Expatriated Americans.

mercial Pacific Cable Company ol "hiSi Mir Mackay was the head.
 Expatriated Americans.
 He referred to Mir Mackay as an ex- patriated American" The cable com pany, he said proposed to build capie in English workshops, with tneir capl- tai, and lay it with British snlps, 1e wanted an American cape puie t American capital in American shops oy American wage earners. laid by Ameri- can sbins. under the American flag
 MT Newlands of Nevada stated that Mr Mackay resided in this country near ly all the time.
 "I retract the statement" replied MT. Dalzell. Ut Is not material The capi- tai behind the enterprise is English.
 Mir Richardson of Alabama here pro- duced an affidavit, showing that MT. Mackay owned a majority of the shares of the company.
 "Where is it proposed to make this cable?" asked MT. Dalzell
 "In England" replied MT. Richardson, and at the proper time I will show why it is to be made there"
 That Is enough" replied MT. Dalzell. That Is why I oppose the proposition or the Commercial Company"
 Proceeding he said that at the proper time he should offer as a substitute of the bill, c bill recently introduced in the Senate, which he understood, had been withdrawn by the attorney general Dy which the President would be authorized to make a contract for the construction of a cable under certain specified condi- tions.
 The rule was adopted. 10 to B. Consid- eration of the bill was then begun
 MT. CorIiss, the first speaker, said:
 This measure provides for govern aah nnifinn islands in the Pacific with the American continent. By Its term the cable shall be American made laid by American ships and man. aged by the American government"
 United States has the Right.
 He argued that the United States had a right to lay cable without the permis- sion of Congress. He placed the cost of construction at not exceeding s10.ooo, GOO and the cost of operation at $400,000 per annum. A government survey of the route had already been made, he said. at an expense of $200 900. He estimated that the revenue from commercial business alone would be far in excess of the cost of operation.
 MT. Corliss presented to the House statements and figures intended = the existence of cable monopoly and it's purposes stating that the cable com pany had control of cable communica- tions with the far East and controls over 10000 miles of submarine cables It had an exclusive monopoly in China, he said until 1880, and its Spanish grant in the Philippines ran until 1940. He contended that the Commercial Pacific Cable Com pany. which proposes to lay cable to Hawaii and thence to Manila, was mere ly the American branch or ally of the Eastern cable monopoly. MT. Corliss dwelt upon the effect upon our military control in the Pacific should a foreign corporation be permitted to own this CA ble, and he argued that the only way to break down the monopoly was for the government to own, construct and ope- rate the cable.
