Japanese Political Economy Society
Considers Pacific Cable.
Via Canada Open to Political
Objections.

The Political Economy Society held
a meeting in the Fujimiken, restau-
rant at Fujimicho, Tokyo, on the Goth
inst. There were present over twenty
members, among whom were seen Wis
count Soga, Baron Hanabusa, Captain
Kimotsuki and Messrs. Sakatami Yo-
shiro( Chancellor in the Finance De-
partment), and Hadano Densaburo, a
Portuguese M. p. The question of lay
ing a submarine telegraphic cable be-
tween Japan and America was consid
cred. The meeting specially invited the
presence of Mr.. Tamaki Bentaro, an
expert in the Department of Communi-
cations, to hear his opinion on the ques-
ton. Mr.. Tamaki spoke on the result
of Investigations so far made of the
scheme. He stated that the scheme has
been under contemplation for con-
siderable time among Americans and
Englishmen. All of them would require
a subsidy from their respective govern
ments. No scheme has yet been brought
to maturity. The scheme is, however,
being indefatigably supported. Out of
the several lines proposed, the one to
Islands, via Hawaii, and then to the
mainland of Japan, was most promis-
ing.
The line from Japan to Canada by
way of Hokkaido, Kamschatka and
Alaska would be less difficult in respect
of physical obstacles, but was open to
serious objections from the political
point of view.
On the motion of Mr.. Sakatani it was
decided to appoint committee and go
carefully into further detailed esti-
mates of probable profit and loss, the
difficulty of work and the number of
messages, the result to be reported at
the regular meeting to be held in Sep
tember next. Messrs. Sakatani, Tagucht
Ukichi, Sekiwa Masamichi and three
other gentlemen were elected members
of the committee.-Kobe( (Japan) Chro-

AGENT McvEIGH OBJECTS.
Did Not Want Captain Scott at
Quarantine.

sQuarantlnS.
AS is customary when a contagious
disease makes its appearance at the
quarantine station, a detail of police
men is sent from headquarters to stand
guard over the immigrants and keep
order.
Yesterday a request was received for
a detail, and Deputy Marshal Hitchcock
ordered Captain Scott and two men
from each watch, six in all, to go over
to the station. A little later telephone
message was received from Agent Nc
Weigh, asking who would have COM
mand of the men. When told it would
be Captain Scott, he informed the Dep
uty Marshal that he did not want him.
Scott's orders were then countermand-
ed and it was decided not to send any
one from the police department.
Deputy Hitchcock says he has never
heard of Captain Scott or his men
Sinking duty while at the quarantine
grounds, and cannot understand why
McVeigh should object to his going
there.
In consequence of the policemen not
going over, detail of the unemployed

The Public Will be Amused
When Charges are Read.

Newspaper Articles Exaggerate
the Facts-TrIal May be Long
and Lacking In interest, Etc.

The gossip of the town is divided be-
tween the possibility of an epidemic of
smallpox and the coming court martial
of Captain Good. There are more peo-
pie, however, to talk about the chances
of Captain Good than there are who
take interest in the smallpox, varioloid
or GermSp measles.
One gentleman, an officer in the Ma
tional Guard, and high in the opinion
of the Government, smiled when speak
ing of the offences charged against
Captain Good.
''To read the newspaper accounts as
to the seriousness of the charges one
might think the Captain had been SOW
ing the seeds of revolution among the
men under him, and that the city might
go to bed any night supposing every
thing to be quiet and peaceful, and
wake up in the morning to find the
Government building and the designs
for the new Government bonds in the
hands of Captain Good and half dozen
private soldiers.
"I have reasons for believing that the
public will enjoy a big laugh over the
charges when they are published. In
order that discipline should be enforced,
l presume it is necessary for Minister
Cooper to take action in the matter,
but the idea that Captain Good would
be shot, under the same circumstances,
in colder climate, is pure newspaper
rot, and l cannot believe that Colonel
Mclean ever made the remark credited
to him.
"But what about the accused officer
being kept in practically solitary con-
finement?" was asked.
THAT is about as peculiar as the
charges that are reported to haYe been
made against him. Just why he should
be deprived of the use of the grounds
is more than any man in the military
can imagine. l understand it was a
surprise to the court that Good showed
his preference for restraint by asking
for time to wait for his attorney. From
what 1 can learn. Good might have
plead his own case and had it settled
one way or the other three days ear
lier.
'There's not going to be any secrecy
in the matter when it comes before the
court. The trial will probably be held
in the old throne room and the public
will not have to form it's opinion from
the highly colored newspaper reports,
if it wants to hear them. The Coyne
matter was practically settled by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs and will not
be brought up again. A disagreement
over beer keg eliminating in a court
martial is not a common affair. What
the relations between Good and Coyne
are l do not know. The Lieutenant
says they are cordial, and Good has no
opportunity to talk back, SO the public
must be content with an ex parte state
ment until developments are made dur
ing the court martial"
do you suppose these developments
will affect any other officers in the mill
tary to the extent of other courts mar
tiaI?"
"As the charges have not been pre-
sented, and the court has but informal
ly met, and as no evidence has been pre-
sented bearing on the case, l cannot

THERE WILL BE NO BALL.

