THE RULES
ARE STRICT.
Rapid Transit Cars
In a Slight
Mix-Up.
MUST WAIT
ON SWITCHES
Manager BaIlentyne Explains the
Regulations for Guidance
Of Employees.

| The first collision between two Rapid
! Transit cars occurred early yesterday
afternoon, near Punchbowl and HOTEL
streets, but with little injury to eth
err A trifling mishap to commitator
brush at the power house made few
minutes delay of all cars in the morn
| ing, disarranging the schedule, and
was no doubt responsible for the acct
| dent.
The collision was not nearly as Sc
rious as has been reported.
| Zone car was not injured at all, and
| the other was but slightly dented,
said Manager Ballentyne, in speaking
of the accident last evening. One of
the cars was continued in the service
during the remainder of the day"
The regulations in regard to waits
at switches are very strict, and rules
for all other operations of cars have
been promulgated and are well under
stood by motormen and conductors.
Regarding the wait at switches, the.
rule is that after a car has waited five
minutes, it is given the right of way,
and in case of meeting another car
latter must return to the switch and
allow the waiting car to pass.
The statement in the Star that on
five distinct occasions cars attempted
to pass each other at this particular
place, and that an accident was avert
ed only by narrow margin, is not cor
rect. This is a dangerous place on
account of the narroWness of Printers
Lane, and the curves located there, and
a special order has been issued to all
motormen and conductors in regard to
this particular point, which order they
are required to read and sign, to the
effect that they have read and fully
understand it.
The fact that the Rapid Transit
Company has in the short time it has
been in operation carried upward of
$50, 900 passengers through narrow,
winding streets without any accident
to any of the passengers is certainly
a sufficient answer to the Stars state
ment that there is a lack of proper
regulations.
IF the cars which came together
yesterday had been going at a high
rate of speed they could not have been
stopped as quickly as they were; the
fact is one had come to a dead stop,
and the other was on the point of
stopping at the moment when they
came in contact.
THE statement is also made that
cars persistently take chances of rum.
ming for the next switch rather than
wait, when some delay has occurred.
This is also an error, as no car
proceeds on its way if detained on a
switch unless it has been there at
least five minutes, and then it proceeds
with the greatest caution, for the pur-
pose of avoiding accident in case an
other car should be coming from the
opposite direction.
Between Palace Walk and Nuuanu
bridge switch the rate of speed is far
below that authorized in the compa-
ny's franchise, and the very greatest
caution is exercised in the operation
of cars between these points"

HOW THE NEW PACIFIC
CABLE WILL Be LAID
Continued from Page l.

submarine mountain range running
nearly north and south that breaks
through the surface of the sea and
forms the islands of the Ladrone
group, this plain descends into the val
ley of the Nero Deep, with a depth
of only sixty-six feet less than six stat
ute miles. practical cable route to
Guam was eventually found to the
north OF Nero Deep.
Between Guam and the Philippines
the bed of the ocean is less regular.
For the first 600 knots of the route
selected the depths rendered from 400
to 2,7GO fathoms; there are, however,
no sharply defined ranges of hills or
valleys, the character of the bottom
being of an undulating nature. After
800 knots had been traversed a low
mountain range was discovered sloping
to the westward, eventually forming
deep plain that extended unbroken 10
the Philippine islands.
The last mentioned plain varies from
5000 to $500 fathoms. In making tho
survey nothing was discovered which
would obstruct the successful laying
and working of cables. In the contrary,
the soft mud and ooze bottom indicates
that a long life to cables is reasonably
assured. The route from the Hawai-
ian islands to point near Monterey Oh
the California coast was found to be the
most satisfactory as to depth and bot
tom, having no natural distractions
which could not be easily overcome.
This is how the new Pacific cable
joining California to the Orient Will be
laid and tested

FRANCIS MURPHY
TEMPERAMENT UNION
An Appeal for Monthly Contribu
tons to Meet Fixed
Charges.

The Francis Murphy Gospel Temper
ance Union wants enough money, to be
subscribed in monthly payments, to
carry on its good work. 1t finds itself
hampered by recent events, for which
it was not responsible, it's appeals Tor
aid being met by wealthy citizens with
the statement that large sums had been
recently given the President of the CID
and now disbanded Francis Murphy
Association. The Union does not ask
for large gifts. What it wants and
ought to have is enough money to meet
the fixed charges of hall rent and lights
The attitude of leading philanthrop-
lists is shown by this letter from H. p.
Baldwin:
Honolulu, H. l., Oct T. 1901.
Edw. j. Wilson, Esq, President Pro
Tenn, Francis Murphy Club, City:
My Dear Sir:-Your favors of the 30th
ult and of the LIST inst. duly to hand, in
which you ask for aid in conducting the
Francis Murphy Club.
When Franklin Austin proposed to start
this club and others, I told him that
considered that practical temperance and
subscribed one thousand dollars toward
the project. "A good many others in Hon
olulu also subscribed. The recent events
connected with the club show what
disappointment it has been. 1t has been
difficult for me on Maui to analyze the
whole affair and determine where the
fault lies. After thinking over carefully
the matter of aiding you further in a
financial way, I have concluded that if
the Honolulu people who are aiding the
cause of temperance will subscribe large
ly and freely toward your club and give
their moral as well as financial support
to the same, am willing to do my share.
But 1 would like to have you first Sc
cure the support Of the people here on
the ground before I make any promise.
am at all times ready to aid the cause
of temperance, and will aid any good
and substantial move in that line.
Yours sincerely,

SAN FRANCISCO. May 24.-The
Chronicle publishes the following:
The following dispatch was received
from Washington last night: Seeming

here that George B. Cortelyou, secre-
tary to the president, is soon to receive
q substantial promotion. 1t is said that
the president intends to put him into

as he now anticipates. In spite OF ex-
plicit denials, the story still goes around
that Postmaster General Smith will soon
retire and this is the place which rumor
says Cortelyou is to have"
Secretary Cortelyou was asked re-
garding the dispatch but he declined to
be interviewed and would neither af-
firm nor deny the truth of the report.
Postmaster General Smith could not be
seen. Members Of the presidential party,
however, who had held conversations
with Postmaster General Smith before
leaving Washington concerning his ru-
mored retirement from the cabinet, said
there was no truth in the report and
that the postmaster general had no
intention of retiring.
