TRANS -PACIFIC CABLE
It Will Be Built by Some Brit
x sh Capitalists.
MID-OCEAN STATION SELECTED
Its Length Will e Nearly 7,000 Miles,
or Almost Three Times That uf
j, the Trail.-Atlantic Cable.
San Francisco, July 4. Hugh Craig,
vice-president of the chamber of com
merce, says that from . a , thorough in
vestigation of the subject he is con
vinced that the Pacific cable, which
has been talked about for years on this
side of the United States, and discussed
ad interim in oongress, is to be built
by British capitalists.
To the statement that Englishmen
and Australians, with Canada, have
. decided to undertake the work, he adds
the further fact that the difficulty of
obtaining a midocean Btation has been
.overoome. . It will be remembered that
the United States government deoided
' " last winter not to sanction the estab
lishment of Buch a station on any of
the Hawaiian islands to be controlled
solely by Britishers. ,'., To avoid inter
national complications, a Btation has
1 been decided upon in latitude 3 north,
on Fanning island. "
The qable is to- be laid from Auck
land, N. Z. , to Norfolk island, in the
South Pacific, a distance of 415 miles.
' The second section of the cable will be
from Norfolk to Fiji, a distance of
1,587 miles, the third to Fanning isl
and, 1,715 miles, and the fourth and
largest section, from Fanning island to
Vancouver, B. C, a distance of 8,232
miles. The total length of this cable
would thus be 6,899 miles, or almost
three ' times as long, .as the shortest
' "tranB-atlantio oabhv I
The cost of this cable from Auokr
land to Vancouver will be 51,000,000
pounds. This cable, it is . proposed,
shall be only one of a number of cables
- connecting with it in the southern
" hemisphere. The principal connection
will be between Auckland and Sydney,

