washington, April 1.-The senate
committee on foreign relations could
not agree to q report on a bill for a
cable to Hawaii. There was consider
able feeling among the members. A
bill had been drafted and accepted by
majority OF the committee, which is
believed to contain the best features
OF the two propositions under consider
alton, one coming from New York or
the Srimser company and the other
from New Jersey or the Spaulding COM
pany.. The bill was complete except for
the absence OF the name of the com
pany to which the contract should be
awarded. The bill had been submitted
to both companies and each agreed to
accept its provisions in case IL should
be named as the one to which the con-
tract should go.
Four democratic members of the
cosnmittee-Gray. Turpie, Daniel and
Mills-were opposed to granting any
subsidy for the cable. leaving the six
republican senators and Senator Nor
gan favorable to the undertaking by
one company or the other, but divided
as between the two companies. Bal
loting on filling the blank i'm the bill
resulted In favor of the New York
company, the four senators who on
posed the bill voting for this company.
When the vote was taken upon re-
porting the bill awarding the contract
these four senators voted against IL and
were Joined by the friends OF Spauld-
ing. The motion to insert the New
Jersey (Spaulding) company was de-
feated by the four democrats and 9TH
ers favoring the New York company.
The advocates OF the cable do not adj
init the adverse vote will result I'm any,
thing more seriouse than a temporary
delay. 1t is suggested the contestinQ
companies may be Joined in the bill and
their friends thus united.
