FROM WASHINGTON:

A Stringent Cable Bill Reported In the Senate.
Special Despatch to The Eueaialg Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Mr. Sumner, from
the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate,
reported this afternoon a bill to regulate the
landing of telegraph cables on the shores of the
United States. 1t gives Congress complete con-
troll over all such cables, and provides that the
Government of the United States shall have the
exclusive use of the wires one hour out of every
twelve, for the transmission of messages to its
diplomatic and consular agents and orders to
the officers of its military and naval forces. No
two cable companies consolidate their lines
without the consent of the Postmaster-General.
Every cable is to be open for the transmission of
commercial and general news, except when
occupied by the Government and the rates are to
be regulated by the company, subject to the
approval of Congress.
The French SpeIiatien Bill

sermon was the important and inevitable
influence OF mans sinfulness or holiness upon
the physical world. The Doctor argued that Gods

which are so patent that he VINO runs can read.
God Is not asham med OF His mysteries but challenges
the closest attention. Earth and man are cursed
and crippled, and yet their Creator claims that He
Is wise, mighty and tender. The world Is full OF
two things-physical evils and moral evils-and
these are closely allied. When pestilence
sweeps over the land it Is because there
IS some disturbance in physical laws and
for moral contagious there must be the same cause.
Tne man VINO sins against his soul also sins against
his bo1y. The only certain way to purify the desc

religion, and this purifying Influence affects not only
