A Pacific ocean submarine cable Ions
Ienough TO reach from San Francisco
Auckland would cost SIG, 200, 900, and
the vessels, depots and laying of the
cable are not included in this figure.
This is what Professor George David
Ison told an interested audience in the
Academy of Sciences last evening The
lecture was under the auspices of the
Geographical Society of the Pacific and
began with prelude on deep-sea sound
| ing and life. The lecturer stated that
enough was known of life in the ocean
depths to show how little is known
"A whole world of fishes,' said he,
come to the surface of the ocean at
night and return to the depths of sew
eral hundreds of fathoms at day break
Fish follow zones of temperature, and
Norwegian as we'll as French fisher
men have found a thermometer as use
full as a hook or net in catching fish.
There are deep-sea carnivorous mol
lusks which can never be obtained
lalive, because they live at such depths
and under such pressure that when
brought to the surface they are shape
less masses; they literally fall to pieces.
large majority of deep-sea crustacea
have lost their eyes entirely or at most
have but rudimentary organs of sight.
On the other hand, the faculty Of vi
sion in some deep-sea fish is very re-
markable. They have intensely lu-
minous fins to guide them, or carry
beacons on their heads
These were some of the statements
made by Professor Davidson in the
course of his comment as to discoveries
lmade by different deep4sea exploration
expeditions. Then he turned his atten-
ton to submarine cables, and gave a
rapid review of what had been done
|since the first cable was successfully
laid across the Atlantic in 1858. The
lecturer said that the war with Spain

alone Of the Hawaiian Islands but

sub-Pacific cable a necessity. The dis
tances, however, are enormous, the
knowledge of the sea bottom very limit
ed, and the risk of submarine earth
quakas great. The longest cable at
present is $500 miles" said he, 'sand its
greatest depth is $500 fathoms. The
shortest cable distance via Honolulu
to San Bernardino straits and Manila
would be 1925 miles, and would cost
at least 81 200 mile As 10 per cent
must be allowed for slack, the length
actually laid Of such a cable would be
not less than 200 miles, and the cost
50 ,240 900 If the cable be continued
to Japan another $1,50O,O00 must be
added, and if to Auckland the total cost
of the cable would be about SIG, 200, 600.
Plans are being put in proper shape
by the United States Government,
however, and the cable will some day
be a fact"
Professor Davidson gave an account
of the laying of cables and their dimen-
sions at different depths. incidentally
he stated that the Farallones would
not be a good place for a cable land
ing; but that the submarine valley of
the bay of Monterey would be admir- !
ably suited for such a landing.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 21-In
view OF the agitation against the re-
ty-sixth and De Haro streets, Mayor
Phelan has deemed it proper to MAKE
public his correspondence with Senator
Perkins, to whom he addressed a letter
on April LIST, asking him to use his
influence to secure permission from the
Federal authorities to transfer the lep-
ers to the settlement at Molokai
In reply Senator Perkins stated that
that the support of the lepers was an
unjust burden upon the people of San
Francisco, and gave assurances of his
cooperation in the effort to effect their
opinion, however, that the Federal
authorities would decline to grant the
desired permission on the ground that
the Hawaiian laws were still and would

with the trusts because it furnishes an

SHALL WE REGRET IT?

owe trust that the antiexpansionists
will stuff their ears full OF cotton so they
cannot hear the reverberations Of the
Dewey jubibee," says the Bulletin, but
our esteemed contemporary fails to tell
why the Dewey jubilee should not be a
source OF qualification and pride to every
American. The war in which Dewey
won his immortal laurels was begun and
ended with a remarkable unanimity. 1t
was a war for humanity, not for partisan
gain, and if any such be extracted from
it, it will not be by the republican party.
That party was forced into the war with
spain by the democratic members OF con-
gress, who unanimously voted millions
for the freedom OF the Latins in Cuba,
not for the subsection OF the Malays in
the Philippines. If the glorious victory
OF Dewey in Manila bay ever becomes a
source Of regret to the true American,
that regret will be caused by the republic
can party, should that party, as such,
ever ratiiy the policy outlined for Mckin.
ley by the Anglo American Chinese syn
dictate, which may be said to be doubtful
as yet. The HERALD has too much con-
fidence in the patriotism of the rank and
file of the republican party to believe
they can be led or driven from the safe
moorings OF the early fathers OF the coun-
try by the exploiting money sharks now
seeking to control their party. 1t be-
lieves that the spirit animates a majority
OF them that controlled the soul of the
martyr Lincoln when he said:
SIN those [earyl days our Decoration
of independence was held sacred by all,
and thought to include all but now \
it is assailed and sneered at and
construed, and hawked at and torn, till
if its trainers could rise from their graves,
they could not at all recognize it. All
the powers of earth seem rapidly combin-
ing against him for the negro, read the
Filipinol. Mammon is after him, ambi-
ton follows, philosophy follows, and the
theology of the day is fast joining the
encyclopedias, vol. l, p. 23l.)

HAVE CONFIDENCE.

We are called upon daily by newspaper
organs of the administrator and by po-
litical favorites of President Mckinley to
have confidence in his goodness and
Judgment, and all will be we'll. This
,rush may be very good diet for republi-
cans, but democrats are more jealous Of
their own Judgment, and remember, con-
corning confidence in public men, what
| jefferson said:
at would be dangerous delusion, were
our confidence in the men of our choice
to silence our fears for the safely OF our
rights. Confidence i, everywhere the
parent of despoism. Free government
is founded in jealousy, and not in conf
icnce. 1t is jealousy and not confidence
which prescribes limited constitutions to
bind down those whom we are obliged to
trust with power. Our constitution has
accordingly fixed the limits to which,
and no further, our confidence may go.
In questions OF power, then, let no more
be heard of confidence in man, but bind
him down from mischief by the chains
of the constitution"
Let any honest advocat, OF confidence
in party leaders remember the recent acts
of the present administration in respect
to the press in the Philippines, and the
attempt to suppress free speech in this
country; let him ponder over the nature
Of imperialism and despotism as mani
tested by the leaders of the republicans,
and then let him say candidly whether it
was not wise to fix in the constitution
limits to the government It created, and
whether we should be wise in destroying
those limits, or in tamey allowing any
man or body OF men on earth to override
them for the sake OF party expediency.

Bryan is stronger than any party. The
American people recognize him as the
defender of their interests against the
money kings, trusts and monopoies.
They remember that his candidacy drove
the money kings and monopolies into one
party to oppose his election. They note
that the money kings in the Democratic
party are as much opposed to his renom-
ination as the money kings and trusts in
the Republican party. These facts make
him at least million votes stronger
than any other candidate that can be
named by either party.

One of the amusing things in connec-
ton with the boundary question is the
Canadian threat to exclude Americans
from the gold fields in Canada and the
complaint that nearly all the miners are
from this side. If the Canadians would
reflect one moment on the Transvaal
miners, nearly all British, and England
threat to 90 to war on their account, there
would be less heard on this subject. Brit
ish miners in the Transvaal have many
more privileges than do American miners
