MAJOR BLUNT SUSTAINED.
End OF the Machinists' Trouble at the
Rock Island Arsenal.

ROCK ISLAND. H.. March ia copy OF
an official order, indorsed by Secretary Root,
which ends for the present the agitation by
Grand Master O'Connen, OF the Machinists
Union, and Agent Berry, of the Tri-clty
Labor Congress, Tor the removal of Maj ::
Z. Blunt from the command Of Rock Island
arsenal, has been received here The order
declares that the charges made against
Major Blunt are not sustained, and says he
has been an efficient and judicious officer.
The order also says there has never been
any interference with employees of the ar
senal joining labor organizations or any
discrimination therefor. In conclusion the
order says:
I'm the contemplated increase of the
force at the arsenal the old employees OF
good records who were dropped when the
force was reduced should. so far as IL is
consistent with the civil-service rules, be
preferred over applicants never before en-
ployed, and in considering the records OF
former employees participation in the strike
which took place in the spring of 1899
should not be counted against them, as ii
was not counted against them at the time
of reinstatement after the strike was de-
clared off,.
The strike referred to in the order is one
OF the most noted in the history of labor
troubles. has figured in political campaigns
and has been before Congress and the War
Department several times during the three
years it has lasted

FOUND in THE NECHES
ANOTHER FLoATER TAKEN FROM
THE RIVER AT BEAUMONT, TEX.
Body of W r. Mcnamara, Who Is Sup
posed to Have Been a Victim of
the Matte Bennett Gang.

BEAUMONT, March 15.-Another floater
was found in the Neches river this morn
ing, making six since the first of the year.
The body has been identified as that Of
V. r. Mcnamara. a painter and paper
hanger, who came from Shreveport. There
is evidence of foul play.
Coroner Brown says the evidence is plain
that he was murdered. The officers declare
their conviction that he is the sixth victim
OF the Matte Bennett gang of robbers
and murderers. Beaumont citizens are ex-
pressing angry threats. The fact that
other arrest, that Of Joe Hood. one of the
white men implicated by Matte" Ben
nett's confession, was made last night and
the prisoner lodged in jail to-day is. how
ever, having q quieting effect. as confidence
ir the officers ability to round up the whole
gang is felt.
The body of Mcnamara had evidently
been in the water from fifteen days TO three
weeks. A thousand people saw it taken from
the water. There is talk of exploding dyna-
mite in the Neches river TO bring to the
surface any other bodies.
The arrest of Hood, which was effected at
Silsbee last night. is regarded by Sheriff
Landry as an important one. Matte"
Rennett, the self-confessed leader, charged
him, in her confession, with being one of
the gang. he admits knowing the woman.
but declares his innocence of any connec-
tiOn with either the murders or rObberies

er institutions that the writer's might sub
seQuently apply to for admission. This cir
cular. ii is pointed out, scarcely seems cal
cuIated to further that benevolent relation
ship between teacher and scholar which the
minister of public instruction so earnestly
asserted TO be of the main objects of
his sOlicitude.
Students report that one Berghtmann.
a senior in the Teehnological Institute,
against whom proof of espionage was
brought, confessed to the university au-
thorities that he was in the service of the
political police, with a salary of 60 roubles
a month. He was among those present
in the Peoples Theater when the riot oc-
CURED there, but was not arrested He
has been expelled from the school.
At the command of the curator of this
educational district the university authori-
ties are holding court over the four hun
dred or more students who are suspected
of having voted for the strike Written
questions were sent TO these students, with
demand for a registered reply within
forty-eight hours. Students who failed to
answer were to be judged on the reports
of spies. The questions are:
First-"Were you present at the meet
ing?"
second-"In what sense did you partici-
pate?"
Third-"what else have you to say?"
The students secret committee recon-
mended its followers 10 answer only the
first question. Another question was sent
out yesterday. IL was: DO you wish TO
answer NO" will subject themselves 10

minister OF education, only fifteen Of the
students will be sent 20 Siberia. while the
others will be banished To various towns
and villages in Russia.

