THE CABLE WAR.
Success of Low ates-InteTcsting state
ments From Directors.

Success of Low Rates es-Intercsting state
ments From Directors.
LONDON, July ~. The Directors of the
AnglO-American Telegraph Company to-
day issued a report to the shareholders
which contains the following statements:
The reduction of the tariff from two
shillings to one shilling eight pence per
word, introduced by the Commercial Cable
Company on December -, 1851, resulted
in large decrease in the gross revenue pro
duced by the Atlantic cable traffic. Never
theless, it was determined by the AssO-
ciated Cable Companies to give the rC-
duced tariff fair trial in order 10 avoid q
war of rates and To determine rs early as
possible whether the reduction would re-
suit in any remuneratiye increase OF traffic.
After more than a years trial it was
found that the very contrary was the case,
and as the rival company reSOrted TO
means to obtain n greater share Of the
traffic than the possession of two cables
fairly entitled them to, the Directors ofthc
Associated Companies came to the oOnciu-
sion that it was necessary, in the interests
Of their proprietOrs. to adopt low rate.
Accordingly on the 9Th of May, 1SSG, the
rate was reduced by the Associated Gable
Companies TO six pence per word, and by
special arrangement with the Western
Union Telegraph Company, of America,
this tariff was made to extend to all the
principal cities and towns in the United
States and Canada. For press news n
special rate of three pence per word be
tween London and New York was also
adopted. On the slme date the tariff Of
one shilling per word.
The effect of this important reduction
of rates by the Associated Companies has
been a very considerable augmentation Of
the traffic, much larger, indeed, than was
anticipated as first result, amounting to
over 40 per cent, and although the total
receipts have been greatly decreasd, the
company is earning sufficient to pay its
working expenses and to place such sum
to the credit OF the renewal fund, as, with
the accruiug interest, will soon bring that
fund up to l,OOO,OO0 pounds, the limit
fixed by the proprietOrs at the last half
yearly meeting. The unexpected increase
in the volume of traffic Immediately upon
the introduction of the six penny tariff, has
induced the directors to consider the exPe-
dieney of adopting permanently a system
of low rates. The Associated Companies
possess between them no less than eight
cables across the Atlantic, having a carry
ing capacity which for practical purposes
is unlimited. With such an extensive
system it is obviously their interest to en-
courage very large traffic at low rates and
by so doing prevent further multiplica-
ton Of unnecessary cables.
"By the recent reduction Of rates cable
customers and the public have the OppOr-
tunity of answering the question upon

LONDON, July 22.-The promptness of
the Queen in summoning Lord Salisbury
delights the Tories and increases the hope
of everybody that the crisis will be brief
Lord Salisbury, who arrived at the Osborne
House this evening, is credited with hav-
ing had in his pocket for some time q cut
and-dried draft of the new Conservative
Cabinet, the acceptance of which by the
Queen is a fOregOne conclusion. Every
body is talking about the coincidence OF
Lord Salisbury's relieving Earl Granville
in 1885 in the midst of the Zultikar dispute,
and now returning to the Foreign Office at
the moment of the opening of fresh dis
pute on the Afghan frontier, and the Tories
exultingly proclaim that he will soon
bring the Car to his senses.
In addition TO the renewed difficulties
in Afghanistan, diplomats are predicting
troubles in the East, largely growing out Of
the Cars irritability and impatience with
his ministers and advisers.
Lord Randolph Churchill is hurrying

The letter, which was written July 5,

counts had not been settled up, hut no
charges had been spoken or heard Of The
letter also speaks of the writer being in
poor health, and it is supposed he wander

The Most Disgusting Revelations Yet
Made.

