cided upon the Pac1nc CaDIe Company.
Hepburn, in support of the bill, said
the theory upon which it was framed
was to enlist American capital in this
enterprise. ALI the money the Gov
ernment was now expending went to
foreign companies. To and from Ma
nila we were paying $1.S5 a word to
one company and $1-1O to another.
Shafroth wanted to know what OBJ
lection there would be to allowing
competition.
Hepburn said there was no other
American company which would accept
the terms of this bill. He did not
think the Government itself should
embark in this enterprise. There was
only one project in which he believed
there should be Government owner
ship, the Nicaraguan Canal. That was
a gigantic enterprise, beyond the power
of private enterprise.
Corliss (R) of Michigan, who was
member of the committee that re-
ported the bill, opposed it vigorously.
He charged that the subsidy granted
by the Government in this bill, 81 ZOO,
600 in total amount, would construct
the cable. President Scrymser was now
at work trying to get a subsidy from
Japan The company was gigantic
monopoly. 1t had been seeking subsi-
dies from Congress for fifteen years.
He believed in a government cable.
One of the chief elements of England's
strength, he said, was the fact that
she pushed her lines of communication
around the world The Government
had already gone into the business.
Under the direction of the War De-
partment we were now engaged in lay
ing 20 miles of cable in the Philip
pines. He produced a contract which
he said was made between the Ha-
waiian Republic July 2, 1898, a month
before Hawaii was annexed, and
President Scrymser, giving the Pacific
Gable Company an absolute monopoly
of landing cables in that island for
twenty years. Scrymser. he said. had
slipped over and obtained this ccntracr
just before sovereignty was transferred
But President Dole, he said. had in
sisted upon a provision to the effect
that this contract should not he bind
ing if the American State Department
should within six months express its
disapproval of the contract. Corliss
said he had personally seen the Sec
retary Oh state ABOUT LHe Hldllf1T, dIlu
he announced prior to January 2, 1899,
Secretary Hay had declared his dis
approval, and the contract was there
fore void (Applause.)
Speaking of the necessity OF cable
communication in time of war, he
spoke of the fact that Dewey had been
obliged as a military act to cut the
Manila cable. It was cut for months.
How much do you suppose we will
have to pay for interrupting cable
communication" he asked. '1 dare
not tell you, the sum is so large, but
will say that we were paying during
the war $1,000 day in cable tolls
Corsiss said he would offer suhsti-
tute measure for the construction of a
government cable to Hawaii and the
Philippine Islands.
Hepburn replied briefly to some OF
Corliss' statements He thought the
provisions of the bill, guarded as they
We're, better than embarkation on the
untried field of Government ownership
Without action the committee rose.
Hepburn attempted to get unanimous
consent for resuming consideration OF
the bill next Tuesday, but Bailey OBJ
| jected.
At SIS the House adjourned.

MRS. ROSIE GAGNE.
Her Mysterious Disappearance Has
Been Solved.

CHICAGO. Jan. 1S.-The mysterious
disappearance of Mrs. Rosie Gagne
was solved to-day when Gertrude val
lace, the supposed sister whom Mrs.
Gagne was to meet at the depot, con-
fessed to the police authorities that
she and Rosie Gagne are one ard the
same. She donned short dresses and
braided her hair, she said, to make her
appear younger. All the talk about in
heritance, she declared, was without
foundation, as she had simply made
disguise to get away from her hus-
band, of whom she was afraid Mrs.
Gagne insisted she had no sister. and
that her husband had failed to recog-
nize her. She has a slight defect in
one of her eyes, however, which Gagne
says his wife did not have.

FIRE IN A COLORADO MINE.
Many Of the Workmen Have 6
Marrow Escape From Death.

CASTLE, Jan. 1S.-The Wheeler
mine. one of the big properties Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, was
discovered to be on fire just after the
n ght shift started work. An alarm
was sounded and the men called out.
Many had great difficulty iii escaping
on account of the deadly fumes that
filled the entries and could not get out.
A report of an explosion was heard, and
this seemed to confirm the fears of loss
of life.
The town was aroused, and there was
great excitement among the families
Of the miners. Word was sent to the
company Superintendent at Denver to
come on at once.
The number of men in the mine last
night was about sixty. Ten men were
working beyond where the FIRE is sup
posed to be. All the miners escaped.
The mine officials think they will be
able to control the fire without flooding
the mine.