extent OF administering business affairs,

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

The question of granting government aid to a
private company in the work of laying cable
across the Pacific Ocean is still under consider
alton at Washington. Present indications are
said to be favorable to the applicants, though
under conditions which are regarded in some
quarters as rather stringent" We are not sure
but that they should be pretty stringent. The
cable is going to be of great Importance to the
government, and the governments rights and
requirements should be safeguarded in the
strongest possible manner. 1t may be well to
have the work done by a private concern in
stead of by the government itself. But in that
case the government should insist upon having
as much political control over the cable, and as
free use of it at all times for its own purposes
as though 1t had constructed it itself.
The one disqueting feature Of the case is the
evident monopoly which the government is
asked to foster and to reinforce. AS we have
hitherto explained, there is an alien concern
which claims under a Spanish grant, alb
solute monopoly of cable service to the Philip
pines for a long term of years to come. Even
the United States Government itself could not
lay cable to Manila without getting permits
sion from or paying tribute to this non-Ameri-
can concern. That does not seem a desirable
state of affairs. Now it is evident that the
company which is planning TO run a cable to
the Philippines is doing as n partner of or in
some sort of alliance with that alien monopoly.
SO in giving this company any aid or encour-
agement the United States Government would
be countenancing and confirming a monopoly
which exists In defiance of and in violation of
our expressed principles. The United States
has gone on formal record as establishing an
open door in the Philippines. That door ought
TO be open for telegraphic communication as
well as for commerce. IF all countries and all
merchants are to be free to trade on equal
terms in Philippine ports, all cable companies
should be free, on equal terms, to establish
communication with those islands.
To what extent this government is bound by
the monopolistic concession which was granted
by the Spanish Government just before Dewey
went to Manila, and which is obviously against
public interests and against good morals is a
question for the law officers of the government,
or for the judiciary to decide. If we are irrev-
ocaby bound by it, the desrability of abrogat-
ing it by payment of the stipulated forfeit may
we'll be considered. Certainly there is every
reason for deiberat1on before taking any action
which would amount to a strengthening and re-
affirmation of that eminently undesirable con-
resSiOn.

FERRY FARES.

For five cents passengers are carried the
elevated or surface lines from one end of Man.
haitian Island to the other, from Battery Park
TO the Harlem River, and even to Fordham. Is
it right and proper then, to charge three cents
for the short trip over the Thirty -fourth-st.
ferry? In crossing the North River the way
farer who buys his ticket consoles himself with
the thought that for his outlay he is passing
from the territory Of one sovereign State of the
Union to that of another sovereign State. When
he is carried over the narrow space of water
between the island of Manhattan at East
Thirty-fourth-st. and the Hunters Point pier, in
Long Island City, he is still within the jurisdc-
ton of the Empire State, and he pays three
cents for a short voyage. He cannot fail to
feel that he Is mulcted inordinately.
1t would be more equitable for the Manhattan
Elevated to exact 10 cents for the long journey
from the Bowling Green to Fordham than it is
for the Thirty-fourth-st ferry to charge three
cents for the brief trip across the East River in
cheap, old fashioned boats. Bills have been in
troduced at Albany at various times for the
lowering of the Thirty-fourth-st ferry schedule
but they have always been defeated possibly
by halcyon and vociferous influences. A charge
of six cents between James Slip and Hun
ters Point does not seem so excessive as that
from shore to shore at Thirty -fourth-st, be-
cause the voyage is much longer A lower fare
for the little journey over the East River in
the vicinity of Blackwells Island may fairly
be demanded
Some years ago, when ID. D. Withers one of
Americas foremost turfmen. was the president
of the Thrty-fourth-st. ferry line and a large
owner of the stock of the company, he be-
came engaged in a lively controversy with his
friend August Belmont as 10 the comparative
merits of certain thoroughbred colts which they
owned. Both Mr.. Withers and Mr.. Belmont
were positive men, and had the courage of their
convictions. Each was confident that his own
racehorse was faster than the best runner in his
friends stable. Thedebate waxed warm. Talk of
wagers and matches grew apace The outcome OF
