New News Of Yesterday
The Atlantic Cable Bill in
the Senate
By Holland.

Il suppose that the government at
Washington is and always has been
justified In looking with great suspi-
cion and lncredulity upon any new
proposition in the form OF invention
or apparatus which is brought to its
attention. Only the government au-
thorities know how many utterly
worthless schemes and plans and al
legged inventions are brought from
time to time TO the attention of de-
partment officers. This probably ex-
plains why Il is that almost all of the
things which had real value and
which were brought 10 the attention
of the different departments met
with much difficulty before they were
accepted. That was the case with
Ericsson when he offered his Moni-
tor to the Navy Department at the
time of the civil war. IL came very
near being rejected Prof. Morse
had serious time trying 10 persuade
Congress to give him little help
toward the establishment OF the tele-
| graph He once told me that he
would gladly have sold the inven-
tion to the Federal government for
100000"
This remark was made to me by
the late Capt. Frederick c. Wagner
who was at the time of the civil war
provost-marshal for New York City
and who did much to suppress the
draft riots of 1868. His name is a
familiar one to the members of the
Masonic fraternity, for it was in
large measure due to his efforts that
the model Masonic home was es-
tablished at Utica, n. Y.
Il remember having had a con.
versation with Cyrus W. Field, whom
l knew we'll and with whom l had al
one time considerable business trans
actions" said Capt. Wagner. Mr.
Field told me that II it had not beer
| f0f the earnest support given To fi'
Atlantic cable proposition by Thomas
Rusk, who was a United States Sen
ator from Texas, it would have beer
impossible to secure the Legislation
which II was necessary TO obtain from
the Federal authorities If the CABLE
plans were to be carried out.
remember well with what bitterness
Mr. Field spoke of some of the states
men who represented Northern State
who we're determined TO prevent tn
passage of the bill because they hat
no faith in the proposition.
This Senator frcm Texas wa
quite as enthusiastic about tn
proposition to lay a cable betweel
ireland and Newfoundland as wa
any of the men OF capital who as
sOciated with Mr.. Field. Mr.. Fiel
told me that when the bill was up 70
discussion in the Senate and at tn
time when the vote was taken Sen
ator Rusk came to him and said tina
he would endanger the passage Z
the bill unless he quilted the Cap
toi and kept away from the Senat
lobby. He told Mr.. Field to go I
his hotel and stay there out of sigt
, until action had been taken. NJ
Field did so and waited 10 hear froi
. Senator Rusk. At last a messag
was brought to him from Senate
Rusk stating that the Senate. by
) bare majority. had passed the bi
p and had Il not been for Senate
r Rusk, MIR. Field told me, the layir
