priations. Fep1rttd bill to provide for

| EVENING SESSION.
There was very small attendance.
Wo ford made an earnest appeal IN
favor of the tariff bill, and pictured the
beneficial results that would follow its
| passage.
| Morrison said the bill was founded on
| the eternal principle of right, and would
| be hailed by future generations as the
| harbinger of freedom in its freest sense.
Storm opposed the bill. 1t was merely
a measure of agitation for the sake oil
| agitation, because the majority on the
Democratic side deSiIed sgitltion. Such
| folly and madness on the eve o. presi-
DENTAL election were incomprehensible
The bill was complete confession OF 10
competence Ga indifference. An incl
dental protection policy had beneficial
fleet upon all the Industries oi the counD
try, and would congress in avtrice and
ignorance commit the folly at killing the
goose which laid the golden eggs.
After speeches by Lawrence IN oDpo-
sitian and Van Eaten In favor of the
bill, the house adjourned.

New Rate sheet

TOPEKA, April 26.-Gt neral Freight
Agent Goddard, of the Atchison, Topeka
l. Santa Fe railway, has been in consul
tatIon with The railroad commissioners
the past four days, and the result wall be
given to the public some time next
week. 1t is more than probable that the
new tariff, as agreed upon, will be about
the same as the rates fixed by the COM
mlssioners from Newton in their decision
upon the complaints. The changes Will
not amount to much, the rates in many
instances being the same, and in others
only slight advance. The whole Will
be very material reduction of the
rates now IN force. President Strong
outlined his policy in having
the rates to and from Kansas City, cast
ing ASIDE the interstate commerce theory
This new tariff, when published, will be
a great relief to The public. l under
stand that as soen as published and al
opted by the Santa Fe the Union Pacl-
fic will Immediately prepare new tarlh
to conform with this. The commission
ers have been somewhat tardy in reach
ing this decision, but they have labored
under difficulties. There are prospects
of perfect harmony between the roads in
the state and the commissioners in theil
Interpretation of the law, and much
| good is anticipated oyer this new state OF

The KAPlOLANl IN DANCER.

About s O'Clock on Sunday even
ing, one Of the Kings boat boys
gave an alarm that the Kapiolani was
sinking, he having noticed that the
scow to which she was made fast
was heeling over. 1t was found that
the Kapiolani had nearly five feet of
water in her, and q gang of men was
set TO work to bail her out. As the
water decreased it was found that
two of the cocks had been turned
on, thus filling the vessel. After
four hours hard work she was en-
ptied and removed alongside the
Kalc where she has since remained
without taking in q drop of water.
This clearly shows that Il deliberate
attempt to sink the Kapiolani was
made by some despicable coward.

ARREST or THOMAS QUIRK.

Chief Crowley received a despatch
yesterday, announcing the expected
news that the bark Henry James,
having on board the harbor defaul-
ter, Thomas Quirk, had arrived from
Honolulu and that the fugitive was
in the custody of the Astoria police.
As there are at least seven indict-
ments against Quirll for forgery and
embezzlcment, returned by the Grand
Jury, Governor Stoncman has signed
the necessary papers for the eXtradi
tion of Quirk. and the next steamer
that sails from this port for Astoria
will take Officer Peckinpah, who will
return Quirll to the scene of his
swindling operations within a week.
1t will be remembered that Quirk,
after he found out that II thorough
investigation of John S. Gray's ac-
counts was to be had, fed suddenly
to Honolulu, to be soon followed by
his wife. She, on the trip down,
fell in love with the mate of the YES
sci. This episode was discovered
by Quirk after the vessel arrived at
Honolulu, and it subsequently led to
the firing of shot by the wrongcd
husband into the tarry Lothario.
Quirk and his now unhappy wife
lived together in the Kanaka town
for some time, but not long ago.
Mrs. Quirk elopcd with the mate,
and together they sailed the ocean
deep till they reached Astoria. Ii
did not take much of Thomas time
to find the route she took, and he
determined upon wrcaking vengeance
upon the destroyer of his happiness,
set sail about one month ago, on
the bark Henry James, bound for
the town in which he was arrested
yesterday. He disguisedilimself as
well as he could and shipped as a
common seaman, but with all his
foresight and precautions he failed
to elude the eyes of one of his old
acquaintanccs, who pointed him out
to the police, -Alta CalJornia.

A CABLE 10 The COAST.

1t has long been conceded that
submarine cable, between Hawaii and
San Francisco, would be a great
boon to this Kingdom. 1t certainly
would be to the newspapers. There
is more prospect, at present, OF our
having q cable than there has been
heretofore. At the Australasian
Inter- Colonial Convention the desi-
rability of increased telegraphic com
munication with England was fully
discussed. The colony of New
South Wales proposed Il line to San
Francisco, via New Caledonia, Fiji
and Honolulu.
The -4lt0 CdIToy2tj0, while adVo
eating the recommendation of New
South Wales and pointing out the
commercial advantages to be derived
therefrom, says: ''ln the remarks
made before the Australasian Con-
vention by Honorable w. B. DALEY,
the Acknowledgement of New South
Wales, he estimated the cost of n
cable between that colony and San
Francisco VIA Honolulu, at 2,0O0,-
600, OF, say S10,000,OO0. This
route was surveyed by the United
States ship Tuscarora, and found to
present no unusual difficulties. In
Australia public works of this cha
racter are often undertaken by the
colonial governments, and it is under
the impression that the colonies in
terested might be induced to sub
scribe to the stock of a cable com
pany in proportion to their popuIa-
ton, that Attorney-General DALEY
segregates the respective amounts rs
follows: Victoria, f4SG, ,054; New
South Wales, f413, ,9S2; South Aus
tralia, f152 ,372; Queensland, fl2O,-
52O; Tasmania, fG3, 143; Western
Australia, f15, ,937; New Zealand,
f2G5, ,9S5; New Caledonia, f117,-
900; Fiji, ESP $50. The Kingdom
of Hawaii would be invited to sub
scribe to the extent of 64,755,
and the United States to an equal
amount. 1t is not likely Congress
would consent, but it would pay tho
Western Union Telegraph Company
well to take this amount of stock, il
consideration of the increased bust
ness it would get. At present the
annual value of the cable business
between Australia and Europe is
f225,5 per year, and that would
pay a six-per-cent, dividend on f2,'
600, 900, after deducting f22, ,OOC
for working expenses, and Ell ,OOC
for transmission of messages from
San Francisco to England. "
