PACIFIC CABLE SCHEME,
Action of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent Is Viewed With
Favor.
BUT CONGRESS MUST HURRY.
Local Members of the Pacific Cable
Company Favor the Propo-
Sition.
BUT CONGRESS MUST HURRY

The members of the prospective Pacific
the action of the Hawaiian Government,
as told in dispatch to THE CALL yester-
day morning.
According to this dispatch, the Hawaiian
Government is strongly in favor of cable
connection with the outside world.
The local members of the Pacific Cable
Company think this action on the part of
the Hawaiian Government will have the
effect of fastening Congress to grant a
franchise to a United States corporation,
and also provide subsidy for the con-
struction of the ong-contemplated cable.
They are: Hugh Craig, General w. H.
Dimond, George P. McNear, E. T. Allen,
L. Parrot, E. B. Pond, M. Bishop, w. ].
Adams and Colonel Taylor.
General Dimond said yesterday: II think
the action of the Hawaiian Government
will have beneficial effect on the scheme.
The bill providing for the franchise of our
company was passed by one House before
the adjournment of Congress, but it was
killed in the other. Something like this is
needed to awaken our Government to
full realizing sense of the i'm portance of
Pacific cable. France and England are
only waiting for the slightest opportunity
to take advantage of Hawaii's isolation
and get in on a cable telegraph construction
scheme. / think Congress will appreciate
the Importance of immediate and decisive
action and we may look for something
definite before that body has been long in
session."
Eyes, indeed. we may view the attitude
of the Hawaiian Government with much
co. ~,
attention was called to the dispatch from
the islands. Congress cannot fail to COM
prehend the importance OF having an
American company lay that cable. The
other powers are only too anxious to CO.
operate with the Hawaiian Government in
the construction of Pacific cable, and the
time to act is at hand.
''The fact that France and England have
their eyes on the islands was emphatically
demonstrated some time ago, when Aud
ley Cootes came over from Australia. He
laid the New Caledonia cable. 1t was
claimed by him that he represented three
cable companies.
"He remained in Honolulu some time,
but was unsuccessful in securing a conces-
sion from the Hawaiian Government. He
wanted an exclusive concession. The Ha-
waiian Government held off for the reason
that it looks to an ultimate annexation
with the United States. l have received
several communications on the subject
from England and [ am convinced France
cannot compete with the electrical COM
panies of that country or this in laying
cables. 1t will cost several million dollars
to lay the cable, but the United States can
not afford to allow any other country to
control the Geographic communication of
the Pacific. After we once lay the cable to
the islands then we could go to Japan and
Russia and afterward to Australia and
New Zealand. There is no doubt that an
American company would receive every
support and the heartiest cooperation of
the first two countries mentioned"

BUSY MORGUE OFFICIALS.
A Suicide, Accidental Death and Two
Inquests in One Day.


Inquests in One Day.
d. Beige, young man about q years
old, shot himself in the Osborne House
yesterday. He was evidently hard up and
respondent. and spent the last few cents
he had in the world in paying for his room
and buying the cartridges that loaded his
revolver. He spent part of the evening at
the Bella Union Theater, which is under
the Osborne House, and then went up
stairs and wrote the following note:
Inquire of me at 1926 Union street am
tired of living, so good-by, dear brother Louis.
Beige shot himself through the brain.
A baby, IL months old, died in convul-
sions before a doctor could be called yes
terday morning. Its name was Lizzie c.
Jasperson and the parents lived at S25ll
Alabama street. The body was not taken
to the Morgue, as DR.. Hawkins came to
the conclusion that death was due to ma
tural causes.
An inquest was held on the remains of
Mabel c. Kent and Thomas Wood. The
latter shot the young woman through the
heart on the corner of Elgin Park avenue
and Ridley street on the 18th inst, and
then killed himself. The jury returned
verdict of suicide in the case of Wood and
murdered by 7. Wood" in the case of
Miss Kent The testimony of t. w. Kent,
a brother of the murdered girl, went to
show that on number of occasions Wood
had threatened to kill his sister.

