,, hoisting of the signals which indicated
that the cable was astern started for
the east, paying out the great line.
The progress of the ship was watch
ed from Diamond Head light by many
visitors, and the officials of the cable
company were just as anxiously wait
ing beside the tape which was being
unreeled through the recorder in the
main office. They had been informed
that they shCpld open the wire for
communication. at 1890 o'clock, and
when that hour was reached the re-
corder slip was sent through the
wheels which drew it under the pen
which receives the messages from the
outside world
Four minutes Of waiting and the first
waving line of slender tape told of the
setting to work of the speaking instru-
ments of the ship. The message was
strictly a service communication, but
it told of the picking up of the cable,
the splicing and the progress of the
ship to the East. 1t was announced
that half the distance to the buoy was
completed. that every thing was going
well, and that the ship would be able
to complete it's work
AT this time the lookout reported that
the ship was proceeding at the rate of
about seven miles. toward the East,
and no change OF course had been made
to permit the reaching of the sea end
buoy without direct alteration of the
plan of sailing. There was nothing
doing for three hours, for the cable ship
had announced that that length of time
would be taken up with tests, and then
the recorders again told in the waving
line of the alphabet that the end OF the
journey had been reached and without
any trouble at all the buoy had been
picked up and the San Francisco end
OF the cable was on board the ship. and
that everything was correct. After
some few minor messages the local
office was notified to look out for San
Francisco within four hours.
Then ensued the long wait which told
on the nerves of those who had spent
days in watching for the speaking Of
the Coast to the midocean. Slowly the
hours passed 1t was an anxious

With this message in his hand, Man
ager Dickinson stepped out into the
rotunda of the offices of the cable
company at SAL o'clock last evening
and announced that the cable between
Honolulu and the Pacific Coast of the
continent was open and working sue
cessfully In the office were gathered
a number of the representative citi-
zens of the city, and with him was
Secretary Cooper, and the announce
ment was greeted with cheers.
To be exact, this was eight minutes
after the recorder had shown that the
great task of bringing Hawaii within a
second of San Francisco had been fin
ished, as the sensitive instrument
which indicates the passage of the
electric impulse began to vibrate about
$50, and the preliminary service calls
occupied the first few minutes of the
action of the wire, and engrossed the
attention of the busy officials who
gathered about its end 1t was the cul-
mination of a generations hopes and
aspirations, and the people who saw
the working of the instrument could
not restrain a cheer.
The closing of the gap which inter
Vened between Hawaii and San Fran
cisco occupied the attention of every
one connected with the cable COM
pany yesterday. The cable ship Sill
vertown left the outside, where its
anchors had held since returning from
the unsuccessful trial of Monday, at
4:30 o'clock yesterday morning and at
once ran to the buoy which marked the
end of the line in the channel, some
six miles off Diamond Head This was
the end of the intermediate cable,
which had been joined to the rock line,
the laying of which had been the cause

ship was seen from shore to proceed
to the buoy and pick it up handily, and

Cable Day will be celebrated by great
meeting in the grounds of the Executive
Building this afternoon at 2 O'Clock, with
a Ball in the evening.

Now that the connection of the cable
has been made the celebration of the
opening of communication will be the
feature of today. 1t is expected that
the merchants and business men in
general will close their places of bus
mess at noon, and that the merrymak-
ing will consume the remainder of the
week.
The committee which will have in
charge the celebration of the event last
evening decided that the affair would
be made the feature of the afternoon.
The open air meeting will be held in
the grounds of the Executive building,
commencing at o'clock, and in the
time before the meeting and during the
intervals between speeches, there will
be music by the band. There will be
addresses by Secretary Cooper, Com
missioner Eustis, General A. S. Hart
we'll, Henry E. Hightoq,, and re-
sponse to Inc address of welcome by
the representative of the company, not
only here, but in the South Seas, S. S.
Dickinson, whose title of manager does
not tell all of his duties and honors,
for he is the personal representative of
Vice President Ward, with whom he
has been associated for nearly a gen
Grafton, and who will tell of the graf
of his principals upon the
of this first leg of the great
line across the Pacific.
The receipt of the message from the
President of the United States will be
the signal for a salute of 100 guns, and
there will be special musical features.
There will be, as well, other musical
and the afternoon will be Civ
sD over to merrymaking.
From half past six to eight o'clock
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-01-02

the fireworks display from the grounds
of the Capitol will be the feature and
after that hour will come the reception
,, by the Secretary of the Territory and
Mrs. Cooper, in the Executive building.
The guests of honor will be the men
from the cableship and they win be en-
tertained as well by several of the pri-
vate citizens who have met them during
their short stay.
The holding of the celebration today
will mean that there Will be present
many of those who have had to do with
the completion of the cable work. AS
soon as the local tests show that the
task has been well done and this should
be completed today, Mr.. Henry Benest,
the engineer in charge of the expedition,
and the staff of the India Rubber, Gutta
Percha and Telegraph company in gem
eral, will depart for the Coast on their
way to England. They are booked for

during which the cable stays in charge
of the contracting company.
Up to four o'clock this morning the
cable steamer Silvertown had not been
reported by the Diamond Head lookout.
This is taken by the officials OF the
cable company to mean that the vessel
had not succeeded in taking ON board
the marking buoy put down Monday.
This is a task which is extremely diff
cult at night and the vessel may have
decided to stand by the buoy until
morning. The lost buoy is presumably
in shore on the beach on the windward
side and this also may be recovered
by a search of the shore which could
be made only by daylight.
The delay of the return of the engi-
neers may mean some delay in the gen.
aral opening of the cable for general
business, but it is not re-
zarded as at all probable that the cele-
oration will be interfered with in the

however, as hundreds waited at the
