calamity from Maryland TO Texas.
But Today the Southern newspapers
are talking prosperity, and their local
columns arc ten1ing with announcements
OF old Industries working night and day to
keep mp their orders and now industries
starting Up. With few exceptions no
Southern newspaper ever mentions the
subject OF free silver. and an article which

The North Atlantic squadron. now at

New England coast every summer. when
the vessels ore oftener at anchor OFT New

Admiral Farqular in command of the
home station, expects to accomplish much
good work this winter. especially in view
that the fleet now Under aus command is
composed almost exclusively of battle
SHIPS. The presence of the new Queen
OF the Navy, the magnificent hattleship
Alabama, which Is expected to join the
squadron before its departure, vii! also
be an event of prime interest, as the big
fighter mas never been attached 10 the
feet before and her behavior III squadron

PALIFiC CABLE.
Probable That Present Congress VIII
Nia.c ApprOpri;.t. { r laying II.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.0
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 70
Representative Corliss, OF Michigan, who,
since coming to Congress. has taken great
interest in our colonial possessions,
seems satisfied that a bill providing for
the laying OF q Pacific cable from Seattle,
San Francisco, Portland and ether West
coast cities to Honolulu Hong Kong,
Manila and other points in the Orient,
will become a law at this session of Con-
gress.
Representative Corliss has received as
surances from General Henderson, Speaker
OF the House of Representatives, and
aisotfEom memi.ecs OF the Rules Commits
tee, OF which Mr.. Henderson is chairman
eX-oflicio, that a date will be fixed for the
consideration of the Pacific cable bill
Wnlch Representative Corlss favorS, af-
Ter congress reconvenes in January. The
mere fact that Speaker Henderson and
other distinguished gentlemen, who COM
pose the membership OF the Rules Com
mlttee, have given this promise to Rep
resentatlve Coriiss forashadows the sue
cess of the bill in the lower branch OF
congress Its early passage in the House
would indicate that there will De Il de-
sire on the part Of the senator's to give
thls measure the consideration it de-
serves, ana therefore it will probably
pass this branch OF Congress substanti-
any as 1t comes from the House OF Rep
resehtatlves. The necessity for the pas
sage OF bill making the required APP
preparations for the laying of this cable
mas been conceded for some time mast
out the tact that such a large appro-
Pflatlon IS required to successfully com
pete the work, has prevented many mem
pers OF Congress from considering the
proposed plan feasible one
NO" that we have actually in our pos
session the Hawaiian Islands; that we are
supposed to have control of the Philip
pines ana as we are endeavoring to work
or trade with China and Japan. and. in
addition to this, as we need telearapl;ic
communication with various points in
Alaska, 1t is not at all unlikely that a
Dill drawn up on the line of that favored
by Representative corliss will pass both
Houses and become a law by the Presi
dents approval before March 4th, next.
