PROJECTED PACIFIC CABLE
ADVANTAGES OF GOVERNMENT OWN
ERsHIP PRESENTED.
Gen. Greedy and Admiral Bradford
Give Their Views From q Mill
tary Point of View.

The advantages of government control OF
the projected Pacific cable were presented
today before the commerce committee of
the House. Admiral Bradford, who has
had charge Of the cable soundings; Gen.
Gree1y, head of the signal service, who has
devoted much attention to this subject;
Capt. Russell. who has done much of the
cable work in the Philippines, and Thomas
F. Clark, vice president of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, were among
those present.
Mr.. Clark said the plan presented by the
Commercial Cable Company contemplated
exclusive arrangements with the lines In
the far east, the effect of which would re-
strict the business to this one line, prevent
ing competition and such advantages to the
government and public as would accrue
from competition. Mr.. Clark emphasized
the prospective commercial development
of the orient and American trade in that
quarter and pointed out the disadvantage
troll, which would, he said, tie up the bus
mess for an indefinite period, and place
the far eastern links of the cable system
entirely under foreign control.
Gen. Greely stated that about 10 600 miles
Of cable and telegraph were now under
government charge. He was strongly fav-
orable to government control of the Pacific
project and showed the extent to which
governments were eXtenQlnS Inelr CODlrOl
of cables. One of the recent extensions
was by Germany on the China coast, while
France and other countries were making
similar cable extensions. Gen. Greely said
an American cable to the Philippines would
do much good in AmericaniZing the islands.
He cited instances Of the current news ap-
pearing in the Philippines coming by for
efgn cables. presenting the affairs of Ger
many and other countries but not men,
tioning the most important developments
In the United States
Gen. Greedy stated that during the Span
ish-American war it became necessary for
him to secure control of the Haitien cable
for thirty days. at $1,000 day. In times
of war, he said, 1t was impossible to OBJ
serve due secrecy when cable lines We're
under foreign control. He had discussed
the subject with President Mckinley, who
was favorable to an, american cable, TN
der American control, in peace and war"
Admiral Bradford was favorable to hav-
Ing the cable laid, operated and controlled
by the government, not for commercial
considerations, but as a naval and military
necessity. He said the British navy had
great advantages over other navies by rea-
son Of being linked by cable with all insu-
lar possessions. If there was war with
Great Britain tomorrow, Admiral Bradford
said, it would be impossible for us to COM
municate by cable with the Philippines.

STEVENS HAS THE RECORD.

Well Known Pioneer Cast His Sixty-first
Vote in Kenosha County Tuesday.
A cheer went up at the Fourth ward
voting place Tuesday afternoon when.
J. Levant Stevens walked into the
polling place and cast his sixty-frst
vote in Kenosha county. For some
time there had been records in the
county of 6fty-nine and sixty votes,
but Mr.. Stevens is now the holder of
all the city records for voting.
Mr.. Stevens came to Kenosha in
1887 and since that time he has never
missed single election. What is
more to the point he has always found
time to walk to the polls and cast his
ballot as every American citizen
should. Mr.. Stevens has always been
Republican since the organization of
the party and he has cast nearly forty
FIVE Republican votes in the county.
Mr.. Stevens is still hale and hearty
and looks as if he would be able to cast
many more votes and establish a rec
ord that will never be excelled in the
history of Kenosha as a city.

South Haven Steamship Line May Run
a Steamer Between Kenosha and
Chicago in a Few Weeks.
SEEK THE ClTY'S ENCOURAGEMENT
G. p. Cory, General Traffic Manager Comes
to KenOsha to Look Into Plans for the
Proposed Line of Boats,

G. P. Cory, General Traffic agent for
the South Haven line Of steamers, and
George E. Bond, travelling freight
agent for the Canada Atlantic railway
company, were in Kenosha Tuesday
looking into the prospects for the es-
Enlistment of line of steamers be-
tween this city and Chicago.
Siuce the departure of the City Of
Grand Rapids number of companies
have been looking toward Nenosha as
stopping place and the South Haven
line seems to have definitely decided to
Ike this city one of it's ports if the
people of the city will give the man
ayers any encouragement.
The managers of the two companies
have carefully looked he~ground over
and have decided that a steamer run
on proper basis would prove a pay
ing investment in Kenosha. Many of
the merchants have already promised
to give support to the line if it is run
departure of the Grand Rapids for
other waters the business of the North
Western road has been greatly in
creased but quite little of this bust
ness would be sent by lake if proper
service was granted to the merchants.
For some months the Barry com
pany made good money out of the Ke-
nosha business, but with the sale of
the boat to new company the bust
ness was largely lost on account of in
sufficient service.
Mr.. Cory states that his company
has vessel much larger than the City
of Grand Rapids, which would be
placed on the run, and which would be
ready to give the merchants Of Keno
sha the best possible service. He
states that his company would guaran.
tee to give Kenosha lake transporta-
ton every day in the year regardless
of the weather conditions.
In coming to Kenosha the company
will demand dock facilities and the
agents have asked the Mayor to bring
this matter before the City Council,
and if possible secure some concessions
in the way Of dock privileges. The
city has no docks to lease or to give
away, but it is possible that some of
the business men of the city would as
sist the company in their effort to Sc
cure docks for temporary use. If the
lines proves success the South Haven
company would purchase its own docks
within year.
The South Haven line is one of the
best known lines on the lakes and its
service has always been of the best
both in the freight and passenger
business.
It is probable that the company
would arrange to stop the boats at
Waukegan and in this manner the
business would be largely Increased.
