THE BRITISH CABLE TO HAWAII.
Permission of the United States ID
Asked-French Opposition,


New York, Nov. 27.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald is AUTHORITY
for the following:
1t is the desire of the British govern
ment that the United States shall author
ize British company to land cable on
one of the Hawaiian islands. this cable
going to Canada and Australia.
Such authorization is opposed by the
French government, on the ground that
the laying of cable with British capital
would place Great Britain in control Of q
telegraph system reaching around the en-
tire world, and in the event Of war, be
fore a message could be transmitted, the
British governments consent would have
to be obtained. In case Great Britain
were engaged in hostilities, diplomat
pointed out, it would be practically I'M
possible for France to send message
through British territory, except lnal
which connects France and Cape oOd
Mass.
| NJ. Patenotre has made a representa-
ton to Secretary Sherman, who SAID No
did not think it would make much oil.
ference. This government could use II Il
it desired, and in case of necessity an OP
position line could be established. in'
French officials, however, point out una
in case of war by the United States 'n'
government itself would be handlcappe'
by the cable under British control.
Information has been received here ina
agents of the British company intereSO
in the cable enterprise and the conSu
general of Great Britain in Honolulu ~
making an effort to secure concessiO
from the Dole authorities and the uhi''
States that the British company DC
lowed to land cable
Mr.. Sewall, the diplomats represent !,
tive of this government, is opposed 70 y
grant of such concession. 1t Is inPO
sible for the Dole authorities to give p
mission to lay cable under the reclP p,
ity treaty between Hawaii and the on
ed States.

Portland, Ore, Nov. Bob. Campbell,
general traffic manager of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, who has
just returned from an extended trip east,
in speaking of the prospective rush to
Alaska in the spring, says: present in
dications in the east are favorable for a
large movement of gold hunters to the
Klondike next year, which will begin in
February. The various railway lines are
issuing special advertising matter and
making other preparations to handle the
business. There are good indications al
so for fairly large emigrant travel next
year to the northwest. Information of
the large crops the past year has reached
the east and will result in some move
ment among the agricultural class"

Yesterday afternoon about 5:3o O'Clock
a fire occurred at the Agawam Hunt
Club on Roger Williams avenue in this
town. A telephone message was received
at the police station and officer West rang
In box 80 at town hall squars, and the
Watchemoket Fire Company was
promptly on hand and arrived at the
scene in less than 20 minutes after the
alarm wa runR. Notwithstanding IL was
nearly two-mile run. Soino one con
rected with the club telephonet TO the
city for assistance, and Hose was sent
out. There was also on the spot the
Rumford Hose Company, but the services
Of neither was needed, as the fire was
extinguished with the aid Of garden
hose and very small quantity OF water
The fire was caused by an oyerheoted fur
mace pipe. where it came In contact with
the woodwork and paper in the ladies
locker room, and IL crept between the
partitions 10 tho second and third stories,
and blazed out in the upper story. The
workwood and paper in several rooms
was injured by fire and water. The two
rooms occupied by the steward. George
Bramaa ana son, were most damaged,
in one OF which the furniture was nearly
ruinei. The clubs loss is estimated at
about $780, and ia covered by insurance.
but tho Bramans' loss. which is estimated
at $500. had no insurance upon 1t.
Some OF the citizens Of the town are
quito indignant thar private individuals
should entirely ignore the officials OF the
town. and summon assistance from the
Providence fire department without con
sulting the proper authorities and having
the call. IL one is needed, 60 through the
proper channel. The local fire depart
ment is quite able TO cope with any
ordinary fire, especially where there is
such an abundant supply of water, as is
near the scene OF yesterdays blaze. and
it can at once be- seen that with such an
unofficial proceeding there would be a
conflict Of authority.
