CABLE FROM ICELAND.
Northern Province to Be Put in Touch
With the World

Iceland is about to be put in close touch
with the rest of the world through the lay
ing of cable from Iceland to Farce Islands
and thence to the Shetland Islands north of
Scotland. The cable, which is to be COM
pleted not later than October, 1906 will be
landed on the east coast of Iceland, and
will connect overland with Reykjavik, the
only city of Importance. The promoters OF
the enterprise maintain that as Iceland Is
a storm center the greatest immediate ad-
vantage to result from the construction of
the cable will be to shipping interests on
ClogicaI data from Iceland and the Faroes
will be received and reported daily
United States Consul Frazier at Copen-
hagen, who reprots the matter to the State
Department, says:
zone thousand years ago Iceland pos
northern country. 1t will be the last of
the old highly civilized communities to be
brought under the quickening influence of
instant communication with the other civ
ilzed countries Stimulating as will be this
new influence to social and commercial life,
it is from a purely material point of view
that the enterprise is of greatest immediate
significance to the people of Iceland. OF
the IS, 40 inhabitants on the island in 1901,
81 per cent are supported directly by hSh-
ing and whaling; the products of the fisher
les, including whale and shark oil, conSti-
tute 81 per cent of the value of the export
trade The ancient barter system is being
rapidly abandoned, and the products of the
fisheries now, to a large extent, dis
posed of for cash. 1t is, therefore, of much
greater Importance than formerly that those
engaged in the fishing industry be relieved
from the disadvantage of ignorance of cur
rent prices in the great fish markets of Eu-
rope n the time sales are negotiated.

Railways IN Philippines

The Secretary of War is already receiv-
ing letters of inquiry concerning the public
works authorized in the Philippines by the
Cooper act, which became a law few days
ago; and there promises to be considerable
rivalry in securing the concessions for the
construction of railroads under the sub
sidy provision. At least five, and perhaps
six syndcates are ready to undertake the
work, and it is probable that the conces-
sions will be divided between them. While
Secretary Taft was governor general ne
organized a commission of engineers under
the direction of J. P. Norton, who made
preliminary survey of about 700 miles
of railroad connecting the principal cities
of the island of Luzon, and they reported
in favor of three trunk lines:
First. From Manila to APART, 1876 miles,
highest altitude 1850 feet, twenty miles
of rock canyon work. 4.Coo feet of tunnels,
maximum grade three and a half per cent,
cost S6,61J,602.
Second. From Daigupan to Laoag, 16S
miles through fiat agricultural country,
good many bridges required. maximum
grade half of one per cent, no rock work,
cost So, 361 ,0}6.
Third. From Manila to Batangas, 60 miles,
fiat country, agricultural districts, best
sugar, rice, coffee and hemp land in Luzon;
maximum grade one and one-half per cent,
cost 81 .O9I ,45I

build the old-fashioned narrow gauge road,

145 years OF age and to have fought in the
American revolution. But Mr.. {. X. Bone

Russia Wants a Port.

It is believed that Russia, in the negotia-
tons will insist upon having a port on the
coast of China because Germany England
and France enjoy that advantage. And it
is also believed that she will demand the
harbor of San-mun-wan Crhree Entrances

Shanghai and the mouth of Yang-tse river.
That port was demanded by Italy after the
Boxer troubles but China refused to make
the cession and the other European powers
sustained her.
1t is expected also that before Russia
makes overtures for peace she will attempt
to create international situation" and
involve the. European powers in compiled.

Japan's Probable Demands.

1t is believed here that the terms upon
which Japan will insist as the price of
peace will include the following:
1. A pledge from Russia and the other
European powers that the territorial in
tegrity of China shall be preserved, with
an open door for the commerce of all ma
tons equal terms.
.. 4 pledge that Russia will never inter
fere in Korean affairs attempt to recover
her prestige there.
3. The evacuation of the province of
Manchuria by Russian troops.
1. The rebuilding of the Manchurian
branch of the Siberian railroad, with
pledge that it shall never be employed for
military purposes.
5. Japan TO retain possession of Port Ar
thur as long Germany occupies Kiao-
chau and Britain is at Wei-hai-wei
6. The restoration to Japan of the Island
of Saghalien. taken from her by Russia
many years ago.
I A limit to the number of warships
maintained by Russia in Asiatic waters.
An indemnity to cover the cost of the
war may possibly be demanded. but the
japanese here do not think it will be. be-
cause Japan is not fighting for money, but
for principle, and will place no money
value upon the sacrifices 1t has made in
the defense and enforcement of that prin-
ciple.

What Japan Has Accomplished.

She has already accomplished almost
everything that was in the mind of the
mikado at the beginning of the war, viz:
First, the Russian influence in Korea has
been entirely destroyed. All of the many
Russian officials connected with the Korean
government have been dismissed and sent
away; ali Russian interests in<the hermit
kingdom have been abandoned and there
are no Russian troops in the Korean PENN
sua, where Japan is now supreme.
Second Port Arthur has been captured
and the Russians have been driven from
the Iiaoyang peninsula. The japanese
hoped and intended to drive them still far
Their back before winter set In, and that is
the only feature of their campaign in which
they have failed. 1t was their plan TO
force the enemy through the Tia Pass ana
fortfy it during the winter, so that II
would be impossible for him TO recover any
portion of the territory south of that point.
But the stubborn resistance of kuropat-
kin was too much for the japanese army.
He still occupies Mukden and considerable
area TO the southwark of the mountains.
Third. the naval power of Russia in the
east has been destroyed, and Fladivostok
will be blockaded by japanese ships as
soon as the ice blockade of nature is
broken up. The Russians will endeavor TO
make that harbor with their Baltic fleet,
which now les somewhere off the coast OF
Madagascar: but, in the opinion of naval
experts it is extremely doubtful whether
thai great armada ever passes the China
sea 1t will be considered almost Il mira
Gle if il ever does.
