ACCEPTANCE FAVORED
ADMIRAL BRADFORD ON CABLE
CoMPANY's OFFER.
Would Surrender Information Gained
in Soundings Taken by the
Nero in 1899.

The offer of the Commercial Pacific Cable
Company to finish the work of laying a
cable across the Pacific a year earlier and
give the government the benefit of reduced
rates for communication. in exchange for
the information developed in the Soundings
taken by the United States steamship Nero
in her survey of 1899, has been referred by
Secretary Moody to the Attorney General
for an opinion. Admiral Bradford, chief
of the naval bureau of equipment. under
whose jurisdiction the survey was made
prepared report on the subject for the
Secretary's guidance, and recommended the
acceptance of the companys offer, though
IT is said, under conditions which are re-
garded in some quarters as rather strin-
gent. The matter at this stage has as
sumed phase which the Secretary re-
CARDS of sufficient complexity to war
rant its submission to the head of the law
department of the government.
The Nero began her survey in 1899 at Hon
olulu, and from that point her route led
to the Midway Islands then to Guam, and
then to Luzon, Philippine Islands. Along
this route, Asp knots in length, Sj3 sound
ings were taken. The characteristics OF
the bottom soil and the temperature of the
surface water were observed at each sound
ing station together with frequent obser-
vations of specific gravity. bottom temper
ature and the currents of the ocean. The
Nero also completed a line of soundings
from Guam up to Yokohama. Japan. The
cruise of the Nero also developed the fact
that two offsets to the great circle route
contemplated between the Midway Islands
and Guam were necessary to avoid obsta-
ces to successful cable laying and opera
ton. The first of these obstacles was en-
countered in a submarine mountain, Sit
uated a short distance westward of the
Midway Islands, and rising from the floor
of the ocean, which there sinks to a depth
of 300 fathoms to within eightytwo
fathoms of the surface. The second OBJ
stacle was one of the deepest submarine
abysses yet found in the world. situated
about 800 miles eastward of Guam, and
sinking to depth of more than 1900 faith

Style of Architecture

The style of architecture has not been de-
fined by any legisIa ton, but if the sugges-
ton of the park commission be adhered to
II will be of white marble of pure classical
style, with four floors only. A difficulty
that may be involved Will be that it will
greatly restrict the area. so that there are
likely to be advocates OF a higher building,
giving more floors.

pany that the property cost the company

To transfer il to the government is re-
garded doubtless true.
The papers that Were sent by the Treas
ury Department yesterday to the Attorney
General Will reach the district attorney to-

or as soon as ii is possible.
There is every reason to believe that the
transfer of the property will be effected
within a very few days, possibly by Mon
