The congress was dissolved. Then the
 revolution broke out and Uribe- Uribe
 took the field. in Santander, the richest | coffee growing state of Colombia.
 | While affairs were thus disturbed in
 Santander. Cipriano Castro. a Vene-
 zuelan exile living in Cucuta, profited | by the occasion to lead q small band of Colombian liberals into Venezuela. After q crushing defeat at Valencia President Andrade fled the country, and Castro entered Caracas in triumph.
 His early Colombian adherants got Venezuelan government jobs. All went we'll for a while, especially after | the prompt suppression of a counter | revolution, until Castro's sympathies
 with the Colombian liberals in the field began to tell on his foreign policy. | Uribe-uribe had been badly beaten in | Colombia. He was made welcome by Castro in Venezuela, and was entrusted with the command of a division on the the Colombian frontier. Then the government forces in Santander, to bring relief to the stricken district. tried to open the closed rivers by T
 sudden armed invasion into that region of Venezuela through which the rivers flow to the sea. For the sake of ap- pearances they were led by Ranjei GarSiras. Venezuelan revolutionist.
 They made for the prosperous town Of San Cristobas, but Uribe-U -Uribe had
 managed to gather his corps of insur-
 gents. and beat off the attack in
 three days battle. Uribe-Uribe prompt
 ly prepared counter invasion. lie
 was aided in this by Castro, who prac-
 tically put all the Venezuelan forces in
 the Cordillera at his disposal.
 The expenses of Castros various armed expeditions ate up all his ready
 finances. When he could TO longer maintain Uribe-Cribe's troops. Uribc cut loose and recrossed the border to join forces with other insurgent leaders in the interior of Colombia. Uribe's cousin proceeded to Panama, and the civil war there broke out with fresh in the harbor of Panama, the Colom- bian liberals have won the command ot the sea on the Pacific side. To assist them in doing the same on the Atlantic side, Castro has now supplied them with torpedo boat and a smaii gum boat. Threatened by Germany's fin- ancial demands on one side, and by in ternal revolution on the other, Cipriano Castro still puts the advancement Of
 the liberal cause in a neighboring state ahead of everything. It remains to be seen whether the triumph of the liber-
 als in Colombia shall mean Castro's ruin in Venezuela.

out exception tine mule has always contributed generously to the defeat of the British columns when they were attacked by the Boers. Last Friday. for instance, Methuen and Paris were putting up a good fight until the mules became stampeded, following which the British soldiers fled in panic The con- fusion wrought by mule stampedes has accounted for nearly every Boer victory. It would have been eminentiy proper for the president to mention the great assistance which this country is rendering to the burghers through sales oi mules to the British govern ment. and since the opportunity to make this fact clear was omitted, The Republican hastens to assure the Boer delegates in this country that the United States can be of no more effect i've service to President Kruger than by furnishing Missouri mules to John Bull

Washington Post: Thirty years ago Senator Perkins travelled through the mountains on the eastern edge of Cali fornia looking for mine which an old minister had discovered while heading westward. From the trail on the side down upon what seemed to be a sea of white. He thought it was alum and hurried on. The place was known as Deaths Valley, and as it meant to per away as soon as possible. Six years later the field of white, glistening stuff was discovered to be borax, and a man named F. M. Smith. who was then now millionaire and is known as the boraX king. MT. Smith was at the cap itol yesterday and Mir. Perkins. who might have been the borax king, was time I missed fortune" said MT. Per kins. "Once, with some associates, I owned over 200, 900 acres of land in So- nora, Mexico. We bought the land for cents, thinking we were lucky to get a purchaser. Today the property is worth between $30, ,000, 900 and $40, ,000, 900. It is the site of the Greene CCnsoli- dated Copper company, one of the greatest copper producing properties in the world

