Connected.

Connected.
Telegraph work is being pushed ac-
lively in Alaska, which will soon have
communication with the world at large
through its telegraphs. and with Skag-
way early next spring. 1t is proposed
to use the Edison phonopleX system,
laying "a cable from Juneau to Skag-
way, a distance of 100 miles, over
which the phonopleX will work salts
factorily. An appropriation of S4oO,
600 has also been made by the Cana
dian government for the purpose of
stringlng a wire from Quesnelle, on
the Fraser river 200 miles north of
Ashcroft, b. c., to Atlin. Cords of
wood are now piled up at the place
and two gangs are soon to be put to
work from one end of each section.
w hen they meet and join wires. which
may be in the fall, Skagway, Juneau
and Dawson will cease to be isolated,
and be practically as close to New
York and London as Tacoma and San
Francisco The most interesting fact
of the new Installation Is that 1t likely
will use several hundreds of miles of
the old telegraph trail and survey,
which was Jay Gould's Western Union
scheme to put an overland wire
through Siberia to st. Petersburg and
Europe. Most of the old telegraphers
remember that this road was brought
to Il sudden stop by the receipt of the
news in this country that Cyrus Field
had completed n cable across the At
lantic. Many tons of wire We're left on
the ground and 1t is there yet.

RUSSIAN ACTIVITY.
Il Excltes a Good Deal Of Attention
In England.

LONDON, March 31.-Russian activ-
ity has been the international factor
OF tie week, and diplomatic function
aries attached to the court of st. James
are asking themselves. What does 1t
all mean and where will IL end?"
The Russian ambassador smiles
blandly and assures his dear friends
that it means nothing. absolutely
nothing" but just the same speculation
is acute. IneIe are many h.vn "a idir
standing and tolerable knowledge or
internal undercurrents who are Wiling
to say that war between Russia ana
Japan has now come within measurable
distance. OF these Henry Norman, who
has Just returned from trip TO Rus
STA, Is one. But the Associated Press
learns that no such view Is taken by
the British Foreign Office, which during
the recent troublous times has sized up
the international situation with won
derful correctness.
The next few weeks may, perhaps,
bring up a tremendous war scare, Dut
the salient fact remains that Japan Is
not ready for hostilities. Alarming
kilograms from the Far East may in
crease and multiply and Korea may
seem to be on the verge of annexation
by Russia, but the calm of Downing
street is not likely to be disturbed.
Korean matters have been arranged
by treaty and Lord Salisbury does not
believe that Russia intends to break
the treaties, though her relations with
Japan may become strained to serious
point.
IL all this rumpus in the Far East
had been postponed for another year
there is scarcely any doubt that war
would be a serious probability, but
those having any intimate knowledge
of Japan's far-reaching naval projects
and her recent state of incompleteness
do not hesitate to say that Japan is not
going to risk anything until her plans
are matured.
Japanese naval maneuvers in the
coming fall are to be carried out on an
unprecedented scale and will partake
more of the nature of a demonstration
than of peaceful evolutions. Forty or
more war vessels are expected to be
present in Japanese waters. The moral
effect of such an aggregation upon Far
Eastern questions is causing no little
comment

corn to New York and another COM
mlttee to arrange for three Govern
ment ships to transport the corn to
India.

Morales and Gonzalez were convict
ed by a military commission of the

from Manila show that the sentence
was carried into effect. No official re-
port Of the cases has been received at
the War Department and 1t is stated
that General Otis has acted entirely on
his own responsibility in the matter
under the authority conferred by the
articles of war. There have been sew
eral cases where the death penalty
was imposed by military tribunals.

where the death sentence was carried
into effect. All the previous cases
