THE CABLE FOR ALASKA.

Senator FoSter.lS recently stated in these columns. has introduced a bill in the sen ate asking for an appropriation of eight million dollars for a Pacific cable 10 the Philippines, with the special recommend ation that in its course it shall touch Alas ka. Congressman Jones. of Yakima, Wash. speaking before the house com mittee on interstate and foreign com merce on the subject, said;
 Along the entire northern route and at alnoS, every terminal link there would be valuable business connections of great i'm portanee to the government. Alaska is teeming with people. They must have con nectiOn with the outside world. With a government cable laid from Puget Sound to Dutch Harbor connection could be made with almost every point in Alaska. lt would no, be expected that the govern ment would to this, but private capital would soon connect Dutch Harbor with Sitka, Skagway, Juneau. Cape Nome and Cape York.

An announcement was made yesterday ln these columns that Bishop Rowe was about to pay a visit to this part of his vast diocese. This did not attract much atten- tion, probably for the reason the Bishop was supposed to be merely calling en pass ant, and would be here only while his boat to SItka was In port. To those who jumped to this conclusion, and to citizens generally, it will be a pleasure to learn that the Bishop this time will stay in the city a month or more, and will thus have time to get acquainted with the people. In all probability this will result in a mutual understanding that will last for all time.
