INTERESTING URIBE-URIBE THE FOREMOST 1'IGl ItK IN THE COLOMUIAN CIVIL. WAR. For Tuentj-riT? Yenr lie lln Ileen I.nttliiiK Aralnt Oppremtinn Not Dlnconrneecl ly Defeat. New York Sun. The pending civil war In Colombia has eerved to make better known outside the limits of his o-vn country Rafael UribeUribe, the most active leader of the Liberal party and the hero of the revolutionists. Nominally Uribe-Uribe is but one of several commanders, the leader of Liberal forces in the north acting under the orders issued by General Vargos Santos from the Island of Curacao. As a matter of fact, he is regarded throughout Colombia as the coming man of the coming Greater Colombia. On the Conservative side he is described as a monster of cruelty and treachery, a bogie of pious people and children. In the surrounding Liberal countries of Venezuela, Kcuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica he Is a popular idol. His pretended likeness is to be found on numberless boxes of cigarettes and matches, and his name is conjured with by drill sergeants and schoolmasters alike. Uribe's headquarters at the time the writer found him on the Colombian-Venezuelan frontier a month ago were in a deserted hacienda commanding an enchanting view over the Pamplonita valley. It seemed impossible that this should be a scene of conflict, the more so, when some of his younger officers came lounging into headquarters with their tipples little native guitars and chanted Spanish songs of love and longing in melancholy minor. One of those officers was a rich young planter from the Cauca, who had thrown up all to follow Uribe, while another had studied at Cornell University and the Boston Institute of Technolog-y until -his father and brothers had fallen in the war, and he left his studies abroad to fight for the cause. In general, Uribe's officers were prepossessing young fellows of education, though their field rig resembled that of Sicilian bandits. None of them wore anything like a uniform, though they were heavily armed with pistols, daggers and machetes of widely different makes. Their horse gear was eauallr varied, some ridinr mule tads. while others had silver-mounted saddles from Mexico and Peru. General Uribe wore simple civilian clothes of gray material, with an American army hat. lie carried no arms but a cheap Cuban machete, and. like General Sherman, he appeared content with a single spur. His mount, which stood ready saddled near the door, was a magnificent mountain mule of imported Spanish breed. While- the other sang and laughed and smoked. General Uribe spoke of his campaign, himself and the aspirations of his party. So far from being a fiery speaker, he Is rather a man of few and very simple words, unadorned by gestures or other South American flowers of speech. "I am a Colombian." he said proudly. "I was born in Antioquia, Colombia, in 1S59. My mother bore the eame family name as xny father, and this accounts for the duplication of the name. "I began fighting at sixteen, taking part in the Liberal uprising of 1S75. and at this early period in my life I was made a sublieutenant. A bullet through the knee and the suppression of the revolution turned me Into a more peaceful occupation." He mused over the recollections of his early days, and gradually these details came out. He went to Bogota, where he studied Jurisprudence at the National University, receiving his degree of doctor of laws in 1SS0. As a lawyer he did so well that he was elected procurator general the Spanish equivalent for district attorney and was afterward appointed a professor of law at the university. When his Liberal tendencies became too pronounced for further public employmtnt or peaceful residence at Bogota he left the capital and founded a large coffee plantation at Medlllen, in Cauca. At the outbreak ot the revolution in 1S5 the year of the American occupation of the isthmus Uribe Joined the Liberal ranks, and as the commander of a division, took part in the disastrous battle of Tribuna. This defeat ended his career in that campaign. The story that he figured among Liberal commanders on the ithmus who were compelled to capitulate by Lieutenant Commander McCalla is a myth. UNDAUNTED BY DEFEAT. The ways of peace did not hold him long, for when the revolution of 1S05 broke out Uribe at once cast his lot with the Liberals nnd marched a small force of rebels all tha way from Cundinamarca to Tolima. A crushing defeat dispersed his forces. Alone l.e made his way back to Antioquia. where he proceded to raise new revolutionary levies. While this engaged he was made a prisoner, but presently escaped and returned to Tolima. whence he passed with a small force to the mountains of Santauder, and