CASTIIO'S AILMENT.
President Castro ought to put up the
plea that ha la wilting to pay his debta,
hut that the unclnartaala germa have
got hlir. and won't lot him atlr around
and gat up tha money. That ought to
"go" with even'thoae rip-snorting Car
man naval men, provided they are
keeping themeelveg abreaat with the
latent dlacoverlea. Thera la little cauaa
to doubt that Dr. Stllaa will aend, on
dtmand, to Caatro, a copy of the cir
cular which ha la preparing for distri
bution In tho Southern atatas giving
full directions how to Hah for tho hook
worm. In tha “aand district*’’ of Ven-
esuela wo are quite aura these worms
grow as large as a cable of a ship and
cln ba harpooned easily. '
A SERIOUS MATTER.
A special dispatch from Panama to
tho Now York Herald la instructive as
well as Intereating. It statea that there
la Intonae excitement In Colombia over
the* Venesuotan situation. Bitter feel
ing prevails against the “unjustifiable
aggression’’ of the Anglo-German allt-
anoa, while tha unexpected Indifference
of the United States la "galling." The
Colombians cay they were tilled with
deep respect for tho' power of tho
United Statee by the action of Praal-
dent Cleveland In 1IM, but now they
and other Spanlth-Amarlcana have re
versed their opinion and hancaforth wilt
expect tha United States to go to the
Anglo-Oerman alliance for permission
to sign a canal treaty.
They are also quaking In their boots
for fear tha said alliance will demand,
a reckoning with thorn next for ’’hun
dreds of Oerman nnd (British claims."
Tha Improaelon la conveyed that there
Is a state of almllar npprehenelon In
other Latln-Amerlcan republics and
from tha samt cause. The Monroe doc
trine was very simple In Its flrat an
nouneement, but It haa been variously
Interpreted, and tt Is now evldoitt that
Latln-Amerlcan countries have even
looked upon It as a shield between them
and thatr Just obligations. They seem
to have acted on tho principle that
they might do whatover they choee and
then dodge behind their powerful “ale
ter republic.”
It Is such action on tho part of our
disreputable little "alatere” that makes
th* maintenance of tho Monroe doc
trine a serious matter. It la easy
enough to forbid wars of conquest and
territorial aggression In this hemis
phere on the part of European powers,
but when as a result of the misbe
havior of our proteges and an appeal
to our aenae of Juetlce we permit the
forcible collection of debts, the situa
tion la no longer a simple but a com
plex and evtn perilous one. (Tuns have
been fired, blood shad, and prop:rty
destroyed, and yet there seems to ba
no way to collect the claims agal'V't
Vonesuela except by the occupation of
that country by the alllea perhaps for
several years, or through a court of
arbitration whose decree la enforced
by tha United Htstes.
If Oarmany’s colonising ambition and
earth-hunger were as satiated as Eng
land’s la (or ought to be), the preeent
cate and others to follow would be leas
serious. As tt la, tha quaking knees In
Latln-Amorlca have kept time to un
easy pulsations tn tha United mates
lest that earth-hunger should load Oar-
many (dragging England after her) to
n point whence pride would parsuadt
her not to recedo until she had gone to
war with tho United states, for prob
ably Gerir my feels that aha haa aa
much right to dominate tn South Amer
ica aa haa tha United States, and that
she haa her eya on a atrip of territory,
or at tha least an Island, there can be
H’tlt doubt After at! It la a nutation of
might rather than of right
But for tha delicate situation of the
past few days wa have tha naughtiest
of our naughty little "alitera" to thank.
If tt war* merely a question of protect
ing them, our govtrnmtnt would bo
Justified In cutting them adrift. But tt
la also, though mors remotely, a ques
tion of aelf-protecUon. and tha Ameri
can people stand Arm for tho mainten
ance of tha Monroe doctrine. It would
be eulcbtel for any American political
r*ity to fall to do likewise.
Senator Pritchard now soya ha will
support sny effort to reduce the repre
sentation of the Southern states In the
national republican convention accord
ing to the vote polled, and Senator
Quay says to ths gentleman from North
Carolina, "I am with you.” So It looks
aa If there la tthely to b- considerable
walling tn certain quarters over a van
ished opportunity to sell out to the
highest bidder.
SENATOR MORGAVS PLAN.
Senator Morgan and T. Thomas For
tune occupy the earns platform »o far
as the question of colonising American
negror* In.the Philippines la concerned.
The latter la said to have been secretly
commissioned by President Roosevelt
to go to the Philippines and look over
the ground with the colonization Idea
In view, but Fortune, whom the Wash
ington Post describes as "a profession
al negro," haa talked a good deal on
the eye of his secret errand.
Aa for Senator Morgan, It la stated
that he haa been urging the scheme
upon the war department and consult
ed Governor Taft. "In the course of
time,” says a Washington correspon
dent. "Mr. Morgan believes, the project
will be far enough advanced for legis
lation. Ha thinks that millions of’ne
groes will go to the Philippines In case
the way la opened to them, and that
this will go far toward settling the race
problem. His Idea is to Incorporate
steamship transportation companies for
them, and to give them homesteads of
about twenty acres each, with the
beat business advantages which can be
secured. This plan, unlike the old
scheme for sending them to Liberia,
would not deprive them of their citi
zenship or their protection under the
American nag.”
Wa should be glad to see Joint fic
tion and Interest on the part of the
prominent men of the two races in this
matter of colonisation. There is cer
tainly a congestion In the South that
calls for relief, and any means of In
ducing large numbers of tho negroes to
emigrate and of more evenly distribut
ing the remainder throughout the Unit
ed States should be welcomed.
It la Idle to contend, as T. Thomas
Fortune does, that there would be no
friction to apeak of between Filipinos
and American negroes. But there woul!
be Just aa much If sot more friction
between Filipinos end white Ameri
cans. If the Islands are held they are
bound to receive many colonies front
this country In tha course of time, and
an Invasion of American negroes Is so
more than the wiser Filipinos are apt
to expect. There would be trouble from
time lo time no doubt, but In such a
struggle American negro colonists
ought to ba able to take care of them
selves.
There are some Southern editors,
notes tha Washington Post, who are
"not particularly well pleated over the
recent Joint appearance of Grover
and Booker," referring to the meeting
In Philadelphia In tho Interest of an
Industrial school for Northern negroes
over which ex-Pre*ldent Cleveland pre
sided and at which tha Tuakagea edu
cator spoke. Perhaps the displeased
Southern editors, If there are any, may
bo Intereatod to know that In tha asms

