CABLE TO MANILA
FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Rear Admiral Bradford Has Completed His
Investigation of the Project.
ITS PRACTICABILITY IS ASSURED
His Report is Realy for Congress Which will Donfctlcss Consider
the Military and Commercial Necessity of the Cable
Honolulu and Guam Relay Stations.
NEW YORK. Uov. 1.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Rear-Admral Bradford has complet
ed the official naval project for a trans
pacific submarine telegraph cable be
tween San Francisco and Manila In
time to supply congress with all the
essential Information at the opening of
the next session that will permit Intel
ligent consideration of the, subject and
prompt, action for the Inauguration of
the great work.
All doubt has been removed regard
ing the practicability of the enterprise
by the adoption of Honolulu, Midway
and Guam as relay stations on the
long line and by the discoveries made
from the naval survey ship Nero, as
to the character of the ocean bed be
tween those points. The sounding in
struments of thij ship disclosed an
abyss In the western Pacific over five
miles deep, but a slight divergence from
a, straight line fortunately developed
a route avoiding this insuperable ob-
stacle to laying a working cable. At
LORD SALISBURY'S
FRANK ADDRESS
APPEALED TO COMMON SENSE
TheSamoaa Matter Settled to the
Satisfaction of the Three Inter
ested Nations.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Lord Salisbury Is always phlegmatic
an! extensively practical on great oc
casions when the empire is fairly hang
ing ujxn his words. There was not a
.trac-i of emotion or excitement in his
speech last night at the Guild Hall
banquet whre and Lord Wolseley were
received like conquering h-ro.a.
He began with Samoa as quietly as
?tou;jh he were describing a bargain
in trade, and pointed out that O-rmany
was "especi illy Interested in the terri
tory there and had got what she want
ed, whereas England did not nd a
poor harbor like Apia, but a good one
like that in Tonga.
From the sentlous comment that
England's relations with Samoa were
all that could be iesired, he passed to
an equally practical discussion f the
war. lie intended that the latk of
troops In South Africa v as not due to
want of action, eip.ee an ultimatum
would have, come earlier if the troops
had been Increased earlier.
He describ.-d the ieal cause of hosil
itks as 'he Unfortunate arrangements
of 1SS1, by which a eorrmunity adrr It
ted ly hostile was allowed :i'Umu
late munitions of war. The ohj -rt of
English warfare, he asserted, was
neither gold nor territory but equal
rights for all men, and the issue f th-y
conflict would be Rood government In
South Africa.
The prime minister's spey.-h was re
markable for the coolness and laek of
sensibility with whleh supreme ques
tions of diplomacy and war were
summf-J up; yet it was a powerful and
subtle appeal to every day English
common sense and reasonableness. It
tend id to minimize controversy and
excitement anl bring out the best Erg
liuh trait sobriety of Judgment.
The diplomatic world and the lead
ing writers are still discussing the Ber
lin disclosures of the relations of Eng
land and Germany as the most Impor
tant topic of the times. America Is
generally admitted to have come out
well. The state department has ob-
another point, n stretch be
tween Midway and Guam, a submerg
ed mountain over 12,000 feet in height
was discovered and a reasonable level
road around this was found.
The physical practicability of the line
now having ben assured beyond doubt,
it only remains for congress to weigh
the military necessities and the com
mercial advantages to accrue from the
construction ind operation of the sys
tem. It was represented to congress at
its last session that the revenue to be
expected from a Pacific cable would
not attract private capital unless It had
a connection with Australia, Japan
and China, as well as with San Fran
cisco, Honolulu and Manila.
For that reason It was deemed India
pensible that the United States should
own Strong Island, in the Caroline
proupe, or a cable landing right there
j to Insure the working of a loop to
I Australia. The absence of this may
deter any corporation from undertak-
ing the operation of a cable across the
j Pacific without a heavy subsidy.
tainej the ben harbor In that quarter
of the Pacific.
The Importance of Pango-Pango as a
coaling and naval station has grrally
Increasd since the occupation of Ma
nila. America now has a Daval base
whldl can ts strxigly fortified and a
good haven, of which the full advan
tage may be taken In the development
of the Irado of the South Seas. The
state department has also Increased
American prestige by asking for Eu
ropean guarantee for the "open door"
principle In the far East and Is credit
ed with having obtained a favorable
answer from Germany.
The settlement of the Samoan ques
tion has cr?aed an area if good feeling
between America on the one side and
both England and Germany on the
other, and has left the United States
In full possession of everything for
w hich It could, reasjnably have ask.'d.
Germany has carried off the prize for
which she has b-n lung struggling In
the South Pacific and has not paid
heavily fr it either in that quarter or
in Zanzibar or In West Africa. The
disclosure of this serin of transfers of
territory and juilsdl.tion enables the
German emperor to claim the credit of
having mal? a good bargain .vlth Eng
land without ex"itlng Am-rican re tu

MINERS STRIKE.
Operators Have Been Sending Coal to
a Boycotted District.
CHICAGO, Nov. lO.-The Record to
day said:
The situation In the coal mining
fields In the southern and western sec
tions of Illinois has taken a seilous
turn, and It is said that many nf the
mines may be tied up within the next
forty-eight hours as a result of the
continued action cf operators In send
ing coal to point west and southwetd
where the miners are on a strike. The
United Mine Workers Union has been
engnged In strikes in the Indian Terri
tory, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa, In
mines, the product cf which Is con
sumed for the most part by the Gould
system of railroads.
Recently It was discovered that coal
was bdng shipped from the Belleville
district in this state to supply the
wants of the railroads, an.l the officers
of the miners unlo;i entered a protest
which was accompanied by n threat to
strike unless the rrao'le? was discon
tinued. President Hefty, of the Belle
ville district, wired John Mitchell,
president of th-- United Mine Workers
Union, asking f'l Instructions and re
ceiving a reply whl. h i.al I that If
positive evidence was ut hand that the
operators wer still sndlng coal Into
districts where strikes were in pro
gress, the men should be called out of
the mines which were producing the
coal.
President Mitchell arrived In Chicago
yesterday. He nald last night that the
situation' was most serious and that the
union would certainly carry out Its
ultimatum to strike If any more conl left
the state to supply the niMrjnds in the
southwest. During the day he received
an, urgent telegram from President
Hefty asking him to go t.i East St.
Louis and Mr. Mitchell replied that he
would start as soon as he had finished
some buslnew in Indlinnpolls.
Mr. Mitchell said:
"The miners have been carcf j in
dealing with this situation and have
done everything In their power to avoid
a rupture. The strikes In the south
west were called to enforce our wage
scale and the men In Illinois Insist that
their labor shall not be used to defeat
their brothers In the other states. I
Instructed President Hefty to order a
strike of the miners working for opera
tors who Insist in supplying rail
roads we are lighting and that order
will Btand."
