alterations or additions thereto imposed
by the congress. This was deemed prop
er. especially as it was clear that a cable

foreign country. was a part of the COM
pany's plan. This course was, moreover.

These conditions prescribed, among
other things. a maximum rate for COM

pine islands to China, there being at
present, as is well known, a British line
from Manila to Hong-Kong.
The representatives of the cable COM

The Pacific Cable.
During the fall of 1901 a communication
was addressed to the secretary of state,
asking whether permission would be
granted by the president to a corpora
uon TO lay a cable from a point on the
california coast to the Philippine islands
by way of Hawaii. A statement of con-
oltlons or terms upon which such cor
poration would undertake to lay and
operate a cable was volunteered.
naSmuch as the congress was shortly
to convene, and Pacific cable legislation
had been the subject of consideration by
the congress for several years, it seemed
to me wise to defer action upon the ap-
plication until the congress had first an
opportunity. to act. The congress adj

dition in which it stood when the con-
gress convened.
Meanwhile it appears tina the Com

laying its cable. 1t also made applica-
ton to the president for access to and
use of ~soundings taken by the U. S. S.
Nero, for the purpose of discovering a
practicable route for a trans-Pacific
cable, the company urging that with &C
cess to these s~oundings it could complete
its cable much sooner than if it were

subject, 1t appeared important and de-

the permission to examine and use the
soundings, if it should be granted.

were formulated. upon which the nresi-

that some such measure as that which has

would in itself be an advance toward deal

end in view, the congress should endow
