UNCLE MS CALL
WILL GIRDLE THE WORLD
WITH NEW YEAR GREETING
Expected to Encircle the Globe In Ten
Second Over a Million Miles of
Wire Will Be Used In Transmit
flnn thr Mettaaae Will Start at
Washington, Golno Westward and
Will Return to That Point
Washington, Doc. 31. Promptly on
tho stroke or midnight tonight Uncle
Sam will Btnrt a New Year greeting
around the world. Tho army posts
and naval stations of tho United
States In Hawaii, Guam, the Philip
pines, Porto nieo. Alaska and other
parts of the world will receive the
message, tho sending of which Is
made possible by the completion of
the Pacific cables and those In Alas
ka. In Icsb than ten seconds thla sa
luM will completely encircle the giobo
and return to tho starting point tho
,hlto, lowering naval observatory or.
Georgetown Heights.
This, at least, Is the calculation of
Lieutenant Commander Everett Hay
den, the naval officer In chargo of tho
observatory. The route of the mes
sage will be by telegraph to San
Francisco and thence by way of th-i
new Pacific cablo to Honolulu, to
Midway, to Guam, to Manila and to
Hong Kong.
Flashing up and down tho entire
l.nstern coast of Asia it will cross
Sumatra, Ilorneo and Java to Austra
lia and New Zealand. By the land
route across Siberia It will bo flash
ed to Moscow and St. Petersburg, and
there be taken up by the thick mesh
of wires covering northern and cen
tral Europe, passing London and at
the sumo time spanning the coast of
Africa. From Alexandria It will be
Bhot 750 miles up the Nile, Into the
very heart of the dark continent.
Leaping out Into the isea, It will
register Itself i the Isles of Mada
gascar and Mauritius. From Lisbon
to the Maderias and over the Cape
Verde Islands it will jump to Per
nambuco, Brazil, thence down Into
central Argentina and up into Boli
via, across the Windward isles, the
Lesser An-llles and West Indies, and
then home again to Washington.
Over 1.150,000 miles of wire and
cable will be utilized iu transmitting
the message. When the midnight
signal reaches Chicago It will be an
hour before the birth of the new year.
Similarly, It will be 10 o'clock when
the signal flashes into the Denver
and the mountain belt towns and 9
o'clock when It reacnes the Pacific
coast. When the island of Midway is
reached the clocks will register 6 p.
m.
t'p to this point the message will
be ahead of the new year, but as the
Island of Midway marks the Interna
tional date line, where each new year
is born, the instantaneous spark will
bo flashed Into Guam at 3 p, m. New
Year's day, while our soldiers in the
Philippines will receive the greetings
at about the hour they have finished
their New Year dinner.
At Calcutta and Ceylon it will bo!
11 a. m., at Bombay, 10 a. m.. at
Aden, 8 a, m.; at Rome, C a. m.; iu
the Canary Islands, 4 a, ni.; in east
urn Brazil, 3 a. m.; and so on back
to Washington, all within the ten sec
onds following the midnight hour
when the message was started on Its
way
It Is intended to receive both the
outgoing and Incoming signals on the
same chronograph nt tho naval ob
servatory, and thus preserve a per
manent graphic record of both on a
single sheet of paper. It Is suggest
ed thai, besides demonstrating the
possibilities of practical astronomy
and telegraphy, working together
through International co-operation,
benefits will result from the general
attention that It will direct to ad
vantages of the use of accurate stan
dard time throughout the world.
COTTON MILLS IN HARD LINES.
Dividends Durinq 1903 Smaller Thai
In Preceding Year.
Boston, Mass.. Dee. 31. The year
ending today has been an unsatisfac
tory one for the cotton mills of New
England, as Is shown by reports from
New Bedford, Lowell, Fall Illver and
other centers of the milling industry.
There have ueen a number of con
tributing causes for tho disaster, but
over and above all others tho condi
tions that have ruled In the cotton
market for the past IS months natur
ally take precedence.
The dividends paid by the different
mills during the year afford the best
evidence of existing conditions. Tho
dividends of the Fall River mills for
tho year averaged 5.06 per cent, as
compared with 6.47 per cent In 1S02.
The same comparison holds good as
regards Lowen, Providence, Now
Bedford and tho other largo cotton
mill centers of New England.

STATE" DEMOG R A G Y
WHO WILL BE THE NEXT
STATE CHAIRMAN7
Captain White' Retirement Will Ne
cessltate a Search for New Timber
Wehrung Is Impossible on Ac
count of Dutie. at St, Louis Sweek
May Be Next Chairman.