then to the Magdalena river. While crossing the river he was caught between two forces and was taken captive. As a prisoner of war he was confined for fix months In the famous;, or rather. Infamous. Las Bovclas cells of the fortress In the harbor of Cartagena. From there lie was taken to Bogota to be tried for high treason, but before the dat set for the trial he was amnestied, toother with all ether political prisoners in Colombia. Under the more lenient regime of those days he began his political campaign for the Liberal propaganda, and soon took rank as the foremost political orator of Colombia. He was the only Liberal elected to the Colombian congress of 1S5, and as the sole representative of his party fell Into extreme disfavor with the government because of his speeches for the recognition of Cuban belligerency and for a transfer of the isthmian canal project from French to American hands. The most powerful oration of Uribe's career up to this time was delivered in 1SU3 on the occasion when President San demente and his government party proposed to extend the French concession for the Isthmian canal ten years beyond its stipulated expiration in L'H. Under the immediate spell of this speech Uribe's political opponents in congress joined with him in voting the project down. The congress thereupon was dissolved and San demente extended the concession in defiance of the congresional veto. The opponents of San demente reproduced Uribe's speeches In pamphlet form and distributed them broadcast through the land. Uribe himself had to leave the country, and traveled through Ecuador. Gautemala and Nicaragua, seeking to foment an alliance of the Liberal there with those of Venezuela and Colombia. Before his plans were quite ripe the revolutionary standard was raised anew iris:) at Bucaramanga. Uribe's protests against this premature rising had been disregarded, and he was proclaimed as the Literal leader. - Hastening to the scene of action, he took

SURPLUS charge of the revolutionary forces and began his campaign of Santander a campaign famous chiefly for its brilliant defeats. "True generalship," said Uribe-Uribe, "is shown not so much during a battle as afterward. With equal forces, when all is said, the issue of a battle, is always more or less a matter of luck. "A good general has a chance to show his qualities after the battle, either by the vigor of his pursuit, in case of victory, or contrariwise by his steadfast conduct in retreat. Defeats are more trying to the soul than victories. I regret to say that my lessons of war have been largely learned in defeat." The campaign of Santander began for Uribe with a desperate defence against the overwhelming assault of the government troops. The outnumbered Liberal forces were driven back; but Uribe planned his retreat through Santander so as to fetch up after a semi-circular march in the same region whence he had been driven. While executing this retreat, one month later, he achieved his great victory by a brilliant machete charge of 2.000 mounted men against 11.000 government infantry. It was on this occasion that Uribe, followed only by his black orderly, Zuleta, charged across a narrow bridge swept by the enemy's Are, and from the other side exhorted hi3 men to follow. They followed. Zuleta was raised to the rank of captain on the spot. Early in January, 1000, Uribe-Uribe, operating under the superior orders of General Vargos Santos at Teran, turned the impending defeat of his chief into victory by his personel capture of the hostile commander. General Domlnguez, with his entire staff. This stroke was accomplished by a ruse de guerre, which to the present aay is denounced by all the conservatives of Colombia as a despicable act of treachery. BRILLIANT RUSE DE GUERRE. For once the Liberal forces outnumbered their Conservative foes nearly two to one. Uribe was ordered to execute a flank movement, and while riding ahead with his staff unexpectedly came upon the headquarters of General Dominguez. Dismounting at the door, he announced himself as General Casablanca, a Conservative general then supposed to be making his way to effect a junction with Dominguez's army. Entering rapidly with the officers, Uribe surprised Dominguez bending over a map of the battlefield. Dominguez rose to greet his euppose fellow-general, and as he pressed Uribe by the hand he and his followers were suddenly covered by revolvers. Uribe declared that the house was surrounded by his men, and called upon Dominguez to surrender. Dominguez gave up. He was led to believe that the battalions operating under his immediate command were surrounded by overwhelming forces. Falling into the trap, Dominguez sent out orders for surrender. Eight