Has Freed Them All.
Washington, Dec. 12.-Minister Bow
Ell. at Caracas. in cablegram to the
state department confirms the press re-
ports that all the German and British
prisoners have been released.
This was the only advice that came
to the state department overnight as to
the situation in Venezuela. but it was
welcome, for the officials felt that by
releasing these civilians President Cas-
trO had diminished greatly the most
dangerous factor in the problem. Had
he insisted on retaining them in ;iil the
allies must have dispatched ii force to
the capital of Venezuela. and war out
right would have ensued
Details Of the sinking Of the Eenezu-
elan navy by the allied naval forces
are awaited with interest here, and the
officials could not but express their re-
greet and surprise that it had been found
necessary to proceed to such extremi-
ties.
Nothing has yet occurred to induce
the state department to change the
policy Of nOninterference which it has
adopted. The president is showing par
ticllar interest in fhe situation and
called Secretary Hay away from his
regular DIPLOMATIC reception to confer
respecting Venezuela. The caiairnen
Of the two congressional committees
with the care Of foreign affairs also
called at the state department during

Developments.

MONTE CARLOS PENSION LIST.
Small Sums Paid to Persons Who
Have Lost Their Fortunes In
the Casino.

Monte Carlo, the most famous gam
bling place in the world, has very Curl
Gus pension list. Here are inscribed
the names of the men and women who
have lost their fortunes at the tables,
and who are allowed small sums daily
for the rest of their miserable lives.
This practice, says the Ledger Month
ly, which was inaugurated by Pere
Blanc in his paternal care for the
decaves, is also being dropped as the
pensionnaires die out. The pensions
now paid range from one to eight dol
lars a day, according to the amount
which has been lost at the tables and
the social position of the recipient.
For instance, tall Scotchman who is a
familiar figure upon the Promenade
des Anglais in Nice, receives two louis
(about eight dollars) per day. He lost
million and a quarter at roulette. He
has still a small income, and the bank,
therefore, considers his pension sufh-
cient to keep this broken vessel from
coming to the ground. If one could go
through the whole list, what story
might be written anent each item!
There is no hope of the casino being
closed, not even during the summer;
but if people would only restrain their
passion for gambling for another five
years, as they showed themselves
capable of doing during the winter Of
90 and '97, the dividend will come out
zero, and the bank will be broken, not
in name only, but also in deed.

LESSON THAT WAS NEEDED.
Lack of POIfteness Brought Humtlia-
ton Upon a Philadelphia
In Munich.

A Philadelphia railroad contractor,
who has recently returned from
abroad, tells of an experience that be-
fell him in Munich illustrative of the
difference in prevailing customs. says
an exchange of that city. Armed with
a number of letters of introduction to
European railroad officials, he made it
a point to inquire into the workings of
the various systems, and was treated
with uniform courtesy. At Munich he
thought he had acquired all the in
formation he was after, and as he
passed out of the Office of the man with
whom he had been talking he put on
his hat.
He had scarcely been ushered out
when it occurred to him that there was
one more matter about which he had
forgotten to inquire. II Immediately
retraced my steps," said the Philadel-
phian, land again entered the Office,
neglecting to remove my hat. I saw
the same official with whom I had been
talking, and, apologizing for taking up
SO much of his time, put the question
to him. Without word he reached up,
took off my hat and placed it in my
hand. Then he answered my query
and bowed me out. It made nee feel
rather cheap"
