practical lack Of contests and the pro-
ceedings we're harmonious to the point
Of tameness.

satisfactory to the Carmack men and
no contest was made.
The suggestion by the committee on
permanent organization of Congress-
man j. w. Gaines for permanent

Every speech made in the conven-

political look.

Attention is called by The Electrical
Review to the fact that in all the dis
cussion of the trans Pacific cable,
little or nothing has been said about
cable ships. These vessels are pc
culiar and expensive. and though
there are something like IS of them
in existence, not one OF the 50 flies the
American flag. II, therefore, the
Pacific cable is to be entirely of Amer
lean production, we must have at least
two cable ships, costing about 5000,
900 each, and they cannot be built in
day or a month The expense of a
plant for making ocean cables The
Electrical Review puts at 81, 90, 900.
It must be at the waters edge in or
der that the cable may pass direct
from the machines into the vessels
hold. The cable itself will cost about
$13, 600, 600, and the total expenditure
before a message is sent aci oss the
broadest Of the seven seas is estimated
at $40, 900, 900, which is lot OF money
from some points OF view, though not
so much from others.
