Commercial Company Has Ac.
cepted Conditions Imposed
by the Government.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Clarence w.
Mackay, president of the Commercial
Pacific Cable company; George Ward,
vice president, and William NJ. Cook,
general counsel for the company, had
an interview today with the attorney
general with respect to the conditions
prescribed by President Roosevelt for
constructing a trans-Pacific cable
These conditions were approved by the
president in July last, since which time
the Pacific Gable company has not Of
ficially notified the government as TO
its intention or willingness to accept
them. Today, however, Mr.. Maclay
explained to the attorney general that
the delay was caused by pr0tracted
negotiations, which have only been
brought to a conclusion within the last
few days to secure a landing place in
China to comply with the president 5
condition that an independent Amsri-
can line should be constructed from
Manila to H0ngkong, thus giving an
all-American through line to the Asiat-
ic continent 1t was this condition that
was supposed to be the one that the
cable company would be unwilling OF
unable to comply with. 1t now an
nounces its ability and intention &c
construct a line from Manila TO Shang-
hal. distance of about 1,200 miles
and TO have the same completed within
year.
owing to the claim by the Pacific
Cable people that, as they read one O
the other conditions. il will practically
prevent the necessary relations with
existing lines in China to secure tbs
transmission of American messages L
interior points, that provision is being
recast to obviate misunderstanding
and will be submitted to the presiden

Automobile Poachers.

"A Paris correspondent tells Of some

who used their Gear" as a trap for
the game and made off with enor-
nous "bags" of plumber while the
gamekeeper slept. The trick was so
clever that, barring the feelings Of
the birds who failed Of being "pre-
served" for the guns of sporting own
ers, the automobile poachers must be
congratulated on accomplishing their
purpose They pretended to have
broken down while driving along the
high road, and told the peasants and
the gamekeeper, with many lamenta-
lions, they would be forced to remain
all night in the field adjacent. The
gamekeeper, though he says it was
against his will, aided the men in
moving the car to a place Of safety
until certain repairs could be effected.
These repairs" were made In the
dead OF night by robbing the pre-
serves Of nearly every partridge and
quail they contained and making OF
with the booty.

FLOATING Button Factory.


Taking the factory to the raw ma
terial instead Of bringing the material
to the factory, is an innovation just
put in operation on the Mississippi
river by button factory, and it is
plan that has many practical advan-
tages.
This factory is about forty-two feet
long and twelve feet wide, fitted with
all the necessary machinery for the
manufacture Of buttons, and provided
with three-horse-power engine for
it's work.
The principal material used by this
factory is mussel shells, which are
found at nearly all points along the
river, and one of the great expenses
in conducting the business heretofore
has been the cost Of transporting the
shells Now the factory has reversed
the operation and will go to the mus
sells.
When bed Of shells is found the
boat will drop its anchor and go to
work When the bed is exhausted 1t
will move on to new location. In
this fashion 1t will go from state to
state, from Minnesota to Louisiana,
passing along with the seasons, and
always enjoying the most desirable
weather of the Mississippi valley.
