QUESTION OF OIL RATES
MEsSRS. GAMBLE AND BRIGHT At
TENDED THE HEARING.
Were Present at the Meeting Before the
Railroad Commission at Austin.
Their Opinions.

Mr. n. W. Gamble of the firm Of R. W.
Gamble & Co. returned yesterday from
Austin, where he attended the oil hearing
before the railroad commission Saturday.
Mr.. Gamble stated that the hearing was
very interesting one, and will Doubtless
prove even more interesting at today's ses-
sion.
In his opinion the evidence introduced
all tended TO show that the best interests
OF the State demanded lower rate on
fuel oil beyond what is known as the com
mon point territory. THE contention Sat
urday, however said Mr.. Gamble, was
mainly between the Ignite and coal mine
owners on one side, and the North Texas
fuel consumers on the other. Quite natural
~ the Ignite men are opposed to reduc-
tlon In the present rates on oil and they
placed themselves in the attitude OF begging
For protection. even though the welfare Of
the state as u whole might be injured
thereby | was very much surprised, in
fact, to see that the matter was not dis
cussed on broad proposition in which
the future growth and prosperity of the
State were to be considered. The great
need Of Texas Is industrial development
and cheap fuel will procure this. Beau
mont can furnish an unlimited quantity or
cheap fuel and freight rates should be
made low enough to warrant its general
use"

If there is any truth in the saving that han
piness i4 the absence of all pain, mental and
physical, the enjoyment of it can only be
found in heaven. But so far as the physical
Ia concerned, 1. is within easy rea h at least
measurably SO, as far as cure will go. The
sum of human misery in this line is made up
ofgreater or less degrees of physical snff ring.
The minor aches and pains which aflict man
kin are easy to reach and as easily cured.
There are none in the whole category, which,
If taken in time, cannot be cured. They must
in some form afhict the nerves, the bones, the
muscles and joints of the human body. They
are all more or less hurtful and wasteful to
the system. st. Jacobs Oil is made to cura
them, to search cut hidden pain spots, and to
cure promptly in a true remedial and lasting
way. Very, very many have not known hap
piness for years till they used it, and very

cause they don't use it.

Admiral Higglnson, who commanded
the Massachusetts of the Flying
| Squadron, gave his testimony brusque-
ly. He related the particulars of the
run from Key West to Cienfuegos and
| beyond, said that lie had not been adj
vised by Commodore Schley Of any
plan of attack upon the Spanish YES
sells, If met, that the blockade off San
tiaeo was maintained at from three to
one and one-half miles, and that the
line was closer to shore at night than
during the day.
objection was made to the inquiry
by Judge Advocate Lemly as to what
impression was made upon the wit
ness by Rear-Admiral Schley's con
duet during the brief firing upon the
Cristobal Colon in the mouth of San
tiago Harbor on May 81, and was sus-
tanned. Later, several questions pro-
posed by the Court We're submitted
by Judge Advocate Lemly, n of
| which, understood to have been framed
by Rear-Admiral Benham, sought to
ascertain whether the witness thought
Commodore Schley had done every
thing in his power to capture or de-
! stroy the Colon, and was answered by
Rear-Admiral Higginson with, NO; L
don't think it was" before the objec-
ton of Rear-Admlral Schley's counsel
could be made, After argument by
Mr.. Raynor, the question was with
1ravrn.
Captain Giles 3. Harder, who was
executive officer of the Texas, differed
from Rear-Admiral Higginson in that
he stated that the blockading distances
maintained by Commodore Schley
We're from seven to ten miles instead
of from one to three, and also in as
sorting that. the distance observed at
night was greater than that held by
day. With regard to the difficulties
of coaling at Santiago he made less of
them than Rear-Admiral Higginson,
saying that they were not greater than
at Tortugas when he had coaled the
Texas there.
Major Thomas N. Wood, Marine
Corps, who was Captain of the Marine
Guard on the Massachusetts, repeated
an overheard remark said to have
been made by Commodore Schley, dur
ing the firing at Santiago on May 81,
when Wood was eight feet away from
the conversation. Schley was report
ed to have said: "Starboard your
helm, and let's get out of this" Rear
Admiral Higginson did not refer to
this direction by Commodore Schley.
When questioned by the Judge Advo-
cate about this remark, the witness IS
serted that he had heard it Fairly dis
tlnctly."
The proceedings of the day brought
no surprises except the conflict of
testimony of HIgginson and HARDER
as to the blockading distances OBJ
served by the fleet under Schley.

Summary of Weekly Reports to the
Weather Bureau at Washington.
Washington, D. C.-Following is the
Weather Bureaus weekly summary of
crop conditions:
Late corn has been damaged to some
extent by heavy frosts in North Dako-
ia and portions of Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri and Iowa, the percentage of
damage in the last named State being
very small. The crop has also suf-
fered some slight damage on low
lands in Indiapa and Ohio, but the
bulk Of the crop east of the Mississip-
pi River is matured and safe from in
jury from frost.
The heavy rains in the South Allan
tic and East Gulf States caused much
injury to cotton, and the reports from
the central and western districts Of
the cotton belt continue to show the
u~nfavorable effects of the rains of the
previous week. In the central and
eastern districts much open cotton has
been discolored and considerable beat
en- out, while rotting and ~sprouting
are quite generally reported.
But little damage was done by frost
to tobacco in the Ohio Valley, and
none elsewhere. In the Middle Allan
tic States and New England the crop
has been housed in good condition.
Favorable reports concerning apples
continue from Kansas; more
ing statements are also received from
portions of Arkansas and Tennessee.
and a slight improvement in late ap-
pies in Missouri is indicated; elsewhere
the apple outlook continues unpromis.

