FLAGS HALF-MASTED.
OMcfal Period of Mourning Extend,
Until the 10Th

Until the 18th.
By a special order issued by President
Roosevelt this morning the official period
OF mourning for our late beloved President
was extended until the 10th instant 1t was
generally understood in all the executive
departments that the period Of mourning
expired last evening, and upon that under
standing the flags on all the public build
fngs, which heretofore had been at half
mast, were raised to full mast this morn
ing. They had been flying for a short time
only, however. when telephone messages
were received from the White House noti-
Tying the heads of the various departments
that the President desired that the flags
continue to remain at half mast until the
18th instant, which is thirty days from the
date of the interment of President McKin-
ley at Canton. ~
1t had been the original intention TO date
the period of mourning from the date Of
Mr.. Mckinley's death, September IA. but
on further considering the matter the Pres
1dent concluded to extend the period until
the 18th instant. The White House will
remain closed until Saturday

The Pacific Cable Question.
Attorney General Knox had a long con-
ference with President Roosevelt Satur-
day afternoon In regard to the application
of the Pacific Commercial Cable Company
to lay cable from the United States to
the Philippines by way of Hawaii and
Guam. Mr.. Knox advised the President
to take no action at present but TO await
further information as to the purpose of
the company after its cable was completed
TO the Philippines. 1t is deemed desirable
u, ,o Know whether Ii would extend its own
line to China or would make some arrange
ment with the English company that all
ready has a cable from Hong Kong TO
manila The Attorney General regarded IL
as very important that there should be
complete line from the United States TO
the Philippines and the continent of Asia.
as In case of war ii might be necessary for
the united States not only to control n
caDie ilne to the Philippines, but also TO
control line from the Philippines to
CHINA or some other point in Asia
Inc matter of the Spanish commissions
granted In 1898 to the English company
elVing 1t an extensive franchise for cable
connections In the Philippines was carefully
considered. Attorney General Knox ad-
vised the President that this exclusive
franchise would not hold. He cited the
recent action by the Transvaal commission,
Which held that the concessions granted by
the Boer government In the Transyaal
would not be recognized as valid by the
British government
The probability is that no definite action
VIII be taken by the President in relation
to the company's proposition untn the
company shall have made clear its inten-
tions regarding the cable line between the
Philippines and China

Withdrawal of Troops Probably

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 14.-It
transpires that the Turkish commander
had completed dispositions to surround

liberate Miss Stone by force will infallibly
result In her murder.

Getting AWAY From Land.

The question has been asked, Is 1t
possible to sail 1000 miles from landP
This can be done at several points. By
leaving San Francisco and sailing
northwestward into the north Pacific a
spot is reached where there Is no land,
not even an islet, for 1000 miles in any
direction. So, too, sailing from the
southern point of Kamchatka south
eastward ships reach a point equally
distant from land Of any kind, the
nearest to the north being the Aleu-
tan islands and to the south the
outlying members Of the Sandwich
group. In the southern Indian ocean
it is possible to sail 1000 miles out
from the southern points of Australia
and New Zealand and still be as far
from any other land, and the same may
be done in a westerly direction from
Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point
a much longer distance might be reach
ed, for the southern Pacific between
the Horn and New Zealand covers a
space Of 80 degrees of longitude and
10 of latitude of absolutely unbroken
sea, making its central point over 1900
miles from anywhere.

Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the springs run dry;
One by one beyond recall
Summer roses droop and die.
But the roses bloom again,
And the springs will gush anew
In the pleasant April rain
And the summer rain and dew.
So in hours OF deepest gloom,
When the springs OF gladness fail
And the roses in their bloom
Droop like maidens wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies.
Like q silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden Of the heart
Some sweet hope to gladness wed
That will spring afresh and new
When grief's winter shall have fed,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes of spring
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its blossoming
