LAYING NEW CABLE.
The steamship Faraday was OFF Fire
Island this afternoon completing the laying
of the first of the two cables which will
hereafter unite the Western Union tele-
graph Office in this city with the company's
main ocean cables at CansO, Nova scotia.
The .Faraday left CansO about the
first Of last week, and laying the
cable Is she went, arrived of the
cable station near the Oriental Hotel, COney
Island, yesterday morning. The deep water
part Of the cable, which is the lightest, was
dropped and anchored at a point opposite
Fire Island. The steamer then came down
10 the cable station and laid the shore end Of
the cable, which, is very heavy, out to deep
water, but some distance from the anchored
deep water cable. Upon completing this
task the Faraday will start from the cable
station 10 lay the second c'hle t. CansO.
IL is thought that the lst cable viii be
finished and both in worsing order by the
last OfneNt week. This new arrangement
will not effect cable rates one way or the
other, but the service Is expected TO be-
more trustworthy, as hitherto the COM
pany has had 10 depend upon its land lines
To Cans0, which have frequently been made
by bad weather. There is also
prospect Ola little quicker service. The cable
i. about half as thick again ~ any pre-
yiously laid. The end which was brought
ashore this morning was about twelve
inches in circumference, but the ocean por-
tion is considerably lighter. The cable
proper consists Of two wires, which are pro-
tected by weaving OF WIRE, TWO loose
strands Of steel wire and coating Of some
sort of composition imperyious to moisture.
