10 the Associdfed Press:
On the Wednesday before l left London, the
directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
unanimously decided that after the cable was
laid and the Queens and Presidents notes trans.
mitted, the line should be kept free several week
solely Tor the use OF DR.. Whitehouse, Prof.
Thompson, and other electricians, to enable
them TO thoroughly test the various modes of
teiegraphing, SO the directors could decide
which was the best and most rapid manner for
future use, for it was considered after the line
should be once thoroughly open for business,
it would be very difficult 10 obtain il for ex-
perimental purposes, even for n short time
Due notice will be given when the line will be
ready tor business, and the tariff Of prices.
