PACIFIC CABLE PROJECT.
MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT
BEFORE CONGRESS.
Why Government Ownership Would
be factory-EXtracts From
the Interesting Report.

The majority report of the Congress
sional committee on Pacific cables has
been received in this city, and is most
interesting. The most important
points are set forth in the following
extracts:
"The risks of cable ownership are
very considerable. The item for re-
pairs and renewals is an uncertain
one and at times a very costly one,
your committee having satisfactory
proof that repairs to an Atlantic cable
have cost at times as much as 100000
for a single repair. This is one of the
reasons that has caused your commit
tee to report against governmental
ownership of any trans-Pacific cable.
sit should be remembered that this
cable will be the longest cable in the
world. 1t will be laid in an unknown
ocean, for thus far none of the ca
bles laid in the Pacific have been lad
at any considerable distance from the
shore. The soundings show that at
one point it will be in 3,1S5 fathoms
of water.
''Under the proposed contract the
cable company will assume all risks
of construction and of the continued
working of the cable. If the cable
breaks down. the assistance to be
given by the Government is to cease
during such Interruption.
"The Pacific Cable Company of New
York. with whom it is proposed that
the contract in question should be
made. is a corporation organized un-
der the laws of the state of New York.
with capital of $10,000,000. The
company proposes to build its cable
by sales of its stock, and does not
propose to issue bonds. The direc-
tors of this company include men
prominent in the New York business
world and interested in the project
of establishing cable communication
between the Unit ed States and Japan
and China, via the Hawaiian Islands.
They first brought the subject to the
attention of Congress in 1870, and
since that time, have, on several oc-
casions, presented the matter, and
have established the Mexican Tele-
graph Company, and the Central and
South American Telegraph Company,
two American Companies which have
successfully connected the United
States with Mexico and most of the
Republics of Central and South Ame-
rica.
"These companies have in success
| full operation about $4,000 miles of ca
BILE. which are admittedly among the
best managed cable properties in the
world. IT will therefore be seen
that it is proposed to have the Unit.
ed States contract with people who
are thoroughly familiar with the ca.
BILE business and who have successful
ly laid and maintained an extensive
| system of cables

FATHER LOREAU IS DEAD ITS HAND IS CALLED
GOVERNMENT MUST PRODUCE
CORRESPONDENTS.
Asked for All Letters Between Ha-
waiian and United States Admins
tratons Relating to Registry.

The Government has been called on
to show its hand in the matter of the
new registry bill. Senator Water
house presented a resolution which
was adopted. calling for all the cor
respondcnce between this government
and that of the United States relating
to the registry of vessels. The reso-
luton is a. follows:
Resolved, That the Minister of For
eigu Aifairs be requested to furnish
for the use of the Senate copies of any
and all correspondence between the
governments of the United States and
Hawaii on the subject of the regstra-
ton of foreign vessels under the lla-
waiian flag.
The argument for the bill has all
along been that the United States
government wanted it in order that
annexation should not be antagonized.
Minister Damon made the report re-
quired by the Constitution as to the
$4,000 appropriated by the Council
of State for the expenses of President
Dole and his party on their trip to

as government realization.

grades and sidewalks in Honolulu aud
