CABLE SERVICE
WORKING AGAIN
Repairs Are Not Yet Complete hut
Numerous Messages Were
Put Through Today.
The Alaska cable is ayain working
clear through after a suspension of
[several days’ operation while the
j eahleship Burnside repaired a defec
tive section found just outside Gape
Flattery. While the cable was out of
commission below Sitka it was ncces
| sary to communicate with Seattle by
way of the Canadian line to Dawson.
The Gateway received several days'
service that way, the messages com
injr over the l'ostal line frtmi Seattle
to Vancouver and Ashcroft, thence by
the Dominion telegraph to Dawson:
thence to F.ajfle City and Valdez l>\
the American land line, and from \ al
; d(‘z to Seward by cable. The message
concerning tin* cable wa> as follows:
Seattle. Oct. -•"> A serious defect
i has been discovered in the Alaska ea
Itle about lou miles north of Fort Law
tori. which will unavoidably interfere
with the cable service until it is re
paired. The eahleship liurnside is
now at Tacoma takintT on cable for
splicing. The repairs will probably
not be completed for a week.
'1'lie Ihirnside le't Seat I le some days
ayo to make an inspection of the
Alaska cables, as was announced at tlie
time in the cable news. It is now just
after the period of submarine storms,
which are liable to injure the cable,
and the line lias not been tested
throughout since it was laid last year.
The Durnside will come up on the
! line a> far as Valdez on its inspection
tour. It will not be necessary to come |
to Seward because the line was laid
less than ninety days ajfo and lias
[always worked to perfection.
The people of Seward are not likely i
! to see the eahleship a<rain before next 1
year, when it may come here to extend !
the cable to the westward. An etl'ort j
will be made to have the next Con-•
ifress appropriate the {Truss proceeds!
of the Alaska cable and land wires'
and the wireless service across Norton
'Sound from Nome to St. Michael for!
• the further extension of the Alaska
I telegraph service. This has been
j recommended by Maj. Glassford, Gen.
j (lively and Gen. Williams, com
: mender of the military department
i which includes Alaska.
If this i- done the cable will be ex
it ended next year from Seward to
I Dutch Harbor. Gen. Greely lias also
! siiinfested a wireless service from
Seward to St. Michael as more feasible
: than a land wire.
