THE TELEGRAPH UNION.
Jay Gould Says 1t Means Lower
Rates.
A GRAND SCHEME TO CONTROL THE
TELEGRAPHY OF THE WORLD.

NEW YORK, Feb 6.-The World will to-
morrow contain an interview with Jay Gould
in regard to the consolidation of the telegraph
companies in which he says the consolidation is
not likely to be disturbed by any legislative or
judicial action. The object of the consolda
tion was to carry out a long cherished plan TO
developing in the United States an efficient
system of cheap telegraphy on a great scale,
both by sea and by land. When 1 was in Eu-
rope in 1879, 1 was struck by seeing how much
more freely the telegraph was used in ordinary
private business there than in this country.
am very sure that under one system, without
conflicting interests and with expenses of only
one organization, such economies can be intro
puced into the American telegraphy that rates
can be gradually and systematically cheapened
without impairing the efficiency of the service.
1t will be the policy of the new company to
effect this;
The new company has under contract,
through the new cable company organized at
Albany, two cables between this county and
England, which are to be laid early this sum-
mer. Gables will also be laid from Cuba,
where they will connect with our present sys-
tenn to the other West India Islands and to
Brazil and other parts of South America, as
well as from San Francisco to China, Japan,
Oceanica and Australia with northern line
by way of Puget Sound to Alaska and North
ern Asia, connected in Kamschatka with the
Russian system, so that at no distant date
st. Petersburg will be in communication with
New York by way of Asia as we'll as Europe,
and England will reach her Australian colo
nies through New York and by our American
lines more cheaply and expeditiously than over
English wires through the Red Sea and by
way of India. We contemplate a general
cable and telegraph system around the world,
and we contemplate such system as our
American system of which New York and
not London shall be the centre. see no rea-
son why the United States should permit a
position which geographically belongs to us
to be taken away by England.

The Electoral Count
The adoption of the electoral count resolu-
tion ensures a quiet and orderly count.
There was no opposition on the part of the
Democrats, but there was considerable ami
mated speaking, sand vicelversa. The only
considerable difference of opinion was in rela-
tion to the vote of Georgia. Mr.. FELTON, main
tanned that the vote of Georgia should be
counted, for he said that the people were not
responsible for the ignorance or perversity of
the Bourbon leaders. Mr.. Felton's speech
united the old-line Democrats somewhat Mr..
Calkins, a Republican from Indiana, declared
he should vote to count the vote of Georgia,
even if it gave the election to Hancock A
considerable number of Democrats insisted
that the vote of Georgia should not be counted.

AFRICA.
More Trouble for the British.
THE KING OF THE ASHANTEES DE-
CLARES WAR.

LONDON, Feb. ga Cape Town dispatch
says the King of Ashantee has sent a special
ambassador to Cape Coast Castle demanding
of Hon. Herbert usher, Governor of the Gold
Coast Colony, the surrender of Gamm, refu-
clined to take action, and so informed the Am
bassador. Upon learning this, the King
threatened hostilities, and proceeded to make
preparations to carry out his threat. Gov
Usher applied to Gov. Sir Samuel Rowe Of
Sierra Leone for reinforcements which are
being pushed from Freetown. The Ashantee
king is fighting character, and another war
in Africa is felt here to be within the range of
possibilities; A later dispatch says that King
Coffee has formallytdeclared war against Eng
land and sent the golden rod to Gov. Usher of
the Gold Coast Colony as an emblem of the
fact. Stores and ammunition have been or
dered by the home government to be sent to
the Cape Coast immediately from Madeira.
The war Office held special council today
to discuss the Ashantee war, and it was decid-
ed to take immediate measures to protect the
British settlement on the coast of Africa.
Much anxiety is expressed over the possible
outcome of this fresh trouble in Africa.
The Portland daily press., 1881-02-07