The Most Disgusting Revelations Yet
Made.
LONDON, July 22.-On the assembling
of the court this morning in which the
Dilke-Crawford divorce case is being re-
tried, Captain Foster was called to the wit
ness stand. He testified that he had COM
nitted adultery with Mrs. Crawford, and
that he had been encouraged i'll his liason
with the respondent by Mrs. Rogerson,
keeper of the Warren street house Wit
ness further stated shat he once took Mrs.
Crawford to house of i'll fame. After
learning that Sir Charles Dixie had at
tempted to blaCkcn his character, witness
met Dixie ut Mrs. ROgcTSOnS house, where
Il war OF words occurred. He called Dixie
a liar, a scOundrcl and coward, and WAS
on the point of giving him Il good thrash
ing, but finally kept his hands off 1T the
earnest entrcaty of Mrs. ROgcrSOn.
Mrs. ROgerSOn was then recalled. She
denied the testimony of Captain Foster in
50 far as it related to herself.
This concluded the taking of testimony,
and Mr.. Henry Matthews, &C, counsel for
the petitioner, began his address to the jury
in behalf of his clint, of whom he said that
amidst the most painful throwing of The
loulcSt mud hc alone emerged clean. He
ridiculCd bikes reasons for maintaining
silence during the first trial of the case
when damning evidence was being ad-
duced showing him to be guilty of brutal
ity more bciitting the treatment of pros
titutc than refined English lady.
The cOunSels remarks intensely excited
Sir Charles His face became livid with
passion. He jumped to his feet and tried
to speak, but the Judge prevented him.
Mr.. Matthews continuing, referred with
intense Scorn to ''thc Frcnchiiicd Sloane
street orgies and said that no man who
was not 50 brutalized rs to be lost to all
shame would act rs Sir Charles had done
in them. where - asked the lawyer "is
Fanny. who is accused of sharing in these
orgies, while this young married woman,
who was betrayed and, degraded
into them is being held up
to iniamy before the whole
English speaking world for ministering to
the horrible lust of Dixie? Fanny has
vanished. She dared not appear before
this jury"
Commenting on the present lack of sens
ibility manifested by Mrs. Crawford, Mr..
Matthews said: DOUBTLESS the last spark
of shame and self respect i'll Mrs. Craw-
fortl's heart expired after the three visits
she made to Dilke's house.

Over the Exposure Of Another Mormon
Conspiracy.

Over the Exposure of Another Mormon
Conspiracy.
OGDEN, UTAH, July 23.-In the first
District at Ogden, yesterday, Ambrose
Greenwell was convicted of perjury. II
appeared in evidence before the jury that
GreenweIl had entered into conspiracy
with Others to blacken the character Of
Judge Orlando W. Powers and Miss Sarah
Herrick, of Ogden, for the purpose Of pre-
venting the President from resubmitting
the name Of Powers 10 the Senate as
one Of the Judges Of Utah Territory.
In pursuance Of this conspiracy Greenwell
started slander TO the effect that Powers
had been guilty Of the seduction Of Miss
Herrick. Greenwell peDured himself in
his testimony before the Grand Jury in
trying to support the slander. The case
was tried by District Attorney Dickson
and Assistant District Attorney Hiles for
the people, and ex-Judge Emerson and
James Kimball for the defense. 1t has
been the sensation Of the day. Gentiles
are rejoicing at the outcome, rs it exposes
another Mormon conspiracy. The argu-
ments Of Hiles and Mickson were especial
ly severe on the practices Of the church.

CAUGHT IN THE GALE.
A Lake Steamer DiSmantIed and Her Crew
Almost Drowned,

Chicago, July 22.-The schooner
Waneta. Captain Jones, arrived in port
this morning in u badly demoralized con-
dition She left Chicago last night light,
bound for MuSkegOn, and when about ten
miles out on the lake she encountered 4
severe gale which carried away some of her
fore rigging and jammed her up 80 that she
could not be handled. She brUached to in
the heavy sea, which boarded her and
swept her from stem to stern, finally car
rying away her nbboom and swapping her
forcmast off close to the deck. For time
her crew of five men was in the utmost
peril and had TO cling to the
vessel to prevent being washed over
board by the waves which swept over
her All night they hung ON, while every
instant the vessel threatened to tOundeTun
til ut daylight they were sighted, through
the dense fog which hung over the lake, by
Captain Hogan, OF the steam barge Albert
Soper. 4 heavy sea was still running, and
made the efforts of the Soper'S crew to save
the schooner futile Captain H~gan spent
some time in endeavOring to pick up the
Wancta, hut finding that it was impossible
to go-alongside hcrwith his heavy vessel, he
set out in search of n tug. on the mouth of

Johnson, was 70, I'D and sent Othe Waneta's
relief. After several hours hard work the
Thcielcke succeeded in picking the schooner
up and towing her back to the life saving
station.
