Commissioner Macfarland, who for long
time has been steadily working to have all
the overhead wires in the city placed under
ground, was much gratifed to receive in
formation today that the Potomac Electric
Power Company is willing to proceed at an
early date to put underground all the wires

wires the following communication has
been received from Gen. George Fl. Harries,

head wires in the city, let me say that we
now have 73 $40 linear feet of overhead wire
in the city excluding 1850 feet which IS
strung along the right of way OF the Penn
sylyania railroad. We: estimate that the
cost of placing the entire 1880 feet under
ground would be about $4,000. some
months ago orders were issued from thls OIL

about $500. This work, was to be done as

JAPs USING SUBMARINES
Naval Officers Opinion That They Sank
Russian Ships.

|. A retired naval officer declared in New
YORK last night his belief that most of
the damage done to the Russian fleet by the
japanese at Port Arthur has been accom-
piished by submarines. His statements were
made before the arrival of cable dispatches
ascribing the same views to Russians in st.
Petersburg.
1t Is the only way that you can account
for the repeated disasters to the Russian
ships" he said. I'm the first fight when
the Retvizan was injured 1t was the theory
of naval experts that Japanese torpedo
boats got around the entrance of the har-
Dor and waited for the Russian fleet to be
coaxed out. AT that time q Russian battle
ship and cruiser were sunk by explosions
underneath. and since then three Russian
ships have been injured or destroyed in a
similar fashion.
1T is incredible that ships which un-
doubleday have charts of the mines aboard
should be blown up by them. One of the
first things Admiral Marakoff did when he
reached Port Arthur was to resurvey the
harbor and locate the mines.
THE theory that the PetropavIovsk struck
her own mines is impossible, and the theory
