A Pacific Cable.

The British are about to commence
their Pacific cable, extending from
Vancouver via certain islands to Aus
tralia and New Zealand. It will be
5000 miles long and complete the cleo
trio circuit of the globe. The cost is
placed at $500, 900, and is to be borne
by Canada, Australia and the British
government, but chiefly by Australia.
The object is to unite the scattered
fragments Of the empire more closely
and also to reduce cable rates.

seen on the native boats and even on
the swell launches plying about Manila

THE QUAY CASE.

Unusual interest in the Quay case is
felt throughout Montana, for upon it's
determination may rest in large part
the right of the executive Of this state to
fill the Clark vacancy by appointment
should that expected vacancy mature
in the near future.
Under the precedent established in the
Mantle case, an appointee by the gov
ernor, after the legislature has failed
to do it's duty. cannot be admitted; but
it is believed by many that the precedent
will be reversed in the Pennsylvania
case, in which event Governor Smith will
name some one to fill the Clark vacancy
provided that gentleman is deprived Of
his seat as the result of the committee
report.
Naturally, Montana politicians are on
tip-toe awaiting the outcome of the con-
troversy from the Keystone state.

breath, and his able conferres-Camp-
bell, Whiteside and Misunderstanding

ever, which go to show that while the
eastern wing of the party is satisfied with
the idea of placing free coinage in the
background, and has no objections to
urge against Bryan on that score. it is
dissatisfied with some of the populistic
features of the Chicago platform to which
the distinguished Nebraskan has given
his unqualified assent.
In order to hold his strength in his own

1t is to be regretted by those who look
ed pom Bryan as the ~incorruptible silver
leader of the past, that opposition to his
candidacy among eastern democrats did
not grow out of his loyalty to the white
metal. Were this the case it would give
some assurance of his fidelity to the
cause of bimetallism. But it is not the
case. Bryan has so modified his position
on the free coinage question as to abso-

TURKEYS POSITION

The possibility of trouble growing out
doubtless occasion more discussion than
their Importance justify. The European
press show a disposition to question the
ability or inclination of the United States
to take an aggressive position which the
continental powers have never had the
courage to assume.
that the relations of the American re-
public to the sick man. of the east are
essentially different from those which
held the hands of Europe during the Ar
menian atrocities of the past. It is sell
dom that history places any nation in
the unique attitude occupied by Turkey
menia with impunity. The conduct of
the Turkish government was not in
question yet all the great powers of Eu-
rope looked on with apparent indiffer-
ence to the eliminating national crime
of the nineteenth century.
Circumstances had so adjusted the bal
ance of power that the intervention of
n nation might have meant universal
war, and a clash of arms throughout the
continent of infinitely greater Importance
to the world han the death of the Ar
menian martyrs. Hence, prudence in the
preservation of the peace of Europe
meant a policy of indifference to crimes
which shocked the moral sense of Chris
tendon and made the world hold up it's
hands in horror.
Even now. when the then existing
strain upon continental affairs has been
m~easurably lifted by new conditions, the
report of a possible rupture between
Russia and Turkey sets the world in a
fiutter. There is little in the Turkish
empire that suggests he possibility Of
defense. War with any power of note
means its downfall, and the usurpation
of its territorial wealth. with all that
may imply to the victorious power. II
Russia, for instance. should absorb
Turkey as h result of war. and en-
trench herself in hat portion Of the
