472 freight cars , as compared with 31- ,
889 engines , 14,934 pasenger cars , and

and unfunded debt is $12.32G,491,52i ;

Theip is no surer proof of the national

No since the days when , in the Ian
guajib of Pitt , Bonaparte was making
evert map of Europe obsolete befoiv
the ink was dry upon it , having thj
cartckraphers been so busy as they
havejbeen in the past few years. As
a retult of the Spanish-American war
of 1SS | ) Spain lost all her territory on
the 4merican continent , and the big
gest ( > art of that in the neighborhood
of Asja , while , as a consequence of this
loss , tehe sold most of the rest of it
to Germany soon afterward. The Sa-
moan group was divided up between
the United States , England and Ger
many around the same time , and then
a new deal was made between the two
latter countries. As a result of the
Boer war of 1899-1902 the republics of
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State have become British territory.
And now it is understood that Portu
gal has sold her provinces in East
Africa , and that they have been di
vided between England and Germany ,
each getting the section nearest its
own previous territory. In this Avay
England secures possession of the Del-
agoa Bay district , with the fine harbor
at that point , which she needs now
that she has become the proprietor of
the two little Boer states. Germany ,
which began its colonial ventures only
a little over a score of years ago , has a
new addition to its already large co
lonial area , while England has added
to her holdings in the southern part of
Africa , and has narrowed the gap on
the east coast of that continent be
tween British East Africa and the
northern line of England's territory ,
which will now be at the Zambesi.
Over all the territory between the
Transvaal and Matebeleland and the
coast the British flag now goes up.
Not only has the whole of the Dark
Continent beenvparceled out between
European countries , but it is practically
all subject , In patches , to the great
nations of England , France , Germany
and Italy , except the neutral Congo
Free State , which Is under the sover
eignty of Belgium's King. Spain has
very little of it , Portugal has virtual
ly retired from Africa , and Turkey ,
which has lost Egypt for England
will never give it up has only a small
patch of it which she can call her own.
Most of the parcelling of Africa has
been done in the past twenty years ,
and practically all of It has been ac
complished peaceably. In an earlier
age , even in the first half of the nine
teenth century , this dividing up of a
continent would have brought war
which would have Involved many na
tlons and have cost tens of thousands
of lives. Great advances have been
made in the manners and morals of
the larger countries since the day
when the rivalries of France , Spain
and England on the American conti
nent precipitated conflicts which shook
the world.
Simple Methods.
The young ladies of a fashionable
school were one day told that they
must review a course in arithmetic ,
"i don't see any sense In It , " said one
haughty maiden. "I don't know how
to subtract , and I don't know' how to
multiply , but I probably never shall
need to. "
"Then you can't even buy a yard
of ribbon and be sure you have the
correct change , " said the teacher.
"Yes , indeed ! ' ' was the reply. "I
ilways know how to manage that. I
ive the clerk a large bill , and he
gives me something back. "
A similar simplicity of method is
acted by the New York Evening Post
in an answer from an examination pa
per.
per.The
The candidate had applied for an
ippointment as patrolman , and was
isked , "If you were in the vicinity of
Jie general postoffice , and wished to
jo to the Zoological Garden in the
Bronx , how would you set about mak
s
ing the trip ? "
"I should ask a policeman , " was the
inswer , written apparently in pood *
'aith.
Sound Reasoning.
It has been said of the Southern
larky that he has not always a clear
dea as to property rights , but on some
oints it appears that he is not in the
east hazy.
An old colored man in the days "befo'
le wah" was given one of his master's
ast-off hats , which he wore with great

