NEW TRANs-PACIFTC CABLE.
Official Statement of the Scope of
the Project.

tAS fFOJeCt.
WASHINGTON, Sept 28.-Mr. John w.
Mackay, president of the Postal Tele-
graph company, the Commercial Gable
company and the newly organized Pa
cific Commercial Cable company has
been in Washington for a few days with
Mr.. George G. Ward, vice president of
new organization. Their mission was
principally to make arrangements re-
garding the landing privileges of their
cables, which it is proposed to run from
San Francisco via. the Hawaiian islands
and Guam, to Manila.
The following statement was made by
an official interested in the project on be-
half of Mr.. Mackay:
The project is distinctively different
from anything which has been proposed,
as no concession, indemnitieS or subsidies
are asked, the proposition being simply
that If permission to land be granted
the cable will be laid and maintained
without any cost to the government The
cable company agrees to give the govern
ment business right of way, and in case
OF war or other public necessity to per-
NIT the cable to be taken over by the
government. 1t furthermore promises to
reduce the far Eastern rates from 40 to
~ per cent below those now charged"
Mr.. Mackay and others connected with
the new company are hopeful that the
concessions they seek may be granted,
put on account Of the provisions of the
treaty of Paris, relating to the conces-
SONS granted by Spain in the Philippines
prior to American occupation of the
Islands, some doubt exists as to the
right OF the government to grant such
privilege as is asked to a private cor
poration.

THE NEWS OF LONDON TOWN
Transatlantic Liners Loaded to the
Gunwa1es With Home Going
American Tourists - At
the PlayhOuses.

LONDON, Sept 2S.-The Rev J. @. A
Henry, superintendent of the New York
Anti-Saloon league, has begun his crusade
in England at the invitation of the Free
Churches, holding the first of his seventy
five meetings in London this week. Mr..
Henry thinks there is more drunkenness
here than in the United States, especially
among women. He points out that one
third of the arrests for drunkenness in
this country during the year 1900 were
of women.
Six hundred sets of resolutions of SYM
pathy on the occasion of the death of
President Mckinley have reached the
United States embassy from societies and
public bodies in the United Kingdom be-
sides a large number of letters and tel
egrams. They will be indexed and filed
in a specially constructed case for preser-
walton, as are those which were received
at the time of the deaths of President
Lincoln and Garfield, which latter are
about one-fifth as many as those received
in connection with the death of Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
Correspondence regarding the Nicar-
aqua canal treaty has ceased, the treaty
being in form for signature. The only
authoritative information obtalnable
about it here is that 1t is considerably
better for the United States than the
lists respecting the neutrality clause. In
other respects the treaty follows the gen.
eral lines of the old one.
The American season, as this period is
called in London is drawing to an end.
The steamers sailing for America today
and those going next week are booked
to their capacity, but thereafter some
vacancies exist. The express train
taking the passengers of the American
line steamer st. Paul to Southampton
today was unusually crowded, but it was
not sufficient to take, without over
crowding, a hundred persons who in
tended to go to Southampton.
LondonS autumn season is in full
swirg. The most prominent society peo-
pie may be seen in London daily. The
fashionable restaurants are crowded and
several of the West end theaters are do
ing splendid business. Among the best
are those in which Americans are di-
rectly interested. Sherlock Holmes
seems to have settled down as perma-
nent success, and "Kittie Grey at the
Apollo Are You Mason at the
Shaftesburg, Becky Sharpe" at the
Prince of Wales and the old favorites
1.-THE Toreador" at the Gaiety and San
Tor at Days and Pinero's new play,
Iris are getting the best and most
fashionable patronage. In regard to
Iris" the play is pronounced to be a
perfect piece of workmanship and one
which will supply an inexhaustible SUBJ
ject for argument. Most of the critics,
however, pay Fay Davis the compliment
of saying she is unable to portray the
character of the lovely. luxurious and
immoral heroine to the life.

IRON ORE HEARING IS TO BE RE-
SUMED ON THE 24TH OF
OCTOBER
DUE TO DOUGLAS ILLNESS
Attorney General Has Not Been
Able 60 Prepare His Report
as to Character OF
Traffic.

