A Religious Symposium.

r Another inter- sting symposium, tt
which As leaders of religious thought
: orthodox, heteroioX, conservative ant
radical, contribute, has made its ap
( pearance in book called Theology
, at the Dawn Of the Twentieth Cen
tury." Two broad considerations,
zach containing much of truth,
though contradictory, are presented
by Frederick Harrison, the English
critic and free thinker and President
Eliot of Harvard. Mr. Harrison thinks
this gensration is daily sinking Ito
meaner ideals, to coarser ways of life,
to more vulgar types of literature and
art. to more open craving after wealth
and a more nsolent assertion Of pride
and force y He finds the cause of
this decaderce 10 imperialism, in Bis
marck's policy of blood ard iron,
which is being initiated by all the
nations ard by parties and statesmen
of every creed.
President Eliot on the other hand
believes that while the higher criti.
cism has undermined the inferential
structure that has been built round
the Bible, it has retained all that is
best in its teaching, its ecclesiastical,
educational, political and domestic
authority. He thinks that the great
moral development of the nineteenth
century has been ths social sense, the
sense OF human kinship, new so.

Will LAY PACIFIC CABLE
John Mackay and Others incorporate Company Connect
America With Hawaii and the Philippines Within Two Years.

Albany, N. Y. Sept. 2S.-The Com
mercial Pacific Gable company, with a
capital stock of 100000, was incor-
porated here today by the following
men:
John w. Mackay, Clarence H. Mac
kay, Edward c. Plat, Albert Beck,
George G. Ward, Albert B. Chandler
and William w. Cook.
Respecting the purpose and prospects
of the new company, Mr.. Mackay said
today that the Commercial Pacific Ca
bic company had been organized for
the purpose of laying a submarine ca
bic from California to the Philippine
islands, by way of Honolulu. The
length of the cable will be about $500
miles, the part to be first laid being
from California to the Hawaiian is
lands. This portion, Mr.. Mackas eX-
poets, will be in operation within nine
months The time required for the
laying of the remainder of the cable
from the Hawaiian islands to the Phil
ippine islands will depend upon how
quickly the cable can be made, but Mr..
Mackay believes the whole cable will
be completed within two years from
this date. Aug. % Mr. Mackay made

New York. Sept. 23.-According to the
story told here by a Venezuelan who
reached New York a few days ago.
General Jose Manuel Hernandez. the
head of the conservative party in
Venezuela, and who is a political pris-
oner. is undergoing treatment even
worse than that of Dreyfus on Devils
island. His political and military
strength WIS recently shown in the
organization of a revolutionary move
ment on the frontier under the leader

which his friends fear VII end the
veterans career. The first move was
to transfer him TO the darkest dungeon
in the foul smelling old fort. A huge
ball was fastened to his ankle. He is
not permitted TO communicate with the
outside world. He is even denied the
usual exercise about the prison yard.
His keepers take a fiendish delight
in throwing live rats, spiders and other
vermin into his dungeon, particularly
when he sleeps. The rations allowed

mia and the Hawaiian islands and the
Philippine islands
The new company, Mr.. Mackay an
nounces, is willing to lay the cable on
the same terms and conditions at San
Francisco, Honolulu and Manila, so far
as landing rights are concerned, as
were imposed by the United States
government on the cable lines which
have been landed on the Atlantic coast
of the United States The new COM
pany does not ask any subsidy or any
guarantee, which is Mr. Mackay's rea-
son for believing that there will be no
trouble on agreeing with the govern
ment on the terms and conditions upon
which the cable will be landed. =
The new cable, when it reaches the
Philippines. will connect at that point
with the present submarine cable run
ming from the Philippines to China. A
direct cable route from China and ia
pan to the United States will thereby
be established. At present cablegrams
from China to the United States have
to be sent by way of Europe. Mr..
Mackay said that the present cable
rates from. the United States to the
Philippines and to China and Japan
would be reduced when the new cable
is laid from 30 to so per cent.
