Settle the Case nsG0urt.
Ex-senator Frank Hiseoek, representing
the Warner-Quinlan asphalt syndicate was
again at the State Department today in
connection with the presentation of that
concerns side of the controversy over the
asphalt concessions in Venezuela. Secre-
tary Hay has accorded a personal hearing
to Mr.. Hiscock and the matter is again be-
fore Solicitor Penfield for consideration.
The State Department has decided to main
tain an attitude Of exact neutrality as be-
tween the claims Of the two companies.
Accordingly Mr. Loomis has been instruct
ed not to adopt any threatening tone in his
presentations to the Venezuelan govern
ment on this subject; not to indicate pur-
pose to employ military or naval force in
the interests of either party to the contro-
versy, but simply to ask in the usual diplo-
matte manner that the parties be allowed to
settle their quarrels before the judicial
tribunals of Venezuela. He will protest,
by direction Of the State Department,
against any abridgments by the Venezuelan
executive of the rights of these American
claimants, but this protest will be with
simple purpose of bastng future reclama-
tionS.
General Francis " Greene also appeared
before Judge Penfield this morning to look
after the interests Of the New York and
Bermudez Company, and he was an inter-
ested listener to Mr.. Hiscock's argument.
The two indulged in q colloquy charac-
terized by some warmth of expression, the
outcome of which was a disclosure OF the
reject any offers Of compromise and to go
on working their concession in defiance 'of
even forcibe measures on the part of the
opposition.

A NSPACIFiC CABLE
1T WILL EXTEND FROM VANCOUVER
TO AUSTRALIA.
Great Britain and Canada Will De-
fray Ffve-Ninths of the Cost,
Which is Estimated at $9,72S.l33.

United States Consul General Bray at
melbourne, Australia, has informed the
department of State that the tender of
the Telegraph Construction and Mainte-
nance Company Of London in the laying
OF British Pacific cable has been accept
ed, according to an announcement made by
the postmaster general Of Victoria. The
cable proper is to cost So. .735, 1867, and the
installation and surveying will involve an
expenditure of S992, ,766, making the total
cost of the cable complete, 50, 72S, 1873. Great
Britain and Canada have agreed to defray
hVe-nlnths of the total cost; New Zeal
and, one-eighth. and New South Wales,
Queensland and Victoria have pledged
themselves to contribute the remainder be-
tween them. The line is to be completed
and in working order by the 31st of July.
l302 provided the company is allowed to
start laying the Australian section first
Ihls section comprises cables from the
New South Wales and New Zealand coasts
TO Norfolk Island, which lies about mid
way between them, and thence to Fiji
The route in Its entirety as decided upon
is from Vancouver British Columbia, via
RAINING or Palmyra Island, lying south of
HAWAII, to Fiji, and thence to Norfolk Is
land, with branches from the last-named
station to Auckland. New Zealand, and to
Queensland, Australia. The length of the
cable over this route would be, allowing
10 per cent for slack actually used,
1886 nautical miles, as follows: Vancouver
to Tanning Island, 1861 miles; Tanning
Island to Fiji, 2,093 miles; Fiji to Norfolk
Island, 961 miles; Norfolk Island to Auck-
land, 537 miles. and Norfolk Island to
Queensland. S34 miles.
Some 1900 soundings over 800 fathoms in
depth are said to have been made already.
which relate directly to the route along
the bed of the. ocean. the greatest depth
being 5000 fathoms, but the general aver
age much less. 1t is estimated that with
the use Of $50 pounds Of copper and 400
pounds of gutta percha, 1900 words
might be transmitted in year.
AS to the revenues to be derived from
the cable, it is anticipated that the returns
for the first year on tariff of two shil-
lings or forty-nine cents word, will be
$534,376 and that by its fourth year Of
working the cable will become a paying
concern. 1t is proposed to charge three
shilings or seventy-three cents a word for

Canada and the Atlantic, in addition to
the Pacific-and two shillings. or forty

SEAL HUNTING.

Information Received as to Farming
Out Privileges Next Month.
The Secretary of the Treasury has been
advised that during the month Of February
the farming out Of the seal hunting on the
Commander and Walrus Islands, in the
Arctic seas, will take place at Khabarovsk.
in east Siberia, Russia. in which enter
prise many English companies are said to
be interested. 1t is doubtful. 1t is said
whether the proposed disposition of this
crown property will bring the price it
formerly did. in view of the enormous de-
struction of seal life during the past ten
years, which has greatly decreased the
catch.
The governor Of east Siberia has reported
that in 1880 the number of seals caught on
the Commander Islands was 54.591; in 1892
only 10000 were caught; in 1893 the total
was 25,O0O. in 1898 the number was 1925.
and last year only about 1000 skins were
secured.
The situation Is said to be the same as
regards the catch on Walrus Island. At the
beginning OF the nineties the yearly catch
was 1900 1t Is now only about 800. The
treasury officials believe that the time is
fast approaching when the fur seal will be
almost extinct in the region referred to.

