The FRENCH OCEAN CABLE


Aud the controversy over lts Lana
Ing ut Cape Cod.
washington, Sept. 7-Omclals OF the
state department and Of the sttorney
generals Office have been cohferrinG
recently relative to the French cable
which lands at Cape Cod The cable
was first laid under authority given
by the president, through Secretary
uvarts in 1879, and recently the French
company has been replacing this line
with a new copper cable This met with
opposition, and Senator Frye intro
duced a bill to prevent the landing Of
cables without the assent Of congress,
while Senator Nelson offered another
bill leaving the question with the presi-
dent. Neither bill passed congress.
While they were under consideration
in the senate committee on commerce
the statement was made that If the
French cable was landed pending con-
gressional action a United States reve-
nue. cutter would cut It.
Through the summer work on the
cable has progressed steadily, and in
/ formation received here today indicates
/ that the last link in the line will be
/ completed I'm midocean in about ten
/ days, although there may be delays
owing to the delicacy Of THIS final oper-
alton. The steamer Silverstone has
been paying out the line from the
American coast and the steamer Fran
els Aragon from the French coast. The
| Silverstone has paid about 1900 miles
from the American side and the Francis
Aragon about 900 miles from Brest.
This leaves about GOO miles Of the total
length of 5000, and the steamers are
gradually approaching with the pros
pect Of uniting about the middle of
the month The American connection
at Cape Cod is said to have been COM
pleted, with the line running into mid
ocean.
The question before the state depart
rnent and attorney general has been as
/ to the right to land a cable of a foreign
company. There appears to be much
/ doubt as to the law, or whether there
| is any law on the Subject The French
company has urged that the line was
a renewal of the old line, and not a
/ new line. They also have pointed out in
a communication to the senate com
mittee on commerce that the line was
| of strategic Importance to the United
| States, as IL is said to be the only cable
which does not pass over British ter
ritory. What, if any, action the gov
| ernment will take has not been de-
termined so far as can be learned.

Chicago Sept Had yesterday not
been a legal holiday superintendent
Charles w. Carr would have been re-
lieved of his position at Postal Station
o, Englewood before he could have
had time to contest the right of Post
master Gordon to remove him. AS it
is, Mr.. Carr got a restraining order
served on the postmaster this morning
before the transfer could be made. The
order was granted by Judge jenkins,
Of the federal bench, at Milwaukee,
shortly before o'clock last evening.
Carr claims that the order of Presi-
dent Mckinley of June p forbidding
removals from civil service offices with
out formal charges and trial before
competent authorities covers not only
removals from the service, but re-
movals from a higher to a lower po-
sition in the service.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out of
