They figure it at 884,500,- 000 feet, board measure.

It is 500 miles long, and gives abundant passenger and freight accommoda- tion to the whole of the eastern part of the island. The prospects of the future prosperity of the Cu- bans are, says Sir William, of the William, of the brightest. The Government, he adds, which start- ed with an empty treasury, is a great success, and to -day reports a surplus of $1,500,000. SirWilliam Van Horne and his associates built the Cuban railway without a cent of subsidy. They even bought their right of way across the island. If the Cubans had subsidized this railway at the same rate as we sub- sidized the C. P. R., their treasury would now be an empty one, and they would 'have a heavy debt upon their shoulders. -[Weekly Sun. In the Old KENT BLOCK You Can Find Lots of Suitable Gifts.

DULMAQI3 HAVE LEAN YEARS BEGUN ? (Toronto World.) Mr. Henry Clews, the New York financier, considers that without doubt the summit ofthe prosperity wave in the United States has been passed and that a partial reaction has begun. Declining profits are becoming more numerous and the volume of business when quantities are used for comparisons is not so gratifying. In stooks prices have undergone a very remarkable de- cline compared with the highest of the last few years, many of the ac- tive railways' stocks showing losses of ten to twenty points, and some have declined twenty or thirty points more. Industrials show even greater losses. The money situa- tion has improved, call money is easier and bank reserves are rising as a. result of the forced contraction in loans, and of the fact that scant consideration is now given to pro- jects that would have been eagerly taken up two months ago. Im- mense sums are still locked up in syndicate operations, and it is said to be fully realized that the coun- try has escaped a serious crisis through nothing but good luck, or, in other words, through a good harvest. The situation is made more complex by threatened labor troubles. Labor, says Mr. Clews, has already received many conces- sions in shorter hours and higher wages during the last few years, and a much larger share of corpor- ation earnings has gone to labor in making improvements than to stockholders in the form of increas- ed dividends, We can believe that the disastrous effects of the late coal strike have not been fully felt, and that the consequences of high- priced fuel will shortly be seen in diminished profits to the producer and higher prices to the consumer of manufactured goods. Mr. Clews thinks that some very valuable les- sons in economics are being learned just now in the costly school of ex- perience. THE REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA The action of Britain and Ger- many to enforce their claims on Venezuela, brings this little Re- public into special notice, and the following information will be time- ly :- Perhaps in the world's history no country has seen so many revo- lutions as Venezuela. During a life of seventy years that country has had over 100 revolutions and many exterior wars. Venezuela, situated as it is, on the north coast of South America, trades to a great extent with the West Indies, exporting mainly cocoa, timber, cattle and hides. Compulsory education is in a de- cidedly backward state. There is a standing army of nearly 4,000 men, supported in time of need by the national mili- tia, consisting of 60,000 all told. Caracas, the capital, and La Guayra, the chief seaport, are con- nected by a railway, which is said to be a marvel of engineering skill. Throughout an area of 53,000 square miles, at present only 500 miles of railway are in a working condition, • The last dispute between Vene- zuela and Great Britain was over the boundary line between that country and British Guiana,which, however, was settled by the award of the arbitration tribunal, deliver- ed in October, 1800. Being a Republic, Venezuela's natural ruler is a J?resIclent, -tvho is elected for two years by the Con- gress, consisting of two houses, the Senate and the 'l'ouse of Represen- tatives. The former consists of 24 members, elected by the Legisla- tures of each State, while the latter consists of 52 members, elected di- rectly, one member to every 35,000 of population.
