to answer that question. He was just
back from San Francisco. Before
leaving he was called on by the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs of the Hawai-
ian Government, who urged the great
desire of that Government that the
United States should undertake the
building of the cable, as Hawaii did
not want Great Britain to control it..
Perkins said this was the latest declar-
alton as to the wishes of the Hawaiian
Government.
The Hawaiian item was then laid
aside until tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Feb. =. There is
just an even chance that this Congress
will pass an appropriation for begin
ming the construction Of q telegraph
cable to Honolulu. From the tenor of
the debate in the Senate it is probable
that body is favorable to this project
and will be willing to appropriate
$500, 900 in the diplomatic appropria-
tion bill toward commencing 1t. The
Vice-President may rule out this
amendment on Senator Mills point of
order that a new project of this order
is not germane to a regular appropria-
tion bill, but as the majority of Sen.
atOrs seem to favor the cable project
they could, with some shadow OF ex-
cuse, successfully appeal from his de.
cisiOn, contending that it Is not new
project, but had its inception in 1891,
when Congress, by ordering the Navy
Department. to take deep. sea sound.
ings between Monterey Bay and Ho-
nolulu, practically began the cable.
WAsHINGTON, Feb. THE cable
project was further discussed by
Mitchell and Perkins. In the course
of his remarks Perkins declared that
the United States needed a new and
strong administrative policy, one
which would restore "old glory to
the seas. We were now paying $780,
OO0,OO annually for carrying on our
trade in foreign ships. The urgent
message of Secretary Gresham to
Minister Willis as to the death sem
tances of Hawaii had to be taken by q
British ship flying the flag of st.
George.
Morgan supported the cable amend
ment. Referring to Mr.. Willis latest
dispatch Morgan said it strikingly
illustrated the need of speedy com
munication between the Hawaiian
and the authorities mere.
The Senator declared that Great
Britain wss secretly endeavOring to
wrest from the United States the great
coaling station, Pearl HarbOr, in Ha-
waii. This was granted to the United
States in consideration of the reciproc-
ity treaty with Hawaii, and yet Eng

SIT is vital that we act, and act at
once" said Morgan impressively. ttI
would rather see every rule of this
Senate broken than to have this
amendment fail. Strong as the case
of Hawaii was to us she would not
much longer be kicked about the
American Congress. She would at
last reluctantly turn to Great Britain"

HOW WILCOX ESCAPED.
It Will be News to Him and Others
Here.

A late San Francisco Call states
that Robert Wilcox, now at the reef,
escaped aud was landed on the Cali
fornia coast from a schooner.
Francis Harden is credited with
saying that he saw Wilcox, and was
in his company for day. Continuing
said: "Bob is here, but I wouldn't
tell you where he is even if I were
permitted to do so. He is wanted in
Honolulu, and there may be grounds
for his extradition. I am not posted
on the fine points of international
law. All I will say is this: Mr..
Wilcox Is safe and his head will not
be cut off by Dole and company"
