Negotiations i.;lva now reached
! that stage tiiLt tie redu stion to
writing of certain stipulations
agreed upon is all that obstruct
the work on u cable across the
Pacific to Manila, and thence to
China. The line is safeguarded
so as to be an exclusively Ameri-
can line, and in time of war to
yield it's operation to the Govern
ment. The differences. which
are now adjusted, related to pos
slbie connections with competing
lines which might have ulti-
mately resulted in transfer to a
foreign corporation, and at least
could have wrought confusion in
National control. The enterprise
is that of the Commercial Cable
Company, over which such bitter
controversy was waged by the |
representatives in Congress of a
rival. Suspicion of the good |
faith of the Commercial Com
pany was naturally caused by
the initial intention of connecting
The line at Hong Kong with the
Eastern Cable Extension Com
oany by actually turning over
business to the latter at Manila.
Now the company will build to
1900 miles, and thus ,
secure an independent cable. ;

1t is relief to the regular pa
irons of the theatre to witness a
play different from the rough
farce comedies or strictly sensa-
tiOnal melo dramas which have
acquired such a prominent place
III the field of theatrical attractions
IN the past few seasons. In of-
ferlng Along the Wabash -
which Manager Bendel secured
for Saturday, Dec u, a play of
all entirely different nature will
be produced. The plot, scenery
and characters involved in the pro
duction of Along the Wabasho
account for the success which
this play has attained. A care
fully selected company gives to
the utest tail a produce
tlon of high class. The play is
written in four acts. There is
not dull moment during the ac-
Ting of it, as an interesting plot
md suitable specialties form p
lively interest from the start to

GOV. TAFT on SLAVERY IN SULU.
lie Is Opposed 10 Any Attempt TO Forcibly
IIberate the slaves.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Gov. Taft to-
day continued his testimony before the
House Committee on Insular Affairs, on the
subject Of slavery. He was opposed, he
said. TO any attempt to forcibly liberate
the slaves. Moral suasion had been used
by the commission with marked success,
and he felt that in the course of time the
slave holders would voluntarily free their
slaves The Moros we're not as enlightened
as the other races and he thought IL would
be necessary for the United States TO main
tain a military force among them. as they
recognized no authority except force.
Polygamy existed, he said, only among
the wealthy, being too expensive for the
poor.
Ia reply to Representative Patterson,
Gov. Taft said the Sultan of Jolo was de-
ficient in the performance of .his contract
with the United States. under which he
received a salary Gov. Taft returned to
Cincinnati this evening He expects TO be
under the surgeons care for three weeks
and then leave for Manila, which he ex-
poets TO reach early in June.

Troubles that Lead to In

suit from a Diseased

Nervous System.
Paine's Celery
Compound
The Great Banisher of Nervous
ness in all Its Forms.

Are you a victim of melancholia and do
you brood from day to day? Does the
shrek Of the steam whistle, the rattle Of
wheels or the clangor OF bells cause you to
start and shiver? II this is your condition.
be assured your case is extremely critical
II Is fitting that you should investigate
your condition at once. II you are sleep
less. depressed in spirits. if your mental
movements are slow, il you are subject 10
terrifying hallucinations and an aversion to
food. we say with all earnestness, beware
of insanity and suicide.
The science Of medicine has, thank
Heaven, furnished means for the banish-
ment OF all the troubles referred to. Paine's
Celery Compound is the great restorer and
builder of the weakened and shattered ner-
vous system. This marvellous prescription
of Professor Edward +. Phelps, NJ. d.,
Ii. D.. begins its work directly on the nerves
by bracing them up ii strengthens tissues
and muscles: il causes pure, life giving blood
To flow freely to every part of the body,
carrying health, vigor, JOY, and happiness
into each hour Of life. Beware of remedies
that have no merit or reputation to COM
mend them. they simply aggravate existing
troubles. Ask your druggist for Pane's
Celery Compound the medicine that never
disappoints.

TUNNEL LEGISLATION DELAYED.
Mayor Lows Letter to Assemblyman
Bedeii Delays Action by the Legislature.

ALBANY, March 5.-Mayor Lows letter
to Assemblyman Bedell in regard TO the
Park Avenue tunnel has added 10 the con-
fusion of trying to provide remedy for
the state of affairs existing in New York
city. 1t was thought that at to-days
session of the Assembly Railroads Com
mittee something definite would be done in
the matter of fixing a date when the New
York Central would be obliged TO change
its motive power from steam TO electricity
in operating trains through the tunnel, but
in view of Mayor Lows wish for delay
until he has had an opportunity to confer
with Assemblyman Wainwright, nothing
was done MIR Bedell, chairman of the
committee, will see Gov. Odell at once and
ascertain il he will send in an emergency
message for the passage OF bill curing,
in some measure. the evils complained Of
in relation to the tunnel.
Despite the Mayors letter TO Mr.. Bedell
Mr. Wainwright to-day submitted to the
Railroads Committee substitute measure
for his and Mr.. b edell's. II gives the New
York Central until Jan. !, 1905 inwhich II can
install its plant for the operation of trains
by electricity, and If, in the opinion of the
Railroad Commissioners, an extension OF
time is deemed necessary, the commission
NAV extend the time six months, by which
time the system must be in operation.
This bill seems to meet the views of the
committee and may possibly he reported

SUPT. MCULLaGH'S REPORT.
violation Of Primar, Law In Eoley.DivNer
Fight -- Bribing In Belmont Fight.

ALBANY. March 5.-State Superintendent
Of Elections John McCullagh, in his annual
report transmitted to the Legislature to-day,
says that the most Il lgraEt violations OF the
Primary law at the primary election of 1901
were in the Second. Seventh and Thirty
second Assembly districts in New York
county
In the Second district nearly 200 regis
tered as newly enrolled voters. The pri-
mary election in that district was one Of the
most disgraceful ever held Supt. McCul-
lagh saws, the fight being between the Foley
and Diver factions. Bribery, intimida-
ton and violence. he says. were prevalent
without any effort being made by the police
to prevent IL.
Gross frauds we're discovered in the Seventh
district, but no frauds were actually at
tempted at the election. Disgraceful scenes
were also enacted in the Thirty-second
district, where the Ryan-Frawley fight was
on.
The Primary Election law, in the judg-
ment of Supt. McCullagh, should pre-
scribe longer period Of residence in an
Assembly district than thirty days for per
sons desiring TO participate in primary
election Persons desiring 10. transfer from
one district to another should be subject
to Identification at the time Of the transfer.
For the registration and election OF 1901,
the superintendent had 55s deputies,
reduction Of 2l2 as compared with 1900,
which he declares seriously embarrassed
his work Special attention was given
TO lodging registration and the number
of alleged hotels in the metropolitan dis
tri,t showed large reduction as compared
with former years. The vote from these
hotels showed a reduction of 81 in New
York and Kings.
Owing 10 the lack of deputies. the super
intendent declares. many fraudulent names
were registered and voted on which other
wise might have been prevented Every
election district disclosed frauds in registra-
tion, the total reaching over 5000.
Supt McCullagh criticises the conduct OF
the Police Department in enforcing the Elec-
ton law. and SAYS: THE value of police
supervision of elections is shown by the fact
that since the organizat ion Of his depart
meut not a single person has been convicted
Of violation of the Election law by the po-
lice authorities.
He speaks of the election of Montague
