EDISON A LIGHTNING INVENTOR.
From tho Washington Republican. Nov. ie,

J, d. Fuller. Of, New York. the electrician and
scientific head Of the largest electric lighting COM
pany in this countryis stopping at the Ebbitt.
After years constant illness Mr.. Fuller comes
here TO look after his patent matters which he has
so long been obliged TO neglect. In a conversation
with Repmbcan reporter Mr.. Fuller let out the fol
lowing facts. which very interesting the pres

electric illumination he says it must come soon /:
that il only needs few finishing touches when gas

Inflated. some enthusiasts predict, but will
take stand far below that now occupied by
oil. Those finishing touches are now being fast
applied. and by such an army of clear. headed
inventors that, while can receive the
honor Of its full accomplishment, It will all DO d.
vidcd among American inventors. More has been ac.
compshcd here within two years in practicable
way than has been done in Europe in the last twenty
five years. Indeed. the latest and most valuable in
ventions being introduced in Europe are subject
to patents there held by Ancricansa fact which for.
eign inventors seem to ignore. but will fully under
stand in due time. The great bugbear-the dvisibil-
ity Of the electric ctirrentwhich for years deed all
science and ingenuity-wili soon disappear forever

first time taking the lead by coming 10 the front with
their money TO aid the inventors and the enterprise
there being at this moment Ave large companies or
ganizcd in New York and Brooklyn alone, represent

reasonably look for an early solution Of the problem
of general electric illumination.
