WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Pacific
cable project was once more the sub
ject of discussion by the House Commit
tee on Commence today. Bennett of New
York presented a substitute bill en-
bodying several amendments suggested
by members in former discussions.
1t was the sense of the committee that
instead of a subsidy of $160,000 asked by
the Pacific Gable Company, a New
York corporation, the Government of
the United States should not help it in
a greater sum than 100000 a year for
twenty years, if any agreement was
made, and the Government business
should be done free for all time. Ben
nets bill fixed the rates for private
business at $1.25 per word for China
and Japan nd 80 cents for the Hawaiian
Islands, with press rates at one-fourth
of these figures.
The company has abandoned its in
tention to try and secure mid-ocean
station on the Marshall Islands, which
are under the control of the German
Government, and has fixed upon the
Midway Islands,, which are uninhab-
tied and belong to the United States.

MONDAY, April 13.

The contemplated receipt of news that
sugar has made another jump may have
had an effect upon the Senators yes
terday and impelled in the Senators a
desire to quit early. Twenty minutes
close confinement in the Senate cham
Der yesterday was sufficient for the
transaction of all the business before
that body.
Senator Brown, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported a substitute bill
for Senator Hocking's amendment to
the patent law.
Senator Wright introduced a bill to
regulate the importation of live cattle.
Under a suspension of rules the bill
was read the second time by title and
referred to the Judiciary Committee.

y. S. MINISTER WILLIS.
Now on Leave.

Government might select was not taken
into consideration.
The Executive was firm, however, and
at cabinet meeting it was decided to
lay the matter before the Secretary of
State of the United States, through
Minister Hatch.
In due time the complaint and CORE
spondence was laid before Secretary
Olney, and with him the matter rested
until about three weeks ago. Nothing
was heard from it by the Government
here, except that the relations between
the officials at Washington and the
members of the Hawaiian legation were
most cordial. Those who were aware
of this state of affairs read between the
lines and arrived at the conclusion that
when an opinion was rendered by the
Secretary it would not be altogether in
favor of Minister Willis.
Information has been received from
Washington to the effect that while
Minis 0r Willis has not been censured
by his Government, his conduct on jan
uary II is disapproved.
Minister Willis will leave for his
home and Washington by the Australia
on Thursday, and when he reaches the
capital he will be in a better position
to make any explanation to his Gov
ernment that may be deemed neces-
sary.
1t has been an open secret since Jan
uary that the social relations between
Minister Willis and the Government
have not been cordial; in fact all social
relations were discontinued after the
18th of January episode.
None of the officials of the Govern
ment were invited to be present at the
Washington's birthday celebration at
the legation, nor were they invited to
be present at the Hawes dinner ten
dered Minister Willis last week.

from fifty-seven residents of Puma,
asking that the road which the Govern

to the district, otherwise it will not be
of much benefit to the place. Referred
to the Public Lands Committee.
Rep. Robertson presented the follow
ing petition from Chinese physicians
and surgeons of the city:
"The undersigned Chinese physicians
and surgeons, petitioning your honora-
BILE body, respectfully protest against
the passage of that portion of the pro-
posed license law which seeks to i'm
pose license fee of $50 upon practic-
ing physicians and surgeons, for the
following reasons:
"First-It is a tax upon one of the
liberal professions, which have always
been exempt from such tax.
"Sacond-It is tax upon labor, and
as such, unwise and unjust.
"Third--It makes no distinction be-
tween physicians of large practice and
those just beginning to practice and
who can ill afford to pay such fee.
"FOurth-The people who patronize
Chinese physicians are mostly poor and
consequently unable to pay but small
remuneration for service rendered.
"And so, humbly requesting due con-
sideration of this petition, your petit
TONERS will ever pray"

geons).

NEW YORK, April 3.-The plans of
the party of tourists and scientific men
who are to sail on the yacht Coronet
from San Francisco this month for the
purpose of taking astronomical and
other observations in and about Japan,
especially during the eclipse of the sun,
which takes place in August, are all
completed, and the entire party will
start from this city for the West next
Monday.
The Coronet is the property of Ar
thur c. James, who said today that the
party would consist of himself and wife,
Prof. Todd and wife of Amherst Col
lege, Prof. Garrish of Harvard Observ
atory, Mr.. Thompson, who would have
charge of the mechanical department
of the Amherst corps; Lieutenant Penn
berton, passed assistant engineer of the
United States Navy, detailed by the
Government to go with the expedition;
Arthur w. Francis and DR.. VanderpoOl
Adriance, who will be the physician in
charge of the expedition. 1t is expected
that the party will reach San Francisco
by April 18th. The members will go on
board at once and sail for Honolulu, at
which place they remain at least ten
days.
Mr.. James said that while in Wash
ingtOn making plans for the voyage he
had been much interested to learn from
the authorities that the exact longitude
of Honolulu has never been ascertained.
1t would be one of the aims of his party
to accomplish, if possible, this feat.
From Honolulu the party will go di-
rect to Yokohama, and from there in due
course to the island of Yesso, at which
the eclipse will be visible Returning,
Mr.. JAMES continued, the party will
come directly back across the Pacific,
making no stops. 1t i sestimated that
the entire trip will occupy at least six
months.

WHAT SNAKES EAT.
One Owned In Paris Averaged Five
Meals Each Year.

During the last few months some of
the gentlemen connected with the Mu-
scum Of Natural History at Paris have
given to the world various interesting
results Of their observations, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The learned professor at the museum.
Leon Valiant. describes the diet of a
serpent more than twenty feet long,
which has been on exhibition at the
Jardin des Plantes since the month Of
August. 1885. Up to the end of 1895 this
reptile has eaten fifty times that is. on
the average of five time a year. The
largest number of times in one year that
the snake took food was in 1886. when
he ate seven times.
Nearly always the food consisted of
the flesh of goats old and young Three
times, however, the repast was COM
posed of rabbits and once a goose. The
feeding of the serpent. which will eat
nothing but what is alive, offers an un-
common spectacle, and many persons
