HISTORIC BURNSIDE HAS LAID
1000 MILES Of DEEP SEA CABLE

The United States cableship Burnside,
Captain Latin, which recently arrived
from the Philippines, is loading 800 miles
of the Alaskan cable at the Government
dock. When this cable is on board the
Burnside will leave for the north to
complete the laying of the Alaskan cable.
Last season the cable was laid from
Juneau to SitBa and 100 miles this side
of the latter place, and the loose end
made fast to a buoy The first work this
season will be to splice the cable at this
place and complete the line south to
Puget Sound. On the next trip cable
will be laid between Sitka and Valdez.
When that section is completed it will
be possible to telegraph from Tacoma to
the principal Alaskan points.
During the past winter the Burnside
completed the laying of over 1900 miles
of cable in the Philippine archipelago. The
Philippine cable system is considered the
most complete in the world. The smallest
islands are now connected with Manila
and every island can be communicated
with instantly. On tile last trip the
island of Catanduanes was connected with
Luzon and fifteen cables were repaired.
While connecting these islands the Burn
side has steamed little over 10000 miles.
The value of the cable laid is Sl,500,000
An interesting bit of history is connect

ed with the Burnside. She was formerly
the Spanish merchantmen Rita, plying be-
tween Barcelona, Liverpool, Porto Rico,
Cuba and Mexico. While bound for Cuba
with a general cargo in June, 1898, she
was captured by the United States aux
ilary cruiser Yale. The prize was trans
ferred to the war department, and after
changing the name and fitting her with
1000 hunks, she was used as an army
transport and supply ship between the
United States and Cuba.
The first cable laying expedition of the
Burnside was in 1900, when she sailed
from New York with passengers and sup
plies for the Philippines and 300 miles of
cable. After completing the trip, she was
taken to Hongkong and there converted
into regular cableship.
The crew of the Burnside consists of
ll6 Filipinos and 81 white men, including
the officers. The officers commend the
Filipinos very highly, saying that they
are tractable and industrious.
On the last cable laying expedition Cap
tain Charles D. F. Chandler had charge of
the work. He accompanies the ship to
Alaska as quartermaster. Colonel James
Allen and Major f. Russell will have SUI
pervision of the completion of the Alaskan
cable.
On this trip the health of the crew will
be looked after by DR.. IL. S. Coffin.

Ben Cozza, a young bartender of this
oity. who was arrested by Detective Fitz-
gerald last night, was arraigned before
Judge Griffin this afternoon on the charge
of criminal assault on a girl under the
age Of consent.
The complaint charging him with this
crime. which in the eyes of the law ranks
next to that of murder, was sworn to by
Miss Bessie Cook, a 4year-od school
girl, for whom the police have been search
ing for several days.
The Cook girl, neatly dressed in a tailor
made gown, her pretty, childish face
flushed with excitement, sat in Judge Grif-
fms office this morning and for an hour
related the story of her shame. She admit
ted that she had not been to her parents
home for two weeks, and that during
that time she had associated with two
different men. Her sister, l6 years old,
who left home at the same time, Miss
Bessie declared, she had not seen for two
weeks.
Statement by Bessie Cook
II never stayed away from home all
night in my life until four weeks ago.

MANY BOOKS LOST

The annual report Of the city librarian
states that the library now contains %, ,76l
volumes Of which 1866 are 10 the circu-
iation department and 6O3 in the refer
ence room. During the last nine years 1854
volumes have disappeared As there was
no data showing the number OF volumes
in the library year ago, il is impossible
to tell how many have disappeared during
the last year.
The patronage OF the library this month,
while less than the preceding month, is
greater than the corresponding month Of
last year.
The books most in demand now are:
",rhe Crossing" by Winston Churchill;
Rulers Of Kings" by Gertrude Atherton;
"Sir Mortimer" by Mary Johnston, and
Sanctuary" by Edith Wharton.

400 BLOODED
HORSES READY

SEATTLE, June 10.-The big race meet
ing will open at The Meadows tomorrow
afternoon at l:30 O'Clock, with a grand
parade of trace horses. 1t is expected
that there will be over 400 of the best
animals on the coast in line.
la order to increase interest and swell
the number. the management has offered
a series of prizes, for which competition
will be free. There will be prizes of So,
So and So for the best looking stations,
any age, and the same prizes will be
aiven for the best looking mares and the
best looking geldings OF any age There
will also be three BOBBY prizes of ~ each,
to be awarded at the discretion of the
judges.
Everything points to a large card for the
opening day. OF the 800 horses now sta,
bed at the track nearly all are ready to
race There are fewer crippes and horses
out of condition this year than ever be-
fore.
There will be jumping race Tuesday
over five hurdles, at a mile and a furlong
This win be ladies day, upon which occa-
sion no admission is charged to the fair
sex. There are more jumpers here this
season than before. so that a good field
is assured. Jumping races have always
been very popular with the public, and il
is the intention of the management tc
give them as many as possible during the
season.
This season the Nokes gate will be used
TO start the horses. Mr. Nokes himself
came out from Cincinnati few days ago
bringing with him seven machines. These
have all been installed This machine was
used last year at Ascot park, Los Angeles
and was a great success. 1t is faster thar
the Maxwell gate and does not make sc
much noise in operating, consequently the
horses are not frightened by it.
