The action Of Sheriff Rigney and an officer from the County home In talk ing away the child of Mrs 'Dunne yes terday, has aroused q lot of just h. dignation. It seems like high-hand- ed affair. If the authorities O. the County home can rob a mother of her child it is high time that a law giving them that privilege was wiped out. If all reports are to be credited the County home is not the place for chil- dren like the Dunne child. A boy or girl who is at all sensitive, or who has ever felt the kindly influence of good father and mother is made to realize the change after they once enter the County home.

FRENCH CLAIM IS SETTLED.
PRESIDENT JIMINEx, OF sANTo DO
MINGO, RAISES THE MONEY.
Return Greeted with n Patriotic
Outburst-French Gunboat salutes
Him-PopulMr Sentiment
Not Favor Apology to France.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Santo Domingo says:
President Jiminez, who has been at Ma
coris since Saturday, experimenting the
raising OF the popular subscription to pay
the French claim, returned this afternoon
with 100000 francs. The claims amount
to $4,000 francs. As the popular subscrip-
ton is larger than the claim the Dominic
cans are rejoicing.
The return OF the president under such
suspicious circumstances was marked by
patriotic enthusiasm and general flag
display. The French cruiser Ceciile salut-
ed the gunboat on which President Jiminez
returned. The gunboat answered the sa-
lutte. No steps have been taken by the
French consul further than intrusting the
case of Admiral Richard.
No disorders have occurred, but the pop
ular sentiment il against apoaogixing to
France. The people are urging the gov
eminent to prepare a system of defense,
as the overthrow Of the government would
be menaced at the first evidence Of weak
ness.
In raising the popular subscription many
ladies offered their jewelry. One Spanish
and one Italian merchant have incurred
the dislike Of the people for thenr failure
to subscribe.
The arrival of the French cruiser Ce-
ellie created considerable excitement. She
reached Santo Domingo yesterday after
noon, but did not salute as she entered
the harbor. The situation here is tranquil.
and the government has urged the people
to show no hostility to France. It is re-
ported that France will send two addf-
tional warships to this island.

PACIFIC CABLE QUESTION.
HOUSE COMMITTEE LISTENS re
PRESIDENT sCRYMsER.
He Recounts His Arguments Why the
Government Should Not Under
take the Work Itself, but Should
subsfdize His Company to Build 1t.

Special Dispatch to the Post-InteIiigencer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-An extended
hearing was granted today by the house
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce to the Pacific Gable Company, of
New. York, which Is in reality the Scrym-
ser syndicate. Arguments were made by
President Scrymser and Vice President
Baylies Of the cable company. and w. b.
Thurber, of New York, in favor of the
construction of the cable by private cor
poration, and against government owner
ship.
The bill introduced by Representative
Sherman Of New York seems to meet with
their approval. and they particularly OBJ
ject to Senator Hale's bill, providing that
the cable shall be laid by vessels of the
navy. and when completed turned over to
the postmaster general for operation.
Rear Admiral Bradford stated to the
committee that 1t was impracticable to
use navy vessels for such work, as their
capacity was not SUFFICIENT to carry coal
and cable supplies, and they were not
properly constructed for cable ships.
Mr.. Scrymser estimated that the cost of
a cable line to Honolulu. Guam. Midway
islands, Manila, Shanghai Hongkong and
Japan would be $3.50 900.
A year ago half that sum was his es-
innate. He thought the government could
better pay 100000 a year for twenty years
for the transmission OF ofiicial dispatches
than to undertake the construction, main
tenance and operation Of submarine
telegraph. His argument that the gov
eminent could not secure right to land
to operate lines in foreign countries as
private individuals or corporations could
made a great impression on the commit
tee.
He estimated the cost Of operation.
maintenance and repair OF the. cable to
the government would be not less than
one and half million dollars a year and
said the work of construction would cost
the government much more than it
would private parties
The Sherman bill provides tn at the
government shall pay the cable company
four hundred thousand dollars year,
payable quarterly for twenty years, and
after that pay private rates for official
messages. The cable must be in operation
to Honolulu by January !. 1905. and to
Manila and japan by july l. 1904 Rates
for private messages, from the, United
States to Honolulu shall be thirty-fve
cents word; to Manila, points in China
and Japan, one dollar. Press rates shall
not exceed one-fourth these rates. In
time of war the government may take
possession of the cable lines and sta
lions.