Satisfied to Be a Woman.
Washington, Del., July 4. Miss
Hettie Dickey, the pretty young blonde
who returned to her father's bouse in
Stanton yesterday, is cured of all de
sire to be a man. She left her home
in that little village three months ago
'. dressed in a man's garb. Miss Dickey
explained tonight that she had for
. years wished she were a man. The
impulse to see the world as a man
grew upon her to suoh an extent that
she finally decided to leave home. . She
secreted a suit of her brother's clothes,
and on March 24 she slipped quietly
. into the shed and put on the masouline
attfre. t She walked oalmly out of the
yard In front of her home to the road
. leading to Kiamenski station on the
Baltimore & Ohio. She followed the
track for three miles without meeting
anyone. Then two men came in sight,
and for fear of detection she turned
aside into a field and made her way to
Newark, whither she took the train for
Baltimore, where her experiences have
taken away all desire to be a man.
Favors the Panama Canal.
r. New York, . July 4. Ex-Congress-?
man Luther F.: McKinney, of New
' Hampshire, minister to the ; United
; States : of Colombia, ' arrived on the
Finance and is registered at the St
James. He is aocompanied by his
wife, and visits this country on his va-
, cation.
To a reporter Mr. McKinney said:
J The all-absorbing question in the
South American states is the Nica
ragua canal. They want a canal and
. are looking to the United States to
build it. I am not a member of any com
' mission, and cannot speak authorita
tively, but I have studied the question,
and have conoluded the best plan is to
' complete the Panama canal.
v "It our government could buy the
Panama canal as it stands and com
plete the twenty-four miles, it would
be a good thing-.,"
AGAINST THE STANFORD ESTATE
The Case of the Government Will Soon
, . Be Appealed. , .
San Francisco, July 8. L. D. Mc
Kissick, speoial counsel for the govern
ment in the suit to recover 115,000,000
from the Stanford estate,' says the case
will, at onoe be appealed to the United
States court of appeals, and from there
to the United States supreme court if
necessary. He says the litigation will
not affect the Stanford university, no
matter what the outoome will be.
Much Interest Shown In Washington.
NewYork, July 3. The Herald's
Washington special says the decision
of Judge Ross in San Franoisco, in re
gard to the claim of the government
against the stockholders of the Central
Pacific, has been received here with
much interest. , Not ' only was the
theory of the personal liability of
stockholders under the California law
very fully discussed, but Mrs. Stanford
made special trips to Washington con
cerning it, and had an interview with
the President, urging acceleration in
the trial of the case, so that she, as
executrix, might distribute her hus
band's" estate. - "'' '
Those who have been interested in
the case here have learned little from
the meager reports of Judge Ross' de
oison, but it seems that his chief reason
for setting the claim aside is that the
personal liberty clause in the Califor
nia constitution was not adopted until
after the government had entered into
its contract with the builders , of the
road. , , . ' ..
Attorney-General Harmon has' just
received from San Francisco copies of
the government decisions in the case,
and is preparing to take up the matter.
It is not doubted that the case will ' be
carried to the supreme court.'" This
will add another year or two to the
time already occupied by the proceed
ings..;'. 2" ' '
THE DEATH OF PEIXOTO.
It Was Entirely Unexpected and Has
.-. Caused Much Kxcltement. : '
Buenos Ayres, July 8. The report
of the death of ex-President Peixoto, of
Brazil, reached Rio de Janeiro Satur
day night. It has been impossible to
get details before this owing to the dis
tance from Rio de Janeiro to Peixoto's
home, ."''' - ' " f "
The ex-president expected to leave
his home for Rio de Janeiro when he
was attacked with a fatal disease, a
combination of beri-beri fever and an
abscess of the liver. He was comatose
until his death. Physicians were at
once summoned from Rio de Janiero to
embalm the body. When it arrived at
Rio Janeiro, however, it was in a bad
oondition. -
There was great excitement in the
latter oity, and groups of friends of
Peixoto and the late Admiral Saldanah
da Gama gathered in force in the
streets showing a decidedly angry
spirit. These groups were finally dis
persed by the police.
All the clubs and theaters are closed,
and all flags are placed at half-mast.
It has been decreed that the funeral
shall be publio and military in char'
acter. , . " ' ."
One of the leading papers in Rio de
Janeiro deeply laments the death of
Peixoto.- Others content themselves
with notices of the death, adding that
it will oertainly end the spirit of op
position of President Moraes, as there
is now no leader of the party of which
Peixoto was the head. .
A Famous Railroad Tax Case.
Ashland, Ky.,'July 8. In Carter
oounty there is intense excitement , be
cause of the appearance of strangers
who acknowledge their mission to be
to collect the famous railroad tax,
which has been , in dispute for forty
years. This tax grows out of the bond
issue of 175,000 to the , Elizabethtown
& Lexington & Big Sandy railroad
from Lexington to Cattlesburg. The
company, after securing the bonds,
abandoned the project, selling . the
bonds at a liberal discount to David
Hinton, a millionaire at Cincinnati.
Through a mistake of the county at
torney in drawing up the contract, the
road escaped the liability for construc
tion, and its refusal to meet its agree
ment gave rise to a the contest, which
has ever since been successfully main
tained. ;A11 of the bondholders, save a
single resident of Carter county, are
dead, and 2,500 of the next . generation
have organized to resist the collection.
Numerous attempts have failed, and it
is now regarded as worth your life to
attempt the collection. Two months
ago a deputy collector, after making a
levy upon the farmer's property, es
oaped being lynched by 500 people only
by slipping off in the night. The men
are determined that no collection shall
be made, and openly annouoe it All
that holds the matter from a crisis
now is a doubt of the sincerity of . the
collector and his allies.

Tolton, formerly of this city, but now

The complaints are sworn ' to by F.
D. Schuyler, Chinese inspector, recent

at Washington, with headquarters at
Seattle. It has been known for some
time that a conspiracy existed, and that
the bogus certificates have been issued

ment detailed Mr. .Schuyler to . come
out here and investigate . the matter.
Three hundred bogus certificates have
been Sprinted by the conspirators, but
how many have been put in circulation
has not been ascertained. It is alleged
by Schuyler that Graham is one of the
chief instigators, with several other
prominent officials connected with the
treasury department, in having the cer
tificates made, and that Edward Rick
was employed to engrave the seal from
a sketch made by Pollard, and -that

I was astonished today when .ar
rested, and it was the first intimation
that I have had that I was in any way

