Since the British Government. in the
year 1870. assumed control OF all inland

grown TO enormous proportions. The
object of assuming this control was
iwofold. first. TO reduce the cxorbitant

secondly. to safeguard the public
against any return TO former charges.

tenn will he overthrown.

There are no American makers Of
cean cable. SO the insertion Of a clause
n the Pacific cable bill by the House
Committee on Commerce. providing
that "the cable shall be Of American
make. and that the cable ships shall ny
the American nag." is considered BY
President Scrymser Of the Pacific
Cable Company to be likely to AFFECT
the rapidity and thoroughness OF the
work.
He said to-day: I'VE in America
never have done that work. and the
plants. the capital and. above all, the
experience. which are required for
ocean cablc-making cannot be impro-
vised under the touch Of government
undertaking. A look Mt the history Of
cablc.making for ocean lines will show
why We haven't done the work and
why we cannot do 1t offhand. even II
We try.
practically all ocean cables. from
the first transatlantic line in 1857 up to
the present day. have been made in
England. and English firms have .
practical monopoly Of the experience.
The first Atlantic cable was made BY
Glass. Eliot L. Go. The failure of this
and the loss Of the second resulted In
the formation Of great company--the
Telegraph Construction and Mainten.
ance Congratulated by great CAPT.
tai. and this company made n success
Of the third cable and gave impetus to
further work of the sort. But the nee.
essary experience had been expensive
and England was the first to acquire II.
Then. In 1870. when England paid $780,.
100000 for the land telegraph lines Of
the Islands. that capital went at once
into plants aud ships for making and
laying ocean cable. Thus England had
the lead. To make the cable in Amer.
lea we would have to have big plant
and n good many men of practical ex.
pericncc in such work.
"For this, large investment, fur
into tho millions. would be required.
and II the cable. when laid. should fail
In any way. It's makers would suffer n
dead loss of all their work and have to
replace the cable Mt their own cost.
Then there must be some ten ships Of
at least $500 tons specially constructed
for the work. Each ship requires full
outfit Of apparatus for every branch Of
the work and to be manned by men Of
experience. All this equipment Is found
only In England. Evidence Of this mp.

many wanted cable she could be sure
Of and wanted It qulckly-just the stu.
alton ut present Of the United States.
She guarantees about per cent. Of the
whole cost. and then tho cable is made
In England. That shows the German
appreciation Of this need of experience