LONDON, Feb. CIT is stated that even after
the passing of the coercion not more than four
arrests will be made in connection with the
Land League. It is not impossible that if
matters CONTINUED i'm their present satisfactory
condition the coercion bill as far as the Land
League is concerned will be almost dead let
ter. Not so, however. with the Fenians Their
organization will be mercilessly dealt with.
The authorities have authentic information as
to the number of rifles illicitly imported into
the country, almost to within hund red, and
know where to lay hands on large number.
This perhaps is official braggadocio, but when
informers are wanted in Ireland they are al
ways forthcoming Experienced detectives on
the Irish staff are at present in England maxi
ing inquiries in midland and northern towns
respecting the ramifcations of the Fenian So
ciety.
New YORK. Feb. Ga special cable from
Dublin says the excitement in Ireland conse-
quent upon the arrest of Davitt, has given
place to a quiet determination to make the best
preparations for meeting the coercion act,
Throughout the country the greatest indig-
nation prevails. Davitt was personally known
in almost every town and village of the four
provinces.

EUROPE.
An Appeal from the Home Rulers.
UNEAsINESS IN THE LEAGUE AT
DUBLIN
Davitt's Arrest Still the Exciting Topic.

NEW YORK, Feb. GA London despatch
says that as soon as the Irish members had
been suspended, a meeting OF the party was
held, and after discussion decided to issue
manifesto to the Irish people, asking them to
remain quiet and not to allow themselves to be
forced into a conflict with the armed forces of
the Empire. During the night Mr.. Paruell re-
ceived several communications from Liberal
clubs throughout England condemning the ac-
ton of the Speaker and hoping that the agita-
tion in England against coercion would be car
rled on vigorously.
DUBLIN Feb. 5.-Great uneasiness exists in
the ranks of the Leaguers at Dublin. 1t is ex-
pected that the Government will pounce on all
the officers of the executive, seize the offices at
Dublin and disband the League by proclama-
tions.
In view of the League being forcible dis
solved, great vigor is being thrown into the
work of organization in the Ladies' Irish Ma
women" was yesterday issued by Anna Par
nell, Clare Stretch, Mamie Lynch and Harriet
Byrne, the four honorary secretaries. The ad-
dress declares that the time has come when all
law will be suspended in Ireland, and when in
all probability the trusted leaders and organiz-
ers of the League will be imprisoned, and calls
upon the women of Ireland to do their duty
while their countrymen do theirs. 1t says
'They do not shrink from danger, and one of
the noblest of them, Michael Davtt, has al
ready been reconsigned to convict's CELL"
The address thus concludes:-"F your
selves into branches of the Ladies' National
Land League. Be ready to give information
of evictions in your districts to collect funds
and apply those which have been intrusted to
you as emergencies may arise. You will prob
ably have to administer money collected in
Europe and America where millions of our
race have been exiled by the inhuman land
laws"
Among the great mass of the Irish people
the arrest OF Mr.. Davitt is condemned as cow
ardly and arbitrary Even his worst enemies
think that the Government has made mis-
take and should at least have brought him to
trial as the conservative Government did. 1t
is generally supposed that his extraordinary
speech at Boris, Tipperary, last Sunday, ex-
hausted the patience of the Government.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-The Times approves of
Davtt's arrests and says Davitt has been an
active agent Of sedition, verging on treason,
and that he is an adventurer acquainted with
the springs and methods of the Fenian con-
spiracy. point had been reached in the
crisis of affairs when it was absolutely incon-
sistent with public safety that the demoraliz-
ing spectacle of triumphant lawlessness, fur
nished by Mr.. Davitt, could longer be tolerat-
ed. 1t is quite impossible that any Govern
ment could shut its eyes to the latest step in
rhe march of disaffectiop. Unless those whose
business it is to watch the movement are much
mistaken, the design which now commends it.
self to the agitation is to transfer the theatre
Of intimidation and violence from Irish to
English soil.

current resolution on the count of the cleo

for the same hypothetical counting which
had already tided the country over difficulties
on two occasions.
Mr.. Robeson demanded division of the
resolution. He favored the first branch, but
with regard to the second he said it did not

its passage than to record his vote according to
his opinion.
