THE SPALDING BILL
THE PROPOSED PACIFIC CABLE.
The Measure Favored by
Congressman Loud.
He Says He Thinks That Only One
EzaCompany Can Get a Land
49, ing ine Hawaii. p a.-... isssl

WASHINGTON, December 28.-Rep-
resentative Loud, who introduced the
Spalding Pacific cable bill recently, has
some hopes of its success and today
gave this explanation of his reason for
offering the measure: Il believe that
the only cable which can be landed in
the Hawaiian Islands at the present
time is that proposed in the Spalding
measure. / am assured that Spalding
alone has a franchise for building an
ocean cable from the United States to
the Hawaiian Islands, with any landing
privileges. [ know nothing, of course.
as TO what is being done in regard to
an extension beyond the Islands, but l
am assured that negotiations are now
under way. In regard to the bill which
has been reported to the House and is
known as the Scrimser bill, the plan
of that company is to land its cable at
Pearl Harbor. 1t must be remembered
however, that the cession of Pearl Har-
Dor was made to the United States for
a naval station only, and has even yet
not been completed. Even if this coun-
try did take possession, it would have
no right to permit the landing of a
cable at that point.
The Spalding measure, l believe, is
the only one which offers an opportu-
nifty for Americans to secure control OF
a means of communication with the ISL
ands. There has been so much discus
sion in relation to the growth of British
influence in the islands and talk OF
British concession for a cable if the
United States does not avail itself CT
the present plan that L am convinced
that this measure really gives us the
last chance to secure growth of Amer
lean influence there. / have heard from
Hawaiian representatives that there
would be a tendency to turn this con-
cession over to an English company
and q resultant growth of English IN
fluence would follow. The cable would
be of special benefit to the Pacific
Coast, as we control substantially, the
trade with the islands.
The general opinion is that no matter
what effort is made no legislation in
favor of a Pacific cable will have any
result in this Congress. There is
enough sentiment in the House in favor
OF such a measure to insure its ras
sage, but there is hardly any chance
of its passage through the Senate. In
formation has been received here That
many influences in the islands are al
ready being welded looking to English
Dredominance One letter said that
efforts are now being made to insure
the cession of a landing to an English |
company if Spalding fails to gain an
American subsidy

SUGAR IMPORTERS TALK.

Hold Meetings TO Consider Tariff Leg
islation.
NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-The sugar i'm
porters of New York held a meeting last
night to consider the matter of duties on
raw sugar, in order TO report their opin-
ion of the same to the Ways and Means
Committee on December 80. 1t was decid-
ed after n long discussion that the re-
fneries should look out Independently for
their own interests. The committee APP
pointed to wait upon the Congressional
Committee is as follows: Scion Humph-
rieS, =. j. Smith, John Fair, William II.
Lefferts and G. i. Armstrong.
The discussion was long one. Among
those who took part in ii was W. Z. VIII
let, of Willet x Gray, who said that the
sugar consumption in the United States
had increased from 1913, 532 tons in 1881 to
1000, 900 tons in 1896. The average of the
annual increase was per cent There
was good reason TO believe that in the
next fifteen years the consumption would
be increased to 100000 tons.
After the establishment of Cuban indie
pendence, he said, the Cuban sugar crop
would be 100000 tons, and its natural
market would be the United States
Mr. Willet said he had information from
Washington that the Ways and Means
Committee would be satisfied with a rate
beginning with three-fOurthS OF a cent
per pound for 75-degree sugar and in
creasins at .02 cents per pound per de-
gree. mis- would make 96-test centrifugal
pay LII cents against 81 cent, or an aver
age increase Of % per cent in the duties
from the present tariff, which was prob
ably all that would be required.
\ proposition to recommend a differ
entail duty on refined sugar was voted
down. 1t was decided TO let the refined
sugar interests present their own cases.
The committee appointed by the meeting
was instructed TO advocate a specific duty
on raw sugars.

NEW CABINET FOR M,KINLEY.
The Latest Rumor as TO its Compns-
ition.

CHICAGO, Dec. Pa special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
1t is now possible to give some import
ant news concerning the progress which
President-elect Mckinley has made in the
task of making up his cabinet slate. 1t
would be incorrect to say that Mckinley
has fully and finally determined whom
he will ask to be his ministers. So far
only two direct offers of places in the
cabinet have been made-one of these to
Mr.. Hanna. who is not likely TO be in the
cabinet at all, and the other to Mr..
DIngley. But the President-elect has de-
termined, practically, the composition of
his cabinet. with the exception of one or
perhaps two places.
Unless he changes his mind the follow
ing viii be the Mckinley cabinet when ii
is finally announced: Secretary of State.
John Sherman of Ohio: Secretary of the
Treasury. Nelson Dingley of Maine; Sec
rotary of War, Ex-Governor William NIer-
RAM of Minnesota; Secretary of the
Navy, Cornelius y. Bliss of New York;
Attorney General. Nathan Golf of West
Virginia. Postmaster General, Henry c.
Payne of Wisconsin; Secretary of Agri
culture, Judge Waymire of California.

PURE WATER IN SICK ROOT.
Simple Means of Filtering Danger in
 Water Not Fresh Drawn.

There is a very simple way to filter water perfectly that is strangely little known; it is not adapted to Altering large quantities, but it may be inval- uable to the sick nurse or the mother of delicate baby or to the traveller who is encountering water of especial impurity. Filtering paper and me- dium sized funnel are ali that is needed; the paper, little as you may know it, can be bought at any phar- macy and IS very cheap; it comes pre- pared to fold inside the funnel; then gently pouring water in the tunnel, the paper strains it perfectly pure; of course. heavy stream would break the paper and pint or two is about all that can be filtered at once with out spending a great deal of time upon it, but little perfectly pure water is often invaluable and this is often the easiest way to get it.
 We should always remember that almost any drinking water fresh drawn is purer than any water that has been standing in the air in open vessels even half an hour. Too often we think only whether water that has been standing in cold or warm. Now, cold water absorbs more injurious gas es and absorbs them faster than warm water Set pitcher of ice water in an inhabited room, aud in a few hours it will have absorbed nearly all of the respired and prespired gases in the place; the air will be purer but the water filthy. At an ordinary temper ature a pint of water will absorb pint of carbonic acid gas and several pints of ammonia gas Children should be taught not to drink water left standing indoors