hundred gave themselves up, while the rest took to their heels. Next came the running fight of PaloNegro, which lasted from May 11 to May 2t. Seven thousand Liberals were driven headlong by some 22.000 government forces. Vargos Santos and Uribe made their escape to Ocana. By July Uribe had gathered enough men to advance once more. Ills force of 800 was Intercepted by 5.00) Conservatives at the Rio Negro and was thrown back over the river. Retreat followed disaster after disaster, until Uribe's dwindling forces were utterly dispersed on Aug. 10 in the crushing defeat of Zapatoca. With but three followers Uribe made his way to the coast, traversing the enemy's lines under cover of night. In September, 1900. Uribe reassumed the offensive with thirty followers, all told. His campaign of the coast began with a sudden night assault on the government quarter at Slncileio. The little garrison of 200 men fell into his hands. Government reinforcements of 130 men, with supplies from Lorica, were ambushed, and Uribe captured all their arms and pack mules. Avoiding the government stronghold of Corozal, Uribe surprised another column of reinforcements at Juan Gordo and routed it. The strong town of Maguingue was taken after a two days' fight by assault. A six days' bombardment from the gunboats on the river made the town untenable for Uribe. He had to cut his way out, and falling back on Corozal, succeeded In taking that town after a seven days' siege. The government garrison, with four generals, capitulated, but too late to bring material advantage to Uribe. A large body of government troops sent out from Bogota were already upon him. Retreating from Corozal, he was driven from defeat to defeat In a score of encounters following one upon another throughout the autumn months of 1900. His troops exhausted all their ammunition and finally dispersed In the Department of Magdalena. Uribe, with the help of friends, reached Rio Hacha. Alone he traversed the GoaJIra peninsula, and embarking at Maracalbo sailed to Curacao, the haven for South American refuges. There he met his chief, General Vargos Santos, and laid the plans for the next year's campaign. The first sinews of war for this campaign were raised by Uribe-Uribe in New York early In 1901. When next heard of he was in Caracas, where he succeeded in winning the personal support of Cipriano Castro, the President of Venezuela. When he proceeded to the Colombian frontier it was as a Venezuelan querillero. It was not President Castro's fault that the men who enlisted under Uribe's standard were invariably Colombians. When the Colombian government retaliated by suffering a notorious Venezuelan rebel to lead its government forces on the Venezuelan frontier town of San Cristobal, the defense of the town was promptly intrusted to Uribe. What may be the outcome of the present operations it is not easy to prophesy. Uribe-Uribe may have to tall back on his philosophic comfort in defeat. Whatever the result, Uribe-Uribe will remain one of the greatest figures of all Latin-America. GAVE iMO,X0,00 IX 1!01. At This Rate Carcngie AVill Soon De a Mere Millionaire. Philadelphia Press. Andrew Carnegie has given away $40,000,000 in 1901. This has been the first year that Mr. Carnegie has been able to devote undivided attention to giving away his money in line with his declared intention not to die rich. When Mr. Carnegie wrote his famous saying "To die rich is to die disgraced." the public was incredulous. That was seven years ago. In 1SW Mr. Carnegie gave away $5,000,000. On New Year's day, 1l)1, his gifts aggregated $20.000,000. In 1901 as Mr. Carnegie has had nothing else to do. he has multiplied the amount of all of hi3 former gifts by two. Small and wiry, taking excellent care of himself, with no business worries and engaged in the pleasant pastime of "making his soul" Andrew Carnegie bids fair to live beyond the scriptural seventy years. He was sixty-four years old on the 23th of November. At his present rate of giving he will be comparatively poor five years hence. Up to the present year, Mr. Carnegie had not given away more than his income, estimated at $15.000.000 a year. Now that he has broken Into his principal the income has of course been reduced as well, and this will continue to grow smaller until Mr. Carnegie is an ordinary millionaire. The exact amount of Mr. Carnegie's wealth has never been made public, but the estimate of $21.000.000 made at the time he sold out his steel properties to the United States Steel Corporation late last winter Is accepted as conservative by Wall-street men and financiers. Owing to the great gifts he has made Mr. Carnegie has already decreased his Income about $2,000,000 a year.

