the Repeal Of the Test Oath and Elec-

Filibuster.
tsoecial to the Democrat
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The House, in night
session, Is just about to reach the considera-
tion of that part of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill on which
amendments repeating the test oath and cleo
tion laws will be offered. The Radicals have
indicated their determination to admit the re-
peal of the test oath, and then flibuster on
the repeal of the election law. LII they fill
buster by keeping their seats and refusing to
VOTE there will not be Democrats enough In
the House tonight to make quorum and 80
1t is probable that after formally testing the
matter the House will adjourn.
Blackburn, Southard and other leading
spirits in the movement to repeal the election
law express confidence that the Democrats In
the House will stand together, but some OF
our own Representatives are less sanguine,
even to the extent of being anxious and ap-
prehensive.
Every man in our delegation Is on deck,
though Gibson is hardly able to be out OF bed.
They are working night and day to impress
their colleagues with the devilment being
wrought among their constituents under this
law.
1t Is safe to predict that there will be at
least two days filibustering by the Radicals
on the repeal Of the election law.

Proposed Telegraph Routes to Capetown.

LONDON, Feb. 18.-There are now in con-
temptation two projects for establishing tele-
graphic communication between England
and Cape Colony, both inspired by the avowed
willingness of the government to subsidize
such enterprise. One of the proposed routes
is from Alden to Zanzibar and thence to Maui
retaus and Natal. A cable from Cape De-
verde and thence to st. Helena and Capetown
is the other project. The laying Of a land
line is also strongly urged. There Is now
and Gondokora, in Egypt From Gondokora
to Petronia, In Transvaal, Is only 1000 miles,
and there is belief that it would be very
difficult to carry telegraphic line through
this country. The line would GO through the
Albert and Victoria, Mama and Tanganzika
and Wyassa. regions. The construction of
the line would open up the country and be a
great step toward the civilization of Africa.
Inc project is strongly urged in Influential
quarters.
