COUNTRY 10 BUILD ONE a Mr. Blaine’s Earnest Support of the Movement. SLAND CHA - FRONT CLEV Tt is believed im official circles that Mr. Hatch, the H:.waitan minister of foreign effairs, who arrived in San Francisco Sat- urday, is coming to this céty, for the ex- Press purpose of securing the consent of this government to the léase" oT one of the nds of the Hawatian repub itain, as a station for a sub- telegraph cable from Canada to Australia, with a connection between the proposed station and Honolulu. The cor- Fesponlence on this subject recently sub- mitted to Congress, showed clearly that the Hawaiian government desired to make the lease, and was only estopped from so doing by the reciprocity treaty with the Untted States, wherein the then king of Hawaii agreed that he would not “tease or other- wie dispose of, or create a lien upon, any port, harbor or other territory in his do- minion, or grant any special privilege or right cf use therein, to any other power, state or government.” The Hawatian gov- ernment has formally requested the United States government to so modify the treaty agreement 4s to permit the proposed lease, and it is thought that Mr. Hatch is now on his way to this city to assist Minister Thurs- ton in bringing about this result, if possi- le. Haweil Wants Geick Commanication. The willingness of the Hawaiian authori- tles to grant cable concessions to Great Britain is due to their great desire to es- tablish qiick communication with this con- tirent, coupted with their belief that the United States government wili give no financial aid to an independeut cable line between the United States and Hawaii. A Dill for aidin, enterprise which proposed laying a wire between California and Hono- lulu came up in the last Congress, but was amenifed in the House by providing simply ‘The main objection to the ap- in aid of the.cable was (hat, as is Were not a part of our territory, no national obligation to assist © establish connection with ere was not a sufficient promise of business for such a line to justify it as srely commercial enterprise. ‘The Practieability of a Cable. ability of a cable line between the U tates and Hawaii is fully es- tablished by four surveys made by the Tus- The surveys earora, Albatross and Thetis. of the Tuscarora were made many years ago. but those of the Albatross and the Thetis were mage between October, 1801, and May. 18%." ‘The general conclusion reacher Lieut. Commander Clover of the hydrographic office, as a result of these is that a practicable lane exists on the route to Hawati, having an average breadth of 300 miles, along which, at vari- ous points, are sharp peaks, arising ab- ruptly towerd the surface of the ocean.

The establishment sh cable staticn on one of the ands would possibly cause the abandonment of the French project. Mr. ¢ im 1591. In Febr »man, from the committee on foreign affairs, submitted a t in report recommending the passage of the bill to ircorporate the Pacific Cable Com- pany for the purpose of laying a subma- graph from San Francisco to the Hawaiian Islands and thence via Samoa to New Zealand, and also to Japan, and providing an arnual subsidy of $150,000 for att om years. Fine ¢ import: cable communication with Hawaii has been stagested to Congress in the messages of President veland and of President Har- ri and has also been urged by Secre- taries Bayard, Blaine and Tracy. The sev- erai boards of trade, chambers of com- and other industrial associations of the Pacific coast, at a conference held in Sen Franciseo in August, ISS, urged upon naress the importance of such a measure as is now proposed. There is no doubt that American cable to Hawait will eventual- ly be conrected with cable lines to Samoa, Fig. Yahi, Auckland and Yokohama. It s material to us whether or not such ex- peer shal! be made under the auspices of England, Germany, Russia or France, or of a combination of two or more of thes powers, provided the line of commu- nication between the North American con- tinent and the Hawaitan Islands is con- troilet by the United States. There is no rocm to doubt that unless there be an American cable soon, an English cable from Vancouver will be laid.

