A NEW CABLE COMPANY.
D Submarine Line to Manila via
Honolulu to be Inid

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 24.-The Conn
mercial Pacific Cable company, with a
capital stock of 100000 has been in
corporated here by the following gen
tlcmen; John W. Mackay, Clarence II.
plackay. Edward C. Plat, Albert Beck,
George c. Ward. Albert b. Chandler
and William w. Cook.
Respecting the purposes and pros
poets OF the new company Mr.. Mackay
said that the Commercial Pacific Cable
company had been organized for the
purpose of laying a submarine cable
from California to the Philippine Is
lands by way of Honolulu, in the 1la-
waiian Islands. The length of the cable
will be about $500 miles, the part to be
first laid being from California to the
Hawaiian Islands. This portion, Mr..
Nfackay expects, 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 Philippine Is
lands will depend upon how quickly
the cable can be manufactured, but Mr..
Mackay believes the whole cable will
be completed within two years from
this date.
The new cable when it reaches the
Philippines will connect at that point
with the present submarine cable run
ming from the Philippines to Japan and
also the cable running from the Philip
pines to China. A direct cable route
from China and Japan 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
md Japan would be reduced when the
new cable is laid from 80 to GO per
cent.

FIRST CABINET MEETING.
President Roosevelt and His Adj
visers Meet In Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Presdent
Roosevelt and his cabinet met in the
cabinet room of the White House for
the first time yesterday morning.
Mr. Roosevelt occupied the same seat
that had been occupied by all his prede-
cessors since the foundation of the
White House-that is, at the end of the
table near the single window at the
south end of the little council chamber
and his advisers took their places
around the table according to the Off
cial order of precedence. All the seats
were occupied except that of Attorney
General Knox.
President Roosevelt opened the cabi-
net meeting by repeating what he said
to the members soon after the death of
President Mckinley. He said that he
was grateful that the faithful cOun-
selOrs of his predecessor had consented
to retain their portfolios. He believed
this was done at some personal sacri-
fee by several of them, and he warmly
expressed his pleasure that they had
periodically agreed to continue at the
head of their several departments.
The meeting lasted about an hour
and quarter. No important business
was transacted
AS soon as the new president arrived
at the White House he took up. with
Secretary COrtelyou. several matters
that had been considered by President
Mckinley and on which particular ac-
ton had been determined upon, but
not actually consummated.

Canadian Provincial governments may

Every province in CANADA except the
province of Quebec has voted in favor

Ontario gave a majority of "a, 600 votes

that the Provincial Government would
not be justified in enacting prohibl-

Strong Evidence Showing that They
Were the Guilty Parties.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. %. The
trial of George Newland and Tom
o. 'Brien on the charge of numbering
Mr.. AIDE, an old man, and his family
on Paradise Ridge in March, 1897, de.
velOped into a genuine sensation to- day.
when Mrs. Bette Hancock and Bridge
Newland, sister and brother of George
Newland, gave their testimony against
the defendants.
The sister testimony was more or
less circumstantial, but gave strong
color to the claim that Newland and
o. O'Brien were the murderers. because of
their mysterious actions just before and
after the tragedy. She also told OF
their mysterious disappearance on the
night of the murder and of their efforts
to prevent anyone from learning theil
whereabouts the morning after the
crime.

Q Brien say AIDE had money, and he had
also heard him say the way to get i
was to kill AIDE and his family and
burn the house over them. Newlan(
had responded to this that dead mel

that they would go down there som,
night and get it.

that they called to AIDE to come out.
and when he refused they went in and
killed the old man first, the old woman
next, and took the rest as they came
to them.
Witness asked them if they got any
money George pulled out an old
leather pocket book, took out two or
three bills and burned the pocket book.
When witness first saw the defendants
they had black about their hair, ears
and eyes. They told him, the witness
declared, that they killed the family
with clubs, because pistols would
make too much noise. He noticed
that George had something that looked
like blood ON his left shoe, and 0 Brien

by burglars last Thursday night, who
got away with about SO in cash and
a square meal.
the intruders gained an entrance
through the kitchen passing through
the dining room and sleeping apart
ments, ransacking everything they
came across and helping themselves to
whatever they wanted. They found
$50 in bills in one of Mr.. Tom Neeley's
coat pockets, the money being wrapped
up in an envelope. They also went
through Mr.. Elijah Neeley's pockets,
and got several dollars in silver and
some u eco. They then set about to
satisfy inner man. and made a
meal off the cold victuals they found
in the cupboard
SO cautious were the thieves that
none of the occupants of the house
were disturbed by their intrusion.
These same burglars also entered the
residence of Mr.. John Martin, corner
South High and Ninth street, early
that night before the family had To-
tired, but their purpose there evidently
was only to secure something to eat.
They went into the kitchen and dining
room, took several plates of eatables
out into the back yard. emptied them
of their contents and then left. This
morning the key to Mr.. Martin S
kitchen was found on a table at Mr.
Neeley's house, the burglars having
left it there.
A few nights previous the kitchen
and dining room of Mr. William
Blount near the depot were also broken
into, but nothing except some eatables
were stolen At an earlv hour Thurs

in South Columbia were also disturbed
by someone trying to gain an entrance,
