OCE1N CABLE RITES.
TBY CABLR TO THE TRIBUNE.l

LONDON Nav 15.-There has been considerable
advance in all descriptions of Anglo American tel
egraph stock, owing to the restoration of the two
shillmgs tariff and the consolidation of seyera!
interests.
One of the results of the agreement tetween the
Atlantic cable companies is the notice that rates
wil be doubled latter May D. The companies for
some months have been discussing terms for a
pooling agreement. which was completed finally on
last Saturday. The present tes of % cents word
have been in force since last August, when reduc-
tion was made in anticipation of the early compile
tion of one of the cables of the American Com
pany. After May 22 the rates will he 80 cents a
word The American Gable Company opened its
lines for business Yesterday but il offered to take
messages only at the advanced rates.
Before the opening of the new french cable IN
January, 1880 the rate for messages was 20 cents
IA word. This cable was opened for business about
the time that the land lines of the American Union
Telegraph Company were opened to The principal
points reached 10y it. The French Company adopted
a tariff OF 80 cents word on May J, 1850, but n
break on the following day delayed the sending OF
messages until the next month. 1t dld not change
its rates, although the Anglo American sent mes
sagcs at l2i2 cents word The Direct United
States Company reduced its rates to 30 cents, and.
Immediately after the actual opening of the new
French line to 81 L cents. An agreement was madc
afterward by the three companies, by which the
tariff of tho French Company was adopted by all
the lines.
The American Cable completed the laying of It's
first cable late in the summer of 1851, and OF Its
second cable recently In September, hen it pro-
posed 20 open it's first line for business 1t estab-
lshed rate of 37l2 cents a word although the
other companies had again reduced their rates to
% cents to meet the expected competition. Tho
price of the stocks of the old companies advanced
sharply in London in consequence of the announce
ment. The American Cable Company did not open
its lines at that time however, and since then
negotiations for a division Of the business have
been in active progress. They have reached az sue
cessfu termination il agreement to pool all tho
cable business The advance in rates Is said to be
direct consequence OF this agreement. The super
inendent of one of the old companies said yesterday
that the combined companies had lost % 900 a day
at the nresent tariff of - cents a word

GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


WASHINGTON May 15.-Senator Miller attempted
to-day to have passed the House bill providing for
q public building at Rochester, n. Y. The House
bll which he moved to substitute for the Senate
BILL limits the cost to 100000. Senator Rollins
stated that the committee had instructed him to re-
port in favor of this substitution but Senator Lap
ham objected and, in spite of Senator Mliers re-
quests, refused to withdraw his objection As the
bill was being considered under the Anthony rule a
single objection sent it over. 1t Will
keep its place. however, on the calendar.
Senator Lapham's action, the reasons forwhich
he did not state, was received with some
surprise by the Congressman who, like him
self como from the Western part OF the state.
1t is urged that a public building is much needed
in Rochester. where the Government offices have
not adequate accommodations, and that the inter
est on the cost of the proposed building would not
exceed the rentals that must soon be paid, under
the increase of business, for inferior quarters.
Roches;eris the largest city in the State next to
Brooklyn that asks for public building and 1t Is
arsued that the volume OF official business transac
ted there and the needs of citizens well as of the
Government force require more suitable and health
ful accommo dations than are now had.
