An Extension of the Western
Union and the New Pacific Com

1t is Only One of the Troublesome
Questions which the ATTORNEYS
General Has TO Meet.
Washington, Oct. 9.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox's lines can scarcely be said
to be falling in pleasant places just at
this time. He has under consideration
the question whether the President
ought to grant permission to a Ie-
Gently organized cable company to land
its lines in the Philippines. The newly
organized company is an American
concern, So naturally, prejudice. if any
existed, would be expected on it's side,
because the company which insists the
President should not grant the permit
is a British corporation. 1t claims that
SPANS concession of a monopoly OF
the cable business In the islands, made
war, should be respected by the Unit
ed States. The Attorney Generals task
is to decide what course would be poll
tic as we'll as right.
While nominally it is a contest be-
tween an American and British cor
poration. the fact is that for all in
tents and purposes it is merely an ex-
tension of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company's lines, while the
company which asks the permit bears
the same relation to the Postal lines.
Therefore, the Attorney General is
practically called upon to decide one
of the multitude Of questions that has
arisen since the first competition be-
tween the rival American telegraph
companies was begun.
There are good arguments for and
against a recognition of the monopoly
as binding upon the United States.
That is what makes his task one that
almost any man might be justified in
wishing that It had fallen on some one
else. There is not much question but
that the United States has a right to
disregard the monopoly, but the ques-
tion is not one merely OF right. Policy
must be taken into consideration.

Onward Silver, tired from seven fast
heats, to his top speed, following one
of the most sensational drives through
the stretch in the recollection of vet
Grams, he captured the first money in
the sS6, 900 event. The last finish, as
nearly all the previous ones had been,
was thrilling, only short neck meas

all save Onward Silver and Chainshot,
with two heats each to their credit,
and Susie with one heat, had re-

The son of Onward was favorite at
$50, with the field of nine. He was ex-

race. but he was unable to overtake
Susie j, who won by less than neck.
When the three champions were driven
on the track for the final test twilight

tense. They were sent off to good
start on the second attempt, Chainshot
leading by half length. Susie j. took
the lead at the turn with Chainshot
and Onward Silver closely following.

SHANGHAI YARN THE RAGE.
A Formidable Rival to American.
and Japanese Products Appenrs

- '"A 10 American
and Japanese Products Appears.
Washington, Oct 10.-Consul Miller
sends from Niuchwang a clipping
from the Japan Weekly Times as fol-
lows:
While our yarn is quoted at a consid-
cradle price in the Chinese market,
owing to its excellent quality, a pow
erfui rival in the form of the Shanghai
yarn has begun its career. At present,
the only Chinese market where Japa-
nese yarn is reigning supreme is that
OF Hankau, while its rival is steadily
gaining ground in various places in
Notrh China, in .Niuchwang especial
ly At Chinkiang. the Indian yarn
has been much in demand, but of late
1t has, in a manner, been replaced by
the Chinese yarn. 1t is said that the
Shanghai yarn is not only pretty good
in quality, but 1t sells at a compara-
lively low price, so that when suffi-
Client improvements are made, it may
command the cotton yarn market in
China in the not distant future. In
short, the Shanghai yarn is now be-
ginning to be the rage" all over the
Celestial empire. and the result will be
most painfully felt by Japan.
1nasmuch, says the consul as the
United States supplies a large amount
of raw cotton for Japan and does not
export ii to China, this change in the
markets for japanese cotton yarn is of
considerable Importance to our cotton
exporters.

mule cases were pending before the
Federal Court at New Orleans was
a season of great anxiety for the late
President and his devoted friend and
local advisor. If Judge Parlange had
decided that it was unlawful for the
President to allow the shipment of
horses and mules for the British army
from that port, the foreign commerce
of the United States would have been
paralyzed had not Mr.. Knox found
some way to avoid such a disastrous
effect. The attorney general had found
way, but as the danger never occur
red, the question how ii would have
been met, would perhaps be of interest
only to lawyers. The point is that Mr.
Knox was prepared for it, Another in
stance of the Supreme Court in the
insular cases, were made. The attor-
ney general is largely, If
not altogether responsible. for
the decision of President Mckinley
that there was no necessity for an ex-
traordinary session of Congress All
his colleagues and even the President,
regarded a call upon Congress for help
as practically inevitable. Mr.. Knox
convinced them that that was just
what, above all things, IL was desir-
able for them TO avoid. because the
opinions of the members of the court.
indicated that they did not consider
the Philippines as on the same footing
as Porto Rico.
To Decide Philippine Cases.
The Supreme Court will begin its
October term next Monday. There is
an expectation that a decision in the
Philippine cases will be handed down
at that time. The purport of 1t has
been thoroughly discounted because
one OF the opinions on the Porto Rican
cases laid down the broad proposition
that while the military is trying to
reduce eession to possession, tariff du-
ties such as suit the fancy of the mill
tary commander, may be exacted. If
the decision is not to the effect that the
islands are still under military control,
1t will be most surprising deliverance.
sSuch a decision will uphold the adj
ministration, and will demonstrate the
correctness of Dooley's conclusion that
the court follows the election returns.
In other words that the members of
the court are human beings and that
what influences a vast majority of
their fellow mortals. also has de-
termining effect upon their minds.
