Pacific Cable debate shifts subsidy and rates
The House Commerce Committee discussed the Pacific Cable project with Bennett of New York offering a substitute bill reducing government aid. The proposal envisions no subsidy beyond a fixed annual period and sets party rates for private business, with separate press rates. The story also notes hotel figure Daniel J. Lyons and memories of Joseph Tilden and George Fassett tied to the Baldwin and Royal Hawaiian hotels, and a Buddhist burial link in Honolulu.
