not to be construed, however, as con
hicting with any rights the govern
ment of the United States may possess
by virtue of any existing treaty.
8. The Government to allow all
material necessary for the construc-
tion, equipment and maintenance of
such cable or cables to be imported
into the Republic free of duty and
other government charges.
4. The Government to allow the free
use, during such term, of sufficient
government land, to be designated by
the Government, upon which to erect
buildings, stations, etc, and for stor-
age purposes, which may be necessary
for the purposes of the company and
also the right to land and right OF way
across such government land as may
be as the point of landing any such
cables or across which the land lines
connecting such cables shall pass, and
also to allow me the other privileges
enumerated in the Cable Act now be
fore the Legislature.
3. If the construction of the cable
agreed to be laid shall not be COM
menced within eighteen months from
the said 3lst day of October, 1895, or if
the two cable systems agreed to be
constructed shall not be in full work
ing order within eighteen months
thereafter, the Government to have
the right at the expiration of such
term, or of such further eighteen
months, and at any time thereafter,
while default continues to terminate
and cancel the contract by reason of
the failure to comply with such con-
dition or conditions.
The general plan for carrying out
the cable scheme is the organization
of an American company to control
and manage the same in the United
States, and to organize a company in
Honolulu to control and manage the
inter island lines. The United States
Government will be asked to lend its
AID and assistance by means of sub
sidy or guarantee, and any arrange
ment made will be with the full APP
proval and sanction Of such Govern
ment. 1t will be time enough to look
to other governments for aid when the
United States Government shall have
refused or failed to take the matter
up, and this Government shall con-
sent with such other government. IT
IS perhaps unnecessary to say that no
political or extraneous questions enter
into the project. The amount of
money required for the construction
and laying of the different cables,
with necessary connections and land
lines, cable repair ships, together with
sufficient working capital to insure
efficient service and provide for the
maintenance of the lines, is estimated
at over four millions of dollars. AS a
business proposition it is quite plain
that the work should be done and the
money be raised in the cheapest mar
kets. But, L am prepared TO accept
offers from any part of the world
based upon conditions of equality.
The main point in view is to establish
cable communication between Hawaii
and the outer world upon favorable
terms 9Oitb the least possible deLog.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
]. Mcdonald Thrown From a Brake
and Badly Injured

While J. Mcdonald, stableman
for Wilder & Co., was driving
spirited and partially broken mare
last night an accident occurred
which resulted in severe injuries
to both man and beast When
passing near the corner Of Fort and
Hotel streets between 6 and o'clock
the animal took fright at horse
man riding rapidly by and ran
away. Mcdonald was thrown out
backwards and the mare, slipping
ran against the sidewalk, injuring
her left leg quite badly. Getting
up quickly, she ran down Fort
street and was caught outside the
stable yard on Queen street. Nc
Donald was considerably shaken
up and badly bruised. While
speaking to some friends after the
accident, he said it was the first
time he had put a straight bit on
the mare. His strength was made
quate to hold her.

ed Thursday afternoon. What the
Executive thinks of this proposition
was talked over in an Executive
caucus of the Senate yesterday af-
ternoon. Representatives of the
press were carefully excluded. Col.
Spalding's position is clearly defin-
ed as follows:
For several months past have been
engaged in procuring facts and figures
concerning both an Inter Island and a
Honolulu California cable. AS a re-
suit have now in my possession, fur
nished by an eminent cable engineer
of London, full detailed specifications
of the size, character, materials, and
method OF construction of an Inter ISL
and cable from Kauai to Hawaii and
also cable from Honolulu to some
point in California.
I have also full figures from the Tel
egTaph Construction and Maintenance
Company, Limited, the largest cable
construction company in existence, of
the cost of constructing, laying and
equipping both the Inter Island and
California lines, and of a cable repair
ship. l have also made conditional
1OI SGCuIInS CIl LlOHSJ
necessary TO construct, lay and equip
such lines and ship.
The conditions upon which such fin
ancial arrangements can be completed
are the securing of a certain amount
of subsidy or guaranty from the gov
ernments interested, as it is manifest
that for some time, at least, the enter
prise can not be eself-supporting. 1 am
therefore provided with all of the nee
essary preliminary information, both
technical and financial, necessary to
proceed INN ediately with the work,
except the knowledge of what subsidy
can be depended upon from the gov
ernments interested.
1 do not wish to propose that the
Hawaiian Government shall do any
thing more to assist this enterprise
than is plainly and directly for its in
terests, and [ have submitted the fol-
lowing proposition as one, which Will,
if carried out, enable me to proceed
with the undertaking; commit the
Government to no risk; require from
it only q reasonable subsidy, and give
full guarantees for the maintenance
and efficiency of the cable.
propose the following general terms
to be Incorporated in a contract be
tween the Government and myself.
First. l will bear all expense al
ready incurred by me in securing the
information above described, and also
all further expense of a similar char
acter which may be necessary,
Second. I will undertake, without
expense TO the Government, to negoti-
ate all contracts with other govern
ments, engineers, cable ard ship con-
structOrs, financial agents, and bear
all other expenses whatsoever, which
may be necessary TO carry out this
nterprisa.

