GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
PACIFIC CABLE FAVORED.

pany would not come in for any share of
the business, and with Government own
ership. there would be no cost TO either
of the telegraph companies.
The Question Personal.
Representative Wanger suggested that
Mr.. Mackay had said he would lay the
cable if given The right to do So and
asked whether he considered that 4 bona
fide offer or merely proposition TO Sc
cure Congressional delay for two years
MIR. Clark said that was a personal ques-
ticn as TO Mr.. Mackay's honesty which
he did not like to answer.
Both General Greedy and Admiral Brad
ford strongly favored Government own
ership. General Greely stated that there
had been 10.000 miles CT cable lines laid
by the Government. In the Philippines il
was impossible to get private corpora
tioGs to undertake the enterprise.
Needed in War and Peace.
In answer to questions from Repre-
sentative Davis, both General Greedy and
Admiral Bradford said that without re-
gard to competition OF private company
or profit frcm use by the public they
strongly favored a Government cable,
arguing that it was needed in time of
peace and absolutely necessary in time of
war. General Greedy stated that the
other great Powers of the world were lay
ing, owning. and controlling their own
cables. He cited the instances of Eng
land. France, and Germany in the Orient.
The milk in the cocoanut. he declared.
was that private corporations did not
want it. II the United States was to retain
the Philippine Islands, he asserted. it was
absolutely necessary TO have its cable to
Manila.
No American News.
He said he was surprised to find how
soon men who went there became un-
Americanized. They heard news about
the German Emperor kissing Count Wal
dersee on both checks, but never a word
Of affairs in the United States.
The foreign Governments, he said,
owned 1ST cable lines. He admitted, how
ever, that Spain had given an exclusive
concession to the Eastern Company, but
he did not think the concession valid.
Admiral Bradford spoke in much the
same tone as General Greedy.

RumOr States Indianian AS
Interior Chief.
CAPTAIN HARRY STEWART NEW.
Prcsidcnt's Personal Friend May
Succeed Secretary Hitchcock
Wieids Big Influence in Hoosier
state POlitics-Member of Repub-
.;SHa National Committee.

Rumors of Cabinet changes have been
rather infrequent during the last week
The retirement Of Postmaster General
SI1it, aod the accession to his position of
Henry ., Payne. together with the ap-
preaching deliverance Of the keys of the
Treasury by Secretary Gage to Leslie ".
Shaw, of Iowa, produced a Quietus in the
rumor factory.
1t has been persistently stated. how
ever. that Secretary Hitchcock would re-
tire from the Presidents official family
before many weeks. The latest phase of
this possibility is that he will be sue
ceeded by Harry Stewart New. of Indiana,
Republican National Committeeman from
the Hoosier State. editor and publisher Of
the indianapolis Journal and close per-
sonal friend of President Roosevelt.
Figure in Politics.
Captain New is not perhaps widely
known outside the Hoosier State, but
there he is a potent figure in politics.
He is just past forty-three years of age.
He wields powerful influence in party
affairs when he sees fit to put forth the
effort. During the Spanish war he served
in the volunteers as captain and assist
ant adjutant general. He is close to
President Roosevelt politically and per-
sonally, and when here the other day
lunched at the White House.
The political bearing OF News selection
for a Cabinet place reaches far beyond
the confines of Indiana. The chief candi-
dacy for the next Republican Presiden-
tal nomination up to the time of Presi-
dent McKinley's death was that Of Sen
ator Fairbanks OF Indiana.
Dark Clouds for Fairbanks
News entrance into the Cabinet Of
President Roosevelt would mean the
postponement of Fairbanks candidacy to
a more convenient season, thus remov
ing from the Presidents path the most
dangerous competitor ne is likely to have
two years hence.
1t would be unnatural il President
Roosevelt did not, under the circum-
stances, desire Presidential nomination
at the hands of his party, and Presi-
Dental election at the hands of the peo-
pie Heretofore no Vice President who
has become President because Of the
death of his chief has ever SO much as
been nominated for President.
Tho ambition to break this dismal rec
ord of failure is natural one. He GER
tainly would like to be President by right
of his own election to that place, instead
of going iG.o history as, to quote what
John TyIer's coachman once said he was,
"a sort of a second hand President"

The Two Engaged in a Quar-
rel in Which Former Fell
a Victim to the Lat
ter's Unerring Aim.

Another tragedy was added to Washing
toms long list yesterday afternoon, when
John Ward, q hard working negro man
about thirty years old, met death, it is
charged, by the police, at the hands of
Robert fEdeline, another negro about the
same age. Ward was struck on the head
by large lump of coal thrown by Ede
line. The two negroes formerly drove coal
carts for a dealer whose yard is located
at $40 Pennsylvania Avenue southeast,
and were in the habit of skylarking in the
ward almost every day.
Met Death While SI1yIarking.
1t was while at this play that Ward met
his death yesterday. The two met at
the coal pile in the yard and began to
make fun of each other. Ward it is
claimed by Edelne. became angry at a
remark Edeline made regarding his feet.
and picked up lump of coal and started
to throw it. EdeIiHe also seized piece of
coal and threw it at Ward. The missile
struck Ward squarely in the forehead,
and he fell as ii shot.
Rendered All the Aid He Could.
Edeline saw by the blood that he was
badly hurt, and summoned the ambulance
of the Emergency Hospital. He assisted
in placing the injured man in the ambu-
lance, and previous to its arrival, bathed