SPOT WHEAT IS STRONG

ITS INFLUENCE IIELrS ALL THE MARKETS FOR CEREALS. Adrnncoi nance from .1-Sc In Oats lo 3-4c in the Dominant Grain Provisions Are a Little Up. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Cash strength In wheat and corn and a considerable revival of outside buying bulled the grain pits today, and In spite of the usual Saturday evening let up brought a close very near to top prices all along the line. May wheat was up VSc, corn H'SSic higher and oats kQic advanced. Provisions closed 2c to 10c higher. The trade In wheat was largely of the same character as yesterday nervous and active, with traders generally somewhat skeptical as to the genuine strength of the market. The crowd was soon reassured, however, upon the appearance of an abundance of buying orders in the pit. Liverpool cables were advanced, but as little reflected the condition here yesterday as they did yesterday of Thursday's depression. Antwerp was unchanged and Paris well up, consequently some small attention was given to the foreign situation, and prices advanced a little under the influence of outside buying. When the commission house business began to pick up scalpers came into the market and trade grew heavy. In spite of Saturday's realizing May sold up to SCV4c and closed strong at that figure. Local receipts were 31 cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 295 cars, making a total of 326 cars, against 490 last week and 375 a year ago. Primary receipts were 526,000 bu, compared with 470,000 the corresponding day last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 405,000 bu. Australian shipments were 272,000 bu, compared with 248,000 bu last week. Corn -opened strong and maintained Its tone throughout the short session. The speculative market was broadening noticeably, outsiders were buying and the resting bears began to wake up. Shorts became doubtful and covered, and when the cash situation was reported improving prices began to advance. Liverpool cables were up, based largely on poor receipts from the Danubian country. Country acceptances on Chicago bids were small, and at the same time corn offered from here to New England points was accepted. May sold up to 674c Toward the close commission houses sold for profit and scalpers entered the market, easing prices slightly. May closed strong and Wdftc higher, at 6767Hc. Receipts were 130 cars. Oats had a fair trade. The market worked in sympathy with other grains. On the hard spots the Northwest, as well as St. Louis, had them for sale. Scalpers and local Interests bought them. The advance which began with the opening was the result of the cash improvement and good speculative buying by commission houses and local traders. May sold up to 46c and closed strong and &ic up, at 46 460. Receipts were 79 cars. Provisions were dull and steady. Lard absorbed much of the attention. There was some changing of May for January and some small outside buying of pork. The hog market was dull, though the receipts were light. May pork closed 10c up. at $17.37: lard 2c higher, at $3.97Va, and ribs 2Hc up, at $8.83. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 30 cars: corn, 133 cars; oats, 115 cars; hogs, 41.000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows:

THE TRACING OF FREIGHT

A RAILWAY MAN EXPLAINS IT TO 3IEUCIIAXTS AXD MANCFACTURCRS. Exasperating Delays In DellTery, He Says, Are Often Dae to Error Jlnde by Shippers of Goods. Cleveland Leader. The wholesale merchants board entertained the manufacturers board of the Chamber of Commerce at luncheon yesterday. President W. II. Sigler, of the wholesale merchants board, introduced George W. Andrus, agent of the Lake Shore Railroad, who gave an interesting talk on the freight tracer. The address was as follows: "The popular idea of a tracer is that it has the effect of moving the freight more rapidly, which is not true. While the freight is moving on the track at the rate or twenty to thirty miles an hour the tracer is moving by passenger train at the rate of fifty miles an hour. If the tracer is sent at the time the freight is delivered it will reach the receiving station long before the freight, and when the freight arrives and has been delivered the agent notes the fact on the tracer and returns it to the forwarding station. "Some people request tracers sent the day they ship the goods. This shows that they believe the tracer will expedite the movement of the freight. When we receive such requests we do not comply with them as it is unnecessary. Ninetynine per cent, of all tracers sent are unnecessary and do no good except to let the shipper know that his goods have arrived and are delivered and he oftener gets this information from his consignee than he does from the railroad company. "During a congested condition of railroads our requests to have tracers sent are multiplied 300 per cent, and it would take a large force of clerks to send them all. We use our own judgment as lo sending tracers under these conditions, and it is as difficult to tell what tracers to send as it is what stock to buy, with this difference: if you knew the stock to buy you would not bother with tracers