TYPE-PRiNTING TELEGRAPH.
= French Invention Makes One Wire
Do the Work of Five.


Consul General Guenther. at Frankfort.
Germany. calls the attention of the State
Department 10 what Is known as the
Baudot multiplex type-printing telegraph.
which he says is rsvoIut oni=ins telegra-
ply in Europe. According to the Cologne
Gazette this invention operates so ex-
cellently that the results in tie Berlin and
Paris line have surpassed ell ex7ectations
Since the main Office has educ~.6d a suf-
fcfent number of operators fog the Bau-
dot apparatus the system is now regu-
larIy in use during the Sreay-r part OF
the day
1t has been demonstrated says Con
SUI General Guenther. that the whole
telegraph business between Berlin and
Paris, which heretofore required five tele-
graph lines, can now be easily done over
one by means of the Baudot system.
The operation is perfect and uninfu-
enced by minor Interruptions Of the con-
duit. The work for the operators Is not
more arduous than with the Hughes ap-
paratus. It is to be regretted, says the
article. that the new system is not suit
able for long cables, otherwise the Ger
man-English cable would profit at once
The new successes in quick and multi
pick telegraphy win create peculiar sit
uation for the administration of the tele-
graphic service. If the b udOt system
be introduced all over Germany, and, in
addition. if the quick Telegraph of Pollak
and Eirag be utilized for newspaper tele-
grams, and If Prof Slaby succeeds in ap-
plying his discoveries concerning multi
pleX-spark tsiegrdphy to ordinary wires.
then il viii be only a question Of 4 short

The Scandals at Manila.

The wonder is. not that the snug
Cling and military stores scandals
which are beginning TO be heard
of in the Philippines, are posi-
BILE. but that they were no.
exposed long ago. Otis had been only a
short time in command when private
letters to this country by the score al
legged that prominent people, influential
with the local authorities, were enrich
ing themselves by means of almost open
trade with the rebels; by having Gov
eminent supplies condemned, which
they would buy in and resell to the
Government; and by other collusiye
and nefarious means. For months the
independent press of the country kept
warning the Administration that it
would have something on its hands
worse than the rotten beef and Alger
relief scandal unless 1t took measures
10 purify conditions at Manila. which
were as notorious as they We're hagrant
Nothing happened. The smuggIers.
Io0ters. and thieves were singularlv
fortunate in having friends at home
with political or some other sort Of in
fUence sufficient TO prevent a thorough
investigation. NOW il is made plain
that there should have been one a year
and a half ago. in which case millions
might have been saved To the Treasury
When We hear that as a result Of the
arrest Of one single gang thousands Of
bags OF -four and thousands of sides Of
bacon have been traced 10 the hands OF
one contractor. who certainly did not
get them from the Government in
regular manner, some conception may
be had Of the extent 10 Fhich the reign
Of robbery has been allowed - develop
and flourish.
Bad as the disclosures are already.
there is TOO much reason for believing
that they are merely symptomatic in
comparatively small way Of widespread
conditions which have existed al
most from the first day Of the
regime Of doddering ineflciency
=..dsr Otis. Now that the Ice
has been broken, II p = - hoped that
the scandal may be fully ventilated and
proper justice done to the thieves. It
IS very depressing 70 think that honest
administration in our new territories
appears 90 be impossible; but the fact
Is not particularly astonishing when
one remembers The example set before
carpetbag officials by people higher in
authority.

The Venezuelan Difficulty.

A great deal of resentment is being
expressed in Administration circles
over what is officially regarded as a
defiant attitude on the part of Nenezu-
ella toward this Government Probably
there is not much doubt about the fact,
but il may be well TO remember that
perhaps there is some excuse for it.
President Castro, Just elected TO fill out
the anexDired term of his predecessor,
Is confronted with n serious revolution
headed by his OLD rival and friend of the
Asphalt Trust. General Andrade. There
are said to be circumstances tending
to cause a belief in President CastTo's
mind that the rebellion is being encour-
aged and financed by the trust In this
view ne may be wrong. Of course In
this country we all know how honest,
pure. and high minded the trusts are
What the Nenezuelans see is this dan
ger added to the apparent determine
ton of the Washington Administration
to back the Asphalt Trust irrespective
of the justice or otherwise Of its cause

claims the FeIicidad deposit against the
trust has made far better showing in
the American press than has its oppo-

MINING AMONG LAPLANDERs,
\ New HnrbOr Provides an Outlet
for the Iron Ore

Tor the IRON oFF
Richard Guenther. United States Con-
sui General at Frankfort. Germany. re-
fzrring TO the mining development of Lap
land. writes to the State Department as
follows:
German papers report that new har-
Dor is being constructed at the north of
the Scandinavian Peninsula. for the chief
purpose of shipping the immense quanti-
ties of iron ore found in Lapland. The iron
mines Of Geufvare and Luossovaara
have been developed to such an extent
within the last ten years that better IA
cilities FOR export of the ore have become
an urgent necessity.
The new harbor will be named FictO-
ria Harbor, and its entire northern shore
of more than half a mile viii be used ex-
cIusively for the shipment OF ore pro
duced IN the above-na med mining dis
tricts.
The Government Of Norway has
bought an extensive tract along the south
side of the harbor- The harbOr will BE-
constructed after the plans of that Of
Duluth, Mimi. The total cost Of the docks
anu buildings is estimated at $4,000: the
cost Of the docks proper, at about s65er0Je
The plans for the new city to be built
there are nearly completed and many
houses are built and some streets laid out
already Of late. new iron deposits OF
enormous extent have been discovered in
Iapland, aud steps for developing them
nave been taken. 4 daily production OF
5,tD9 tons of ore is expected Some Of
these claims have been bought by Bel
gian company
Several English and German experts
have lately been exploring this region for

discoveries are said to have been made

one of the chief reasons why it would
never do for this country TO permit Cuba
to start in as a fun sovereign State is
that there is strong evidence Of an in
tantioH on the part Of European holders
OF the Spanish Cuban bonds to induce
their Governments to bring pressure upon
Cuba for their payment, Is soon as the
United States has retired from the island
There is little doubt that one or two
European States would listen TO such an
appeal, and create a possibly serious in
ternationaI difficulty for this country. If,
however, the United States shall retain
control of Cuba's war, treaty, and debt

debt OF from four hundred to six hundred
