San Juan, p, r., April 1.-THE red
star line steamer Caracas with U. $.
Minister Francis b. LOOMS Of Venezu-
ella on board. has sailed from here for
New York.
Mr.. LOOMS said there was no proba-
bility of the United States seyering
diplomatic relations with Venezuela.
Mr.. LOOMS will not report TO Wash

William r. Russell, the secretary OF the
legation, in charge at Caracas.
Answering u question on the subject
Mr.. LOOMS said he saw no necessity
for sending the United States squadron
To Venezuelan waters. though he ad-
mitted that 1t was possible this might
be done. Venezuela is now quiet, and
there is no immediate apprehension OF
a revolution. The minister said he be-
leves President Castro is capable OF
handling the situation. He made no
direct statement regarding the possible
ity OF trouble between the United States
and Venezuela, remarkIng that he could
not talk on the subject before reaching
Washington but so far as he knew, the
entire Misunderstanding was due TO the
asphalt controversy and In his opinion,
months will elapse before It Is settled
In the courts. He refused TO deny that
a certain anti American ring would be
glad to see him recalled. Mr., LOOMS
thought there was nothing serious In
the situation.

FIGURES AND FACTS.
Ogden standard Fails to Graduate
in a sum In Simple Addition.

The Ogden Standard in an editorial
last night says
"Thirty-seven miles south to Salt
Lake City, and thirty miles further
south and 10 the west would take the
Southern Pacific from Ogden to the
south end OF Great Salt Lake--that is
81 miles. Then another 81 miles north.
plus 16 miles, would place the rails
on the west shore OF the lake, on
parallel with Ogden-that Is to say 100
miles OF und-about-the-lake would
bring the road as far on Its westward
course as the IS miles of lake cutoff.
Yet Salt Lakers talk OF the possibility
of the round -about-the-lake being
built. Great railroaders, those Salt
Lakers."
The fact OF the matter Is that when
the cut-off from Elko, New, to Salt
lake is finished the distance between
Ilintah and Elko VIII be reduced by IS
miles over the ogden route, and at the
same time there would not be any OF
The distressing grades and heavy haul
age 10 be negotiated as there are at the
nresent over Kelton and Promontory,
and which cost the Southern Pacific
Thousands OF dollars every month. II
goes without saying that the time
would also be cut down by hours. II
the Union Pacific decides also TO con-
struct the Chalk Creek cutoff through
Emigration canyon the transcontinental
time would be further materially re-
duced. II Is understood that the
Union Pacific still holds an option on
the right of way OF the old Utah 4
wyoming which has a charter for that
grade.

gelters Capt. Porter, of the United

Judge Kohlsaat issued a bench war

Pending a hearing of his case before
the federal grand jury Skoog was con-
fined in the county jail at Joliet while
the Cook county Jail was being recon
structed. Early on the morning OF
March % he made his escape with two
other alleged counterfelters, James Foo
lev and Jacob Johnson. The latter two
sawed in two the bars Of the Jail while
Skoog smothered the sunds by playing
an accordion.
Skoog Is said to have re-engaged In
counterfelting the same bills since his
escape.
