THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
That the United States will have
cable communication with Hawaii
by the first of January, 1003, and
with the riiiliiniine Islands, Hint
presumably With Ounin, by two
years Inter is regarded ns practically
certain by government officials in
Washington. . The sudden death of
John V. Mackey enured for a time,
pome uneertainity as to the future of
the Commercial l'aciflo cable com
pany lias been in Washington this
week and has assured Attorney Gen
eral Knox that the death of its presi
dent would in no way interfere with
the execution of the plans of the com
pany. So satisfied is the attorney
general with the representations
made by Vice President Ward that
he will leave today or tomorrow for
Oyster Hay w here he exacts to
secure the president's approval of his
Intention to officially sanction the
operations of the Commercial cable
company and probably his consent to
turn over to that company the cable
survey made some time ago by a
United States r.aval vessel.
The guarantees which have teen
exacted from the Commercial Pacific
cable company by the attorney gener
al are the occasion of much satisfaction
to the administration as they appear
to insure liberal treatment of the
government and of commercial inter
ests, w hile they do not bind the gov
ernment in any way. By their pro
visions the company is bound to
charge not to exceed 50 cents per
word between Honolulu and Han
Francisco and to reduce that rate to
85 cents per word after the cable has
ka in operation for two years, and
to charge not to exceed 1 per word
between Manila and China and the
United States and to charge the gov
ernment for .official business but half
of these rates. Numerous other
guarantees are furnished, all making
for just treatment of governmental
and commercial patrons. The only
objection to the plan of the company
lies in its presumable recognition of
the claims of a Spanish company
which contends that, by vlrtiue of an
ante-bellum grant, it possesses a
monopoly In the Philippines which
will entitle it to charge a royalty
on all messages sent there. It ia
further leared that the Commercial
company intends to recognize, in a
similar manner, the monopoly grant
ed to a European company by the
Chinese government, which monopo
ly is regarded as a violation of the
treaty rights of the United States.
Considerable entertainment and
nmusement has been furnished to
politicians In Washington by the so
called "harmony dinner" held recent
ly by the democrats at Nantasket.
"The beauty of the Tilden club and
the Nantasket harmony dinners,"
said a prominent republican yester
day, "is the entire absence ol har
mony which has prevailed on each
occasion. Mr. Cleveland has gravely
urged a harmony which included
the entire elimination of Mr. Bryan
from the councils of the party and
Mr. Bryan assures his fellow demo
crats that Mr Cleveland is a traitor
to listen to whom is treason. Sena
tor. Carmaek assures the democrats
that the Philippine question is the
paramount issue and Mr. Shephard
confidently siutes that the tariff issue
Is irrevocably at the front. Mr.
Bryan rather cautiously dodgca com
mitting himself to any issue and at
the same time adroitly leaves open a
loop-hole by which to introduce his
tree silver folly whenever, in his
Judgment, the people desire a
change. Only recently Mr. Vilas
has emerged from his obscurity and
announced that the old fashioned
Clevelund democracy, which had for
lis cardinal principle, tariff revision,
is the brand to conquer with and
Senator Teller writhes at any men
tion of a lowering of the tanli' duties
While Senator Gorman, who is slated
us democratic lender iu the next sou
ule, will blaunclily aupport the sena
tor from Colorado. In a word, dem
ocratic harmony is the same old
delusion it was when Mr. Cleveland
was defeated and that it. was w lieu,
after numerous unsuccessful caucuses,
the democrats in the til'ty-seventh
Congress were compelled to abandon
nil idea of a Congressional platform
on v. Iii'-ii all could unite."
The utmost interest is expressed in
Washington concerning the outcome
of the loua convention which comes
ol!' this week. Republican leaders
here hi. en the situation to that ill
', ii-louioi., whole the governor,
lot' a r puhltctiii, us ut vu ri
ii ..eo V l.h I hi.' r.-l-l-.-ct.i;ttivS of hie
party in congress. There Is one
great difference in the situation,
however, in that, whereas the ques
tions at issue between Governor Ih
Toilette of Wisconsin and the state
delegation were of a local character,
those, or rather, the one, question,
between Governor Cummings ot
Iowa and the Iowa congressional
delegation concerns national policy.
Governor Cummings is committed to
tariff revision, revision by republi
cans, it should be remembered, and
along the lines of protection, but
revision. Senators Allison and Dol
liver, Speaker Henderson and other
Iowa congressmen, even If they are
not oppo-ed to revision, do not be
lieve the time Is ripe for the intro
duction of the Issue into a campaign.
Secretary Shaw stands with the Iowa
delegation while the president is In
clined to espouse Governor Cum
mings side of the argument. Mr.
Roosevelt believes that, by his an
nouncement of his Intention to secure
regulation of the trusts, he has left
democrats almost without an Issue
and he argues that, if the republicans
of the country will announce their
position as favoring tariff revision
along protective and business lines,
the democrats will be left without a
single claim on which to base their
appeal for support. It is freely ad
mitted that whatever the action of
the Iowa convention may be it will
have a decided effect on the policy of
the party. Iowa republicans are too
staunch to permit of any serious fric
tion in their ranks and the opinion
prevails here that if the convention
stands for a modified revision of the
tarjft, the party generally will abide
by the decision.
Considerable anxiety Is expressed
at the state department In regard to
the case of one, Captain Kosehill,
who claims, by right of priority of
discovery, that he is the proprietor
of a guano island In the Pacific,
known as Marcus Island and situated
800 miles east of Yokohama. Some
citizen or citizens of Japan claim the
island on the same ground and, while
Captain Kosehill has left this country
post haste to take possession of the
Island, the Japanese government has
learned of his intention and has dis
patched a war Bhip to protect the
alleged rights of her citizens. The
state department affirms Its confi
dence that a peaceful and equitable
solution of the question can be arrived
at provided the captain is not too
precipitate In pressing his claim hut,
should he attempt to try conclusions
with the warship, there is little doubt
that he would emerge from the en
gagement a loser and It Is possible
that the United States "might find
the relations between itself and Japan
severely strained In an effort to se
cure adequate damages for the de
struction of an American ship and an
American captain.

Dangers of Canoeing.
Four young men have lost their
lives this season in the Delaware by
reason nt the oralt in which they
were shooting its rapid being over
turned. There may lie more ex
eitt!ment in using a canoe than an
ordinary boat, but there is far more
danger, especially when there is
more than one occupant. A skillful
canoeist should have no difficulty in
descending any of the rifts particu
larly when the water is high.
Either the unfortunate young men
who wero drowned did not under

sport is to bo indulged in those who

The demooratio talk of Hill, Dor

like some awakening of common
sense in that party whatever may
be said of their ohanoes. Cleveland

up or strengthen the demooracy.
Bryan seonred two presidential
nominations and failed ignominions
ly of election. These two leaders
have practically monopolized the

disaster and dissension. It is no

ment in favor of pushing them