A Salem special to the Oregon
Dally Journal says In regard to thin-ported
retirement of Captain Sam
uel White of Baker City from the
chairmanship ot the democratic state
central committee:
Thure is a persistent rumor about
that a vacancy Is nbotit to occur in
the chairmanship of the stale demo
cratic central committee, that Cni
tnln Samuel White, the present chnlr
man, will resign, nnd already the
tongues of leading democrats he
are studying the situation with n
ilew to tlndiug the best man to place
Ir that position should Captain White
really decline to serve in that capuc
Ity i-ny longet.
Sferal names of prominent demo
crats r.re already being used in 'his
connection, any one of whom wo.ild
tioubtless be entirely satlsfac'.o to
the majotlty of tho party in the state.
Go"crnor Chamberlain was lust ev
ening asked as to what ho I; tie- re
garding the situation, and what hi
thought would be the result If Mr.
White declined to longer remain In
the work. The governor, in answer
to a question, said:
Governor Chamberlain Talks.
"I have heard rumors of that kind,
and Mr. White told me hlmsulf a
short time ago that his official and
private business was such that It
would be difficult for him to sorvo
another term- as chairman. Besides
that he will probably bo nominated to
succeed himself ns district attorney,
and In that event he may feel tha'
it would not be proper for him to
servo as chairman."
When the governor was asked who
would be chairman in the event Mr
White declined to continue in that
trying and responsible position, he
said:
"Mr. White has done such valiant
service for tho party and has been
so loyal to it and to his friends tnat 1
would hate to seo him rostgn. He is
my first choice for tho position.
"If, howover, ne concludes not to
run another term, I would like to see
Senator Wehrung of Washington
county, or Senator Sweek of Multno
mah eounty, succeed him.
"Both of these gentlemen are thor
oughly capable, and yet I do not
know whether either of them would
bo willing to serve. There are a num
ber of callable men In tho party, but
these are the only two whoso names
I have heard mentioned for the posi
tion as yet."
Mr. Wehrung Impossible.
A prominent domocrat in this city.
In discussing the same mutter, when
told what the governor had said
about this subject, said that Mr. Weh
rung would unfortunately not be
available, for tho reason thnt his du
ties In connection with tho St. Louis
exposition and tho Lewis and Clark
fair would take up so much of Ins
tlmo away from his private interests
that It seemed almost an outrage to
force further public duties on him
although be, too, was uno of the
ablest men for that place In westorn
Oregon. Tho gentleman continued:
uut there Is a man who can be
prevailed upon to tako that place, I
think, and the governor has mention
ed his name Senator Alox 8week of
t'ortiand, an Ideal man for tho doh!
tlon. a democrat without an enemy In
tho party, ono in whom all can and
will have aosolute confidence, and
who has tho ability to handlo the
business of a thorough campaign nec
ond only to Captatn White, the East
era Oregon hustler.
"Mr. Sweek Is an organizer of no
small ability, a good business man,
ana nis integrity is without question,
ana wun him artno head of the riem
ocratlc party of the state there is no
reason why we should not continue
In bearing a part of tho burden of tho
stato government in the near futuro
as we are doing now.
"Wo are In tho boat Dosslblo condl
tlon for tho future, ana ought to be
caroful in selecting a successor to
Mr, White, If that gontloman can
sorvo us no longer, and tho best se
lection we can make. I think, Is by
taking Senator Sweek for our stato
chairman.
"Ho will bo a worthy successor to
Mr. White, to whom we owe our suc
cess In the last tow yoars in no small
measure, and would certainly com
mand tho con-aenco and secure tho
support of every democrat of tho
stato."

New York, Dec. 31. Unusual activ
ity in the Tenderloin region served
as n reminder to those who strolled
that wny today that a change In the
administration of Greater New York
wns at hand. Notorious resorts that
have been closed during the Low ad
ministration have been refurnished
and redecorated and otherwise pre
pared for a grand opening,
When Trinity chimes ring In the
New Year tonight and also the first
day ot the administration of Mayor
McClellan and his Tammany nssoci
ates there will be celebrations and
festivities In tho region about Twen
ty, ninth street and Broadway which
promise to put all past performances
iu the shade.
The Haymarket, It is said, will
si. .no again In ull its glory and the
Tlvoll, Berlin and other resorts of a
slmllnr character thut have been dark
or nt least subdued for months past
will throw wide open their doors.
Most Interesting of all the reports
current today Is ono to the effect thnt
there will be a re-oponlng of the
Emoire, in West Twenty-ninth street.
This place has been closed ever
since a waiter nnmod Tobln murder
ed Captain Craft there and hid his
body iu the cellar after beheading it
and casting the head into tho furnace.
It Is said the resort will be reopened
tinder tho management of James i
more, an ox-convlct.
Whatever the trum may prove to
be In regard to these rumors, tho
Impression Is general In the Tender
loin that there will he no police inter
ference with tho proposed gayety.
One old Tendcrlolncr, who hB been
through previous reform eras, oiced
