Tho following proposition Is left for
the reader 10 think about:
lttherc arc more people IN tho world
than any one person has hairs upon his
head, then thero must eAist at least two
persons who possess idcntically tho
same number Of hairs 10 hair.
This sanc proposition may be applied
TO tho faces Of human beings In tho
world. II the number Of perceptible
differences between two faces be not
greater than tho totnl number Of the
human race, then there must exist at
least two persons who arc TO all ap.
pearances exactly alike. When II Is
considered that there aro about 800.
WO, 600 persons In tho world and that
the human count5nance does not vary.
except within comparatively narrow
limits, the truth Of tho proposition be.
comes obvious, without applying tho
logical reasoning Of it,-Ncw York

KILLING OF THE CABLE BILL.

Ii may be well to place on record
the action of Congress on the Ha-
waiian Cable bill during the last
two or three days OF the session,
for future reference.
In the lower House, on the % of
March, the joint conference COM
mittee on the Diplomatic and Con-
sular Appropriation bill agreed
that the Hawaiian cable proposition
be amended to provide for the pay
ment TO the cable company Of not
more than $4,000 per annum for
fifteen years by the Government,
with the requirement that the Ha-
waiIan Government shall pay also
I sum equivalent to one-third of
that paid by the United States.
On the Sd. Hit Of Illinois sub
mitted the conference report on the
Diplomatic and Consular Appro-
priation bill. Hit stated that the
only subject which had been in dis
pute was the Senate amendment
relative 10 the Hawaiian cable. The
proposition, as IL now stood, re-
dueed the cost from 100000 to
S2,250, 900, and provided that the
Government Of the Hawaiian
Islands should pay one-third as
much as our own. 1t further pro-
vided that the United States could
at any moment take the whole
property on payment of the actual
cost of construction. After q de-
bate, the conference report was re-
jected-yeas Sc, nays 136.
McCreary offered 4 resolution
instrueting the eonferees on the
part of the House 10 insist on dis
agreement TO the Hawaiian Island
cable provision. Agreed to.
On the Sd, at the evening session
the Senate insisted on the Hawaii
an cable amendment to the Diplo-
matte and Consular Appropriation
bill, and agreed 10 ( further con-
ference, Hale Stating that that was
the only matter of dispute.
The conferees on the Diplomatic
Appropriation bull. being unable to
agree, settled the only remaining
point in dispute by striking out the
proposition for a cable between the
United States and HAWAII.
