OVER THE NEW CABLE.
The First Direct Communication Over the
Mackny.Benneu Line.
New York Times.l

New 1ork Times.l
The Commercial Cable Company. better
known as the Mackay-Bennett Company,
received its first cablegram direct from
Wslterville. Ireland. at its Office in this
city, No. 81 Wall street, on Thursday
night. Ii Is the first cable company In the
world to have the termini connected direct
by cable without the use OF land wires.
From Canso, Nova Scotia, the cable runs
TO Rockaway; thence 1t Is brought to
Brooklyn, crosses the bridge. and il laid
underground up Wafer and Wall streets to
the company's Office. Messages are re-
peated at Canso. but by the new system put
in use by the company this causes no delay
OF CONSEQUENCE.
Tue system Is known rs the William
Thompson siphon-recOrder. Between two
poles OF powerful magnet Is suspended a
piece OF soft iron. In this the magnetism
is concentrated. III the field Is suspended
a coil Of fine wire. The motion OF the coil
is transmitted to the siphop-fed with the
purest anillne ink-by means OF silk fibre
so fine as 10 be almost invisible. A revolving
electric motor feeds the ink-generator by
induction between It's armatures and two
enyeloping shields. That induces the cur
rent. The instrument in the company's
Office in Wall street could almost be put
into a hat box. II makes no noise. An
endless tape passes under the point Of the
siphon, which moves back and forth 1t the
rate OF 100 dots second. The tape can be
read at any time, and the messages pre-
served, where by the old system OF mirrors
this cannot be done. The company Is pro-
yided with the mirror system, however, in
case the other instrument gets out OF order.
A message on the tape resembles a school
boys first efforts at drawing an outline Of
the Rocky mountains.
Yesterday the new cable was given up
TO congratulatory messages, questions and
answers between operators, and a general
picnic at both ends. Questions were asked
and answers received from London inside
Of minute. BY the tape method an ope-
rator at CansO, with his hand on the key,
can read and repeat the message with
loss OF time so small A. TO be inappreciable,
and the same Is true Of the repetition OF the
message in Ireland.

WOMEN MUST BE DIRECTORS.
Why Charter Was Refused for an Orphan
Asylum.

Asylum.
A philadelphia special says: Common
Pleas Court, No. 8, to-day refused the APP
plicatiOn for a charter for the FOulke
and Long Institute for Orphan Girls.
The institute was founded by the late
Mrs. Eleauor ii. Long, who LETT $780,
coo for that purpose. George NauX was
named by her As executor, and by him the
application for charter was made. Ex-
ception was taken BY Mrs. Eleanor II.
Stroud. the late Mrs. Longs nearest rela.
tive. on the ground that Mrs. Longs
intentions would not be carried out under
the charter, either o. TO the education OF
the orphans or the mode OF governing the
institution. The institution. she held. sim
ply became an annex 10 the University OF
Pennsylvania, and would be used for the
training OF purses. Judge Ludlow, in an
opinion accompanying the decision, said ::
1.-THE charter, in limiting the corporation
10 trimming girls As nurses, Ignores other
the charity" By the will the tesla
trix named four ladies as corporators,
with such other persons As may be
chosen by my executors" BY the
proposed charter vacancies shall be filled at
any future time with males only" The
charter provided for an advisory board OF
fifteen women, subject in all eases TO the
control Of the Board OF Directors. We
think under this will" said the Justice
"while there is no objection per Sc to an
advisory board, yet in the Board Of Direc-
tors women should be represented, with
power TO act. In other words. limited
number OF women should be corporators.
Until this charter Is presented to Us with
out the Objectionable features referred 70
we must withhold our approval"

report was similar to that caused by an ex-
plosion Of dynamite. One report is that
the explosion was OF gas in the railway

the bridge over the Thames has been eY-
ploded. An inquiry will be made immedi-
ateIy into the circumstances OF the explo-
sion.