INSANE ASYLUM BURNED
Institution at Norfolk, Neb.. De-
stroyed and Two inmates Killed
Lunatics Rescued with Diflculty - MAJ
Resisted the Efforts Made to save
Them-Daring Work of Attendants.

Lincoln, Neb.-The Norfolk Asylum
for Insane the second largest in the
State, was destroyed by fire. There
were 312 patients, male and female, in
the institution, and some forty attend
ants and workmen. During the ex-
element eight patients got away.
These were all found. Only one man
persisted in the fire. He was Victor
Casper from Brown County. He ran
back twice into the building and the
last tint threw himself into the
flames. One other. a patient named
%Jepherson, from Knox County, was
fatally burned. Several others were
slightly burned. Many Of the patients
resisted and had to be taken out by
force. In some cases the rescuer had
to batter down stone castings and
wrench out iron bars.
Prompt and daring work Of the at.
tendants, who ran up burning stair
ways and climbed shaky ladders to
bring down terrified and sometimes
unwilling patients. saved at least two
score lives. The flames were so close
that in a number of instances both
rescuer and rescued were burned.
The fire started from defective wir-
ing In a tunnel which contained the
electric wire and heating pipes. This
tunnel ran underneath one wing at the
extreme end of the rectangle of build
ings. When discovered by the night
Waterman the fire had attained n
Roadway and was irresistible. In fif-
teen minutes the water supply was
exhausted, and the whole row of brick
and stone buildings was at the mercy
of the flames.
The officers kept the patients In the
distant wings under lock and key,
hoping it might not be necessary to
turn them loose. Those released We're
quickly huddled in groups, but the
roaring flames in the blackness of the
night acted like an irritant on the
nerves of maniacs, and they filled the
air with shouts.
The asylum Is three miles from the
town Of Norfolk. and it vas not until
help arrived from the city that the
maniacs were got under control, and 1t
was safe to release them from their
cells. Special trains were made up
In n few hours and 200 of the patients

PACIFIC CABLE IS ASSURED
1t viii Run to Hawaii, the Philip
pines, China and Japan.
WILL BE READY IN TWO YEARS

The Commercial Pacific Cable Company
incorporated to Connect New Yorh
City With the Far East-Present Gable
Rates VIII Be Reduced From Thirty
to Sixty Per Cent.
Albany, n. Y.-The Commercial Pa
cifc Cable Company has been incor-
porated with a capital of 100000. The
general route of the company Is from
New York City across the United
States to California, thence under the
Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands,
thence to the Philippine Islands, touch
ing other islands in the Pacific
Ocean.
The directors are John W. Mackay,
of Virginia City, New; George G.
Ward, Albert Beck, William W. Cook,
and George Clapperton, of New York
City; Albert b. Chandler and Edward
O. Plat, of Brooklyn, and Clarence
II. Mackay, Of Roslyn, /. /.
In explaining the purposes Of the
new company John w. Mackay said
that the Commercial Pacific Gable
Company had been organized for the
purpose OF laying Il submarine cable
from California to the Philippine ISL
ands by way eff Honolulu, in the Ha-
waiian Islands. The length of the ca
bic win be about $500 miles.
The part first laid will be from Cali.
fornia to the Hawaiian Islands. a dis
lance of about 2200 miles. 1t is ex-
pected that this portion will be in
operation within nine months. The
time required for the laying of the re-
mainder of the cable from the Ha-
waiian Islands to the Philippine ISL
ands will depend upon how quickly
the cables can be manufactured. Mr..
Mackay believes that the whole cable
will be in operation within two years
from this date.
Mr.. Mackay further explained that
the new cable, when 1t reached the
Philippines, would connect at that
point with the present submarine ca
Bile running from the Philippines to
Japan, and also the cable running
from the Philippines to China, and
that a direct route from China and
Japan to the United States would
thereby be established, which he be-
lieved would be of the greatest bene-
fit to the growing commerce and trade
between the United States and the
Far East.
At present cablegrams from China
to the United States have to be sent
by way Of Europe. Mr.. Mackay also
stated that the present cable rates
from the United States to the Philip.
pines and to China and Japan would
be reduced, when the new cable ia
laid, from thirty to sixty per cent.

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS FREED.
Court Released Six Suspects For Lack of
Evidence Against Them.

Chicago. The sil Chicago Anar-
chists, arrested on the night of Sep
TENDER 6 in this city on suspicion OF
being implicated in a plot to assassin
ate President Mckinley, were released
on habeas corpus proceedings by
Judge Chetlain, OF the Cook County
Superior Court.
Attorney Howard s. Taylor, repre-
senting the city, said to Judge Chef
lain that as no evidence had been Sc
cured against the suspects the city did
not wish them to be held longer.
The attorneys for the suspects asked
for a hearing so that their innocence
could be established, but the Judge
ruled that it was unnecessary, in view
of the fact that there was no evidence
to support the charge.
The suspects arraigned were: Abra-
ham Isaak, editor of Free Society;
Abraham Isaak, Jr.. Clarence Pfuttz-
ner, H. Havil, Alfred Schneider and
Henry T%recegilo.
