CABLE.
a Proposal to Lay . Zine between San Fran
cisco and Yokohama

HONOLULU. May 24.-Another cable PROPOSE.
ton has been set afoot, and It comcs from Japan.
Y. Ishikawa, financial editor Of tho Toxic Chuo
.Shinbun, who came here on the cruiser Naniwa
q few weeks ago. Is the promoter Of the project.
He was commissioned b. the Toxic Economical
Society to secure all information on the subject,
and he says that he has enough capital behind
him to carry out any proposition that promises
fair returns.
He says a cable from San Francisco to Yoko-
hama via Hawaii would DO a good investment.
A cable can be laid from San Francisco to Homo
lulu for So. DOC 900 and from the Hawaiian
Islands to Yokohama for CSC 0o. OoO. He figures
out Ale per cent. interest on money invested for
the first year in a trans-Pacihc cable.
His plan is to issue capital stock of $40. oO0.-
oOO and TO dispose OF lve-tenths In the United
States. four-tenths In Japan, and one-tenth in
Hawaii. The Japanese Government, he says,
will give n subsidy Of $500 900. and there can
be no doubt that the United States Government
would give an equal amount. The Japanese
stand ready 10 subscribe 80. O00, 600. The Great
Nippon Steamship Company. which has q capt.
tai stock Of 81, 900 900, would become a large
shareholder.
Editor Ishikawa expects TO lay his proposition
before the Government within the next fort
night. He has already made n detailed report to
his hackers in Japan, and expects to hear from
them by the next steamer.

Mrs. Martha Gardner, ~ years old. Of 255
Smith street, Brooklyn, was the victim Of an
unusual trolley accident yesterday morning for
which an unknown bicyclist and not the trolley
was directly responsible. She probably owed
her life to tho fender with which the car was
equipped.
Mrs. Gardner was standing with three friends
at the northeast corner Of Schermerhorn street
and Boerum place waiting for a car OF tho
Seventh avenue line to take them to Greenwood.
and as one approached from Fulton street she
and the others stepped from the curb and started
across Boerum place. At that instant q bicycliBt,
wearing the uniform Of the Crescent Athletic
Club. came at q rafting gait down Schermer.
horn street, and before Mrs. Gardner had q
chance to get out Of his way the wheel struck
her in the side and hurled her toward the track,
directly in front of the approaching car.
The motorman had already begun to stop tho
car before the collision occurred, but Mrs. Gard
ner was dashed against the fender and thrown
forward q distance of several feet. The bicyclist
dismounted, and following Mrs. Gardner, who
had been picked up by her friends and carried to
the sidewalk, expressed much regret at the oc-
apology. and as none OF the spectators showed
any inclination TO detain him he reInounted his
wheel and started OF up Schermerhorn street
Tho ambulance surgeon who was from
the Long IslRnd College Hospital found that
Mrs. Gardner had received q fracture Of tho

The World printed yesterday ono Of those po-

The bank receives regularly anonymous letters
relating to the bonds and securities. the return

Their return might save n little trouble when
the negotiable bonds come due; that is all.
