PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.
Experiments Which Give Very Sat
isfaetOrY Results.

DULUTH (Minn.,) Feb. NV. w.
Lowd, a train dispatcher of the
Northern Pacific Railway, today
gave a successful exhibition of his
invention for transmitting pictures
by telegraph. The test was made in
the presence Of a number of railroad
officials. A rough drawing was
made OF house. Owing to an error
in arranging the mechanism the first
attempt was only partly successful,
but at a repetition the house was
accurately reproduced at the other
end or the wire.
II The second picture sent over the
wire, a distance OF only a few
hundred feet, was that of q boy and
the reproduction was exact. Later
showed that the finest
details can be transmitted, even TO
the shading of the features of per-
BOD, smile or scowl. A cut was sent
over the wire showing the collision
the Elbe and Crathie. Mr..
Lowd now has his device In tie
Patent Office, and until the patent is
secured he does not intend to explain
the methods of his invention.

THE Samoan question bids fair
to come to the front in American
politics with renewed force in con-
sequence of highlands disposition
to advance its interests in the ISL
ands. The San Francisco Chroni-
Gle says of Sir Edward Gray's an
swer to Government queries: "Sir
Edward denied that Germany con-
templated annexing Samoa, and
he also informed the inquisitive
that the United States has not in
timated its intention of abandon
ing its exclusive claim to Pago-
Pago as a coaling station. The
brevity of the cable dispatches
makes it difficult to divine the
object of these queries, but they
suggest the idea that a more active
interest is taken by the British in
the affairs of Samoa than Amer
leans snow, and that there 10 some
grounds for the suspicious that
Overtures have been made to the
United States by Great Britain |
and Germany to induce this coun-
try to abaLdon its claim to Pago-
Pago. The publication of the dis
patch will probably cause some
Senator, to introduce a resolution
o. inquiry regarding the State De-
Pqrtment's dealings with Samoa,
and this will perhaps draw out the
fact that Gresham Las been trying
t. please Great Britain by assur-
is'y it that we don't value Samoa
or the coaling privileges of Pago-

GOLD COMFORT FROM CONGRESS.

The advices fom the Coast pub
hshed this morning are of sufici-
emily late date that, unless the
Fifty-third Congress underwent a
strange and unprecedented change
Of heart in its dying days, the fate
Of the measures in which this
country is directly interested can
be forecast with a reasonable de-
gree of certainty. The Nicaragua
Canal bill is irrevocably side
tracked and the United States
stands good chance of reckoning
this measure among the lost oppor-
tunities should England sees fit to
take the Initiative and refuse
to subject its interests to the sweet
cratic will of Legislators who will
not take action themselves, and at
the same time endeavor to pre-
vent other nations from gaining
any advantage.
The cable question is fortunate
in being tackled on the Diplomatic
and Consul bill which puts the
matter In such a position that it
cannot "die for want of breath" but
must be killed, if such is to be its
fate, by duly recorded votes of the
members of the House. While
there ia a possible chance of the
Senate amendment being accepted
by a narrow margin, the advices
indicate that it was on the verge OF
defeat. The enemies of the meas
ure have used the bill to incor.
porate private international cable
company, against the Government
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-03-06

assuming control of the work
which private capitalists are ready
to carry forward. At the came
time there is no possible hope OF the
corporation receiving what 1t has
asked. An unalloyed dog-in-the-
manger policy seems very prob
able result. As much as the United
States processes to be hostile to
England's gaining a hold In this
country even TO the extent OF land
ing a cable on our territory it must
sooner or later come to the realiza-
ton that all nations of the world
will not jeapordize the necessities
consequence to the increased I'M
portance of the commerce OF the
Pacific simply because representa-
tives of the American people can
not come to a decision whether the
Government or private corpora
ton shall lay and control the Ha-
waiian cable There is time when
patience ceases to be virtue, not
withstanding the men elected to
the Fifty-fourth Congress promise
to do better than their predecessors.
Promises don't lay cables. There
is cold comfort in the action of
Congress up to date, for those anx=
ious to extend American interests
on the Pacific ocean.
There is not a shadow OF doubt
that the spirit of the American
people is strongly in favor of the
construction of Pacific cable con-
trolled by their Government. 1t
now remains to be seen whether
their newly elected representatives
will appreciate this sufficiently to
act promptly in inaugurating
policy that has view to something
beyond the passing day or hour.

WEDNESDAY,

IT WILL be a good many years
before negroes Of the Southern
States will have such an able rep
resentative of their cause as Fred
erick Douglass. Possessed OF
broader intellectual capacity than
tho general run of his people, hr.
Douglass was at the same time a
living example of what education
will do for the negro and an I'M
questioned proof that, given ordi-
nary educational advantages the
blacks will make as law abiding
and desirable citizens of America
as the average foreigner that comes
into the country. There is but one
solution to the race problem OF the
South and when the Southern
whites overcome prejudices and
allow children, irrespective OF race
or color, the same opportunities as
their own they will be free from
many of the perplexing problems
now confronting them. Frederick
Douglass, as an arduous supporter
of these principles will always be
given an undyiHg prominence in
the history of the United States.

sold to three-fourths of the

The reason so many newly
painted houses in Honolulu
look so well, is because
Hendry's Ready Mixed Paints
are being used.
We have these made cspec-
tally for this trade, because the
climate is so severe on wood
en- houses that ordinary paints
will not last any time. The
pigment used in our paints is
the very finest, and we have in
addition to this a certain guam
tity of white zinc and Japan
added. 1t is this combination
that makes the paint retain
color and gloss longer than the
average ready mixed. paints, or
even white lead and oil that are
mixed "while you wait"

wishing to do honor to their distinguished

named the club. In a few weeks the

As was stated in this column not long
ago, Brooklyn is no longer the City of
Churches. Philadelphia now lays claim
to that distinction. Besides. in proper,
ton to the population. both chicago and
Baltimore pass Brooklyn. With pop.
ulation of about million the city of
Brooklyn has about $40 churches-though
there are 1000 saloons. Chicago has a
population of million and half, with
525 churches. New York, with nearly
two million people, has but 522 churches
Philadelphia. with its million and a
quarter inhabitants, has 62S churches ,,@
and Baltimore with half million. souls
has us houses of worship. In all these
cities. excepting one. the Methodists are
at the front in the number OF churcnes.
New York is the exception. where the
Episcopaians come first, the Catholics
second the Presbyterians third, and the
Mcthodlgts fourth. II may also be in
teresting to note in this connection some
other figures. There are altogether 100
GOO churches in the United States,
