FIRST CABLE STRETCHED.
Interesting Piece of Work on New Brook
lyn Bridge.

Interesting Piece of Work on New Brook
lyn Bridge.
New York, April 11-Accompanied
by the screaming Of whistles and
cheers of thousands of spectators on
both sides of East river, the first cable
of the new bridge was raised from the
bed of the river today and drawn
taut, 1870 feet above the surface of the
water. Thousands witnessed the rails
ing of the cable from the shore, while
many tug boats, yachts and craft Of
all kinds ran up near enough so those
on board could witness the raising.
The interesting part was the long
chain of signals from men on either
tower to the engineer of the boat
which stretched the cable.
The acual time of raising was seven
minutes. While it was being drawn
back onto the williamsburg side, the
cable was placed in clamps and firmly
fixed in the massive anchorage Of
masonry.

GOES TO JAIL.
Supreme Court Decision In 1rice Con-
tempt Case.

SSupt SdSC.
New York, April 11.-Justice Scott
in the supreme court to-day handed
down decision adjudicating Council
man Stuart NJ. Brice, son of the late
Senator Brice, guilty of contempt of
court and sentenced him to 10 days in
the county jail and to pay a fine Of
$473.
The decision is the outcome of the
contempt proceedings brought against
Brice and several city officials in a
trial over the new hall records. Near
ly two years ago. as result of man.
damus proceedings, the supreme court
issued an order directing the common
council tc pass a certain amount Of
bonds in connection with the hall of
records. Some of the councilmen re-
fused to obey the order. Subsequent.
ly the matter was settled and the off
cials purged themselves of their con-
tempt by passing the bond issue.
Brice fought the matter in the SUI
preme court and the contempt pro-
ceedings in his case have been pend
ing ever since.

Signs of Permanent Occupation
Noticed.

Berlin, March 10.-The Tageblatt's
special correspondent who has been
travelling in northern Manchuria and
Mongolia and on the borders Of ST
IBERIA and China for year, and whose
reports have hitherto been correct
without exception, has furnished his
paper with a long letter containing in
teresting details regarding the Russo
Chinese agreement on the subject of
Manchura, Mongolia and Turkestan.
The proposed international admins
tration of that part of China demon
strates that Manchuria will become
an integral part of Russia. more Sc
than that Manchuria will become an
integral part of Russia, more so than
even Bokhara. In regard to Mongolia,
he says there is no doubt a protec-
torate has been established as
this is evidenced by the hosting Of
Russian flags everywhere, through the
organization of the district. the estab-
lishment of tax collecting offices ano
the opening of branches Of Russo-Chi>
nese banks with no one but Russian
tually taken place during the past sin
months and began before the boxer
outbreak.
Without the knowledge of either
Europeans or Americans or their Jap
anese allies. this correspondent says,
Prince Tuan went to the Kansu prov
ince in the northwestern portion of
the Chinese empire bordering on
Mongolia, where the best Chinese
troops are formed from 100000 of
| Moslems there, which troops are firm
ly loyal to Prince Tuan and refuse to
serve either against the allies or for
! the Chinese court.
Perhaps the most important infor-
nation furnished by the Tageblatt IS
that the Russian government has

posted on the walls throughout Trans

F FRANCHISE APPROVAL
BILL TO INSURE 1T PASSES
ASSEMBLY.
APPLIES, TO. ALL CITIES
In Case Public Is Dissatisfied With
Any Railway or Other Important
Privilege Granted by the Council 1t
May Submit the Question to Popu-
lar Vote.
Madison, March 8.

Madison, March 8.
A bill of exceeding popular interest
is that relating to franchises which
passed the lower house Friday. 1t
was introduced by Assembly Lenroot
of Superior and, if the senate does not
check it, there is practically an end
to the so-called Doodle franchises.
1t provides that no ordinance for
granting either a street railroad, cleo
trio ightin, gas, water, or telephone
franchise, or for the extension of the
life Of any such existing franchise to
perform a public service or make use
Of public property shall be operative
in any city until after 60 days from
the date of it's passage; and if in any
such case and during that period of 60
days a number of the qualified voters
equal to 10 per cent. of the total num-
Der Of votes cast at the last preceding
general election in sucn city shall de-
n3and that the ordinance be submitted
to direct vote of the people, sucL
ordinance shall not be valid or oper-
ative until it shall have been SO sub
mitted and approved by majority of
those voting upon it.
In every case the papers containing
the demand for a direct vote must be
filed with the city clerk within the
time specified, and each sIgner must
write his occupation and residence af-
ter his signature, and che genuineneSs
of each signature must be atteSted by
the affidavit of a qualified voter. The
submission of the ordinance is to be
made at the next municipal election
or at a special election to be held
within so days of the filing of the de-
mand for vote, as the comon council
may determine. In submitting the
ordinance to a direct vote the council
must have clearly printed upon the
official ballots the title of the ordin-
ance with the words 'Efor" and
against" in conspicuous capital let
tiers and each of those two words
must be followed by @ square enclosed
space for the voters mark.
The act does not apply to the extern
sion Of any line or system upon any
street, not exceeding a half mile in
length, provided that the extension
expires at the same time as the fran
chise covering the street, of which it
is a part.
1t is probable such a law would be
invoked very seldom, but if a council
should treat public sentiment fragrant
ly in granting franchise it would
| form highly comfortable corrective.
4 desperate effort will be made by
corporate interests in the senate to
undo the work of the assembly.

