Attorney-General Hoar has given |
an opinion at the instance of the New |
York, New FOundland and London |
Telegraph Company, that the control |
of telegraph communication with for
eign nations by means of cables lead |
ing from the shores of the United |
States, is within the constitutional au-
thOrity of Congress TO permit, regulate
or prohibit, and that there can be no
security for such enteNpTises while no
authority or prOtectiOAfOr them has
been devised by acts of Congress. The
States may grant the enjoy
ments of their own rights of soil and
within their control, but
they cannot grant rights which inter
fere with or limit the paramount con-
authority of the United
States.
