should not be allowed to continue for mo-
ment longer than is absolutely necessary.
The time has now arrived when a cable
IN the Pacific must extend far as Manila,
touching at the Hawaiian islands and Guam
on the way. Two methods of establishing
this cable communication at once suggest
themselves. First. construction and main
tenance of such a cable at the expense of
the United States government: aud, second.
construction and maintenance OF such q cable
by private United States corporation, under
such safeguard as congress shall impose.
do not make any recommendation to
congress as to which Of these methods will
be the more desirable. The cable the length
OF that desired requires such length of time
for construction and laying that it Is esti-
mated that at least two years must elapse
after giving the order for the cable before
the entire system could be successfully laid
and put in operation. Further deep-sea
soundings must be taken west of the Ha-
waiian islands before the best route for the
cable can be selected. Under these circum-
stances 1t becomes paramount necessity
that measures should be taken before the
close of the present congress to provide such
means as may seem suitable for the estab-
lishment of cable system. I recommend the
who.s subject to the careful consideration of
congress and to such prompt action as may
be advisable. -"William Mckinley

The question Of the transportation to Cuba
of the $3 900 with which the insurgent
army is to be aid of. and the kinds of money
to be. sent was briefly considered. 1t was
agreed that the C1lbans could have any kind
Of money they wished. whether gold, silver or

PIERRE. S. D., Feb. 10.-(Special.)-
In the house today a favorable report
was returned on the bill for the crea-
ton Of the Office Of commissioner Of
Immigration, with the salary cut to
$1,000 per year. Glass moved an ad-
journment to 1850 o'clock this even
Ing, which was carried, 40 to 33, on roll
call. Bills introduced were: Herring
ton, providing for the manner Of levy
Of special taxes in cities; Copper, reg
ulating the management of pool and
billiard rooms; Woody, dispensary law.
P. D. Munger, a committee clerk, was
instructed to accompany the Plankin-
ton investigation committee. Bills
passed were: To prevent the removal
Of buildings from lots or lands unless
taxes had been paid; appropriating
money for the expense, sale and
lease Of state lands; appropriating
$4,000 for dormitory at the Madison
normal; for the protection Of fish, and
for the announcement Of teachers
reading circles. The only argument Of
note was over a bill to turn the dog
tax into the sheep fund, which was
finally sent back to committee.
The afternoon session Of the senate
started with the bill to divide the state
into congressional districts, which was
killed by a vote Of "a to 15. Hanten
introduced bill to tax all voters be-
tween twenty-one and fifty years Of
age 81 per year as good citizenship

prizes for good character, conduct and
scholarship in the public schools. and
a bill to apply the initiative and the
referendum to cities and municipali-
ties.
The senate passed the house bill fix
ing the terms Of township supervisors
at three years, and a memorial for a
free homestead law. The bills repeal
and making the levy Of county school
tax optional with the county commits
SiOnerS were killed.
Today for the first time this session
the senate met in the morning. Little
was accomplished, however, as a mo-
tion by Mr.. Smith, Of Pennington,
served to take up the time. Mr.. Smith
moved that the Kyle and Pettigrew
resolutions, including his own subst1-
tute, declaring against expansion, and,
in fact, all proceedings in the matter,
be forwarded to the South Dakota reg
iment in the Philippines. In the de-
bate "Volcano" Jones hoped the mo-
ton would not be gagged by the "shys-
ter politicians" in the senate-refer-
ring to the Republican leaders. Mr..
Loomis replied and said that but for
the position Of Jones and the "Repub-
l1can renegade in the United States
senate, Mr.. Pettigrew, and a few like
him, the soldier boys might now be
on their way home"
Smiths resolution and the proceed
ings respecting it were finally tabled
and expunged from the records.
An important resolution by Stiles

adopted. = -.''' -.'-'-.
