Pacinc and Atlantic submarine Cables.
Cyrus W. Field has submitted q new bill to the
Foreign Relations Committee Of the Senate In lieu
Of the one originally presented by him for sub
marine cable between California and China. The
section providing for land grant was found to be
unpalatabe, and the friends Of the measure thought
proper TO have 1t stricken out In lieu thereof how
ever, there is new provision inserted allowing
Field q Co. subsidy OF 100000 per annum for
twenty years as consideration for the use OF the
proposed cable for certain length Of time each day
by the United States government; provided, how
ever. that the cable shall be laid within the period
Of i've years. Whether the bali million substitute
Will prove more paatable to Senatorial stomachs
than the huge Ian pill remains to be seen. Among
the incorpofators in the new bill are Field, Peter
Cooper, N. o. Roberts, Noses Taylor and 8. F. b.
Morse.
Mr.. w. w. Barney appeared before the same COM
mittee this morning and read an argument In favor
OF his projected cable from Belgium to the United

whatever. The Belgium concession gives to citizens
OF the United States the exclusive privilege for
twenty years. Tue grantees ofrer the free use Of
the cable to the United States government for thirty
minutes each day, and the regulation OF the tariff Is
left with the two governments.
