BRITISH CABLE IDEAS.
promoters Alive to Possible Rivalry
in the Field.


Three and half pages of an
English trade periodical that ex-
changes with the BULLETIN are
taken up with an exhaustive article
from the Electrical Review on the
project of British Pacific cable,
which also advocates a cable to
the British West Indies. The
conclusion of the article is re-
printed below to show how keen
ly alive the promoters are to the
importance of getting ahead of
any possible rivalry in Pacific
cable communications
Such are the main points of this
question of Colonial cable COM
munication. The projectors of the
Pacific system admit that the
mere laying of cable between
two opposite shores of an ocean
has in our time become a COM
paratively commonplace affair.
But they claim that this project to
connect Great Britain with Ca
NADIA, Australasia, the Cape, and
the West Indies, by all all British
system which will be self-support-
ing, is one of more than ordinary
significance. They anticipate that
this comprehensive scheme will
greatly strengthen the commercial
positions OF the regions affected,
and constitute a common bond
between the Mother Country and
Colonies, now widely separated,
The co. operation of Great Britain
and her principal Colonies in es-
tablishing this telegraphic con-
nection, will present itself to the
world rs an ideal "co- partnership
unparalleled in history. But i'm
mediate action is imperative
Should the Colonial delegates
separate without having definitely
arranged for the execution of this
work, either the French company
or some powerful American or.
ganisation, perhaps the two in
unison, will probably promptly
monopolise the telegraphic con-
troll of the Pacific Ocean and the
West Indies. This would constr
tute national calamity.

BANK OFFICIALS INDICTED.
Prominent Residents of Denver and n
Chicago Man Chnrged,-vvfth Fraud.

DENVER. Col, May 49, The federal
grand jury, now in session, has found sew
eral indictments against bank officials and
others, accused of having conspired to de-
fraud depositors in banks In this city which
have closed their doors during the past three
years. John ]. Reithman, president, and
John ]. Relthman, jr.. vice president,
Charles NJ. Clinton, cashier, and Charles
Kunzemiller, assistant cashier, OF the Ger
man National Bank. are charged with hav-
ing falsified figures in the report to the Con-
troller of thS condition of that institution on
May 4, 1892. 1t is said that the charges Of a
more serious nature against these men are
being considered by the grand jury. 1t is
also announced to-day that o. z. Miller, of
Chicago, has been indicted on the charge of
embezzling $125. 900 from the Commercial Ma
tional Bank. and that Charles H. Dow, who
was president of the Commercial, is charged
with having conspired with Miller to de-
fraud Commercial depositors, and with hav-
ing violated the national banking law by
loaning TO Miller $145 900, whereas under the
law the bank could not loan to one individ-
ual or company more than 10 per cent. of it's
capital stock, which was $4,000
o. X. Miller figured prominently in Dem
Yer prior to the panic OF 1893. He was and
still is the head of the Miller Hernia Com
pany, which handles trusses and other pat
in Denver, Chicago and other cities. Inves-
t.gation of Miller's financial affairs since the
crash of 1893 has developed the fact that
his entire indebtedness to the national banks
of Denver aggregated $4,000. OF this
amount $l92 ,OO0 was secured from the Com
mercial and German National banks. and
the remaining $153,000 was borrowed from
banks that survived the panic. The Ameri-
can National, which suspended recently. is
said to have been a loser. Receiver Frank
Adams, of the Commercial National, and
Zeph Il. Hill, of the German National have
been pressing Miller for settlement bur the
truss dealer, who moved his residence to
Chicago soon after his financial hackers
went 10 the wall, has been standing them
off with promises to bond his company and
square up his indebtedness. Miller hoated
bonds in Chicago for $4,000, but not one
cent of this mdney ever reverted to the
banking institutions in Denver. to which ne
was largely indebted 1t was on the receipt
of the news that he had received the money
from his bonding operation that the re-
ceivers withdrew all objections TO criminal
prosecution, as they Were assured he in
tended 10 pay While in Denver Miller was
very active in church and Sunday school
work.

Louisville signed him. Hanlon wouldn't

MRS. LANGFELDS SLAYER.
Supposed to he n Hungarian Ex-Army
Omter Of Prominence.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 19.-Joseph E.
Blanther the ex-Hungarian army officer
who il suspected of cutting the throat of
Mrs. Langfeld, an aged woman, is still
among the missing. His movements up to
Saturday morning have been traced, but
after that time his disappearance has been
complete. 1t is known that Blanther went
to his room late Friday night. He met
young man named Dodge Saturday morn
ing and they went across the bay to Oak
land on the 10 O'Clock boat There they
separated, and the police are inclined to
believe that Blanther returned to San Fran
cisco.
Joseph Blanther, the suspected, was a
lieutenant in the army of Emperor Francis
Joseph, and served with such distinction
that he received a special token of imperial
favor of at least four crosses and decora-
tions of knightly orders. The decorations
and the documents accompanying
them. found among the effects of
the missing man. establish these
facts beyond doubt. The most i'm
highly illuminated imperial order OF Dec.
II 1878, comforting knighthood, crest and
a coat Of arms, on Joseph Blanther. who
fifth Austrian Infantry. commanded by the
Archduke Ludwig Victor. This document
In terests the police here mostly in the fact
that 1t fixes beyond doubt the age OF
Blanther at thirty-seven years. He was
born In 1859 at Rankolburg, in Steimart. He
must have descended from good family
TO get such a berth as first lieutenant in
the Archduke's regiment when only nine
teen years of age. Previous to that he had
evidently done some peculiarly noteworthy
action for the highly priced iron cross of
the third order had already been conferred
upon him Later on, from other papers
found among Blanther's effects, it would
appear that he was with his regiment at
Bangkok Siam, with the title of major, or
by some special act of bravery the atten-
ton of King Humbert was attracted to the
Knight Won Blanther. Among other
documents found by the police is one bear
ing the royal seal of Italy, whereby knight
hood in the Order of the Crown of Italy is
conferred. This was in November. 1881, and
in obedience TO the royal will the golden
insignia of the order, the double-headed
eagle of the House of Savoy, and a patent
comforting the right to wear IL, was dis
patched to Blantner. who was then lieu
tenant in the Thirty-second Infantry Regi-
ment of Austria. Blanther arrived in the
United States about ten years ago and re-
sided in Chicago and numerous towns in
Florida. Blanther arrived in San Fran
cisco Feb. ?, and, with the exception of a
short trip TO Portland, Ore, he remained In
this city ever since.

over the finish in the first race, when Abuse

The Machine a Success.

The bangteils have caught the public
favor in Terre Haute, as viii no doubt be
the case in Indianapolis. There is no
longer tiresome wait between the dashes,
as has always been the case with the rum
ners before the new starting machine was
patented. The fields at Terre Haute on
a few minutes wasted at the post. Much of
the delay that has been caused has been
due to the horses being green in facing the
machine. There is nothing intricate about
the machine, and it can be operated at any
point on the track, according to the dis
lance that Is on the programme. 1t con-
sists of piece of rubber which is stretched
across the track in front OF the horses.
