EXPANSION SALVATION or COTTON
SenstOP Morgan Of Aiabs ma, Believes In
Retention of the Philippines.

Retention OF tine fhinppAnes'
NEW YORK. Sept. IA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Senator Morgan Of Alabama, prophe-
sizes expansion will be the salvation Of
cst.Gfl and Is about To start crusade
in the south to spread the new gospel.
In his prophetic vision he sees Manila,
instead Of Liverpool, the great cotton
market Of the world. He predicts the
time is coming when an American city
In the Pacific isles will handle two
thirds Of the cotton In the world, and
save billions Of dollars to the cotton
growers Of the United States.
Liverpool has been built on Ameri-
can cotton at the expense OF American
growers, while Manchester has thrived
at the expense Of American spinnero, +"
said Senator Morgan. why should
the price Of cotton growing in Ala
bama and textiles be fixed by men In
Liverpool?
Manila offers the key for escape
from this commercial thraldom.
There, at the very door OF Asia, is an
American city with a splendid harbor
and the day is coming when 1t will
rob Liverpool Of much of its cotton
trade. Cotton and cotton goods will
tie shipped west TO the Pacific, carried
To Manila and distributed from that
port up and down the Asiatic coast
without paying toll to Liverpool and
Manchester.
Remember that Asia has two thirds
Of the consuming power Of the world
and you viii see the Importance OF this
trade and the promise held ont To
Manila"

Taylor Wins the Gubernatoral Prize
in Blue Grass State.
FRANKFORT, Ky, December s.
The State Board of Elections tonight
gave out its official findings. The re-
port says that on the face of the re-
turns w. s. Taylor for Governor
and the rest of the Republican ticket
have been elected. Commissioners
Ellis and Pryor signed the majority
report, in which they held as board
of canvassers they have no right to go
behind the returns of the county
boards; that their duties are purely
ministerial as canvassers, and that the
face of the returns as received by them
from the counties show the election of
the Republican State ticket. Accord
ingly the report says, certificates of
election were ordered issued 10 each
candidate thereon.
Commissioner Poyntz presents a mi
norty report, which he closes by say
ing: Il am unwilling to certify fraud
and to turn Kentucky over to the con-
troll of the bayonet, Calling gun and
fraudulent tissue ballots.
Extensive preparations are being
made to inaugurate Taylor next Tues
day.
1t is not known what Goebel will do
in the matter of contrasting the election
of Goebel before the Legislature, but
many minor candidates will make a
fight.

CABLE SCHEMES.
Several Trans-Pacifc Bills Are Now
Before Congress

Several Trans-Pacific Bills Are Now
Before Congress.
WASHINGTON, December 1O.-The
multiplicity of cable bills introduced
this session indicates the interest that
Congress is taking in the project to
connect this continent with our new
territorial acquisitions in the Orient.
Representative Corliss of Michigan was
the first to act. He favors a cable built
by the Government at cost not ex-
ceeding $S,000,000, the general control
of the work to be placed in the hands
of Pacific Cable Commission. inclua-
ing the Postmaster General and the
Chief Signal Officer of the Army. He
includes the Philippines. China and
Japan in the general Pacific cable
scheme proposed.
Senator Hale in his bill outlines
quite a different plan of construction
by utilization, as far as practicable. of
vessels of the Navy and the laying of
the cable under the direculon of the
Secretary of the Navy. Upon compile
tion of the cable its control is to be
turned over to the Postmaster-Gene
Hale's bill contemplates the expenu-
iture of $11,000,000. Both the Corliss
and Hale bills designate San Francisco
as the terminus of the cable. and in
clude connection with the Hawaiian
Islands.
Tomorrow Representative Jones of
Washington will introduce a third bill
for the construction of a cable by the
Government at a cost of $4,000 600 He
leaves the choice of the terminus on
the Pacific Coast to the Pacific Cable
Commission, consisting of the Post
master General and three members to
be appointed by the President, none of
whom shall be from the States of Cal
ifornia, Oregon or Washington.
On the other hand, Representative
Sherman of New York has introduced
a bill authorizing the Postmaster Cen
eral to make a twenty-year contract
for an official cable service to the Ha-
waiian Islands, the Philippines, Japan
and China, with some American cable
company, the cost not to exceed $780,
900 year.
Senator Foster of Washington has
been preparing a bill authorizing the
laying of a line from Puget Sound to
Alaska and the Aleutian Islands,
thence to Japan, China and the Philip
pines. He provides that the Govern
ment shall guarantee all its business to
the company undertaking the work at
fixed rates, but pay no other subsidy.

BOTH VICE-ADMIRALS.

McKinley's Plan to End the Sampson
Schley Controversy.
WASHINGTON, December 7.-Presi-
dent Mckinley is credited with sug-
costing a novel plan for ending the un-
pleasantness that arose from the
Schley-Sampson controversy. His idea
is to revive the grade of Vice-Admiral
in the Navy and promote both rival
Admirals to that position. His plan is
to allow Sampson to rank Schley. The
President talked the matter over with
