They would not have thought of accepting $100.000 and embarking in this enterprise if it had not been for the additional subsidies. they told us frankly. they expected to get from other nations. If we appropriate and authorize this $3.000.000. we certainly could not get that money for less than 4 per cent. We shall probably have to pay that. and there is $120.000 for interest. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars. which we would pay each year for this service between here and Honolulu. while we are offered for $20.000 less not only that service. but the added and more important service of the transmission of all our dispatches to the Asiatic coast.
