Pacific Cable Assured.

The Pacific coast was agreeably
startled last month by the announce
ment from Albany, ~ Y, that a COM
pany had been incorporated there for
laying a cable across the Pacific
ocean.
The route will be from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, thence to the Mid
way islands, to Guam and to the
east coast of Luzon. The cable will
be 6,912 miles long, completing the
telegraphic system of the entire
globe, and making a total OF 1874 $3.50
miles, all of which, excepting 1911
miles, is controlled by private indi-
viduals.
At the coming session Of congress
a bill will be introduced to push
through the construction work of the
cable.
The estimate of cost by Rear-Ad-
miral Bradford, of the Naval Bureau
of equipment, is $10,000,000.
The special demands by the gov
eminent on this cable will be re-
duced rates and absolute control over
the line In time of war.
