Outlook For Construction Seems Very
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-From
the action OF the House Committee
on Commerce today there seems to
be little doubt that the bill author
izing the Pacific Gable Company to
lay cable from the Pacific Coast
to the Hawaiian Islands and Japan
will be iavorably reported.
The committee directed the sub,
committee to prepare bill embrac-
ing certain changes considered de.
sirable.
The principal points of difference
between the cable company and the
committee are the amount of Gov.
eminent subsidy to be granted and
the time to be allowed for laying
the cable. 1t is proposed by the
company to have the cable working
to the Hawaiian Islands in eigh
teen months and completed tc
Japan in three years. The bill tt
be drafted will reduce this time
The subsidy asked is $3.50, 600 {
year for term of twenty years
the Government to have free use o.
the cable in that time.
In the course Of the discussion i
was argued that the subsidy asked
was too large.

MUSIC HALL.

The Play House is to BE Rebuilt without
Delay.
The Hawaiian Opera house will
be rebuilt. Messrs. Irwin and J.
ID. Spreckels have so decided. The
contract will be let and work will
begin as early as possible. c. b.
Ripley has submitted detailed plans
with satisfactory estimates. The
plans of the new house were pub
lished in THE STAR several months
ago.
This enterprise of Mr.. Irwin is
purely public spirited one. He
desires to give the Honolulu public
a first class Opera house. 1t will
cost him, outside Of building, about
rs, 900 year to keep it up. The
investment is one of loss, and can
never pay a cent of interest Here
tofore heavy taxes have been paid
on the Opera house. Though two
gallons of water a month are not
used, the full water rates are
charged. Some people think that,
as the Opera house is public in
stitution and great pecuniary loss
to its owners, taxes and water
rates should be RENTED by the
Government.

CHEAP STALLS.

Making Concessions to the Chinese
Peddlers.
Andrew Brown has made a new
arrangement for the accommodation
of vegetable vendors at the Homo
lulu market. The peddlers are Of
feed the privilege of selecting any
of the vacant stalls and using them
from 4 10 a. III. for the small rental
of 10 cents. AT o'clock, however,
they must get out to make room
for regular renters.
Another scheme is to rent the
stalls for $40 per month. Three
men can combine and operate the
same stall, thus renducing the rent
to minimum. If vendors wish to
stay all day at the market they will
have to rent by the month. Mr..
Brown is anxious to accommodate
the vendors as far as is possible.
