Will SPAN The PACIFIC

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 23.-The Com
mercial Gable company with a CAPT
tai stock of 100000 was incorporated
here today by the following gentle
men: John w. MacKay, Clearance H.
MacKay, Edward G. Platt, Albert
Beck, Geo. c. Ward, Albert B. Chand-
Ter and VIM. w. Cook.
Respecting the purposes and pros
poets of the new company MI. Mac
Kay said today that the Commercial
Cable company had been organized
for the purpose Of laying a submarine
cable from California to the Philip
pine islands via Honolulu in the Ha-
waiian islands. The length of the
cable will be about $500 miles, the
part to be first laid being from Cal.
ifornia to the Hawaiian islands. This
portion, Mr.. Mackay expects, will be
in operation within nine months. The
time required for the laying of the
remainder of the cable from the Ha-
waiian islands to the Philippine is
lands will depend on how quickly the
cable a be made, but Mr.. MacKay
believes the whole cable will be COM
pleted within two years from this
date.

Anarchists Liberated.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Nine anarchists
who have been under arrest here
since the assassination of President
Mckinley, were today given their
freedom. Judge Chetlain so ordering
after the prosecution had admitted
that there was no legal evidence

Emma Goldman was not a party to
proceedings. Her case is set for
hearing tomorrow before Magistrate
Prindiville, where she, as well as
the nine men freed today, are charg-
ed with conspiracy to murder Presi-
dent Mckinley. The cases in the
lower court with reference to the
men are, of course, nullifed by the
action of Judge Chetlain today.
Miss Goldman will also be set at
liberty, al Justice Prindiville has
agreed to take such action in her case
Is the upper court took in the cases
of the men.

Him Had Practiced It.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 23.-Chancellor
E. BENJAMIN Andrews Of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska gave to the Associat-
ed Press this evening a correction and
denial of a report started at Chicago
concerning an address he recently de-
livered there. The chancellor said:
"a report is in circulation to the
effect that in a lecture on veracity
last month at the University of Chi
cago, l taught that under certain cir
cumstances, lying is justifiable. This
report must have ascribed to me a
view which l mentioned only to re-
flute it.. In the lecture referred to-,
I maintained, with all the logic and
warmth at my command, that lying
is never justifiable under any cir
cumstances or for any purpose what
ever. No other idea of meaning could
have occurred to any attentive lis
tener. (signed) E. Benjamin An
drews.'

OFFICERS OF THAT SHIP GIVE
THEIR EVIDENCE.
BEFORE COURT OF INQUIRY
Commander Schroeder Testifes Re-
garding Coal Supply Of Bat
tleship Massachusetts,.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The part
played by the %battleship Texas in the
naval battel off Santiago July 3, 1898,
in which the Spanish fleet under Ad-
miral Cervera was sunk, was the
basis of the greater part of today's
proceedings in the Schley naval court
of inquiry. Of the four witnesses ex-
amined during the day, three had
been officers on board the Texas dur
ing the battle and two we're new wit
nesses. These were Commander Geo.
C. Heilner, who was navigator on the
Texas. and Commander. Alex B. Bates,
who was the chief engineer on that
b%attleship. Commander Harbor, ex-
ecutive officer, and the chief surviving
officer of the ship, since the death of
Captain Philip, was recalled. The
fourth witness was Commander Sea-
ton, Schroeder, executive officer on
the Massachusetts and now governor
of the island OF Guam.
The testimony several times during
the day was somewhat exciting and
it was especially so when Command
er Heilner described the battle and
the part the Texas had taken in it.
He said that when the Brooklyn
made it's loop at the beginning of the
battle it had passed across the Texas
bow at a distance not to exceed a
hundred or one hundred and fifty
yards and at the command of Captain
Philip the Texas had been brought
to a dead stop. Engineer Bates testi-
fed that the %starboard engines had
been stopped and said he thought it
also happened to the port engines.
Commander Heilner expressed the
opinion that three miles had been
lost by this vancouver and the fact
that part of the machinery was de-
ranged. He said he considered that
the Texas was in greater danger when
the Brooklyn crossed her bow than
at any other time during the battle.
On cross-examination Commander
Heilner admitted having taken part
in the preparation of the official navy
department chart showing the posi-
lions at different times of the ships
which. participated in the battle. He
said that according to this chart the
two ships never were nearer than 500
yards of each other. But he contend
ed the chart was inaccurate, and he
said he had only consented to it as a
compromise. Commander Bates adj
mitted that the official steam log of
the Texas contained no record of the
signal to reverse the engines. Com
mander Schroeder testified concern
ing the coal supply of the Massachus-
etts, which he said would have been
sufficient for a blockade of from 16
to 20 days.
The day closed with another ami
mated controversy between counsel
as to the policy of bringing Admiral
SIMPSONS name into the trial.