NJ Dubail. the French minister to Japan, has reported to his government . that the merchant vessels of the coun- try, both steam and sailing, in
 creasing with wonderful rapidity. In the past four years 300 sailing vessels of 250, coo tons have been added to the fleet. Many of these vessels are small and many were purchased from foreign countries; but M. Dubail says, such rapid progI ess in shipping facilities has rarely been made in any country, and the increase in the number of large vessels is quite remarkable. In 1896 Japan had only one merchant steamer of more than 5,000 tons, while today it has twenty-one steamers of more than that capacity. It remains to be seen how far this great addition to the commercial fleet represents actual growth in Japan's business interests. In the past few years Japan has ap- propriated large sums to be given as bounties to encourage ship building and also the purchase of vessels from foreign countries that have not been built more than five years. In addition to this encouragement of ship building large annual subsidies have been paid to special lines plying from Japan to Europe, Australia, Seattle and san Francisco. It is said, however that many are not eligible for a share of the bounties because they have not satis- fled the requirements of the building law. It is also asserted by British builders, who, of course, are unfriendly to Japanese shipbuilding, that the Japanese have been tempted to build or buy vessels on the mere chance of find ing a rnodicum of employment for them somewhere or other. The bounty paid is regulated by the tonnage of the ves- sel and the number of miles in runs during the year. Of course, Nagasaki, with the coal mines, near it, is the great center of Japanese shipbuilding. The waters of this most southern port of Japan have an historic interest, for it was here alone that the emperor of Japan for three centuries permotted Europeans to exchange their commodi- ties for the products of the islands. This privilege was confined wholly to the Dutch. Now that d large number of treaty ports are open to foreign trade the importance of Nagasaki as a commercial center has greatly de- clined. but the town is compensated to some extent by the large shipbuildine interests which are centered there.

PHOENIX ARIZ., MARCH 1S, 1902,
The most that Americans understand,

The most that Americans understand, as rule. concerning the endless
 troubles in Central Amer WHY ica, is that there is always THEY a fight on hand. Why FIGHT. the people o: that region
 are so belligerent is never clear. A considerable amount of light however, is thrown on the situation by a comprehensive article in the March Review of Reviews by Mir. Edward Emerson, Jr., in a discussion of the issues of the war between Colombia and Venezuela.
 Ut was borne in upon me" says MT. Emerson, that the apparently sense less hostilities that were running two countries were but resumption of the old strife between liberalism and the heritages of Spain's clerical regime over her colonies. New circumstances have arisen to fan the old fight to flercer flame. One is that the governments and peoples of all the neighboring republics by which Colombia is hemmel
  in sentiment These people. for the most part. are ready to help their fel- low liberals up in arms on the other side of the frontier
 Mir Emerson then goes on to explain that Colombian insurgents. when beaten in the field. can always find a safe refuge in Costa Rica. Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador or Venezuela, and can prepare new expe- ditions across the line. Another nov ing impetus toward war is the low price of coffee. produced by the over production of Brazil. For the coffee planters of Colombia and Venezuela. the shipping cost of coffee almost corre- spends to it's present selling price. As a result. the coffee plantations lie idle. and the starving peons readily take to soldering. The presence of large bod ies of soldiers, rapacious and destruc- tive. as all soldiers are, in its turn, in creases the difficulties of coffee produc- tion. A third moving issue is the long promised sale of the isthmian canal The Isthmus of Panama is the last pay ing asset of Colombia. Whoever holds the isthmus, with it's two ports of entry, with it's valuable canal and rail- road properties, thereby comes into possession of the country's cash.
 A brief historical retrospect over re- cent events in South America makes the issues fairly clear. At the time when Spain was losing Cuba, the last congress of Colombia sat in Bogota. The liberal party had but one spokes- man in the congress-to-wit, Rafael Uribe- Uribe. The government ma jor- ity championed the cause of Spain. Uribe-Uribe was the only man in the congress who spoke for America as against Spain. He was hissed down. Next, the Panama canal question came up. The French concession was to be extended for ten years. Again Uribe- Uribe spoke for America as against France. The project was voted down.

