FALL IN SHARES OF CABLE COMPANIES.

London, Dec. 21.-The fall in the securities
of cable companies which began with the an
nouncement of the success of Marconfs expert
ments in having signals transmitted across the
ocean by his wireless system of telegraphy, has
been continuous throughout the week. Since
December Il Anglo American preferred have
dropped seven points, and ordinary shares have
dropped four points, while Eastern Telegraph
half points.
Quite apart from the speculative bear move
ment there has been a real selling of stock
The opposition of the Anglo American company

creased the apprehension of the shareholders of
cable companies as to the probability of serious
competition in the near future

HIS SUPPORTERS DECIDE TO TAKE NJ
PART IN CUBAN ELECTIONS.
Havana, Dec. 21.-The supporters Of General
Maso in his candidacy for the Presidency OF the
republic have decided to take part in the
coming elections, fixed for December 81; all the
candidates of the party have withdrawn, and
the Maso members of the provincial boards have
been requested TO resign. These steps were de-
cided upon after a letter had been received
from Governor General Wood refusing TO grant
the party representation on the Board OF Scru-
tiny or an extension of time in which to modify
the voting list.
A resolution was adopted at a meeting of the
party leaders, declaring that the Central Board
is a coalition Of partisans. and that General
Maso after exhausting every means to insure
impartiality, rectitude and justice at the COM
ing elections has become convinced that neither
in official circles in the United States in
Cuba does the intention exist TO that the
elections are carried out with sufficient legality
TO reflect the real wish of the Cubdns, who are
desirous of Independence and anxious to elect
freely their first constitutional government
1t was voted to inform Secretary Root of the
decision arrived at and also TO publish a mani
festo to the country.
La Luche" applauds the withdrawal of the
Maso candidates. and says that without the
guarantees asked from Secretary Root every
one knows that the election will be a falsifca-
ton of the will of the majority.
The Maso coalition" says La Lucha. ="
should not lend themselves to the betrayal Of
the public will and should not cooperate in
policy which tends to lay the foundation of the
republic in a gigantic fraud"
Besides having the so-called Conservatives
with him. Maso is said to have a strong follow
ing among the blacks in the country districts
and it is intiniated in Havana tonight that this
aant mot "a q
condition of things. and may cause trouble
Maso's Conservative leaders. however. say they
have no fear.
The Discussion" the Palma organ. asserts
that the withdrawal of Masos supporters Is
due to the fact that they are hopeless mi
nority, and that their candidates have no chance
of being elected.

MORE TROUBLE
FOR KNOWLTON
Restored Vice Principal
Is Charged With
Incompetency.
Zimmerman Weakens and
Refuses to Stand
Trial.

Ebenezer Knowlton, formerly vice prin-
cipal of the John SWEET School, who was
suspended for one year for offensive re-
marks to his pupils, is in trouble again
At yesterdays meeting of the Board of
Education Principal Lyser filed a report
that Knowlton is so entirely lacking in
the power to properly control children
that the discipline in his class is poor.
Lyser says the only serious accident that
has ever occurred in the schoolyard in
sixteen years was the breaking of a boy S
arm through rough play and that it took
| place when Knowlton was in sole charge
during the noon recess of October IA.
Lyser says further that Knowlton's
him with incompetency and general un-
fitness for teaching. The board set Mon
day at 10 a. m. for the hearing of the
charges.
Mayor Phelan transmitted a petition of
taxpayers requesting that provision be
made in the bond issue for modern
| schoolhouse on Clay street, between Wal
nut and Laurel, instead Of wasting 10000,
/ as now recommended, for the addition of
! four rooms to the present building. The
matter has been attended to by the Su-
pervisors, who have incorporated an item
OF $4,000 for such a building in the decla-
ratory ordinance.
The designations of Mrs. o. Mann and
Mrs. NJ. c. Martin as teachers were ac-
! cepte6.
The oral examination of applicants for
positions on the eligible list of teachers
/
Hall and the Girls High School was desig-
mated as the place for holding the written
competitive examination of applicants on
Monday, December 80, 1901. All applica-
items must be made before December IS,
1901, in accordance with the plan published
IN August, 1901, by the Board of Educa-
ton. All applicants whose applications
have heretofore been made may take the
examinations without reapplication, re-
Eardless of whether they have taken any
OF the examinations and all applicants are
permitted to take either or both of the
examinations to be held in December, 1901.
Owing to the continued illness of Miss
A. NJ. Cobb she was granted a leave of
absence from the Bernal School until jan
Uary 6, 1902. Leave of absence was also
granted to Miss NJ. Simon.
The board met again in the afternoon
TO try William Zimmerman, German
teacher in the Polytechnic School, at his
own request on charges preferred by Prin-
! cipal Bush. Zimmerman had changed his
mIno, however, and the board was pre-
vented from proceeding by a writ of in
junction served at Zimmerman's instance.

WINTER TRAVEL
FROM THE EAST
Cold w Gather Is Driving
Hundreds Of People
to\California.
Local Hotels Are Crowded
and Many Other Visitors
Are Coming.

Visitors are daily arriving in large num-
bers from the East and the winter travel
this year promises to be the heaviest in
the annals of railroad history on the coast
There is quite a fight going on between the
lines running to Florida and those run
ming to California and the officers Of the
competing systems are making elaborate
arrangements for the comfort of those
who are fleeing from the rigid weather
of the East.
California is at present in the lead, as
1t is the most popular objective point for
the travellers. Coronado and Del Monte
expect to do thriving winter business
and the hotels in this city are already
crowded with Eastern visitors
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent by the. Santa Fe and the
Southern Pacific Company in an attempt
to corner the travel. E. o. Mccormick,
passenger traffic manager of the South
ern Pacific, has been working night and
day covering every detail, while George
Nicholson, who holds the same position
with the Santa Fe and makes his head
quarters in Chicago, has put on special
trains to attract travel to the road he
represents.
The Southern Pacific since the first of
the month has been running seven over
land trains daily into this city. Two of
these are over the Sunset, three over the
Ogden and two over the Shasta route.
The Santa Fe has in service one of the
finest trains in the world. 1t is made up
exclusively of sleeping cars and private
coaches are not allowed to be attached to
the train.
The homeseekers' rate, which goes into
effect in the early spring. will not be de-
cided upon until the next meeting of the
TranScontinental Passenger Association,
to be held in New Orleans the early part
of next month. The Southern Pacific
