FROM NE W YORK TOLONDON
a Telegraph Rate of Six Cents a
Word Is One of the Coming
Possibilities.

A question of long-distance sub
marine telephone cables is one
which has of late attracted much
attention. The idea that a mer-
chant in New York could converse
directly with his correspondent in
London is a captivating one, es-
pecially as questions could be
asked on both sides and explana-
tions given to degree not possible
in practice with telegrasadra"~tn-.-o
That the time, y, left tpny.
when this wai1ukwill shortly arrive
ions spend !sn be done is the opin-
the 81 some of the foremost electrical
engineers of the day. An author
ity of such weight as w. III. Preece,
the electrician in chief of the Eng
lish Postal Telegraph service, has
already expressed his belief in its
feasibility, and Professor Silvanus
Thompson now conceeds that ocean
telephony is possible. He says:
'The means for attaining it are with
in our grasp. Compensated cables OF
the new type are entirely practi-
cable. 1t may be needful to begin
with some shorter line than an At
lantic cable, in order to gain eXpe-
rience. But an Atlantic cable con-
structed on the new plan will not
cost much more when laid than
one of the old type, and whether or
not it is successful in conveying
telephone speech, it will certainly
transmit Geographic messages at a
greatly accelerated speed of signal
ing. If one Atlantic cable can be
constructed to do the work now re-
curing eight cables that cable will
be constructed. Acceleration of
ocean telegraph service is in itself
n desirable step in advance, but
the advance will not be complete
until telephone speech is trans
mitted also from shore to shore"
Should such q cable be laid and
difficulties in telephoning over it
arise, it would still be possible to
use it for high-speed automatic
Geographic work, at the rate, prob
ably, of 400 words a minute. On
this basis the present daily aver
age number of words sent over a
cable, which is put at 1000, could
be transmitted in about twenty
consecutive minutes. The natural
consequence of this increased faci-
lily would be an increase In the
volume of traffic and reduction
of the tariff, and it is quite posi-

Il CALL FROM PAIA.
DR.. BeckHifH Invited to Assume
Charge of Mr. CuIicE's
Former Flock.

Some days ago the Rev. z. G..
Beckwith, pastor of the Central
Union church, received a call from
the church at Paia, Maui, inviting
him to accept the pastorate of that
congregation. Mr.. Beckwith has
the call under consideration, and
there is every likelihood of it's
being accepted,
" DR.. Beckwith's chief reason for
considering the acceptance of the
call is his own sense of his adj
vancing age" said a prominent
member of the church yesterday.
" The congregation, as a whole, do
not wish to lose him, but, if he in
slsts, of course we have no alterna-
tive but to let him go. He has served
his church and congregation in a
manner highly satisfactory to both
during the time that he has been
connected with the church, and his
loss from Honolulu will be much
regretted"
Who will fill the passionate, if DR..
Beckwith leaves, could not be as
certained. Several have spoken of
the Rev. Serene Bishop as the next
incumbent, but that gentleman
said, when asked if he had heard
of such rumor, that he had not,
and that he could not think of &C.
cepting such position, even were
it offered him.

Take a piece of wire, Il coil
will do and stretch it in build
ing a fence; it's not hard to
calculate the tension you put
upon it, but whether you get
the exact number of pounds
or not, you know it is enough
to put the wire tight enough
for all practical purposes. If
it breaks while you are
stretching it, you conclude at
once that it is of inferior
quality. Take a coil of our
wire and stretch it and stretch
it, put your mules or your
oxen on it and see if it will
break. Coil it around your
posts and see if there is a sim
gle rough place on it after
you have bent into every con-
ceivable shape. In the Homo
lulu Iron Works, our wire was
put to a test for tensile
strength and it registered
1920 pounds. Take this good
wire and build a locked fence
with it and you have some
thing that will last forever.
The rainy weather creates a
demand for steel wire and

enough to select from and we

Our plain cocoa mats are

How to Hang Bananas.

while standing in front of a stand

so in the east the punches are not
held up by the stem but from the

fruit to retain It's natural form and
for some peculiar reason they keep
longer. I notice here that the
punches of bananas soon decay
and present very unsightly ap-
pearance. Just get the fruit men

1t is needless to discuss the very
exceptional conditions which have
continued these relations between
natives and whites in Hawaii for
the past half century. Universal
experience elsewhere plainly indi-
Gates that such a relation is abnor-
NAL and impossible to be perpetu-
ated. The local experience in
Hawaii is that, in spite of the most
friendly and tolerant efforts on the
part of the whites for many years,
the friction became too great for the
weaker race to be permitted any
longer to govern or seem to govern
the stronger one. 1t was by the in
evItable logic of affairs that the
Hawaiian monarchy came to its
end. The end must soon have come
n the nature of the case. Docility,
prudence, integrity of purpose on
he part of the native rulers might
ave postponed for few years the
Inevitable result. 1t was precipi-

may be informed that, as far back
as nine years ago, when DR.. Trous-

was in doubt enough to make him
non-committal. He would only

Good Rural School.

The Government school at Kalua-
aha, Molokai, is one of the most
isolated institutions of civilization
in these islands. Yet it gave one of
the most brilliant exhibitions at the
terminal closing of all the schools
in the group. Mr.. G.. L. Edwards,
principal, had the program printed
in gold and colors at the BULLETIN
job Office, and it was an elaborate
bill Of 35 numbers. There was a
roll of 80 pupils, most of whom
participated. The Inspector General
did not manage to reach the Kalua-
aha school on his latest tour, conse-
quently Mr.. Edwards brought his
examination papers to town. An in
spection of these proves that the
work done compares favorably with
the best done in the city schools.
One particularly noticeable feature
is the proficiency in English attained
by the young Molokai native. The
assistant teachers are F. H. Kauwahi
and Miss Julia Haiku.

Mckinley of Ohio, author of the

Parliament, when he returned from
an official visit to London recently,
