CABLE COMPANIES CLAIMS.
DnmaSes Wanted for Wars Infer.
ruptiOn of Business

Another disagreeable consequence of the
late war has been the presentation to the
government of claims of cable companies
Tor damages sustained through the Sis
pension of their business by the United
states military and naval forces. What
the aggregate amount of these claims will
De cannot be foretold. The companies in
each case base their claims upon the num-
Der OF days of interruption to business. es-
umatlng the loss each day by the records
OF business transacted in CORRESPONDING
periods in former years.
Inc State Department is puzzled in deal
ing with these claims. There is no exact
precedent for them and it is realized we
must make some more international law
to meet the case. There are strong areu-
ments on each side, and it is for the de-
partment to estimate their strength and
arrive at a correct judgement
The companies believe they have n nre-
cedent for their demands in the attitude
assumed by the United States in the claim
of the Central and South American Tele-
graph Company, which Mr.. Blaine prose
cuted with great vigor with the result that
judgement was secured in favor of the
company for about $4,000, less than one
fourth of its full claim. This corporation
was an American concern, and its cables
off the coast of Chile We're cut by the cen
gresSional parties which succeeded in over
throwing the Balmaceda party in Chile.
The company's claim for reimbursement
was referred to the Chilean claims COM
mission and was one of the very few claims
allowed
The principal argument against the al
lowance of the claims in the pending cases
Is based upon denial that they are par
allel with the South American case 1t is
also asserted that at Manila, for instance,
the cable was being used as weapon by
the Spanish garrison against the United
States forces and that the latter were con-
sequentiy fully justified in destroying tenn
porarily the value of that weapon.
There are many interesting phases of the
argument that cannot even be touched
upon at present. But it is apparent already
that the claims require very careful treat
ment, as the United States government
which may itself very soon become inter-
ested in cable properties, will be obliged to
avoid laying down precedent which may
be used with unpleasant consequences
against it in the future.

THEY ESCAPE TAXATION.
Business Concerns in Alaska THAI
Pay Nothing to the Government.

Representative Tongue of Oregon has
prepared an amendment to the bill for codi-
ficatfon of laws of Alaska now pending in
the House, providing for the licensing of
main business concerns in the territory and
especially the liquor business Mr.. Tongue
says that the Treadwell mine, the richest
in the world, and owned largely abroad
does not pay anything in the way of taxes
to the support of the territorial institutions
From the region surrounding Juneau about
S6000.o00 in gold is produced annually and
does not contribute a cent to the govern
ment.
The present laws concerning liquor is cor
rupting society. No officer can prosecute
those who sell liquor without being ostra-
cised by people in the territory and the
liquor that is sold pays no revenue. 1t is
introduced into the territory by being
shipped in bond to Lake Bennett and shipped
back into Alaska. Such liquor is sold
there is of the very worst kind, being adul-
terated to an extent unknown elsewhere.
Senator Perkins tried to have similar
amendment incorporated in the general
Alaskan bill, which passed the Senate last
year, but it was defeated
Chairman Knox of the House committee
on territories has received a bill drawn by
citizens committee at Juneau, Alaska,
providing a plan of government for that
territory. The subject is about to be taken
up by the committee in connection with the
Carter bill providing a form of government.
The citizens bill preserves the main feat
ures of the Carter bill, but gives to the
President instead of the courts the selec-
ticn of commissioners and other officers.
Before acting the committee will hear Gov
ernor Brady, who telegraphed from Seattle
that he was en- route here.

CONNECTING WATERWAYS.
Report of Engineer Board Submitted
to Congress-.

The board of engineers on deep water
ways, November 30, submitted to the Sec
rotary of War a report which was today
presented to Congress. The work executed
under the direction of the board has been
confined to the following specific investga-
tons:
The control of the level of Lake Erie; the
projected Niagara ship canal, the Oswego-
Oneida Mohawk route, the st. Lawrence
Champlain route. A measurement of the
discharge from Lake Erie was made and a
determination of the slopes in the Niagara
river secured Two routes were surveyed
for the purpose of locating a ship canal
around Niagara Falls, one leaving the Nj
agara river at Tonawanda, n. Y. passing
short distance west of Lockport and
reaching Lake Ontario at Olcott, the other
leaving the Niagara river at La Sale, five
miles below Tonawanda, and entering the
Niagara river near Lewiston, below the
falls and rapids These surveys were COM
pleted between terminals above named,
with the exception of diamond drill borings,
which are still in progress at lock sites.
These behring's will probably be completed
in two months.
In order to complete the SURVEYS between
deep water in Lake Erie and deep water in
Lake Ontario small surveys will have to be
made al the mouth of the Niagara river
and at Olcott harbor. The Oswego- Oneida
Mohawk route is the designation given to
that portion of the proposed waterway en-
braced between deep water in Lake Ontario
in front of Oswego, n. Y, and the mouth of
the Mohawk river, at West Troy, n. Y.
The survey of this line has been completed
with the exception of a small number of
borings in the Oswego river and explora-
tons with the diamond drill at sites of
locks and dams. A small amount of work
remains to be done near the eastern ter
minus of the route. 1t is expected that
the field work will be completed within
three months.
The st. -Champlain route, con-
meeting deep water in the St Lawrence
river below the outlet of Lake Ontario with
deep water in the Hudson at Albany, was
also surveyed, with the exception of a few
miles in the vicinity of Messina, n. Y, and
certain sections in Lake St Francis and
Lake Champlain and borings in the Hudson
river below Albany. This work probably
will be completed in two months.
