The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-05-29
scRYMsER VS.. spALDrNe.

A pamphlet recently published in
Washington gives both sides of the
question on cable matters. 1t consists
Of two letters, both addressed to Hon
John Sherman as Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, one writ
ten by Jas. A. Scrymser, president OF
the Pacific Cable Company of New
York, and the other reply to it, writ
ten by Wager Swayne on behalf of the
New Jersey Company.
Mr.. Scrymser's letter sets out to prove
that Colonel Spalding is not pioneer
in the Pacific cable undertaking; that
the Pacific Cable Company of New York
is not in alliance with the Canadian
Pacific railroad, and that Mr.. Scrymser.
as president of said company, has not
unreasonably refused to merge his in
terests with the New Jersey company.
Exactly what force there is to the
objection of Colonel Spalding's not be-
ing pioneer in the Pacific cable is not
very clear. A Pacific cable has been
talked of for the past thirty years.
Colonel Spalding goes to the United
States with a concession from the Ha-
waiian Government in 1895, because
Mr.. Scrymser had talked Of such a pro-
ject in 1870, a project which for six
teen years past has not been revived,
it does not seem any reason why no one
else should go forward with the work.
The fact is that the essential differ
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-05-29

ence between the two companies is that
the Spalding company is, and the Scrym-
ser company is not, willing to provide
the Hawaiian people with an inter-
island telegraph system, and it is Colo
mel Spalding's determined effort to keep
the requirements for the inter-island
telegraph that have prevented the
Scrymser people from merging the in
terests of the two companies, which,
on those conditions. Colonel Spalding
was quite willing to do. This upsets
the defense on the third charge.
A counter charge was made against
the Spalding company, that it was
merely tool of Sir John Fender, and
that the line would go into British con-
troll, has been met and disproved, and
is further covered by allowing the
United States the privilege of taking
over the line at any time
