Gable laying Is slow work. The Step
han Is equipped with all modern ma
chncry for rapid work, but 100 miles
of cable in twenty-four hours is n very
fine days work. There are constant de-
lays caused by breaking machinery.
kinks in the cable and a hundred other
little accidents.
Still, slow as 1t is. cable laying is IL
sure and well developed business com
pared with what 1t was when the first
ocean cable was laid not so very many
years ago. The Stephan will leave here
with the reasonable certainty OF having
an ocean cable in good working order
in one months time.
The great difficulty anticipated by the
officers who will lay this cable is the set
of the Gulf stream. This is factor
that is difficult to account for in the
calculations. In fact. it sets all calcu-
lations at naught. The Stephan may be
on the Gulf stream on "a cloudy day
and the captain may think he is on
exactly the right course only to realize,
when he sees sunshine, that he Is seventy
or eighty miles out of his course. Then
too, the Gulf stream is likely to cause
breaks in the cable. The Stcphan's Off
GERS are not worried over any section
OF the cable except that which lies over
this stream.

TO LAY OCEAN CABLE.
The steamer stephan Starts from Cone
Island.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.)

ON Monday morning the German cable
steamer Stephan arrived from Coney
ISLAND to lay the 300 miles of cable that
is to connect Brooklyn with the far away
Azores, and with the German Empire at
Borkum on the North sea. If ali goes
well, messages will be passing within a
month from Borkum to Coney ana back
again. But all may not so well. Indeed,
it would be a surprising thing If the
laying of Il deep sea cable should be
accomplished with anything like the ease
tnat might naturally he expected.
The stephan left the port with her gun
wales dangerously close to tho water. so
heavily laden is she with the cable wires
that ara to stretch across the ocean.
There is something more than 10000
pounds of cable cooled away in the
four tanks in her hold-cnouGh to weigh
The big vessel down until she looks less
like ii ship than Il long float with Il few
masts sticking up.
As every mile of cable runs out of her
stern tank, the load will be lessoned
by l9,cJo pounds. and the bow Of the
ship will go down deeper as the stern
rises The cable tank will have to be
flooded with water to preserve the equi-
iibrium, otherwise the Stephan would
stand on her head in the ocean.
Recently telegraph operator on the
stephan sent message through the
cable cooled in the hold. The message
Travelled over 1000 miles. although it
didn't leave the ships sides 1t left the
telegraph room from one instrument, and
an instant later was flashing off at an
other instrument in the same room. 1t
took just as long to send the message
from the operators right hand to mis- left
as ii will take to send the same mos

cable all the week as it has laid away

copper resistance and for a number of
technical purposes. 1t met the contract

cable is already laid. This was put

Since October the loose end of the ten

The Slave Pension Fraud.

Columbia, December 8.-It is evident
from letters received by several negroes
in this city that another effort Ia being
made by some sharper In the North to
swindle them out of some money in
the hope of securing pension. These
frauds, which are as old as the war
itself, are not only being worked here
efforts being made to catch the ne
groes on the Spanish war fake. 1t will
be remembered that number of ne
groes from Columbia enlisted, and a
much larger number were turned down
at the enlisting office for failure to pass
the examination. Lettors are being
received from SOMEONE, not only by
by those Who never even applied.
limiting that money can be obtained
from the government for them by an
agency u, Washington.
Assistant District Attorney Melton
is now on the look out for some cases
Of this character and if any evidence is
obtained there will be some prompt
arrests.

he said. "a sharper had represented
to q number of negroes that the gov

of provisions to former slaves and vet
eranS or the SPanl6n war In the South.
He also hinte6 that share of these
provisions could be obtained by those
who were neither veterans nor slaves, if
everything were left to him. All he
required was the money to pay the
freight and he got enough of that to
ship train clear across the continent.
We sent him up for eighteen months.

frauds that are cropping up, and il
