OCEAN TELRGRAPHY.-The San Francisco Com
mercidl Herald of June 23d. saws: The conduct
of the Anglo American Cable Telegraph Company
can only be properly characterized by the term,
monstrous. There was some ground of excuse for
imposing double rates when one Of the cables
broke, and the means of telegraphic communica-
ton with Europe was reduced one-half; but now
that the cable has been repaired aud placed in
working condition, the demand for still higher rates
is an imposition of gross character. Formerly the
charges were. FOR general press news, $40 cents a
word commercial news. rs cents pubic plain
message. as cents cipher messages, Sl.5O. The
company, after the LIST of July next, will charge
for general press news 81 per word commercial
news, $3.50; public plain messages, Sl.5O, and
cipher messages. So. In 1870. at the lower rates
specified above. the company earned net profit of
1872. S20-about one-tenth the amount of its entire
capital stock. We are now in direct telegraphic
communication with China. but the news Is obliged
to travel round tbree-qnarters Of the globe To
reach us. California and China should be con-
nected by trans-PacItc cable, which Will greatly
advantage our commercial relations, and act as n
check upon the monopolizing tendencies of the
A~nglo-American Telegraph Company.

New YORK, June 2I.-Wall street was a scene of
wild excitement this morning in fact it wasa near
approach to the memorable Black Friday. The
occasion was the tremendous break in the price OF
Rock Island shares, followed by a panic. Rock
Island opened at 1904 and advance to 1909 there
was sharp demand for cash stock and everything
indicated a corner in fact, at the close, last night,
all the arrangements for a corner bad been effected,
but this morning it began TO be whispered that
there had been cheating in the pool and the stock
began to break. This was followed by an enorm-
Gus pressure TO sell, which carried the stock down
from 1904 to 10. After there was "A rally 10 ll3,
and the transactions were enormous-tbe telegraph
instruments recording that III 600 shares had
changed hands but this does not cover all the
transactions. In explanation Of affairs IL appears
that there was a pool in the stock, limited TO O,OOv
shares, and that this pool had brought $4,000
shares. AT this %juncture, a prominent Spectator
and member of the pool was operating largely out
side. This individual sold about so, 900 shares Of
stock, and also bought on his own account over
lS0, 900 shares. At least this is the current report.
He was unable to-day to take his enormous pur-
chases OF Rock Island, aud was forced 10 suspend,
carrying down with him a number Of brokers.
Fourteen have been reported as failed, but some
will settle the differences and resume.

JEFF Davis Explains.
A dispatch dated Chattanooga, Tenn, June 10,
says:
/ saw a private letter from Jefferson Davis to
Colonel Styles, of the Albany (Ga.) Nel0s. in which
he complains of the manner in which his speeches
at Atlanta and Augusta had been misconstrued
by the Northern press. He says he never wished.
directly or indirectly, to counsel the Southern
people not to tolerate the situation.
lie thinks they ought to wait patiently until the
returning good sense of the Northern people brings
about a reversal of the more obnoxious features in
recent Congressional Legislation. lie disavOws
most strongly anything like a revival of armed re-
sistance.
There was one part of bis Atlanta speech which
was not reported. Before saying that he did not
accept the situation, Mr.. Davis asked any Northern
reporters who might be present TO take particular
notice of his words, and he then said be did not
desire to be understood as advising anything like
disloyalty to the government.
