the President would be authorized tC make a contract for the cable under cer- tain specified conditions. The rule was adopted, 10S to 73. Consider ation of the bill was then began.
 Mir. Coriss. the first speaker, said: This measure provides for Government cable uniting our islands in the Pacific with the American continent. By it's terms, the cable shall be American-made. laid by American ships. and managed by the American Government.
 He argued that no one had right 10 lay a cable without the permission or con- gress. He placed the cost of construction at not exceeding $l0.0o0,o00 and the cost of operation at $4J0.0O0 per annum A Government survey of the route aireaoy had been made, he said, at an expense or 500 900. 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 to snow the existence of cable monopoiy ana it's purposes, stating that the cable com pany had control of cable commun:ca- tions with the far East and controls over 900 miles of submarine cables. It had an exclusive monopoly in China. he sald, until l930 and It's Spanish grant In the Philippines ran until 1940. He contended that the Commercial Pacific Gable Com pany, which proposes to lay cable to Hawaii and thence to Manila was merely the American branch or ally of the East ern cable monopoly.
 Mir. Corliss dwelt upon the efect upon our military control in the Pacific sh ouid a foreign corporation be permitted to own this cable and he argued that the only way to break down the monopoly was for the Government to own. con- struct and operate the cable. Mir. Corhs3 read letters from Captain Squier, Of the signal service who. he said, had been in charge of the cable interests in the Phil ippines for three years and from Admiral Bradford as to the necessity for Gov ernment cable and the existence of ca ble monopoly in the Orient.
 Here we are at this very moment. Mir. Corliss in conclusion said. with eight millions of people in the Philip pines our military and civil governments without communication, severed from all the world and the battleships of our navy being used as dispatch boats to car ry communica ations to our people,"
 Bills were passed to authorize the Nash vile Terminal Company to bridge the Cumberland River in Davidson county, Tenn, and to authorize the Hartman Southern Railroad Company to bridge the Tennessee River at Caney Creek.
 It was ordered that there be d session Sunday, June %, at II o'clock. to be de- voted to eulogies on the life and charac- ter of the late Representative Cummings of New York.
 At o'clock the House adjourned.

TO PUT WIRES
 UNDERGROUND Mayor Joseph HaltS the
 Erection of Poles. SOUTH COURT OBJECTS Fashionable Dis trict Residents
 Register Grievance. Telephone Company Compelled to Suspend Work for Few Days Until Matter Can Be
 Investigated.

Mayor Jospeh of Montgomery yesterday afternoon directed the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company to suspend its work of putting up poles on South Court Street for few days until an effort can be made to have the wires on that street put under ground
 This action Of the Mayor was due to complaints having reached the executive officer from residents of the street, one of the most fashionable thoroughfares in the city.
 Heretofore wires have reached tele- phones on South Court Street by way of roofs of buildings from poles on South Perry Street and on Sayre Street, the two thoroughfares running parallel with South Court Street and on the east and west side respectively. This arrange ment was made because of the we'll known objection of residents of Court Street to the erection of polesUn that thorougnrare. Another objection to poles on Court Street was that a main sewer Is built directly under the sidewalks and poles could not be placed on the street with safety.
 The number of subscribers to telephone service on south court street mas STOWfi to such a point that the telephone com pany deemed 1t advisable 10 erect poles there and having franchise to erect poles and string wires on the street the work was begun yesterday at point where Scott Street intersects South Court Street.
 Citizens in this vicinity protested to the workmen without avail and finally an appeal was made to Mayor Joseph. The Mayor left his office and went to the scene of the trouble in person. He listened to the complaint of the citizens and then sought the officials of the tele- phone company. An agreement was finally reached whereby the work of erect ing the poles is to be temporarily sus- pended.
 Mayor Joseph said yesterday that he hoped to be able to have the wires laid underground on South Court Street.
 The telephone company several months ago, in compliance with city ordinance completed the work of putting it's wires underground in the business district of Montgomery.
