HIT FAVORS THE CABLE.
Hawaii Should Have Communication
With the World.
1t Is Poor Policy to Build a Navy and
Not Be Able to Control It
Movements.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Representativ
Hit, who is recognized as the Rel ublican
leader In the House on foreign affairs. said
to-day he fully agreed with the President
that the Hawaiian Islands should have
the benefits of telegraphic communication
with the world at large. but was strongly
opposed to putting their cable facilities
under control of any Government but the
United States.
In the Fifty-frst Congress Mr.. Hit
offered an amendment to the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill providing
for a survey of feasible route for cable
between Hawaii and San Francisco and
for the preliminary steps toward the or
ganization of a company. On the grounds
OF economy the proposition was de-
feated by small majority, the attendance
being limited.
MIR. Hit is still in favor of a subsidy for
an Hawaiian cable. The UnitediStates. he
says, controls most of the commerce with
the islands and should control any cable
company that is to be under Government
domino alton. Doubtless Americans would
be free to use the British cable for COM
mercial purposes. but 1t Is doubtful
whether they would be permitted to send
messages in cipher, and no treaty ar
rangements would be practicable 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 a
great strategical point for a fortress.
Americans can order onions by that ca BILE.
but Secretary Herbert could not request
an American ship 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 communi-
cation with the United States the compll-
cations in Hawaii for the last two years
would have been greatly simplifed and
partly averted, Mr.. Hit said. He de-
clares it to be doubtful form Of economy

maintenance of a navy and neglect COM

troll of vessels, by which they could be

FUR SEALS EXTINCT.
Startling Statement Made by the
Governor of Alaska,

VI AtdShds
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Some interest
ing facts in regard 10 the Alaskan seal
fisheries were stated to the House Com
mittee on Territories by Governor Sneak
ley of Alaska to-day. The Governor de-
clares that the seals are practically extinct
and will be entirely so within shor. time.
Although the Government authorized the
killing of $4,000 last year by the fur CON-
pbny they could find but 1900 for the
market. He said that no less than 80, 600
pups had died because their mothers were
killed by poachers. Poaching is largely
carried on, he said, Notwithstanding re-
cent legislation.
Temperance people would find a field
for their work in Alaska also. according to
the Governor, who asserted that while the
Territory was prohibition by law it was
free whisky in practice. Traders had only
to secure a certificate from the Commits
sioner of internal Revenue to carry on
their business. The Governor recon-
mended the substitution of license sys-
tenn for the prohibitory law. or else author
ity to enforce he latter. He deprecated
the establishment of a Territorial govern
ment for Alaska, but asked that the Gov
eminent give authority to appoint CON-
missiOners for the courts in remote settle
ments, and desired improved mail facilities
up the Yukon River. where the mail is
now carried but once year.

MEN FOR THE NAVY.
Congress Urged to Attend to This
Matter at Once.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-An increase in
the force CT enlisted men in the navy is
conceded one Of the most pressing needs
of that service at the present time. The
cruiser Mohican, at Mare Island Navy
yard, has been reported entirely ready for
active service at sea, but she canDot be
put in commission for the very good rea-
son that there are no available sailors at
the disposal of the department for that
purpose. The unemployed contingent OF
enlisted men was exhausted In the detail
for the cruiser Olympia. There were only
men enough for one shin. and it was de-
cided to commission the Olympia in prefer
ence to the Mohican.
The cruiser Boston, which has gained
worldwide reputation through her con-
neciion with the revolution in Hawaii, il in
almost the same condition as the Mohican.
She is in complete repair and awaits only
crew in order to be transferred 10 the ac-
tive list. She will probably be put in
commission before her older consort. it
having been determined to man her with
the crew of the flagship Chicago as soon as
that vessel returns to New York from
the European station and Is put
out of commission to receive extensive
repairs to her machinery, intended to
materially increase her speed power 1t
will be several weeks, however, before the
department can utilize the crew of the
Chicago, as that vessel will not start for
home until she is relieved OF duty in the
Mediterranean by the new flagship Of that
station. the San Francisco, which has not
yet started on her Journey across the
Atlantic. She is now completing her outfit
at Newport. and will probably start for
Europe in few days.
Another vessel that could be utilized for
active service if there were men 10 man
her Is the battle-ship Maine, now at New
York. From present indications 1t will be
a long time before she can be placed in
commission. The additional number of
men required to properly man the new
ships is 1000, and Congress has been re-
peatedly urged to authorize such an in-
crease. This number is based on the
actual necessities of the service in the
event that the department puts all of its
new ships in commission. In view. how
ever, OF the uncertainty of favorable legis-
lation by Congress on the bill now befo re
it, it has been suggested that the Depart
ment leduce it's requisition to 1000 or even

SUICIDE OF A STRANGER
Mystery Connected With a Body
Found Floating.
An Unidentified Man Goes to SauSaIitO,
Sheets Himself in the Head and
Falls in the Water.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 1.-THE body OF an
unknown man with a bullet hole In the
center Of his forehead was found floating
in the bay eff Old Sausallto to-day by
three fishermen. The corpse was taken
to Sausalto and Coroner Eden notified,
who took charge of the remains and held
an Inquest.
The deceased was about so years old,
had rather fine features, straight nose.
brown hair and long brown beard mixed
with gray. He was partly bald on top of
his head. He possessed fine set Of teeth
with the exception that one on the left
side of the upper jaw is broken off. His
height was Ieet 8 inches, and he weighed
100 pounds.
The body was clad in white flannel
underwear, dark gray flannel socks and
No. elastic CATERS. The deceased had q
irock coat, diagonal vest. black trousers
ard a striped calico overshirt. Twenty
five cents in silver was found on the body.
The jury brought in verdict of suicide.
1t is supposed that the deceased chose
some spot over the water TO discharge the
bullet into his brain. and. being uncon-
scious when he struck the water, his body
floated.
Constable Creed of Sausalito, recog-
niZed the corpse as that of man he had
seen come off the ferry-boat early that
morning. The remains lie at the Morgue
at San Rafael, awaiting iden tifcatioD.
The foghorn-keeper at Lime Point saw
the man and heard the shot. He also saw
two young men near by and thought at
first they had done the killing. No pistol
was found in the vicinity of the place
where the dead man was found.
