NEW YORK, March 10.-Today is a
notable one in the history of suboa-
rine telegraphy, for although the fif-
tieth anniversary of the sending of the
first message under the Atlantic ocean

year, attention has been called by the
approaching semi-centennial to the
fact that it was just fifty-four years
ago today that Cyrus w. Field. fired
with enthusiasm with the seemingly
impossible project. induced the men
afterward associated with him, led by
the venerable Peter Cooper to promise
the material support that made the ca
bic success.
AT the home of Mr.. Field in this city
on March 10, 1854, a conference was
held by Mr.. Field with the prominent
men he had induced to listen to his
story, the upshot of his pleadings be-
ing that before the meeting adjourned
he had induced all present to sign an
agreement to support the Atlantic ca
BILE project The signers of the agree
ment, besides Cyrus w. Field and Pc
ter Cooper, We're David Dudley Field,
Marshall 0. Roberts, Moses Taylor
and Chandler White.
The last named died in 1856, before
the first cable was laid, but his place
was at once taken by Willis G. Hunt.
A historical painting marking the
date of the agreement, done by Daniel
Huntington, now hangs i'm the chamber
of commerce in this city.

TACOMA, Wash, March 1o.-A spe-
cia from Tenino, Wash, says Warren
Mckay, a native of Canada, killed his
wife and two children at their home
and committed suicide here last night.
Two men on their way to work early
this morning found McKay's body, clad
in mis- underclothing, on trail leading
to town, about quarter of a mile from
his home. The body was cold and 1t is
believed that he poisoned himself. as
no marks of violence We're visible. The
men notified the town marshal imme-
diately and he went to the house to
notify Mrs. Mckay, where he was hor-
rified to find the mother and two of the
children, a girl of years and boy of
4, with their throats cut, and a girl 6
years of age with her head crushed by
blows of hammer. The bodies of two
children were lying on a bed. The third
child will recover.
Mckay has resided in Tenino for ten
years and has been suffering from a
cancer of his face, which has preyed
upon his mind. He sold his home here
and went back to Michigan three years
ago, returning here last year. when his
wife wanted to return to Michigan.
The knowledge that lis disease was in
durable and his family not provided for
is generally believed TO be the cause
of the deed.

tion in reporting the Burnett bill, II
will cost $40 instead of S. after July 1,

So great has become the bulk OF

oenters such as New York. Boston,

SACRAMENTO, March 10.--Pardons
were made out in the governors office
today for Edward Morrell, j. II. Grande
and Edward f. Boese, who are now
serving terms in the San quentin
prison. ,.
Edward Morrell was sent up for life
from Fresno county in 1894 for rob-
berry, but Morrelrs real offense was
liberating Christopher Evans from the
Fresno county Jail. The charge was
based on the fact that he took City
Marshal Morgans revolver from his
belt in a scuffle and the liberation of
Evans followed. Morrell was in love
with the notorious bandits daughter
at the time. His sentence is commuted
immediately and he is to be restored
to citizenship.
Grande was sentenced from Stock
ton in 1907 to term of two and a
half years on a charge of forgery.
Boese was sent up for two years
from Los Angeles coutny in 1907 for
assault with deadly weapon.
