OF UeD9te.
Washington, Feb 12. - By the de-
cisive vote Of 80 to 25 the senate voted
to inaugurate the project Of laying a
cable from the Pacific coast to Hawaii
An amendment to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill was mad,
giving $5OO,O00 for beginning work on
the cable and authorizing the presi.
dent to contract for the entire work,
estimated to cost $3,OOO.OO0. This was
the first practical result coming from
the intermittent Hawaiian debate,
lasting more than year, and renewed
with intensity the past week In con-
nect1on with the proposed cable. The
debate OF the last few days has shown
that the lines Of division were practi-
cally the same as those heretofore ex-
listing on all issues over Hawaii. the
Republican senators urging closer re-
lationship by cable and ultimately by
annexation. the Democratic senators
10 q rule contending against the cable
or other entangling alliances with Fla
wall. But this party division had
notable exceptions during the debate
and was emphasized in the final vote.
Six Democratic senators-NIorgan.
German, Hill, Butler, Call and White
voted with the twenty-eight Repnh-
licans and three Populists. constituting
the majority, for the cable. One Re.
publican senator - Pettlgrew - and
twenty -four Democrats voted against
the cable. All absent Republicans and
two Populists were paired for tho
proposition.
The house In committee Of the whole,
BY . vote Of 124 to 50. voted to place
Individual clerks Of members on the
annual salary roll at the rate Of S1OO
per nlenth. These clerks now get 500
ptf month during the session of the
house. The annual attempt to strike
out the appropriation for the civil
service commission was made, but did
not assume serous phase, and was
defeated-32 to 20.
