A CABLE ROUTE.
The Steamer AlbatrOss Returns
From Her Work.
How the Proposed Scheme Is Regarded at
Honolulu-Depth Of the Ocean at Diff
ferent Points.

The United States surveying steamer
Albatross arrived in port yesterday morning
from Honolulu. The vessel left here No
yember 4lh to take up and complete the
work already begun of surveying and select
ing route from the coast of California to
the Hawaiian Islands for proposed ocean
cable. The method of taking the deep-sea
soundings and description of the apparatus
used was given in THE CALL when the
steamer returned from the preliminary
work Of the survey. The officers expert
enced excellent weather all the way to the
Islands, and the surveying of the proposed
route was most successfully carried out.
The deepest sounding was taken in latitude
80 "a north, longitude 1869 a. west, when
the big iron sinker reached bottom after
3lS5 fathOms or 1910 feet of sounding wire
had been run of the reel.
when the steamer first started on the
work she took her departure from the bay
OF Monterey aud worked out a distance of
go miles besides locating a suitable landing
Tor the shore end Of the cable She then
returned to this city, and, after taking on q
supply or coal and stores, again put to sea,
taking up the work where it had been
dropped, and reached Honolulu on Novem-
Der 2lst. The work of finding safe place
to land the cable on the island of Oahu was
llth, and the next day the AlbatrOss started
on her return to California. Soundings were
also taken on the return trip, along
a course slightly to the southwark Of that
taken going out, but no material differences
in the soundings were found. Owing to her
supply OF coal running short the steamer
had TO drop the work before it was finished
and come TO this city in order to fill her
bunkers. She will coal as soon as possible
and expects to get away again by next
"Wednesday to complete the work. which
Will take about two weeks.
The officers state that the people at the
Islands are not very much excited at the
prospect OF speedy Geographic communica-
ton with the rest of the world ana seem TO
think that most of the benefits to be de-
rived from the cable will fall to the United
States.
The United States cruiser Pensacola was
in Honolulu when the AlbatrOss arrived
there, and the Charleston arrived from
Japan soon after. Every one on board both
ships were reported WELL The Pensacola
will remain at the islands until after the !
election, which takes place in February. |
after which she expects to be ordered home |

Thomas Maxwell of Austin, Tex, and
Miss Belle Taylor of Green Bay, Wis, will
not exchange Christmas presents this year,

Miss Taylor landed in Chicago on a re-
cent morning. Where they met is not
known, but at noon the big policeman who
guards the ladies waiting-TOOm at the Mil
wauke and ST Paul depot observed a
woman OF uncertain age sitting all by her
self in corner. She was weeping hysteri-
cally. She con aided TO the officer that she
had been the victim OF gross deception.

The Supreme Court Says North
Oakland Is no Part Of oakland.

North oakland. so the Supreme Court de-
cided yesterday, is not part of the city of
Oakland. The court affirmed the decision
of the Superior Court of Alameda County,
which declared that the annexation of North
Oakland to the city proper is illegal.
The court decided that the proceedings
for annexation were regular and accord
ing to law, but mistake was made
in the adoption of the new charter, which
was drawn on the old boundary lines OF the
city of Oakland.
The election on the annexation was law
ful. but the election on the new charter
took place ten days later; and the new
boundaries were not prescribed in the new
charter; that charter was adopted The
annexation proceedings were annulled.
