CHARLES T.. LEIGH, Ese, was before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations this
morning. and made a long argument in opyo-
srion TO the bill recently introduced by Sen.
a.or Morton requiring all foreign corporations
to obts In the consent OF Congress before land
ing cable upon oGr shores. Mr.. Leigh is In-
terested In the Franco. American Cable Com
pany. which has obtained permission from the
LEGISLATURE of New York to land their cable
upon the shores Of that State.
The committee has determined TO report a
substitute for Senator Merton's bill which al.
lows foreign corporations to land cables upon
our shores provided the privilege be recipro-
Gated by foreign governments. The bill also
gives the right 10 the Government TO regulate
the charges, and provides that all Government
business shall have the priority.

night was certainly one of the most brilliant
and enjoyable affairs Of this brilliant season.
The occasion brought together many OF the
notablee, resident or casual, of Washington,
but the gathering was composed largely of the
circle of home friends Of the host and hostess
consequently the affair was unusually cosy,
chatty, and soeiable. The party was a large
one, and in order that the guest. might
have ample room the well appointed ad ming
house OF an oblIsing neighbor had been bor-
rowed for the occasion, thus doubling the
amount OF space. For the accom- modatioa of
the dancers the parlors and dining room were
thrown together, and a spacious supper room
built adjoining the house.
So pleasant wedding anniversary conld no,

| The physicians OF the State have long talk
ed about establishing General Hospital to
meet universal want Of the neople They
have urged it on all occasions where oppor-
tudity has offered, and we are heartily glad to
find it still cherished in their scheme for ele-
waiting the character of the profession and
promoting the best interests Of the people.
The discussion Of this subject ON the occasion
of this last meeting of the medical ssociety
was OF surprising interest, and it lis evident
that the plan is most earnest and tondly
! cherished by every member of the fraterni-
ty. Especially earnest and hopeful are our
Portland physicians, and what was once an
I idle dream of some of the earlier ones is now
almost certainty.
I We have the promise OF an early, full and
eminently practical discussion of this great
theme during the present season. Every
physician in the State is committeeman to
canvass his own region for aid to this most
needed and most valuable Of all the institu-
tions of people. 1t would not require so
very vast sum to make beginning in re-
spectacle way, and without the slightest hurt

r Every other State, almost, in the whole
North has General Hospital where the poor
and suffering are treated better than they
could be treated by private means, and where
those who are able to pay for services OF ply
siean and nIrse may do so to the advantage
of the institution and themselves. The
whole plan of the General Hospital, as un-
derstood in our country and in Europe, is
born of the best types of modern civilization
and is glorious matter to humanity at large,
as well as to the sick and suffering and the
profession most directly related to it. X lsa
We hope, ere long, to be able to announce
that the ideas of our worthy physic ;ans have
taken shape and that somebody has given
tangible expression to good wishes in the way
OF the first gift for this noble purpose. W.
| understand that several medical gentlemen il
the city have information on the subject
which is no doubt valuable to the public, and
let us assure them that they shall find wei
come here il they can use these columns in
the way of advancing this great and goot
