FOR THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Secretary Long and Admiral bradford APP
pear Before Senate Committee aud
Advocate Ita Construction.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Secrctary
Long and Rear Admiral Bradford mp
pearcd before the senate committee on
naval affairs in advocacy of the con-
struction OF a Pacific cable by the
government. Rear Admiral Bradford
detailed the operations of the collier
Nero, which is now engaged in maxi
ing n preliminary survey of the pro-
posed line west of Honolulu. Accord
ing to the reports made of the pre-
liminary work the proposed cable was
entirely practicable. 1t is to run
from San Francisco to Honolulu. then
via the Midway islands and Guam to
Dingapla bay, island of Luzon, with q
spur for commercial purposes to Io-
kohama. The average depth between
Honolulu and Midway is 200 faith
oms, between Midway and Guam 1900
and between Guam and Luzon $500.
He estimated the cost ut $1,000 per
knot, which. with the amount neces-
sary for steamers, officers. etc.,
would bring the cost up to S1O,OOO,0tO.
He placed the entire length OF the
cable ut s,294 knots, which allows 20
per cent. for slack and dctours.
In connection with his statement,
Admiral Bradford said that he under
stood the average expenses Of the war
department for messages to Manila 20
he about $1,000 per day and that the
total of the Expenditures of the nary
department had amounted TO S26,0u0.

'T have Just finished" said the struggling
young author, another storage warehouse
for returned manuscripts, this being OF the

four stories high, and, also like the other,
fireproof. / find it cheaper to build that
way and insure myself. 1t costs Little
more, Of course, to make the structure fire,

has been as yet no widespread general de-
mand for the productions of my pen; and,
IL you should, your inference would be quite
correct; indeed, such unanimity Of sentS'
ment as appears seems to take the form
Of rigidly observed neutrality, with the re-
suit that my second warehouse has already
begun to fill rapidly.
"But have still no fear Of the outcome;
else, should throw away these manuscripts
instead Of storing them; but as 1t Is think
am simply putting down q gold mine.
Then why doesn't somebody see at least
4 color in these manuscripts now! Wen,
/ don't know; you can't always tell about
those things, but some day the gold is dis

gHOCKING gRAeE4Y.
a Fourth VIII Probably Die and Fifth
Was Notwithstanding Occurred In .
Crowded Hotel at Frankfort
Rosult Of Feud.

Franlsforty KY, Jan, 17s--A shock
ing tragedy in which the lives Of
three prominent men werc sacrificed
and that Of fourth hangs by slen-
der thread, while two others mirac-
ulously escaped with painful injuries,
occurred here ut one o'clock yester-
day. The principals in the tragedy
were ex-Congrcssman David G. Col
son, of Mildlesboro, and Lieut.. Ethel
bert Scott, of Somerset. Scott was
shot six times by Colson and almost
Instantly killed. Luther W. Demar-
rec, assistant postmaster ut Shelby
VILE, IN innocent bystander, was shot
three times and died instantly.
Charles Julian, another bystander,
was shot and died half an hour later,
and Capt. d. d. Golden, of Barbours-
vile, commonwealth attorney Of the
Twenty-seventh judicial district, was
shot in the back and was not expected
to survive the night. Col. Colson him
self was shot twice in the arm.
Harry McEwing, of Louisville, sus-
tanned broken leg by the lifeless
form of Scott falling against him us
II rolled down the stairway. The
tragedy is one of the most scnsa-
tional in the history Of "the dark and
bloody ground" and was the result OF
O feud between Colson and Scott.
The killing occurred in the lobby OF
the Capitol hotel. the principal hostel
cry of the state capital, the room be-
ing well filed Mt the time with politi-
clans and others who are here attend
ing the contests for state offices be-
fore the Legislature.
Fifteen shots went home in the
tragedy yesterday. When it is re-
membered that 80 far as known only
three rcvolvcrs played a part in the
duel IL can be seen that aim was
for the most part accurate. Colson's
shots We're true. but this detracts
nothing from the noted skill of Scott,
because he emptied his revolver after
several bullets had lodged in him.
Following Is the record OF the
marksmen: Scott, bullet in temple,
one in throat, two in lungs, two in
back. Demarree, two in heart.
Julian, bullet in cnlf right leg. Capt.
Golden, two bullets in spine. Colson,
bullet splintered left wrist to elbow,
bullets tore his cuffs and sleeves to
shreds. Nobody not in line of fire
was touched.
The death OF Julian is most remark
able. He walked to his room unaided.
His cousin, Judge Ira Julian, exam
med the wound and congratulated him
on his escape. Doctors were busy
with the dying and Julian waited.
He was bleeding to death, however,
and when the doctors turned attcn-
ton to him he was past recovery.
