A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER
Venezuela's President Has an Idea
that His Soldiers Can Conquer
Uncle Sam.

Willemstad, Island of Curacoa
March 17.-According to trustworthy
advices received here the situation in
Venezuela is unchanged, except that
the relations between President Cas-
tro and the various legations at Cara
cas- are a little more strained. Castro
has now ceased to talk with the Euro
pean representatives concerning the
Venezuelan Indebtedness and the re-
cent recall of Gen. Velutini, second vice
president of Venezuela, who has been
in Europe for some time endeavoring
to arrange for a settlement with the
British and German bondholders, is
regarded as an indication that the
negotiations have failed.
Castro's attitude is reflected in a
pamphlet just issued by one of his
advisers, Col. Lamedc, in which plans
for sending 10000 Venezuelans against
New Orleans are disclosed. The pam
phlet urges the public to avenge the
insults offered to Venezuela by the
Americans and declares that the inva-
sion of the Mississippi valley would
be the most effective means of curb
ing the power of the United States.

Members of the Newspaper Publish

Augusta, Me-, March 1S.-Articles
were filed Friday with the secretary

Publishers Paper Co, with a capital
stock of $6,000,000.

formed from the reorganization of the
White Mountain Paper Co., capital
25,000,000, for which in July, 1903,
receiver was appointed by the courts.
1t is understood that many of the
members of the American Newspaper
Publishers association are interested
in the new company and that ulti-
mately the corporation will furnish
paper for the leading newspapers Of
the United States.
1t is understood that the company
will take over at once 300,0 acres Of
wood land in New Hampshire and
Maine and upon the foundations al
ready laid at Portsmouth, construct a
paper mill.

Electrical Executions.

Thomas A. Edison was recently
asked if he had invented the apparatus
used for the elocution of murderers in
New York and Ohio. 81 did not" he
said, "and l am sorry that electricity
has been put TO such a use. OF course
that is the most painless method of
putting anyone to death. There is a
sensation of a moment only-as quick
as the bat of an eye. But in that sec
ond there is pain indescribable. The
flash comes and shock; it is ten times
more excruciating than the feeling
that results from ones placing his
hands on live Goals. 1t is a burning
devilish, narrowing feeling. Imagine
the quick thrusting of 10000 hot needle
points into the body at one time and
you may have a faint idea of the shock
when the current is turned on" Mr.
Edison is opposed TO capital punish
ment, holding that murderers should
be locked up and put to work for life
Indeed, he thinks that this would be
greater punishment than killing them.

Pittsburg, March 1S.-Master Me-

mace department of the Clarion Steel
Co.. met a horrible death last night in
an attempt to save the company's
property. When an oil line with 500
pounds pressure burst and set fire to
the cast house, Watson went into the
building to try to shut off the flow. In
a moment he was drenched with oil.
His eyes were burned out, and stag
gering to the front of the building he
fell to the ground, fracturing his skull.

Awful Cost of War.

A comparative estimate of the
losses of Russia and Japan in the
first year of the war is given in
recent issue of the London Daily Mail.
The total casualty list on both sides
is set down at 240 900, of whom 10000
were killed or drowned at sea ire
spective of those who died of disease
or privation or were taken prisoners.
The figures for the Manchurian cam
paign are given as $3.50 Japanese
and III 900 Russians killed and
wounded, the prisoners being esti-
mated at 600 and 3,4S3, respectively.
In the Port Arthur operations $500
Japanese and II 400 Russians were
killed OF wounded, and $4,000 Russians
captured. In addition to this, 1873
Japanese and 2,527 Russians were lost
at sea. OF superior officers the Rus
slams have lost eight generals (in-
Guiding Count Keller and Gen. Kon-
drachenko) and one admiral, while
eight generals and four admirals sur
rendered at Port Arthur. So far as
is known the Japanese have only lost
two generals. In regard to material,
the Russians have lost 500 guns, seven
battleships, 13 cruisers and a quantity
of other vessels of a total value of
G16,500,000, while the Japanese have
lost Is guns, one battleship four pro-
tected cruisers and two coast-defense
ships. Finally, the total cost of the
war is estimated at G160,000000, OF
which G1O7OO0,OOO falls to Russia
The figures are tremendous, and it is
difficult to read them without GER
tain sense of shame at the way in
which our trining losses during the
Boer war were written and talked
about. Our excuse must, we suppose,
be that minor operations often cause
more pain to patients than those which
are great and serious.
