of tho North Atlantic fleet, who partici

Tho Yosemite ls credited with having
taken part In an engagement with two
Spanish gunboats nnd her officers and men,
principally her men, think that their con

Washington, Feb. 10 Senator Racon's f
forts to brighten up and popularize the
.somewhat dull, but prlvlliged, publication,
the Congressional Record, havo been
crowned with auiecss. .
The Record appeared on Wednesday
morning as an Illustrated paper It has
been frequently tilled with diagrams, but
on tho morning in question It came out
with three beautiful pictures elucidating a
point made by Representative Uell of Col
orado in one of his electrifjlng speeches
in the House.
Mr. Hell's speech was in advocacy of a
resolution forbidding the use of any Gov
ernment building or Government property,
except the Capitol and the White House,
for any of tho ceremonies attending tho
iniuguration of a President of the United
State'). Ho Introduced tho resolution be
cause, at the last inauguration of President
McKlnley, a grand Bland was erected along
Pennslv.u)la avenue, covering the great
gateway lending to the State, War and Navy
building. 1 he grand stand took lire and the
granite pillars were ruined.
It was decided that they must be re
placed by the local Committee on Inaugura
tion, but inlluencc has prevent, d the Gov
ernment from enforcing this claim. Rep
resentative Hell in telling the IIous about
it said that he- could not explain flly the
damage that tho gate hid sustained, but
he would put pictures of the gate "before
and after" In the Record.
Some of tho members of Congress, who
are jealous of the popularity of widely cir
culated newspapers, think the Government
should be more progre-slve with Its ofilci ii
newspaper and advocate the Introduction of
color printing. Some of them wanted a
comic supplement, but It was explained that
the Record was tulliclently comic now, since
it is printing, in full, the debate in tho
Senate on the Philippine "itu ition. Sen i
tor Hawley ajn the Record is just as
good a paper as it ever was, hut bo wants

Another paj,i which picse-nts an interest

of tne principal of the pjblic, debt ot the

while In 1W1 practically one-half ot the out

Another interesting pl turo Is found on

Still another interesting picture Is that
which shows In a single table the story of

Another Interesting picture is that which

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON PACIFIC CABLE.
Heprefientative Corliss's Hill Pro
vides for Government Owner
ship of Manila Wire.
ESTIMATED COST, $10,000,000.
Committee Points Out England's
Enterprise in Laying Cables to
Her .Colonies and Sats Only
America Sleeps.
Washington, Feb. 15 The report to bo
filed to-morrow by the House Committee on
Interstate and roreign Commerce recom
mending the passage of the bill introduced
by Representative Corliss, providing for
Government ownership of a Pacific cable,
says that the United States, by the annex
ation of Hawaii and the acqulstiun of the
Philippines and other Islands through tho
ratification of the Paris treaty, assumed the
responsibility of maintaining peace in the
Pacific Ocean.
Tills obligation, the report which was
prepared by Representative Corliss, the
author of the bill says, waa deliberately
undertaken by this country and approved by
the united voice of the people. It adds:
"The future peace and prosperity of these
islands will largely eiepend upon the facil
ities extended by our Government for the
advancement and enlightenment of the peo
ple there. If we are to continue in control of
these islands, the people must be made to
understand the character and purpose of
our Government and to feel the benefits of
enlightenment and civilization and American
liberty.
KiiKlnntl Onus Her Own C'nIileN.
"This can he accornplisheel through the
the medium of cable communications. The
advancement of our own people and tho
benefit of rapid communication through the
telephone, telegraph and railway lines Il
lustrate the advantages and the progress
that mny bo achieved through cable mes
sages "
Regarding the Government ownership of
cables. Mr,. Corliss says England for fifty
vears has been constantly acquiring, 'by
purchase and construction, cable communi
cation with her vast possessions, until she
has epe nded upwards of a hundred million
dollars for th's purpose, and operates her
ow n cables connecting her colonies. Eng
land is now constructing a Pacific cable
from Vancouver to Autral! i at a cost of
nearly $3 0X,IVO. and In order to give her
tradesmen ntnl manufacturers the benillt
of this communication at the itast possible
expense. Ins fixed a rate of two shillings or
fifty co-its per word for cable messages
from Vancouver to New Zealand.
Otlicr fitloiiN Arc Alert.
"France. Germany and other nations are
not sleeping on their rights a the people
of tho United States have been." comments
Mr. Corliss, "hut are establishing Govern
ment telegraphic eommunicatlon with their
respective possessions.
"I, therefore, contend that the Pacific
cable should be owned, controlled and oper
ated by the Government of the United
State", it should be- made by an American
manufacturer, laid by an American ship
under the American flag and operated at
actual cost fcr the dissemination of know
ledge, the proper direction of our army and
navy and the advancement of our trade
and commerce in the Pacific. The tran
mI"!on of communications should be held
bv the State.
"Tiie right to construct and operate the
Pacific cable Ls a public utility or fran
chise held by the people. Its control is an
inherent right of tho nation; Its construc
tion and operation necessarily -will be
come for a great many years a monopoly
and should not be transferred from tho
control of the people."

General Greely, Chief of the Signal Serv
ice of the War Department, who has
charge of the telegraphic lines owned by
the Government, and who has given the
subject careful consideration and construct

report say s, estimates the entire cost of

There is no longer any doubt as to tho
practicability of tills project from a tech

In conclusion, the report says: "Every
part of the world has been enlightened

This vast body of water, under the con
trol ot our own Government, seems to be
tho one dark spot upon the face of the
earth, and for the want of a cable the gem
