HAWAIIAN CABLE.
Argument In Behalf Made BY q
New York Paper.

New York Journal of Commerce.)
The Hawaiian cable has become a
matter of necessity. While our rela-
tons with Hawaii were purely COM
mercial the only use of cable was a
commercial use, and II that was not
sufficient to justify the laying OF 1t
there was no reason why the national
revenues should be devoted to the pur-
pose. But now that Hawaii belongs to
the United States we must. for polit-
ical as well as commercial reasons,
maintain close communication with 1t.
and II the commercial uses of the cable
are not enough to pay for It. It must
depend on It's political value for the
means OF its construction. The Gov
eminent maintains postal communica-
ton with Arizona and Idaho for pollt-
ical as we'll as commercial reasons, and
regardless OF the paucity OF returns.
Where commerce has not constructed
routes that the Government can utilize
as post routes the Government creates
the means Of communication. The same
principle will compel 1t to provide In
the near future for telegraphic COM
munication with Hawaii and the Phil
ippines.

THE RELICS OF BATTLE.
Bones of Seventeen Men Unenrfhed
mt Gettysburg.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Sept. 24.-Workmen
on the battlefield found yesterday afternoon
the bones of seventeen Union soldiers bur-
led about a foot under the ground along
the southwestern slope of Culp's Hill. The
men were making gutter along the new
avenue which runs from Spangler's Spring
to Slocum Avenue, near where that ave-
ough examination of the locality was made.
resulting in finding bones sufficient to make
seventeen complete skeletons. The large
number of United States belt plates found
warrants the assertion that they were
Union men.
The spot where the bones were found
is where the 147th Pennsylvania, Fourth
New York. and Fifth Ohio Regiments
fought over during the fight of July 2,
1863. and is also near the Spangler Spring,
where. under the cover of darkness, both
Union men and Confederates were re-
freshed during lull in the battle. The
bones are now in the keeping of the su-
perintendent of the National Cemetery.
Tomorrow a physician will assert them
into complete skeletons. Each supposed
corpse will then be placed in a small
wooden box and buried in new part of
the cemetery, because of the crowded con-
dition of the unknown" plot in the ceme-
terry, where 1900 soldiers are buried.
What makes the finding of the bones I'M
usual is the fact that when the National
Cemetery was instituted the fall after the
battle, thorough search of the field was
made for bodies, and it was supposed at
that time that all the remains of Union
men killed in the battle had been inferred
in the cemetery.

A FACULTY RESIGNS.
Troubles in the Medical Department
of n University.

BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. 24.-The trou-
bic that has been brewing in the medical
department OF the University Of Vermont
for year or more has eliminated in the
resignation of the entire medical faculty.
The beginning of the difficulty was the
failure Of the medical faculty year ago
last summer to re-elect DIR. A P Grinnell
as dean. position which he had held for
many years, DR.. H c. Tinkham being
elected to the position. This action
aroused much bad feeling between DR..
Grinnell and the remainder of the faculty,
the students as a rule taking the side Of
DR.. Grinnell. At the close of the college
year a majority of the faculty of the med
ieal department formally requested DR..
Grinnell to resign his chair OF theory and
practice This he declined to do.
The faculty then called the attention Of
the trustees of the university to the matter
in a written document charging DR.. Grin
nell with insubordination and general DISC
bedience of orders and asking that he he
removed. The trustees referred the matter
to a committee of Judge 7. D. Wales, Hon.
f. Field, Mayor Robert Roberts, Dr. W.
Seward Webb, and former Gov. f. ]. OTms-
bee. 1t was decided that the resignation
of the entire faculty would be the bsst way
out OF the matter The faculty theTeupon
resigned, leaving the trustees free TO re-
organize the department as they chose. The
members of the governing board who re-
signed are Drs A. F. A. King, of Wash
ington, d. c.; A. P. Grinnell, of Burins
ton, VT; r. A. Witthaus, of New York; j.
II. Jackson, of Barre; A. NJ. Phelps. of New
York; H. c.. TinkhaIn OF Burlington, and
j. Q. Jenne, of St. Adams.