practically no nary. For the lort -ugh-
teen months the country ha* "been In
the throes of a civil war the names ot
which had been slumbering for nearly
two yeare previous.
Cities.—Among the chief cities are
Bogota, the capital (120,000 inhabit
ants), Medellin ((0,000), Cauegena, the
chief seaport (fO,000), Panama (30.000).
Papayan (10,000), Aaplnwoll or Colon
(2,000), Bar.-inqullla ((0.000), Bucara-
manga (20 000). Socorro (20,000), Sonaon
(16.000), Iplalcs (11.000), and chlquln-
qulra (13,000), and many whose popu
lation range form 10,000 down to 1,0«0.
P.eiourcee.—It lx distinctly a mineral
country. The government owns emer
ald mines, pearl and coral fisheries, as
phalt deposits and coal mines; the lat
ter at flan Jorge are operated by the
government, but the others arc leaaed
to companies for working. The gold and
allver output for 1900 was 31.l9t,90O and
12.110,200 respectively. Other deposits
ere platinum, copper, lead, mercury,
antimony, limestone, potash, soda,
magnesia, slum, anil, and the various
precious metals and stones.
Finances.—Sliver Is the monetary
standard, but paper to the basis of all
transactions; at present the ratio to
1(6 paper to $1 allver, the constant rev
olution causing Inflation and depreda
tion. There Is a national debt of 915,-
209,000 at 3 and 6 per cent. Interest:
two-thirds of this Is due English
bondholder*, and tha remainder to In
ternal. The revenue, derived chiefly
from customs, was (1901-02) 220.361,100
(national currency); the expenditures
used principally In the departments ot
rtoance. wur and Justice, waa 123,911,-
Consulates.—The United States haa
established consulates at Barralqullla.
Colon. Bogota, Cartegena, Medellin and
Panama.
Trade.—This should be an excellent
market for American coUpn goods; In
1900 Great Britain sold cotton piece
goods valued at 2335,850 and linen
goods 260,000. In 1900 the country's ex
port* were S19.73S.736 (Oliver) and the
imports 211.3(6,028. In 1901 the trade
with the United States was exports 23,-
230,652 and Imports 23.1(2.062. The chief
exports are gold, silver and the various
minerals, coffee, cocoa, cattle, sugar,
tobacco, rubber, hide*, cabinet woods.
The Imports were manufactured Iron
and steel of all descriptions, cotton
goods, agricultural and manufacturing
machinery, railway and ship equip
ment#.
Communication.—There are 376 mile*
of railway In operation, and other lines
projected, traversing eight of the nine
department*. There ars 6,600 miles of
telegraph. Interior co’mmerce Is car
ried on largely by the rivers and by ox
certs snd mule trains over the worst
of roads. Tha earnings of the Panama
Railroad and Steamship Company tn
1900 were 22,656,196. a great gain over
previous years. Ther* Is a wharf at
La Baco harbor capable of docking
vesaela of 1.600 ton* burden, the water
being 20 feet 6 Inches
Industrie*.—The soli to very fertile,
but lack of mean* of transportation
and communication make progress dif
ficult. Manufactures scarcely exist:
agriculture, grazing and mining are
the principal Industries. Coffee Is large
ly cultivated, and cattle-raising Is ex-
tenelve. The estimated head of cattle
Is 3,165,000 and 3,427,600 goats, sheep and
swine. Th* rubber production from the
vast forest* amount* to 1,000,000 pound*
a year, but It I* too far from available
transportation to meke It profitable.
Ther* are three blast furnaces In the
republic.
Native Animals and Birds.—Among
the mammalia native to the country
are jaguars tapirs, deer, wild hng*.
mnnkeye, ant-eaters, bear* and lla
ma*. Birds and Ineects are especially
numerous, and beautiful, so that Co
lombia haa been called "the Paradise
or naturalists."
Religion and Education.—The Ro
man Catholic la ths etate religion, but
*11 others are tolerated. In literature
and aclentllle culture tt ranks flrat of
the flonth American republics. Educa
tion la gratuitous but not Compulsory.
There are about t.900 schools with 111,-
000 pupils; a national Institute, nation
al school of music, with 160 students, a
school of arte and trade*, and a na
tional university with 1.600 students.