It is curious, remarks the Springfield Republican. how our politics gets sifted down, whenever any important issue arises. to terms of commodities and markets. Here is the Cuban question. which the president declares to be one of national honor, being dominated by the sugar beet. Congressmen are either for or against the sugar beet ''swate beet iv liberty" as MT. Dooley says-when they line up on the issue Of reciprocity. Everywhere you see the sugar beet stalking about. T triumph of saccharnity and the ter TOT of the honorable member from the west. Once it was wool that eX- pressed the genius of American poli- tics; and then everything was reduced to tin plate. The white metal also had its day. And now we are face to | face with the sugar beet.

There Is no dis guising the fact that it was the | speeches of Altgeld on the money ques- tion in 1896 which gave most trouble to the republican leaders.

Had it not been that his arguments were frequently weakened by bitterness of expression, he would have been still more dangerous. His | own financial misfortunes undoubtedly threw into his speeches q harshness which was not natural. Another con tributing cause was the unmerciful criticism to which he had been sub jacted because of his pardon of the Chicago anarchists, Neebe and Schwab.
 As judge on the bench in Chicago, he had been noted for his learning, clear
 ness of reasoning and upright charac- ter, and the high record thus estab- ished swept hir,l into power as the gov
 ernor of Illinois on democratic tidal
 wave. That he was thoroughly honest
 in his action touching the anarchist
 pardons. and that he was prompted
 solely by g conviction of duty, cannot
 be doubted. In that celebrated case, as
 in other things of less importance his emotional, sympathetic nature led him astray. Conscious of his own recti- tude his subsequent life was embit- tered by the country's savage criticisms of the pardon. To have his foI tune swept away at the same time com pleted the cloud. Thereafter Altgeld was an extremist. UnQuestionably he fully believed all the foolish things he said aDOUl tilt cOIiIlS uOOHl Ol tlc TepupiiCi
 the enslavencnt of the people and the
 ''conspira oies" Of wealth. It Is one Of
 the best compliments to the common
 sense of the American people that his
 impulsiveness and lack of thorough
 balance were quickly understood and
 discounted.
 All in all, he was a most remarkable
 man, and patriotic citizen. Governor
 Yates has acted with entire propriety
 in issuing 9 proclamation calling atten-
 tion to the public services and worth of
 John P. Altgeld, and directing proper observance of his death. The state of
 Illinois does well to show respect to the storm-driven soul that is at last at
 peace.

In their informal conferences with the Boer delegates President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay did not make the most of their opportunity from a dip lomatic standpoint. It was a foregone conclusion that the administration would refuse to listen to any sugges- tions of American intervention. and perhaps the Beers did not really expect any substantial encouragement from Washington. But it would not havn been inappropriate to direct their at tention to the great assistance which the Boers in the field have received from the Missouri mule. The motive power of the British wagon trains and pack trains is the mule. and invariably he Is an American product. And with

YALE's GREAT VICTORY.
Defeated Harvard by a Sided
Score

By defeating Harvard Saturday after
noon at New Haven, by q score OF % to O.
Yale has proved herself the undisputed foot
ball champion of the year. In fact, by her
magnificent work against Harvard, coupled
with her defeat of Princeton a week ago,
she fairly deserves to be placed in a class
by herself. OF Yale it may truly be said
that in foot ball she is first without a
rival.
Smarting under her defeat year ago at
the hands of Harvard by score of % to
o. and with the suspicion aroused that Har-
ward. ii victorious, might wish to sever
athletic relations with her, Yale giants
Saturday fought with q determination and
apparently irresistible force seldom before
witnessed.
At every point, both in the work Of the
team as a whole and individual players
Yale showed herself far superior to Har-
ward. The crimson's vaunted ends were
sorry disappointments Only now and then
Harvard was able to make Roadway with
the ball. and then only by short gains
through YaIe's line. The few instances In
were disastrous. and from the very begin
ming it was evident that the best Harvard
could hope to do was to hold Yales score
down to a reasonable limit.
= Every man in the Yale team deserves I'M
limited credit for the game he played At
every point the Yale line was practically
impregnable.
1t is unfair to single out any one man
as most deserving Of praise, as all rose
noby to every opportunity that presented
Itself. Captain Chadwick. as Walter Camp
said at the conclusion Of the game. threw
the essence Of his own spirit into the or
ganization and the whole team followed
him one man to victory.

