Extract From Recent Speech of United
States Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire:

"That New Orleans is the natural starting
point of departure for American mails for Chile
and Peru from all of the United States east of
the Rocky Mountains is a manifest geographic
cal fact. The opening of the Trans Andine
Railway a few months hence will make New
Orleans the proper point of departure for such
mails; also for Argentine Though not for Bra
zil) The distance from New York to Buenos
Aires by sea is 1868 nautical miles, equivalent
to 68o7 statute miles, The distance by rail
from New York to- New Orleans, from New
Orleans to Colon. from Panama to Valparaiso
and from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires is 6,o47
statute miles, as compared with 6,8o7 statute
miles bv sea from New York to Buenos Aires
But the mail route via New Orleans will have
the advantage of 1922 miles by rail- where the
speed will be double that by sea- With the
steamship lines to be subsidized by Chile and
Peru in operation. letters from New York will
reach Buenos Aires three days sooner by the
New Orleans route than by the al-sea route.
From San Francisco by way of Panama to
Valparaiso is 685S statute miles. From San
Francisco by rail to New Orleans is 2,482
miles, and thence by sea to the Isthmus and on
to Valparaiso is 1925 statute miles more,
7,1o7 statute miles in all. The mail route by
way of New Orleans has the advantage of a
railroad haul of 2.482 miles, where double the
sea speed can easily be made, involving saw
ing of nearly three days even on mails from
San Francisco to Valparaiso.
IF the New York mails for Buenos Aires
and the San Francisco mails for Valparaiso can
be carried more expeditiously by the New Or
leans route than by direct routes, then OBJ
viously the South American mails from the
great interior cities of the United States will
make an even greater saving in time by the
New Orleans route
The foregoing statistics demonstrate be-
yond shadow of doubt the geographical ad-
vantage of New Orleans as related to the South
American ports, for the facts which apply TO
mails apply as we'll to freight and passenger
traffic.
1t also demonstrates clearer than could
voluminous report that New Orleans is and
should be the logical point for the Worlds
Panama Exposition, which will be held to ex-
emplify the greatest engineering feat the
United States has ever undertaken and the
World has ever known. ~a assHaskl aef &1s

Facts Concerning
Biological Point.

theological Point.
Extract From Recent Speech of Presi=
dent w. w. Finley of the Southern
Railway:
From the early days of the republic,
and especially ever since the discovery of
gold in California, an inter-oceanic canal
has been cherished dream of the Amer
lean people. 1t is dream the realization
of which is now in sight, and it is appro-
pirate that its opening should be httingly
celebrated by great international exposi-
ton on the soil of the United States-an
exposition designed to make us better
acquainted with those peoples whom
it will bring closer to us and to make
them better acquainted with us; to give
us more comprehensive knowledge of
the resources of their countries and to
show them what we have for sale that
will supply their wants.
Il need not say that a SOUTHERN CITY
is the most logical place for such an exposition.
Its primary object will be to pave the way for
the enlargement of foreign markets for Amerl-
can goods in the Latin-American countries. 1t
follows therefore, that while the participation
of the United States in it should be truly
tional, the most appropriate location would he
in our SOUTHERN SECTION, which pro-
duces so largely the commodities which the
Latin-American countries want from us, and
which has the advantage of proximity. a
SOUTHERN CITY would be most conven-
lent for the people of all the Latin American
countries, and especially for those of Mexico,
Central America, the northern part of South
America and the West Indies

HERRING CATCH FALLS OFF.
Fishermen Blame Their Small Hauls
on Muddy Water.

The heavy rains of the past week have
caused a current in the river that
brought down large quantities Of mud
from the upper waters until the clear
waters of the river have been changed
to liquid mud. This has caused a big
falling off in the number of herring be-
ing caught at Fairy Landing and other
haul seine shores along the river be-
tween Alexandria and Indian Head.
Early in this week the receipts Of
herring at the fish wharf here averaged
over a hundred thousand per day. Yes
terday the lighters coming from Fairy
Landing. which has been catching from
$4,000 to 1900 on each haul. came into
port with less than 10000 aboard, and
the catch this morning was also very
light.
The fishermen state that shad and her
ring do not like muddy water, and meet
ing il as they come up the river to the
spawning grounds about this city they
turn back to seek clear water. Should
the rains and muddy water continue it
will have a serious effect upon the fish
cries for the few weeks remaining in
which the ish can be caught
