| Pacific He was on duty at the Wash
| ington Navy Yard from 1875 to 1878
and was in charge of the first light
house district, in New England, from
| 1878 to 1881.
He commanded the flagship Rich
mond in the Asiatic station from 1881
| to 1884, assuming command at Pana-
ma, and, by direction of the Navy De-
| partment, visiting Apia, Samoa, to set
| tie a difficulty into which the United
States Consul had become involved and
to examine the coal station at Pago-
Page.
He succeeded to the command of the
squadron on the Asiatic station in Oc-
tober, 1888, and continued to COM
mand until 1884, when he took charge
of the naval asylum at Philadelphia.
He remained in charge until 1888, and
became a member of the Naval Adj
visory Board, which was engaged in
important work.
He was made a commodore in 1889
and placed in command of the Ports
mouth On. H) Navy Yard. Two years
later he was made the commandant of
the Washington Navy Yard, upon
which duty he remained until his as
signment, in 1892, to the command OF
the Pacific station. He was shortly
afterward transferred to the AsiatIc
station, owing to the change of policy
toward Hawaii, which took place with
advent of the Cleveland administra-
ton. Secretary Herbert wrote him
letter at the time, stating that his
transfer was not due to any dissatis-
faction with his course at Honolulu.
He was very popular in Hawaii, and on
the occasion of his departure there
was a great public demonstration in
his honor
The Skerrett family have been prom
inent in the social affairs of Honolulu,
and this fact led to the unwarranted
rumor that the intimacy of Mrs. Skier
rett and her two daughters with the
families of the Provisional Govern
ment was the cause of Commodore
Skerrett's removal. Mrs. SkerTett
knew the deposed Queen of Hawaii,
and had several times called on her
while in Honolulu. Mrs. Skerrett is
of Southern birth, and entertained at
the time of the war pronounced seces-
sion views. She made no secret of her
opinions Mrs. SkerTett made frequent
visits to relatives in the South. She
is supposed to possess the last official
signature of Abraham Lincoln, which
she secured to a pass between the lines
on the fatal evening in April, 1865.
Admiral Skerrett voluntarily retired
from service July 8. 1894, while in
command of the Asiatic station, hav-
ing the distinction, according to the
records. of serving longer sea and
shore duty than any other officer of
the navy.

cablegram from London to the Even
ing Post says: The drafts of the Pacific
Gable Commission were signed this
afternoon on behalf of the British,
Australian and Canadian governments
after many months investigation.
The result, which is kept strictly secret
for the present, is awaited with keen
interest as the first tangible product of
Joseph Chamberlain's aggressive CO.
lonial policy, an important step tow
ards establishing British supremacy
in the Pacific and supplying the en-
pire with an imperial cable free from
foreign interference. 1t is understood
the report favors laying a cable at the
earliest possible moment between Van
couver and Australia, under joint sub
sides by England and Canada, certain
of the Australian colonies and New
Zealand. 1t must touch nothing but
British territory, leaving Hawaii TO
be tapped by a branch line The Lau-
rier government made Canadian sup
port absolutely conditional upon the
absence of foreign stations, which
would destroy the strategic value of
the cable to the empire in case of war.
The Canadian delegates strongly fav-
ored the construction and operation of
the cable as a join government enter
prise by an imperial colonial cable
trust of England, Canada and Austria
liza, paying a third of the cost each.
English official opinion, supported by
some of the Australian colonies and
backed by strenuous opposition to the
existing eastern company monopoly,
favored a subsidy to an independent
company, which course will be adopted
probably.
The cable will cost about $4,000, 900,
to be put down and be ready within
two years. The project. now awaits the
approval of the imperial legislatures.
The only difficulty expected is in Aus
tralia, where intercoIonial rivalries are
certain to create opposition.
