WASHINGTON, April 1L—With little debate of consequence the Senate to-day passed the Pacific cable bill, a measure appropriating $3,000,000 for the construc- tion of a cable between San Francisco and Honolulu. The bill was unanimously reported by the Committee on Naval Af- fairs, and that it was passed without ser- ious objection is regarded as a compliment to the committee. During the greater part of the session the District of Columbia appropriation bill was under consideration. As passed it carries nearly $8,000,000. A resolution was adopted calling upon the President, if not incompatible with public interest, to inform the Senate whether any persons have been executed by garrote in Porto Rico since the United States authorities have been in control of the island, and, if so, why the system of execution was employed. The resoluticn relating to the Quay case was lald before the Senate, and Burrows of Michigan arose to address himself to it. Allison of Connecticut requested Bur- rows to yleld to him, that he might have the Senate take up the District of Colum- bia appropriation bill. This request was agreed to, it being understood that Bur- rows should proceed to-morrow with his speech. After Penrose of Pennsylvania had protested that appropriation bills should not interfere with consideration of the Quay case, the District of Colum- bia appropriation bill was formally taken up and passed. Bill. Text of the Cable chalrman_ of At the instance of Hale, the Naval Committee, the Senate then took up the bill providing for the con- struction, maintenance and operation un- der the management of the Navy Depart- | ment of a Pacific cable. The bill, as report- | ed to the Senate, is a substitute for the | measure as originally introduced by Hale. | $3,000,000 It carries an appropriation of for the project. “The bill provides for & cable from San Francisco to Honolulu, the work to be | done under the supervision of the Navy | | Department, which has made surveys and | determined the practicabllity of the route. The Navy Department may use any of its ships that can be adapted to the task of lay\ng the cable and if it needs other ships it may charter them. In addition to | this, it provides that the Secretary of the | Navy, in his discretion, if he finds it is not acticable to lay the cable by the (orcap of his own department, may con- tract, under specifications and due ad- L o e e B e B S T e vertisement, for the construction, laying | and equipment of the cable.

Section 5 provides that the cables, wires and other instruments, materials, appli- ances and appurtenances necessary in the work of laying the cable shall be of Amer- ican manufacture, provided the same can be procured at a cost not excudln{ 13 per cent above what the same can be pro- cured for in foreign markets. Hale explained that the bill provided for the building of the cable from San Francisco to onolulu. This, he said, would be in the nature of an experiment, and upon the result of it would depend in a measure the future course of the Government. It might be deemed desira. ble in the light of experiment to start the | Philippine cable from some attle and proceed to Japan ern route. Pettus moved to strike out section 5 of the bill oint like Se- y the north- “Why,” he inquired, “should the Gov- | ernment consent to be taxed on its own business for the benefit of certain manu- factures? It's an absurdity. Even if you do rob the people by your taxes, you ought not to rob the Government.” illman of South Carolina, as a member | of the Naval Committee, defended the bill, in the report of which all the Demo- cratic members of the committee had joined. While he was not, he said, a pro- teétionist or in favor of subsidies, he re- arded the provision in section § of this ill in the interest of the people, as it would be a *“‘sort of nursin; Industries interested. He seemed it a de- sirable experiment in Government owner- ship and control, and expressed the opin- lon that it might prove a good thing for Alabama. “Up to this date,” sald Pettus, “Ala- bama will not accept your bribe. I have seen one great State near mine accept the sugar bottle and I don’t like it.” 1llman disclaimed' any effort to bribe either Senator Pettus or the State of Ala- bama, but he was anxious to increase the struggling iron and steel industries of Alabama, and he hoped to see the day when a Government armor plate factory would be located In Alabama. ‘“Alabama is not struggling at all,” re- torted Pettus, with spirit. “Alabama is master of the situation both as to iron and coal. But the great grandchildren of the Senator (Tillman) will be here in the Senate before any part of the armor plates are manufactured in Alabama.

WASHINGTON, April 11.—Representa- | tive De Vries sald to-day regarding his vote against concurring In the Senate amendments to the Porto Rican bill: “When the bill was first before the House it was different in many particu- lars. The new features alone presented by the Senate amendments would impel me to vole against it. So far as it em- braces the same principle as the House | bill, my vote at that time was actuated by a desire to have a judiclal exposition of the powers of Congress over posses- sions acquired by the treaty of Paris. The Democratic “State platform of 1898, upon which I was elected to Congress, reads: ‘We favor the fullest investiga- tion of all conditions existing In the Phil- ippine Islands, affecting the interests and obligations of our country and the matter of their future treatment and disposition, to the end that final action in relation thereto shall be intelligent and based upon full knowledge of all the facts that can affect the Interests of the United States.’ The most important fact that can ‘affect the interests and obligations of our coun- try, in the Phl“fplnes is the determina- tion of their legal status and as to wheth- er or not our labor is to be thrown into competition with their cheap peon, Malay, Chinese and Japanese labor, and whether or not an open-door thereto and for all Chinese and Japanese in these possessions is created, and they are to have the right indefeasible to come into this country. The answer to these important questions being within the jurisdiction of the Su- preme ‘Court alone, and the epportunity | to secure such being offered by the pass- | age of the House Porto Rican bill, 1 con- ceived it my duty to vote therefor. ‘“‘Since that bill was passed 1 have ex- amined Into the cases now pending in_the United States courts in New York. Con- sultation with Solicitor General Richards with reference thereto reveals the fact that In one of these, at least, the issues therein made are such that the Supreme | Court will be compelled to take jurisdic- tion thereof and that therein full powers of Congress upon this subject will of ne- | cessity be determined. Further, so far as Porto Rico is concerned, I stated at the time that ‘I regretted that Porto® Rico should be made the subject of the test.’ It is now manifest from the expressions of press and citizens, regardless of party, that the public is desirous that Porto Rico should have free trade.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. MARTINEZ, April 1L—The BSouthern Pacific Railroad is showing its hand in the fight for State Senator to represent the district which embraces Contra Costa and Marin counties. The rallroad power, through the agency of James Stow and J. H. Borland, is advocating the nomina- tion of James Rankin on the Republican ticket. It is called to mind that the rail- road forced Rankin's nomination on the Republicans some years ago, but he was | defeated at the polls by Elliot McAllister, a Democrat. Contra Costa is entitled ship this term, as Marin had term. The Republicans, who highly com- mend the able services rendered by Charles M. Belshaw in the Assembly, de- sire that he shall represent the district in the Senate. Assemblyman Belshaw re- fused to take orders from the company and is therefore not in favor at railroad headquarters. The word has been passed out to give Rankin the nomination. Belshaw’s manly and courageous atti- tude in refusing in the Legislature tosobey the commands of the rallroad power has added greatly to his strength with the people, but has aroused the resentment of the corporation. to In the last ADVERTISEMENTS. *“MY OWN SELF ACAIN.” Mrs. Gates Writes to Mrs. Piakham, Follows Her Advice and is Made Well. *“DEAr Mrs. PrnxmaAM —For nearly two and one-half years I have been in feeblehealth.
