CABLES BETWEEN FORTS.
Long Island Sound Projections to BE
Connected by wire

NEW LONDON, Conn. Nov 25.-Plum.
Gardeners and Gull Islands. located at
the eastern entrancet to Long Island Sound
have recently had fortiications erected
upon them by the Government. and now
the Islands are to be connected with the
mainland by cable
Gen. A. W. Greely. who is at the head
of the United States Signal Corps. and
Col. H. c. Dunwoody. of the same corps.
are here to supervise the preliminary
work. After the work has begun it will
be under the personal supervision of
Colonel Dunwoody.
The cable--about twenty miles of it's
on board barge at a wharf here. II is
proposed to begin operations by landing
one end of the heaviest cable at Gull ISL
and ana stretch the wire to a landing
place in the vicinity of the New London
lighthouse. The deepest spot between this
city and Gull Island is fifty fathoms. at a
point about half way from Bartlett's Reef
light vessel to Gull Island.
After the cable between this city and
Gull Island is laid the r.ext smallest ca
bic will be stretched between Gull Island
and Plum Island, and then. that operation
safely accomplished, the smallest Of the
cables viii be stretched from Plum Island
to Gardeners Island
After the submarine wires are laid the
islands will be in instant communication
with the mainland, and this will consid-
er1bly strengthen these fortiications from
a strategic point of view.

PROTEST FROM VENEZUELA.
Republic Failed so Get "a Pun-Ameri-
can Chairmanship.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 25.-At the in
formal session of the Pan American Con-
ference today Senior Gil Fortoul. of Ven
ezuela, sprung little sensation Presi-
dent Raigosa had announced the order of
the day for the Wednesday session and
/ declared todays session adjourned when
Senior Gil Fortoul called attention to the
original understanding that the organi-
zation of committees should give a chair
manship to each delegation
He wanted to enquire whether this had
been done. A reading of the committees
showed that the Mexlcans held two chair
manships and Venezuela none. with sew
eral unreported as to organization Senior
Sanchez Marmol of Mexico. thereupon Of
fered to resign his chairmanship in favor
of Senor Galvez. of Venezuela.
OF course Senior Gil Fortoul refused.
saying that he called attention to the
violation Of the arrangement merely be-
cause 1t was violation. He had no per-
sonal feeling IN the matter and it was
entirely impossible to accept the substi-
tuition proposed by the distinguished dele
eAtC II jim -hSNAND- VI ulHiStll ne lHLtuu-
ed hereafter to attend only the meetings
of the arbitration committee.
President Raigosa explained that COM
mittees had been appointed alphabetically
and that neither the Mexican delegates
nor the president of the conference had
anything to do with the chairmanships.
He therefore refused to accept Sanchez
Marmol's resignation.
Senior Carlo. who holds two chairman
ships by virtue of representing San Do
mingo as well as Ecuador. said it was
quite out of the question that the con-
ference should attempt to dispense with
the intelligent cooperation of Venezuela
and that it was certainly an error that
Venezuela had been omitted from the list
of committee chairmanships.
1t was easy for the conference to rem
edy this and he hoped Venezuela would
enter heartily and completely into the
work. Senior Carbo suggested that the
problem could be easily solved In organ
izing the committees which had not yet
selected chairmen. He added that Co
lombia was also left out and Senor Matte
said that, as there was evidently no in
tention to offend. the committees should
be allowed to settle the complications
President Raigosa asked the other COM
mittees to report organization and left
the matter as it stood by adiourning the
conference until Wednesday.

MAY PAY COPPER DIVIDEND.
Boston and Montana Company Part
Iy Freed From injunction.

HELENA, Mon, Nov. 25.-Judge Hiram
Knowles. of the United States Court, to-
day partially dissolved the Injunction Sc
cured by John MaeGinniss TO restrain the
Boston and Montana Company from sell
ing out to the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany, and from the payment of dividends
due.
The Boston and Montana Company was
required to furnish a bond for S1,501 coo.
Judge Knowles dissolved the restraining
order so far as it prevented the payment
of dividends The dividend to be paid
amounts to about s1,50O,G Coo. Judge
Knowles, in dissolving the Injunction and
requiring a bond of the Boston AMI Mon
tana Company, as prayed for in the mo-
ton. stated that he believed it proper to
fix the bond of the company at an amount
equal to the amount of dividends to be
paid.
He believed the stockholders were en-
titled to that protection. The Boston and
Montana Company will be given ten days
in which TO furnish the tonds.
In response to an enquiry from Mr..
Shares, representing the defendant COM
pany Judge Knowles stated that it was
customary in furnishing bonds of this
character for the company to qualify in
double the amount of the bond. The Bos-
ton and Montana Company will therefore
qualify in the sum of So, coo coo.
A. J. Shares presented the matter to the
court, stating that his clients would fur
nish bond if the injunction could be dis
solved so far as it prevented the Bos
ton and Montana Company from paying
dividends.

Tte President and the west.

The manner in which President
Roosevelt talked about irrigation of
Western arid lands TO Representative
Burkett of Nebraska yesterday is an
earnest Of his general attitude toward
the trans Mississippi States. The Presi
dent is credited with saying that he
believes in Government aid for irriga-
tion. if harmonious plan can be de-
vised
There has never been an Executive
Of late years who had so intimate
knowledge Of the West and so vital a
belief in its future as President Roose-
welt. In fact, few men in official life,
outside Of those who belong there, know
as much as he about that country.
The Congressman who represent it
have found a sympathetic knowledge
Of conditions when they have called
at the White House to present their
claims.
This has been most grateful to the
Western legislators. Naturally they are
filled with hope. They have arrived at
a uvelier sense Of their Importance
They realize that they have greater
chances to do things for their people
than have ever been afforded them. OF
course, President Roosevelt is a fair
man and just, but there is no doubt
that he loves the West Its bigness, its
freedom. lis geniality, its strength and
energy appeal 10 him and he is bound
10 help it grow if he can.
II is a good thing for the West, and
for the whole country. There was
time. and not so long ago, when sec
ti0nal feeling was strong. The Spanish
American war and the prosperity Of
the land swept 1t away But anything
that promotes the national spirit, that
bring as in closer and more sympa-
thetic relationship. is bound to make US
stronger and better as a people.

UnmiIitary SqunbbIes.

Recent attempts to enforce the strict
regulations OF the regular army upon the
Swiss militia aroused opposition in that
body that amounted to mutiny, but was
wisely ignored by the officers. The non

WICHITA, Kan, Nov 25.-Henry Hills.
Kansas agent for the Colonial and United
States Mortgage Company of England. IS
making arrangements to bring to Kan
sas many young sons of wealthy parents
and of poor members of the nobility, who
are to be appTenticed to farmers and
taught how to raise wheat and corn.
1t is the intention of the company to
locate these men on land owned by their
parents, purchased during the boom of
years ago. when Kansas lands were ad
yertised in London daily papers as
extensively as in New York.
About forty young Englishmen are now
en- route here. Their parents think it
not only a good scheme TO get their idle
sons to work. but will enable them to
get money ont of large tracts that have
been lying idle.
Colonies of these Englishmen are to
be established in Logan, Finney, and Co
manche Counties. Some of the members
Of the English Parliament are owners
