WASHINGTON, January 2S.-The
first definite and decisive step toward
the building of a cable between the
United States, the Hawaiian Islands,
Guam and the Philippines was taken
today when the Interstate Commerce
Committee, voting 8 to T. agreed to re-
port favorably the COrlss Government
ownership cable bill,
1t is apparent therefore, that the
question of wire communication be-
tween the western slope of the United
States and the far-eastern countries is
we'll on the way toward final settle
ment. For many years a Pacific cable
has been agitated. Propositions with
out number, all having the same gem
eral purpose in view have been brought
before Congress In one form or another
for the last quarter of a century, but
before today no definite steps were
taken.
Secretary Root, in his annual report
to Congress, spoke of the immediate
necessity Of the construction of a ca
BILE between the United States and the
far-eastern countries In his first an
nual communication to Congress, Pres
ident Roosevelt backed up the SeCre-
tary of War, urging Congress to au-
thOrize the cable

everybody is agreed, but there has been

WE'RE Short of EOOD

If the bark SonOma had not made port
this morning, her crew would probably
have been living off climate by the end
of the week. When the vessel reached
the harbor her stores consisted of the
following, 10 sacks Of -four, p bbl OF
meat, 20 pounds coffee and pounds tea.
She lad been out SO days from New
castle and Captain Stinsland was be-
ginning to worry over how he would be
able to feed his crew of about Is men.
The vessel was becalmed for one
week off Hawaii. On Sunday morning
she was off this port but the strong
north east wind blew her to the south
ward and she could not beat back un-
til this morning She is anchored in
the stream.
The vessel is loaded very heavily with
coal and is thought by some to be over
loaded i'm fact She is leaking some-
what and the wind pump had to be kept
working The leak is of no material
consequence.

court in equity to compel w. c, AChi
to prouuce. Ach is according to the
claim of MagOOn, about $4,000 to the

trouble.
According to the complaint filed tor
day by MagOOn he entered into an
agreement with W. c. Achi, for the pur-
chase of lots %, 26 and p in the King
street tract In Kewalo for the sum Of
So, 500. There was a mortgage on the
place held by G.. NJ. Cooke but Achi re-
presented, according to the complaint
that he could secure cancellation. Ma
gOOn alleges to have paid $4,000 from
time to time with which AChi was sup
posed to secure the cancellation from
Mr., Cooke. This agreement was made
on April, 100. MagOOn learned, so he
alleges, that Achi could not effect the
release although tender was made Of
the remaining $l5O0, Cooke also re-
fused to cancel the mortgage for this
amount claiming that $500 was due.

TO SEND KOREA BY
THAT ROUTE.
Means She VIII Stop Here Before MAX
ing San Francisco-WiIl BE out Prob
ably in a Month.

According Co the present plans of the
Pacific Mail Company officials, the ko-
rea win not be sent around Cape Horn
but will come out To- San Francisco by
way of the SueZ canal This means
that Honolulu people win have the
chance to inspect the new liner before
her home port viii have that uppOrtuu-
ity.
Up to a short time ago, it was planned
to- run big excursion party from New
York around to San Francisco on the
Korea but this would have necessitatei
liking up an extra number of berths
which would not have been available
for the regular passenger business of
the vessel. This temporary fitting
would have entailed an expense of about
$50 900 so it was finally decided To aban-
don the idea of the special excursion.
Instead Of this scheme the more FEAST
BILE one of having the boat go to New
York and get a special cargo of freight
for Oriental points and come out by
way Of the Suez canal was decided up-
on The Korea will be In commission
about March 1 and will leave Newport
News shortly after that time on her
way to San Francisco.
The intention of the agents I'm San
Francisco is to have her on the regular
oriental run about June /. 1t is pOssi-
bic that the plans may DE changed at
the last moment and the vessel be sent
around by Cape Horn instead of
through the Suez canal. The Straits of
Magellan are too dangerous a passage
TO risk sending the Korea through that
narrow place SO if she does come around
South America she will beyond doubt.
go around the cape although that is a
very stormy passage.
Just who the men are TO occupy the
subordinate positions is not known

yards some months ago to superintend
the placing of the boilers, is'expected IL

ALAMEDA LIKELY TO MEET HEAD
SEAS.
Hong Kong Maru Reports Heavy North
Easterly Swell ON Her Trip From san
Francisco.

