Pacific Cable Subsidy Debate At House On Foreign Cable
The House committee on commerce heard General Swayne advocate for a US to Japan cable via Hawaii with an annual subsidy up to 160000 dollars. He supported competing bids and argued British plans threaten American enterprise. Other items included subsidies for the Pacific Cable Company of New York, mine closures in Leadville, Texas arrests, and varied international news from Washington to Europe.
