 1859. A submarine telegraphic cable to connect England with British India
 was laid through the Red sea and Ara bian sea to Kurrachea, India, having q total length of 3,043 nautical miles. but with several intermediate landings. Some portions Of the line worked sat isfaotorily for thirty days, and it socn proved c0mplete failure.
 1860. Elaborate study of the entire subject of submarine telegraphs and the construction Of cables was made by a committee appointed by the Brit isb beard of trade, resulting in an ex- pre5siOn Of the belief that submarine telegraphy might, despite past failures, become successful and profitable if sufficient care were exercised in con structing, laying and managing the cable.
 1861. A submarine telcgraphic cable, which had been manufactured with great care, was laid across the Medit- erranean from Malta to Alexandria, Egypt, with intermediate landing places at TripoIi and Benghazi. The cable consisted Of seven copper wires stranded together, covered with sev- eral coatings of gutta percha alter mated with ether non-ccnducting and waterproof material, and in turn coy- cred and protected by eighteen wires wound spiralIy about this core. This cable proved a permanent success and went into general operation shortly af- ter it's construction. The speed Of transmission, which on the Atlantic cable and shorter submarine lines had been three words per minute, was brought up to ten words per minute on each separate section, but was only three words per minute when all the sections were united and operated as 2 single line of 1 ,331 miles.

THE HAWAIIAN BILL
EffcCfS Of inc F8iIuFe Of Con

Representative FL I LhaIrman Of inc Foreign Affairs Committee Says Serious Questions Will Arise. Confidence in ffen in Power.

Washington. March 11.-One of the measures which failed of enactment Ill the last session of congress was the bill to provide Q form of government fer Hawaii The bill was reported to the house and senate, but did not pass either body. The common belief was that the sugar trust prevented it's pas sage in the senate, and the knowledge that it would fail in the upper body de- tered the house from wasting time in it's consideration.
 There has been considerable specuIa- ton among the friends in congress of Hawaii as to the effect upon conditions in the islands of the failure to enact the legislation demanded. Every one grants that there will be much em- barTasmcnt, but to what extent, no one can approximate at this time
 Representative Hit of Illinois, chair man Of the eommittee on foreign af- fairs in the last congress and who was one of the Hawaiian commissioners Is probably as c0nversant with Hawaiian affairs as any public man in Washing ton. MT, Hit was asked today by q reporter for an expression of opinion upon what may be expected in Hawaii between this time and the reassemb- ling Of congress, and the enactment Of proper laws.
 T am by no means inclined to take a hopeless view Of the situation,7 ? sald MT. Hit. Tn the first place, too much trust and confidence cannot be placed in the men who are now at the head of affairs in Hawaii. They are men O. ability, of experience in handling the government. They have been tried in the fire and have stood the test. We may depend upon it that they will cor duct the business of the government IT the best manner possible.
 It is true that embarrassment will arise. For instance, slIict consTuc- ton of the existing law, or rather ab- serce Of lay. would permit criminals to go free, because of a conflict ba- tween the United States I2aza. and the local regulations. But 1t is not to be considered that any such construction will be placed upon the case. The courts will see to it that public order is conserved.
 Another great source of difficulty will be in the determination of admir- alty questions. As a matter of fact. they will not be determined, but the people will have to worry along as best they can. As for customs ques- tions, think the President will have sufficient power, in the absence of specific legislation to settle them.
 T believe that when the next con Gross convenes, it will be possible to secure consideration for the Hawaiian bill and to enact q comprehensive law for the islands. In the meantime, the ability and integrity of the men in charge of the govarpment thero will b2 3 sufficient safeguard for the interests of the people"

 Being Made for a General Ameri- can Advance Upon inc FilipinoS.

Washington, March 1.-The war de- Dartment today issued the following; Adjutant-GeneraTs Office, Washing ton, D. C., March II, 1899.
 To the Commanding General of the
 East, Governors Island, New York:
 The following ca53egram has been received from General Otis:
 Manila is not g safe place place for officers families. Greas Difficulty is experienced in caring fo- those now here, and their safety is one Cf the chief causes of anxiety. Officers fam flies should remain i'll the United States
 Under such conditions the secretary of war regrets that no families of of ficers or enlisted men will be permit ted to accompany the troops.
 It was positively denied in the ad- jutaDt-genel aTs office today that any dispatch had been received f-om Gen eral Otis regarding conference with sCeneral I-aw5on. It is well understood that General Otis has only been wait ing for the arrival cf the remainder of his achievements to inaugurate an active campaign, though the depart ment has heard nothing from him on this subject. The war department, ac- ccrding to it's officials, it awaiting with quite as much interest as the pub1ic some definite news from the Philip pines which will show just how Gen e-al Otis intends to utilize General Lawton and his endorsements in the campaign against the natives.
 It has been quite generally nnder- stood, without official confirmation, however, that General Lawton on his arrival will be assigned to active com mand Of the operations in the field. leaving General Otis more time for the administrative duties of the military government, in which position he cor responds to General Brooke in Cuba. The fact is that none save very gen eraI instructions have been sent to General Otis and the war departAer; ayers that t ras net tied tho com manGing seeorzl'a Land 7Eita 2jly hard and fast orders.
 The p.obl6ili1.e5 are that General Lawton will take q very active part in the offensive campaign soon to begin. | His training in Ind n fighting has pe- culia-ly fitted him for his present com mand and General Otis is well ac- Quainted Mth lis capabilities.
