TALKING FOR 4 SUBSIDY.
Hawaiian Cable Promoters Make
Arguments.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-James C.
Scrymser and Edmund L. Bayliss were
before the House Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce today in the
interest of the Pacific Cable Company of
New York. They both argued upon the
merits of the Scrymser bill over the
Spalding bill of the New Jersey Company.
ScrymSer stated that his company would
want is months after the passage OF the
bill to complete the cable To Hawaii and
Is more to complete il to Japan.
Patterson of Tennessee said il had been
charged that the Scrymser company was
in sympathy with or had connection with
England and English interests. Scrymser
said of course his company would expect
to do English business. Patterson said
there should be inserted in the bill that
the cable company should not come under
British influence.
Scrymser referred to Swayne's state
ment that Japan wanted no cable con-
nection ridiculous. He said the Japan
csc and Chinese telegraph lines were de-
pendent upon and controlled by the Rus
sian lines. The Spalding company, he
said, would build to Hawaii and stop.
His line to Japan would save the people
of that country more than million dol
lars in tolls
THE Japanese he said ARE fiocking
into Hawaii now. This country is going
TO nave a contest with Japan or some
other power to control Hawaii. 1t is nee
essary to have a cable line there as soon
as possible"
Scrymser did not like the idea of leav-
ing the matter of the contract with the
Postmaster General. The present Post
master General will not have time To
act, and we don't know who the next
Postmaster General is or what he will
the members of the committee deVeIoped
a wide difference of opinion.

company would deed TO the successful
bidder all its rights under the Hawaiian
franchise.
II was reported today that the sub
committee has under considera ton an
providing that the Secretary OF the Treas
ury may negotiate with both companies
for the purpose of constructing "a cable
TO the Islands, subsidy to be granted
TO the company giving the best terms.
II this is done General Swayne's offer will
be made formal. Bennett OF the commit
tee said today that he had no hope that
his bill, the Scrymser bill or any other
similar legislation would go through this
year. In fact, he was of the opinion that
for economical reasons Reed would op-
pose all such legislation.

REED AND TIE CABLE.
Belief that Tie is Opposed to the Hawai-
ian Line.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-There will be
no Pacific cable legislation this session
unless Thomas b. Reed expert ences a
change of heart. At least such is the
belief of the members of the Committee
on interstate and Foreign Commerce,
which, having reported the Scrymser bill,
is confronted by peculiar conditions in the
Spalding bill.

wager SWayne said, in concluding a long
argument, that if any company could I'M
