HAWAIIAN CABUMN THE HOUSE, The 1'nijeit Wilt Meet With Much Opposi tion I mm the Ilcniniritlc Members Washington, Teh. 12, The Appropriation for a Hawaiian cable, which was added to tho diplomatic and conmlnr appropriation bill by the senate, furnishes material for nn Interesting controversy between the two houses. The Hawaiian policy of the house does not Ineludo the Hawaiian cable In Its creed, or nt any rate the Hawaiian policy of the Democratic majority of the house. There will be n strong opposition In tho house to the rTpcmllttirc of n half mil lion dollars upon tha survey and prelim inary work, both on the general principle of objection to government aid to en lerprlsis of this character an 1 because of the depleted condition of the treasury. I'linlrnian McCrenV), of the committee on foreign nffalis, lias stated plainly Ills ob jections to the cable project In a recent speech, and the lie) note to the Democratic policy on Hawaiian milters his ulvvavs btni uttered by the clinlrm in of the com mittee. 'Ihe (.able Item will command tho support of the Democrats fiom the Pacini! coast, nnd of the Republicans, but there Is every probability ot n majority against thu bill. The conference committee upon the bill will be unfriendly to the cable amend ment The senitors of tho committee will be Hlnckbutn and llrlce. Democrats; nnd time, JtepuMicin, iiiul Representatives McCre.ar.v, lloolttr, Democrat", and Hilt, Republican.

They may make a report to tho senate that the confeirees nre un.iblo to reach an agreement, nnd recommend th it the senate recede from the cable project, but, unless the senate votes to do so, they will be practically bound to support It. Speaking generally, moro senate amend ments to Fonnte bills aro ngned to by the houe than the number of those given up the senate recede from the cable project, Is more uncertain, because four ot thu six ronferrees nre Ilkelv to be personally in favor of striking out the amendment, and representatives of both houses miv bo dis posed to report back recommendation tint it be stricken out.
