A CABLE TO MANILA
Senate Naval Committee Favor a Govern
ment Line.
House Committee Order Mr.. Sher-
Ownership to Be Reported.

The Senate committee on naval affairs
today ordered a favorable report upon the
bill to construct cable to Manila by way
of Honolulu. Midway Islands and Guam 1t
is to be under the direction of the Navy
department and to be a government cable.
senator Hale, chairman of the committee,
was authorized to prepare a bill and re-
port 1t to the Senate. The bill will provide
for immediate construction of the cable
only from San Francisco to Honolulu, but
IT contemplates the ultimate extension of
the cable to the Philippines and also to
Hong Kong. 1t is estimated that the cable
to Honolulu will cost between .$soOa,OOO
and S4,OO0,O00.
Private Line Favored,
Ihe House committee on commerce to-
day ordered favorable report on the bill
for Pacific cable connecting this country
with Hawaii. the Philippines and Japan.
Inc measure has been under consideration
for a long time, and two sessions were held
today in order to bring the matter to a con-
clusion.
The bill of Representative Sherman of
New York is the one favorably acted on,
with number of amendments This bill
provides for private construction of the line,
the government paying $3OO,00O annually
Tor twenty years for the transmission Of
messages. The amount of this annual pay
ment was the last question decided. The
original provision was 100000, but after
extended discussion the reduction to $780,
900 was made. The committee had pre-
viously inserted clause that the cable be
of American make and the cable ships shall
be under the American flag. Another pro-
vision calls for the completion of the line to
Honolulu by January 1, 1902, and to Japan
by January. 1903. 1t was originally esti-
mated that the cost of the cable would be
SS00O.OOO, but recent estimates submitted to
the committee show the rise In prices will
make the al Tba
ernments obligation. however, is confined to
the annual payment of $3o0,U0o.

COL. McoINNEss' VACATION.
For Acting Commandant at Rock Is
land Arsenal In Philippines.

For mer Acting CCmmandant at Rock Is
land Arsenal In Philippines.
The following, appearing in the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, will be read
with interest here, Col. McGinness
having been formerly acting COM
mandant at Rock Island arsenal:
Col. McGinness, chief of ordnance
of the United States army in the
Philippines, has been having a very
busy time of it since he began his
duties, and recent letters to friends in
this city state that he was badly in
need of rest and intended taking a
good one at the first opportunity.
Col. McGinness was formerly sta
toned in this city. and during his
residence here he made many warm
personal friends. who have not lost
interest in him since he was ordered
away on foreign service.
According to the American, pub.
lished in Manila, Col. McGinness is
probably already spending a vacation
with party of engineers and army
officers. who are camping out in the
island of Luzon in an endeavor to find
the highest and healthiest spot on the
island for the erection of sanitarium.
In an issue of the paper just received
by mail it is stated that the survey
party, accompanied by Col. McGin-
ness, would leave Manila at once for
San Fernando de la Union, and thence
travel across country to Bagio de la
Trinidad, 4 mountain five miles from
Trinidad and As miles from the town
of Calasao, where the sanitarium
will probably be located.
The plans contemplated the sur
vcying of The country between Bagio
and Calasao in regard to the feasibili-
ty of building 4 railroad. which would
tap the richest mineral lands in Lu-
zoa. 1t was expected that the work
of the party would require an absence
of from six weeks to two months, as
several surveys might be necessary
for connecting the two points, Bagio
and Calasao, with line direct, and at
the same time easy to build. The
elevation of Bagio, where Col. McGin-
ness elected to spend his furlough.
as near as has been computed, is
+. 700 feet above the sea. the climate
being all that can be desired, exhilar-
ating and bracing, never too hot in
the day time and cool enough for ex-
ira blankets at night; place where
mosquitoes are unknown. The country
there abounds in geese. ducks and
other wild fowl, and the officers on
the survey all expected to have lots of
sport shooting them

by the dog.
Two windows of Mrs. McKinnie's
room open on the porch. Both OF

ton, as numerous bontires of leaves
had been burned in the neighborhoo6
during the afternoon. To reach this
porch the thief, or thieves, had to
climb a maple tree standing at the
front of the house. BY means of a
branch the porch could easily be
reached, and because of the open win
dows access to the room was easy.
The family had sat down to dinner
at o'clock, and just before that time
Mrs McKinnie had been in her room.
She returned Immediately after din
ner, and saw her jewel case in differ
erent position from that in which she
had left it on her bureau.
JeweIry All Gone.
Opening it, she found that every
article it had contained had disap-
peared. She summoned her husband,
and as soon as an inventory of the loss
had been made the Evanston police
were notified.
The following description Of the
stolen jewelry was given by DR.. Nc
Kinnie:
A breastpin of solid gold set with
five large and two small diamonds;
value $3.50.

valuables. Even safety pins were not
left behind.
