ALASKAN TELEGRAPH
LINE FINISHED At LAST

Washington, Oct 5.-General Greeiy
has received a dispatch from Major
Edgar Russell Of the signal corps an
nOuncing that the Burnside, which has
been engaged in laying a cable from
Valdez, Alaska. buoyed the eastern ca
bic end at the mouth of Sitka harbor
on Monday afternoon.
IL will require several days to make
the shore end connections in the mar
row passage OF Sitka harbor and throw
open the cable TO commercial business.
This completes the Alaskan tele-
graph system which has been under
construction for the past three years,
during which time about 1000 miles Of
land lines and submarine cables have
been constructed and laid, and il
brings the Nome and Bering strait re-
gions in direct communication with
the United States over an all American
route.
This system contains the first sub
marine cable OF American manufac-
ture. and the length is sufficient to ex-
tend from Newfoundland to Ireland.
