5iguous terms on this subject. The
financial policy of the present Demo
cratic administration deserves an un.
qualified endorsement at the hands Of
the Democratic party of Kentucky or it
does not deserve such endorsement.

Of the represen tatives of the Democracy

we submit the following as anamend-

PROPOSED HAWAIIAN CABLE.
From Honolulu to Monterey, CAL, the
Latest Route Suggested.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-An Aus
tralian company not organized in the
interest Of the British government pro-
poses to lay a cable by way of Homo
lulu to Monterey, CAL, providing the
United States will assist or the COM
pany will agree to sell to the United
States that part of the cable from Hon
olulu to California at the cost of con-
struction. Audley Coole of Australia,
now at Honolulu, sends word that he
will be here at the beginning of the
pext session of congress to push
the matter. The first link in
this cable has already been laid from
Australia to New Caledonia. Mr.. Coole
sends word that his company is pre-.
parel Immediately to proceed with lay
ing the cable from California to Homo.
lulu. The company regards Honolulu
as the natural center of Pacific cable
lines.
While expressing the highest respect
for the Hon. Sanford Fleming and his
associates who are back of the exclu-
sively British cable scheme, Mr..
Coole regards the plan as chimerical
of making Fannings island the first
station from Victoria to Australia. The
length of such a. line, allowing for
slack, would be 5000 miles, The long
est existing cable now does not exceed
1890 miles. Such a length will re-
quire cable of excessive weight and
conducting power, costing double the
price of one from Monterey to Homo
lulu. Honolulu is also the natural
point for a branch line to Japan. Eng
land desires and insists on exclusive
ownership Of telegraphic connection
between her Pacific colonies. Such de-
sire must be extremely urgent, Mr..
Coole says, to induce going by Homo.

rock as Neckar Island or on such des-
olate island as Fanning's. In this case
England makes her military interests
superior to her commercial interests.
