INspite oi the efforts OF Senator HOWE,
Chairman oI the New York Custom
House Investigating Committee, not to
lind out anything disCreditable to the
management Of that institution, the most
convincing evidence Of Its rottenness mul.
tiply from day to day, and if the Commit,
tee will but sit a little while longer these
proofs will become overwhelming. The
full reports in the New York papers show
even more plainly than the briet ones by

mittee proceeds as If he were the counsel
Of the plunderers rather than Senator Of
the United States. Instead Of trying to
elicit the truth he labors constantly TO
confuse and discrcdit witnesses who have
anything to tell. And yet the truth Is
coming out inspi!e of him, and 1t shows
state Of facts that must make those
Senators who opposed the investigation
feel as If they had been caught stealing
sheep, or something else.

WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH.
The New York Office Moved Into
New and Splendid Quarters,

The New York Office Moved Into
New and Splendid Quarters.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-The new ope-
rating room of the Western Union Tele.
graph Company at its principal office,
No. 145 Broadway, was occupied this p.
NJ. Five months time has been spent in
Its preparation. 1t is now the finest room
of the kind in the country. The officers
OF the Company have expended money
lavishly in providing for the comfort Of
their employees. They have evidently
taken advantage Of all the improvements
which time and tAste have demonstrated
to be Of value. -Four O'clock was the hour
appointed for the transfer OF the operators
to their new quarters. Quite number Of
invited guests were then on hand To wit
ness the event. Many Of those present
doubtless feared that at the critical mo.
ment some unlocked lor hitch might in
terfere with the prompt use Of the room,
but at O'Clock President 0rten called the
company to order, operators having q few
minutes previously filed their new stations,
in a few well chosen remarks opened the
room for business. Mr.. Orton congratu.
lated the employees upon their possession
Of new quarters, which, he said, were the
fruit Of twenty years experience, and
which are really marvel Of taste and
elegance. he praised the operators for
the cheerful assiduity with which their
laboFs have been performed, and said,
"If they do as well In future asln the past
the company will be ready to meet all the
demands OF the public and to remove all
danger of governmental interference with
the telegraph" 4.
At SO minutes past o'clock every man
was at his work and the change of offices
complete. Among the Improvements in
the new room are splendid nickle plated
switchboard so nicely arranged that the
wires can be changed from one instru.
ment to another in an instant. Complete
sets Of new desks and instruments and
the use Of steam IN the running OF the
printing instruments. In the copying de.
partment the wires are all laid under the
floor In cables, and the great room, 100
feet In length by 80 in width, Is, to an
outsider, filled only with desks, at which
upwards OF hundred operators are
writing to the clicks of the small machine
which has made the name ot Morse illus.
trious throughout the world. Great credit
Is due VIM. Orton, General Superintend'
ent; Thomas T. Eckert, District Superin.

the new room has been arranged, and the
almost inconcelvable rapidity with which
the transfer OF the operators was accom-
plished.
