Wireless Telegraphy Has Depressing
Effect Upon Gable Interests-More Talk
About q Line to Maniln

Washington, Jan. 13.-The effect OF
wireless telegraphy on the future
submarine cable was developed TIC
some extent to-day by the house com,
mittee on commerce in connection
with the hearing on the proposed Pa
cific cable. Vice President Ward, of
the Pacific Commercial Cable com
pany, said he believed the company
he represented would be able to make
exclusive traffic arrangements from
points beyond the Philippines and
connected with China and Japan. He
maintained that while there was no
purpose to set up a monopoly, yet it
was likely his company would have
exclusive traffic arrangements with
the far east.
Chairynau Hepburn asked series
of questions as to the effect of wire
less telegraphy on the submarine ca
BILE. Mr.. Ward replied that the new
system presented a serious question.
He was not certain that the Pacific
cable project would have been under
taken if the long distance experiments
had occurred earlier. AS to the
claims that wireless signals had been
conveyed 2.00a miles across the Allan
tic, Mr.. Ward laid that if the claims
we're made good they would deter
people from laying any more cables.
