HEARINGS COMPLETED.
Western Union Officials Oppose Com
merciaI Cable Concession.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Thomas H.
Clark, vice president of the Western
Union Telegraph company, and Rush
Taggart, solicitor of the company were
heard today by the house committee on
insular affairs in opposition to the bill
to give the Commercial Gable Company Of
Cuba the rights Of landing cable on the
island. Mr.. Clark presented the conces-
sions, held by the Western Union COM
pany, maintained their regularity and
the privileges they contained. Mr.. Tag
CART said the exclusive rights of, the com
pany in Cuba were protected by the
treaty Of peace with Spain, and the ex-
elusive grants by Spain were continuous
and in full force.
The Commercial Cable company was
represented by Mr.. George Clapperton,
assistant general manager; W. s. Cook
general counsel; ex-senator Butler and
Col. T. P. Ochiltree. Mr.. Cook in be-
half of the company, maintained that the
franchise under which the Western Union
claims exclusive rights to lay and oper-
ate a cable to Cuba was irregularly Sc
cured from Spain, under a mistaken i'm
preston of facts by the Spanish authori-
ties, and that 1t was a monopoly, which
could not claim protection under the
treaty of peace. The United States, he
said, had set aside number of exclu-
sive grants made by Spain on the ground
that they were oppressive.
The hearings are now completed The
committee will consider its course at a
later meeting. -..t+

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-With his right arm
helpless after the first round. Harry
Forbes by constant left-hand jabbing,
managed to stand Maurice Rauch off for
six rounds tonight, at the Fort Dearborn
Athletic club, and the referee called it
q draw.
In the first round Forbes essayed Nc
Governs style of playing for his oppo-
nent's stomach. He had the best of the
fight while pursuing McGovern's tactics,
but in one of the mix-ups his right arm,
which was injured in his fight with Young
Sinister, in New York, two weeks ago,
became useless, and he had to depend
upon his left for the rest of the fight.
Rauch tried hard to land Knockout, but
Forbes was too fast for him, and jabb I'd
him groggy in the fourth round. Rauch
had a shade the best of it in the last two
rounds, and landed some telling swings
to the head. 1t was fast fight from
start to finish. They met at 115 pounds,

In one of the preliminaries Ed Morris,
Of San Francisco, was knocked out in one
round by Shorty Ahearn, of Chicago.

WASHINGTON. JAM i26.-Supt. White,
of the railway mail service, said today
that the United States officials, when
they learned Of the prevalence Of small
pox at Spokane, had directed that all
mail leaving that place be disinfeeted,
but as the disease had not appeared be-
tween Spokane and the Canadian border,
1T was not considered necessary to; fumf
gate the mall after iteleft the infected
city. 1t was. directed however, that it
be disinfected. but, they had no fumi-
eating apparatus, SO it, could not be put
into immediate effect. 1t was also di-
rected that all mail going through Spo-
kane be held for fumigating. g.s
1t is said by the officials here that if
the Canadian postofice authorities de-
sire the mall disinfected at the border
they should attend to it>themselves. All
the mail in question is addressed to resi-
dents of British Columbia, and some of
it originated in Canada itself
