MORE CABLE FOR
THE ALASKA LINE

A Washington dispatch says that bids
for about 800 miles OF Geographic cable
have been called for by General Greedy,
chief signal officer Of the army. The cable
will be used to supply the last link in the
Alaska military telegraph system between
Stka and Valdez. The bids will be opened
at the war department on the 10Th Of this
month
The advertisement was issued on the as
sumption that the required appropriation
of 1921 $50 will be made in the pending
army bill. but as this item has been agreed
to by the conference committee of the two
houses. there is no doubt that the funds
will become available at an early date, The
laying of the Sitka Seattle cable will be
completed in the coming summer, and Gen
eral Greedy hopes that the stretch of 500
miles between Sitka and Valdez Fort lis
cum can be closed up before the storms
come next fall.
Part Of the cable for this line is now
stored in the Government warehouse here.

the Russian authorities as a peculiarly dis.
agreeable humiliation in the eyes of repre-
sentatives of all the nations.
Moreover, the news will spread in China

Whatever may have been the condition
of the large Russian men-of-war at Port
Arthur early last month it must be borne
in mind that. apart from damage by shell
fire and torpedo, they must be getting in a
worse state day by day, because steel ships
need to be continually locked, and Port
Arthur has only one dock and that toe
small for big vessels.
Consequently, whatever battleships OF

Hearst representatives sent north from
San Francisco are making an organized

Chamberlain tor vice-president.
Though this state IS being flooded with
Hearst literature and the San Francisco
managers Of Hearst's campaign are making
q systematic fight in the state, there has
been little in the way Of actual results
adduced. Prominent Democratic politicians
do not concede the possibility Of a Hearst

CORBY CASTLE.

LONDON. April l3-The ancient seat
OF the Howard family, Corby castle, in
Northumberland, has been revisited by the
family ghost. The apparition is that of a
radiant boy which has long been hushed
into silence
A recent visitor, however claims to have
been attended by the specter There is
some glory in the visitation. so the
stranger who was permitted to behold
the vision was not long in relating his ex-
perlence. Now he is wondering if the
prophecy involved in seeing the ghost
will work out in his case.
The legend runs that whoever beholds
the radiant boy" will rise to the height
Of power and fall in the climax OF his
glory.
The vision was last vouchsafed to Cap
tain Stewart, who afterwards became Lord
Castlereagh and proved in his career the
supernatural prophecy of the appariton.

Get SHOT IF THEY WANT TO,
But THEY MUST NOT NEEDLE

ST. PETERSBURG, April l3.-The
Grand Dukes Cyril and Boris Vladimiro-
witch, grandsons of the emperor Alexander
ii and first cousins of the present car. are
the only members of the Russian imperial
family serving in the war
When appointed commander-in-chief,
General Kuropatkin made the stipulation
that he should be allowed TO select his
staff among competent soldiers and not
have inexperienced youths forced upon him
simply because they happened to be roy
alties or mobiles. The ear granted the re-
quest, but pointed out that it was advisa-
BILE that his immediate family be repre-
scented in a war which put Russia national
honor at stake.
Kuropatlln therefore consented that
Cyril and Boris should play their part.
granting them full permission to expose
themselves under fire as much as they
wished, but giving them only the general
title of aides-de-eamp with no RESPONSE
bilities attached.
Cyril is in his 2Sth year and Boris in
his 9th Both are graduates of military
academies and both hold strings of honor

little or nothing, Apart from that there
is no resemblance between them

makes fine oil dressing. The ingredients
should be thoroughly mixed, and, when
stil warm. the line should be soaked in it,
Let the line become well saturated; then,
with a piece of leather in one hand, draw
the line through it, squeezing hard to get
out all the dressing possible. Then stretch
the line to dry.
This will require a week, perhaps, and
when it is thoroughly dried the line
should again be placed in the dressing
which should be warmed and the squeez-
ing process renewed. Allow it to dry
again.
When the line is dry put the third coat
OF warm dressing on with rag and wipe
the line dry Immediately. When this has
dried. rub the line well with paratfn, pol
ishing it with wooden cloth, The various
operations will require at least four weeks
for the line must be allowed time to dry
thoroughly after each application.

cellent reason that practically nothing is
known of him.
He is said to be of studious nature and
pleasant in disposition, and has never done
anything to publicly prove Or disprove this
reputation.
Boris, on the contrary, is VIGOROUSLY
wild. and has been kept out of Russia
that his weakness for midnight orgies
might not cause too great scandal.
He is an enthusiastic Anglomar nc
which is another cause of unpopularity.
Three years ago he took it into his head
to have an English country house at Tsar-
skee-Selo, and ordered a London firm to
build it regardless of cost, provided every
detail, even down to the knives and forhs,

SO he himself grew tired of it and put
an Englishman in charge, who is to keep

imperial highness is ever taken with the
whim to return
Cyril is already at Port Arthur on a
battleship and Boris is now following in

He said that, in view Of the fact that

THE MARKETS

The potato market received a substan.
tial setback this morning. During the past
few days the Yakima potatoes have been
quoted at $50 per ton and the home grown

est that have been quoted by local com
mission men on last season. product.
This morning the market opened lower.
Yakimas at $2S and the home grown a,
$50 and a. This reduction is the result of
the dry weather. The farmers are now
able to haul the contents of their pits to

RUSSIA'S INACTIVITY IS
GIVING JAPAN STRENGTH

One more Russian torpedo craft has come
to grief While the destroyer Slzori was
entering Port Arthur harbor on Wednes-
day it struck against mine, and in an
instant it was blown up. Probably the
disaster was due to one Of the electro-me-
chanical mines which the japanese laid
during the raid of the 10th inst.
If this is the fact it will show that the
Russians do not know where these inter
ferences with the navigation of the harbor
have been placed, and the position of the
feet within is rendered all the more pre-
calious.
At present the incident is not reported
officially from either side, and it is i'm
possible on the brief telegram from Chefoo
to form a definite conclusion as to the
cause-whether earelessness in running
against one of the mines laid by the Rus
slams or misfortune in striking one of
those dropped by the enemy.
In either case the destruction of life is
deplorable, and we cannot ignore the moral
influence of the disaster.
Even Russian officers and men have
nerves. and this mshap. the sinking of the
Steregustchy the other day, with practical
ly all hands, the destruction of the mining
transport Yenisei with nearly 100 men,
the loss Of the cruiser Variag and the gun
boat Koreitz at Chemulpo, and the GRIP
phng of SO many ships by gun and tor
pedo, added to the repeated lombard
ments, must produce a cumulative effect
which it will be difficult even for an officer
as high-spirited as Admiral Makaroff to
dispel
At last the BIaudiur. that troublesome
Russian gunboat at Shanghai, has been dis
armed.
She was at best poor little craft,
, and old and comparatively worthless FOR
warfare into the bargain, but she might
have iutorfered with Japanese trading yes
sells which are now on the seas as freely
as though no war were in progress.
Her continued presence at Shanghai was
an insult to China, besides being contrary
to those rules which Russia expects all
the powers to observe towards her oppon-
ent, Japan.

due to the fact that disarmament at cos
