the Kears:! 'oama have
a dl3p!acerv jfrom. This
shows the rsmarkV Jze of the pro
posed cruisers, tons, or naarly
2.000 tons heavier than the largest ves
sels we now have, though these are
battleships; heavier than the Illinois,
the Wisconsin, or than the new Maine,
Missouri or Ohio, all battleships under
construction. Future increase in the
size of battleships may be expected to
follow the construction of 13,5C0-ton
cruisers. The Brooklyn, our present
largest armored cruiser, has a displace
ment of only 9,215 tons.
Great speed and coal endurance and
heavy batteries are to be the strong
features of these cruisers. To attain
those objects there will be increased
horse power and improved machinery
and boilers while 10-inch guns, hither
to only used on battleships will be
mounted
The protected cruisers proposed will
be larger than any of their class pro
posed hitherto. They will be more
than 1,300 tons heavier than the Maine,
though that ill-fated vessel ranked as a
battleship. The new gunboats will be
of less than eight feet draught and
will be intended for service in the Phil
ippines where they will be of value not
only in war but after the war Is over.
This is the programme for 1900. The
building up of the new navy is to go
forward.
When Hernandez decamped from
Caracas Immediately after the victor
ious entry of Castro, the
POOR new dictator of Vene-VENE-
zuela, there was the
ZUELA ! prospect of a continued
revolution there. The
outlook, to be sure, seemed bright for
Castro to crush the new pretender a3
he had smashed the old government.
He looked like a sure winner and the
atmosphere was not as heavy then as
It might have been under ordinary
South American revolutionary circum
stances. But Hernandez has developed
unexpected strength. He has won a
battle ani occupied a city, that of Mar
acaibo, capital of the state of Julia,
and there Is no telling what the result
will be. The fickle public may turn to
him as it turned to Castro upon that
leader's first sign cf success. Hernan
dez is a familiar figure in Venezuelan
affairs, and, so peculiar are the doc
trines of Venezuelan politics, he stands
a good chance to draw support from
the Andrade party, just ousted by Cas
tro, notwithstanding the fact that An
drade had imprisoned Hernandez as an
enemy to his government. Castro re
leased Hernandez from prison at Cara
cas when he entered the capital in
triumph. Thus the new rebel leader
violated the logic of the situation at
the outset by turning upon his liber
ator, and a similar revulsion of senti
ment may make him the Idol of his
late enemies. Subsequent events of the
new insurrection will be watched with
perhaps more Interest than anxiety, f jr
the people of this country have come
to take the South American revolution
too much for granted to be concerned
in such affairs save as spectacles of an
unrest which do no material harm be
yond the confines of the countries in
volved. In the early part of 188) then; were
60,873 telephones under rental in this
SOME country. In the later
' TELEPHONE part of 18D8 there
. FIGURES. were 1,124,846. The
Increase has varied from 4.46S a year to
nearly 130,000. The total increase in
the period Indicated has been nearly
1,100,000. The greatest increase was in
the past year. The telephone exchanges
have meanwhile increased from 408 to

ovsr 2,100. There are nearly 1.200,000
miles of wire in use in the telephone
service. In 1883, there were 1,223 miles
of wire under ground. This year there
are 35S.1S4. In lh&5. one per cent of
the exchange wires were underground.
Now about fifty per cent, are under. It
is estimated that the total number of
connections made between points in
the same exchanges on the last day of
189S was 3,823,070. Multiply that little
figure by 3C5, and take a sense of the
extent of telephone talk in the country.
Eesides this, about 30,600,000 extra terri
torial messages were sent in 1S93 be
tween towns. The average number of
calls at each station in the country is
8 1-5 a day. All the companies operat
ing under the Bell patents had, up to
the close of 183S. expended $111,159,302
for construction and real estate. These
figures suggest somewhat the dimen
sions the telephone business has al
ready acquired; and it is said to be
growing now more rapidly than ever
before.
New York has quit worrying about
the question of beer and is discussing
a cargo of doubtful coffee. This is a
pleasant assurance that the metropolis
does not confine itself to one beverage.
Some of the economical burghjers
may feel inclined to resent the lavish
and ineffectual manner In which Gen
eral Joubert has been burning amuni
tion. Richard Croker insists that his .opin-
tha.ll have weight In determining
ther David B. Hill is a practical
king democrat or not.

