COST $1O,OOO,OOO
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON COM.
..MERcE DISCUSSES ADVISABLE
ITY OF ITS BEING BUILT BY THE
GOVERNMENT.

Washington, January 10. a The House
committee on commerce today took up
the subject of Pacific cable. The main
question Is whether the cable shall be
constructed by the government or by pri-
vate persons.
The hearing today was devoted to an
explanation by George w. Ward, vice
president of the Commercial Pacific Ca
Bile Company. of the plans of that or
ganization.
He stated that contracts had been made
for the manufacture and laying of a cable
to Honolulu by November next, and
the company intended to extend the ca
BILE to Manila within two years from
next November. The manufacture of the
cable was now proceeding he stated, at
the rate of 24O miles per month. and this
rate would be increased to $50 miles per
month. He gave the cost of the project
as between $40 100000 and $4,000, 600.
The cross-questioning by Chairman
Hepburn and Messrs. Corliss and Mann
tended to develop the question whether
or not the company, by having an ex-
elusive field, would maintain high rates.
Mr.. Ward gave the expected rate to Ma
Mia at 81 and to Honolulu So and so cents
a word. The hearing will continue to-
morrow.

ing mustered out.
O. Did you tell him In that conversation
that any certain officer in that regim ent

trouble in that regiment in the Spanish
American war? A. I certainly did not,
on the contrary, I will state TO the court

at that station the chaplain was handed
a letter from Colonel Higdon In which
he asked Chaplain F'itzsimons to re-
sign. He brought 1t to the car and show
ed 1t to us, and we read it, and that is
where the trouble originated, we sided

you going? A. Coming from Miami, Fla,
to Jacksonville.
Q. You are charged with falling to obey

A. My answer to that is will state I
never received that telegram, did not
know anything about it, never received
1t to this day. that telegram is dated
the 18th of July, on that date l was in
New York City.

timony of last Friday and corrected
same When he concluded he was ques-

of the court.
The Judge advocate asked the witness

and Hasson was read and few minor
corrections made. The judge advocate
asked Lieutenant Hasson several ques-
lions for the purpose of bringing out the
testimony that when Hasson left Gads-
den for Admission he turned over his
sword and uniform to Captain Echols
and made a farewell address.

especially spiteful or mean, have i'm
pressed you as being girls to avoid. But
have you ever met the girl that you and

You are unfortunate if you have not

choice of everything in the world.
She is the girl who is not aggressive
and does not find Joy in melting aggres-

She is the girl who never causes pain,

She is the girl who when you invite

She is the girl who makes this world
a pleasant place because she is so pleas
