At tho opening of to day's hearing of the charges arising from tho Cuban postofllco frauds, the government asked for a further examination of W. II. Reeves. Ho submitted several lettors from Charles F. W. Necley, tho government's purpose being to show tho Intimacy which existed botween Necley and Reeves.

Whon cross-cxamlnod by Rathbone'a at torneys, Reeves said he wus appointed by Perry S. Heath, the first assistant post master general. Tho contontlou of tho government today to prove Intimacy between Reeves, Rnth bono and Neelcy, by Introducing corre spondence between them, brought out a letter from Rathbone to Reeves which the government had In Its possession. Counsel declares that tho letter of Itself Bhows that Rathhono was not desirous of concealing fraud. The letter was written whllo Reeves was 111 In Florida In Feb ruary, 1900. Rathhono wroto that Colonel Burton's examination ot Reeves' books had disclosed a discrepancy of $500. Colonel Burtou thought the error lay with tho bank and suggested that the matter bo left open until tho next Investigation, but Rath bone insisted on finding tho discrepancy nnd waiting until Reeves returned to ex plain. Reeves admitted having received tho lotter and said ho thought it waa nn honest expression from Rathhono. Uxnnilniillon of Account. Whllo undor cross-examination by coun sel tor Necley nnd Rath'bone, Reeves took advantage of his position as defendant, re fusing to answer verbal questions. ,Tho chief j oints brought out were that special agents from tho United States examined Reeves' accounts In May, 1899; had re ported them correct. Reeves admitted -that It they had examined tho accounts correctly frauds would havo been discovered after July 16, 1899. Ho said Rathbono had no j authority to order an Inspection of his ac- counts, this step being only within the Jurisdiction of Colonel Burton, dnder orders from tho military governor.

Tho effect of wireless telegraphy on tho future ot tho submarine cable was developed to some extent today by the houso committee on commerce In connection with the hearing on the proposed Pacific cable. The henr- lriR was largely attended. Vlco President Ward of the Pacific Commercial Cabin company,. continuing nis uuviiiriu Mye tr-mo menlB from pomt9 btyonA (ho ln,pplnos nnd connecting wUh ch,na Japnn ti,. maintained that while there was no purpose to set up u monopoly, yet It was likely his company would have exclusive traffic arrangements with the far east. Ho also stated that there would bo questions as to tho right of the United Stales to land ii cable on foreign shores. Reprcscnta tlvo fitownrt of New Jersey Interposed tho statement that Germany's present course ogalnst Venezuela showed that tho Gorman government made Uttlo distinction between public and private rights, so that a gov ernment cable stntlon would havo about tho same status an a private station. Chairman Hepburn asked a scries of ques tlons as .to tho effect of wireless telegraphy on the submarlno cable. Mr. Ward replied thn! th- nnti- nv.lnln nrAnonlnil n nprlntlS - ., ' . wn8 not cortftln th,t the Pacific cabin nrolcet would havo been un dertaken If tho long-dlstanco experiments had occurred earlier.

Mr. Stewart wanted to know If tho "cabin companies had not chnsed Marcont out of Canada,"' to which Mr. Ward answered that ho believed tho cable companies had Insisted upon ccr tain exclusive rights they held. James Foord stated that the Asiatic asso elation doing business In the Orient favored private control. It was opposed to ti government entering tho field of private on' terprlse. President Scrymscr of the South and Central American cable system madu an extended argument favorable to govern ment control of tho Pacific cable, citing Incidents of the SpanlBh-Amcrlcan war, showing tho Importance of governmental control of the cable.

Hughes, representing an American company which produces cablo. stated that as good cables could be made In tho United States as In any other part of the world, and he aBked that Amorlcan capital have tho advantago of doing this work. Chairman Hepburn aBked If this Aroerl- can company was prepared to make a definite business proposition to the United States government. Hughes said that such a proposition would be submitted in duo form within tho next two days Mr. Hepburn asked that tho formal prop- osltlon tie In alternative form, first, for delivering n cable ot Amorlcan make at San Francisco: second, for making and laying tho cablo to Hawaii, Guam and Ma nlln.

Tho additional 10 per cent, he stated, was for tho protec tion ot American Industry. Francis B. Thurbcr, president of tho United Stntes Export association, favored private con structlon as most likely to give the earliest rabla Hdvantaaes to tho business world. in the courso of a statement by William Cullom of New York, a director of tho Paolfic Cablo company, he said tho com- piny waa laying cablo across tho Pacific and. tho company is ready to sell It nt anv time to tbo United States at an appraised valuation j. v.

She gave thli explanation of the manner In which her husband got luto trouble with the British: "I havo two brothers In the Boer army and am an Afrikander myself. This fact was used to get Dr. Anthony Into difficul ties. A man came to my husband and told him that my younger brother, Matthew, was hiding In tho bushes nearby In great need of clothing. He fell readily Into the trap and gave thciboy clothing. Meanwhile the man who had brought tho appeal to him hastened to the authorities and accused him of high treason.

The Stato de partment has received n copy of the sur rejoinder of tho Russian government to its last brief In tho arbitration of tho claims of American scalers, growing out of the srlzuro of the vessels owned by them, amounting )n value to about $500,000, In the waters or Asiatic Russia. The Russian brief, though extremely in genious in the vlow of the officials, Is based entirely upon a plea already contravened by tho United States?- namely, that the seizures by Ru33la were Justified under the tornu of tho existing modus vlvendl between the United States nnd Great Brltnln Intended to protect tho During sea seal fisheries. Tho Russian brief Introduces considerable testimony benrlng on that modus, but As sistant Secretary Plcrco of tho United States has mado the point that Russia hav ing declined to accept an invitation to Join In tho niodus, Is thorcby debarred from its benefits nt tills time. Tho last plea Is not expected to havo much effect on tho mind of Dr. Asser, tho distinguished Dutch pub Heist, who Is sorvlng as the solo arbitrator in this case. Tbo United States will make no rrsponso to tho Russian brlof nnd tho case will be regarded as closed unless the arbitrator do string special Information on tomo points alls for a further presentation.