Because of the illness of Attorney
General Douglas the railroad and ware
house commission has again been forced
to postpone the hearing of the ore rate
cases, which were to begin on Oct. /.
The railroads carrying ore have con-
tended that the traffic is interstate, and
not within the jurisdiction Of the COM
mission. This question was argued soma
weeks ago and referred by the commits
sion to the attorney general for an opin-
lon This opinion was expected this
week, but had not been prepared when
the attorney general was taken ILL., He
is Frustrated with nervous, trouble, due
to overwork, and it is said that he is
not likely to return to his duties for
two weeks. For this reason the COM
mission has designated Oct "A as the
day upon which the ore cases will be
taken up.
Upon the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral much depends. If he holds that The
traffic is interstate, the question of rates
will have to be dropped. If he holds
otherwise, the investigation will con-
tinue and will probably consume several
days.

WHAT Is NEEDED IN CHINA.
Consul Martin Points Ont Essen
tiaIs to Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2S-Mr. Sduires,
the United States secretary of the Legal
ton at Pelxin, has forwarded to the state
department, under date of Aug l. re-.
port from Consul Martin, at Chin kilng
in which Mr.. Martin sets out three conoI-
lions which he believes to be absolutely
essential to success in the CONNER
cial relations with China:
i. If foreigners ever build up a large
trade in China it must be with the help
of the ChieneSe themselves. and this cam
be done only by treating them with re-
spect. No American can live in China
long without seeing that foreigners are
inclined to treat the Chinese negiigentiy,
even when their interests would seem to
indicate an opposite course. The Chi
nese resent this.
g. The entire country should be open
to foreign trade. and judicial system
should be formulated to meet the require
ments of all foreigners in the empire.
Much of the trouble in the past has arls--
en- from differences of opinion as to what
punishment would best subserve the ends.
of justice.
8. The lkin should be abolished in fa-
vor of some other system of taxation
that would secure the required revenue.
The likin, as now operated I regard as,
the most perfect method of extracting ALI
conceivable profit from trade.
It's tendency is to localize trade by.
hedging goods about with such expenses,
that they cannot be moved. When COM.
moditieS can be transported from one end
of China to the other without any tax.
save the freights. the whole nation will
TEEN with activity.

Forty Miles an Hour Crashes
Into Rear of Standing Train
at Penn, N. ID.

DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Sept. 2S.-(Spe-

rem, on the Great Northern railway
htteen miles west of here, this morning
at $40, when a rear-end collision of east
bound freight trains resulted in the
death of Engineer George Come and
F1remen Clayton, Saunders and William
GIL and the fatal injury of Fireman l..
Blsseli The head train stopped at Penn
to take water, when it was run down by
doubleheader, heavy freight, loaded
with Oriental goods direct from the coast
Thls train had been losing time, and
extra Engine No. sos was sent from the
round house in this city last night and
headed behind No 200 at Knox, fifty
miles west, to help pull the heavy
train.
When the wreck occurred the over-tak-
ing train was running fully forty miles
an hour Very foggy weather prevented
the rear train seeing the head one, but
the men on the first engine of the double
header jumped all the killing being on
the second engine of the rear train,
which engine was crushed between the
train and the first engine
Saunders was keeper of the round
house in this city, his ride being more
for pleasure than to assist, he intending
to take the engine back to the round
HouSe mere when IL arrived. Inc wreck
presented a horrible sight. Upwards OF
thirty cars piled in a heap started to
burn, and burned until late in the fore
noon Comes body was recovered from
the debris. A wrecking train arrived
on the scene of the disaster at noon
from Larimore, with Supt. Hill, of the
North Dakota division in charge. The
bodies of Saunders and Gill were taker
to the morgue in this city early this
morning by special train. 1t is impos-
sfble to find upon whom the blame for the
disaster attaches, and the railroad of
ficals will not disclose the fact.

KIDNAPPING OF MISS STONE.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday. Sent
l4-According to the latest intelligence

exception of Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka
Bulgarian lady, wife of teacher at
Samakov, in Bulgaria, were released
Two of those released belong to the
American mission at Samakov, and as
soon as liberated proceeded straight TO
that town. They report that the whole
party were captured not far from a
Raslog, Bulgarian village, and Djuma-
Bala, a road which has hitherto been
considered safe. The brigands were in
two sections, one aheaA and the other in
the rear. The travellers were thus taken
between the two. Those in front wore
ordinary dress, while those in the rear OF
the party were attired In military uni
forms, and armed with government
rifles. This latter section, being near
est the guardhouse, strongly suggests
participating in the affair by soldiers
forming that post, whose duty 1t is to
guard the road. Immediately upon he
ing captured the party were taken to the
mountains. They were relieved of their
purses, watches, blankets and other pos
sessions.
Brigandage in Macedonia has been rife
this year. peculiar feature of the
brigands this year in some districts is
their composition. Several of them are
known to consist of Turks. Bulgarians
and KutZo- Wallachs.
