Britain's Thunder.

LONDON, January 1S.-The country
generally is greatly pleased by an
announcement made by the Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, at Swansea last night,
in which he echoed the previous
declarations of Mr.. Balfour at Man
chester on the Indian policy OF the
Government, and added that the
Ministers were determined, even at
the cost OF war, that the Chinese
commerce should not be closed to
Great Britain.
This declaration is taken as outlin-
ing the Governments position, and
both the Liberal and Conservative
newspapers commend the plain
speaking.

"a settlement of the difficult y

to extend it to Australia for $4,000
additional per year.
He said that during the Venezue'

ment $4,000 for one diplomatic
message, ard no one knew what the
Governments aggregate expense was
in this connection. 1t would take
5000 miles OF cable from San Fran

questioned by the committee as to
the monopolistic features Of his pro-
position. He said his company was

SHALL THE ENGLISH CABLE
TAP HAWAII

Especial Dispatch TO The CALI
New YORK, Noy. pa Washing
ton epecial to the Herald says it is
the desire OF the British Govern
ment that the United States shall
authorize the British company to
land cable on one Of the Hawaiian
Islands, this cable to connect Canada
and Australia. Such authorization
is opposed by the French Govern
ment, on the ground that the laying
OF the cable with British capital
would place Great Britain in con-
troll Of telegrsphic system reach
ing around the entire world, and
that in the event of war before a
message could be transmitted the
British Governments consent would
have to be obtained.
In case Great Britain were en-
gagged in hostilities, diplomat
pointed out to me to-day that it
would be practically impossible for
her enemy to send message over
any cable which did not pass
through British territory, except
that which connects France and
Cape Cod, Mass.
Mr.. Patenotre has made represent.
alton on the subject to Secretary
Sherman, who, l am informed, said
he did not think it would make
much difference il this Government
could use the cable should it so de-
sire, and in case OF necessity an OPP
position line could be established.
French officials, however, point
out that in case OF war between the
United States and Great Britain the
Government would find itself seri-
ously handicapped If a cable were
under British control. Information
has reached here that the agents of
the British company interested in
the cable enterprise and the Consul
General OF Great Britsin in Homo
lulu are making a determined effort
to secure a recommendation from
the Dole authorities to the United
States that the British company be
allowed to land it's cable.
Mr., Sewall, diplomatic representa-
tive of this Government 10 Hawaii,
is wholly opposed to the granting of
such permission, | understand, on
the ground that such action would
be prejudicial to the interests of his
Government, 1t is impossible for
the Dole authorities to give permits
sion to lay cable on account of the
reciprocity treaty between Hawaii
and the United States.
This treaty provides, sit is agreed
on the part of his Hawaiian Majesty
that 30 long as this treaty shall re-
main in force he will not lease or
otherwise dispose of or create lien
upon any port, harbor, or other terri.
tory in his dominions, or grant any
special privileges or rights of use
therein to any other power, state or

a VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
The secret Of ~ Miner In the kion-
dILc GOII EIcIhs.

The Klondike is responsible for the
connection of a chemical compound
which promises 20 rcvolutionilc mining
methods in every section where winter
puts n stop TO operations every year.
The nature Of the chemical is a So
crct, which the inventor will divulgc to
no one. The chemical is simple and
cheap, however, and can he manufac-
tured upon the ground where the mine
is located. The discoycrcr will locate
several mines in the spring. and dovel.
op them the following summer and
winter. No matter how cold the atmoS-
phere. it will not interfere with the
thawing properties Of the wonderful
fluid.
The value Of such a discovery is
readily apparent. II practically con-
quers the inconvenience Of cold and cx.
trcmc temperatures. and does away
with the necessity Of thawiug the
ground by the slow and tedious meth.
cd Of building fires and allowing them