THE DANGER IN SUGAR
Some' Interesting Facts Not
Known at Home.
UNCLEAN AND GERM - LADENED
Chinese Wares Being Largely Con
sumed in Oregon ana Washington
, That Are Unfit for Use. '
Portland, Or., June 26. The steam
ship Tacoma arrived at Victoria re
cently from Hong Kong, China, with
the latest Oriental advices and reports
the plague in that unfortunate country
again raging violently. It is said by
natives from Amoy that this awful pes
tilence has suddenly broke out in the
Tungan district, China, with terrible
violence, 40 per cent of the inhabitants
actually dying of the disease and few
escaping the sickness. Those who are
able to leave are doing so only to carry
the plague elsewhere. -
Referring to the report a well-known
business man stated to the press repre
sentatives tonight that the Tungan dis
trict is one of the sources of supply for
raw sugar for the Hong Kong sugar
refineries and as large quantities of
these sugars were shipped to the' Do
minion of Canada and the United
States that the people hardly appreciate
the frightful resuls that might fol
low the introduction of the plague into
America through the use of unclean
merchandise., , ,:
In view of all this a recent article
published in a leading coast paper
which dealt exhaustively with tne sub
ject is of general interest and is produced
below. After some general remarks on
household economy this stated:
The principal sources of sugar supply
are the refineries situated in the differ
ent parts of the United States; but a
very large portion of the stock , that is
manufactured by these refineries is im
ported from Germany, the Sandwioh
islands and the West Indies. An'other
point of importance for refined sugars
is China, ; but the sugars - from that
country are only used in any quantity
on the Pacific coast Not less than
$1,500,000 was sent to China for sugar
oonsumed on the Pacific cost during the
year 1894, and the business threatens
to increase.
' Now there are two very important
factors to the development of this
Western country. The first is to pro
duce these articles that are in demand,
and which can take the place of im
ported products for which our money
has to be sent away. The second is to
encourage the population in our imme
diate section to consume those articles
that are produced as far as possible on
the coast. ' :
There are several ' sugar factories in
California, doing a large business. In
1894 they spent for labor alone $500,-
000. ... While there is room for other
factories, there is plenty of sugar here
co supply the demand; and the import
ing of China sugars has been carried
on simply because there, is a tendency
on the part of our own people, consum
ers and merchants, to buy the' cheapest
article that is offered, irrespective of
quality. We do not think the con
sumer is altogether to blame for this.
FIG.,2. '. ', ; v :
The - retail grocer takes that sugar
which -will afford him the greatest
profit : Unless the ; consumers are
watchful, . they cannot be sure that
they are not eating sugars that are
manufactured by the cheap coolie la
borer of the Orient, where hand labor,
though nasty, is so cheap that there is
no inducement to use machinery. ' Cus
tom house figures absolutely show that
there were imported into the Portland
and Port Townsend (Oregori and Wash
ington) districts in 1894, 11,000,000
pounds of refined sugars from Hong
Kong, and all of this sugar was han
died in a surreptitious way by our re
tail grocers (for our . wholesalers will
not buy it, the retailer getting his sup
plies direct from the importer s brok
ers), and sold as American sugars.
Ask any grocer if he handles China su
-.-.-,'-'- - FIG. 1.
gars, and he will answer "No." What
has become of the 11,000,000 pounds
imprted? :
It probably goes without saying that .
the Eastern, or Oriental countries, are
the hotbeds for the development of all
kinds of horrible, loathsome human
diseases, the cholera, smallpox, leprosy,
etc. In one instance, in 1892, the
steamer Palmas, which brought 2,000
to 3,000 bags of China sugar to Vic
toria, had smallpox on board, and
there were later cases of the same dis
ease among the stevedores who helped
to discharge the vessel. In 1894, the-
great sugar refineries of Hong Kong
were compelled to cease operations for
lack of labor due to the plague, and
now we are told that the black plague
has broken out this spring. ,., . .
In View of the introduction of quan
tities of Chinese sugars, it may be as
well that the publio is informed on the
very highest possible authority, of the
danger that may be attendant upon
their use. Professor Cameron, public
analysist, Dublin, a gentleman who has .:
made it his special business to examine
all kinds of foreign sugars, refined and
others, says that certain kinds of them
should never be used. He states that
they contain great numbers of disgust
ing insects, which produce disgusting
disease. Their shape is very accurately
shown in the accompanying cut, which
is magnified 200 diameters. Figured
is the under side and figure 2 the dip
per. The professor's description is as
follows:
"The insect (the acarus sacchari) is a
formidably organized, exceedingly live
ly and decidedly ugly animal."
Probably enough has been said here
to awaken some interest in this subject,
and it is hoped readers of this article
will stipulate when they order sugar
that it is produced on the Pacific coast,
and show that they want sugars made
by home refineries, which employ
white labor only.
Statistics show that this country has
sent abroad in a single year $116,000,-
000 for sugar alone.or a per capita con
sumption of 67 pounds. , Of this im
mensse consumption 1,700,635 tons
were foreign sugars, and yet it has
been asserted by one of the most prom
inent men connected with this business
that California alone, if the interest
were propel ly developed, would pro
duce enough raw beet sugar to supply.
the demand of the entire United States.
What a boon it would be to Oregon if
we could locate in the central portion
of our. territory a refinery for making -.
beet-sugar.
