BY ELECTRIC CAR!E
 FROM SKAGNAY BAY
Government Pacific Cable to
 Have Wire to This Port
FEATURES OF THE BILL
Introduced in tho Senate by Senator Foster and Now Under Discusion in Committoe.

The bill of Senator Foster for the cons truttlon and operation by the United States of telegraphie cables between this country and the Philippines and Hawaiian Islands. Japan, Siberia and China, was Introduced Tn the senate on February I2. and after a second reading referred 10 the committee on naval affairs.
 Some reference to the measure has already been made In these columns from Washington correspondence, but the bill has now been received. and this shows that the connection of Alaska with the proposed cable Is not left for private enter prise. as in the bill introduced in the house by Congressman Jones, of Washington. The very first section of Senator Fosters bill recognizes the needs of Alaska. It reads:
 "Tha: there shall be constructed. maintained and operated by the United States, submarine cable or eaLles and connecting land lines from the United to the Philippine Islands, said cable to start from the coast of Washington and to be laid in the deep sea westward, via the Alaskan coast, with stations at suitable Intervals, aad short branch lines to Juneau and Skagwav and other Al skan com merclal eenters, to Dutch Harbor on Un' alaska Island, then north of the Aleutian islands to the island of Attu," etc.
 The construction is to b. in charge of a commission to be known as the P elfie Cable Commission, which Is to consist of the postmaster-generaI, the superintendent of coast and geodetic survey, an officer of the army. an officer of the navy and an experienced engineer from civil life, to be appointed by the president.
 For the purpose of carrying the act into effect half million dollars Is to be im- medlatelv available and an additional ap- propriatlon not to exceed six millions Is asked for the Ala.kan and Asia,ic branches of the cable.
 The cables are to be under the operation and control of the commission until com pleted, when they are to be transferred t' the postmaster>general who shall manage them in the interest of commerce and the people.

 "l wish the war h Boerland was over. It has tendency to make Brltishers re- serve their capital which might otherwise be seeking investment In Atlin and else where.

ANOTHER BRANCH OF
 HHE NEW TELEGRAPH
Will Run Direct From Ques-
 nelle to Fort Simpson
MIR. CHARLESON'S PLANS
The Line North VIII Connect With tho Great American Military Systsm of TolsEraphs to Nome.

Skagway Is to have the advantage of reports of progress of vessels at least once on their long journey of 1000 miles be- tween this port and the Sound. It Is to be secured through the construction of a branch line of the Atliu-Quesnelle to Port Simpson. The service will probably be started by the middle of the summer. This announcement comes from J. B. Charleston. superintendent of public works in the Yukon territory for the Dominion government, ,who Is inSkagwav on his way to AtlIn with a crew of line constructors.
 Mr. Charleston also announces that the Canadian Pacific railway Is to erect a direct wire from Vancouver to QueSnelle. This Is to get connection direct with the line 10 Dawson, and will obvlate the necessity of relaving the message at Ash croft.
 The Dominion government will also, according to MT. Charleston, extend its line from Dawson northward 90 miles to ,Cudahv. practically to the American boundary line, with the opening of Yukon navigation this year. This line will con- meet at Eagle with the great system of military telegraph lines the United States has just decided to build in northern AL aska, and which will have as the three cardinal point. In Its circuit Valdez, Eagle and Nome.
 Furthermore, the branch of 30 miles north from Dav son will give outlet to the world at large for that vast region north of Dawson, and which the American system will serve. Capt. Abererombie has already been dispatched by the United States gov emment to begin the Valdez-Eagle line.
 "These lnes." says Mir, Charleson, twill be among the greatest agencies in the development of this far northern eoun- try. am glad to hear the United States Is to build the northern Alaska line. We were In a position ere this 10 extend to the American oodH8sep -OeSSad Oa~son, bud deferred. Now that the Americans are to build a system north of US we will find two reasons for going to the boundary. First, to serve the north in humane way, and second 10 get the business that will be made tributary to our system. of course we shall also be tributary to the American line.
 'I am about to let the contract" says Mr. charleson, "for the construction of the branch line that will run into Port Slmp- son. It will be let soon, but it will probably be the middle of the summer or at least several months until the wire from Atlln will be far enough south to give Skagway connection with Port simpson. The branch will run down from Glenora, r7o miles. With this branch line and the main line completed, all steamers passing up and down the coast will be enabled bv appearing off the port to be reported by telegraph to all points north and south.
 "As t. the construction of the through main line, the work is to be divided among three elews, the largest of which will work north from QUesneIe. It will com comprise more than 100 men. The second
