The Western Union Telegraph Company
have under consideration plans to complete
the telegraph belt around the world IN
manner which will materially benefit the
Pacific coast, by the laying of submarine
cable between this coast and Yokohama.
SURVEYS of the bottom of the Pacific and
proper soundings have been taken several
times by the Federal Government with such
a view. Among the suggested routes are
from San Francisco to Yokohama, San Diego
and Cape Mendocino to the same place, and
from Sitka across the Aleutian Islands to
Japan. It is interesting to learn that the
cable now being laid between newfoundland
and the Irish coast will be the first cable
between the old and new worlds owned ex-
clusiyely by American stockholders.
The stone wall built by Ex-Governor Stan
ford on the Pine. street side Of his mansion
has bean in an unsafe condition for long
time. The last winters rains caused the
earth on the upper side to press down against
the work so that a large portion of it bulged
out towards the street over a foot and half,
and was liable to tumble down any time. or
some days about fifty workmen, stone-cutters,
masons, carpenters and laborers and carts
have been taking the wall down. The earth
which lay against the wall is being hauled
out on to Mason street, and will be replaced
when the wall shall be rebuilt, which will
take several months. A part of the wall on
the Mason street side will also be taken down
and rebuilt, and portion OF it lowered. The
shape of the grounds next the walls viii be
changed, so the immense pressure against
them will in measure be prevented. The
expense will necessarily be very great, as the
stone is black-gray granite. The wall is
nearly thirty feet in hight and of great thick
ness.
Charles A. Cottier is under arrest by
United States officers for changing the num-
Der and name of 81, 600 United States
bond. His real name il G. i. Anchisi, and
he was formerly chief operative of the Secret
Service Division for the Middle States. The
arrest was brought about in this manner ::
About week ago gentleman presented S.,
600 registered bond at the Sub-Treasury in this
city and asked if it was all right. Mr.. Sher-
mans suspicious that it was not all right were
aroused. lie retained the bond and at once
communicated with Chief Finnegass, who
took hold of the case. His investigation
showed that 10 change had been made in the
amount but that the number had been
altered by placing the figure at either end
of the original number, 503 so ss to make it
y, 032, and that another name had been
substituted for that of William r. Randall,
from whom the bond had been evidently
stolen. That the number of the bond was
not genuine was placed beyond question by
the fact that there is no such number of So
900 registered bonds, the highest issue of the
class being ~, 266.
