Cable- Special to the llr.n.l The Huko of
Mailuoroiuh denies cveiythtng rclallnc to
Lady Campbell , but acknowledges \arlous
humiliating liitidcnts connected with other
women. Captain Shaw , of the lire depart
ment , also denies everj thing. Lidy Miles
denies of hei own knowledge llio great part
of the testimony against Lady Campbell.
'iliese three points form the leading
katuresof to daj's hearing ot the Campbell
divortecase. Mho usual ciowd , aristocratic
and otherwise , was present. Lady Miles
gave impoitant testimony with amused In
terest lather than disgust nt her position ,
The Duke of Mnilhoiough looked grave and ,
o.s ho confessed the scandalous Incidents in
his caiccr , < ecmed much more up ot by the
dlscovciy of his lelatlons with a woman
ot tlio town than by the allusions to
dhorco eases in which ho had
liRiircd. Captain Trollope , aldc-do-camp to
Cencral Wilds , gave his testimony with such
urtncss anil ev iden t disgust thai ov cry sharp
" \es" \ or "no" ' caused the audience to smile.
Several unfortunate charitable women added
to the amusement of onlookers by testimony
TCgaidlng Ladj Colin's charities. An In-
K'rlptlon to Lady Colin Campbell from the
London collaju mlbslon , thanking her for
kindness to the poor and expressing the sin
tere pra > er that God's lichest blessing might
attend her all htr life , on a bible piesented
to Ladj Colin seemed , when read bv Counsel
Matthews , to especially please the audience.

pioteedlngs to-day. An architect deseilbed
Ids measurements and e.xpeiiments with the
keyhole tlnoiigh wliieh a seivanl had sworn
to seeing Lady Colin impioperly situated.
The architect seemed quite sure that no ono

