The PACIFIC CABLE.

There is general unanimity of senti-
ment both in congress and among the
people at large in favor of cable
across the Pacific ocean. There is
sharp difference of opinion. however.
concerning the method of construction.
1t seems that no private corporation Is
willing to undertake the work without
promises of assistance. The believers
in the policy of private construction
and control want the government to
grant a subsidy. the size of which was
fixed by the majority Of the house
committee having the matter in charge
at 100000 year for twenty years.
This would make a total subsidy pay
ment of 100000 The estimated cost
or cable running to Honolulu and
Manila is s10.0O0.0OO. The believers in
the government-ownership policy.
prominent among whom Is Congress
man Mann of this city, think that the
United States government should con-
struct and operate the cable On It's own
account

PATE OF THE BoER REPUBLICS.

The fate OF the Boer republics when
the settlement shall be made in South
Africa. assuming that England will de-
feat the Beers, is now subject of dis
cussion in England. The pertinent
suggestion made by James Bryce in
the Manchester Guardian the other day
IS attracting much attention and must
give pause 70 the excited jing0es, who
are for settling affairs in South Africa
In a summary imperialistic fashion,
without regard to the feelings or racial
susceptibilities OF the Dutch. Mr..
Bryce calls attention 10 the fact that
when the mines have yielded up their
richest harvests, which must happen
within a few years. the miners. stock
1obbers, spectators and all the adj
venturers who have caused the pres
ent conflict will abandon the Trans
vaal, and then the British who remain
will form but a small minority of the
inhabitants and will be at the mercy of
the Beers. Any harshness. injustice
or narrowness exhibited in the terms
of peace imposed upon the Beers now
will inevitably lead to reDrisals In the
future and cause confusion and blood

DEATH OF OSMAN PASHA.

Osman Pasha. the famous Turkish
general. Is reported dead. although full
confirmation of the news Is lacking.
Although in recent comparative OBJ
security. Osman Pasha. as the hero OF
the siege OF Plevna. will live in mill
tary history in rank attained by very
few of the worlds greatest generals.
One of the peculiar facts in his career
was his alien birth. all Of his biog-
raphers agreeing that he was not
Turk, although none Of them agree as
to his actual nativity. All Turkish
generals Of note. by the way, have
during the last fifty years been for
eign born. This is a curious reflection
upon Turkeys weakness In producing
great generals of her own. but Is also
a tribute TO the shrewdness OF sue
cessive sultans in drawing the best
talent from other European armies. AS
the Ishmaelite OF nations, Turkey has
been a refuge for eXiled military
geniuses of other continental armies.
and TO this fact We may aScribe her
present military prowess. which Is still
sufficient to command the respect or
those nations that would make meal
Of her II they dared.

JOKE PLAYED.
Upon Passenger Agent with a Big

and had one foot in the grave already.
lin told him about the balmy atmos-
phere OF Florida, and tried to persuade
him to go there instead, bat the con-
sumptive and his friends insisted on
his going TO California. Finally Jim
as Il last resort said to the consump-
tive's friend: You take him down TO

to pay all funeral expenses. Just ship
him back in my care or course he
didn't have any idea be would ever

gained his health and is now able to
do a hard days work. Jim did not
hear from him for about six months.
Several OF his railroad friends were
dawn in Florida on a fishing trip, and
having known OF Jim's promise, they
decided to play joke On him. They
caught large tarpon fish, and secur-
ing a coffin, put the fish into it and
sent it 10 Jim. AS soon as he saw the
express tag on it the promise he had
made to the consumptive came across
his mind. He had the coffin sent over
to another agent who was IN en- the
promise with him. Ii was hidden
away in a back room until the next
day, when one of the clerks who ives

FIGHTING FOB A ZOO
PrOf. Langley's Persistent Efforts for
Preservation Of Wild Animals.

In an illustrated article on THE Ma
tional Zoo at Washington" Ernest
Seton-Thompson, the author-artist,
tells what hard work Prof. Langley
mad to do before congress would pass
bill TO establish such an institution:
In 1887. when the newly appointed Sec
rotary Of the Smithsonian Institution,
Mrs. s. p. Langley. who, though an
astronomer and a physicist. had been
very strongly impressed by the fact
that all our largest and most interest
ing native animals were rapidly APP
preaching extinction. conceived the
idea of securing a tract OF country. as
primitive as possible, that might be
made a lasting city of refuge for the
vanishing races. This was the main
idea when first Mr.. Langley went be-
fore congress 10 urge the establish
ment Of National Geological Park. In
all ages il has been the custom of po-
tentates TO keep a collection OF wild
animals for their amusement. and the
American people, being their own
ruler, had numberless precedents be-
fore them when urged to make this
much needed collection Of animals. In
such a case the advantage of a mon
archy is that only one man must be
convinced. whereas in the republic the
consent OF majority Of seventy mil
lions had 10 be obtained. This took
time. Fierce battles had to be fought
with ignorant and captious politicians.
One objected that he did net see why
people should pay Ito have the Ne
braska elk and Florida alligators
cooped up" II they had 10 spend
money for it they would want things
they could not see at home-dog- faced
balloons. kangaroos, man-eating tigers.
Fetc. Another, n fervent patriot, object
cd 10 any money being spent on exotic
species, as Ii was contrary to the spirit
of the constitution TO encourage or i'm
port foreigners. Altogether the Sec
rotary of the Smithsonian found it no
easy bill 70 carry, though il was in
dorsed by nearly every scientist and
educator in the country. After three
years of persistent effort. involving
vastly more worry than the manage
ment of the whole Smithsonian Insti-
tuition for three times that period, Mt
Langley succeeded in carrying both
houses of congress over the successive
stages OF ridicule, liberation, and
favorable consideration, to the point
of accepting and providing for the
scheme. An appropriation was made
for a National geological Park to be
established in the District OF Column
bia for the Advancement of Science
and the Instruction and Amusement OF
the People" as well as city Of refuge
where those native animals that were
threatened with extinction might live
and perpetuate their species ia peace %

Puerto Rico Bills Tied Up Between

Republican leaders in the senate adj

probably have to meet his house tariff
