AVORGOVERNMENT CABLE.
HOUSE MINORITY REPORT is
SUBMITTED.
Only Five Members Of the Committee
Now Said to Favor the Scrymser
Subsidy Gable Scheme.

NEW YORK, March 13,-A Sun spec
ial from Washington says Represen-
tative Corliss of Michigan, today pre-
sented the report of the minority of the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee against the bill or
dered favorably reported last week by
the committee, authorizing the pay
ment of an annual subsidy of 100000
for a Pacific cable. While the commit
tee voted to report the subsidy bill by
a vote of 8 to z with two members alb
sent, only five members, Messrs. Sher-
land, Hepburn, JOY, Hawley and Low
ering, are now said to be in favor of
the bill with the amount fixed at 5000, 600
year. The Democratic members
Messrs. Adamson and McAleer will
make a minority report for a lower
subsidy. Messrs Corliss, Davis, Davy,
Fletcher, Mann, Muller, ShackelfUrd
and Stewart, favor the construction of
the cable by the Government, while
Messrs. Braham and Wanger wish the
Government ownership bill added to
the subsidy bill as an alternative.
The minority report favors the ap-
preparation of $S,O00,000 for laying a
cable by the Government, and opposes
the subsidy bill for these reasons: That
| 1t grants an exclusive privilege which
will become a monopoly, and fosters it
by public subsidy of sc, 000 000-more
/ lIldlA HAL lile GSllIndltu COSl Oh Ifle en-
tire construction of the cable; that it
makes no provision for the reduction
of tariff tolls from time to time, justi-
! fed by the increasing cable communi-
cations arising from the inevitable ex-
| pansion of American trade and COM
! merce; that it fails to provide for the
| extension of the cable to China and
! Japan, which is necessary for the de-
velopment of trade with those coun-
] tries; that such cable franchise would
! largely control the expanding trade and
/ commerce of the Pacific, and would be-
come a monopoly of great value, JUS
! tifying it's construction by private in
| terest without such liberal subsidy.
! In the Judgment of the minority the
military and naval interests, as we'll as
the expanding trade and commerce OF
! the country, demand the construction
of the cable by the Government, and its
maintenance and operation at the low
est possible rates, as an aid to the trade
Of the United States, and a protection
! to their people.
The report takes up the estimated
cost of constructing and operating the
! prorOsed cable, and makes a compari.
son with the cables across the Atlantic
reaching the conclusion that the rev.
| enues of the Pacific cable at the end oi
five years after construction would bt
sufficient to cover the expense of main
tenance, operation and repairs, anC
would thereafter insure free message!
for the Government and the lowest pos
sible tariff rate to American trade and

TIE new CHINATOWN
MUCH REBUILDING ACROSS THE
RIVER.
Many Structures for Small Stores and
Homes Going Up on King and Liliha
Streets

The question of where the new China
town is going to be is solving itself
very rapidly. The Chinese have chosen
their own places to rebuild as fast as
they were able or were allowed to do
so, and very many of them have gone
to the district of which the corner of
Liliha and King streets is the center.
The amount of building going on in
this district indicates that those who
wanted to see Chinatown rebuilt across
the river, are quite likely to realize
their desire. A considerable district is
already given over to the small stores
that are characteristic of Chinatown,
and there is a regular boom in building.
On King street, beyond the Oahu Build
ing and Lumber Company, a long row
of stores with rooms above is going
up, extending to Liliha street. Beyond
the latter street are some more, and for
a whole block up Liliha street from
King, there is building on both sides of
the street. The structures are very
much like those which were burned
down, along the Waikiki side of River
street.

WHAT TO DO UNTIL THE DOCTOR
COMES.

1t is very hard to stand idy by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor An Albany
IN. " dairyman called at drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give relief until the doctor should ar
rive. In few hours he returned, say
ing the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz. says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for It from that part of the country.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-07-06
Own q Home.

The Zion's-lIeral1 calls attention to
the fact that there are only 16 savings
banks in the great state Of Pennsyl-
vania, which has a population of near.
ly six million. AS compared with
New York the population of Pennsyl-
vania is probably as about five to six,
but in the matter of savings banks
the comparison is about one to eight.
New York and New England have a
large number Of savings banks, SO
GRAINED with money that it is almost
impossible to invest it so that it will
yield an average net dividend OF more
than three per cent. Pennsylvania
offers special inducements for her
people to invest their savings in
homes, and her building and loan as
sociations are distinct features of a
policy that has made Philadelphia
known as the City of Homes. 1t is a
great deal better that land should be
held in small portions by private Cit
liens, than that syndicates should be
encouraged to absorb all the available
land that finds its way into the mar
ket. AS long as the savings Of her
wage carriers are invested in land,
Pennsylvania need not be concerned
about the small balances to their
credit in the banks. 1t is a matter
which Vermonters would do we'll to
more carefully consider. Mortified
