quet, but the local merchants have not
taken kindly to the idea, since the
event means much to every person IN
the city, and the plan is to make the
celebration one of greater Importance
than simply feast which will draw
to the boards a few score of the bus
mess people of the city. One of the
proposals which is now being seriously
considered by the committee is the
holding of a great meeting at the
Opera House, which will be marked by
notable addresses by men who have
been connected with the promotion Of
the cable and who have watched the
progress of events leading up to it
with interest
The committee will this morning
hold meeting with Governor Dole at
which there will be discussed the vari-
Gus phases of the proposed celebration.
1t is expected that with the concur
renee of the Governor there will be
made holiday, which will be the Wis
ible celebration of the event, and which
will make possible great gathering OF
the people, either at the Opera House
or in the open air. Should this plan
be decided upon, there may be other
features which will make the event
memorable. 1t is proposed on one
hand that the committee prepare an
address to President Mackay of the
cable company, as well as one to the
captain of the cable ship, which shall
be printed for distribution and preser-
walton in memory of the day.
The first message over the line will

COMING
HERE HANDCUFFED

On the next through steamer for
Yokohama there will be passenger
who will wear handouts. He is not a
prisoner, however, but man circling
the globe on a wager. A dispatch dated
San Jose, Nov. %, says:
NJ. Bernstorf Schroeder would be an
ordinary looking individual were it not
for his hands. These mark the man at
once as peculiar, because they are
locked together by a pair of Sheriff $
handouts. Schroeder is here in San
Jose, but t. e key of the handouts is
in the hands of the sporting editor of
the Los Angeles Times.
Schroeder arrived from San Fran
cisco yesterday and documents carried
by him state that he is on the way
around the world on a $4,000 wager.
He left Copenhagen, Denmark, on Aug.
2S, 1901, and in order to win he must
be back there within three years. Fif-
teen months are gone and he is about
half way around Schroeder's contract
calls for the removal of the handouts
at only thirty specified places on the
trip. Los Angeles is one of these places
and the key that will give him four
days rest awaits him there. From Los
Angeles Schroeder intends to go to Ma
gasah, Japan, which is the next place
he expects to find a key. Schroeder
claims to be a musician of ability and
has made an engagement to conduct
the Garden Theater orchestra tonight.
Under his contract he must work his
way on the entire trip.

Federal Building at the corner of King
street and Bishop street, report as fol-
lows:
% That the said lot is owned by
the Trustees under the Will of Bernice
Pauahi Bishop.
t2) That the said lot has a frontage
on King street of 1876 feet; that it has
frontage on Bishop street of 440 feet.
tS) That a portion of the same, near
iy rectangular in shape, at the makai
end of the lot, has a frontage on King
street of 195 feet, a depth at the west
end of 15S feet, and frontage on Bish-
op street of 143 feet, and contains an
area of 27,740 square feet
Thls last described portion of the lot
would appear to be better suited for
the purposes of a Federal Building than
the entire lot, the remaining portion of
the lot facing on Bishop street having
an average depth of only ninety feet.
AT the same time if additional land
from the ninety feet strip indicated is
desired it is available.
(4) The entire lot above referred to
Is clear of membranes, except two
small leaseholds on King street at the
west corner adjoining the Mcintyre
Block. One of these having a frontage
of approximately thirty-ffye feet on
King street and depth of approx
imately ffty-five feet is under lease to
the Bulletin Company until July 1st,
1910, or approximately a term of seven
and one-half years to run
Next east of the Bulletin lease there
is a leasehold with approximately a
frontage of thirty-three feet and an
approximate depth of fifty-four feet,
which lease expires April, 1903.
The second leasehold referred to hav-
ing practically expired need not be TAX
en- into consideration.
AS to the Bulletin leasehold, your
committee has not yet ascertained their
disposition in regard to disposing of
their leasehold: but as we have been
given to understand that the United
States Government requires a clear
space of approximately thirty feet
around its buildings, the Bulletin lease
hold need interpose no obstacle to the
site in question, as it has only a 'front.'
age of thirty-five feet and has but a
short term to run, at the expiration of
which the building could be removed,
leaving the required open space on that
side.
(5) The Bishop Estate offer to sell
the WhOle or any part OF the lot In queS-
ton, for the purposes of a Federal
Building, at the rate of s4.00 per square
foot. The price at this rate, of the
rectangular lot on the corner of King
and Bishop streets, having a frontage
of 19s feet on King street and 143 feet
on Bishop street would be $110,960.00.
The Bishop Estate offers as an al
tentative to selling the said lot for cash,
for the said sum, to exchange the same
with the Territorial Government for
other land, to be agreed upon, of an
equivalent value.
! Your COMMITTEES are Informed that
other lands in this vicinity have recent
ly been sold at a higher value per
square foot than that asked by the
Bishop Estate.
Your Committee submit herewith a
diagram of the lot in question, show
ing the entire block and the surround
ing blocks; also copy of the Bishop
Estate reply to the Committees request
for information.

