Mr. Ward in an address said: "You can form some opinion of the ex tent of this great work when I tell you that the length of this cable will be 3 t times more than any Atlantic cable. When this Is completed, our system will reach Irom England and France to China, three fourths of the distance around the globe. And I venture to predict that we shall be able to beat Puck's 'prophecy of girdling the earth in 40 minutes by sending a mes sage from San Francisco to San Fran cisco in one-fourth of that time. "The first section, now about to be com menced, will ptpbably be completed about Christmas day, or, say, by the first of Jan uary, and if we have the good fortune to be In communication with Honolulu by that time, we shall be delighted to give you the free use of the cable to exchange your congratulations and greetings with your friends. The remaining sections, starting from Honolulu, touching at Mid way and Guam, to Manila, 3000 miles of which have already been manufactured, -will be laid and In operation by the end of Juno next. The whole length of the line will be about 10,000 nautical miles." In conclusion. Mr. Ward paid a glowing tribute to the character nnd deeds of the late John W. Mackay, who "crowned hlo wonderful career with an undertaking which should earn him in history a place among the most public-spirited men of his day." , Replying to welcoming speeches by Gov ernor Gage, and Mayor Schmltz. Clarence Mackay, tfie president of the cable com pany, said: "Apart from the commercial aspect. It was the height of my father's ambition, and. as he had hoped, the crowning achievement of hlo life, to have seen this cable from the Paclfjc Coast to our far Eastern possessions, an all-Amerlcan ca hle; Its object the advancement of com merce throughput this artery of trade; Its goal the far Bast, and Its cradle the Golden Gate. It has fallen on me to carry out this work, and I can amure you that I will spare no pains to see that It Is con- srummatea- r , "TimcT"onTy can tell whether" our efforts will havo been successful, and if so, let this cable be a monument to my father's memory, and then myself and my associ ates will hare been satisfied."

BERLIN, Dec 11. The tariff bill passed Its second reading today by 1S4 to 136 votes on Baron von Kardorff's motion taking the bill as a whole without debat ing it by paragraphs. This motion and the parliamentary questions growing out of It caused the violent scenes of tho re cent weeks. The motion also introduced - a number of amendments, tho result of the compromise agreement between the majority and government parties. Yet the bill is not considered, to be In Its final shape. The Reichstag does not meet tomorrow, in order to give the leaders of the major lty parties an opportunity to arrange the Chester's amendment, which was carried final form of the bill. The Reichstag will by 114 to 28, would In effect throw an ln mect again on Saturday, and, if in agree- ' creased burden on rates. It is certain 'MR. DOOLEY" MR. AND MRS. FINLEY PETER DUNNE. Flnley Peter Dunne was rr.&rrJfJ i:i v Tork to Mlea Margaret Abbott, daugh ter of Mrs. Mary Abbott, formerly of Chioszo. Miss Abbott, who used to reside In Chicago, of late years has made her hom In Paris, where she recently achieved fame by winning a prize In the woman's handlc&p frame at the International coif matches. This was but to be expected, because Miss Abbott wan noted for her skill at golf. She also was prominent In Chicago's society circles, and she achieved considerable reputation as an Illustrator xnd inventor of children's rrarr.es. Her mother Is well known in literary circles. Miss Abbott Is tall and graceful. Her complexion la brilliant, and her hair ash blonde. Mr. Dunne, -before he achieved fame by his writings about the philosopher of 'Archy roaad," was U reporter on various Chicago newspapers. He achieved spe cial 'success In reporting baseball (games. Instead of building up an amplification of the score, he would put a dash of humor into his copy, and would use odd and racy words. This work took, and Mr. Dunne fascinated the fans. Later he be came an editorial writer, and for a tlmo was in editorial charge of the Chicago Evening Journal. Mr. Dunne's "Doolcy" letters began with legal topics as themes, and were prompted b the amusing but wise sayings of a lovable old Irishman, the late James McGarry, who kept a buffet In Dearborn street. Hennessy, a barkeeper, was the foil for McGarry' s wit. From local subjects Mr. Dunne branched Into those of a National and interna tional character, and soon hla reputation had grown, until it reached the English-reading public in all parts of the world. The letters have been published In book form. Borne time ago Mr. Dunne left Chicago and took up his residence in New York. ment. will then proceed to pass the third reading1 of the bill. Chancellor von Bulow's speech today- was disappointing. Bo.th. .sides of the, House considered it too vague and as falling to outline definitely