signs Of increasing animation were noticed,
and within an hour she was able to sit

About the first thing she said was that

CLEVELAND ON DEMOCRACY.
Ex-President otines His Views on tn.
Present Situation.

In signed statement tn the New York
World ex-Presdent4 Cleveland outlines his
views regarding the future prospects Of the
democratic party. He sums up as follows:
The hope Of the democratic party lies in
the inevitable discovery by our people OF its
beneficent aims and purposes. Already the
beneflciaries OF the high protective tariff
are so reduced In number, and the benefits
derived from protection are SO paipably
lessened, even as applied to the selfish In
terests Of those who have heretofore insist
ed upon its continuance, that they are in
elined to receive with favor the adoption of
the democratic doctrine of a tariff for rev.
enue. rss .-r. ra-..s
The popular apprehension of the evils of
aggressive expansion and its Incompatible
ity with what has always been regarded as
safe Americanism Is constantly growing
and cannot fail to become. in the near flu
ture, most important factor in the polfti-
cal thought of our people.
The tremendous growth of trusts. the i'm
mense business aggregations and the man
ner in which they stifle heaithful competi-
ton and throttle individual enterprise can
not long pass unheeded by the voters of the
land The stupendous governmental ex-
travagance that now prevails must at
length be appreciated by the people as not
only drain upon their earnings and accu-
mutations, but a most pernicious example,
calculated to undermine the love Of whole
some economy among our citizens. These
topics and others which might be mention
ed, and the abuses connected with them,
should be bravely and uncompromislnSly
dealt with by the democratic party, as they
all involve democratic principle.
We should have sufficient faith IN the IN
telligence and rightmindedness Of our coun-
trymen to arouse a confident anticipation
that they will speedily confide the treat
ment Of these vital questions to the party
which satisfies them Of its intention to deal
with them in an honest, uneQuivocal and
patriotic manner. I see only hope and con-
fidence in the future of the democracy. But
this hope and confidence Is based entirely
on the belief that the party will be true to
itself and true to its profession Of devotion
to the welfare of the people

TWO VERY WICKED CITIES.
Gen. Booths Views Regarding Chicag,
and New York,


Gen. William Booth. head Of the Salvation
Army and author of I'm Darkest England"
expresses the following gloomy views re-
garding Chicago and New York: Chicago
and New York are the two wickedest cities
in the world. They are swamped in vice
and pleasure, and the churches are power
less to stem the tide of sin. They are grow
ing worse and worse.
Neither Chicago nor New York has any
hypocritical pretensions Of being good,'' he
said. "They tolerate vice without blushing.
The Sabbath they desecrate and little more
than one-tenth of the people attend the
churches A great wave of an engulhng
ocean of pleasure, recreation, ease and idle
ness is drowning out the good and dampen-
ing the consciences Of men and women. In
the fullness of wealth they are forgetting
the dangers that beset their homes, their
children and themselves.
'Vice stalks through the streets In both
New York and Chicago its fragrance is I'M
checked. The young men and young women
of the higher order of society are growing
up in luxury and idleness.
rs vice centralized In these cities? 1t Is
not, 1t is widespread. 1t is found in the
sections where the wealthy live and hovers
over nearly the entire area of each metrop-
oils Wickedness has spread to the fash
ionable sections of the cities. and once there
has not been driven out. Instead of being
combated 1t was at first tolerated and now
1t Is abetted."
