The cable needed to lay the line be-

Molokai to Maui was manufactured
and laid but it was of such inferior
construction that it was never used.

but was never able to do so.
THE PACIFIC CABLE COMPANY.
In 1889. the subject of cable COM
munication with California again came
to the front in Hawaii and a company
was incorporated under the name of
the Pacific Cable Company on July 3,
1889, the incorporators being: w. G..
Irwin, H. P. Baldwin, H. F. Glade, P.
c. Jones, H. A. Widemann, Paul Isen-
berg. James Campbell. G. n. Wilcox,
]. T. Warehouse NJ. P. Robinson, S.

Cecil Brown and T. H. Hebron.
The purpose of the company was as
stated in its charter to be the con
struction, laying and maintaining ca
bles between Hawaii and California
and between Hawaii and the Empire of
Japan"
The capital stock was placed at
81 600, 900 with the privilege of subse-
quent extension to 100000 900 and
$3.50, 900 worth of stock was subscribed

A. S. Hartwell was the leading spirit
in the formation of the company and
was elected it's president.
Estimates of the cost of the cable,
and a cable ship, were procured from
experts who placed the expense in the
neighborhood of $4,000 00O
An effort was then made to secure
subscriptions to stock in San Francisco
but without success. The excessive
estimated cost and the unresponsive-
ness of San Francisco threw damper

always on the verge of a mental

The President of the Republic was
authorized to appoint an agent or
agents to secure information concern
ing the cable and cable ships to facil-
itate the carrying out of the act.
This was the most comprehensive
action taken thus far, and under it a
determined effort was made to secure
legislation at Washington.
A contract was Immediately entered
into under this act between the Hawa-
ian government and Colonel Y. S.
Spalding, authorizing the payment of
a subsidy of $4,000 per annum, which
contract was ratified by the legislature
on August IA, 1895.
After securing this contract with the
Republic of Hawaii, Mr.. Spalding form
ed a corporation in the United States
and sought a subsidy from Congress.

At this time the favorable disposition
of Hawaii and Of Congress towards
substituting Pacific cable attracted the
attention of others, and there began a
war OF conflicting interests, each of
which was strong enough to prevent

on the enterprise and nothing further
was done by the company.
GENERAL HARTWELL'S EFFORTS.
General a. S. Hartwen then took the
matter up individually. Largely
through his efforts the Hawaiian Leg
isiature passed a new act on November
IA, 1890, authorizing the Hawaiian
Government TO contract for the Con-
struction and Maintenance of Sub
marine Electric Telegraph Cables"
This act provided for the construc-
ton of cables from Hawaii to the
United States or elsewhere" the
granting of exclusive rights to land in
Hawaii for fifteen years from Janu-
airy 1, 1891; for a subsidy of $4,000
per annum for 10 years, and various
other details.
On December 18th, 1890, the Hawai-
ian Government entered into a con-
tract with General Hartwell, giving
him the privileges authorized by the
said act. provided he would gl1aran-
tee by January 1, 1892 to secure tele-
graphic communication with the
American continent by January L, 1894.
With this contract General Hartwell
went to San Francisco, organized
California corporation consisting OF
William Alvord, S. T. Alexander,
Charles r. Bishop, a. S. Hartwell,
Hugh Craig and others, and proceeded
to Washington, where he secured the
submission by U. S. Senator John
Mitchell of Oregon, of bill to the
Senate, on January n, 1901, giving the
company a franchise and subsidy. IN.
der the name of the Pacific Cable Com
pany, for the purpose of constructing
and operating submarine cables from
San Francisco to the Hawaiian Islands,
thence to New Zealand and Japan"
1t was so late in the session however
that the incorporation by special bill
was abandoned and the assistance to
the cable project sought through an
to the diplomatic appro-
bill by the addition of the
words:
'fThe President is hereby authorized
to contract for the entire work of lay
ing a submarine cable between the
United States and the Hawaiian |
Islands, and to direct the prosecution |
of the work, whenever such contract |
shall be made, and as part of the cost |
Of such cable the sum of 100000 is |
hereby subsidized"
General Hartwell offered, public spir-
llSOlyy W IL OfOl Allo LID w cIle1A AAebh-
chise to the American government if |
It would undertake to build the cable. |
This was the first of a long series of
bills introduced into Congress, and all
bearing upon the subject of a Pacific
cable.
This provision was voted almost
by the Senate and re-
,eived strong support in the House,
but coming to vote on the last day Of
he session failed to pass.
General HartwelPs franchise was ex-
ended later to the first day of January,
1898. The troublous days Of the rev.

He continued to agitate the subject,
and returned to Honolulu in 1887 Sc
| curing the passage Of a further act
by the Hawaiian legislature, which
authorized the Government to contract
| with him, or any others for an inter-
island cable and for a cable to the
North American continent.
An exclusive franchise for three
wears was authorized for the cable be-
airy L, 1888; with the proviso that the
exclusive feature should not be good
as against any foreign government.
The act also provided a subsidy Of
$50, 900 per year for fifteen years, if
cable communication was established
by January 1, 1891.
The Government was given free use
of the cable up to the amount of the
subsidy and rates were fixed.
The act also provided that the cable
company should lay an inter-island
cable for the Government at cost price.
A contract was made between the
Hawaiian Government and Mr.. Coote,
and he made strenuous endeavors to
secure assistance ITOm AuSlTdlld, OdH-
ada, England and the United States,
but finally failed.
THE BARTHOLOMEW CABLE.
In 1888 the legislature, at the in
stance of Mr.. Jas. Sherman Bartholo-
new, passed an act authorizing the
Government to contract with him, for
an exclusive right to lay and operate
an inter-island cable for ten years
from January 1, 1889.
A subsidy of $4,000 was appropriated
to be paid for the line to Maui, $4,000
for the line to Hawaii and $4,000 for
the Kauai line.
Rates were fixed at ten cents per
word for commercial rates; Govern |
ment and press messages at five cents !
per word.
In pursuance with the act contract I
was entered into by the Government i
with Mr.. Bartholomew and work be- |
gun.
On November Is, 1889, Hawaiian |
was incorporated which took |
over Mr. Bartholomew franchise. |
The capital stock of the company !
was 100000 with privilege of extern |
sion to $250,000.