long. "In a blockade like we had last winter on the New York Central Railroad it was entirely useless to trace goods, and we had thousands of requests to do so. In the first place, they did not expedite the movement of the freight, and the agent at destination could not give the delivery simply because the freight had not arrived, and the New York Central people, if we sent the tracers, would not entertain them, as it was useless to do so. FOUND IN A DRAWER. "I remember in 1SS1, when the Lake Shore Railroad was blocked solid with freight from Cleveland to Chicago, on account of heavy snowstorms, I often asked the tracing clerk if he was keeping his tracers up, and he invariably told me 'yes I doubted It, of course, and one day I thought I would investigate, and I found every drawer and pigeon hole in his desk full of requests for tracers that had not been sent, and the young man thought his day had come and he would surely lose his job. I cared very little about it. excepting that he lied to me, and that I did not like, as it made no difference whether the tracers were sent or not, but the young man did not realize that .fact. I did not discharge him, which I would have done had it been a serious matter. "As an instance of that blockade there was a shipment of a carload of rubber goods to Chicago, and the owner was going to open a store. It had gone two weeks out of Cleveland and had not arrived at Chicago. The time was nearlng when he should open his store, and he came down to me in great distress and wanted me to find the car. I went to our car accountant and located the car at Fremont, stuck in the snow. I got it back to Cleveland and "delivered it to the Rig Four Railroad, and it went to Chicago via the Fort Wayne Railroad and arrived there in time for him to open his store. It is needless to say that we charged him no freight to Fremont and return. "When freight is blocked on the railroad the last freight, as a rule, is not run ahead of the older freight. It is delivered in the order of receipt. On that account there is no way of getting freight through ahead of old freight, unless it is perishable or live stock, which is always run past everything else. A HABIT OF SHIPPERS. "Shippers have a habit, which is natural, that when they get a letter from the consignee stating that his freight has not arrived, to rush to the telephone in a passion, jump on the railroad agent, and tell him the usual story about the railroad not being any faater than an ox team, and that he can get freight from New York to a point on the L. E. & W. quicker than he can from Cleveland, and after he ha relieved his mind he will ask you to trace the freight, and often it takes a good long time to gt the date of shipment, the consignee and the destination from such people. I would recommend that the use of the telephone for tracers should be discouraged. It should be done by letter, giving us the date of shipment, the consignee and destination and articles. Send this tracer by mail, as the telephone clerks are liable to forget to give the memorandum to the tracing clerk, and a letter is always certain and sure; a little old-fashioned and Plow, but very reliable, and I like that manner of doing business better. "We often have to return requests for tracers to get the necessary Information to send a tracer. Shippers neglect to give the date, and we cannot do anything without that information; and, often a wrong date is given, which makes a great deal of work for our tracing clerk and if he cannot locate It he cannot send the tracer, and he is obliged to return the request for correct information. "A doubt is often In the mind of the merchant whether railroads send tracers at all or not. If a request is made immediately after the shipment is made we do not eend the tracer. If it ordinarily takes five days for freight to go through to the station .shipped to, and the shipper makes a request to trace ten days afterward, we do send it, and if that tracer goes beyond our own line we only get back about half that we send. The forwarding agent, of course, gets the blame for that. We do not as a rule check up our tracers and ask for an answer, for the simple reason that It would take so large a force that it would be so expensive that the results would not pay for the cost. FOLLOWED THE FINISH. "As I stated before, the goods often get through to destination and are delivered, and the shipper then cares nothing about the tracer; but, if we get an urgent request, we do follow it up to a finish, and often telegraph two or three times to get information of the delivery of the freight. "There is one other point that I desire to call your attention to that would lessen delays to freight and help out the situation and that is. to show the name of consignee and destination on all packages in full, but in case shippers do not wish to show the name of the consignee, the destination should invariably be on the rackages. Then, should the shipment be loaded in error to Chicago Instead of Buffalo the agent at Chicago would take the package and send It direct to Buffalo, whereas If the destination was not on the package he would have to find