Gable Lin. to the ph,,,pp,ne,.

Being in the Philippines to-day, and
owning the Hawaiians islands, the
United States naturally needs tele-
graphic communications. Gable lines
across the Pacific are being discussed.
Advocates of Il government line are
figuring on two routes. The southern,
by way of Honolulu from San Francis
co to Manila and Guam. would, it is
calculated, cost about S13.5OO,OOO.
1t is thought that the northern route
by way of Alaska to the Philippines,
and In addition thereto separate line
from CalifoTn mia to Hawaii, could be
laid f6f about S12.O0O,OOO.
This difference in cost is largely due
to difference in length of the links. The
arguments against such route are to
be found in the great natural Difficult
ties to be encountnred-ice fog and
great depths, bat cable on the north
ern route could be repaired at any
time of the year on any link, except
during temporary storms. and the ca
Bile ship could always find harbor
within 100 miles of any break. By the
northern route the different stretches
vary but slightly in distance, and are
all comparatively short, none exceed
ing $50 miles, so that, in case of a
break, one cable ship, If it We're found
impossible TO make repairs. could easily
relay one entire stretch, the cost of
which would not amount to more than
S6OO,OOo.
On the southern route, with its four
great stretches of 2,2SG, 1.254, 2,o93,
and / ,496 miles, the cost of break in
great depth, in case repair We're pos
sible, would probably amount to sew
eral hundred thousand dollors, with the
likelihood also of n necessity for the
renewal of an entire stretch, which
would cost from $2OO0,0O0 to $1,000
600.
Another consideration is the supply
of gutta percha, which has become so
scarce and its price consequently so
high that its use in construction OF
long-distance cables has become very
costly. Gutta percha costs 50 n pound;
rubber can be had Mt S1.3O. For long
stretches of 1000 miles or more gutta
percha, however, is requisite as insu-
lating material. while for shorter
stretches india rubber suffices.
The question of Pacific cable com
munication will be one of the foremost
ones concerning the United States in
the first years of the twentieth century.

Il BRIDE OF an HOUR FLED.
The Bridegroom Asked the Police TO
Help Him Find Her.

Help Him Find Her.
Separations Of married couples seldom
come so soon after the weddings as one
which occurred last night. Within an
hour after Lewis Toocker, youth who
lives on Vernon street, had been mar
ried to Bertha Lyman, an eighteen
year-old girl who lives on Henry street,
he appeared at the police station and
complained that his bride had left him
and he requested police assistance to
find her.
Toocker and the girl appeared at the
city hall shortly after o'clock to get
Registrar Of Vital Statistics James J..
Carr to issue them license. Both ap-
peared very Jubilant when they entered
the hall, but became downcast when
Assistant Janitor Minnix informed
them that they might find Mr.. Carr at
his home. They acted on this sugges-
tion and saw Mr.. Carr. Later in the
evening they returned to the city hall.
accompanied by the registrar, who is
sued a license to them. AS they were
leaving the city hall the young man
saw Anthony Carroll there and, claim
ing acquaintance with him, asked for
his congratulations. Mr.. Carroll wished
them a pleasant Journey through life
together, not knowing then that the
journey was to be SO soon interrupted.
Going on down the stairs, with Mr..
Carroll, beaming benignly, after them,
they found Assistant Janitor Minnix
sitting near the radiator at the foot of
the stairs. Young Toocker, stepping up
to Minnix, told him how happy they
were Mr.. Minnix congratulated them
heartily and this so pleased the young
man that he decided that reward
should be forthcoming. He therefore
said. Bertha kiss the gentleman"
Minnix, who is bachelor, blushed and
nearly fell> off his chair. The girl, hid
ing her faceNon her arm, coyly demurred
to the request Of her fiancee, and per-
sisted that. she did not want to kiss
Minnix. The latter, to relieve the EN-
barrassment, offered further good wish
es, which so pleased the young man
that he renewed his request to the girl,
and she, also won by the janitor's blush
es or by his gallantry, or by both, ex-
claimed, well, just will,'' and swoop-
ing down upon the astonished Minnix
threw her arms about him and implant-
ed sounding smack on his crimson
cheek.
They then left the hall About am
hour later young Toocker entered the
police station very much frustrated. He
told Sergeant Cook that after securing
the license they went to the residence
Of Rev. Gardiner Eldridge, where they
were married He said that they then
went to the Imperial hotel and that
while he was absent from the room
there his bride disappeared. He said
that he had hunted high apd low for
her, but could not find her. He suspi- A
cioned that she had run away with an
other man, and said that he was going
to watch the night boats and see If she
left on any Of them. So far as could be
ascertained late last night the recreant
bride had not been found.
