WANTS A COMPLETE CABLE.
Attorney General Sees Advantage of
Having One to China.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox had long conference with
President Roosevelt day in regard to
the application of the Pacific CONNER
cial Gable Company to lay cable
from the United States to the Philip
pines by way of Hawaii and Guam.
Mr.. Knox advised the President to take
no action at present, but to await fur
Their information as to the purpose of
the company after it's cable was COM
pleted to the Philippines. It IS deemed
desirable to know whether it would eX-
tend it's own line to China or would
make some arrangement with the Eng
lish company that has already cable
from Hong Kong to- Manila. The At
torney General regarded it as very inn
portant that there should be a COM
plete line from the United States to
the Philippines and the continent of
Asia, as in case of war Ii might be
necessary for the United States not
only to control a cable line to the
Philippines, but also to control a line
from the Philippines to China or Some
other point in Asia.
The matter of the Spanish concession
granted in 1898 to the English company
giving it an extensive franchise for, ca
BILE connections in the Philippines was
carefully considered. Attorney General
Knox advised the President that this
exclusive franchise would not hold. he
cited the recent action by the Trans
vaal commission, which held that the
concessions granted by the Boer gov
eminent in the Transvaal would not be
recognized as valid by the British gov
eminent

THE TREASURY IS UPHELD.
Circuit Court Sustains MIR. Cages
View of Russian Sugar Bounty.

Circuit Court Sustains Mr.. Cages
View of Russian Sugar Bounty.
Baltimore, Oct. 12.-Judge Morris Of
the United States Circuit Court to-
day handed down his decision in the
Russian sugar bounty cases, upholding
the action of Collector Stone in levy
ing an extra tariff duty of 20 cents
hundred pounds on sugar imported to
this country from Russia by Robert
Downs, commission merchant of this
city.
Mr.. Stones action was taken in &C
cordance with circular order of the
Treasury Department, dated Dee. IL,
1898 which levied this additional duty,
claiming that the Russian government
allowed a bounty of that amount.
The attorney for Mr.. Downs, in his
argument before Judge Morris claimed
that Russia paid no bounty on sugar,
and that the legislation in that coun-
try which gave rise to the action of
the Treasury Department was simply
an attempt to avoid the evils of over
production.
To do this 1t was enacted that all
sugar produced above a prescribed
amount should be taxed double. This
prescribed amount is distributed among
the different manufacturers proper
Tomato to their total production. Sea-
port manufacturers in the practical OPP
Grafton of the law are allowed to ex
change their surplus sugar for an equal
amount of the free sugar of an inland
manufacturer without the goods pass
ing.
The district attorney for the govern
ment argued that the Russian govern
ment practically said to its manufac-
turers: THE more sugar you produce
the more you may sell at home" and
gave to every exporter certificate
which had a market value ON tho ex-
changes of cents pound; and that
this was virtually a bounty on ex-
ported suParS.

HAMPTON WOULD ACCEPT.
Such Is the Belief of His Friends in
South Carolina.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 12.--Gen. Wade
Hampton will accept the Office of
United States senator if the people
offer it to him. He win say nothing
that might indicate that he is a can
didate for the place-he is not-and his
determination expressed eleven years
ago, never to ask his people for any
thing again, is mistaken; but II his
people show a desire to do him honor
1t is safe to say that it will give the
old General great happiness to accept
an expression of their renewed love.
The suggestion of State Chairman
Jones that all the candidates for the
United States senatorship withdraw
and leave the road clear for the people
to unanimously tender the place to
Gen. Hampton has met with remark
able degree of popular approval. Sem
ator McLaurin will not express himself
in regard to it at this time. If the
other candidates express willingness
to retire in Hampton's favor, Con-
gresham Lattimer could not afford to
maintain his present position. To
stand against Col. Jones proposition
when the sentiment of the people is
overwhelming for Hampton would be
political suicide, even if Hampton did
not take the place.
The objections urged against the
proposition to send Gen. Hampton to
the senate are, first, that he is too old
and, second, that Senator Tlllman is
back of the scheme. If elected the
General will be the Oldest man ever
sent to congress. He would be SO
years old when he takes his seat. But
Hampton is not infirm. Just now he
is in better health than for years. He

FUTURE OF CHINA.

