CAsTRO's CHALLENGE.
Invites a Free Discussion of His
Public Acts.

Washington, Dec, 31.-President Cas-
tro of Venezuela has written an open
letter, copies of which have been re-
ceived by officials here, in which he de-
tends the general policy he has pur-
sued and throws considerable. light on
his aspirations. An indirect allusion is
made to the German affair in the pres
ident's appeal for united support in de-
Tense of the fatherland. The letter was
in response to an application, which
was granted, for the release of several
journalists imprisoned at Caracas In
the course of the letter President Cas-
tro says:
'It is painful to observe that the rash
ness of some, the impatient ambition of
others, the mistaken criticism of the
leading classes and the obstinacy of the
revolutionary spirit have sorely tried
time when 1 have desired to see the
country happy and it's citizens enjoying
every comfort, l have had the painful
duty of adopting repressive measures
contrary to my character, my education
and all my sentiments
IF the offenders in this case have not
succeeded in overthrowing the govern
ment, they have nevertheless contrib
uted to the propaganda which delays
the fruit of peace and makes our prog
ress and our prosperity captive in the
clutches of the monster of civil war
Our prosperity has been withheld
through errors and entanglements for
which my government is not RESPONSE
BILE but which claim a prompt and quick
solution In carrying out this policy, L
should have the support of all the citi-
zens of Venezuela because therein rests
the sovereignty of the fatherland.

these journalists my wish to see them
again fulfilling their duties of party OPP

RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD.
q. s. Has Six Times the Mileage Of
Any Other Nation.

The announcement by the Railway
Age that a larger addition has been
made to the railway mileage of the
United States i'll 1901 than in any pre-
ceding year since 1890 lends special in
terest to some figures just published
by the treasury bureau of statistics re-
garding the railways of the United
States and of the world.
According to these figures the steam
railways of the United States now ag-
gregate practically 100000 miles, and
those of the entire world nearly 100000
miles. This does not include railways
operated by electricity, of which the
mileage exclusive CT street and subur-
ban roads, is now considerable and rap
idly increasing, so that it may safely
be said that the railway mileage of the
United States exclusive of those for
street and suburban service, is fully
200, 600 miles.
For the entire world the London Daily
total miles open for traffic at 84S, 34S, of
which 220,657 miles are in North Amer1-
ca, 16S,600 in Europe. $3.50 in Asia, 2S,-
1854 in South America, Is, $50 in Africa
and 1929 miles in Australasia Thus
the United States have two-fifths OF
the railway mileage of the world and a
larger mileage than any other single
country.
Comparing the mileage of other coun-
tries with that of the United States, the
United States stand first with 199,37S
29, 1874; France, e. 613; India, 25, OBS; Aus
tria-Hungary, 22.919; Great Britain and
Ireland, 21,700; Canada. 1867; British
Australasia, 1926; Argentina, 10,419;
Italy, $50; Mexico. 9,603; Brazil, s, us,
and Spain $500 miles.