JIneouraged by nelty jokes of this sort , the

Decn something scandalous. Itspiopileiors
and a man named Kock , who tried to < t.art
this company two jears ago , but who has now
nothing whatever to do with us , hada ctlous
quariel , so out of personal splto the Finan
cial News began to blttcrlj attack us and
brought It in Hie nnmcs of two othei men
for which I hey ( the Financial News ) have
been served wllh a writ and the latter gen
tlemen will undoubtedly recover heavy
damages. We anticipate that the bulk of
our traffic will come fiom Canada and the
West Indies , but If mind this Is my per
sonal fcellni. wo could join theM.ackaj-
Hcnnet companv , why then we should dtive
the Moncks and Fenders out of
the field altogether. 'Iho lettcis
that Weavci , a managing diiector In
( ho Anglo , has been writing to the Times
and other panels , have been , to saj the least ,
misleading. Look at the last icports of the
Anglo and Dliect and jou will see in a mo
ment thai lie makcb the same llcuies for all
his statements. Wo heat and believe thai
the traflle of thu pool companies has luciexsed
since the irductlon of the latu to ( Id a woid ,
118 percent , M ) that wo conhtlentlj hope lor
good times , and In about nine months our
eablo will be laid forvvotking. "
1 next Inleiviewed Mr. Otto Hochcs , at
Ids offices In Lombaid street , In reference to
the companj. Ho has been connected with
telegiuph about eighteen > eats , and claims
to have mastcicd Its evcrj little detail. He
said : " 1 was managing dhectoi of tlio Ori
ental-American Telegraph company which
amalgamated with Adftlph Flamant's Tele
graph companj' . well known In Mew York.
I Introduced the French syndicate Into the
Ponjer Questicr companj1 , and at the same
tlmo suggested the Azotes route , but It was
out-voted. 1 oilglnatcd the idea of tlio In-
tei national company cable. Our object will
bo to maintain a cheap tariff and give good
service , but had the Mackay-Hennett com
pany been forced to join tlio pool then wo
should bo obliged to stall
with n tariff of 2s ( M , or 8s per
woid. This compinj' was only stalled about
ayearaeo. Of coinso Its progress has been
slow , but fair. It Is scarcely a jcar since we
bad om concession given by thu Portuguese
government. The same loute lias been on
the tapis for twenty jears bill thu opposition
has been so stiong it could not be adopted
until now One Choatc , of Boston , United
States , proposed the same louto In
l&O'J and others before and since
then have been tijlnc to pcilcct it.
Dr. .John Hopkinson , F. ] { . S. , and member
of tlio Institute ot civil encineets , has ap
proved the specifications ol the ionic * and the
cable will Uu made under his pcisotial super
intendence and will appoint the staff to
watch the lav ingot the cable on ills behalf ,
Di. Hopkinson Is elccttlclan lo the boaid of
trade and to Tilnlty liouse. This loute offers
advantages that no other could do. The great
point Is that otn first cable will bo laid at a
saving of JL.'CO.OOO In comparison with the Di
rect cable. Flores , in the Ames , wheie the
cables will connect , will act as a relay sta
tion , tints avoiding the expense inclined by
the other cable company , and again the
Avon's i onto can be vvoiked with a lighter
and cheaper conductor and insulator owing
to the shorter length of Its cable.
Of couise vvo expect our fair share
of work from the United States
and Canada , but one ol our principal aim
w 111 bo lo open no cheaper communication
with the West Indies. Yes , the scheme has
gone to an allotment and the bulk of thu cap
ital lias been taken bj Kngllbh investors ,
thai Is , the first issue of 000,000 which is so-
currcd by application guarantees and it
part by contractors' shares. l < oi the balance
ot the capital we shall make a second issue a
n future time in Ameilea and on the conti
n cut.
1 cannot give j-ou any Investois' name1
now , but out share list will be printed short ! )
when the names and addresses of the
stock-holders will bo made public
We expect to have the first cable laid ant
ready for woikingby next summer. The
eontiacl lor building it lias been given to W
T. Henloj-'s Telegtaph works limited , a
.Noith Woolwich. Oui contiact gives us the
option of pajlng the Hcalejs 200,000 h
shaies in pait pajment , bu
wo may not call upon then
to take. It. Of couise if the Anclo wanted a
new cable made , they would send to the
TelcL-iaph Construction companj , which Is
icallj John Fender , and say : ' 'hay us a
cable. " ' 1 he money would bo taken from
Pendei's company , tlio Anglo , and go
into IVudei's pocket thiotigh his coiibtiuc-
tlon eomp my. We did not say to any one :
"Build us a eablo. " On the contiaiy I
woiked out the cost oftheiaw mateilalsal
the pic-sent maiket value mjsell.tben al
lowed so much toi making and laying , and
airlvcdat the cable's actual cost. Then 1
went to Heiilej'b and asked them : "Will
jou lav a cable foi bo much , " and wo came to
tei ins. The aveiago cost of each of om
cables will bu itn.OOO , fullj
equipped , which Includes all thu
pielin.inarles , expenses , concessions , etc.
Om Idea In stinting lids company Is not to
sell out. Oh , no ; It Is not being built foi that
put post . Manj of our hhaieholdeis have ex
posed themselves as putting their money

