Tanning Island, the Pacific Cable

San FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S-James Pink
erton, who was principal electrician on
the cableship Anglia. which laid the
British cable from Vancouver to Fan
ming island, and who has lately been d.
recting the work of establishing the
cable station at the latter point, has
arrived here. In an interview he said:
"Suva. Fiji. will be the repair station
of the British cable and the repair ship
Iris, vessel built especially for the pur-
pose, will be stationed there.
Tanning island is not such a dreary
place The climate is good. there is
abundant water of fine quality, steam
ers sail now once in three weeks, bring
ing fresh meat and provisions. A staff
of fifteen will be maintained there as
the cable has to be kept going night and
day. At present they are living in tents,
but a San Francisco firm of contractors
has force of about forty men there
now building first class house for the
men.
In course of time, no doubt. soil will
be imported sufficient to provide lawns
and gardens. for there is no soil there
now, nothing but guanO and coral and
little vegetation grows except cocOanut
trees. The station will be in charge of

NO SHOT YET.
Bad Luck of the President Shows No
Abatement.

Smedes, Miss. Nov 1s-The bears in
the swamp country around the presi
dents camp on the Little Sunfiower
seem to have effected a successful COM
bination to prevent the president from
having a single shot at them on the ex-
petition. The only one the dogs started
Monday fed in a northeasterly direction
at the first cry of alarm, and did not
stop running until he reached the cane
brakes about nine miles from camp
There he was overtaken by Mr. Nc
Dougall, one of the managers of the
Smede plantation, who killed him at 70
PAGES. The party who had started in the
rain with Holt Collier did not hear the
dogs after they first struck the trail
The president takes his i'll luck good
naturally. He says it is simply the for
tune of the chase. and that he will have
a last try today.
The bear killed Monday weighed 225
pounds. Judge Dickinson is the only
other member of the party except Mr.
McDOueaI who has fired a shot. The
judge missed a swamp deer at 100 yards.

gave the welcome In answer. Rev.
Father Keeley, a missionary priest of
Wichita, responded to the toast, The
Knights of Columbus" He placed par
the order. asserting that the Stars and
Stripes never would have more staunch
defenders than would be found in the
knights of Columbus.
THE Relations of the United States
Government to the Catholic Church in
the Philippine Islands" was discussed
by Rev. Father Ponpendy of Hutchin-
son. In the beginning of the war"
said Rev. Mr.. Pompendy, the hearts of
Catholic men were Sorely tried. A good
many doubted the motive of it. How
ever, things transpired the intention
of the government was found to be
good. We now know that Major Nc
Kinley did everything he could to avert
the war; but then as in the case of all
young nations there are times in the
lives when it becomes an absolute ne
sessity. A nation becomes iBlpelled to
it because it is the easiest way out of
trouble, and it often raises the country
to the crest of the wave of prosperity.
we have heard men and women clamor-
ing against the government; but why
should we forget ourselves so far as to
think the government feminist us? We
cannot but believe that this country is
true to us It is time that we should
think just as the leaders of this country
think and If we take hold and do our
should not accuse those above us in
government of wrong and unjust mo.
tives, but let US be patriots and assist
those who are striving for the anchor
alton of the country"
One OF the most thoroughly enjoyed
toasts of the evening was that given By
Rev. Father Tiehan, rector of the Cath
Ole cathedral at Wichita, on the subject:
The Catholic Citizen in Peace and War"
Rev Mr. Tiehan is not only irresistible in
his humor, but likewise is one of the most
eloquent priests that ever has appeared in
this city. THE Catholic citizen can stand
in only one place: that of the highest"
said he. He has the brains and the
hardihood to become the most successful.
and therefore he bends every energy to
do as much for mankind as he can do.
The Catholic citizen has been taught hon.
esty as a matter of necessity. And so he
is in war in peace, the ideal citizen.
War is hell and he realizes it best who
has been in war 1t seems a disgra ceful
thing for enlightened civilization to
yield to a means that has been resorted
to in the days that have gone by. Why
should we cling to that way of settling
things? We ought to have some way of
preventing wars; but so long as there is
no way so long will the Catholic citizen
with tears in his eyes step forward will
ing to shoulder the musket and take his
place in the ranks. and there is not a
drop of his blood that he would not shed

BALTIMORE GETS SCARS.
More Next Week-That's What the
Barons Say.

Baltimore, Nov 1S.-Five cars loaded
with anthracite from the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal and Iron company's
mines in Pennsylvania reached Balti-
more this morning. The coal was con-
signed to dealers who placed their or
ders many weeks ago and was sold be-
fore it arrived. This, it is claimed. will
be the case for many weeks to come
Mr.. T. w. Claggett, local representa-
tive of the Reading, denied again this
morning that his company was dis
eliminating against Baltimore. He pro-
fessed to know nothing of 81 cars OF
coal consigned to Washington dealers
which were reported to be sidetracked
at Locust Point. He said that if the re-
port were true, it is the first coal ship
ped to the capital since the strike.
This is Just about half the number
of cars on their way to Baltimore"
said he. land by this time next week
there will probably be three times as
many more"
Mr.. Claggett was reminded that a
supply had been reported to be on the
way ever since the strike. but as yet
only a few cars had arrived.
There positively will be a fairly good
supply here by the first of next week, "
answered he. Il expect more cars in
today. Some of the cars bound here
may have been observation-disclosures is Ii
able to happen at any time.
Our company has been making an
effort to supply the large cities first, for
here is where the coal is most needed.
Now Just as soon as Baltimore has been
supplied, we will begin to open up an
other territOry-prObab bly, along the
western Maryland road"
Several dealers were consulted today,
and all agree that coal is just as scarce
as it was a month ago. reporter for
The News went to a coal dealer on
Pennsylvania avenue today and asked
if he could get a ton of coal
"A what?" asked the man in astonish-
merit.
"A ton of coal-pea COAL" replied the
reporter.
why. sir. we haven't more than a ton
in the whole place. answered he. Il
might let you have bushel or two.
I'm expecting a car next week. It'll be
stove coal, and I'm going to sell it at 50
ton. Tt couldn't be sold any less, for
| it's costing me considerably more than
the retail prices quoted by the Reading"
This state of affairs seems to be pre-
dominant all over the city, though most
dealers are willing to sell coal in quar-
ter ton lots.
At the office of the Hazafd Whal
company it was stated that all the
Welsh coal brought here last week had
been sold with the exception of about
| 200 tons of pea coal. This, it was stated,
was being disposed of az SO a ton.
A carload of anthracite cOai, TIE first
since the strike. was received at Catons-
VILE yesterday. 1t contained 26 tons and
was disposed of in half ton lots.

PUT TO DEATH.
John Truck Killed in Electric Chair
for Murder

Auburn, N. Y, Nov. 1S.-John Truck
was put to death in the electric chair in
the state prison here today for the muir
der of Frank w. Miller at Virgil Cort-
landt county, March IA. 1899 Truck met
his fate calmly and five minutes after
the witnesses had assembled in the death
cahmber he was pronounced dead.
The motive for the murder of Miller
was robbery. Truck first crushed in the
skull of his victim and then set fire to
the house thinking thus to destroy the
evidence of his crime. The body of
Miller was recovered, however, and the
crime was traced to Truck who had a
criminal record He was also suspected
of other crimes in Cortlandt county, in
Guiding one if not two more murders.