CENTRAL PACIFIC DEBT.
The Whole Matter Of Settlement in
the Hands Of the Commission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. = Senator
Gear, Chairman of the Committee on
Pacific Railroads, said yesterday:
The whole matter of the settlement
of the Pacific Railroad debt has been
relegated to the commission and is
making satisfactory progress toward
final settlement of the Government s
claim. I have no idea that Congress
will ever again be called upon to legis-
late directly with the Central Pacific.
/ propose to offer an amendment te the
deficiency bill providing for a settle
ment of the debt of the Sioux City
and Pacific Railroad by the same COM
mission. That proposition will be in
corporated in the deficiency bill, and I
believe that will constitute about all
the legislation likely to be enacted at
this session affecting any of the Ia
cific railroads.

VIKING.
June 2e, 1899.

This is a warm country-meaning
the sun making it warm for the peo-
pie, and not the people making it
warm for each other.
Some finishing work is going on
at the church. This will make it
more attractive for those who at
tend the annual mission meeting to
he held there next Saturday and
Sunday, July LIST and End. i
Rev.. A. Tornell is repainting his
house this day, making it several
tints lighter than before.
A school picnic, held ON June 16,
was we'll attended. The grounds
selected were by the north Snake
river, and many, if not all, who at
tended, seemed to enjoy the outing.
The children, many of whom had
not seen such steep hills and wild
scenery, were in a fit of ecstasy, SO
to speak. Refreshments OF various.
kinds were taken along and served
under the shade OF a leafy tree.
Regular school was suspended to-
day. The "school-ma'am though,
tried to explain to certain town Off
GERS, that certain canine animal,
which name is "Carlo," and haunts
our western public roads, making
unharmOnious music in our ears,
and slyly coming rushing silently
from behind our buggy and chasing
our otherwise gentle and docile
horse with one brave bound'' to
one side-such an animal we urged
must be a public nuisance, and
should be kept off the road for ever
and aye. By-the-by, some did not
u'3derstand what Il public nuisance
is, so here is Sir William Black
stones, the celebrated Judge and law
commentor, definition OF a nuisance:
"Whatsoever unlawfully annoys or
does any damage to another is
NUISANCE, and may be abated, that
Is, removed by the party aggrieved,
SO as he commits no riot in doing
so. If house or wall is erected so
near to mine that. it stops my an
cient light. which is PRIVATE NU1-
sANcE, I may enter my neighbor's
land, and peaceably pull it down; or,
if a new gate be erected across
public highway, which is a COMMON
(public) NUISANCE, any private indi-
vidual passing that way may re-
move it, Blackstone: Comment,
book ILL.,, Oh. 1.
Now, good people, this dog is very
annoying whenever he comes -and
he used to come quite often-to the
road. We say that he is VERY an
noying; yes, he is so ABSOLUTELY
annoying that his annoyance has a
dangerous quality in it. Still we
have been lucky this spring, because
the buggy has not tipped once, no,
not even once, yet, from his annoy
ance, although it could have tipped
at least twice from his annoyance,
if circumstances had been a little
altered. Circumstances alter cases,
you know. Bob B.

JOSEPH GRIMES DEAD.

Joe Grimes, one of the best known men
in the West End died last Sunday, aged "a

which he died, at l45s High avenue. He
was educated in St. Patrick's schools.
He was prominent in politics, working
earnestly and actively for his friends, and
though some considered him rough and
spoke lily of him, he was a man of ster-
ling worth, kind hearted and charitable
and among those who really knew him
he was esteemed and respected. His
enemies, if they were really such, were
due to his activity in politics. and not to
any injustice or wrong he ever did to any
one. He was prominent member of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, No. 1, and
was ever foremost in any move to relieve
the poor or suffering He died of Sc

death was unexpected, as no one but his
family knew of his serious illness. His
popularity was attested by the crowds
which visited his home and attended the
funeral from St. Patrick's Church Tues

and father. and leaves wife and three
