PACIFIC CABLE.
It's Construction In the Hands of a
Boston Syndicate.

San Francisco, Sept. 10.-General Al
fred S. Hartwell who arrived here on
the steamer Coptic from Honolulu, will
leave today for Boston with a contract
which he says was contaminated be-
tween the Hawaiian government before
annexation and a syndicate of Boston
capitalists headed by James S. Scrym-
ser, president of the Central and
South American Gable company, for
the construction of a cable between
San Francisco and Honolulu, and from
there to Yokohama. The contract gives
this syndicate an absolute monopoly
of cable communication between Homo
lulu and Yokohama but is silent re-
garding the right of competition be-
tween the islands and the United
States.

SHAFTER WILL GO WEST.
Merritt to Resume Command OF the
Department of the East.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says: General
Merritt will resume command Of the De-
partment of the East, with headquarters
at Governors island, when he returns from
Europe, and General Shafter will go to San
Francisco to command the Department of
the Pacific, which he relinquished when the
war began and he was ordered to New Or
leans and eventually to Tampa and Cuba.
These assignments are to be made whether
hostilities are resumed or not, as both of
the officers concerned are satisfied to make
way and give younger men an opportunity
for active service in the field If occasion re-
quires General Shafter will reach the retir-
ing age of sixty-four years on Oct. 16. 1899,
and MS wish to end his military career in
his adopted home on the Pacific slope will
be respected. In fact, as much was prom
ised to him when he took command at
Governor island. General Merritt can adj
vance no further in rank before his re-
tirement, on June Is, $780, as his immediate
superior, General Miles, still has five years

LOST CHILD MURDERED.
Body of Five-Xear-OId Boy Found
Hidden in a. Gravel Pit.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 15.-Last night hun
dreds of people were searching for a lost
child in the northern part of the city until
early this morning, but without success
This morning the search was renewed, and
the child was found dead in a gravel pit.
covered up by a box two feet long. The
victim is the five-year-old son of Mr.. anu
Mrs. Charles Bodenmiller. The father is d
head machinist at the Whiteley malleable
ircn works, the family having moved TO
Muncie from Springfield, O., two years ago.
The entire city is mystitied at the strange
case The remains were taken to a morGue
whore a post norton was made and quickly
revealed the cause of death, but only added
to the mystery. A bullet hole in the side of
the head was found, and the 22-caliber bull
let was found in his brain. Near the wound
the tender flesh was badly burned with
powder, showing that the weapon was close
to the childs head. The box which covered
the remains was besmeared with blood The
box was identified as having been taken
from the rear of the Darlington residence
a hundred feet from the pit and across the
street from the nome Of the victims par
ents. In the sort clay mud near the box
were several tracks, and some looked to be
those of Il woman.
Lewis Shepherd was awakened at clock
this morning by talking and discovered that
in the rear of his house, near the Daring
ton home, were two men and woman, and
some believe that their mission WAS to find
the box used The child was away from
home all afternoon yesterday, playing with
a neighbor boy. and was last seen alive
with no hat, near the gypsy camp, where
two bears were on exhibition, and they can
not now be located. Some believe that the
stragglers attempted to steal the boy Gnd
then killed him. This theory is discarded
by others, because the river runs near
where they were and the body was carried
a quarter of a mile back towards the city
past the home, and left where it was sure to
be found. Another theory is that possibly.
the insurance carried on his life was the
incentive, but the police are working on the
theory that some playmate pointed a pistol
at the boy in q PLAYFUL mood and did not
know it was loaded, and that the assailant'S
parents are attempting to shield him. Ihe
md was made BY William Warrender, a
barber, VINO first discovered one of the boys

AN ILLEGAL COMBINE
SCHEME OF BIDDERS TO EVADE
PAYMENT OF WAR TAX.
Star Route Mail Contractors Warned
Bids VIII Not BE Accepted.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-The Postoffice
a combine of speculative mail contract bid
ders looking to the control of bids and
evasion of the fifty-cent war tax imposed on
their contract bonds. Some weeks ago the
department was approached with a view to
ascertaining its attitude on such organiza-
ton, and prompt notice was given that it
would be regarded as ille&itimate. Notwith-
standing this the department authorities
have found that considerable number of
these bidders or agents have got together,
formed an arrangement for opening their
own bids and selecting ostensioly the lowest
for fling with the department, suppressing
the others, and thus also saving the reVe-
nue. accruing to the government from the
large number of competitive bidSA sub
mitted. Some idea of the interests involved
may be gained by the fact that under con-
tracts to be let under the general advertise
ment of Sept. Is last. to which the organiza-
ton of these bidders Immediately looks, over
twenty thousand bids ordinarily would be
submitted FOR contracts for carrying mail
on routes In Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Mis-
souri,. The contracts are 10 be for four
years from July l, 1859. An official warning
to bidders generally was issued to-day. The
department warns all parties interested that
in its opinion such action as described above
would be in violation of the statute which
provides that no contract for carrying the
mails shall be made with any person who
has entered, or proposed to enter, into any
combination to prevent the making of any
bid for carrying the mail. or has made any
agreement or given or performed, or prom
ised to give or perform any consideration
bid for such contract The provision of
this law will be strictly enforced.

THE METEoRIC SHOWER
SHOOTING STARS NOT so NUMEROUS
OR BRILLIANT AS EXPECTED.
Result of Observations at Columbus
and Princeton Universities and
on Mount Hamilton.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-Astronomical OBJ
servations of the meteoric shower in tile
early hours of to-day were not wholly
satisfying. Professor Reese, of Columbia
University, said: II saw only two meteors.
They came from the direction of Ursa Ma
tor, and not from Leo, as had been expect
ed. There should be a magnificent display
at the disintegration of Beilas comet and
this should occur either tonight or to-mor-
row night"
Better results were secured at Princeton.
Professor Ioung. of that institution said:
Between the hours of 3:15 and o'clock we
saw about one hundred meteors that were
Leonides; that is, they belonged to the me-
teoric swarm that gave the shower. Per-
maps one dozen were as bright as first mag
nltude stars. The rest We're ehint and left

two aree meteors per minute for about
tW minutes. The radiant point seemed

sou,.l and west than in 1867. 1t was dis
tinct meteoric shower, but very faint one,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Sir Wilfred
Laurier, premier of Canada, and Sir James
Winter, premier of Newfoundland, arrived
to-day to take their seats in the Anglo
American joint commission. Mr.. T. Jeffer-
son Coolidge, of Boston, also came on, thus
completing the American membership The
commission held a brief session at II
O'Clock, and then gave way to meetings of
the British and American members sepa-
rately. These separate conferences were for
the purpose of going over the grounds on
which reciprocity can be discussed. Atten-
ton is now conferred almost exclusively on
this topic. No schedules have been ex-
changed, but 1t has been considered best to
take up each article separately and discuss
the possibilities of tariff concessions upon
it. The expectation is that this work will
proceed so that each side will know by the
end of the present week just what articles
the other side desires to incorporate in
reciprocity arrangement and what reduc-
ton of rates is possible on these articles.