The Final Decision OF the South Caro-
lima Club.
The Columbia State of recent date
says: ''It will be sad and disappoint-
ing news to many fair maidens, staid
matrons and gallant men throughout
South Carolina to know that there will
be no State boil this year.
This great event, the society Mecca
whence the beauty and the chivalry Of
the State are wont to congregate year
ly at the shrine of Pleasures goddess,
will be passed over next month for the
reason that no suitable place could be
found compatible with such an occa-
sion, much to the great regret OF the
gentlemen in this city who have the
matter in their immediate charge.
''The executive committee of the
South Carolina club recently held a
meeting and the question of having a
ball during next Fair week was dis
cussed in all it phases.
1.-The committee were lotn to decide
against giving the regular annual ball,
but there was nothing else to do in
view of present conditions, and by a
motion of Mr.. J. T. Barron it was
finally and positively decided that no
ball would be given this year.
'The only trouble was, that no hall
large enough to accommodate the
crowd that usually attends the State
ball could be found. Every effort was
made to obtain the use of tho State
house, though strong and persistent,
met only with a complete failure, from
the State officials having in charge the
capitol building.
Then the very liberal offer of Co.

Kendall, rendering the use of the
fourth floor of his now building was
discussed thoroughly, but on account
of there being no place in this build.
ing in which to arrange the supper, il
was deemed best not to attempt the
ball there.
'In view of the fact that no State
ball is to be given, the .ociety young
men of the city propose to give big
german on Thursday night of Fair
week. which will be made second only
to the balls of the South Carolina club.
The german will be held in Clark
hall. and the Columbia orchestra, the
best in the State, will be engaged to
furnish the music on this occasion.

SPECULATED IN WHEAT.
Hasseltine, Assistant Cashier, Skips
With Bank Funds

Ernest Hasseltine, acting as assistant
cashier in the Bank of Lancaster and a
young man only 8 years of age, has
during the past month been speculating
in wheat and cotton futures through j.
Mum. Son & Co., and Clapp & Co., of
New York City, The sequel is the bank
has lost through him So, 800. Colonel
Springs, president of the bank, ac-
cidentally learned that the young man
was dealing in futures. He immedi-
ately notified the cashier and they, on
investigation, caught up with him. He
has been operating in futures since
about the 18th of August, almost the
entire loss being in wheat contracts
sold short. The young man made a
clean breast Of the whole matter, but
while the president and cashier werein
consultation with his father he disap
peared. The bank offered a reward of
800 for his capture and it is conf
dently believed that he will be caught.
He is lS years ofage, weighs about l40
pounds, is clean shnven, has reddish
hair and freckled face and hands and is
about feet inches high. He is quick
and active in his movements and is
dudish in appearance. Tho young man
belongs to one of the best families in
our town and no young man stood
higher morally or more thoroughly en-
joyed the confidence of the people. OF
course the standing of the bank is not
affected by the small loss.
Later He has been captured and is
now III the custody of the law.

ing that they had at the two previous
terms of court got orders from the
court for the carrying out of their rec

Judges had been ignored, and they
deemed it useless to make recommen-
dations if they were to be treated with
contempt, and asked that the Judge is

show cause why he or they should not
be held for contempt. The Judge
commended the jury for their work,
and especially for calling attention to
the disregard of their former present

in issuing the rule; that it was crimi.
nal for a public officer to ignore the

COTTON OIL MEN.

kept very quite about it the fact was

ing as to how the business should be
conducted to the best advantage.

AS will be seen, nearly all the mills
in South Carolina, as we'll as some in
North Carolina and Georgia, were rep
resented. Those present did not have
anything much to say as to the object
of the meeting; in fact some of them
denied that there was to be one. But
the meeting was hold in the Hotel Je-
rome with those present named.
Naturally the meeting had something
to do about production and the price
of cotton seed, and probably some un-
derstanding was had about these mat
ters. The business in oil is said to be
pretty dull now, and the price low, it
being worth 21 cents in New York.
The mills report that cotton seed is
coming in very slow and that some Of
them have on hand only enough to run
them two or three days. They are Of
fering 10 cents bushel for seed, but
nobody is selling at that price except
those compelled to do SO to raise lit
tie cash. Last year from 10 to 15c was
paid for seed. All the mills are either
in the American Cotton Oil Company.
Of New York, or the Southern Cotton
Oil Company, of Philadelphia, and they
have mutual agreement amongst
themselves as to the price to be paid
for seed. Naturally they will pay as
little as possible and unless farmers are
able to hold their seed they will have
to take what is offered.
Among other schemes discussed to
brighten up the business was one in
reference to exchanging meal for seed
and to push the use Of hulls as feed for
cattle. They want the meal used more
for feed than as q fertilizer. The dis
position of the products met with as
much discussion as the sale OF the oil.
The low price Of oil is stated to be due
to the slump in the price Of lard, Of
which oil is component, and the pros-
poets at present are that prices will
continue low.
