SEATTLE, July 22. Major Russell, of the cable ship Burnside, which has
been engaged in laying the government cable from Sitka, Alaska, to Seattle,
has requested the local weather bureau to furnish him with daily weather
forecasts to enable him to guard against the trouble from storms that has
hampered the work of the ship during the past month.
Alnjor Russell reports that his vessel has encountered almost constant
stormy weather since the work began, and several times they have been in
decidedly bad situations. To guard against future recurrence of these trou
bles, he asks that a report be cabled him via the new cable every day, from
the time the ship again picks up the broken end until she lands the cable at
Cape Flattery. ' He is especially anxious to be warned of weather conditions
while at work in the vicinity of the cape, because of the severity of storms
there and the dangers.
If the chief of the bureau grants Observer Salisbury permission to send
the forecasts to the ship, they will be sent over the wires to Sitka, thence
through the new cable to the ship, where they will be received. In this man
ner direct communication will be maintained between the local weather of
fice and the cable ship until she reaches Cape Flattery.
The forecasts will notify Major Russell of the barometric conditions, the
direction and velocity of winds and whether the day will be foggy, cloudy,
sunshine or rainy. The object is to keep the ship posted as to what weather
may be expected that she may cut the cable and seek shelter if a storm
approaches, thus saving time and guarding against mishaps.
During the last month, it Is said, the ship has been tempest tossed prac
tically all the time. For several days she was enveloped in such a dense fog
that she could do nothing at all, and had to stand and be buffeted about by
the waves.

QUEENSLAND'S
The fact that the area of cane put under crop in Queensland last year is
nearly 40 per cent higher than the acreage for 1902 has been rather various
ly accounted for. It is generally admitted that the "rush to plant cane" Is
due to the prospects of the withdrawal of kanaka labor. Those who are op
posed to the employment of kanakas assert that the increase is due to an
Improvement in the industry. This view is, however, opposed by people
who are most concerned in sugar-growing. It is said that most of the farm
ers, seeing no prospect of being able to carry on without kanaka labor, are
getting as much cane as possible planted in order to reap the benefit before
the time expires, and their farms are thrown up.