In the vast field of, oriental commerce now unfoliled from our Pacific borders no feature presents stronger recommendations for congressional action than the estab- lishment of communication by submarine telegraph with Hor olulu. ‘The geographical position of the Ha- jan group, in relation to our Pacific tes, creates a natural interdependency 1 mutuality of interest which our present > intended to foster, and which ommunication a logical and jal necessity.” His Recent Expressions. That President Cleveland may now be justly expected to exercise his “good offi- ces" in giving Great Britain a manifold ad- over the United States, in the mat- quick communication with the. Ha- *, is evidenced by the mes- gent to Congress on the 9th in- that message he indorsed the a British cable station on the following words: ss will see fit_to grant the request of the Hawalian government, and that our cerseat to the proposed lease will be promptly accorded. It seems to.me we ought not, by a refusal of this request, to stand in the way of the advantages to. be gained by isolated Hawaii through tele- graphic communication with the rest of the world, especially in view of the fact that our own communication With that country would thereby be greatly improved without apparent detriment to any legitimate Amer- ican interest.

A Prank That Woke Up Puris at Mid- night. ; PARIS, January 14—A bomb explosion occurred a at midnight in front of No. 65 Rue Monceau. Nobody was_killed, but considerable damage was done in the vicin- ity. It appears that a porter cn duty at No. 65 Rue Monceau just before midnight was informed by a valet who was return- ing home and who noticed a parcel on the window ledge. In an interview published in the Matin this morning the valet is quoted as say- ing that when he saw a box on the win- dow ledge he hurriedly entered the house and informed the porter that there was an extraordinary parcel on the window. The porter hastened out into the street, took the box and threw it as far as he could. The’ two mer then fled into the house and closed the door. A moment later there was a tremendous explosion, as if a cannen had been fired in the street. The explosion caused a strong force of police to gather from all sides, and the Rue Monceau was soon the center of at- traction for large crowds of people. But order was soon restored, the inhabitants, reassured by the police, re-entered their homes and by 1:30 a.m. only the police suard and a number of newspaper men re- mained about the spot. During the morning the chief of the mu- nicipal laboratory was engaged in exam- ining the scene of the explosion, and it is said that he fs Inclined to think ‘that the | explosion was more in the nature of a dangerous joke than an anarchist outrage. He is reported to have ascertained that the bomb contained no projectiles and that it was apparently-eharged only with gun- powder. The windows broken are also said to have been broken by concussion of the air and by fragments of the box, and not by shot or bullets, as first thought. The machine, it is added, was made to explode on contact with the ground. pe ange era ee TO ALD THE DESTITUTE. ‘The West and the South Join Hands iv the Good Work.

THEY WANT A TEN-HOUR DAY Cars Run Faster Than the Law Allows. > E OF MANY DEATHS Ss CAUS BROOKLYN, N. Y., January 14.—At 5 o'clock this morning all the trolley lines in Brooklyn were tied up, the employes re- fdsing to take out the cars. Over 5,000 men quit work. This includes motormen, conductors, electricians, switchmen and others employed at the various power houses. All but one of the surface roads are affected. The Men's Demands. The men’s grievances and demands are thus stated: The state law provides that a day’s work for employes of street rail- ‘way companies shall consist of ten hours, within twelve consecutive hours. It is al- leged that this law has been disregarded ty the corporations, which have required the men to work eleven hours, and even, lately, twelve hours, with no interval longer than ten minutes for lunch, and also depriving them of that brief time in most instances. The wage rate agreed upon a year ago was $2 for the statutory day's work. The companies, it is alleged, have made no allowance for overtime. ‘The men demand adherence to the law regarding hours in a day’s work or $2.25 for a day of twelve hours. An address issued by the executive com- mittee of District Assembly 75 alleges that the trouble was precipitated by the Brooklyn Heights Company in excluding electric workers from work. The statement goes on to say that the trips on the road have been greatly in- creased since the introduction of the elec- trical system, and that the flagrant viola- tion of the ten-hour law has mentally and physically incapacitated the saen for their werk. All the companies run their