An indication Of the prosperity OF the United States
during 1901 is shown by the fact that miles Of railroad
built during year than in any previous year
since 1880. The total for the year is 5000 miles.
The total mileage for the country IS about 100000
miles according to statistics published in the Railway
Age.
Senator Depew in his Railroad Day address at the Pan
American showed what good index the railroad business
of the prosperity the country what close
laton such traffic sustains to the whole community and
its progress. Few realize the intimate and important
character of these relations The immense output Of
steel plants in months in the form of rails and
other material for railroads noted in these columns
shot time ago. also the fact that many plants have sold
their output for a long period in advance.
This goes to- show that there will be let-uD at

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1902-02-14

YOKOHAMA, Feb. 1.-THE press
here gives vent to unmixed pleasure at
the conclusion of the agreement with
Great Britain which secures for Japan
admission to the comfy of great ma
tons. The press also recognizes that
the agreement Imposes heavy respon-
sibilities and that Japan must not fall
into the error of supposing that peace
will be- assured without further effort.
Several of the papers comment upon
the extraordinary fact that the lead
ing world power abamlons its policy of
splendid Isolation openly to clasp hands
with Japan. The Nichinichi Shimbun
says that the union of the strongest
military power in the cast with the
greatest naval power in the world con.
stitutes an inrincible force.

Stripes fer Prisoners,

Dover, Del, Feb. Is. The striped
uniform will hereafter be worn by the
prisoners Of the Dover Jail, and some
Of the covicts incarccratcd there are
respondent at the news.
Tho Levy Court to-day decided that
it would be only economical, but a
distinct safeguard to adopt u prison
uniform Of striped cotton duck to be
worn by every prisoner comm tilted to
the Jail by order Of the Court Of Gcu-
cral Sessions.
Heretofore the county had been
supplying needed clothing to its
prisoners through orders by the iail
commissioners. and many prisoners
have gotten into the Jail by the COM
mission of some trivial oifensc to cot
rugged out in new Snit of clothes.
The court, therefore. decided to adopt
a uniform that they would not be so
anxious to wear, either IN or out Of
the institution. and that would also
make more dilliclll any chance of
escape.