War and Gold.

The peace-at-any- price party in Eng
land is acting as the similar element
did in this country just before the out
break Of the Spanish war Stead assails
Chamberlain in lurid pamphlet and likens
him to Mercier. Other Liberals declare
that no casus beIli exists and that ii would
be tyranny and murder to make any hos
tile movement against the virtuous and
peaceful Beers But, underneath all this
froth, il is painfully apparent that public
opinion is convinced of the hopelessness of
not now retire from the contest without
realizing all the demands of Sir Alfred
Miner To do so would be to forfeit the
last bit of English prestige in South Africa
On the other hand, the adhesion OF the
Orange Free State to their cause has SO
puffed up the Transyaal burghers, it is
hardly probable that Kruger could now
control them if he wanted to. They know
that they have splendid equipment OF
field artillery, and two hundred and fifty
trained German gunners to serve it. They
do not realize that their loose volunteer
organization, in which troops are not even
brigaded, if we are not mistaken, will neu-
tralize the advantage Of this latently pow
erful arm. And they are crazy to make
movement into Natal before the British
endorsements can be landed in that To-
cality.
Should this idea be acted upon, it is pos
sible that immediate consequences would
be unpleasant for the Empire. Not only
might there be serious military reverse
TO start with, but the moral effect of such
an accident might be to demoralize ex-
changes, lead TO an outward gold movement
from the United States; compel large ship
ments of gold coin to South Africa; stop
the source of supply for Lord Curzon's
monometallie adventure in India, and DEM
onstrate 10 the world the faIlacy of the
theory that there is enough gold currency
in existence and use TO serve the needs OF
high politics and commerce, when any
disturbing factor, like even small war,
happens along to intimidate capital.

THE coLUMB1A,s SAILS.
How the Steel Boom Affects the
Sloop's Compass.

S1oop's Compass.
BRISTOL. r. L., Sept. 24-It is the gen.
eral belief here that when the Columbia
meets the Shamrock her white sides viii
have disappeared and she will present an
entire surface of glistening bronze When
Mr.. Iselin was asked ''Will the Columbia
enter the cup races with unpainted sides ?"
lie replied: What Is to be- done is ar
ranged. l propose to keep the matter to
myself for the present" Mr. Iseiin de-
cidcd to unbend the new mainsail tried in
the bay yesterday, and in its place have
another one brought from the sail loft and
mainsail made for the Columbia and was
used while racing the first part of August
1t had been reftted and when hoisted yes
terday afternoon showed a pretty good
set.
A new club topsail was brought from the
sail loft yesterday afternoon and set. Mr..
Iselin then took turn around the Co
lumbia in "a small boat to observe the
manner in which her sails set. The top
sail was a trifle slack on the head, like
all the topsaiIs made for the Columbia.
but otherwise it was all right. While the
steel boom of the Columbia has many ad-
vantages and is superior to a wooden boom
in every point, it has one disadvantage 1t
forms steel attraction OF such magnitude
that the compass on the Columbia has never
been reliable. The swinging of the boom
back and forth over the compass has had
the effect that such a mass OF steel might
naturally be expected to have. The men
at the wheel can never tell whether or not
the compass is right, and as the Shamrock
has a similar boom, ii is regarded as certain
that the same trouble has been experienced
on board the challenger. This defect was
also noticed on the Defender, the first OF
the big sloops to have steel boom, al
though it was not apparently so seriously
regarded as on the Columbia.
AS the courses in the cup races must be
sailed by compass, and as the defections
would prove serious in the event of a close
race one of the fastest seagoing tugs OF
New York Harbor will be used for mark
ing the course for the yachts. This boat,
which can steam fourteen Knots an hour,
will sail the course by compass either ahead
or astern of the yachts according to the
course and the wind. When the yachts tack.
the shippers will always be able to tell
the line of the course by watching this tug,
which will carry signal to distinguish it
from the other boats of the following fleet.
This tug will also show a signal when each
leg of the course has been covered.
NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 24-The cup de-
fender Columbia arrived here this noon
from Bristol in tow Of her tender, the st.
Michaels, and picked up her moorings in
Brenton's Cove. Mr.. c. Oliver Iselin came
ashore, returning on board late in the
aternccn, when a line was again passed to
the ST. Michaels and she started on her
voyage to New Rochelle. AS she passed out
to sea her fore staysail was set to steady
her as it was quite rough outside. The
Columbia is now ready for her contests
with the Shamrock for the Americas Cup.