out by correspondence what to do with the package from Cleveland, and that would delay the freight four or five days, and it would be delivered in that time if it was marked, as there is a rule now on all railroads that In case an agent is over a package to forward it to destination without waiting for orders from any one. This rule was adopted In recent years. , "I have a few samples of bills made by shippers in Cleveland. I do not show thee to exhibit the poor work of any shipper and I hope that the gentlemen present will' excuse me and not consider it a breach of confidence, as I cannot show the poor work without giving you the name of the hi. I per, and as a rule, all shippers sometimes mane puur cnpe. ana no one is exempt from neglect in this particular. These slips were taken from six days work. "You can readily ee that these bills are so poor that they cannot be read by gas light, and sometimes the writing Is so poor that they cannot be read at all Some merchants do not realize the importance of having good -penmen to do their writing, and to use good carbon paper, as that oftentimes avoids errors, and no man present could take these sILds and make

Here is a case in hand where a shipper Jumped on me for poor carbons presented to him on our prepaid bills." IN A MODERN OIL TOWN. The Grovrth of Beaumont, Tex., Since the Flrnt Well "Came In." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Beaumont has grown so rapidly and steadily within the past .few months that the stages of that growth have almost escaped public notice. The present boom is not like that which occurred when oil was first discovered. It is not a boom of speculation, but a boom which has material evidences behind it to vouch for its strength and reality. To properly understand the growth which Beaumont has attained at the present time It is necessary to revert to its condition at the time oil was first discovered and during the few months when" things were in such confusion that man turned not his attention to practical upbuilding. At the time oil was struck Beaumont was a thriving lumber town, being the center also of a large rice district. It had a few hotels of very moderate capacity, a barn of an opera house, in which the science acoustics had not been applied, and a goodly scattering of stores and dwellings. During the speculative boom a few more extempore saloons were erected, but the large influx of strangers had to content themselves mainly with the existing facilities, as buildings could not be erected In a day; and, therefore, hotels, boarding houses and dwellings were crowded to bursting, and bare tields under the sky became dotted with white tents, beneath which cots rented for a dollar a night. At that tempestuous time, when even Spindle Top Heights was a barren plain, relieved only by a few derricks, men were too busy calculating upon ever changing values to think about providing the prac-' tical facilities for handling oil or of erecting permanent homes for themselves. But to-day Spindle Top Heights and the city of Beaumont are on a more solid basis. At both places it is evident that things have settled down and that the progress is now strong and conservative. Spindle Top Heights Is . a little city in Itself. During the daytime it swarms with workmen and at night Its bright lights may be seen a mile away. The tanks, pipe lines, pumping stations and loading racks that have been laid and erected there in themselves have meant the expenditure of vast sums of money, an enormous increase of railroad receipts and the giving of employment to many hundreds of men. Theie men, together with the drillers and those engaged in moving the oil, bunk out, many of them, on the field; and as restaurants and eating houses have been put up there, they find nearly all the facilities for living in the immediate vicinity of their working place. In Beaumont itself the crowded condition as to hotels, dwelling houses and office quarters has been relieved within the past three months. The time when a man was glad to pay a big price for desk room under the trees has passed. The Threadneedle building in Pearl street is modeled after Its namesake in London, and though not as large, is a very capacious office building, and is occupied by railroad men, oil men, lawyers and doctors. The large modern brick building in which the opera house is domiciled will be rented out to Beaumont's Social Club and other firms and persons desiring offices. The opera house portion was finished first, but the rest of it is now about ready for occupancy. One of the old hotels has just about completed a large extension, and a new hotel has teen completed in Calder avenue. Another one is being built in that portion of the town near the Neches river. Brick store buildings are being erected in many places throughout the business section. The growth of the residential district at the north end of the town has been nothing short of marvelous. Three months ago North street was the boundary of the town In that section. Beyond it was a barren stretch of fields, fringed in the distance by woods. To-day this field has been neatly cut Into streets and is covered with