DEMOCRATS ARE
NOW HOME RULERS

There was indignation in the ranks
of the Democratic party in Honolulu
today, when the news became known
that a committee representing the par
ty had fused with Home Rulers on
basis of endorsing Wilcox for Con-
gress, in exchange for promises by the
Home Rulers to give support to some
of Democratic candidates for the leg
isature. The Bourbons met in Waver-
ley hall last night, and ratified the
agreement to fuse.
It's for the sake of the party's flu
ture," said Col Mccarthy. The Re-
publicans wouldn't give us what we
wanted in fusing, and so we Joined
with the Home Rulers" In conferen-
ces with Republican leaders the DEM
ocrats were not promised as many Of
fees as they thought they ought to
have, and they finally came to terms
with the Home Rulers.
The action of the committee is re-
pudiated by a large proportion of the
rank and file of the Democracy, many
members of the party Directing to as
ISOLATION with Wilcox and Home Rul-
ers. The men who arranged the flu
sion say that the party will be in a bet
ter position in the next campaign, than
if it fused with the Republicans. Next
time" said one of Them I'VE will make
all the Home Rulers Democrats, and
we shall be the strongest party in the
Territory. If we went in with the Re
publicans we should lose all our
strength for the future"
The leaders in last nights meeting
were Col BILLY" Cornwell Col. Nc
earthly. Charlie Creighton, d. G.. CANA
rnos, Tommy Lucas, Fred Terrll and
Frank Harvey. 1t is said that other
Democrats will hold a meeting of pro-
test, to repudiate the action of the
fusionists.

SLOW WITH RHODES SCHOLAR
SHIP.

LONDON, August 16.-It is likely to
be 1904 before any of the scholars who
receive appointments under the terms
of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes will
arrive at oxford University. The ex-
ecutOrs of the will find so many intri-
cate details to be arranged that there
is little hope of getting the curious sys-
tenn working earlier.
George Robert ParlIin, principal of
Upper Canada College, Toronto, who
has been appointed by the executors
to prepare a plan for the allotment of
the scholarships provided for in the
will and who left London August 18th
on the White Star steamer Oceanic for
New York, will make a tour of the
British colonies to ascertain the views
of the local authorities and report
thereon. The executors will then draw
up regulations governing the eligibility
of candidates for scholarships and with
regard to other matters involved in the

HOW CABLE ARE
LAID IN OCEAN

There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any
section of the oceans of the world, no
matter how great the depth. Some por-
lions of the Atlantic cables
are over three miles below the surface
and this is not necessarily the extreme
depth for the cable may, and probably
does, pass from the top of one sub
marine hill to another, without droop-
ing materially into the deep valleys be-
tween. The greatest known depth of
the sea is 4O236 feet, or seven three
ffths miles, found in the South Attain
tic, about midway between the island
of Tristan d'Acunha and the mouth Of
the Rio e la Plata.
Soundings have been made to the
depth of % 4S0 feet in the North Attain
tic south of New Foundland and about
$4,000 feet, or nearly six and h If
miles, is reported south of the Bermu-
das Even such enormous depths az
these need not hinder cable laying, so
far as the theory is concerned but IN
practice, for seasons of economy in
maintenance and otherwise, it is found
best to take advantage of favoring con-
ditiOns in the oceans bed. To illustrate
all of the cables between the United
States and Europe run up along our
coast uitil they reach the neighborhoOd
of Newfoundland before starting across
to their destinations in Ireland and
France. The reason for this is found
in the range of submarine table lands,
forming an ideal cable bed, which lies
between the three latter countries.
In past years immense portions of
this submerged territory have been
plotted and mapped by various govern
mental and private expeditions, and
this knowledge is constantly being add
ed to. 1t becomes particularly valu-
able in economic cable laying. Except
in extreme cases, the electric conductor
is not dropped overheard haphazard.
On the contrary, the submarine noun
tans valleys and plains over which it
is to take it's sinuous course are ac-
curately selected beforehand, and their
general cOntguratiOn, soil covering, if
any, and other pecularities properly
taken into consideration. Special va
rieties of cable are manufactured to
meet certain conditions known to exist
where they are to go. Like men in all
trades the cable layers must adhere
closely to the specifications given them
in starting in order to peri )rm the right
kind of work.
The steamship, therefore, while going
ahead and paying out the cable over
the stern pulley, is under the guidan".
of skilled hands, following out GER
tain path, which has been pointed OUT
for her by sages on the mainland as
being the best adapted for the comfort
and ease of the electrical conductor she
is depOsting.-Lip Magazine.

ALFONSO FEELS HIS OATS.

MADRID, August 2O.-King Alfonso
continues to embarrass his encourage
by his unconventional doings. Visiting
the Cathedral of Leon yesterday he
shocked the holy men of the place by
facetious remarks about the saints
whose remains are treasured in chests.
He then went up to the organ loft to
play a chant Suddenly he struck up
march and cried out loudly, 'Atten-
ton, quick march,"
Alfonso on leaving the cathedral
jumped a small fence and commanded
the aged dean to follow his example,
but graciously excused the deans ODE
dience, as the feat was physically inn
possible for the aged dignitary.
These recent pranks and eccentrici-
ties add force to the gossip started by
previous outbreaks and fears are open
ly expressed concerning the Kings
sanity.

Why Not CenSure Dewey1

From The Philadelphia Times.
Attention has been called to
the fact that Admiral Benham
and Admiral Ramsay have each
a son in the navy, while Ad-
miral Dewey alone has no fav.
ors to ask of the department.
But is Dewey entirely UMPIRE.
JUDGED? Who knows of what
disregard of orders he was
guilty while the cable was cut
that time? And how would he
like to have his conduct at Ma.
Mia investigated? Did he not
stop in the very midst of the en-.
gagement and draw off for
breakfast? Did not that show
cancellation, dilatoriness and
lack of enterprise?" And where
was his written plan of battle?
The fact is that Dewey's whole
proceedings, from the time he
left Hong Kong, were in con.
slant violation of precedent
and of the navy regulations.
If the bureau of navigation
could have got at him, there is
no doubt that he would have
been reproved. And if Benhdm
and Ramsay had been sitting
on him, we may be sure they
would have found him guilty
1t is no wonder that Dewey
sympathized with Schley.
