and running westerly at the bottom of the
sea for few miles, furnishing a most re-
markable artificial bed for laying cable.
The entire absence of rocks and the pres
ence of deep soft mud and sand through
out this valley seems to have prepared it
for this special service of telegraph cable.
1t is shown by the report of Lieutenant
Glover that for the entire distance from
the California shore to the terminus near
Diamond Head the oceans bed on this
route is destitute of rocks of any kind,
while the bed for the most part consists of
soft ooze and mud, into which cable will
sink several feet and be entirely submerged
and protected.
Our survey" reports Lieutenant Glover,
was prosecuted with all the care and ac-
curacy that the means for modern deep
sea research afford, and it is believed that
the maps and observations present good
knowledge of the route and establish the
fact that the laying of cable on almost
any line between California and the Ha-
wallan Islands is practicable.
"a lane about 800 miles wide was de-
veloped between California and Hawaii,
and the results seem to indicate the most
favorable route to be rhumb line be-
tween Monterey Bay and Honolulu. This
route has been determined upon as the
most practicable, since it is the one that
will require minimum length of cable in
passing over an even bottom, consisting of
soil which is favorable for its protection
and preservation, avoiding submarine
mountains and volcanic regions where
substances exercising an injurious chemi-
cal action on the covering of the cable are
likely to exist, and where future convul-
sions may cause its destruction"
Under this report everything is favorable
to the laying of the cable in direct line
from Oahu to this coast a distance of 2098
miles, on an ocean bed specially prepared
by nature for the purpose. It's cost, too,
would be at least $500, 900 less than by con-
structing cable by way of Vancouver.
The plan of the survey made by Lieuten-
ant Glover is detailed at length in his re-
port and it is interesting.
"Soundings were taken in general at
alternate intervals of ten and two miles,
along great circles of the earth be-
tween Salinas Landing and Honolulu and
between Point Conception and Hilo Bay,
and along rhumb line between Salinas
Landing and Honolulu. At the geographic

On his return he surveyed to San Francisco

also found no obstacles to a cable via the
BONN islands and Honolulu.

coast by the United States steamers Ranger,

1t Is Trying to Extricate Two New York
Central Trains From Fifteen
Feet Of Snow.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The railroad
blockade that almost surrounded this city
yesterday has been broken, and at all
points trains are moving. The Burlington
and Quincy announces all its western
and Philadelphia trains are arriving
practically on time, though its con-
nections from the latter place to New York
are still interrupted. Most of the Pennsyl-
vania trains are from one to five hours late.
The blockade at Alexandria is entirely re-
moved. The Norfolk and Western is still
closed.
BUFFALO, Feb. 1o.-The great blizzard is
past. Owing to all country roads being i'm
passable and the railroads blocked not a
quart of milk was brought into the city to-
day. The blockade on the railroads is be-
ing raised as fast as possibls.
The great snowplow of the New York
Central which was exhibited at the Worlds
Fair has been kept scurrying over the
tracks of that company's line, and this
evening left for Rochester.
The CentraFs passenger tracks are open,
except at Bergen, where two trains are
stalled in about fifteen feet of snow.
The first trains from New York since
Friday arrived here tonight. The Auburn
Falls and Lockport branches are as yet
completely blocked. On the Auburn
branch there is said to be twenty-five feet
of snow.
On the Lackawanna all yesterdays and
to-days trains came in in lump tonight.
The track is now reported clear. The first
train on the Lehigh Valley since Friday
came through tonight.
1t is expected the road will be COM
pletely reopened by night. The Erie line
east of this point is now open and the first
train for New York since Friday was
started at $50 P. NJ.
Lines west of here, though delayed, have
got off much lighter. Communication by
rail between Buffalo and Niagara Falls has
been restored.
New YORK, Feb. 10.-The weather in this
city has moderated considerably during

lieves an extra session to be necessary. But
if they insist that an extra session is not
necessary, under the existing law the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, they say, can re-
plenish the gold reserve as rapidly as it
becomes depleted and with receipts soon
exceeding disbursements the drafts upon
the gold reserve will soon cease. 1t is con-
tended by representative men of both par
ties that an extra session would probably
be barren of any satisfactory results so far
as the passage of any banking bill that
would meet wishes of Northern and Eastern
people is concerned.

ATTACKING POTTS LAW.
Judge Eippfncott VIII Ee Asked If
It's CONSTITUTIONAL

The law giving the police Justices of
cities of the first class Jurisdiction in
assault and battery cases has given rise
to series of complications in two cases
that We're brought before Judge Huds-
peth in the Court of General Sessions this
morning. Henry Book, a saloonkeeper,
of Palisade avenue, Jersey City Heights,
was arraigned before Justice Douglass
on February q for assault and battery
on Frederick Kuhn. He waived his right
to a trial by jury and demanded an i'm
mediate hearing by Judge Douglass.
Kuhn swore that Boch struck him over
the head with some blunt instrument.
Boch admitted that an assault was COM
nitted on Kuhn in his saloon, but denied
being the assa.lant. The evidence in the
case proved to be a matter of atrocious
assault and battery. over which Justice
Douglass had no jurisdiction. AS Boch
was tried for simple assault and bat
terry, he was acquitted. Kuhn went be-
fore the Grand Jury and had Boch in
Boch was arraigned before. Judge Huds-
peth this morning. Counsellor Wills, for
Boch, ecntended that his client should
pc discharged. as ne a had been previously
cepted the plea, and referred it for argu-
ment before Judge Lipp-ncett tomorrow
morning.
The other case was that of two broth
ers, August and Charles Woeckemen, who
had been arrested and tried on February
20, before Justice Douglass, on the charge
of assault and battery They waived
the right to a trial by jury. IN the Ses-
sions Court, and in writing, signified their
preferences for an immediate trial be-
fore Justice Douglass. Justice Douglass
made no disposition of the case at the
time, and it finally got to the. Grand
Jury. who found indictments against the
Woeekemens. Counsellor Carey appear
ed for them this morning, and contended
that the new law would not admit their
arraignment in the Sessions Court unless
they expressed that desire z writing,
had already been tried in the lower court,
which had complete jurisdiction n the
matter, and that further trial in the case
was not legal. He asked 81; l., that the ,r, in
Assistant Prosecutor made no objection.
Judge Hudspeth, after some deliberation,
determined to submit the matter to
Judge Lippincott, as he had in the Boch
case. There will be a hearing tomorrow
ssistant Prosecutor will maintain that the
police justice law passed is unconstitu-
tional.
