England. ind English firms have a
practical monopoly Of the experience.
The first Atlantic cable was made by
Glass. Eliot & Co. The failure OF this
aud the loss Of the second resulted in
the formation Of n great company-tle
Telegraph Construction and Mainten-
ance Company-backed by great capt.
tai. md this company made n success
of the third cable aud gave impetus to
further work of the sort. But the nee
essary experience had been expensive
and England was the first to acquire it.
Then, in 1870. when England paid $780,
100000 for the land telegraph lines of
the islands, that capital Went at once
into plants aud ships for making aud
laying ocean cable. Thus England had
tile lead. 10 make the cable i'm Amer
lea we would have to have n big plant
and u good many men of practical en-
perience in such work.
"For this, a large investment, far
into the millions. would be required.
and ii the cable. when laid. should fail
in any way, it's makers would suffer a
dead loss of all their work and have to
replace the cable at their own cost.
Then there must he some ten ships of
at least 1900 tons specially constructed
for the work. Each ship requires Il full
outfit of apparatus for every branch of
the work and to lie manned by men OF
experience. All this equipment is found
only in England. Evidence OF this APP

in the matter of the new German cable
to New York, via the Azores. Ger
many wanted Il cable she could he sure
of and wanted it Iuickly-iust he,s;tu-
alton at present of the United States.
She guarantees about 4 per ent. of the
whole cost. and then The cable is made
in England. That shows the German
appreciation of this need of experience
and great equipment."-New York

COLLECTOR MERRILL TOO
READY WITH HIS FISTS

|, the Judge. IF it has come to such
pass that a man is not safe within his
own premises and is threatened with a
show of force such as you and your as
sistant, Yung, displayed toward Apau,
1 think it is time to put a stop to such
practices. You have no right whatever
to intimidate or threaten to strike a
debtor"
The case occupied a portion of the
morning session and the first part of
that of the afternoon. Apau and his
wife testified that Merrill and Yung
had come to his place and demanded
the S21. He told them he did not have
it. Finally he told them to come at 5
o'clock and he would, pay 81 of it. Ac-
cording to the testimony of Merrill he
arrived near Apau's place and found
the latter charging down upon Yung
with a horse and when he came upon
the scene and demonstrated Apau turn
ed the animal upon him. Apau, so
Merrill declared, called him all sorts of
wicked names. At length Merrill start
ed after Apau telling him he would
have him arrested. Apau went into his
yard and closed the gate, which struch
1
ed to the ground as if to pick up a
stone but others prevented him doing
so. Then Merrill struck Apau in the
face with his fist. The stone alleged
| to have been near Apau was brought
into court as an exhibit but the Judge
said as the stone had not been used it
was of no weight in the case.
Merrill said he looked for a police
man several times. Finally Sam Macy
came along and asked what was the
| matter. One of the bystanders said a
hack had run away. Macy asked which

JOE Letter AN

NEW YORK, Oct IA cable to the

today concluded a poker game which
will go into history. Letter is s25, 900 to

say that young Letter is just as good

sional. I'm blue, of course" said
Sheedy, but I'm cheerful. 1 thought /

We're introduced by mutual friend on

some talk of cards and a recital of how
young Letter won $50, 600 on a pair of
sevens last winter in New York at the
Waldorf Astoria.
Il guess | can do you" remarked
Sheedy. Not on your life responded
Letter with a laugh. The pair agreed to
meet for blood in the evening.
Say, Pat" said Letter, I'm going to
bring $50, 600
"All right" laughed the New York
gambler. I'm going to draw S25, 900
That's enough to bring your $4,000 my
way"
They met at the Club Vapucines in a
private room. The play lasted eight
hours uninterruptedly. There were but
six witnesses. For three hours every
| thing came Sheedy's way. At midnight
he was $4,000 ahead
In the small hours his luck changed
and he lost so rapidly that his nerve
went all to pieces. Young Letter, how
ever, remained as cool as a cucumber
| and bet high on broken flush or pail
| of deuces until he had Sheedy on the
run. Sheedy tried to recoup with sew
leral big bluffs, but his evident nervous

yesterday when summing up the
~ testimony in the case of Loren w.
Merrill, bill collector, charged
terry upon one Apau from whom he en-
deavored 10 collect $21 bill on Satur-
day.
"A bill collector" said the Judge,
has no right to take the law into his
own hands. If he cannot collect bill
he has recourse to the Second District
Court of Honolulu where the debt can
be sued for and collection made by due
process of law.
II know it is a common thing among
Chinese TO make physical demonstra-
tions toward a debtor from whom
they try to collect and cases come up
in this court very often. This must be
stopped.

Merrill hesitated about making re-
ply to the Judges query. 1t was a
sumner and took the wind out OF his
testimony.
"Oh. no, Judge" he said, II didn't in
tend to put that into practice here.

collector could do that and 1 merely
