ALASKA CABLE IS LIKELY TO
 BE REVIVED

SEATTLE, July 17.-Col. Seoane, head of the Washington-Alaska cable system operated by the United States army, who is now in Washington, wires here that the house of repre- sentatiyes will consider an appropria- tion of a million and a half for re- placement of the cable between Se- attle and Sitka at the next session of congress. The last army appropria- ton bill was amended by the senate to carry this item but the house con- ferees refused to assent, and it was struck out in conference. At the time it was stated that the house was the stumbling block, and that Representative Madden of Illinois was the chief opponent of the proposi- tion. Lieut. Col. Seoane states that when the conference committee dis cussed tn appropriation it was agreed between the senate and house conferees that if the house was favor- able to the appropriation at the next session, the new army appropriation bill would carry a provision making the necessary funds immediately available. The measure has been twice approved by the senate al ready. If the new cable is laid it will mean that the signal corps oper- ators will be able to transmit from five to ten times as many words per minute as they do now.

FOURDROWNED IN COLLISION
 OF STEAMERS

SEATTLE July 17.-Four men were drowned early Sunday morning in collision between the, steamer Harry Luckenbach and, the steam schooner Henry T. Scott. The acci- dent occurred near Nash Bay in the Straits of Juan de Fuca at the en- trance to Puget Sound. The Lucken- bach rammed the steam schooner amidships and the Scott sank within five minutes. The cause, of the acci- dent was combination of dense fog mixed with the heavy pail from the forest fires on the Olympic Penin- sula. The four men drowned were all members of the crew of the Scott. Only one of the dead, T. w. c. Spen- cer, lived in this city. Spencer was chief engineer of the sunken craft. The Luchenbach dropped her life boats immediately after the collision which cruised around in the wreck age and picked up tweny- one mem- bers of the crew of the Scott, later proceeding to Seattle under her own steam. The Luckenbach was practic- ally uninjured.
