THE PACIFIC CABLE.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The Times pub
ilshed an article on the Pacific cable
and the proposed steamship service to
Canada direct. 1t says the success of
the movement is largely due to Canada.
Inc government does not intend to
subsidize the Australian-Pacific SER
wee from Australia to Vancouver. It
is also understood the government will
only subsidize the Atlantic section of
TINS service on condition that better
time can be made over the Canadian
Pacific railway than can now be made
under existing conditions. In both the
steamship and the cable schemes the
principle is recognized that in order to
nave British connections exclusively
the line must in the first instance oe
carried westward from the centre. By
acceptance of this principle, Canada
obtains position she has never oc-
cupied before as the main highway Of
the British empire.

Chandler Registers Big Kick With
the President.

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator
William F. Chandler has written the
following letter to the president
WASHINGTON, Nov %.
To the PRESIDENT make complaint
to you and through you to your inter-
state, commerce commission against the
trust and pooling agreement now near
ly finished of the eight American rail-
road trunk lines and the Dne Canadian
line, of pooling the traffic, between New
York City and Chicago.
The agreement provides that every
railroad in the combination shall make
and maintain the transportation rates
prescribed by a board of managers rep
resenting all the roads. This is a con-
spiracy in restrait of trade and COM
merce, under the act of July 2, 1890.
The agreement also makes certain
that all competition shall be abolished
as above required by imposing heavy
fines upon any offending road, which
fines are applied for the benefit of the
other roads. This is division of earn
ings contrary to section 5 of the in
terstate commerce law. This trust and
pooling agreement can be annihilated
as provided by explicit existing laws
of the United States; first, by injunc-
ton from the courts; second, by an
order of the interstate commerce COM
or, third, by an indictment of
the individuals signing the same.
1t can also be easily stopped by a
vigorous appeal from you to Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgan, whose power over
the nine governors of the nine trunk
lines is as absolute as it was over the
bond syndicate. 1t cannot be possible
you intend to take upon your admin
istration the responsibility of fastening
upon your burdened and helpless peo-
pie this, the hugest trust the world
ever saw or that was ever conceived
Of, when one earnest word from your
fresh attorney general, your ambitious
chairman of your commission, or your
banker friend will paralyze
the iniquity in it's inception. Very re-
spectfully.
WILLIAM T. CHANDLER.

ATTEMPTED MURDER
HORRIBLE WORK OF A HUNGAR-
IAN IN NEW YORK.
Fooled in His Attempt to Ruin His
Young Daughter, He Slabs and
Then Kills Himself.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Andrew
Thinks, Hungarian, while intoxicated
today, attempted to murder his 15-
year-old daughter because she would
not submit to his desires, and then
committed suicide.
The man, his common law wife and
her daughter by a former maria ge
lived together in a tenement house in
Third street. Last night they all went
to a party, returning home at an early
hour this morning. Shortly after they
had retired the woman was awakened
by the screams of her daughter The
man had attempted to assault the
girl, and, meeting with resistance, he
was craZed with anger. He seized a
knife and thrust it into the girls back
several times. The girl sprang from
the bed and ran into the kitchen,
closely followed by the murderous
fiend. There the child, covering with
dread, was seized by the father, who
picked up Ratchet, which lay near,
and began to strike the girl with
that instrument on the shoulders. The
girl, though horribly cut and bruised.
managed to break away from her
father and escaped from the house.
Then the mother, who had been
awakened by the girls cries, tried to
grasp the Ratchet, but the man held
it aloft and threatened to kill her. She
snatched the Ratchet from his hand
and followed her daughter into The
street. They called the police and In
a moment or two~the entire house was
IN a con1motion and the excitement
was greatly augmented by hearing the
report OF four pistol shots, which fol-
lowed in rapid succession.
The police found Thinks on the floor
having fired several shots into his
head and neck He died before the
ambulance arrived.

The same conditions prevailed last

CALLED HOME.
Barth1emey Saint HiIaire.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Daily News
this morning announces the death Of
Barthelemey Saint Hilaire.
NJ. Barthelemey Saint Hilaire, who
was little more than 80 years of age
at the time of his death, was probably
the only man living who retained
clear personal recollection of Napoleon
l. The first occasion was on March IL,
1914, when the allied armies entered
Paris. The sufferings of that day were
the more strongly impressed upon his
mind because they were associated
with the physical pain of an attack of
opthalma, malady that troubled him
all his life He had a better view of
Napoleon in 1915 at a review in the
Champs de Mars. The last glimpse
that he caught of Napoleon occurred
a few weeks later as he walked on
the terrace of the Tuilleries. NJ Saint
Hilaire was a writer of considerable
note and furnished many articles
against the policy of home rule for the
English papers.

Empire had just completed trip from
Boston to London at the time Of the
accident. She was commanded by
Captain Wills.
A violent northeast gale which has
prevailed along the British coasts dur
ing the past twenty-four hours, also
caused the suspension of the Folkston-
Boulonge service, and the mail steam
er, which was unable to make Calais,
returned to Dover. Other steamers
from the continent report fearful pas
sages and several casualties to fishing
boats and small boats of Lowestoft and