American conscription Abroad.
(From the Philadelphia Record.)

AA4tAA%NilAN ANNNSA~"/
The right of one State to impress the citizens
of another into its armies and navies has been dis
puted by the United States from the beginning
Of their history. Although we were a eompara-
lively weak nation in 1872, we challenged the
power OF Great Britain in preference 10 submitting
TO the orcible enlistment of American sailors into
the British service; and the principle we then
contended FOR has been adopted into the law of
nations Germany and the other military powers
of Europe have acknowledged the legality of the
principle in the case of former subjects who have
become naturalized Americans, even when reason
able grounds for suspicion existed that the latter
expatriated themselves mainly for the purpose of
escaping military service. The conscription OF a
bona fide citizen of the United States by Germany
or by any Other foreign authority would be re-
sisted with all the force at command. The
South African Republic claim exceptional
rights and the Communicating OF Americans
by Boer field cornet to fight in the Transvaal
army, or to hew wood and draw water for the
same, could not and would not be permitted.
The dignity of American citizenship must be
maintained as strenuously in the Transvaal as
anywhere else

Domestic Service.

(fr0m the 1nlauelphla LeuBtT-J
New York and Chicago report a great scarcity
of women for domestic service. In Chicago the
sfamine" has become so serious that an effort
has been made to substitute male for female la
Dor, at least in the kitchen, but after a short
trial it has been found irnpracticable, and the
demand for female domesties has been renewed.
1t is estimtaed that there are vacancies for at
least 5000 women in the households OF that city
at present; while the situation in New York is
said to be nearly, If not quite, as bad. The
cause is probably to be found in the wide employ
ment of women in stores and factories of all kinds,
for it is well understood that women, especially
young women, will choose almost any other Kind
of labor, no matter how hard, in preference to
domestic service. The latter offers, in so many
cases as to make it practically the rule better
homes, better food and even better clothing than
the former yet they choose what is apparently
the less desirable, with a unanimity which makes
it certain that these advantages are overbalanced
by some undesirable conditions. The way then
TO remove the trouble is to ascertain what these
conditions are and remedy them. Perhaps every
housewife can do that best for herself.

Practice VS.. Theory.


While the theorists and publicsts are devoting
their superior minds to the problem of eliminat-
ing trusts by legislation, some of the plain prac-
tical men or affairs, to whom language affords no
refuge consolation, are going at the task in a
decidedly simple and wholly American way. The
Dispatch" laid down the prediction recently
that Whine The discussion of trusts from a public
point OF vie@ is good thing, far as it goes,
the first and most substantial relief from excessive
charges will come from two entirely different
sources. Primarily, it will come from unenl-
poyed capital. on capital drawing only 10 4
per cent, breaking into the various trust fields,
to share the big trust profits. This capital, too
will be directed by men of experience-for the
most part men who were bought out by the
trusts, but who do not care TO permit their lives
to rust out in idleness, under the age of forty
fifty, or sixty years. as the case may be. Second,
and urgent pressure upon the trust pre-
serves, viii come from manufacturers and large
purveyors and distributors, standing between the
people and those trusts which control and supply
the raw material for industrial or commercial un-
dertakings.