SENATORS GO HOME
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION OF
SENATE COMES TO END.
MITCHELL FIRST SWORN IN
Business of Session Was Entirely OF
Executive Character Being Chiefly
For Confirmation of Appointment
Made-President Sends Best
Wishes to Retiring Statesmen.

Washington, March 10.-After pro-
ceedings lasting only six days the ex-
traordinary session of the senate was
declared adjourned sine die at 155 p.
"a. yesterday. During the session
practically no business, except that of
an executive character, was transact
ed. The session was called by the
president in order that the senate
might have an opportunity to confirm
appointments made at the beginning
Of the new administration. That bus
mess accomplished there was nothing
further for the senate to do. AT the
opening of yesterdays session Presi-
dent Pro TEN Senator Frye of Maine
was indicted into Office, the oath be-
ing administered by Vice President
Roosevelt John H. Mitchell, recently
elected senator from Oregon, was pre-
sented by his colleague, Senator
Simon, and took the oath of Office. He
was given a cordial reception
by his colleagues on the floor,
many OF whom had served in the SEN
ate with him and by his friends in the
galleries who greeted his appearance
with hearty applause.
Upon the request of Senator Nor
gan, unanimous consent was given for
the appointment of Senator Mitchell
to succeed his predecessor, Senator
Mcbride, as a member Of the commit
tee on the inter-oceanic canal.
Through the committee of the senate
consisting of Senators Hoar Of Massa-
chusetts and Cockrell of Missouri, the
president informed the senate that
he had no further communications to
make. He conveyed to the senators
cordial wishes for their welfare and
hopes that they might have a happy
return to their homes. Without cere-
mony, the session was then declared
at an end. For considerable time
after final adjournment many senators
remained on the floor of the chamber
exchanging cordial farewells

CUBAN CRISIS OVER
CONSERVATIVE COURSE PRE-
Walls IN CONVENTION.
MORE HOPEFUL ASPECT
Committee May Be Named to Visit
Washington-Ir1passioned Appeal
to the Islanders Possibility but
Uprising no Longer Feared-Secret
Sessions Being Held.

Havana, March S.-The Cuban con.
stitutional convention met in secret
session yesterday for a formal dis
cussion of the Plat amendment. The
conservative element scored a victory.
1t was decided to continue the ses-
sions of the convention and to refer
the amendment to a special committee
on relations with instructions to bring
in report. 1t is doubtful whether
the convention will ever agree to ac-
cept the amendment, but the conser-
NATIVES maintain that the willingness
of the radicals to discuss and, if nee
essary, to send a committee to Wash
ington gives more hopeful aspect to
the conditions which were growing
strained.
1t is generally believed that the cri-
sis, if any existed, has passed and
that by the time the committee re.
ports the present excitement will have
died out. If an impassioned appeal to
the people is issued, as it is rumored
viii be the case, this may cause DEM
onstrations of protest against the
United States. But nothing in the ma
ture OF an uprising is any longer
feared.

MAY SURRENDER TOMORROW.
It Is Said Botha Has Arranged To
CaptuIate to French.

London, March 10-Advices from
two great south African financial
houses confirm the press intelligence
that Lord Kitchener and General
Botha have been in negotiation for six
days. Peace, or at least a long step
toward the end of the war is looked
for this week.
The war Office last night declined to
contribute anything to these great OK
pectations which include, according
to some, the making of formal sub
mission by Botha tomorrow when his
force will surrender to French. Among
versions as to what is going on there
is one with some official countenance
that the government is Offering Botha
far more liberal terms than parlia-
mentary declarations have given any
idea of. The only thing limiting these
cheerful speculatiOns is the fact that
