Mr. Stevenson Constable, the reform Supern-
tendcnt of buildings, is determined 10 enforce
the law IN reference to fire-escapes. lie says
that the criminal indifference which has existed
on this subject Is due to the neglect OF the De-
partment of Buildings under its former chief.
Every newspaper reader must have noted the
frequent statement In accounts Of fires that peo-
plc got out with difficulty else lost their lives
because there were Horoscopes on the burned
building Il will take time for superintendent
Constable to bring about complete reform. but
the enforcement of severe penalties In few
cases will put every landlord on his guard Fire
escapes are n necessity on tenement houses, no.
tells, lodglng-houses and the like, and the law re-
curing them should be rgidly enforced.

WARMERS THIRD Party.

Washington, Jan. 11.-General A J,
Warner, president of the BimetaI!ic
league, admitted today that confer
ence of the lea ding bimetallists from
different parts of the, country had
been held in this city recently. 1T
was the decision of the conference. -
he said, that a strong and growing
sentiment is manifesting itself in favor
of uniting the friends of bimetallism
in a bimetallic party and appeal d.
rectly to the people on the money is
sues alone The consideration which
seems to be leading to this result is
the widespread conviction that there
is no hope of restoring the bimetaIlic
STANDARD through the Republican par
ty or through the Democratic party rs
now controlled. and on the other hand,
it is equally impossible to accomplish
this result with in the lines. of the
Populist party or to unite on the
Omaha platform those in favor of re
the bimetallic standard as it
was before 1873"

HAWAIIAN CABLE.
HIT Gives His Reasons Why the
Government Should Control One.

tr0VRrnmont
Washington, Jan. Representative
Hit, recognized as the Republican
leader in the House on foreign affairs,
said today that he fully agreed with the
President that the Hawaiian Islands
should have the benefits of Geographic
communication with the world at large,
but he was strongly opposed to putting
their cable facilities under the control
of any government but the United
States. Hit favors a subsidy for d
Hawaiian cable.
In the Fifty-first Congress. MIR. Hit
offered an amendment to the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
providing for a survey Of a feasible
route for a. cable between Hawaii and
SAN Francisco and for the preliminary
steps toward the organization Of a COM
pany on the grounds of economy the
proposition was defeated by d small
majority, the attendance being limited.
Mr.. Hit is still in favor Of 4 subsidy
for a Hawaiian cable.
The United States, he says, Controls
most of the commerce with tine islands
and should control any cable company
that is to be under government dOrni-
nation. Doubtless Americans would be
free to use the British cable for COM
mercial purposes but 1T is doubtful
whether we would be permitted
to send messages IN cipher and
no treaty arrangements would be prac-
ticable by which this government would
have the privilege of communication for
naval purposes in time of war or other
troubles. Great Britain maintains a
cable between Bermuda. and Nova
Scotia which does not begin to pay for
its maintenance" he said. '"by way of
illustration. Bermuda is q great
stragetical point for a fortress. Amerl-
cans can order onions by that cable,
but Secretary Herbert could not request
one of our ships to put dynamite ON a
British vessel and blow her up in the
event that such a. proceeding was
deemed advisable
This was, of course, said to illustrate
his point. Had there been cable com
munication with the United States, the
complications in Hawaii for the last
two years would have been greatly
simplified and partly averted, Mr.. Hit
said. He declares it to be a doubtful
form of economy to eXpend SIS, 600, 600
annually for the maintenance of a navy
and neglect comparatively small ex-
pedlditures for the control of vessels.
by which they could be effectively
handled and kept under working orders
by the home government.