KING EDWARD TALKS
TO HIS PARLIAMENT
fie Stands by tbe Action of Ills Gov
ernment With Regard to Venezuela
LONDON, Dec. 12.—Parliament was
prorogued thto afternoon by royal
commission. Only a score of members
ot the house of commons were present
when Black Rod aummoned the lower
house to the house of lords to hear the
king’s speech, which wa* an unusually
lengty recapitulation of p.ubllc events
since January, Including thd action ta
ken In connection with Venezuela, re
garding which the speech said:
"1 regret that the constant com
plaints which my government found It
necessary to address to the govern
ment of Venezuela In regard to unjus
tifiable and arbitrary acts against
British subjects and property during
the last two years have bean persist
ently disregarded and that It has be
come neceeeary for my government,
acting in concert with that of his Im
perial majesty, the German emperor,
which also has serious causes for com
plaint agalnat the republic to Insist on
measure* of redress.”
The speech refer# to the conclusion
of the South African war and adds:
"There seems to be every reason to
hope that material prosperity greater
than any th* Transvaal and Orange
River colonies hove yet experienced,
may yet visit these regions and that
all sections of the population may live
together In friendship for each other
and loyalty to the crown."
Parliament was prorogued until Feb

oped today that R. C. Whayne, a Lou
isville business man. who was found
dead last night In the vicinity of Jacob
Park, with a gunshot wound In his
breaat, tarried Insurance on hit life of
f3(0,(MK>. and had applications pending
for 260,000 more.
The policies were distributed as fol

ern Mutual Life, 25.000.
Mr. Whayne had applied for a pol
icy of 225.000 with the Manhattan Com
pany, and the policy waa to be toauod
December 22. Another application had
been made to the Mutual ot Vermont
for an equal amount, and this policy
was to be dated December 21.
It waa upon th* fnct that Mr. Whayne
carried such large life Insurance, and

SAVANNAH. Ga„ Dec. 18.—The local
druggists ate to fight the 2600 tax the
city council proposes to put on retail
dealers of coca cola. They have peti
tioned council to give them a hearing
before they take final notion. One uf
the druggists said this morning that It
was absurd to tax coca cola and let anjr
one of a hundred drugs that are Inju
rious to the human system go un
taxed.
"Take, for Inatance, aome patent med
icines,” said this druggists. “They are
nothing In the world but a mild con
coction of chiap Itqu’r and a few in
consequential drugs. They are sold
everywhere, and the number of people
who get to feeling good from th* ef
fect* of taking them Is on the Increase
all tbe time. Coca cola, on the other
hand, is harmless, notwithstanding the
statement ot legislators to the con'
trary.”

council in caucus was held tonight be

waa decided not to Impose the tax.
GEN. GEORGE MOORMAN.

gia’s representatives In congress to
use their Influence with the general
government and secure If possible the
