KING EDWARD IN LONDON.
Stands Erect in The Landau, Bow
ing And Smiling.
APPARENTLY NOT FATlGUED,

London, Aug. S.-Judging by APP
pearances, the king not only will be
able to go through the coronation
ceremonies, but will be perfectly capa-
BILE of performing all functions of the
service without discomfort. His re-
turn to London was accomplished with
out any i'll effects.
When the train arrived, the king, ac-
companied by the queen and Princess
Victoria, stepped out of the car and
walked across crimson cloth on the
platform some twenty yards, to his
carriage. The queen and Princess
Victoria entered the vehicle and the
king followed, apparently without
difficulty, and four royal servants
placed rugs about his knees. The king
stood up straight, as if he had never
had an illness in his life, took off his
hat and bowed to friends ON the plat
form and to the crowds behind the
barriers He seemed to be in the
SrCdOcoU boO't huulOT anu cuiucuIiy WoS
delighted to get back.
The admiring comments of the crowd
along the kings route from Victoria
station to Buckingham palace were
mingled with expressions of amaze
ment at the appearance of his majesty
riding in an open landau and much of
the time bare-headed, he having re-
moved his silk hat. The king kept
continually bowling and smiling in
response to the cheers of the people.
The long route via Grosvenor place
and Hyde park corner. and thence
down Constitution hill, was followed.
The king passed through great sea
of waving hats and handkerchiefs as
he drove up to the palace. He was ap-
parently not fatigued by the excite
ment of his reception.

AM ERICAN PACIFIC CABLE.
Line To The Orient Considered Already
In Sight.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 11.-Scveral months
ago the Pacific Commercial Gable COM
pany sought permission from the ex-
ecutive branch of the government to
lay Pacific cable running from San
Francisco via Honolulu and Guam to
China, there to connect with the Brit
ish cable to the Philippines. The
proposition of the company was to
assume all expenses of laying and
operating the cable and to grant to the
United States government special rates
and in certain conditions of war prac-
tically absolute control of the cable.
Mr.. Roosevelt referred. the whole
subject to Attorney General Knox,
with request that he go carefully
over the proposed conditions. The
result of his investigation and his con-
illusions Mr.. Knox presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, during a long inter-
view.
President Roosevelt approved of the
amended conditions, and SO far as the
executive branch of the government is
concerned the company now may pro-
coed with the work of laying the cable.
1t is regarded as essential, however,
that the conditions be ratified by act
of congress, as some doubt exists of the
right of the executive branch of the
government alone to grant such priv
ileges as are included in the Pacific
Commercial Cable company's PROPOSE
ton.
Attorney General Knox is inclined
to the opinion that the company will
practically proceed Immediately to con-
struct its line. Considerable time will
be required for the preliminary ar
rangements before the actual laying of
the cable begins, but it is regarded
now as certain that an American-owned
and operated cable line to the Orient is
in sight.
BY those who have studied the sub
ject it is believed that a cable laid
under the conditions proposed will be,
to all intents and purposes, a govern
ment cable line, with few, if any, of
the disadvantages attendant upon gov
ernment construction and maintenance

Riddles Expense l,lll.

Topeka, Aug. 1.-THE question as
to whether the state auditor has any
right to disallow claims certified in due
form by other departments when there
is money in the fund of that depart
ment's account will likely soon be test
ed in the supreme court. Auditor Cole
recently disalowed a S157 claim of
Superintendent Biddle, of the Topeka
asylum for trip East. Auditor Cole
was informed that mandamus would
be brought against him to compel him
to audit Biddle's claim.

To Settle Water Rights.

Topeka, Kan, August 7.-Edward
Mead, chief of the irrigation bureau,
who is here to investigate certain mat
tiers connected with the new govern
ment policy in irrigation, will make a
full investigation of the controversy
between Kansas and Colorado regard
ing the water rights on the Arkansas
river. He thinks the matter can be
settled in an amicable and satisfactory
manner to both states. The irrigation
lists of Colorado ARE not willing to make
further improvements until they find
who is entitled to the water.

No strike I'M west Virginia.

Paramount, w. Va, Aug. 1l>-Thc
coal fields of the northern part of West
Virginia are a sort OF Waterloo for
John Mitchell and his conferes of the
miners union. All efforts TO organize
this region have resulted in naught.
The so-called strike is complete fail
ure. Time after time Gompers, Ratch-
ford, Debs, and now Mitchell, have
tried to bring West Virginia under
their influence through organization
of the miners, and each time they have
been compelled to retire defeated.