frame dwelling houses, one. two and three stories high. The houses have sprung up like mushrooms and were rented at good figures before the foundations were laid All branches of business have participated in the prosperity. Although two new banks were organized recently, all of the banks have all of the business they can handle. Building, supply and hardware men have made fortunes, and there is no Industry, however small, that has not reaped profits from the large increase in business and population. The Two Canal Scheme. New York Evening Post. The rage for a Nicaraguan canal for the sake of Nicaragua rather than for that of the canal, seems to be subsiding at Washington In the Senate, if not in the House. The disappearance of the ClaytonBulwer treaty and the opening of the whole field to exploitation to our enterprise has given room for such concrete considerations as dollars and cents, time of construction, time of passage through the canal, cost of operation, harbor facilities! and other things which would be decisive if the work were to be undertaken by private capitalists. People are beginning to realize that our own isthmian canal commission showed a preference for the Panama route if the French canal and Its belongings could be obtained at as low a

They may have thought that the American people in the aggnvak would higgle over th small chance of a canal trade, as Sam Slick, the Individmi. did over a clock trade. They have discovered their mistake. They have fotinl that the canal question is two-thirds a matter of sentiment and only one-third a matter of business, and they have rcdincl their demands accordingly. It is reported that they are now willing to accept th sum that our isthmian commission was prepared to recommend to Congress as n'.i advantageous bargain. The question now is whether the stampede of Congress t the Nicaraguan scheme can be pn vr.u i long enough to enable the country to learn the facts about both routes. GROWTH OF POPULATION. Question of Food Snppllcs for the People of Europe. London Standard. Certain considerations arising from the great Increase of population in Europe ar.-i North America during the last century formed the subject of Sir Robert (iifien 'a address to the section of economics ar.i statistics of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. That increase has been enormous. Franco has grown from 1:3.0"X),000 to 40,000,000, Germany from 2o."'J to 55,000,000, Russia (partly from annexation) from 40.000.000 to 13o.000,000, the English population of the British empire from 15.000,000 to 55,000,00), and the United Statva from rather over 5.000.000 to nearly C0. Altogether, the growth is. in round numbers, from 170,000,000 to SlO.OiO.C"'', t the space which, at the beginning of the century, was occupied by one person nru: now accommodate three. The white ra.f, then, as a whole, need not trouble itself about either a yellow or a black prll; while in regard to Its several member?, as France now seems to be stationary, we have to concern ourselves, as far as numerical growth is concerned, only with Germany. Russia and the United States. Anxiety Is often felt In this country about our food supplies, and It Is true th.it of late years we have imported them more and more largely, but this Is alfo true to a greater or less degree of other Eurorn countries, and especially Germany. Suh a country might, then, be in a serious plight in caso of war, for It cannot be resumed that overland importation would t always possible, so it might suffer much as we should from a blockade cf our coasts. Sir Robert Giffen calls attention xo one point which Is often overlook! In predicting the evil results of the preset growth in population. New markets, no doubt, thus become necessary, but t3ie it must be remembered, are by no m ir.s the only outlet for new energies. To a great extent the additional people proviie for themselves. They procure for thrrreelves the major part of the requisite comforts and luxuries of life. The mnin exchanges of any country, as a rulr, :ro, and must be, at home, and thö fortiori trade, however Important, will always remain within limits and bear some projrtlon to the total exchanges of the co::r.try. But during the latter part of th r.tury, while the increase of population i is been universal, it has been In a ! rr.iing ratio even in the United States It h s declined from something like Z3 per cent, in the earlier part to only 21 per cnt. the last decade. It has also diminished : i England, though the figures have W y -:i all cases smaller. Such increase, it im;-' be remembered, depends not onlv on t? birth rate, but also on dlmlnutlo'n r-f t- -1 death rate. That Is brought out 1 v : represent almost stationary condition France: the birth rate, no doubt, is rat? r low, 213 per 10.000, but its death rate is This means a very slow growth ir.l.' i. but If the latter were reduced to the K: -t-lish rate, 1S3 per lO.OuO, verv substantia! increase would speedily resuit. All considerations show what Important .-'n-were suggested by the most corr.rr.or: statistics, and thus indicate the i-M cl a better statistical and economic cUuc.itin for our public men.
