pines, China and Japan.
WILL BE READY IN TWO YEARS
Tho Commercial Pacific Cable Company
Incorporated to Connect New York
City With the Far East-Prcsent Cable
Rates Will lie Reduced From Thirty
to Sixty Fer Cent.

Albany, y. Y.-The Commercial Pa
cific Gable Company has been incor-
porated with Il capital OF 100000 The
general route of the company is from
New York City across the United
States to California, thence under the
Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands.
thence to the Philippine Islands, touch
ing other islands in the Pacific
Ocean.
The directors are John w. Mackay,

Ward, Albert Beck. William w. Cook,
and George Clapperton. of New York
City; Albert B. Chandler and Edward
c. Platt. of Brooklyn. and Clarence
II. Mackay, of Roslyn. l.. |.
In explaining the purposes of the
new company John w. Mackay said
that the Commercial Pacific Cable
Company had been organized for the
purpose of laying II submarine cable
from California To the Philippine ISL
ands by way of Honolulu. in the ua-
waiian Islands. The length oc the ca
bic will be about $500 miles.
The part first laid will he from Cali.
fornia to the Hawaiian Islands. n dis
tancc of about 2200 miles 1t is cx-
pected that this portion will be in
operation within nine months. The
time required for the laying of the re-
mainder of the cable from the U,
"allan Islands to the Philippine Isl
ands will depend upon how quickly
the cables can be manufactured. Nh.
Mackay believes that the whole cable

Mr.. Mackay further explained tha,
the new cable, when it reached the
philippines, would connect mt that
noint with the present submarine ca
ble running from the Philippines to
Japan, and also the cable runnin"
from the Philippines to China. and
mat direct route from China and
Japan to the United STATES would
thereby be established, which he Inc.
lieved would be of the greatest benc-
Ut to the growing commerce and trade
between the United States and the
Far East.
At present cablegrams from China

by way OF Europe. Mr.. Mackay also
stated that the present cable rates
