This plain af- fords an ideal route for a submarine tele- | graph cable. In general the bed of the ocean between Midway Islands and Guam is another great level plain from 3100 to 3200 fathoms deep. It is, however, somewhat brok by submarine reefs and mountaln ranges The first thousand miles from Midway, with the exception of one isolated moun- tain peak not far from Ocean Island, r ing to within elghty-two fathoms of the surface, is entirely level. The remainder of the distance, however, while in general fairly level, is interspersed with reefs and mountain ranges that required much time to explore and avoid.

Dr. made his escape shortly after the first up- rising of the Boxers. In the course of hi remarks Dr. Noble also said: “There is no telling how the negotiations with the Chinese officials are going to re- | suit.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—A good deal of anxiety scems to have been wasted with reference to the trade relations be- tween the United States and Germany. It will be remembered that a fear was ex- pressed some months ago that certain trade restrictions proposed in Germany | might seriously interrupt the commercial relations between that country and the United States, and especially decrease our exports to that country in agricultural products. Figures just issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statlstics show that our exports to Germany in the ten months ending with October, 1900, were $27,000,000 greater than those in the corresponaing nlonths of last year, an increase of about 20 per cent, and that our imports from Germany show an increase of $8,000,000, a gain of over 10 per cent. Of the forty great articles which com- pese the bulk of our exports to Germany more than two-thirds show an increase in 1900 as compared with 189. Those which show the principal decrease are hog pro- ducts, corn, wheat, fertilizers and certain lines of machinery. Those which show an increase are cottom, flour, fruits, to- bacco, timber, mineral olls, cotton seed ol o‘lfako and meal taliow, 2 resin, turpentine, coal, copper, builders hardware, sclentific and eleotri Between Guam and the Philippines the bed of the ocean is less regular than to | the eastward. For the first 600 knots of the route selec the depths vary from 1100 to 2700 fathoms; there are. however, no sharply defined ranges of hills or va! 3, the character of the bottom being of an undulating nature. After 600 knots | had been traversed = low mountain range | was discovered sloping to the westward, | eventually forming .a deeper plain that | extends unbroken to the Philippine I ands. The last-mentioned plain va depth from 3000 to 3500 fathoms | also of a gently undulating nature, is nothing, however, to obstruct the suc- | | cesaful laying and working of cables, and | the botton: of soft mud and ooze Indicates that a long life tc cables may be ex- | pected. The route between Guam and Yokohama | | lies to the w vard of the Ladrone Isl- and tward of the Bonin | | Isiands. st level plain with a | depth of about 2100 fathoms was found for | a distance of 500 knots from Guam. At | | that point a submarine mountain range | was discovered whick apparently connecls | the range extending from the coast of | Japan to the Bonin Islands with that of | the Ladrone Islands. While crossing this | range a submarine peak rising to within | 482 fathoms of the surface was found and developed, which, if it could be seen, would closely resemble the famous vol- ‘cano Fujiyama, near Yokohama, Japan, To the north of this range the bed of the ocean slopes gradually to the eastward ed ———— tions involved in this trouble that shows they really purpose to reinstate the young Emperor, although all acknowledge that he is the only hope of the nation’s salvi tion. And the reason is that the rei | statement of the voung man would be impracticable, He s so under the influ- ence of the Empress Dowager and she Is 80 hostlle to foreign Interests that his re- enthronement would be sure of bringing ultimate discord and eorruption. With the palace looted, with Peking divided and patrolled by different forelgn nations, there is little likelihood that the court will ever be re-established there. In my mind the only solution of the problem is the dismemberment of China among the pow- ers. Whoever may have doubted this be- fore will belleve with me now on hearing that the anti-foreign element has again issued innuendoes threatening the lives of | all foreigners.” | | | Mrs .Grant Tells of the Terrible Deeds | of Shansi’s Governor, NEW YORK, Dec, 14.—Mrs. J. 8. Grant, a missfonary at Ningpo. China, tells in a letter just recelved by the missionary so- ciety of The Livingstone-avenue Baptist Church of New Brunswick, N. J., of the | way some missionaries were slaughtered | fluences in parts of the ocean little known, The object of the surveying expedition | was most successfully and expeditiously accomplished. A satisfactory route for | an all-Ameriean cable for the purpose of | connecting the Pacific Coast with the out. | lving colonial possessions of the United States in the Pacific, and with China and Japan, has been discovered, lhorougg‘liy explored, surveyed and mapped. In ad- ditlon a great amount of data on ocean currents, prevailing winds and tidal in- that will prove of great value to naviga- tion in the future, were collected. The specimens of the bottom collected are now in the hands of the Smithsonian Institu- tion for examination, A complete and thorough survey has been made of the Midway Islands and landing places have been selected for a | cable at the various stations in the Pa- cific. The Navy Department is ready to lay a cable entirely across the Pacifle or any portion of it, at any time. The cost of making, laying and main- taining a trans-Pacific cable was esti- mated by Admiral Bradford and sub- | mitted to the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs and is $10,000.000, with vearly ex- | enses of maintenance thereafter of $475,- | . The allowance for new cable is based | on the idea of supPlylng enough new cable each year te reP ace the entire cable in forty years. This calls approximately for 200 miles of new cable per annum. i It is belleved that the cable could be | completed and ready for operation in about three years. in Shansi province. Mrs. Grant gives as her authority an eye-witness, not a con- | vert, at Taiguro. This eye-witness says | the Governor at that place ordered all | captured missionaries and converts | brought to him alive. Then, the account says: “When his first batch of missionaries was brnu%,ht in Yu Hsien ordered them to be brought straight to his yamen and placed them standing a few feet apart. he sanguinary Governor mounted a| horse. Taking a long sword from an or- | derly he galloped to the other end of tho ground, and as he 'wegt past them car- ried off four or five heads with his sword. Yu Hsien's horse then balked so that he had to dismount. The remainder of the unhappy missionaries were then dis- patched by the Boxers present.” | CANNOT REOPEN THE ROAD.| Scarcity of Locomotives and Rolling Stock the Trouble.
