DOWN WENT
GRAHAM
POLLY
Now tho Scott Wrecking Co. Of
New London viii Bring Her
Back TO tho Surface.

The barge Graham's Polly, which arriv-
ed on Wednesday In this port with car
go of Col tons OF soft coal for the Eastern
Coal company. sunk at the Little station
of the compony late yesterday afternoon
with about GOO tons of her cargo.
The barge is old and long since saw her
best days, but in view of the needs OF
carrying tonnage of any kind she has
been kept in sersice. The barge was
hauled into the wharf. just below Point
street on the west side OF the river yes
terday and the big coal buckets soon re-
lieved her of about SO tons OF cool
When this coal had been taken from one
Of the forward matches the stern sank and
the barge began 10 leak badly. This was
not noticed until too late and then II was
impossible to do anything. SO when
sufficient quantity OF water had filled the
hold the Polly dropped gracefully down
to tht muddy bottom below.
The barge was today in about 20 feet OF
water at low tide. with the house above
the water considerably at low water. Be
sides the cost OF raising the coal and the
old barge the blocking up Of the wharf
is serious when every available facility
for discharging coal Is needed and Is run
10 the limit The Scott Wrecking COM
pany will pump the coal out OF the barge,
close the matches and pump her out. and
after the barge is light there will be no
difficulty In floating her.
The loss to the Eastern Coal company
Is considerable I'm the form OF delay. OF
course the owner OF the barge will pay
for his own repairs and the cost OF rails
ing, but there is great Inconvenience
which has followed the sinking of the
barge and IL may be several days before
she will be floated

FIRST SECTION OF THE PACIFIC
CABLE in WORKING ORDER.

Honolulu. Jan. BY courtesy of the
Commercial Pacific Gable company the
Associated Press Is permitted to tender
congratulations on the completion Of the
first section Of the submarine cable that
is to connect the United States with the
continent Of Asia.
The cable was completed at s:45 o'clock
last night. when the two ends were
brought together in Molokai channel. 35
miles from Honolulu. where the San
Francisco end had been buoyed since
Dec. a.
Shortly after communication was es-
tablished the fact was announced TO the
crowd In waiting. and was greeted with
applause. Judge Cooper, representing
Governor Dale. who was absent from the
Roosevelt. announcing the opening, and
extending, greeting from the citizens
The public celebration, which has been

nearer the parent continent, puts an I'M
portant but hitherto Isolated community
and susceptible to all the Industrial I'm
petus which follows ready accessibility.
SPLICING OF THE CABLES.
The final splicing OF the ends in the
waters which for days had rendered
cable work impossible marked the first
stage of the undertaking to span the
vastest ocean with a line of electric COM
munication. the need OF which has long
been acknowledged by the entire world
and the advocacy of which has often
claimed the attention OF the highest
councils. political and financial OF Amer

CREDITORS MEET.

meeting OF the creditors Of the Riv-

O'Clock.
The committee appointed TO arrange
some plan OF adjustment. consisting Of l..
Sweet. Henry Craw. r A. Thissell and
James =. Kenyon reported that they had
come 10 the conclusion that II would be
best 10 request Mr. Hawkins OF the Riv-

There was some discussion, which ended
I'm Mr. Gardner OF Gardner & Comstock
making the motion that Mr.. Hawkins be
requested 10 file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy and II was so decided
About $4,000, OF the creditors capital
involved was represented. The total In
debtedness is somewhat over $4,000. The
failure OF Geo. r. Boyden was the imme-

years ago OF connecting the continents
OF North America and Asia by telegraph
via Behring Straits. the practicability Of
the Pacific cable has had many periods OF
buoyancy and depression.
LIKE ALL GREAT PROJECTS.
The history OF the project, like that OF
all great achievements, was one OF open
opposition and patient perseverance,. Its
advent Honolulu hailed by all
classes as a boon TO her commercial In
terests and stimulus TO her material and
social progress. Even the quaint Hawaii
ans. whose splendid isolation has lent a
romantic interest TO their island homes.
forgot for the time being the sacrifices
OF romance and poetry TO utilita-ianism
and greeted the landing Of the cable upon
their soil with an enthusiasm second only
to that which marked the departure of
the Silvertown from California's Shores
In keeping with the precedent established
at San Francisco fortnight before the
end of the two thousand miles strand wasl
hauled upon the coral beach OF Oahu
Island on December 2s. The point OF
landing was at the beautiful private park
of Sans Souci Beach. five miles east OF
the city of Honolulu.
With the shore end landed there still
remained a span of almost two score OF
miles to be closed between the buoyed
deep sea end In Molokai channel and the
heavy beach line laid half mile out from
shore. The closing OF this gap proved
task that taxed the patience as wei, as
the ingenuity of the Silvertown's stan.
Five days elapsed, the most of which
were spent In awaiting the favor OF the
wind and sea, before their labors were
completed and the first signal flashed
along the entire length OF 1000 and more
miles.