salvation Army's efforts in similar lines in the
past, am inclined to think they would make
success of it.
So far as understand Ensign McFee,s propo-
sition--and must admit that have not very
clear idea of tit is simply return to the
land, came from James II. Barry of the Star.
And II It is. it has my most cordial indorse-
ment. believe the Salvation Army is doing
all 1t can for the unemployed. And / would
be glad to see them experiment with what
consider the true solution of this most grievous
problem.
Mr.. Dohrmann of the firm of Nathan g.
Dohrmann said:
l am an ardent adnirer of the Salvation
Army and its methods; or, rather, the results
OF its methods. We have often had occasion
to apply to Ensign MeFee for assistance in
helping deserving cases. and we always found
that sect, or nationality excluded no one from
getting help. We're the applicants needy? was
the question with the army. And if they were
aid was forthcoming at once.
Congressman James G. Mcguire found
time to say:
The scheme is as old as man himself. being
created in the mind of God Almighty. and
must therefore succeed. l shall expect the
salvation Army to properly apply it and shall
watch with interest the success which feel
confident will attend their efforts.
Captain Mcdonald, capitalist, said:
By all means give the Salvation Army a
chance to try what they can do in this matter.
1t has the advantage of being organized for
just such work, and besides it comes in closer
contact with the destitute masses than
any organization know of. Then its record in
the City for some time past has been such as to
command the confidence of those who have the
interests of suffering humanity at heart.
United States Surveyor General Green
said:
Quote me as saying that consider the Sal
vation Army able TO put into practice what has
been my 'pet theory" for years.

the last speaker, is so willing to back his
confidence in the project that he has Of

ing of the Christopher Columbus by the
fact that on board, as sub-lieutenant, is
the Duke degli Abruzzi, one of the richest
and most popular of Italian royalties. He
is the second son of Prince Amadeo,
brother of the King of Italy and ex-King
of Spain. Amadeo was married twice,
first to Princess della Cisterna, the mother
of the young sub-lieutenant, and secondly
to the Princess Letitia of Savoy, his niece,
a young Princess whose scorn for etiquette
is sore trial to her august relatives, and
who Is now one of the most fascinating
young widows in Europe.
The Princess della Cisterna, who shared
the throne of Spain with Amadeo, was
great heiress, and all her three sons have
large fortunes from the maternal side of
the house. Amadeo was not overwhelmed
with brains, people said, and as proof they
pointed to the fact that he quietly aban-
doned the throne of Spain on the first
threat of an instruction. People who
knew him well, however, always said that
the Italian Prince, who was one of the
kindest-hearted men alive, could not bear
to see Spanish blood shed in defending his
alien rights. He had been called to the
throne, and when he found that large
number of the Spanish people were OPP
posed to his remaining there he thought
his highest duty to the country was to
retire.
His abdication proved the goodness of
Amadeus heart, though many Italians who
remem bered the warlike character of his
father, Victor Emanuel, despised him for
not being more of soldier After his
resignation he lived peacefully in Italy
till five and a half years ago, when he was
carried off by the first epidemic of the
grip.
Whatever may have been the opinion of
Prince Amadeo's mental capacity, there is
no doubt about his sons being excep-

distributed the thousands of dollars en-

press of this city has always lent us its as
sistance when called upon to do So"
Mayor Sutro, when asked his opinion as
to the FEASIBILITY of the scheme and the
wisdom of granting the army its request,
replied:
The scheme has proved successful elsewhere,
and the very fact OF the Salvation Army taking
it in hand ensures its success here. have UNI

the people OF this State will gladly help the

Mayor Ellert, ~ would indorse any of
their schemes upon general principles l
can truthfully say that when | was in
Office I regarded Ensign McFee as a valu
able man in helping US Wrestle with the
most provoking local problems. His re-
markable sagacity saved the City from
bloodshed and riot, while his clearheaded-
ness piloted us out of difficulties in which,
| am free to confess, we were hopelessly
lost. / not only wish him success, but
shall assist him by every means in my
power. And the people of California will

Chief OF Police Crowley said:
have often said that if we had more Saliva
tionists in the City we would get along with
fewer police officers. And the more / come in
contact with this earnest body of Christian
workers the more I am strengthened in this
opinion. | am glad that Ensign McFee has
taken hold OF this matter, for l am convinced
that he viii carry it TO successful issue.
Taylor Rogers, Mayor Sutro's private
secretary. gave the scheme his indorse-
ment in the following words:
Should the state furnish the honest unem-.
ployed with work SO as to provide them liv-
ing?
If should for these reasons:
First-It tends to reduce the number of posi-
Bile inmates liable for the almshouse hospi-
tails prisons and asylums.
Second-In idleness one is a consumer: in
industry he adds to the general wealth-esti-
mate product OF each laborer being $1,000
year.
Third-But to my mind the true philosophy
is this: There is an implied contract between
every citizen and the state. The latter has
the right to demand the use OF his time for
public duties, to take his property for taxation,
p nd in war to sacrifice his life. When the ex-
isteuee of the state is involved, all the rights
of the citizen are used for its defense. Now.
since the citizen yields these rights, the state
i'm turn owes him equivalent duties. These in

tion Army but the state in what believe will

Mr.. McGlynn, president of the Federated

dorse the scheme on the ground of not
knowing its plans. He said:
