The dotted line in the above map
shows the route taken by the cable
steamer Silvertown in her recent cable
laying and history making voyage. over
10000 odd nautical miles from the
British Isles to Hawaii.
There is stroy going the rounds that
when told to plan a cable ship the Sill
vertown company's engineer drew three
circles on, sheet of paper, giving their
dimensions, and then handed it to the
shipbuflders and told them to construct
a modern vessel around the tanks. At
any rate the appearance of the vessel
today would indicate that this story
has at least a seInblance of truth in
it. Constructed to carry an immense
amount of cable in her three tanks, to
stand heavy weather, and to go at q
fast rate of speed without consuming
much coal, the vessel has certainly been
q success.

The cable craft left Portland on the
English coast, on September 23rd, 1902
She steamed 1920 miles to Teneriffe and
then another 900 miles to st. Vincent
Cape de Verde Islands, wehe she made
a short stay to secure coal and fresh
water. Then she made her longest run
between coaling ports, distance of
$50 miles from Teneriffe to Coronel
Chilli and arriving there covered the
distance to San Francisco quickly. Her
voyage from San Francisco to this port
is fully depicted elsewhere.
When leaving the English coast the

weighing 1877 tons, and LOO tons of the

the voyage, making in all a total cargo
of 6.507 tons. The value of the vessel,
her cargo, and the loss which would
have resulted from disaster, made the

vessel a tremendous commercial risk
during her long voyage around angry
Cape Horn and her trip excited great
interests among commercial men.
The crew of the ship and the cable
officials made about a hundred and fifty
souls on board. throughout the voyage,
constant tests of the cable were made.
A man sitting in the testing room of
the vessel could send a message to
himself through over two thousand
miles of cable lying in the same veseFs
hold.
The Silvertown arrived at San Fran
cisco on December 4th, took on coal and
supplies, laid the shore end of the cable
at that point and left for Honolulu at
two o'clock on the morning of the fif-
teenth. She arrived off the Islands on
Christmas Day and at about two-thirty

CABLE PROGRESS
IN THE PACIFIC

The accompanying map shows pro-
gress of cable development in the Pacific
ocean. The dotted line from Victoria
to Queensland, Australia and to New
Zealand, via Tanning Island, the Fiji
Group, and Norfolk Island shows the
new British Pacific cable. The heavy
straight line from San Francisco to
Honolulu shows the new Commercial
Pacific Gable and the heavy dotted line
from Hawaii to Hongkong. via Wake
Island, Guam, and Manila shows the
route over which the American cable
viii be extended during this year.
The lines labeled ID" are the cables of
the Central ard South American TeIe-
graph Company which owns fifteen
cables OF a total length of 1900 nautical
miles. The first work on these lines
was done in 1876.
From Brisbane, Queensland, there is
a cable line to the French colony of
New Caledonia. This is 500 miles in
length and has been in operation for
ten years.
The small dotted lines connecting
Vlaaivostok, Japan, the main Chinese
ports, Singapore, Borneo, Java, and the
Northern portion of Australia were laid
in 1871 and are a portion of the Eastern
Extension, Australia, and China Tele-
graph Company's extensive Eastern
system of cables.
From Port Darwin in the northern
part of Australia an overland telegraph
fine connects with Adelaide in the south
and from this point telegraph lines
connect with Sydney. Brisbane, and
Melbourne, a cable line being laid from
the latter point to Tasmania, and from
sydney there is a cable to Wellington,
Kew Zealand. Early last year a cable
line connecting Adelaide, Australia
with Perth. Western Australia, was
constructed and this line extends to

with jute yarns, which are laid spirally
round it, forming an elastic soft bed
ding for the sheathing wires. These lat
ter, as well as the outer serving and
compound, are put on in one machine.
The served core passes through the hol-
low shaft of a circular skeleton frame
work of iron, on which are mounted
bobbins filled with steel wire or jute
yarn, as the case may be. This frame
work can be rotated, and the cable be-
at the same time drawn along, the
'Jtres O. .rarns are wound spirally round
the core. The bituminous compound is
applied by the cable being passed under
a spout from which the melted COM
pound runs. The finished cable is then
coiled in large circular iron tanks, in
which it is kept under water.

Bridgeport, Conn, March 5.-Cecil Sleeve. 16 years of age. was shot last night on Howard Avenue by Lillie Lavi- chia, r years of age, employed as street lamplighter. The bullet. fired from 3S- calibre revolver. passed Into Sleeves abdomen two and a half inches to the left of the meridian line and four and a ouarter inches above the umbilicia. The victim was taken to the hospital and was alive at 1:5O o'clock this morning, but the doctors hold out no hope of his re- coyery. Lavichia was arrested imme- diately after the shooting. He is locked up in a steel cage at the station house.
 Sleeves friends claim that the lamp lighter was in the habit of frightening little girls along Howard Avenue by thrusting his blazing torch at them, and several had narrowly escaped being burn ed, Steeve's sister among the rest. His brother had warned Lavichia several times to stop soaring the girlh, but he persisted. Yesterday evening the boys had A quarrel and the Italian drew huge revolver, snapped 1t at Sleeve twice with out exploding the cartridges.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Now that the colored shirt has estab- lished itself permanently in the warm weather wardrobe of the Well-dressed man, the materials of which 1t is made, their designs and colorings are to him a matter of very great interest. Shifting materials for the coming season are more than usually attractive and come in even a greater variety of colors and designs than heretofore. Among the assortment of madras can be found just about every kind and combination of stripe, single or in groups, and varying from almost a
 hair line to wider stripes, while the col

PRIEST ON "INDULGENCEs."
Father Brannan Explains This Tenet
 of His Church.

On the subject of "Indulgences'' Father
 Brannan last night delivered one of the
 best addresses of the series he Is giving at the county court house this week. His lecture was a clear and forceful ex
 position of this tenet of the Catholic
 Church, one about which he claimed there
 was much misapprehension in the popu- lar mind.
 Indulgences, as an institution of the
 Roman Church, Father Grammar declar-
 ed, are not, as has been represented, a
 permi ssion to commit sin, license for
 consideration to Indulge in evil; but a
 remission in whole or in part, of the temporal punishme due to sin after the
 sin has been forgiven and the eternal pun ishment taken away. The authority to
 remit punishment, he contended, inhered in any power that had authority to assess punishment, and he likened the power of | the Governor of a State in exercising the | pardoning function to that of the remis- | sion of sins by the church. Governor, at the solicitation of friends of con- victed man, may reduce a sentence or may issue a full pardon. but this act | of his should not be construed as permit | to continue in a criminal career. In opening his remarks Father Bran nan alluded to the fact that he had been
 for several days expounding the doctrines | of the Catholic Church to audiences largely Protestant, yet no objection had | ben raised to any of the arguments he | had advanced. He extended further | invitation to dissenters to voice any pro-
 test they might wish to make.
 | Father Grammar will speak again this l evening at the court house.

 They all do 1t. One exquisite grande dame with silvery hair and the real thing in soft Southern voices, said she would be lost without her lottery ticket.