| cult. If such interruption shall con-
/ tinue on either circuit for one year
after such 80 days the Govern
ment to have the right to cancel the
contract in so far as it relates to that
| circuit.
Seventh. The Government to have
the right to use both such systems for
the transmission of Government mes
sages, free Of charge, up to $4,000 per
annum, reckoning at the regular rates
charged.
Eighth. A maximum scale of
charges over such inter-island system
to be agreed upon and to be inserted
in the contract. The scale of charges
over the California-Honolu line to
be such as may be fixed in my con-
tract with any foreign government
contributing a subsidy to such cable,
with the usual conditions regarding
reduced rates for press messages, etc.
Ninth. [ will, upon the signing of
the contract, deposit with the Minis
ter of Finance 5000 in Hawaiian
Government bonds TO be held as Sc
curity that I shall construct and lay
such cables according to the terms of
the contract; / being allowed say
eighteen months, as aforesaid, in
which to mature my plans and ascer-
tain what assistance [ can obtain
from the governments. The bonds
to be returned to me if within such
term / notify the Government that
decline to proceed with the enterprise,
or If thereafter by mutual agreement
with the Government the contract be
either extended or cancelled.
Tenth. 1 will, at any time within
one year after completion of the inter
island system, at the option OF the
Government, transfer gratuitously to
the Government all of such inter-
island cable system, free of all debt
or lien, upon the Government paying
the actual cash cost of constructing
the land lines and stations connected
Herewith.
And if the Government so acquires
such system they shall be allowed the
use of the cable ship connected with
the other system to make all necessary
requirements and repairs at actual
cost.
In consideration of such undertak-
ing on my part, the Government to
agree as follows:
l. To pay a subsidy of $4,000 per
annum, for the term of twenty years,
beginning with the date when such
cable system shall be in working
order, subject to suspension or cancel
lation upon the conditions above
named.
>. To grant exclusive privilege of
landing cables on the Hawaiian ISL
ards from the western coast of North
America, and between the islands, for
a term of twenty years Provided,
that the first cable to be landed shall
be laid at and from a point near San
francisco to point near Honolulu,
and with connecting lines between
said cities. Such exclusive privilege

FAREWELL TO OFFICERS.
Boat Riding in the HarbOr-Danoe
on the BENNINGTON.

A very pleasant informal fare
well to Messrs. Ziegermeier and
McVay, formerly of the Benning-
ton, was given last evening aboard
that ship by some Of the officers.
Over fifty persons were present to
share the evenings pleasure. At
8 o'clock boats from the ship took
the guests for a ride in and out of
the channel. After indulging in
this pleasure for a time, the guests
were shown aboard ship. The Ka-
waihau Club, stationed on deck,
furnished sweet music for those
who cared TO dance. Refreshments
were served during the evening.
Goodbyes were said at quite a late
hour.
From the enjoyable evening
spent, it was evident to those pres
ent that the Bennington officers
know how to entertain most admir-
ably.

fall where it belongs. We do this for
the reason that an honorable man de-
serves eXoneration from a charge of
which he is in no way guilty, and as a
warning to Scheming politicians and eX-
citable men against using such names
IN an unwarranted and compromising
way, and against believing everything
they see and hear which campafgners
may choose to produce to work upon
their feelings. AS to the question of
disclaimers and denidlS, the leading au-
thoritieS of the church, like busy men
everywhere, have too much to do 10 be
eveuastingly writing cards, eXplana-
tons and statements concerning each
disagreeable rumor they hear, or every
dishonest and INSCRIPTIONS word or
act that may be directed against them.
Particularly do they feel warranted
in maintaining silence on such matters
during the heat of a political campaign,
where any attempt on their part to dis
cuSS a political trick would not fail to
subject them to the charge of Church
interference" by one party or the other.
We have. rebuked the dragging of
their names and their official positions
into politics at all. They are entitled
to something better at the hands OF
the people of Utah. They do not de-
sire TO interfere with anybody's rights
this they have said again and again,
and all the people know it. On the
other hand they have the right 10 ex-
pect fair and decent treatment from
the politicians of all parties. That
which in the exercise of their prerog-
atives they fell called upon 20 do, they
will perform in an honorable, courag-
eous and righteous manner. There
need be no misunderstanding about
that, and no one need be disturbed,
misled or deceived by anything pur-
porting to come from them which is
not distinguished by these attributes.

A SONG OF WAITING.

blossoms
In the blighted buds of winter wait the
spring;
AS the robins with the red upon their
bosoms
Await the sweet and lovely time to
sing.
have listened for your footsteps as the
meadows
Now listen for the dewfau of the niebt.
AS the parched plains droop and dram
toward the shadows
AS the leaves in darkness listen for the
light!
There is never any rose without the
kisses
OF the spring upon its leaves of red
and white:
There is never any meadow if it misses
The dewfan on its bosom in the night.
There is never any robins breast that
cleaning
Shall feel the thrill and futter of a
wing
And set the world to loving and to
dreaming,
If there never come a sunny time to
sing!
Let the dew the meadows violets dis
covert
Let the robin sing his sweetest to the
close!
There is never any love without a lover
You are coming and the world blooms
like a rose!

that is literally Internal in its heat. 1t
does not look large on the maps, but it
stretches for nearly 1850 miles between
the incandescent shores of Egypt and

and I have been on the verge of col
lapse every trip when we reached Alden

many of the French sick and wounded
soldiers will not survive the journey.

could reach a certain point he would
make a stand for defense. And he
did reach it just in time to tfy his
plan Of battle, which was to take pos
session of a shallow cavity in the face
of the rock, and thus he and the boys
would have only their front to de-
fend. Giving the boys hurried direc-
tons, he continued to yell and stamp
while they entered the assure. Then
he followed them and they all faced
about, dropping their loads behind
them and presenting a close front to
the now furious beasts.
At some time, long before this, the
wind had blown tree top down from
the plateau above. From this Mr..
Turner and the boys broke such clubs
as they could get hold of; then the
desperate wolves made a dash Down
came the clubs swung by sturdy arms.
and such bowls of pain and rage went
echoing down the mountain side as al
most drowned the moaning of the
wind.
After this there was moment OF
comparative silence, and the brutes
withdrew to a, little distance.

shouted Mr.. TURNER. Hit hard, boys!'
He killed one instantly with a blow
on the head. and sprang forward over

was another charge, and this time the