SHIPS SINK IN COLLISION
Coal-laden Schooners go Down In Massachu
setts Bay Ten SaLors Drowned.
Boston , Mass. , Dec. 23. Tbe Man-
ahasset arrived at 2:30 : o'clock thli
morning with ten of the survivors of
the crewf the schooners Frank A.
Palmer and Louise B. Crary , which
were in collision in Massachusetts
bay on Wednesday. Ten men ol
both vessels weie drowned in the
collision , the balance , fitfeen , taking
to one boat. Three subsequently
went insane and jumped , overboard ,
two died from exposure and two
went insane after getting ashore.
Both captains were saved.
Tne Louise B. Crary was a five
masted schooner. They were both
coal laden , bound for Boston. At 8
o clock a. m. yesterday when the
Manahassett was forty-live miles ofl
Highland liIit. . the lookout sighted
a small boat witn nen who were
making signals of distress. The Man-
abassett chmged : her course and bore
down on the craft , which proved t
be the boat which had been lanuched
from the Crary. Only ten of the
men aboard were alive and they were
almost helpless as a result of their ex-
pos.ire to the rigorous weather. Sat
urday nigbc one man became crazed
by his sufferings and shouting at the
top of his voice that the police were
after him , he jumped overboird and
disappeared. Four other members of
the little boat's company died from
exhaustion and the exposure to which
they had been subjected.
All the survivors were frost bitten
and some of them will probably have
to have their feet and bands ampu
tated.
Tbe Manahassett came Into the har
bor early this morning snowing sig
nals for assistance and by the time
she arrived at the wharf ambulances
were ready to convey the sailors to a
hospital. Only six of the men could
be removed however. The other four
were in such condition that it wis
deemed impossible thev could sur
vive being taken from the vessel.
Two of the men on the Manahas
sett are Captain W. H. Potter of the
Crary and Captain Rawling of the
Palmer. The other two men are
sailors , both of whom are raving
maniacs.
The men taken to the hospital
uere not only in a critical condition
physically , but they wne in surh a
mental plight that nothing could be
learned from them as to their exper
ience. Little by little , however , the
crew of the Manahassett had learned
something of the hardships of tbe
shipwrecked men.
It appears that the collision oc
curred at 7:30 : last Wednesday night
oil Cape Ann. The night was clear ,
but a stiff gale was blowing and tbe
sea was running high. The members
of the Palmer's crew claimed that
the Crary was on the wrong trac.
and in attempting to cross the Palm
er's bow , bit her on the bow , cutting
her nose square off and entangling
both vessels in the reck. Tbe an
chor and bowsprit of the Palmer sank
away from tbe wreck , while tbe an
chor of the Crary was entangled in
the rigging of the Palmer and bn.ke
off the foremast. The vessel began
to fill and sank in a few minu'es. '
The Palmer's men managed to low
er a boat. There was no time i > pro
cure provisions or additional cloth
ing. As the men cleared the wreck
they saw theCrary's men in the same
plight as they had been and made
room for as many as could reach the
boat. Fifteen souls were In the
small craft when it finally pulled
away , both captains being among
those who thus escaped. A short
time after tbe beat left both scho n-
ers went down. Six men perished
when the vessels sank. For the sur
vivors a battle which lasted three
days and four nights bad begun.
One-third of tbe number succumbed
in the fight and of those who finally
reached shore none was able to relate
what they had escaped.
The Crary was a comparatively new
vessel She was built at Bath. Me. , c
in 1900 , and was one of the finest
five-masters on the coast. Her cargo
consisted of 3.702 tons of titpminous
coal , consigned to this port The
vessel was only partially insured , but
h er cargo was fully covered.
Tbe Frank A. Palmer was tbe
largest four masted schooner evi r
constructed. She was built at Bath
in 1897 and was sold to J. S. Winslow
& Co. of Portland , Me She sailed |
from Newport News ( m December 4 ,
witli 4,700 tons of coal for Boston.
Of he twenty-five men carried by
both vessels , ten composed the crew *
of tbe Palme' * and eleven that oi tbe i
Crary.
Captain Potter revived later in tbe
day and was removed to a hospital ,
lie said that the Crary was to blame
for tbe collision , Mate Smith having
dis'ibeyed orders in not reporting tbe
nearness of tbe Palmer.
