The Scottish National Antarctic
association, under the leadership of
William S.. Bruce, director of the
laboratory of marine zoology, Edin-
burgh, has completed arrangements

features, including an apparatus for
taking bird's-eye views from kites,
moving picture machines Tor obtain
ing records of the movements of
south sea organisms and 5000 faith
oms of cable, with the object of

NEW CABLE FOR PACIFIC.
Steamer Sails from England to Lap
the Strand Between United
States and Hawaii. J.:

The submarine telegraph cable
which is to join the United States
and Hawaii, as the first link in the
system to the Philippines, has been
completed and placed on board the
cable steamer Silvertown, which
sailed Tor San Francisco, whence the
vessel will Immediately begin laying
the cable to Honolulu. The Silver
town is expected to reach San Fran
cisco early in December. The cable
is wound around three enormous
spools, each 80 feet in diameter. It's
total length is 2,413 miles. The
! strands are one to three inches
thick. The total weight Of the cable
is 10000 tons.
Vice President Ward, of the Com
mercial Pacific Cable company, said
to a representative of the press:
1.-The shipment of the cables give
the assurance, that the United States
may look forward to being in tele-
graphic communication with Homo
lulu by the end of this year. The
manufacture of the remaining three
sections to the Philippines is pro-
ceeding at the rate of SO miles a day
and I am confident they will be fin
ished by March and laid during mex
summer. Two cable steamers, the
Colonla and the Anglia, will lay the
line beyond Hawaii. l would like t<
see the entire project consummatet
by next Fourth of July.
pending the arrival of the Silver
town work will be pushed on tn
underground cable approaches at Sal
Francisco and Honolulu, each sevel
miles long. 1t will take the Silver
town two weeks to unwind he
spools between San Francisco an
Honolulu. The service will begin I'm
mediately thereafter"

AlarMs People.

People living in the Paint Greek
valley, Ohio, are alarmed over the
issuance of smoke and sulphurous
gases from Copperas mountain,
which can be seen from this place.
Ever since the first eruption of Mont
Pelee in Martinique smoke has issued
from Copperas mountain at inter
walls. Within the last few days the
smoke and gas have become especial
ly noticeable.
Investigation shows that the slate
in the mountain has become hot and
some of it has become a dull red
from the action of the heat. The
smoke issues from the side and not
the top of the mountain and scien-
lists will be asked to make a thor
ough investigation.

IT'S AN ILL WIND
Bad Luck of Germans Helps the
American Farmers.
Cold, Unreasonable weather In
Former Country Cuts Down the
Crops, Creating Demand for
! American Products.

Germany will undoubtedly furnish
a large market for the abundant crop
of American farmers, as abnormally
of German crops and reduced the yield.
This unreasonable weather, which has
existed SO long and continued until
late in August, assumes the character
of an impending calamity to the cereal
harvests of the year. Official advices
received at the department. of state
are to the effect that until early in
August the season. although remark
ably late, was still hopeful, and the
condition of the growingcrops on June
Is and a month later was, in general,
quite above that of the preceding year.
But as the time came for the wheat
and rye to ripen, the cold, wet. cloudy
weather kept back the harvest long
after the usual date, and when the
work of gathering in the grain finally
began greatly complicated the task
of saving the crops. In many fields
the rye and wheat have been cut and
lain in swaths or put in shocks, ex-
posed to rain and, storm, until the
grain has been seriously damaged by
%sprouting.
The first samples of the new croI
of rye are almost without .~sxcsntior
damp, more or every organ q Sver
when artiicially ofief 2
grade. While the German grain cropthis
year will be nearly up to the average
in quantity, its quality has been Sc
riously damaged and large quantitie'
of rye which would have been USE
as breadstuff will now be distilled o
used for feeding animals. 1t is to-
early TO estimate the extent of thi
damage, but accounts from all part
of the empire indicate it will be cor
siderable.

TUBERCULOSIS GIVEN TO PIGS.

DR.. Barrel, of the Pasteur institute
at Paris, states that guinea pigs
%inoculated with skin from an arm
of DR.. Garnault, who attempted to
disprove Prof. Koch's theory that
tuberculosis could not be communi-
Gated to human beings by animals
and in order to do so had himself
inoculated with bacilli from a con-
sumptive COW, have developed symp-
toms of tuberculosis. The doctors,
however, do not consider that this
isolated case has disproved Prof.
Koch's contention. DR.. Garnault
himself is perfectly well.

AMNESTY URGED FOR
PRISONERS In CUBA
President Roosevelt Request
ed to Pardon Americans.

President Roosevelt has been urged to
grant a general amnesty 10 all Americans
imprisoned in Cuba at the time the iude-
pendent government is installed The Gu
bans who viii be prominent IN the gov
ernment are anxious to avoid The heri-
tage of American prisoners with which
they are now threatened.
It is said that the President is not par
ticularly taken with the idea, because it
does not harmonic with his frugal use of
the power Of pardon. It IS considered
doubtful, therefore, bat he viii declare
the amnesty unless some stronger reason
for so doing is presented than has been
thus far.
The desire for the amnesty Is said to
be strong IN Cuba, and it is not improba-
bic that the Cuban congress may adopt
a resolution requesting President Roose-
welt to take such action before the gov
e---ent is turned over.
When the Spanish control of the island
was withdrawn the governor general de-
clared an amnesty Of all Spanish subjects,
including those natives known as the
Spanish volunteers. By its provisions all
persons not hostile to Spain who we're
Imprisoned for any crime were released
and those accused were restored to civil
rights No decision in any direction on
the subject has been reached by the Pres

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE
RESTORES TSENG- CHI
Manchu1ian General Gets Back All Ranks
and Honors That He Lost.

SHANGHAI, May S.-An imperial edict
was issued today restoring TO Tscng-chi,
the Tartar general in Manchuria, all the
ranks and honors from which he was cash
Tered some time ago. Tseng-chi made a
secret treaty with Russian in regard TO
Manchuria and was cashiercd because of
the protest made against his action by the
southern viceroys.
The present restoration of his honors
shows how potent is the Russian influ-
ence. It confirms previous statements
that Russia could dictate this appoint
ment. The Russian hold upon Manchuria
can now be considered as solid and per
manent.
No further progress has been made in
the taTih treaty negotiations.
Viceroys Liu-kun-yi and Chang-chih-
tung with Taotai Sheng have memorial
ized the throne asking that decorations be
conferred on the foreign consuls al Shang-
hal who made the Yangtze compact during