Autonomy OF the Empire Depends
ON the Honesty of Public Omcers.
From the Shanghai Mercury.
The law of evolution is found in his
tory as 1t is in nature. The forms it
takes are various, for there is an evo-
luton in political events which leads
thousand journalists to believe they
can foresee the future. There is also
an evolution in mental and physical
tendencies and this comes with the
blood. Men of one clan, one village.
one nation, have common tendencies.
There is village in Shantung where
all the people stammer in their speech;
this is partly initiative and partly he
reditary. A recent writer says: ave
are all creators Of the future" II so,
then II is possible to improve the fu-
ture nf the Chinese race.
Plato taught that the images of all
material things were in existence be-
fore the things themselves. They were
in the divine mind before the creative
act. The path to the knowledge of the
world lies in the study Of ourselves. In
the case of Plato. method led to the
formation of philosophy which has
been ever since his day a source OF
fruitful suggestion to politicians, 20
theologians, TO thinkers of all grades,
and which has enriched the writings
Of a ceaseless succession of authors.
There is no doubt that the literature,
the history and the actual character
istics of the modern Chinese deserve
careful study. II we would foresee cor
rectly what will be the course of their
subsequent history.
The Chinese are not a military peo-
pie. but they are capable OF discipline.
They can obey, but they cannot COM
mand. Their characteristics are liter
airy rather than warlike. Their quail
ties are conservative rather than pro-
gressive. They love the past and take
great pleasure and show remarkable
activity In preserving its records. There
Is nothing which they feel more desir-
Gus Of UNFOLDING than respect for the
dead. BY funeral honors paid to the
men Of old time they show what an
unquenchable zeal they possess for the
preservation of the memory of the
past. BY the worship of ancestors the
Chinese indicate their sense OF unbrok-
en- union with bygone times BY their
histories they carry into futurity the
events OF to-day.

The Fall Fashions Will

1hey Will Resemble the Modes That Have Been in
Vogue During the Late Summer

| this season has been the exception
which has proven the rule, and the
styles of this memorable summer will
abide with us yet few weeks.
followed the great mans advice and
did look about me, and here are some
OF the things I saw that may serve as
models in style though not in materials
for early fall gowns: One was pat
termed gown for evening wear of cream
silk batiste set in with lace applique.
The graceful skirt had a pattern of
lace down the front forming panel.
The center of this panel was filled
with beautiful design in madd;sns
lace. This same lace pattern extend ed
around the skirt for some distance, be-
ing put in large VS.. The draped bodice
was of batiste and had wee pufings of
white chiffon in a rounded decollete
falling over the shoulders, and large
yellow velvet peoples with black CEN
tiers at the left side. There was deep
girdle of soft yellow silk with long
ends and finished with deep fringe at
the waist line.
Another that saw was an afternoon
gown of sky blue crepon with ecru
guipure lace. The skirt was made with
very firm tucks over the hips, and with
very large tucks at the back. These
large tucks were stitched half way
down. The broad center tuck in the
back was covered with deep band Of
guipure insertion extending from the
waist line to the hem of the skirt. The
bottom of the skirt in front is finished
with tucks, and band of the guipure
insertion. The blouse is of tucked
crepon. The deep yoke and the upper
part of the sleeves were Of all-over
guipure. Down the front of the bodice
are ruffles of white chiffon, and the
sleeves below the guipure are of white
crepon, caught in lace cuff.
Another gown for afternoon wear
was dainty affair of white muslin,
trimmed with fine lace and chiffon. It
is made princess with tucked vest
of the muslin with deep lace on either
side and forming sailor collar at the
back. There was wide band of lace
