OPPOSITION 70 GALE.

The special correspondent Of the Sc
attic Times outlines the easy pathway
mapped out for the Pacific Cable bill!
in the present Congress. He adds
Notwithstanding this easy sallins,
however, for the cable bill, ii will un
doubtedly experience a stormy passag &c
for the Northwest coast is prepared to
make a strong effort to have the Pa
cific coast terminus on Puget Sound in
stead Of San Francisco"
This statement is pleasant reading To
the great telegraph combinations that
have been ever watchful to take ad-
vantage of local jealousies or any thing
else that might serve to delay legisla-
ton for Pacific cable construction. II
seems hardly possible that Congress
men or Senators OF the Northwest win
offer anything beyond a perfunctory
opposition to the San Francisco Hawaii
scheme. Neither is it probable that op.
position to this route can head of
legislation much longer. Sectional
jealousy is too apparent; the demands
of commerce and eventualities OF wal
are too pressing for Congress to allow
itself to be held up by the. specloua
arguments Of the northern route.
This great circle, northern rou.o
proposition has about as much force as
regards the cable as it has with captain
Of sailing vessels and steamers. 1t can
be easily demonstrated on paper that
the shortest way to the Orient Is By
way of the great circle. 1t has also been
demonstrated by long practice that tho
heavy weather encountered nullihes
any advantages offered by the shorter
distance. The longest way around Is
the shortest way home, especially when
favorable trade winds are encountered
in place of the dangers Of northern
sea. Until the north pole fails to man
ufacture icebergs, the prestige of Ha-
wall as a midocean center for ships oi
commerce and cable lines cannot be
overcome.