be that of President Roosevelt, which
will be addressed to Governor Dole,
and this will be followed Immediately
by response from the Governor to
the President. It is expected that
messages from the President OF the
San Francisco Chamber OF Commerce
to the President or Vice President of
the local chamber will follow, and
these will be succeeded by an exchange
of greetings between the Presidents of
the Merchants Associations of the two
cities. After this formal greeting there
will be messages from the leading
houses and citizens to their friends and
in San Francisco and
New York. the line being kept busy
during the opening day with such
formal greetings.
The messages will all be forwarded
from the office of the cable company
in the Young building, which is rap
idly assuming form and being put into
shape for the use to which it will
be put. The laying of the underground
cable is progressing rapidly and should
be completed early in next week.
Owing to the rains less progress was
made yesterday than usual, but there
will be no material loss on this ac-
count, as there is plenty Of time for
the getting into shape of the land
cable before any demands will be made
for it's use.
The deep sea cable will arrive off
shore perhaps a day before it is con-
nected, owing to the custom OF land
ing the shore end before the through
line is completed When the ship gets
a short distance off shore, perhaps tive
or three miles, the sea line is cut of
and then the ship comes and lays the
shore cable, which is pulled to the
beach. After it is in place, the ship
steams away and picks up the end oi
the sea line, which has been buoyed.
The ship is in constant connection
with the shore and when the two ends
of the cable are ready there is a mes
sage sent saying that the connection is
about to be made. Two hours are usu-
ally allowed for the making of the
splice, and it's cooling, and then the
current is turned into the line and the
final tests made before the formal
messages are sent through the copper
wire.
The batteries with which the cable
will be operated have been placed ir
the office and they were used last
evening in testing the under ground
cable so far as it has been laid. The
batteries are now all in shape, even tc
the storage which will be used in tho
Office work. The tests show that the
underground cable is in the best shape
and that it could not be improved upon
as conductor.
The. connections which are being
made are somewhat behind the laying
operations, but there will be temporary
ones used If the ship should land its
sea line before the underground has
been fully connected.

The United States Postoffice Depart

when Jean Sabate, serving three year

A VAST DIFFERENCE ON DIET
QUESTION.

There is no accounting for difference
in diets. What will help one man will
kill another aud ice versa.
The New York World, speaking on
this subject says:
"Dying at the age 70 years, the Rev.
John Elberlie, of Reading, Pa, leaves
a record of forty years living on two
meals per day of cold water and one
meal of carefully selected food.
Living at the age of 20 years and
apparently with long period of life
yet to enjoy, George E. Gillette, of
KNOXVILLE, Conn, takes for his second
wife lady who has wen his heart by
the excellence of her grIddle cakes,
coffee and plum pudding

which one assumes on this planet who

brother man, what he shall eat and
what he shall drink

Of these juices. With the body fatigued
and continually in action, the blood is drawn
away from the digestive organs, hence the
digestive fluids cannot be supplied. Natur-
ally this leaves a lot of undigested food in
the stomach that is not only useless but
harmful. Now what is to be done?
1t must be digested. A little stimulant
might help it temporarily, but that makes
the next meal still more difficult to digest,
as it draws on the digestive juices unnatur-
ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor
rect, common sense way Of treating these
cases is to furnish substitute, which must,
in order to be effectual, contain exactly the
same elements in exactly the same proper
tions as the natural digestive fluids.
The one preparation which can be abso-
lutely proven to meet these requirements is
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t is not an expert
ment at your expense but the result of ex-
periments at our expense. 1t is not mere
stimulant to aid digestion, but is itself
combination of all the digestants and actu-
ally digests the food by its own individual
powers Of action without any aid whatever
from the digestive organs. 1t will digest
food even in bottle under proper condi-
tions, temperature, etc, so it certainly
can't help having the same action in the

Cotton goods manufacturers are
very much opposed to the continued
exclusion of the Chinese from this
country This opposition is probably
due to selfish interests. The Chinese
as a rule wear very little clothing ex-
cept that made of cotton goods, and
doubtless the manufacturers fear that
this agitation will ipiure their trade
in that country. However, there
should be little or nothing to fear in
this direction When China wants to
purchase cotton goods she will go
to the best market, and if America
can furnish the goods cheaper than
other countries, China will continue
to buy here.

BY digesting the food without aid and
preparing it perfectly for natures uses in
nourishing the body. it gives the digestive
organs rest BY relieving them OF all
work, nature has an opportunity to restore
them to healthy condition.
Furthermore, you should eat all the good
food your appetite calls for while taking
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, because your body
must have nourishment and in no way can
it get it except through the food.
While the army of people is large who suf-
fer continually from dyspepsia, there is a
still greater army of those who are troubled
only occasionally, caused by overeating, eat
ing when fatigued, eating when too warm or
cold, drinking ice water, especially just be-
fore, with, or just after meal, or eating
some article OF food that does not agree
with them.

relieves all distress Of the stomach, that

The National Disease.

If there is any disease entitled to such a
distinction it is certainly dyspepsia 1t is
the blessings Of perfect digestion, strange
though it may seem. Why is this?
Digestion is a slow process by which
nature transforms the food into a state
suitable for nourishment for the body. The
time required varies from one to six hours
or more, according to the food. In the
hurry, worry and hustle, the striving for the
almighty dollar, the goth century American
fails to give proper heed to natures de-
mands upon his time. He gets up in the
morning, bolts his breakfast without half
chewing it, washes it down with hot coffee
or other liquid and rushes off to his business.
At noon, it's rush home or to the lunch
counter eat his lunch hastily while fatigued
and out of breath, then rush back to bust
ness: One of the greatest essentials to pro-
per digestion is the mastication or chewing
of food, to thoroughly mix it with saliva. If
this is not done, the food passes into the
stomach in condition which does not per-
NIT of its being acted upon by the gastric
juices there, even though there be sufficient