Celebrated Pike County Orator Pays
the Governor a Friendly Visit.

JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. Lone of
the callers on Governor Dockery yester-
day was David A. Ball, of Pike county,
who was at one time an aspirant for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor at the hands of the last
Democratic State Convention. Mr..
Balls call was purely an informal
and friendly one. Last night Mr.. Ball
was one of those who attended the re-
ception given by the Governor and
Mrs. Dockery at the executive man.

These facts are only significant In
view Of the groundless stories that
have arisen in unfriendly sources that
there is political and personal hostili-
ty between the Governor and the
former Lieutenant Governor. The
very opposite Of this is the fact as
evidenced by the two, in themselves,
trivial incidents. 1t can be authori-
tatively stated Mr.. Ball is in thorough
sympathy with this administration
and will lend his influence to make it
n success

COUNTY THURSDAY FEBRUARY 1901

THE Missouri Democrat, published in
st. Louis, as the organof the Jefferson
Club in that city, is very much in
earnest in its appeal to the Missouri
Legislature to make good, clean rec
ord. Along this line the Democrat
says: "This paper has stated time and
again that if the present Legislature
quits Jefferson City with as bad name
as the last one, the State will be car
rried by the Republicans in the next
campaign. This would mean the loss
Of the Legislature, the loss Of United
States Senator, the loss of three Judges
and control Of the Supreme Court, the
loss of the Superintendent of Public
Schools and one Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner, to say nothing of
the Generalization Of the party. The
welfare of the Democratic party is in
the hands OF the Democratic members
of the Legislature Are enough Of
these men ready to commit felOnies to
swamp their party? That is a ques-
tion the people want to know. This
thing of men seeking seats in the
Legislature to see how much Doodle
they can squeeze out Of corporations
and individuals, and how many of
their relatives they can crowd in on
the pay-rolls, has got to be stopped or
the party is going to be defeated. 1t
may be stated rightnow that the pres
ent Legislature is not going to do very
much boodling until the public is in
formed of the fact and the guilty par
ties exposed. Matters have come to
pretty pass il a lot of men entrusted
to legislate for the people can 20 to
Jefferson City and barter away the en-
tire Democratic party Of Missouri"

SOME people have an idea that the
way 70 stand In with one Democrat
is to abuse another Democrat. Once
in while you will find man who
thinks he will make himself solid with
the new administration by abusing
the old administration. In an edi-
torial headed, "The Cowardice Of 1t, "
the Columbia tMo.) Herald handles
This mater without gloves as follows;
''The Lord hates a gutter. If there
be virtue which Heaven and earth
hold in high esteem above all else IL is
fidelity. To quit a friend when he is
no longer in a position TO reward ones
friendship is the kind Of ingratitude
which politicians and snakes and other
creeping sycophantlc things possesses.
Even the dogs have a nobler idea of
devotion. They did not desert Laza-
rus, the beggar, for Dives, the dispen-
ser of patronage in the palace. When
there is change in administration, a
reversal of party control or shifting
of individuals, there is always among
the low order which are best styled
likespittles a reversal of opinion and
admiration. The low-hung fellows
flock after the new ruler. Long live
the king browns the king is dead.
This is the way of the world. Friends
are regarded like lemons, to be tossed,
when squeezed, into the ash barrel in
the back yard. Bryan is defeated,
hail to the re-organizers! Dockery
is Governor, a jibe and stab for
Stephens. Mckinley is in full flush
of triumph, away with Tom Reed and
Boutwell, and the doubling contin-
gent who look anxiously upon his new
departure. There can be friendship
and devotion to different administra-
tions. 1t implies no disloyalty to one
to give cheerful assistance to another.
The point against which protest is
here made is that in order to stand
in with the ascendant one must deny
his friendship to all Others. Hosan-
nahs to one are not made more lusty

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY finds it diff
cult to make his plans fit with those
of the directors Of the Pan-American
Exposition which opens at Buffalo on
on the first of May. The directors
are not particularly anxious for the
President to be there on the opening
day, They would prefer him to post
pone his visit until the middle Of the
month, when the vegetation would be
further advanced and he could see
the park at its best. But that will
not be possible, owing to his trip to
California. He can go to Buffalo on
his way out, about the first Of May,
or stop there on his way back, in June,
as the exposition people prefer, and
they will probably adopt the latter
