Government Requires Duplex System
and Branch South.

soNcfh"cnt requires duplex system
and Branch South.
Washington, Aug. Co., Commercial
receipts from the Alaskan cable and
telegraph lines amounted to 324, 900 In
July, which Is $4,000 in excess OF the
amount collected by the United States
In any previous month. The official
dispatches sent during the month
would have cost t12, 900 had they been
paid for at the commercial rates. This
rapid increase in the demands upon
the Alaskan cable and telegraph system
will be met by the government by the
duplexing OF the cables.
Tue cableahip Burnside, which Is TO
install the duplexing apparatus at the
Alaekan end OF the cable, will probably
leave Seattle about September 10. II
Will carry 200 miles OF new cable.
which has just been shipped from New
York for the extension OF the cable SER
vice south OF Ketchikan. This extern
sion will be effected by tapping the line
from sitka to juneau at Cape Fanshaw.
From that point branch line will be
extended down to wrangel, then to
Hadley, on Prince OF Wales Island,
and then TO Ketchikan, which is only
about so miles from Port Simpson, the
English town which is to be the ter
minus OF the Grand Trunk Pacific rail-
way.
II 10 believed that this additional
200 miles OF cable will result In great
Increase In cable receipts, as the Fed
eral system tsp7 country which is
rich in mines and fisheries and already
has many large canning factories,
which stand greatly In need OF daily
communication with the United States.
In care the cable ship does not encoun-
ter bad weather, the line will probably
be completed before November 1. Cap
tain Henry w. Stamford, Of the Signal
corps, will direc, the laying of the new
cable.

eussjan Terrorists Wrenk Vengeance
on Hated Police.
81. Petersburg, Aug. ID. - Advices
rscsived from Libau state that the riot
ous demonstrations that began there
Saturday night still continue and that
the Hooiigsn element absolutely holds
sway in the city, the police being pow
erless to check 1t. Law abiding citizens
are unable to traverse the streets and q
reign OF robbery and rapine Is in pro-
oyess that will not be checked until
troops are sent to aid the police.
So far all appeals to the government
at 81. Petersburg have fallen appar-
emily upon deaf ears and this fact has
emboldened the disturbing element to
add murder to its other Crimes Five
storekeepers have been murdered dur
inc the past IL hours and hundreds OF
shops have been looted. The rioters
raided the alcohol depot, and after
filing themselves up on the fiery fluid,
paraded the streets, shouting threats
against the Jews and factory owners
and storekeepers.
Three police officers have been mur-
dered since Tuesday morning, the Ter
rorists apparently having seized upon
the confusion as Offering magnificent
opportunity to eliminate the hated
members of the police who have been
active in working against them.
There is one regiment OF infantry in
the local barracks at Libau, but it is
mutinous and the officers some days
ago took from the men all their am
munition, as it was feared that they in
tended TO mutiny.

Though Statements Coofsicf.
There continues to BE- confusion O
statements - to the magnitude Of ths
disaster at Valparaiso caused by tn.
earthquake shocks which began Thurs
day, August IS. and continued 1t fro
quent intervals throughout that and
the next two days. Dispstches from
Valparaiso to the Associated Press dat.
ed August 10 state that moderate 20
innate Of the fatalities il 1000, and
that the property loss may be ~ high
as $3.50, os o 200. which latter is a.
great a. the loss sustained by San Fran
cisco 10 consequence OF the earthquake
and fire which devastated that city last
April.
A refugee who has arrived at SANTA
90 places the known dead 1T 100 and
other messages indicate that the frst
reports OF damage and casualties we're
grs atty exaggerated.
Dispatches to the State department
ut Washington place the fatalities At
about 800. These conflicting state
menfs cannot 81 this timo be adjusted.
II IL evident that even yet confusion
and panic prevail at Valparaiso and
until order is restored II viii be impos-
sible to ascertain with accuracy the loss
OF life and property.
The dwellings In the city have been
practically abandoned by the inhsb
iisntr, who are existing as bsst they
can In the plszas and streets OF the ciSy
and In the hills adjacent to 1t, without
shelter from storm and sun, and fam
ine confronting them. Food 10 already
scarce and high Water for drinking
purposes Is lacking and disease IL
feared.
The government lie doing all II can to
bring In relief. The crippling Of the
railroads into Valparaiso constitutes .
serious factor in the situation, 40 for an
Indefinite period relief supplies can
only be ordered through other means OF
transportation, the seaboard affording
the best OF these.
At Santiago many OF the bsst public
and private buildings were wrecked.
The loss OF life there is augmented by
ths panic which seized the people,
many OF whom threw themselves from
balconies OF their homes. The destruc-
tive force OF the earthquake was exper-
fenced over largo extent OF the coun-
try, many towns sustaining serious
damage.