SIZE AND WEIGHT OF CARS.
Comm fssfOner Ross to Draft n Substf-
tute for Senate Bill.


tute for Senate Bill.
At a board meeting today Of the District
Commissioners Commissioner Ross was
requested to draft substitute for Senate
bill 5349, to regulate the size, weight. equip
ment and speed of cars on the Metropolitan
railroad between Lincoln Park and Both
street west. This bill Is identical with
House bill 13O75, and provides, among other
things, that no car shall be run on the line
between the points mentioned Of more than
nine tons in weight. etc.
Since the hearing accorded recently to in
terested citizens, the Commissioners have
been giving the matter very careful con-
sideration, and 1t is understood they have
coEcluhed that the heavy cars mentioned
and the excessive speed at which 1t is al
legged they are run in the city should no
longer be continued. Therefore, 1t is said
that the Commissioners agreed that a bill
similar to those mentioned should be en-
acted. 1t Is understood that the substitute
measure as prepared by Commissioner Ross
will require not only the Metropolitan, but
all other street railroad companies to dis
continue, six months after the passage of
the bill, the operation of cars of more than
ten tons in weight on their respective lines
within the city limits, except under such
conditions as may be prescribed by the
Comm ssioners.
The substitute bill, 1t is expected, will
permit the heavy suburban cars to run to
the central Sections of the city, provided
their speed shall not exceed a rate to be
fixed by the Commissioners. This rate, it
is understood, will be such as will prevent
complaint from citizens along the lines of
the roads.
1t is said that while the Commissioners
fully sympathize with the citizens who
have complained against these heavy cars
and their excessive speed and equipment,
they feel that to make unlawful the oper-
alton of such cars within the city limits
Immediately upon the passage of the bill
would be unfair to the railroad companies,
and would no doubt result in serious in
convenience to the travelling public.

STEPS TAKEN ny The WAR DE-
pARrMENr.f
Account of the Sftna tf0n Telegraph d
to the Atf0Fney General-Cav-
airy to Re Sent.

At the instance Of the Attorney General,
the War Department today took steps for
the preservation of law and order at Mus
kcgee, l. T., where the Snake Indians are
making trouble for the authorities. An ac-
count of the situation IS contained in the
following telegram RECEIVED by the Attorney
General from United States Marshal Ben
nett, dated at Muskogee yesterday:
referring to my two letters to you dated
November B, the Snake band of outlaws has
organized into several sections with about
fifty well-armed men in each They are
travelling the country between Eufaula and
Wetumka and between Deepfork and South
Canadian rivers, intimidating the people.
Have publicly whipped several, have killed
at least one and generally are terrorizing
the people. They have organized in open
rebellion against the constituted authori-
ties, and have destroyed several hundred
allotment certificates issued to Creek In
dians by Dawes commission. They threaten
death to all who oppose them, and it is not
possible by ordinary means to serve war
rants now in hands of my deputies. My
judgment prompts earnest recommenda ton
that troop of cavalry, though numbering
but fifty will have more moral effect in
overa wing these outlaws than a hundred
deputies and If such troops are sent into
interior from either Eufaula or Wetumka
to cooperate with small force of deputies

a day for ten days or longer, as it will re-
quire not less than fifteen deputies and forty
possemen and may require force of hun
dred men, whom l will personally lead and
direct. Should the bands combine for re-
sistance, which they will undoubtedly do,
there will necessarily result much blood
shed and the loss of many lives. This can
probably be avoided by use of cavalry Es-

Although the military authorities do not
regard the situation as serious it is prob
able that as measure Of precaution the re-
quest of the marshal will be Immediately
complied with. The nearest available troops
are Troop of the Sth Cavalry at Fort
Reno, Okl., and Troop c of the same regi-
ment at Fort Sill, Okl. One Of these troops
will be dispatched to the scene of the trou-
BILE without delay to assist the civil authori-
ties in the maintenance of order.

CASTELLANE SUIT DECIDED,
The TransactiOns With Wertheimer r
Divided Into Three Series

PARIS, January 23.-The first civil
tribunal of the Seine has decided the suit
of the Count and Countess de Castelane
against Wertheimer. the bric-a-brac deal
er. by dividing the transactions into three
series. In the first 1t is declared that the
exchanges and purchases were freely
agreed to and in good faith and, therefore,
could not now be modified.
The second SERIES comprising the ex-
changes, is regarded as liable to the sus-
picion of usury, and the court, therefore.
has appointed three experts to appraise
the articles, final judgment being given af-
ter their report.
In the third series. concerning art works
belonging to Count Boni de Castellane, sold
by Wertheimer, the court declares the
transaction holds good, but calls on Wer-
theimer to submit proof of the sale in
order to show he did not realize illegiti-
mate profit.

signed to Duty in the Philippines.

General William Ludlow, now in this city
on special duty in connection with the for
mutation Of plan for the establishment Of
military war college. will probably soon
be assigned to more active duty In the
Philippines. Nearly all the general officers
in the Philippines have been on arduous
field duty for about two years. and the
feeling prevails at the. War Department
that they are now entitled. to a short vaca
ton sufficiently long to enable them to re-
turn to the United Stats to visit their
families and recuperate. Tentative plans
for their relief are under; consideration at
the War Department, and the result will
become known in the. course Of few
weeks. General Ludlow Is only one of
number of general officers available for
change Of duty, and no surprise will be
felt If several Of them are shortly assigned
to duty in the Philippines
