FOR A PACIFIC CABLE.
australia Willing to Bear One-Third
the Expense.
Postal Officials Meet and Name Dele
gates to the Conference to Be
Held In London.

SYDNEY, Jan. ia conference
of the Postmaster Generals from Sgd
ney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Ade-
laide, the latter representing also
West Australia and Tasmania, with
Sir w. G. Reeves, the new General
Agent in London for New Zealand,
met here on Friday and Saturday and
adopted resolutions that Saul Samuel
and Duncan Gillies should be nomi-
mated to represent Australia on the
Pacific Cable Com mission in London,
and that they be requested to consult
the Agent-Gener on all important
points.
Their decisions are to be subject to
the approval of the Colonial Govern
ment.
The conference also resolved that
the cable should be owned jointly by
the various Governments Interested,
and that the places should be
solely on territory controlled by Great
Britain, the cot of the construction
and maintenance to be borne by Great
Britain, Canada and Australia in the
proportion of Cne-third each.
The route from FIJI to Australia is
to be Norfolk island, thence to the
nearest convenient lauding-places iu
North New Zealand and Moreton bay
It was further resolved that it was
highly desirable that South Austria
liza should join in the scheme.
Responding to an invitation of the
confe renee, DR.. Cockburn submitted
an offer on behalf of South Australia
that she was willing TO cooperate,
provided a guarantee either from the
contributing colonies or from them
Jointly, with the imperial Govern
ment, be given that her financial
basis a. regards the Port Darwin
line should be maintained oU the
basis of the average for. the lat five
years. The conference resolved in
favor of all the colonies contributing
equally To the scheme.
MELBOURNE, Jan l9.-Sir w.
c.. Reeves aud DR.. Cock urn pro-
testei strongly against equal pay
ments by the colonies and declineu TO
vote on the question because they de-
sired that the contributions should be
on population basis.

them to in any way participate.
Subsequently explanations were
made which were in ev-
cry way satisfactory. Min
lister Willis, however, took an
entirely different course neither
accepting or declining the invita-
ton. The same may be said OF
Consul General Mills and Captain
Pigman but, as the invitation of
the captain and consul were sent
them, as is usually the case,
through the United States Lega-
ton and as Minister Willis de-
clined to accept, it is possible the
invitations failed to reach them.
Among the street rumors one is to
the effect that Captain Pigman had
remarked to his friends, that he
had not seen the notice and if it
had reached him he would have
fired salute.
Whatever differences there are
between the representative of the
United States and this Govern
ment on the subject of the cele-
bration will be settled promptly.
It is now a matter of correspond
ence between Minister Willis and
this Government.
1t was learned last evening from
reliable source that the members
of the diplomatic corps conferred
among themselves regarding the
L
lis was. party to this conference
and was presumably favorable to
the non-recognition of the day.
The impression prevails among
some of the diplomatic officers that
Mr.. Willis replied to the invitation
sent him on the 10Th of January,
but so far as can be ascertained the
Hawaiian Government has seen
nothing of the reply.

January 18th have been current
that it is a difficult matter for the
public to decide just which, if any,
to accept. The friends of the rep
resentatives, probably, are inter
ested in stating one side, while the
supporters of the Government are
pleased to relate theirs. Together
they place the public in the posi-
ton of guessers. The following
account was obtained from a gen.
tleman in close touch with the
Government and may be accepted
as authentic:
The 18th of January, having
been declared a national holiday
by the Republic, invitations to
take part were sent in the usual
way to the diplomatic and consul
lar corps. Favorable replies were
received from all but the repre-

sentatives of the United States,
England, Japan and France.
OF these representatives the
three last stated in their re-
plies to this Government
that, as their Governments had
never recognized the Provisional
Government, and as the holiday
was given in celebration OF the
formation of that Government,
they did not feel it incumb bent upon

Legislature to inquire into the best
electric railway system in use in the
United States applicable to Honolulu
and incidentally to ascertain the most
feasible plan OF sewerage for Honolu-
lu. Mr.. Dodge was selected by the
company to make the necessary in
vestigations. He left;here October I'd

After visiting the principal cities In
California he went to Salt Lake, Dem

While away he called upon and was

gineers of the country. 81 interview
Ell number of manufacturers of
electrical machinery, as we'll as elec-
trio companies, and obtained from
them estimates of the cost per mile OF
building an electric road here and of
supplying power houses and rolling
stock.
'I believe I have seen the best cleo
trio roads operating in America
said Mr.. Dodge, "aud feel cOmpe-
tent to judge now which is best
adapted for use here. In the largest
cities laws have been passed by the
semblies and legislatures forbid
ding the use of overhead wires on
electric roads and com pelling the COM
panies to use underground conduit
systems. This is necessitated by the
great amount of traffic on the streets
in some places and in others, Wash
ington for instance, by wish OF the
commi -sioners TO prev ent the no airing
OF that beautiful city,"
"Did you find any small city like
Honolulu were the couduits were
used?"
"NOt one. The expense of building
road using the conduit system is
enormous; in some places L believe it
is S75, 900 per mile"
You will hardly recommend that
plan to the legislature for Honolulu.U
think not. Such a system for a
place as small as Honolulu Is unneces-
sary, and, might add, would be pro-
hibl'ory. There are some exc, Ileut

with estimates for building them.

