After tbey had spent an hour in jail
Judge Dunno released the prisoners on

The American criticised Judge Han
ecy's decision Of the gas trust case while

renee aud Garfield against the court. the
Judge ruled, was the writing aud pnblica-
ton Of an article implying thai the Judge
was influenced in his decision in favor Of
the gas trust, by his political aspira-
lions and the power OF trusts.
In his opinion. Judge Hanecy contends
that il the court loses the power To com

THE PHILIPPINE CABLE.
Its Laying the Most Stupendous of
Modern Undertakings.

Its Laying the Most Stupendous of
Modern Undertakings.
The most stupendous undertaking of
modern times, the laying of the new Pa
cific cable, will be undertaken before the
close Of the present year, and within nine
months this country will be in Geographic
communication with Honolulu and year
later with Manila. 1t will approach a
globe-circling achievement, for it will be
the connecting link between the existing
lines that will place all part of the
world in communication with each other.
And pretty long LINK it will be. for the
distance to be traF ersed by the cable will
be 6,9t2 miles. The completion of this
line will bring the aggregate teIegraphic
system of the world up to toCal of 164,-
$50 miles, all of which, With the excep-
ton of 1911 owned by various govern
ments, will be under the control of pri-
vate corporations.
The promoters of this gigantic under
taking are John W. Mackey and his as
sociates, Edward c. Plat, Albert Beck,
George C. Ward, Albert B. Chandler and
William w. Cook. These capitalists viii
ask of Congress authority TO construct
the line. 1t has not yet been definitely
determined whether or not a subsidy will
be asked; it is probable that only the CO.
operation of the government will be re-
quested, together with the detail of a
naval officer to assist in the laying of
the cable. Rear Admiral Bradford of
the bureau of equipment. who has given
the enterprise much study, will probably
be the man selected for this duty, and
II could nor deyolye nDon n more CONNIE
tent man. Admiral Bradford estimates
that the total cost of the work will
amount to $10,000.000.
In return for the concessions the gov
eminent will be requested to grant the
company. compensation will be given in
the form of reduced rates on messages
and absolute control of the cable if it is
doomed advisable in case of war

Why should the nations of Europe
worry about our exports to their
shores? Most of the goods go over in
their ships The more goods we sell
them the more fares will go into the
treasures Of the transatlantic liners
OF course, this may not always con
tinue but it has been a rich plan for
the British, the Germans, the Dutch.
the French, and even smaller maritime
nations, and now they are trying to
outdo one another In building new
fleets Of bigger and faster boats.
Not only that. but lots Of the money
they send US goes back again In the
form Of railrad fares, all over Europe,
hotel bills. fees aud tips innUmerable
and all the lavish expenditure Of
host Of rich travellers. The balance Of
trade Is in our favor. but we are not
mean about spending the money, and
Europe viii think several times before
she turns our picture to the wall.

Blind People In Russia.

There are more than twice as many
blind persons in Russia as in the whole.
of the rest of Europe. They number
10000. which is equivalent to two in.
every 1000 of the population. In
Great Britain and France the propor-
ton is not quite l per 1000. II Is be-
lieyed that blindness In Russia Is so
prevalent because of the length Of time
which snow lies on the ground and
also owing to the uncleanly habits OF
the people.

The two houses will lie ready toz N,,j;k %
the opening day of the session bra there
will be little actual work done exc p; IN
the way of preparation hefo.e TIE h0.i
days. A large proportion of the eaGihg
members of both houses have founI 1t
convenient to visit Washington since the
death of President Mckinley ana hare
held conferences with President Roose
1t.
As a result of all these conferences 4
fairly accurate idea has been gained as
to the general outlook for legislation at
this session of Congress. There is Il
strong sentiment among both Representa-
tiyes and Senators that the Inauguration
Of work on the Nicaragua canal is to be
the principal outcome of the legislation
of the first session of the Fifty-seyenth
Congress, and unless there is some most
unexpected slip in the negotiations the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, permitting the
building of the canal. will be ratified by
the Senate early in the session.
With that must come before long the
ratification of treaties between the Unit
ed States and the two isthmian countries
of Costa RIGA and Nicaragua 1t is be-
lieved that all these treaties can be dis
posed of with little difficulty in the Sen
ate. 1t is believed the construction of
the canal will be turned over to the en-
gineer officers of the army, but that there
will necessarily be a commission repre-
senting the government and this body
will probably be a permanent one. In any
event, it is believed the Nicaragua cana!
will be the foundation stone of the actual
work of the coming session.
Trusts, Tariff and Reciprocity.
There are three topics of legislation
which, it is asserted by the old heads of
Congress, will be given careful attention,

the question of speed entirely our o. cor
sideration.
The Representatives OF the agricultural
districts particularly insist that no money
shall be paid out except TO increase the
actual commerce of the United States.
They would consent TO liberal payments
for carrying the mail, wherein speed
wanld be consideration. but they insist
that the ships which carry freight are
nece:s., ,arily slow-going, and that a speed
subsidy is inevitably a mere bonus to pas

General Legislation.
In thti way of general legislation con-
siderable work is likely To be done be-
cause this is the long session. A river and
harbor bin is said TO be Inevitable. Pres
ident Roosevelt has practically iecided,
il is believed, to incorporate in his mes

to be extraordinary appropriations for
