ATLANTA. Ga.. Aug. 9.—Always a
loyal defender of the rule* of the
house of representatives and of the
rules committee of that body, Speaker
W. H. Burwell, of Hancock county,
va ho is a prominent lawyer of Sparta,
Ida, and wil cable across to Cuba. The!yesterday rushed to the rules commit-
construction began In Jacksonville tte's defense before It was attacked
about a month ago. and Is expected to
b< completed as far as Key West by
the 1st of November. Then the cabl
ing across to Cuba will begin.
The approximate cost of construct-
Irg the line from Jacksonville to Key
West is $750,000. The very best in a
tcrial Is being used and the life of the
line is Indefinite. Heavy poles have
been carefully selected and in addition
a heavy coat of cresote has been ap
piled, which will add to the life t
Ibe pole. Six copier wires will com
pose the line.
The lines will be used for both tel
ephone and telegraph purposes and
will comprise six telegraph and three
telephone circuits, and all the circuits
may be used at the same time without
a telephone message Interfering with
a telegraph message. The company
bci>es to connect with every local ex
change along the East Coast, and in
that case probably all long-distance
messages will be transmitted over the
line.
Before the beginning of the work a
vdemonstratlon was made from Jack
sonville to California, and proved en
tlrely successful. When the line reach
es Key West It will be given a thor
ough demonstration to California,
New York and all distant cities In the
United States, and will doubtless pi-ve
as successful as did the first one.