of belling out we should have made a hlghei

The contiact h is been madu as low as possi

Of coiir-o vvo would sell It wn got JUO lor

bought its liist opooncnt , the Fiench Allan-

know to-day. Wo have an exclusive con-

Yes , the ocean bed bus been mapped out to

that puipobo wo have e imaged a special

"Conslderabio inlsapprelicnsion appears to
prevail regarding tlio arrangement made for
the convcj atice of the malls from this coun
try to the United States. The facts are
arc thc o : For pcvcral years past the Cu-
nard.Inmaii and White Star companies have
seemed a monopoly In the comoj.nice of the
mall by forming a combination azalnst the
poslofllco and refusing absolutely to c.iny
any malls unless allowed to carrv all , except
ing only letters specially subscribed bv Iho
senders for convcjance by other ships , in
the Intciest of the public who have con
stantly demanded tlio fieeiiseot all or any
fast Atlantic stoimers , the postolllco has lone
ndeavored to lueak up tills monoply. As
ongairo as the 1st ot October last the post-
nastcrgenci.il had before him offers foi the
: onvojance of the mails , not only without
lonopoly , but on terms lowei bj in pei cent
nn those paid to tlm late contractor , but
ivvlng to the desire of the government to so-
: ure the Berv Ices ot all the best ships foi the
ogular mail" , negotiations were lor some
line pending with the Cunard and White
itnr compinles. Theio two compunles
fulng ; ceased to comblno with theii
' 01 mm colleagues. the Ininan com-
iaiiy , persistently refused to waive
lie exclusive right which they had de-
Handed for themselves alone , and their ten
et was so framed as to five to them the ox-
lusive convojanco of the malls for neatly
wovearswlth the above mentioned exccp-
Ion of specially superscribed letters an ex-
option of which the public avail themselves
nit little , pirtly through want of Informa-
ton with iczaul to other ships competing
\nil to their iclativo speed , and partly
liiough the natural expectation that the post
fllco will send all letters by the speediest
neans available. The Cunard and White
Star tender was moreover , limited in tlio hist
nstanco to two days in each week , Wcdnes-
layand Saturday. This limitation the gov-
inment at once declined and asked the two
companies w bethel they would be prepared to
: any the Ameiican mails on the two davs ot
lie week ; Thuisday and Satmdav as foimer-
y , leaving the postmastei geneial to provldo
'orthcthlid dtbpateh from other set vices of-
eicd him. The two coiiipaiile.s dcclliud to
consent to that condition 01 even to under-
u the conveyance of the malls on Thtirs-
lay and on such Situidajs as wcie other-
ivise provided for. But cventiallv the
iinard companv olfeicdto piovlde a tldid
scivice in each week by cirrv Ing the mails to
Hoston by tlieli Tuesday steamshipb In
addition to the two services to New Yoilc.
Having regard to the Infeilor speed of the
ships on the Hoston line , it was evident to
the postmaster genetal that such scivlce
could not be elthci satistactoiy to the public
01 creditable to the postolhce , tor theie
seemed probability that the mall via .Boston
would eventually bo outstripped by the
Thuisday mail ditcet to New Yoilc. Healing
n mind tliat the poatoflicc would be pic-
iluded by the terms of tlm Cunard and White
Star Co's offer fiom making an improve
ment In thu scivico for neaily two jeais ,
however uigently such impiovnmcnts might
be demanded , the government felt they had
no alternative but to icfuse the joint tender
audio close at once with offers which the
postmaster general had received fiom two
othei BiUisli companies for the conveyance
ot Tuesday and Saturday malls and to use
the light which ho enlovs under the intei-
national convention of thu postal union to
secure the convevance of the Thuisdiy's
mall by the packets of the Noith German
Llojd. Indeed It was found that if the post-
office was to secure a toleiably satisfactorj
seivlco on Tuesdajsit had no option foi
Thuisday's service , cxcci > t by the Noith
Cieiman Llojd , as the Oceanic company declined -
clined to provide one if the
po tofllce continued to use steam
ers of other lines on Tuesdays.
Under the arrangement thus made for the
next Unco mouths Tuesday's mails wvill go
as formeily by the Inmin intcinational line ,
the newowneis of which have undeitaken
to improve the fleet generally , and to replace
one ot their ships which is slow by a fastet
one. Thuisday mails will bo foiw.uded from
Southampton bj expicss steamers of the
Noith ( jciman l.lovds , which the
owners will detain at Southampton
for UhurHlay night's mall.

use ol w hicli as legnlai mall p ickct the pub-

on leconsidciation to nrike a tendet on the
saimi tooling as othei owners , Iheie is noth
ing to pievent the use of their ships after the
end ol Febntar ) . As an impulsion seems to
exist that the postmaster has made aeon-
tiact with a foreign counti.v heavily biibsl-
di/cd bj Its own govcinment , It ma } bo
vrell to btatetli.it no contiact has been made

In the public comments on this employment

that it gives to every statu in the union the