Mr.. McVeigh has been in i'll health
for several months, though he attended
closely to his business affairs up to one
week ago, when an operation was deem
ed necessary by DR.. Ryder, his ply
sician The result was not satisfactory
and he never rallied after it was per-

How to Treat a Wife.
From the Pacific Health Journal)

First, get wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
plexities in your business, but do not
therefore carry to your home a cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though Of less mag
nitude, may be hard for her to bear.
A kind word, tender look, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. To this we would add
always keep a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the
best, and is sure to be needed sooner
or later. Your wife will then know that
you really care for her and wish to pro-
tect her health. For sale by all drug
gists and dealers. Benson, Smith & Co.

guration of the Republic in 1894.

Report adopted as read.
The Joint Resolution was then read,
the first part relating to the Great Seal
and the second, to departmental seals.
Minister Cooper made an objection.
saying that it was customary to insert
the coat-of-arms in the center of seals
of the Foreign Departments of various
countries. He moved that the resolu-
tion be so amended as not to affect the
Foreign Department.
Rep. Robertson said he did not see
why the committee should act on the
departmental seals and moved that
the section regarding these, be stricken
out. Carried.
Resolution passed as amended.
Rep. Robertson introduced two bills
relating to the Penal Code-one to
amend Section z, Chapter 9, bearing on
assaults on public officers, and the other
defining and providing for punishment
of malicious injuries. Both bills passed
first reading and were referred to the
judiciary committee.
Under suspension of rules Rep. Rob-
ertson read the following resolution:
"The undersigned, merchants, carry
ing on business as retail traders of for
eign products under licenses as re-
quired by law, in the District of Homo
lulu, Island of Oahu, respectfully rep
resent to your honorable body the fol-
lowing:
There is before your honorable body
on Act contemplated to be passed at
this session of the Legislature, regu-
lating the license laws of this Republic
in such manner as we deem, would
work an injury to your petitioners, in
that,
'First-By an increase in number of
licenses for goods and wares which are
being sold at present under one license
means additional expense without cor
benefits.
"Second-An increase of expenses in
the retail trade at the present de-
pressed state of the country, means
bankruptcy to your petitioners.
"Third-That your petitioners are
merely carrying on their business, with |
he hope that the future will be so that
hey could recoup themselves for what |
loss they have sustained during these |
1ull times.
Therefore your petitioners beg your
honorable body that the existing Ii |

he sale of foreign products be main |
aimed.

Rep. Robertson reported for the Sc
lect committee appointed to confer with
the Senate committee on the matter
of design for great seal, having had
under consideration House Joint Reso-
luton No. 1 and the report of the Sen
the committee reported that an agree
ment had been reached, as follows:
After careful consideration we con-
clude that the main features of the de-
sign adopted by the House were very
appropriate and that with some al
terations in matters of detail, the de-
sign would be made altogether unob-
jectionable.
THE following alterations recon-
mended by the Senate miscellaneous
committee have not been adopted for
the reasons stated.
THAT the bars in the first quarter
of the shield be replaced by the Hawai-
ian Jack. This would make radical
change in the shield and give too much
prominence to the Jack, which is once
represented in the flag held by the
goddess or liberty.
That the malo in the figure of Ka-
mehameha l., be heightened and that
the band over the shoulder be re-
moved. We prefer to adopt the cos
tune as represented by the statue in
front of the Judiciary building, believ-
ing that in the future that statue will
be looked upon as the typical repre-
sentation of the old monarch.
THAT the bird Phoenix be replaced
by Diamond Head. The difficulty with
this idea is that if representation OF
Diamond Head were reduced to the di-
mensions necessary to get it into the
space, it would not only be so small as
to be hardly distinguishable from any
other rock, but also altogether out OF
proportion with the rest of the de-
sign; nor would it look we'll to have
the shield between the hill and the
rising sun.
THE notifications which we have
made are as follows:
THE 'tabu sticks have been made
correct.
THE rays of the sun have been i'm
proved upon.
"The foliage has been altered.
And the bird Phoenix has beer
changed to conform more to such rep
reservations of her as we have beer
able to find in the books and maga
zines.
