RAILROAD LINES OF AMERICA
This Country Ahead of All Others in
Mileage and Equipment.

This Country Ahead of All Others in
Mileage and Equipment.
Apparently the construction of new
railroads and the extension of old
ones has added something like 5000
miles Of main track to the steam
lines of the United States in the year
1902. This will bring the total mile
age of the country up to about 205, 900.
No other grand division of the earth s
surface can show any such figures as
these. Europe has several times the
population of the United States, but
she falls considerably short of this
country in railroads, her main track
of steam lines reaching about 185, 900
miles at the end of this year, allow
ing in 1902 a construction a little
above the average Of that of recent
previous years. The entire mileage
of the railroads of all the world out
side of the United States-Europe,
Asia, Africa, Australasia, North Amer
lea Canada and Mexico). Central
America and South Americas some
thing like 100000, or less than half
as large again as that of the Urited
States alone.

Venezuela Yields To Demands Of
European Allies.
ALL IN BoWEN's CONTROL.

Washington, Jan. Decentralization
was received here of the reports from
Caracas to the effect that all barriers
in the way of a settlement of the claims
of Great Britain. Germany and Italy
against Venezuela have been removed
by the last named country yielding to
the demands of the European allies.
Minister Bowen, it was learned, would
leave Caracas and come direct to the
United States on one of our warships.
1t is probable that the Dolphin will be
used for this purpose. Minister Bowen
will be clothed with authority to rep
resent Venezuela as her commissioner
for the adjustment of all claims out of
hand without reference to The Hague
tribunal, or if this be found impossible,
then he is authorized to act for Vene-
zuela in settling all points open to
controversy as far as possible and of
drafting the terms on which final
and conclusive arbitration shall be
made by the international court at The
Hague.
Caracas, Venezuela.-It has been
learned from an authoritative source
that United States Minister Bowen has
received orders to leave Venezuela
next Thursday for Washington, where
he will present the Venezuelan case to
the commission. An American warship
will call for Mr.. Bowen at La Guaira.
The foreign Office here is working
day and night upon the preparation of
documents that the Venezuelan case

Senator, Has Mysterious Friend

Senator Wellington of Maryland has
a mysterious admirer. He is about
as mheh surprised that anyone should
single him out as an object of admira-
ton as lis any one who has watched
his erratic political course. One day
when he sat down to his desk he
found a large bunch of American
beauty roses. No card accompanied
the gift. A few days later he found
another and much larger sheaf of the
same flowers, attached to which was a
card bearing the words "Semper FL
delis." There was no name and none
of the pages or attendants could learn
how the roses reached his desk. The
Senator is getting a bit nervous over

the War Vessels.
During it's trial trips in the bay of
Danzig the cruiser Novik, which was
built by Schichau, maintained a speed
of over 25 knots per hour for six
hours, and an average of 26 knots par
hour during a trip of three hours.
The vessel was not accepted by the
owners until the required speed had
been made by it's own crew on trial
trips lasting for several hours.
The large English armored cruiser
Drake is to make % knots; whether
it can do it is yet to be proved. The
Hogue, which may be taken to be a

pable of doing only % knots.
