Especial to the SENTINEL
New YORK, June 1S.-The Herald's
Hartford special says: The Chinese Gov
eminent recently sent instructions through
the Embassy at Washington to the Chinese
Educational Commissioner in this city to
establish a Department of Telegraphy, and
operations will be commenced next week.
At present there is no Geographic commu-
~nication in the Chinese Empire. excepting
between a few Of the large places on the
coast. It is understood that communities
ton is solely English, or other tongues
than Chinese, and that nc system has yet
been devised by which the Chinese can
communicate by wire in their own Ian
guage. The project, as reported here,
contemplates the establishment of q gov
ernmental telegraph system to extend to
all parts of the Empire, with operators
who are to be thoroughly instructed alike
in the theory and practical operation Of
the electric telegraph. 1t will be neces-
sary to prepare a system of telegraphic
signs and symbols, so that each shall indi-
cate the Chinese characters. 1t is proposed
to have the students here, in learning the
art, use the ordinary system Of this u
try, and as they are we'll acquainted with
English they could in their own country
either telegraph in English and translate
in English. or Use the proposed system OF
Chinese telegraphic symbols. The students
selected for the Geographic class are those
most advanced in their studies in this
country, and who are shortly to return to
China. G. B. Hubbell, who has recently
resigned the position OF Manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, has
been engaged by the Commission as in
structor.
