SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 1L The com
mercial bod left of this city held a reception
at the Palace Hotel this afternoon 'in
lonor of Clarence H. lackay, George C.
"Ward, vice-president and general manager
of the Commercial Cable Company; Will
iam H. Baker and Edgar C. Bradley, of the
Postal Telegraph Company, who are hero
to witness the commencement of the lay
ing of the new cable between this city
and Honolulu. In recognition of the event
and in honor to the distinguished visit
ors, the leading buolness men of the city
planned today's event. Governor Gage
represented the state, and Mayor Schniltz
was prcnent on behalf of the municipality.
Governor-elect Pardee, Mayor Barstow. of
Oakland; presidents of tho universities,
foreign Consuls, Collector F. S. Stratton,
Harbor Commissioners, presidents of the
improvement clubs of the interior cities of
the state and representatives of the rail
road and telegraph companies were also
among those present. 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."

BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 11. A special to the
Miner from Miles City eays:
Custer County, through its legal repre
sentatives, todav nald into the TVdoml
Court 512,500, the amount of a judgment
wnicn nas Keen obtained against the
county by the Western Ranches Company,
Ltd.
The plaintiff corporation several years
ago ranged cattle on the Crow reserva
tion. Custer County taxed the cattle and
enforced collection. The enmnnnv- rrm.
tended that the county had no right to
impose the tax, since the cattle were on
Federal and not on state soil. On this
contention the comnanv mip for th fYM
that had been paid, and secured Judgment
in tne state courts. Tne county attempt
ed to take an appeal to tho Circuit Court
or Appeals, hut failed to perfect the ap
peal, hence the judgment stood.

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

'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.
