alarming precautions are on foot TO
deal with the outbreak. The total of
smallpox cases in London now amounts
to only about 900, but the cases are so
scattered that they create the greatest
anxiety.
Medical men point out that the dan
ger lies not so much in the proportion
to the population as in the proportion
to the usual smallpox figures of the
metropolis, which generally scarcely
amount to a score per annum.
LondOn's laboratories are all phenom-
enally busy in turning out lymph.
thousands Of tubes of which are daily
supplied, but even so the demand can
not be met. Almost all of the large
firms are ordering their employees to be
vaccinated. Corporations are appro-
priating sums for the erection of small
pOX additions to the hospitals, while
several steamers have been purchas ed
in London for the accommodation of
the present and expected patients. EX-
pert opinions prophesy that the cpl
demic will not reach its height until
May. The effect of such condition
of things on the coronation, interna-
tiOnal business and English trade is
almost incalculable.

MAY NOT NEED THE CABLE
LEGISLATORS INVESTIGATING
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE effect Of
wireless telegraphy on the future Of
the submarine cable was developed 10
some extent today by the house COM
mittee on commerce in connection with
the hearing or the proposed Pacific
cable. The hearing was largely at
tended, Vice President Ward of the
Pacific Commercial Gable company con-
tinuing his statement of yesterday. He
said he believed the company he rep
resented would be able to make exclu-
sive traffic arrangements from points
beyond the Philippines and connecting
with China and Japan.
He maintained that while there was
no purpose to set up a monopoly, yet
it was likely his company would have
exclusive traffic arrangements with the
far east. He also stated that there
would be questions as TO the right Of
the United States to dand a cable on
foreign shores. representative Stewart
of New Jersey interposed the state
ment that Germany's present course
against Venezuela showed that the Ger
man government made little distinction
between public and private rights, SO
that a government cable station would
! have about the same status as pri-
vate station.
Chairman Hepburn asked a series Of
questions as to the effect of wireless
| telegraphy on the submarine cable. Mr..
| Ward replied that the new system pre-
| scented a serious question. He was not
sure that the Pacific cable project
would have been undertaken If the
| long-distance experiments had begun
| earlier. AS to the claims that wire
less signals had been conveyed 1000
miles across the Atlantic, Mr.. Ward
said that if the claims were made good
they would deter people from laying
any more cables.
When asked as to the effect thus far
on the cable business, Mr.. Ward said
it had depressed cable interests. Mr.
Stewart wanted to know if the 'cable
companies had not chased MarcOni out
of Canada" to which Ward answered
that he believed the cable companies
had insisted upon certain exclusive
rights they held.
James Foord stated that the AsiatiC

orient, favored under private control

The incident was the most exciting

tending that the complaint did not

The attorneys for Shurtliff then asked
that he be not sent to the reform school

that Shurtliff has learned valuable
lesson and that the suspension of sent
ence win work as great good as if he
had been sent to the reform school or
sentenced to Jail.
