A Cable to Hawaii.

Washington, Feb. 25.--The senate COM
mttee on appropriations to-day agreed to
Incorporate a provision in the sundry
civil appropriation bill providing for the
construction of a submarine cable con-
Meeting the United States with the Ha-
waiian islands. The amendment adopted
is the one introduced by Senator Butler
and it provides for the laying of the ca
BILE by the United States and for its SUBJ
sequent ownership by the government. the
navy department to perform the service
and the cable, when completed to be
operated by the postoffice department.
Senator Buffers original proposition
provided for the extension of the cable
to the Philippine islands. but the commit
tee decided not to make provision for this
extension, because of the uncertainty of
tenure of the United States in the last
named islands. Senator Butler made a
statement before the committee showing
that the cable could be laid to Honolulu
for So, 942 600.

characteristics of Nations.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
What are the distinguishing charac-
teristics of the several nations of Eu-
rope? An Italian writer, Mr.. Mantle
gazza, attempts in the current number
of the Nuova Antologia to answer this
question. 1t is a difficult question, he
admits. The greatest difficulty arises
from local prejudices, from which even
the best of men of each nation cannot
quite free themselves Our author
points out all the evil things said by
Germany of France after the Franco
German war, and adds that he was told
by Virchow, who, if anyone, is calm
and unprecedented, that Italian science
was greatly superior to German science
"a Judgment which Mantegazza him
self thinks was as absurd as it was
complimentary. Finally Mr.. Mantle
gazza formulates the following definf-
tions:
Italians-Aesthetic and erotic.
French--Impression inconstant,
erotic.
, Gernans-Ingenious and enthusiastic.
English-Egotistic, religious, proud,
hypocritical.
Spanish--Violent and proud.
Russians-Neurotic.
There is no nation, it will he seen,
which is good, except, apparently, Ger
many.

Will Not Press His Suit,

Washington. Feb 25--The understand
ing among Admiral Schley's friends now
Is that they will not further press the
question of Admiral SIMPSONS advance
ment over Admiral Schley. They will
therefore agree to let the nominations be
confirmed with little if any debate, de-
pending upon further legislation to place
Admiral Schley before the country in the
position which they think he should oc-
cupy. They propose to ask tfat provis-
ion be made for the appointment of two
vice admirals. with the understanding
that Messrs. Schley and Sampson shall
be nominated for the two places thus
created. Admiral Schley told his senator
ial friends that he was willing to trust
his fortunes to their care.

OLD TRAPPERs PASSING AWAY.
There Is No Longer Amy Money in tho
Calling.
Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Trapping as business has about
ended in the eastern states. A few boys
and improvident men still set trars
along the various woods streams of
Pennsylvania, New York and Maine,
but the oldtime trapper is going. The
time was when men had lines of traps
up streams, over ridges and through
swamps for scores of miles, through
densest forest, a steel trap or dead fail,
large enough to hold a mink or marten
every quarter of a mile or So and a
double-spring trap at likely" places
along the line, large enough to hold a
fox, wolf, fisher or other bait thief. A
couple or three bear traps were COM
monty on the line. Every 10 or IL miles
was little shanty, with it's pile of dry
hickory, frying pan, a bag of salt and
stretchers for the skins, all of which
had been prepared in the fall before the
fur was prime.
The longest lines took a week or 10
days to cover. Progress was slow
Snow had to be cleared away from the
traps after a storm, the victims had to
be skinned, the traps reset and rebait-
ed. Deer were shot to supply the bait.
All alone the trapper, with an ak or
rifle and light pack containing food
followed his line by the blaze marks he
had cut on the trees. 1t was a life to
toll and hardship. Sometimes the men
were lost and in the spring, or years
after, their bones would be found with
the rusted AK or rifle. The remunera-
ton was not great, but large enough to
be tempting in the days when a prime
mink brought $40 to $12 each.
The old trappers are mostly dead
The new ones are guides, and trapping
for 800 to $500 a winter is not over
tempting to the men who get So to S.
per day guiding

Accepted the Amendment.

Washington. Feb. 25.-Secretary Alger
visited the senate to-day for the purpose
OF getting the compromise army bill
amended so as to authorize the re-enist-
ment of volunteer soldiers now serving
in the Philippines. When the peace treaty
takes effect the term of service of the
volunteers will expire, and necessarily
there will be an interim before new troops
can be enlisted and transported to the
islands. The secretary thinks that many
of the volunteers would be willing to re-
main during this interim, and the amend
ment he proposes grants authority to
give them this opportunity. The senate
committee on military affairs has signifed
its willingness to accept the amendment

st. Louis, Feb 26.--In the trial Of
Campbell Aligair on the charge of MUIR
der here q decided innovation in crimi-
nal Jurisprudence has been adopted.
Photographs to portray every stage of
action in the course of the assault were
brought forth by the state and allowed
as evidence. The entire tragedy, as
the prosecution presents it, was acted
out before camera. Not only We're the
relative positions shown, but every fea-
ture of the scene was portrayed. When
the pictures were introduced it created

was firm and could not be changed in
his decision.

1T shall not be said Of me-" said Mr..
German, that I would hamper the ad-
m1nistration in any respect. 1t shall
have all the men and all the money to
dispose of the conditions at hand that
it may need"
Mr. German said that if one provlso
were contained in the bill to the effect
that at the expiration of two years the
army should again be reduced to
peace footing of $1,000 men, he would
agree to it.
But whatever the conditions may
be-" he continued, with the accept
ance of the proviso l suggest you will
have an army of 10000 men until four
months after the term of President Nc
Kinley shall have expired. The meas
ure will give him greater power than a
president ever had. 1t is a tender of
greater power than was ever made in
similar circumstances
Mr.. Hawley has asked who was afraid
of the large standing army In reply.
Mr.. German said that every state in
the union was afraid of it. He (Mr
Germany was afraid of it himself.
Such an institution was contrary to the
spirit of our affairs.
McKinley's Good Nature.
He recalled the time when. in 1876
troops were summoned to Washington
at the time of the Hayes Tilden con-
troversy. Il remember the quiet in
timidation of the presence of the
troops" said Mr. German. He had
great personal respect for Mr. McKin-
ley and had no criticism except that
in his good nature he had permitted
weakness and inetficiency in the de-
partments Weakness, l say" re-
peated the senator. Time alone could
reveal whether there had been any
thing else. He was asked to have con-
fidence in the chief executive, but he
could not forget that human nature
was weak. He computed that for next
year the expenditure on account of the
army and navy would aggregate
1859 100000 greater than the total ex-
penditures of the government for 1871
to 1876. He predicted a deficiency of
$1S0,000 900. Then there must be an in
crease of the direct taxation or more
bonds or certificates. Even now |
hear that the secretary of the treasury
is contemplating the issue of more gov
eminent obligations"
Continuing, Mr.. German said the only
question was that of making a perma-
nent increase requiring the action of
all branches of the government to dis
continue. Mr.. Tillman asked if the
Philippine rebellion could not be put
down by volunteers, and Mr.. German
said he saw no reason why it should
not be. But this was not the desire
The wish was to have more shoulder
straps and more men to wear them.
