TIE PACIFIC CABLE.
Committee Divided a. 70 Private

WASHINGTON. March 10 Four
distinct reports On the 5il Tor The con
s.ruc,.on Of a Pacifc cable to Hawaii.
the Philippines and Japan were fed
today from members Of the House
Committee On In ers-a.e and Foreign
Commerce. Sherman o. New YORK
submitted the majority rep5r- favor
aC.e 20 he bill introduced ~ him for a
cable 70 be bulk under pr-vase auspi-
ces. the Government payi1g 100000
annually for twenty years for the
transmission Of Government messages.
A minority report. signed by Repre-
sen-aL.ves Adamson. Adams, Shac6le-
ford and Davey. dissents in toto from
The bill. Another minority repOrl
signed by Representatives COrliss.
Fletcher and Stewart opposed the plan
Of private ownership and proposed a
sub ticute embOdyIng the idea OF Gov
eminent ownership o. the cable. Still
another dissenting report is from
Mann Of Illinois. giving his individual
view that a Government cable would
prove more beneficial 10 the public and
the Government.
Shernan's majority report is an ex-
haustive review of the cable question.
Il says that the argument for a Gov
eminent cable that would be under the
complete control of the United States
seems Of small importance 20 the COM
mittee except in time OF war, and in
that event the Government is authoriz-
ed to assume control OF the private
cable which the committee recon-
mends.
As TO the Government cable being
more economical TO the United States.
the report says that this loses weight
from the necessity OF establishing a
duplicate cable.

Il is probably true and not at al
strange that explosive bullets and 9th
or missiles Of a prohibited kind are
found on the persons Of dead. wounded
OF captured burghers. But it Is hardly
likely that these bullets were officially
supplied. Many OF the Boer soldiers
live in the big game country and they
use ammunition in the chase which Is
calculated to kill lions on the jump.
When these men were Communicated
they took what cartridges they had,
seeing no moral difference, perhaps.

and war with lyddite shells.

For many years scientific inventors
have been trying to find a process to
make wood fireproof and one to absorb
daylight into some substance, prefer
ably paint, which would give It out as

when they are thrust into the crema-

WINE vs.. COFFEE.

my head reeled and rolled for two or
three days. and decided tte wine
would have been the more temperate
drink after all.
i had been a moderate user Of
coffee. but had been suffering from
sick headaches for some time and
was becoming very suspicious that
coffee was the cause OF them. After
this experiment the drug power OF
coffee was made so plain that I s;,an.

In spite Of all the books written about music
and musicians in recent years, there is still
a lack Of careful and critical accounts in
English Of the lives of the great masters
and Bitter on Bach jain on Mozart, Thayer on
Beethoven-Spitta and jain being accessible in
English, the Americans work, by a strange
turn Of fate, 10 be had yet only in German;
but these and others like them make more ex-
acting demands on the reader than the majority
even Of intelligent music lovers can usually
meet. So readers must content themselves
either with the brief English biographies or
with unsatisfactory English transations Of I'M
satisfactory German books. For this reason
the Master Musicians Series" edited by Fred
erick ]. Crowest. will be examined with ex-
pectant hope; and If the hope is sometimes
dashed there is, nevertheless. enough in the
books 10 make them welcome.
Mr. Crowest writes the life OF Beethoven. The
compilaton-it can scarcely be called more
will not materially increase his reputation.
Beethoven is the central figure OF modern
music, and there has been gathered wealth Of
material about his career and about the person
ality Of the man from which a luminous and
living picture could be drawn: but Mr.. crowest