trip- pers so that the men can make only from 40 to 80 cents a day. While the corpora- tions are not allowed, by law, to run ata rate of speed of more than ten miles an hour, their schedules are so arranged that the cars have to be run at a rate of speed of from fifieen to twenty mile’ an hour. Why Deaths Have Been Caused. In consequence, nearly one hundred fatal accidents have occurred since the trolley was introduced and countless injuries to pessengers, all caused by the greed of the corporations. The men desire to have the schedule so arranged that the cars can be run safely. The address closes by asking the people to free themselves from the condition of affairs. It is signed by Master Workman Connolly and the other members. C An official of one of the lines said: “The ccempanies cannot afford to increase the expenses $1, and if the demands of the men were complied with there is not one of them which would not be driven into bankruptcy. Immense sums of money have keen borrowed to equip the roads with the eiectrical systems, and this money has got to be paid sooner or later. ‘The strike will be even mcre serious than under the old horse-car system. The employes in the pewer house are organized as Knights of Labor just the same as the motormen and conductors, and when the signal is given to stop work they will fall into line, and not a car can be moved.” History of the Strike. District Assembly 75, Knights of Labor, which has control of all the trolley line employes in Brooklyn, has held various meetings during the past few weeks, and after the meeting on Saturday the execu- tive committee waited upon President Lewis of the Brooklyn Heights road and again asked that he grant their demands. They discussed the question for three and a half hours in President Lewis’ office, and finally Mr. Lewis refused to grant thelr demands. The outcome of this was that the committee held another meeting, and adjourned until last night. At last night's meeting, which ended at 1 o'clock this morning, it was decided to tie up all the roads in the city of Brooklyn, with the exception of the Smith and Jay street line. This was done this morning, and not a car outside of the Smith and Jay street line was running. The companies expected that the men would go out this morning, and determined to anticipate them. They asked the elec- tricians, about 1,000 in number, if they would take out the cars this morning. Every one of them refused to do so. They were then told that there was no work for them. One foreman was asked if he was willing to take out acar. He refused to do it. This morning the people had to use the elevated roads. ‘The trains were made up with extra cars to accommodate the rush. The public was greatly inconvenienced. The Court street line of the Brooklyn City Company ran out seven cars, begin- ning at 8 o'clock. The cars were manned, frent and rear, by two policemen. There was no trobve. There was one car run- ning on the 15th street branch. The entire police force, consiting of 1,700 men, was in readiness in case there should be any trouble, but noné was expected. Affecting the Mail Service. The tie-up is materially affecting the United States mail service. None of the trolley lines delivered the mail this morn- ing.e Postmaster Sullivan said he would have to go back to the old system of col- lecting the mail by aid of wigons. He had called upon every substitute and “lay off” connected with the office to do duty. At 11 o'clock United States mail car No. 10 of the Flatbush avenue lin2, with four blue flags, came down Fulton street. A letter carrier was in front and the passenzers were on the inside. It contained the Flat bush mail. Extra detachments cf po! were detailed to patrol the thoroughfar on which the various railrcad lines run. All the old stages that could be resur- rected in the city were pressed into service, and a line of transportation was estab- lished between Flatland through Flatbush avenue to the city hall, 15 cents being charged for the trip. It was rumored that ovo men had been engaged in Chicago, Newark, Paterson and other cities and were on their way to Brooklyn to take the places of the strikers. John Russell was caught placing an ash barrel on the Court street line and was taken to the Hamilton avenue police sta- tion. The strikers caused some trouble in the twenty-ninth ward by placing timber and stones on the tracks near the Fiatbush de- pot. The policemen who guarded the mail car removed the obstruction. The strikers did not interfere with the officers aside from jeering and hooting at them. One of them was arrested. > —_ NO SIGN OF THE CREW. Rescuers Succeeded in Reaching a Strauded Coal Barge. FREEPORT, L. 1, January .—Last night the coal barge Seth Low, bound fro! Philadelphia to Boston, ran into Zach's Inlet, near Jones’ Beach.
