AMERICAN CONSULAR REPORTS ON
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF TELE-
GRAPH LINES.
A sketch showing the great develop
ment Of the telegraph in Great Britain
since it passed under government con-
troll, In 1870, as result of Gladstone s
efforts,is given in report to the state
department from United States Con-
sular Clerk Martin at Southampton.
He shows that all Of the separate COM
panies lines were taken by the govern
ment In 1870 for 6 II 900, 900 pounds,
and that in the year succeeding the
government built $1,000 miles OF wire
to connect the various systems.
the total number of kilograms
handled weekly by all offices was esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000, in
1883 the total exceeded 1,OO0, 600, and
the number sent annually exceeded
10000, 900. In 1889 the English press
service was q, 600, 900. now It amounts
to 600, OOO, 600 words, 36 times more
than formerly. The present press rate
Is absurdly small com pared with the
tariff prior to 1870, and in place of
sending Is words per minute one way
the wires now carry 500 words min
ute, aud six messages are sent stimuli
taneouSly on one wire.
The service is performed with per-
feet punctuality, the average time OF
transmissionaO of message being about
seven or nine minutes, as against two
or three hours in 1870. The rate Is II
cents for 10 words, paid by stamps. 1t

Coote's idea Is not supported by the
Canadian Government which, IN the
light of Mr.. Craig's more recent views
in regard TO Tanning island, Is COM
pTehensible.
Last winter a meeting of merchants
and business men generally was held
in st. Louis. 1t was, in fact, COM
mercial congress, and the delegates
were chosen by the Chambers of Com
merce, Produce Exchanges and May
ors OF the different cities represented.
To this congress three delegates were
appointed from here in the persons OF
Frederick @ Voss, Albert Il. castle
and Hugh Craig, Vice-President OF
the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Craig bore with him resolutions
indorsing the Nicaragua canal propo-
sition and the Pacific cable proJect.
In these resolutions in regard 10 the
latter no subsidy from the Unlteo
States Government was ASKED In
fact. IL was expressly set forth that
only moral support should be sought.
The Government was urged to take
mn the matter at once, as 1t was
known that the British Government,
French. Canadian and Australian
Governments had the matter under
consideration. The st. Louis Con-
gress after slightly modifying the re-
solutions adopted them and memo
rialized the United States Congress
on the subject. No action, however,
was taken by Congress, chiefly, 1t
was said, because those who were in
cIined TO favor it were led to believe
that the recommendation were mere
ly a prelude to the asking Of govern
ment subsidies.
Later on the subject % establishing
a cable station on one Of the Hawai-
ian islands under exclusive British
control came up and was not acqui-
esced in by the United States. The
result of this has been the develop
ment of which Mr.. Craig has just re-
ceived news, that the station In the
North Pacific will be Tanning island
and the Hawaiian islands will not be
tonehed.-lS. +. Examiner, July 3.

Great Britain Has Treaty With

BERLIN, June 30.-A member of the
diplomatic service, and close friend
of Prince Bismarck, has assured me
that the reports of the preparations
being on foot for an outbreak of hos
tilities between Russia and Japan are
quite correct.
He is of the opinion that a sec ret
treaty Of alliance has been concluded
between Great Britain and the Japan
ese Government. My informant an
ticipates serious complication in
Europe, Asia and Africa owing to the
inconsistent policy pursued by the
German Government.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 30.-The
Chinese Legation here gives formal
denial to the rumors of q breakdown
in the negotiations for the Chinese
loan guaranteed by Russia. On the
contrary it is announced that these
negotiations will soon eliminate in
satisfactory agreement, subject to GER
tain slight notifications of the condi-
tions originally proposed.
Denial is also made by the legation
of the reported participation in the
loan by England and the United
States. / may add that these state
ments are fully In accordance with in
formation furnished from Russian
diplomatic sources.
HoNGKoNG, July 1.-The British
Admiral has withdrawn his guard
from the island of Formosa and has
offered to take foreigners aboard his
ships. The German Admiral has
made a similar offer to all Germans.
1t is believed the reason for this action
is that it is inexpedient to retain q
guard with the Japanese forces ad-
vancing and fighting probable.

Russia Has n Great Force Ready to
Attack Japan.
TACOMA, June 3O.-The Norwegian
steamer Oscar IL, which arrived early
this morning, Is days from Vladivos-
took, Siberia, brings news that the in
dications are good for another small
Oriental war; Unknown to the out
side world Captain r. Anderson, of
the steamer, saws Russia has massed
5000 men at VIadivostock, and it Is
believed in Siberia that preparations
are being made for an advance on
Japan. Captain Anderson says:
Russia has been secretly, but ac-
lively, at work, and, in the event of
trouble with Japan, is prepared to
hurl formidable navy and land force
has wrested from China. These ships
and troops have been massed at Via
livestock, where the scene is decidedly
warlike. The entrance to the harbor
is planted full of torpedoes, and no
vessels are allowed to pass in or out
without Russian naval officers on
board, as we'll as experienced Russian
pilots who know where the torpedoes
are planted. My vessel was escorted
in this manner both going in and
coming out of the harbor.
"Inside the harbor the entire Pacific
fleet of Russian warships is massed
ready TO steam down the coast at a
moments notice. On shore $4,000
troops have been concentrated, and
the evidence is clear that Russia is
fully prepared for trouble in case the
Japanese give any occasion for it.
"The massing OF these ships and
troops at Vladivostock has been done
secretly by Russia, unusual precau-
tions having been taken to prevent the
spread of any intelligence regarding
the actual force she has quartered
there. What Russia's designs are
cannot, of course, be told, and are
purely conjectural, but it is clear that
if she builds a railroad line south from
VIadivostOck TO the Yellow Sea her
intention is to obtain an open port and
hold it at all hazards.
"The whole country looks like war
and the situation is considerably
strained, but the peace element is
hoping that the tension may be re-
lieved and matters settled without a
resort to arms"
1t was intimated to Captain Ander-
son before he left that the Government
would be pleased if he did not take
pains to spread his knowledge of the
operations at Vladivostock, but he
did not hesitate much this evening
when asked to tell what he knew, as
he thinks the world is entitled to
know the facts.
The Oscar II carried to Vladivostock
a cargo of cement, used in construct
ing the trans Siberian railroad. Cap
tain Anderson says the construction
of this road is being rapidly pushed,
the Car of Russia having given or
ders to finish it as quickly as possible.
AS soon as this line is finished, he
says, the Russian Government intends
extending it from Vladivostock south
ward through Manchuria and Corea to
an open seaport.
