Alaska Telegraph System

In connection with what has been done to give telegraphic com munication with the entire North. brief sketch of the inception of the plans that have resulted in the installation of the Washington Alaska cable is worthy of repetition. The very beginning of the enter prise dates back to the time when it was believed that the most prac- tical wny to establish te'egraphic communication with the old world lay northwase along the Alaskan coast, across the Boring strait and over the Siberian and Russian from tier to St. Petersburg. In the per iod named several expeditions were sent North to select routes for the proposed line, F. H. Lamb, now superintendent of the Western Un- ion, with headquarters at San Francisco, was in command of the first party, the corporation of which he is now an official being what might be called the father of the scheme. This party landed at Tel Ter and worked its way North in the direction of Cape Nome. Rem- nants of the vast amount of tele- graphic paraphernalia taken along may still be found at Teller, but in spite of extensive preparations made the expedition was unsuccess- ful.
 George Kennan, young tele- graph operator from Ohio, had charge of one of the other expedi- tions, sent out about 1870. He landed his party at Wrangel and started up the Stickeen river. This party probably accomplished more than any of the others, although the trip resulted in Remnants be- ing banished from Russia for his criticisms of Russian oppressson. When he started the ,aar ruled over all the right of way from Port Simpson to St. Petersburg, some thing like HOO miles. The Rus sian government was willing to CO., operate in tine enterprise, and seEt a military escort to meet the Amer jeans on the Siberian frontier.
 kennan began to boom his pro- ject through the magazines, and there is where he fell down. for the things he said about Russia dis pleased that government and the writer was sent out of the country. Before the trans-Siberian line was started the Atlantic cable was laid and the former scheme dropped. The present completed cable to Alaska is the nearest approach that has since been made to the re- alization of the first project.
 When the great gold rush to Alas ka had set in the government found it necessary to establish more army posts in the territory and quick CT method of communication than that afforded by the mail service became imperative. By an act of congress passed May 26, 1900, a system of military telegraph lines and cables was provided for, and General A. w. Greedy, chief of the United States signal service, placed in charge of construction. Since that time the work on the line has been carried on continuously un- til now, when the laying of this section of the cable completed the Alaska system.

 , St, Petersburg. Oct. 1.-The Japs have checked KuropatkiHs S advance north of the Yentai mines The engagement was fierce but not general. The whole Russian front is being drought up, and Oyoma's force is at present divided. Kuro- patkin's superior numbers may force the Japs to fall back on the Liao Yang Notifications. Kuro- patkin will attempt to capture the triangle of Japanese Notifications. Oyama will oppose the attempt with desperate struggle.
