PROPOSED PACIFIC CABLE.
SENDS A MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS-.
Wants Immediate Action Taken
for Telegraphic Commune
cation With the Islands.


WASHINGTON, Feb 10.-The Presi-
transmitted to Congress to-day is as
follows:
"As a consequence of the ratification
of the treaty Of Paris by the Senate of
the United States, and it's expected rat
'ification by the Spanish Government,
the United States will come into pos
session of the Philippines Islands on the
farther shores of the Pacific. The Ha-
waiian Islands and Guam being United
States, territory, and forming conven-
lent stopping places on the way across
this sea, the necessity for speedy cable
communication between the United
States and all the Philippine Islands
has become imperative.
"Such communication should be es
tablished in such way as to be wholly
under the control of the United States,
whether in time of peace or war. AT
present the Philippines can be reach
ed only by cables which pass through
many foreign countries, and the IIa-
waiian Islands and Guam can only be
communicated with by steamers, in
volving delay in each instance of at
lCdot d wen. 1ACSC PlCSCIl SiSiA9
should not be allowed to continue for
moment longer than is absolutely
necessary
THE time has now arrived when a
cable in the Pacific must extend as far
as Manila, touching at the Hawaiian
Islands and Guam on the way. Two
methods of establishing this cable COM
munication at once suggest themselves.
First, construction and maintenance OF
such cable at the expense Of the
United States Government, and, second,
construction and maintenance of such
a cable by a private United States
corporation under such laws as Con-
gress shall impose.
''I do not make any recommendation
to Congress as to which of these meth
DDS would be the more desirable. A
cable of the length of that proposed re-
quires so much time for construction
and laying that it is estimated that at
least two years must elapse after giving
the order for the cable before the. en-
tire system could be successfully laid
and put in operation Further deep SEA
soundings must be taken without the
Hawaiian Islands before the best route
lOI tIlC CdDiC Sdn NC SClCNtCo. SAAeaNA
these circumstances it becomes para
mount necessity that measures should
be taken before the close of the pres
ent Congress to provide such means as
may seem suitable for the establish
ment of cable system.
st recommend the whole subject to
the careful consideration Of the Con-
gress. and to such prompt action as
may seem advisable.

ANOTHER CHARGE.
A New Complication in the Kid

/ The supposed kidnapping case of Lou
Ying. the Chinese woman who was ar
rested in this city Thursday night on
a warrant for grand larceny, has taken
on a new phase, and the theater of ac-
ton has been transferred to Marysville.
Ed. Welsh, who claimed to be a Con-
stable, and to be taking her to friends
in Portland, remained here after the
arrest. Yesterday morning Constables
Harris and Bishop arrived from San
Jose with a certified copy of the war;
rant, and the woman was delivered to
them On the same train came a law
yer named O'Neill, who represents the
Bing Hong Tong Society of San Jose,
and the woman's husband came with
him.
Then came the strange part of the af-
fair The San Jose officers We're sup
posed to want to- take the woman back
to San Jose, but they procured car
riage and started out across the Grant.
ONeill followed them until he was sat
isfied they We're heading for Marysville,
and then came back here and jumped
aboard the Marysville train, which was
Just about to start. When it arrived
at Antelope it was tagged. and the
Constables and the woman got aboard.
When the train arrived at Marys-
vile there was fun. O'Neill pro-
cured a writ of habeas corpus.
and the woman was taken from
the train. Now the Sheriff of Yuba
County is sadly Illuminating over the
willy ways of the heathen Chinee, and
realizing that he has white elephant
on his hands for which he does not
know the owner. The present outlook
is that some one. is liable to get into

Judge Hughes said that under the
ruling of the Supreme Court he had
no alternative but to dismiss the cita-

however, that in his opinion any man

der. G. Jay Williams, Rose Stuart, Mrs.
Annie Yeamans, Harry Webster, Fred
w. Peters, Gertrude Roosevelt Blanche
Chapman, Rose Snyder, Dorothy Usner
and Jessie Conant. The story fss'Why
Smith Left Home" is: Smith, pros
porous self-made contractor, has been
recently married to the girl Of his heart,
dashing, clever young woman 90
years his junior Business had pre-
vented their taking the usual wedding
journey and to Smiths inexpressible
dismay all their friends and relatives
had thought it an excellent time to drop
in on them and stay a few weeks, just
to show how companionable they were.
By various methods, Smith had man
aged to get rid of them all with the
exception of his maiden sister of about
! 40, and to get her off his hands he has
invited her old and faithful admirer,
Major Duncombe, to visit them. The
night before the opening of the play
the Major had proposed to Miss Smith,
and her brothers joy on hearing the
news is SO great that he Inadvertently
reveals the reason why he had given
the invitation to the Major; the re-
suit being that the faithful suitor is
rejected. To make. things pleasant
Mrs. Smiths brother, a young man still
at college, elopes and brings his bride
to visit them, and to fill Smiths cup
of happiness to overfowing his wife's
aunt, who is an aunt by nature but o
mother-in-law by instinct, also swoous
down on them, accompanied by her
| husband. Then Smith begins to plan
how he can get rid of them all effective
| ly, but gracefully, and it is around his
efforts to do this that the author has
built the main series of complications.