The Alameda did not get away for
San Francisco until about 4 o'clock yes
terday. The vessel had been scheduled
TO depart at 3 o'clock and there was a
big crowd at the wharf before that
time. The visitors had to leave the
vessel at 3 o'clock for the gangplanlS
was lowered at that time The vessel
waited fully another hour before her
lines were cast loose, and she got under
way. Most of the crowd had taken
their departure before the boat got un-
der way however.
The vessel win probably experience
as rough a trip as she has met with in
many months. Preparations were made
made before the vessel sailed to battle
with the head seas and adverse winds
which she will have to buck from the
time she leaves kOko Head. How long
the rough weather will last is matter
of conjecture of course. 1t is more than
likely though that she will have the
rough weather the entire trip TO the
Coast. February is always the heaviest
month for the northeast trades Cap
tain FilmeT of the Hong Kong Maru
which arrived yesterday from San
Francisco reports that the trades do not
extend more than several hundred miles
beyond the islands.
Everything was made fast before the
Alameda departed as it was desired to
prevent lne cargo SnllJnB OF any LhluB
getting loose. The vessel was loaded
evidently with a view to battling with
the head seas and winds for she was
about two feet down by the stern,
drawing about 10 feet aft and II feet
forward.
The Hong Kong Maru had a heavy
northeasterly swell during all of her
passage and as the Alameda will have
to buck this all of the way, she will

Some speculation was INDUCED in as
to what the tickets, as they appeared
to be- could be meant for by the en-
ployes of the Office and it was finally
concluded that they were some form Of
lottery ticket.
On learning who the man was who
ordered them Mr.. ShiOzawa gave orders
that the job should be cash on delivery.
Later another man, also known to Shl-
ozaWa, came in and took the ten thou
sand tickets paying thirty dollars for
the job. These names are withheld at
present pending further investigation.
About ten days ago it came to the
knowledge of ShiOzaWa that his own
name together with those Of two friends
was being exploited quietly as the Ori-
ginators of a lottery scheme, although
not desiring to have their names pub
liclv connected with it, The bank was
also mentioned as carrying the funds.
Following the trail ShioZawa and his
friends secured some tickets which then
numbered 1900 odd recognizing them as
those printed at the ShinpO office and
instituted further proceedings to dis
cover who had been using their names.
The Shinpo of Tuesday published
these facts editorially and advertised
an offer of one hundred dollars reward
for any one who could give information
showing who had identified their names
with this bogus lottery scheme. They
are still conducting their enquiries and
will thoroughly exploit the false ma
ture of the whole affair in the Japanese
press.

SET YOUR WATCH.

Hitch your wagon to a star." says
 Emerson. Set your watch by star.
 You must set your watch by sta if you wish to be up with the times these days Out of the vast number of stars in the heavens, and visible to the eye at night. and out Of the much greater multitude that celes- tial photography is bringing forth on it's negatives, there are some 600 that may be depended upon. stars that have So long been watched by the astronomers that they are known to be practically invariable Any one Of these you may set your watch by, but it would be rather a difficult thing for you to pick out the star you wanted yourself, and even if you should select the right one, you would net be likely to know just how to gc to work to regulate your timepiece.
 For about two centuries most o1 these GOO stars have been under the critical eyes of the astronomers, who have measured their exact places fn the sky again and again It has thu come to be known that these stars cross the meridian of any place ai certain times every night. The me- ridian of any place is the line the sun crosses there at noon-an imag- mary line from pole to pole, directly overhead, dividing east and west
 The times when the stars so cross the meridian are predicted by the as tronomers years in advance, and ta bles are made which are exact to { small fraction of a second. After the astronomers, through long series of years of testing, found this out. il occurred to somebody that here was a perfect test of timepieces. Per haps we owe 1t mainly to the grea railroad comnanias that the time o1 the country finally became regulate throughout the length and breadth o1 the land. Railroad companies mus have regularity in their schedules they cannot run their trains accord ing to clocks. and watches that do no agree; priceless human life and prop erty beyond valuation would pay tht penalty of such policy.-Fron the S Nicholas.
