PRIZE FIG HTING IN THE COUNTY
AS stated 10 Wednesdays Gazette the
graGd Jury OF Alexandria county, which
met on that day for the purpose OF
securing evidence against the partici-
pants 10 the prizsigbt which occurred
at Lswler's saloon at Rosslyn, recently,
was not able to elicit any information
on the subject from the county autho-i-
ties, and have decided to request Gov
ernor TYLER to send special detective
to the county TO work up the case.
Judge J. NJ. Love will notify Governor
Tyler OF the grand jury's action by let
ter. As Governor Tyler Ia opposed to
priz fighting on Virginia soil, he will
doubtless comply with the request. 1t
"a learned that during the investigation
held on Wednesday it was brought to
light that prizs fighting is a common
occurrence 10 the county. The people,
il is said, who indulge in this pastime,
constitute the sporting fraternity OF
Washington, and being unable
to pull off the bouts in that
city, for fear of arrest. they go to
Rosslyo, where there is no fear OF inter
ference. The fact that there was no
information elected at the hearing on
Wednesday concerning the alleged
priz fight has caused the authorities OF
Alexandria county to be harshly
criticised A citizen OF the county says
that II Governor Tyler sends detective
TO work up the case, be thought that
thers would be little or no trouble to
secure evidence against the partici-
pants. In regard TO the prizefght
which is reported to have taken place
In Alexandria county two weeks ago,

PACIFIC CABLE
The Longest Ever Constructed Will
Connect Canada and
Australia.

Washington, June S.-The state de-
partment is in receipt of interesting
information concerning work on the
British Pacific telegraph cable, which
is to connect the Dominion of Canada
with the Australian confederation.
The cable is to be 5,834h miles in
length, the longest ever constructed,
and will be transported and laid by
one ship which is now being built for
that purpose. Consul Abraham Smith
at Victoria, B. c., informs the state
department that a surveying party has
located a landing site at the Cana
dian end of the cable at a point on
Kelp bay, near Banfield creek. It is
about seven miles from the entrance
to Barclay sound, and something over
100 miles from Victoria. The loca-
ton is described as being admirably
adapted for the purpose. The cable
will run from Vancouver island to
Tanning island, which lies south of
Hawaii, a distance of 1887 miles be-
fore a landing is affected. Thence it
is to. be laid to the Fits, to Norfolk
island, and thence to Queensland.
Work or the cable proper already
has been commenced in England and
the first installment, which will be the
cable from Tanning island on to Aus
tralia, is expected to leave England
in January, 1902.
BY the terms Of the contract the
whole cable is to be laid and in work
ing order by January, 1903. 1t will
cost $10,000,000.

Chicago.

st. Joseph, Mich, June THE tribe
of POttawatOmie Indians living in Van
Buren, county held a secret pow-wow
at Hartford today to listen to the re.
port of scouts sent to Chicago. BY
a unanimous vote the tribe decided
to start for Chicago June %, under
the leadership Of Chief Isaac Quigno,
the most daring full-blooded Indian
of the tribe. Chief CHARLES Pokagon.
son of the late Sinner Pokagon, was
depOsed, together with his council of
sever advisors, because of their luke
warm attitude, and Drank Williams,
Frank Sawalk, j. H. Cushway, Steph-
en- Topash, Joseph Motay, Charles
Motay and Andrew Rupan were elect
ed members of the new council. The
Pottawotamies propose to invest the
lake front of Chicago and then proceed
to prove their claims to the land,
which they believe will be sustained.
If the Chicago claim is established
they will squat on all the lake front
from the Indiana line to Grand Haven,
Mich, which they say is their land by
virtue of the same rights upon which
they base their Chicago claim.
