PACIFIC CABLE.
A New Bill Presented to the House
COMMITTEES.

A New Bill Presented to the House
Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Pacific
cable project was once more the sub
ject of discussion by the House Com
mittee on Commerce to-day, Bennett
of New York presenting substitute
bill embodying several amendments
suggested by members in former dis
cussions.
1t was the sense Of the committee
that instead of the subsidy Of $160,O0
asked for by the Pacific Cable Com
pany, the New York corporation, the
Government should not help it in a
greater sum than 100000 year for
twenty years, if any agreement were
made, and the Government business
should be done free for all time.
Benefits bill fixed the rates for pri-
vate business at 81 % per word to
China and Japan and at 80 cents to the
Hawaiian Islands, press rates to be
one-fourth these figures.
The company has abandoned it's in
tention to try to secure a mid ocean
station on Marshall Islands, which are
under the control of the German Gov
eminent, and has fixed upon the Mid
way Islands, which are uninhabited and
belong to the United States.
