THE PACIFIC CABLE.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright
Sydney, last night. Dudley Coote, in a letter to the Press re the Pacific Cable, says that if it goes by Fanning Island to Vancouver that a section of 3650 'miles in one stretch \yiil act as a toll-gate to all messages going over the whole cable, unless they make such an expensive cable that the section will cost almost as much as the whole of the other sections put together. He suggests arranging a compromise with the manufacturing cable company to let the line from Faniiing Island be landed at Honolulu, thence go to Vancouver, the whole undertaking thus being much benefited, and the only extra cost will be the repeating station.
