 "l chose this time of the year to lay the cable for from what l could learn of the weather this is the most favorable season of the year for our work
 "We should have started a little ear Her. though. ii we had not been ship ping 300 miles of cable to the Philip pine islands for the government off cials and l do not know exactly when it will be put in.
 When asked ii the government would lay any more cables in Alaska Mr. Porter said: That depends on what pressure is brought on the gov crnment II the people on this coast want cables they must bring influence to bear on the officials of the war de pertinent. This cable. however as understand it,. was not asked for but was planned by the government m or- der to furnish a much needed commit nication betwen Juneau and the world"

An day long yesterday the arrival ui the Victorian was anNiously looked for, but toward evening she was given up as not likely Co arrive till today and perhaps not at all She was billed to sail this evning at 8 o'clock by agcn, Pope
 lt is most probable that after the second accident to her steam pipe ihe Victorian was taken back Co Seattle fer more extensive repairs and her freight and passengers will be sent north on the City of Seattle. due to arrive Mon day
 To make sufficient repairs Co ensure her making the round trip would throw her SO far behind her regular schedule that 1t was no doubt thought best :o hold her over a trip for repairs and come ont again on her regular sail ing date.
 Anyway no fears are entertained for her safety. as she would not b. .cut out from Vancouver unless capable oi making the round trip
 The City of Topeka sailed from Seat tlc the same day as the Humboldt and Victorian. but will reach here mul some time today as she has consii .r. able way port business and a large shipment of freight for the light house, now in course of construction on Five Finger island

The DamrOkch Society.

The Damrosch Society will close its sew
enth season on Aprll II by an unusually
attractive concert, which will be given at
the Congregational Church. Under the
skillful guidance of Musical Director Otto
Torney Simon the society is now at it's
best in tone, quality and finish, and will
show to marked advantage in the bright
and tuneful compositions selected Mr.
Arthur D. Mayo, the capable accompanist
OF the society, renders invaluable services
in that capacity.
Much interest has been aroused by the
announcement that the society will be as
sisted on this occasion by two vocalists of
New York, Miss Shannan Cumming So
prano, and Mr.. Mckenzie Gordon, tenor
Miss Cumming has a voice which adapts
itself to either lyric or dramatic work
For three years she has most acceptably
filled the church position formerly held by
Clementine DeVere, and has only recently
accepted another at a salary said to be the
largest now paid to any sopralo in Greater
New York. Mr.. Gordon easily leads the
tenors of the metropolis Having a voice
of rare sweetness Ind power he is con-
stantly in demand for concert and oratorio
work.

his manifest sympathy with the people
whom he was discussing aroused in his
audience intense interest in this weird

periods. The Indian and Spanish ballads