NO CREEPING HERE.
Of course, Tom Waller, is not one of
those gold democrats who are creeping
back to the temple of the silver calf
by the postern of anti-imperialism. He
tells a Times reporter that "Just so
sure as the democratic national con
vention declares for 16 to 1, just so
sure will Connecticut's electoral vote
go to the republican candidate next
year." He says that the "people in
Connecticut are not bothering them
selves much about it. but there are
very few democrats in that state who
would consent for a moment to have
the United States troops evacuate the
Philippines." He .believes that no
Connecticut democrat who voted
against free silver In 1896 will vote for
it in 1900. Tom Waller is incorrigibly
courageous and straightforward. He
doesn't hanker for fatted calf or silver
calf. He will come back to the demo
cratic party when it comes back to
I democratic principles and not a second
sooner. N. Y. Sun.
THE NAIVE EOEP. DISPATCHES.
Some Funny Littl Touches an Old
Newspaper Man Discovered.
"I am extracting a good deal of
amusement from the South African
war cablegrams," remarked an old
newspaper man the other evening.
"Take that affair of the armored train
near Estcourt, for Instance the official
narrative contained some delicious
touches. It told how 'Sergeant Todd'
constructed a large barricade of boul
ders in front of Captain Wylle, who
had been wounded, 'and then,' it add
ed, with charming naivete, 'the ser
geant lay down beside the officer to
cheer him up.' Isn't that delightful?
I can picture Sergeant Todd, who is
no doubt a plump warrior, with pop
eyes and a double chin, hugging that
barricade of boulders while he cheered
up his despondent superior. Todd has
set an admirable example to the Brit
ish officers who were recently re
proached for reckless exposure during
battle. If they will henceforth devote
themselves in cheering each other up
a la Todd instead of making cigarettes
under fire, the mortality will be re
duced 100 per" cent. Another incident
In the Estcourt story, which I found
very entertaining, related to 'an old
Blackwatch veteran named Crow.'
Crow, it seems, had shown conspicuous
courage in clearing away the wrecked
trucks, whereupon 'Lieutenant Wins
ton Churchill, amid the hail of bullets,
turned to him and shook his hand, call
ing him a brave old man." Of course,
that was very nice of the lieutenant,
who, as you know, is a boy of 19, or
thereabouts, and sen of the late Lord
Randy,' and I dare say, the eld soldier
touched his helmet and said, "Thankee,
sir,' in a voice choked with emotion.
An English friend of mine is very en
thusiastic over the episode. 'It was so
doocid plucky of young Churchill.' he
says, 'to stand there shaking the old
chap's hand and congratulating him on
his courage, while the bullets were fly
ing all around them.' 'Sure,' rail I.
'and equally plucky of Mr. Crow to
stand there being congratulated. If a
man were to stop rr.e amid a hail of
bullets to offer me the assurances of his
distinguished consideration, I would
Instantly plead a previous engage
ment.' Anybody who says that the war
news 13 diAll and uninteresting uov.a-

days, don't appreciate good things
when he sees 'em." New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
THE CONGO CANNIBALS.
Women Do the Cooking, But Cannot
Attend the Feasts.
An English traveler, B. C. Do TTo'f,
recently visited a curious tribe in the
Congo, in the district of the Oubang'nl,
the N'Sakkaras, whose chief is the fa
mous Bangasson, to whom the Bel
gians have given the title of sultan.
The N'Sakkaras are scattered along
the territories between the Koto and
the Bali, on the right bank of the
Oubanghi.
He tells this interesting story about
them: "We were not abie to learn,
even approximately, the number of
these N'Sakkaras, but from the infor
mation we gathered there must be
more than 23,000, most of thsm women,
owing to the slave trade and the con
stant sale of male adults and boys.
With the exception of hunting, the men
leave all manual labor for the women,
who, though looked upon as slaves,
usually are well (treated. The women
cultivate the maize fields and sweet
potato plantations and make the tribe's
favorite drink, a kind of beer, out of
the eleusme and sorgho, two varieties
of native hops.
"All the tribe's enemies killed in bat
tle, or members of their own-iribe be
headed by order of the sultan, invari
ably are eaten. The women usually
are not allowed to be present at thes?
cannibal feasts, though they Invariably
do the cooking. The N'Sakkaras have
a great partiality for the flesh of wo
men and children, which is partaken of
only on solemn occasions, such as the
marriage of a son or daughter of a
chief or after the conclusion of a treaty
of peace with a powerful neighboilng
tribe.
"All the N'Sakkaras whom we saw
were peaceable and amiable, with none
of the exterior characteristics which
popularly are supposed to belong to
cannibals. Unlike most other Congo
lese tribes, the N'Sakkaras have a
rudimentary form of organized govern
ment, with an army under the corn
man! of a single chief, the Sultan
Hangasson. All the able bodied un
married men are enrolled in the sul
tan's army. The elite of this army,
300 in number, form Bangasron's body
guard." Kansas City Journal.
DICKENS ON DEWEY'S CASE.
This is what Dickens has to say on
the Dewey case in his "American
Notes," written in 18!2: ' You carry,
says the stranger, thi3 Jea'ousy and
distrust into every transaction of pub
11s life. By repelling worthy men from
your legislative assemblies, it has bred
up a class cf candidates for the suf
frage, who in their every act, disgrace
your institutions and your people's
choice. It has rendered you so fickle
and so given to charge that your in
constancy has passed into a proverb;
for you no sooner set up an idol, firm
ly, than you are sure to pull it down
and dash It into fragments; and thi3
because directly you reward a bene
factor, or a public servant you distrust
him merely because he Is rewarded;
and, immediately apply yoursMf to find
out either that you have been too
bountiful in your acknowledgements
or he remiss in his deserts. Any man
who attains a high place among you
from the president downwards may
date his downfall from that moment."
CALUMNY.
The naval hero was wounded to the
quick by this latest ea'umny.
"It was not enough to accuse me of
having hidden behind the conning
tower during the battle!" he exclaimed,
with emotion. "They must needs fur
thermore insinuate that I have noth
ing tattooed on my arm!"
Then he cursed the day of his being
beguiled into politics. Detroit Journal.
MORE THAN LIKELY.
Mr. Bryan may be spending a little
time in the south just fcr the rest that
comes from being in a state where the
democratic majority does not have to
be watched the year round to keep H
from evaporating. Chicago Record.

"Fast horses, I supoose."
"Slow, I believe." Detroit Journal.
A SKY FANCY.
Oh, the moon's a mighty golf ball.
By the stroke of Titan hurled;
From off the far horizon's "tee"
'Tis driven 'round the world.
And Venus looks in wonder.
And the war-god redly blinks
As the big white ball goe3 sailing high
Along the starry links.
It soars o'er cloudy bunkers
That seek its flight to .stay.
And in its path it creases swift
The misty Milky Way.
And when it has completed
Its course across the sky
On wonder hilltop of the west
It finds its distant "lie."
Where waits a giant player
Who "lofts" with steady aim.
And so without a pause goes on
The everlasting game.