the govern ment's programme In the midst of the present confusion. Chancellor von Bulow s presence in tne Reichstag caused expectation that he would make a statement regarding Venezuela and the House was well filled, but he did not refer to International policies. He dwelt on the tariff bill and said that, If the reduc tion of duty on agricultural machinery and Implements, as provided for In the Kardorff amendment, was adopted, the federated governments would take the changes into serious consideration. They would not consent, however, to fixing min imum duties on animals and meats. The government. In making the new commercial treaties, would guarantee to the domestic animal industry protection enough to Insure Its prosperous develop ment and would accept no provisions in treaties which would render it impossible o adopt the ncccoiary veterinary measures to prevent animal diseases coming Into Germany from abroad. The Chancellor's statement was greeted with applause from the Right party, and with derisive laughter from the mem- bers of the Left party. Herr Bebel somewhat violently attacked the majority party's arbitrary methods. He said the Chancellor's omission to dis approve them Indicated that he favored them. After further speeches by Edward Muel ler and Goethein, to which the majority refused to reply, a motion closing the de bate was carried by 105 to 113 votes. AUTOMOBILE SHOW OPBXS. American MnUcrn Too Bny to Send Exhibits to PariK. PARIS, Dec. 1L American makers of automobiles are practically unrepresented at the fifth international exposition of automobiles, which has just opened auspiciously at the Grand Palace, with President Loubet ajid several Cabinet Ministers among tho throng of visitors. The vast amphitheater was filled with the latest types of racers and coaching and commercial vehicles, chiefly ponder ous and powerful French, Swiss and Bel gian makes, contrasting with the few light, graceful American machines. Among the novelties exhibited were auto mobile canoes and launches. One of the latter, luxuriously equipped, was built for the Sultan of Morocco. A representative of one of the" American companies present said: "The absence of American type3 Is due tp the fact that the American manufac turers are so busy supplying the home demand that they are unable to com pete with the European trade, and the American types are chiefly for city streets, whereas the mountain coaching of the Continent requires powerful climb ers." President Loubet gave special attention to speed machines. He was also struck with the numerous and remarkable ap plications of automobiles to agriculture. The Minister of Agriculture, M. Mougeot, Is said to have the Intention of making a special study of the application of automobiles to agriculture. BALFOUR IN A DILEMMA. Ills Sngnr Dnty May Lose Britain Fa vored Nation Advantage. LONDQN, Dec 11. As a result of a statement made by Premier Balfour ln the House of Commons, the government apparently finds Itself In an awkward dl- itmuiu. veuusuuiieu icueuuy as io wnctner i the law officers of the crown had ever given the opinion that the Imposition of 1 a countervailing duty to neutralize for eign sugar bounties would contravene the favored-nation clause ln existing com mercial treaties, the Premier replied that he had no record of such an opinion. To day, however, he volunteered the state ment that an Identical opinion had been given ln 18S0, but he declined to commit himself with regard to the effect of this opinion ln the present circumstances. The Premier's statement, however. Is regarded aa justifying Russia's threat to .treat the imposition of a countervailing duty as a breach of treaty. As practi cally the entire British export trade with foreign countries Is carried on under the protection of tho favored-nation clause, the government faces the alternative of either dropping the Brussels sugar con vention or risking the loss of favored nation advantages. As one effect of Great Britain's adhesion to the sugar conven tion would be to entitle the United States and Russia to place higher import tariff on British goods, it Is expected that rather than risk such & serious disloca tion of foreign trade the government will forego the Imposition of a countervailing duty on sugar. ISSUE BBTVEEJf HOUSES. Lords Accused of Infringing on Priv ileges o Commons. NEW YORK, Dec 11. The government has sustained a defeat In the House of Lords on the education bill, the London correspondent of thq Tribune says. In modifying' the provision requiring the managers of voluntary schools to be re sponsible for all repairs, the Lords have unquestionably infringed the privileges of tho irmvr house, for the Bishop of Man TAKES A WIFE. that a question of privilege will be raised by the Commons, and the result will In all probability be that the lower house will, on motion of tho- government, strike out the amendment. The Lords will no doubt let the matter drop. Paris Exhibit at St. Louis. PARIS, Dec. 11.
