Whereas, the Territory of Hawaii
separated from the Mainland by 2Ox
miles of ocean: that the only Communi-
cation with the Mainland is by mall
steamers sailing irregularly, but APP
proximately six days apart; that one
week is consumed by these steamers in
reaching San Francisco, and that to
receive a reply to letter takes about
three weeks; and
Whereas, the inconvenience to the
government and people and the losses
TO the shipping and traders of this Ter
ritory consequent upon this irregular
and slow communication are excessive
and hardly to be borne; and
Whereas, it has come to the knowl-
edge of this Chamber that Mr.. Mackay
has offered to Immediately lay cable
connecting these Islands with the
Mainland without cost to the Govern
ment Of the United States, and sub
= ject to the condition that the rates for
5 use of said cable shall be reasonable:
Now, therefore, be It resolved, That
L this Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
desires to express itself as strongly
