SUBSIDIZED RAILROADS.
All Companies Have Settled Their In.
dentedness With the Government.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The annual
report of Gen. Longstreet, the COM
missioner Of railroads, says that of the
railroad companies which have re-
ceived government subsidies in bonds,
all have settled their indebtedness
with the government, except the Cen
trail Branch Railway Co., the successor
of the Central Branch Union Pacific
Railway Co. The report of the bond

ations of the roads, embraces the prin-
cipal laws of congress that relate to
the bond-aided and Immigrant rail-
roads. and includes abstracts Of the
decisions of the supreme court in cases

ARE laying THE CABLE
The Shore End at San Francisco
Successfully Landed.
The First Message Over the Cable
Was Sent From the Shore to
the Chief Engineer on
the Vessel.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-"In memory
of John w. Mackay, christen the Pa
cifc cable. May it always carry mes
.sages of happiness"
With these words Lucille Gage, the
i11-year-old daughter Of H. L. Gage,
governor of California, Sunday, chris
tened the trans Pacific cable and break
ing a bottle of champagne over the
shore end inaugurated a new era in
the commercial development of the
Pacific coast. The landing and splic-
ing of the shore end which is to con.
meet the main land with Honolulu,
was accomplished without hitch of any
kind. and was witnessed by 10000 or
10000 people. Ideal weather prevailed,
their being scarcely any surf.
Early Sunday morning the steamer
Newsboy, carrying six miles of cable,
steamed close in shore, off Bakers
beach, south of the Cliff house, and
through a life-saving boat, sent ashore
a rope to which the cable was attached.
The work of hauling in the cable
was done so eXpeditiously that the Of
ficials arrived on the beach only two
minutes before the cable was landed.
The great bundle of wires touched the
beach and was christened at $3.50
O'Clock While the cable was being
lspliced to the land end, Mayor Schmitz
delivered a short speech, congratulate
ing Clarence Mackay on the successful
beginning of the work. He also spoke
of the importance of the undertaking
and the benefit to the world at large
that would result from it's completion.
Clarence w. Mackay, president of
the Commercial Cable Co., thanked the
mayor and those present.
Gov H. T. Gage, on behalf of the
state of California, paid a fervent trib-
lute to the late John W. Mackay. The
formal exercises closed with cheers for
the cable and all those taking part
in it's landing.
Refreshment tents were erected on
the beach and while the cable was be.
ing spliced Mr.. Mackay served cham
payne and other refreshments to a
large number of specially invited
guests. Mr. Mackay also sent a tele-
igram to President Roosevelt announc.
ing the event.
When the splicing was completed
late in the afternoon horses were
thitched to the end and the cable was
drawn through the conduit to the ca.
bile station At the same time the
steamer Newsboy steamed out to sea
five miles and anchored the cable with
balloon buOys. 1t was picked up by
the cable steamer Silvertown and ia,
ken aboard. The splicing to the main
body was completed Sunday night and
the Silvertown headed for Honolulu at
a seven knot speed.
The first message over the cable was
sent from shore to Chief Engineer Be.
NEST on the Silvertown, congratulating
him on the successful landing. Sew.
leral tests were made as the cable was
being laid out by the Newsboy and it
was found to be in perfect condition.
A portion of the cable was cut up
into 5000 bits for souvenirs and dis.
attributed by President Mackay among
his guests.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 15.-Pres-
ident Mackay received a message
from the Silvertown at midnight, say
ing that everything was working to
perfection.
