COMPLETION OF HAWAII CABLE.
[San Francisco Chronicle.l

[San Francisco Chronicle.l
II was a fitting ceremonial that tele-
graphic communication should be es'
tablished between Hawaii Territory
and the mainland OF the United States
on the first day of the new year. Much
anxiety was caused in the public mind
by the unexpected delay in landing the
shore end at Honolulu. The cable was
laid so expeditiously and successfully
along the deep floor of the ocean be-
tween here and the splicing point on
the Hawaiian coast that the difficulties
and delays incident to'the landing OF
the shore end had been completely oV'
erlooked. San Francisco had actually
forgotten the experiences OF cable
landing on the ocean beach OF this Pc
ninsula, and regarded the buoying OF
the western end Of the long deep'sea
cable in the ofiing outside the reef at
Honolulu as the practical completion
of the great enterprise. They natur-
ally became impatient at the delay
The passing of day after day without
any signal from the island end aroused
fears among the uninitiated that the
enterprise had failed.
All doubt regarding that has now
been happily dispelled. We now know
that the delay in the completion OF the
cable connection at Honolulu was due
to natural conditions which required
time to overcome. Perfect Geographic
communication was finally established
before the close of New Years Day. A
long list of congratulatory messages
has since been transmitted through
the cable, which proves 1t is in perfect
working order. The promoters and
builders of the enterprise are to be
heartily congratulated on the result.
A new commercial relationship has
been established between us and the
mid-ocean Territory by this happy
event. 1t may be said to have altered,
also, our political relationship. Prac'
tically. Hawaii is no longer non-con'
tiguous territory, but an integral part
of the United States. Perhaps the ca
BILE will be the means OF converting
Congress and the courts to this view OF
the present situation. Hawaii is today
in closer touch with the Mainland than
the Farallones or the islands of the
Santa Barbara channel. Henceforth
the daily history of Honolulu and its
environments will be as well known to
us as to its own people. Intelligent
intercourse between the latter and the
