DAY, will early next week take Up the problem

Whether decision to change to some other
motive power Will be made cannot be told now
Many details Will be talked over. Among the
sllans under advisement is one that contempIates
a change from steam TO electricity as q motive
Spower in the tunnel. Another contemplates the
immediate installation of an electric plant in the
Sunnel with myriad lights to make it bright even
swhen there is a smother of steam. smoke and
vapor. Another plan provides for change of

1ishment OF a system by which the signal lights
are shown I'm the cab Of the engineer instead of

congestion, is another subject for discussion.

KILLED C0RLISS BILL.
chairman Cannon Had Plenty of
Help in Finishing 1t.


Help in Finishing II.
Washington, June 1.-THE House to-
day dispatched the Corliss Pacific cable
Dill by the same method it adopted
yesterday in the case of the forest re-
serve bill. 1t struck out the enacting
clause of the measure by a vote of 116
10 "a, thus giving no opportunity to
test the strength of the Dalzell substi-
tute' which authorized the President
70 contract with private company for
the laying of cable. The speakers to-
DAY were Messrs. Shackelford of Mis-
sour, Mann of Illinois, Morrell of
pennsylvania, and Tompkins of Ohio
Tor the bill, and Messrs. Richardson of
Alabama, Newlands of Nevada, Loud
OF California and Cannon of Illinois
against it.
May Not Need Wires.
Mr.. Richardson of Alabama referred
at some length to the possibilities in
the development of wireless telegraphy
and argued that it would be unwise,
on the threshold of the development
OF the new system, for the government
to expend $15,0OO,0 or $40, 900, 600 for
submarine cable, which might be
valueless in a few years. 1t was bet
NN-' Az SoANt " cAlOh d private COIil-
pany to take whatever risk was in
volved. Mr.. Richardson then read the
contract under the post roads act of
1866, which the Commercial Cable
Company agreed to make with the
Secretary of the Treasury covering
the sale of the cable in case of neces-
sity to the government, the control
of the cable by the government in
time of war, etc. He argued that these
terms were in every way very ad-
Vantageous to the government.
Mr.. Richardson declared that as an
economic business proposition the gov
eminent cable was unjustiiable and he
quoted from the Commerce Commit
tees report against a former bill of
this kind to the effect that the gov
eminent cable would cost ST., 1000, 900 and
would chiefly benefit 300 foreigners and
100 American citizens. He read a letter
from John W. Mackay of the CONNER
cial Cable Company guaranteeing that
the company would build an all-Amer-
lean cable and not touch upon foreign
soil
The Cable Now Being Laid.
Mr.. Adamson of Georgia made the
motion to strike out the enacting
clause. To prove that the Commercial
Gable Company was proceeding with
the work of constructing the cable it
proposed to lay, he read a cablegram
from London, dated to-day and signed
by G. E. Ward, vice president, certify
ing that 1,065 nautical miles of the cable
to be laid between San Francisco and
Honolulu had been completed and that
the work was proceeding at the rate
of 26 miles a day. The cablegram said
that a steamer would leave with the
cable for San Francisco before Aug. /.
Mr.. Adamson said the bill was one
of Mr.. Cannon's mad dogs which should
have its tail cut off just behind the
ears.
