ANGLO-AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.

The interruption of telegraphic communication
between New York and London has been more pro-
longed than usual, and has now lasted over two or
three days. This arises, we are informed, from a
continuance of rain in Newfoundland, the fact being
that, although the land lines westward of Heart's
Content work fairly in fine weather, they are,
owing to defective insulation, almost, if not quite,
unworkable in rain and storm.

The interruption of this part of the route does
not, however, indicate a break down in the ordi-
nary sense, or anything more than that owing to the
state of the weather the land lines on the American
side of the Atlantic are in more than their normal
state of inefficiency. There is a prospect that this
will be remedied by the Ist of November, at least,
so our American friends assure us ; in the meantime
we have no alternative but to wait patiently. The
cables and the land lines between Valentia and Lon-
don are in perfect working order.

The following telegrams have been received from
Newfoundland :

Saturday, 3 p.m.
" Newfoundland linos still interrupted. No sign of rain
clearing off."

" Sunday, 1 20 a.m.
" Newfoundland lines still interrupted. Weather heavy.
Cables perfect."

A subsequent message received last night an-
nounces that the rain and bad weather of the last
two or three days and the gale of last night had
culminated in a perfect hurricane ; that several
poles between Heart's Content and Harbour Grace
have been blown down ; and that it is feared it wil
take two days to repair the damage done. The/
storm, however, has in uo way affected the Atlantic
cables, which remain in perfect working order,
