FOR PACIFIC CABLES The International or All-American Routes Described, LATTER GOES BY WAY OF HAWAIL Comparison on a Globe or a Gno- monic Chart. BRITISH PROJECT COSTLY To understand the present situation with regard to the various Pacific cable projects you must know a little about what is called “great circle’ navigation. Harrington Em- erson of Philadelphia, who is the man most in evidence in the movement for a cable that shall skirt American and Asiatic shores, instead of crossing the Pacific di- rect, has made a study of great.circle navi- gation and has appeared before the Unite States Senate and various officials in‘Wash- ington for the purpose of explaining what ders the advantages of the route To elucidate his explanation Mr. Emer- son uses a small globe and a copy of the or “great circle sailing chart ifie ocean,” issued by the hydro- graphic office of the United States govern- ment. The physical features of the earth as shown on such a chart are curiously dis- torted, but not me on a chart construc ) than when shown w I-known don the projection of Mercator.

Dutch Harbor, 770 miles; then to Attu, the west- ernmost North American island, S10 miles: then to northern J a total miles, ten pe! cent for cause of the shallowness which the c will be laid. This route follows very closely, but not exactly, the g » on which Seattle and the northernmost point of Luzon are located. It lies comparatively close to the shore everywhere and consequently does not pass over any spots of profound ocean depths like the Nero deep, lately sounded by the expedition that was engaged in sur- veying the proposed southern cable route. For this reason this cable could be lighter than if it were laid directly across the Pa- cl and this, as well as the lesser length of cable required, wou!d make it much less costly. Mr. Emerson would not continue the cable beyond Japan, for the reason that there connections could be made with land wires already in operation. From the south- ernmost point of Japan to Luzon, 600 miles, he would lay another cable (making a grand total of a little more than 5,000 miles of cable), thus completing the electrical communication between the United States and our oriental po: ions. The “All American” Route. The Pacific cable route, sometimes called the “all American,” is projected from San Francisco to Honolutu, 2,403 miles; then to y Island, 1,311 miles; thence to miles, and thence to the Phil- 1,784 miles; a total of 7,03 miles, including a slack of 15 per cent, the amount of slack as calculated being greater than for the northern route, because of the greater depth at which the cable would lie. chief mover in the “all American” e cable project is James J. Sc of the company), wh y identified with the s aphs along the western coast of South America. Links connecting the lines of this system with the Pecitie ca- ble will undoubtedly be made, providing the latter {ts laid. The cost of the two Pacific lines has been variously estimated, of course. In truth, however, there is no way of making accurate statements as to this matter, though there is a general agreement that a cable along the southe: route would be more costly than the other. One set of es- timates places the expense of laying the northern cable at $3,000,000 and the south- ern one at $12,000,000. Undoubtedly the lat- ter figure can be reduced to $10,000,000 by laying a comparatively light cable. ‘As the average depth of the southern route is put at 3,000 fathoms, however, a very light cable could not be us if it were there would be danger of its breaking of its own weight in the laying. The great distance between stations would also make the use of a light cable impracticable, while the comparative shortness of the links in the northern cable would in large measure op- erate exactly the other w: Mr. Emerson aims, also, that because of the shorter links of the northern cable, messages could be transmitted over it much more rapidly than over a cable Isid to the south. Pro and Con. It fs argued in favor of the southern route that it fs all American and that {t touches Hawaii, now an especially impor- tant point to the United States government. For this r n it is sought to have the government r build the cable outright or subsidize it. Various plans looking to both these courses have been suggested, it being held that, owing to the heavy initial expense and the high operating cost, no private corporation could lay and work such a cable profitably without government help. It is hardly expected that any of these plans will be acted upon finally before the adjournment of the present session of Con- gress. ‘The friends of the nerthern cable do not ask government help, serting that by rea- son of their cable touching at various points, such as Sitka and Dutch Harbor, they would have plenty of business to make their enterprise pay from the start. They would hesitate about laying a cable to Asia at all if the government were to back the proposed southern cable, because then the Asiatic business would be divided, and so be too small te yield a profit. They might lay their cable to Dutch Harbor, however, in any event, efnce Dutch Harbor, being near the new Cape Nome gold fields, would furnish plenty of business. ‘They agree that a cable connecting San Francisco and Hono- lulu should be laid, but they suggest that it be an independent line, and not be ex- tended across the Pacific.

PAINE CELERY COMPOUND is the home remedy of the American people. It restores strength and assists to a healthful develop- ment of the tired or exhausted body. JULIA MAYS, 240 Fifth Avenue, New York, writes: “Paine’s Celery Compound has restored me to perfect health after years of nervous insomnia. I can now sleep peacefully and sweetly for hours at a time, a thing I had not done for years before taking the Com- pound. Surely, women who have ill health, or mental worry, cannot find a remedy more beneficial than Paine’s Celery Compound.” Paine’s Celery Compound is a medicine to strength- en nerves, stomach, liver, kidneys. reason of arctic weather, they point out that its most northern point, Kadiak, is in the latitude of Aberdeen, Scotland, and of ‘older climate. At Dutch Harbor they hat no temperature has been recorded jow 12 degrees above zero; this is because of the Japanese current, which modifies the temperature of western North America pre- cisely as the gulf stream modifies the tem- perature of western Europe. No Corporation Yet. No corporation to build the international cable has yet been formed, nor has the route been closely surveyed as yet. A sur- vey will be made next summer, in ail proba- bility, however, and the corporation will be formed later, providing the government does not take up with the other route. In any event, there {s likely to be no cable connecting the United States with the Phil- ippines in the immediate future. Friends of the southern route Say it would take them two or three years ‘to lay their cable, and while the friends-ofsthe northern line claim they could lay theirs in six months at longest, they age likely in no circum- stances to begin work befcre 1902. The proposed alfBritth Pacific cable scheme is the only other Pacific project now on the carpet.

School matters were considered at a meet- ing of colored residents of the District held last evening in the Fifteenth Street Pres- byterian Church. Mr. John F. Cook presid- ed and R. W. Thompson was the secretary. A sketch of the colored schools of the Dis- trict was read by Mr. Henry Johnson, and the conclusion was reached that the colored schools had been managed with an intelli- gence and economy equal to that of the white schools. Speeches were made by Rey. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. W. J. Howard, Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. Reuben Smith, Marcellus West, George W. Cook and John L. Love. The speakers argued for the continuance of the stem of management of the colored school by representatives of the colored race. Resolutions were adopted expressing oppo- sition “to the abolition of the position of superintendent of colored public schools or a reduction of the board of trustees whereby We shall lose our proportional representation; and we recognize the fact that in the pro- posed reorganization both are jeopardized, and we should, without hesitation, seek to secure the very best possible result, in the event of a change, by a harmonious and concerted action. “That in the proposed reorganization the board of education should be increased to nine, so that proper representation may be given colored citizens on the basis of the enrollment of colored children in the public schools; that two superintendents be pro- vided instead of one, and that one of these shall be in charge of the colored schools.” ——.—__ Plans for “Old Home Week” Reunion.
