moned a Mr.. Hayward to come from Eng

MILLIONAIRE COUNTRIES.
The United States Is Worth Sixty
Billion Dollars.

From the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Counting in billions Of thousand
million dollars, this country is worth"
sixty billions; Great Britain, silky bill
lions; Germany, forty-fve; France,
forty-fve; AustroHungary, twenty
four; Russia, seventeen; and Italy,
twelve billions. This is an estimate
made In a French magazine 1t is said
to be approximately accurate" This
may mean that 1t Is as good as any
other estimate of the kind.
AS soon as we begin to count in bill
lions, it is guesswork, because all we
really understand or count is the first
figures. Thus we really know how to
count we'll and easily up to hundred
and fairly we'll up to thousand. We
can count our wealth In sixty billions
by comparing the sixty with the
same figures for England and with
'forty-hve" for France and 30 on. The
best mathematicians never get much
further than this. BY thinking Of bill
lions and trillions as II each were an
apple or any other single thing, 1t is as
easy to count them as 1t Is to count
tens or hundreds.
Most Of us get frightened or puzzled
when we get into high numbers" We
feel sure we do not understand them.
This Is right The mistake we make
is in thinking that other people do.
They count them but do not really
count in them. They cannot under
stand billion or a trfllion any more
than we can, but they may 90 ON count
ing In tens and hundreds 10 number
their billions without being frightened
at the idea. The use most apt to be
made Of estimates of the wealth Of
nations Is in finding out how much
debt each people can carry and pay.
If each person in a nation Of flfty or
ninety million people can pay $40 a
year for public debt, the country can
count in very high numbers as one of
the great Millionaire countries OF the
world.

leaving is absolutely false

public said Charge d'Affaires Rodriguez
today, that the reports given to the

legation has been in constant communi-

is no truth whatsoever in the report that
lines have been cut in the interior of
Nicaragua.
There is no truth, either, in the news
concerning the capture of the town of
Chinandaga and FL video and the reports
of executions and imprisonments in Man
aqua are absolutely without foundation. On
the contrary, the capital Is as calm al can
be possible under the circumstances. The
congress is holding it's ordinary sessions

December 1. and is believed to relate
to the Nicaraguan situation.
The arrival of the message and the
tine set for its perusal in a short mes
sage of instructions which preceded

the fact that the gunboat Princeton,
which sailed from Bremerton navy
yard yesterday en- route to Corinto,
will arrive at Mare Island early on

The unopened message, ii is stated,
Is the longest received at the Mare ISL
and navy yard since the Spanish Amer

to be orders relative to preparations
for naval activity presumably bear

According TO orders received by the
