Must See Uncle sam First.

london, Jan. 1O.--The Post commenting
editorially OH the Hawaii cable scheme.
says it considers that Il Pacific cable might
have been laid by the same contrtvanre as
the six Atlantic cables and thus have
avoided the Hawaii difficulty. The pro-
posal for a landing station at Hawaii
seems to be at variance with the stipu-
lations that the cable should be free from
foreign control. Lord Gosebery committed
an absurd mistake in sending an imperial
commissioner to obtain lease of Hawaiian
territory He ought to have known that it
could not be granted without first asking
the consent of the United States. VI there
is anything in the French objection the
cabinet ought to move quickly. as there is
no chance of two Pacific cables succeeding.
