Prciic Cable Schemes.
From the New York Tribune.1

The acquisition of Wei-Hai-Wei by
Great Britain has strongly stimulated
British interest in the scheme for lay
ing q telegraphic cable across the Pa
cific Ocean. That place is certain to
become an important one, Strateglcally
if not commercially, AID it Is desirable
,, that it should be connected as directly
as possible with the r-st of the EmpiI e
by means of instant communication.
Cables ader alien control will not do.
What is wanted is a wOrld-encircling
system every land station of which
shall be on British soil, SO that in case
of war there shall be no
interruption of service. The
scheme for some time under cousidera-
| ton provides for a cable from Canada
! to Australasia, of which the cost shall
| be borne, one-third by Canada, one
third by the Australasian colonies. and
one-thiro by Great Britain. The
chances are that it will be carried out
before long, and that 1t will bs further
extended to Wei-Hai-Wei and Hong
Kong.
That will be wise and en.erprising.
On that there can be only one opinion.
But how about tue United States? Il
Is already great Pac. tic Ocean power.
| Eastern Asia Would it not be the
part of wisdom for it to h ave telegraph
ic communication with that cOntiner t..
direc.? The desiraoiIity of a cable to
Hawaii has already been poiotsd out,
| and must be evident to all. Those
islands will probably soon be U oited
| s ates property. .Certainly 1t is de-
sira bic for all parts and properties of
this country 10 be connected. And
| now alOther factor is added to the
! argumeur. We Rave taken possession
If the Philip ines, che of the larges;
and most valuable grOu ps OF islands Oh
the globe. In exactly whas way and
how long we shall hold them are mat
5ers not yet fully decided. If we should
| no d them forever there would be no
cause for objection by any Other power.
But at any rate, we are bound to hold
| them for time and to assume the
| reepon Sibility Of administering th@m.
That fact makes il practically neces-
sary that they SHOULD be in direct com.
municatiOn with the National capital;
ali the better if by q direct cable
across the Pacific.
| What is want=d is cable from Cal
ifornia to Hawaii. and then, to Japan
with a branch to the Philippines Or
perhaps it would be better, if a little
longer, to run it from Hawaii direct to
the Philippines, and q branch thence
to japan. That would, upon annexation
of Hawaii, give US the entire main lire
| with Landings upon the United States
soil. That such line of cable would
be profitable there is no room to
doubt. Trade on the Pacific is grow
ing more rapidly than anywhere ell. {
in the world, aud that nation is going
to get the best part of it that has the
best facilities for communication with
all markets. AS for the usefulness Of
such cables in time of war sthe present
demonstrates it amply. And the pres
ent also demonstrates the wisdom o1
always being prepared for war, ard
the folly of saying there is no danger

The Mule Knew

James Weir, Jr, In LfppincOttS.
Several years ago there lived in Gin
cinnsti mule which was employed by
a street railway company is hauiling
ca' up q steep incline, This animal
was hitched in font of the regular
team, and unhitched as soon as the car
arrived at the top of the hill. 1t made
a certain number OF trips in the fore
noon II have forgotten the number, but
will say fifty for the sake of convenient
ce), and like mum Der of afternoon rest
ing for an hour at noon. AS soon as
the mule completed its fiftieth trip it
marched away to its stable without
orders from its driver. To show that
it was not Influenced by the sound of
the factory whistles and bells, the
following remarkable &C ion on the
part of IBIS animal is vouched for by
the superintendent of the line, who
gave me these data. On certain
occasion, during a. musical festival,
this mule was transferred to the night
shift, and the very instant it complet-
ed its tiftieth trip it started for the
stobles. 1t took the com ined efforts
Of several men to make it return to it's
duty. At night there were no bells or
whistles to inform the creature that
"quitting-time" had come; it had
counted the trips, and, having finished
it's full quota of fifty, it thong ut
that the time for RESI- and food had ar
rived.

MORMONS IN ATLANTA.
They Will Establish a Conference to

The two Mormon elders reached At

They are but two of so Mormon elders

the faith of the Latter Day Saints.
The elders will begin their ministry
here today and they declare that when
they leave they will have established a
large Mormon conference here. They
come here fresh from successful labors
in Tennessee and after building up a
conference of 60 members in ChattanOo-
ga. They were in Chattanooga three
weeks and were well received there.
Mormonism, they say, has been purg-
ed of the elements which have hitherto
proven most Objectionable to the people
of this section. They are preachers of
the original faith, just as Joseph Smith
and Brigham Young spread throughout
Utah, but the believers are not practic-
ing the same beliefs.

Atlanta until they have finished their
work. They travel without money and
depend entirely upon charity for their

NO BOOM IN BLACK POWDER
It's Price Not Raised, Because the
War Demand is All for the
Smokeless Variety.

New York, April 2O.-The rumors of
war have had no effect on the prices of
black gunpowder material, and the
large dealers say that there has been
no boom in their business and no abnor-
NAL demand.
Saltpetre, which forms nearly 80 per
cent of the black powder, costs only a
quarter of a cent more pound today
than it did before the Spanish war cloud
became visible. The crude article which
comes from Calcutta costs about three
and a quarter cents a pound, and the
refined varies in price from four to four
and a quarter cents a pound. 1t comes
in bags containing about 200 pounds
each, and of these about $4,000 came to
the United States last year.
Battle & Renwick, who are large deal
ers in powder material, supply nearly
all the large manufacturers, and when
asked why the prices of their goods re-
manned normal, said that smokeiess
powder had displaced the black article
as war material, and that although it
was much more expensive than the old
article, it was being used in all mod
err arms, large and small The black
powder costs about 10 or u cents
pound and the SmOkeless article costs
about 81.

HARD ON DRESSMAKERS.
Fashionable Girls of New York Have
New Fad.

New York, April 2O.-The fashionable
girls of New York have adopted a new
fad this spring that must fill the heart
of mere man with grateful glee, for it
should guarantee him an economical
wife. They are actually sitting down of
mornings cutting patterns with great
industry and making their own summer
frocks. Some of these girls are mar
velously skillful at it, too. 1t is a curl
Gus bit of statistics that not a few of
the wealthiest seem to take to dress
making as ducks do to water.
There is no one more clever in this
respect, for example, than is Miss
Julia Delafield, the daughter of Mr.. Ma
turin Delafield. Wonderfully apt at
catching ideas of this sort, too, and turn
ing them into CONNECTIONS as quick
as a wink, are Mrs. Harry McVickar,
Mrs. Richard Stevens and Miss Flor
ence Van Rensselaer,. Other energetic
young women who will appear this sea-
son in their own clothes-in some meas
ure-are Miss Alicia Sabriskie. Miss
Madelein Sailer, Miss Suzanne Piersen,
Mrs. Arthur Weeks, and Mrs Temple
Emmett.
Sewing bees have come into fash
ion again, girls bringing around their
work. and spending the morning with
each other, generally staying to lunch
con, and usually accomplishing a vast
deal.

their party: I may be par,d9ned' too
tauntingly, that all Democrats and ali
members of other parties shall be found
supporting, not the president alone, but
Il too, shall welcome the day when men
of all parties may join with the president

Mr. Cockrell, ''but if the president of the

he will find himself greatly mistaken"
