At this point ex-Judge Titus came
over to the prisoner and bade him good

had been his counsel.
"Good-by," he said, weakly.
Czolgosz was then hurried downstairs

Although the time announced for con-

were clamoring outside for admission.
The doors were locked and no more
were admitted to the room.
The prisoner was taken into the room
at five minutes after 2. Five minutes
later Justice White took his place upon
the bench. As soon as Justice White
assumed the bench, Crier Hess said:

HAWAII'S CABLE IS
TO CONE IN SOON
The Rich Mackay Company Will Lay
the Local Line Within Nine
Months Time.

A LBANY IN. y. Sept. 2S-The
u Commercial Pacific Gable Com
d - pany, with capital stock of
$100, 600, was incorporated here today by
the following men: John W. Mackay,
Clarence H. Mackay. Edward C. Plat,
Albert Beck, George G. Ward, Albert
B. Chandler and William w Cock.
Respecting the purposes and pros
poets of the new company, Mr., Mackay
said today that the Commercial Pacific
Gable Company had been organized for
the purpose Of laying submarine cable
from California to the Philippine ISL
ands by way of Honolulu. The length
Of the cable will be about $500 miles,
the part to be first laid being California
to the Hawaiian Islands. This portion,
Mr.. Mackay expects, will be in opera
ton within nine months. The time re-
quired for the laying of the remainder
of the cable from the Hawaiian ISL
ands to the Philippine Islands will de-
pend upon how quickly the cable can
be made, but Mr.. Mackay believes the
whole cable will be completed within
two years from this date
On August 2Sd Mr.. Mackay made ap-
plication to the United States Govern
ment for landing rights in California
and the Hawaiian Islands and the Phil
ippine Islands. The new company. Mr.
Mackay announces. is willing to lay th'
cable on the same terms and condi
tions at San Francisco, Honolulu ant
Manila. SO far as landing rights ar
concerned, as We're imposed by tn

BUFFALO, September 2A-Czolgosz'
father, his brother, Waldeck, and his
sister arrived here tonight from Cleye-
land, and went to the police headouar-
ters. Later Superintendent Cusack an
nounced that he would have the family
undergo an examination. Prosecutor
Penney said that he did not send for the
prisoners family and that he did not
know of any reason why they should
come except to see the assassin. They
probably would be granted this permis-
sion before the sentence of death is an
nounced. The police discredt the story
that they came to Buffalo to make the
murderer reveal the alleged plot to kill
the President.
The father, brother and sister were put
through a rigid examination tonight by
Assistant District Attorney Haller in
the presence of Assistant superintendent
Cusack and Detectives Geary and Solo
mon of the police department. For an
hour and half they were under a
searching fire of questions, which result
ed in the information that they knew
nothing about the plot; that they came
from Cleveland to vindieate their own
name, and, If possible, to aid the author
tiles to secure from the prisoner some
reasons for his crime. They win spend
tonight at police headquarters. not as
prisoners, but in hope that the authori-
ties will permit them to see the prisoner
tomorrow. They expressed no sympathy
for his plight, and said their sole purpose
was to clear themselves and aid the au-
thorities, If possible.
ASSASSIN AND HIS RECORD
District Attorney Penney said:

fore II o'clock a regatta committee tug
measured off the 200 yards starting line
from the ship and signalled that the
course would be east by north, fifteen
miles straight into the eye OF the wind

toward the Long Island shore to Set

PREPARATORY SIGNAL GIVEN.
At five minutes before II o'clock the
preparatory signal for the race was

United States Government on the cable
lines which have been landed on the
Atlantic coast of the United States.
The new company does not ask any
subsidy or any guaranty, which Is Mr..
Mackay's reason for believing there will
2he no trouble in agreeing with the Gov
ernment on the terms and conditions
upon which the cable win be landed.
The new cable, when 1t reaches the
Philippines, will connect at that point
with the present submarine cable run
ming from the Philippines to Japan,
and also the cable running from the
Philippines to China. A direct cable
route from Japan and China to the
United States will be thus established.
Mr. Mackay says that the present cable
rates from the United States to the
Philippines and to China and Japan
will be reduced when the new cable is
laid from thirty to sixty per cent.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-President
Roosevelt has ample power to grant the
application of the Commercial Cable
Company for permission to lay cable
which shall connect California, Hawaii
and the Philippines.
This will be the opinion which the Of
Ificials of the Department of Justice will
render upon the papers of the CONNER
cial Cable Company now before them.
These papers were referred to the de-
partment by the Secretary of State.
Many officials today say that there are
lstrong precedents for Presidential ap-
proval of the Commercial Gable Com
lpany's application.
Before reading an opinion upon the
. application of the Commercial Gable
Company the department is examining
the laws to ascertain If there is any
special legislation affecting Hawaii and
the Philippines which will stop exec
: lutive approval of the application.

Outjockey the British
Yachtsmen,

in the half dozen fukes that preceded
the actual races two years ago. What
the Shamrock may be able to do in
heavy weather is, of course, problemati-
cal, but the Columbia has been tried
and all her admirers insist that she is
distinctly heavy weather boat.
Two years ago Sir Thomas PRAYER
was for wind, but when he got a smash
ing twenty-five knot gale in the last
race the Columbia's victory was even
more decisive than in the first Since
then the Columbia's ability in heavy
weather has been proven again and
again. The harder it blows the faster
she goes and the better she behaves.
1t Is not strange, therefore, that the
patriotic shippers and spectators who
went down to Sandy Hook this morn
ing with mfsgivings returned tonight

Preparations for the reception of the

made on the Thames embankment
race.

by the number of bets in favor Of the
Shamrock II, even when bulletins an

At the Temple Yacht Club Associa-

subterfuges were resorted to by the
