Annihilating Space-Talking Across the Sea through the EIectrophone. LONDON, May 8--The Paris correspondent of the Duly Telegraph sends the following account of the latest scientific sensation A remarkably interesting experiment has just been made at Calais and Dover, between which places conversation has been kept up 0iua 0oce by means of new kind of tels- phone, which has been patented under the name of electrophone. Not only were the words whispered into the apparatus distinct ly heard at Dover, and of course Uice gersG
 but the listener at one end was perfectly well able to distinguish by the mere tones of the voice the person who speaking at the other end. The scientific specialists present were astonished at the difficulties successfully overcome in the enormous condensation produced by the metallic covering which pro- tects the cable and in the induction caused by the simultaneous passage of telegraphic despatches along the other wires of the ca- ble. It should be observed that while the human voice was being transmitted through one of the wires the other wires were being employed for the transmission of ordinary telegraphic messa- ges. Moreover the experiments were con ducted between the hours of ten and four that is in the busiest part of the day, when the wires were in unceasing acquisition. The voice of the speaker was distinctly heard as soon as the wires were joined to the appa- ratus, and conversations were carried on with out interruption in the presence of Sir James Carmichal, president of the Submarine Tele- graph company, MT Sabine, MT. Despointes and other competent specialists Experiments with the same apparatus were then continued with the same results, and in the midst of the confusion produced by the simultaneous work ing of several machines at the London terMinal station the voice of the speaker was heard as plainly as though he had been in the same room. There can be no longer any doubt that it is perfectly practicable to converse across or rather under the sea by means of any subma- rine cable, and the success of the experiment opens up vistas of the possibilities of rapid communication that few years ago would have belonged to the realms of dreamland alone. The inventor maintains that it is just as easy to talk across the Atlantic as from one room to another, and he has succeeded so well in the first practical illustration of his apparatus that one is scarcely justified in doubling his assertion that he has found out 8 system by which words spoken from the other side of the ocean can be fixed on their arrival here and treasured up for further use."

 At this point Bazael, Barber and Hughes were close behind the leader. Mignault made his third mile when Hughes and Hazael had each scored miles and laps, Burns miles and laps, Sullivan and Glove miles and laps each, and Geldert and Barber miles and laps each Many bets were laid on the men before they had reached the sec ond mile. After the first mile was walked Wheatmer entered the walk, scoring one mile and laps when Mignault had made his third mile..

Am Archbfshop's Views of the Land Bill. DUBLIN, May S.-Archbishop Croke, of Cashel, in long letter published o-day, con- demns the action of the extreme party in re- solving not to follow the government into the lobby on the second reading of the land bill. His Grace does not see why the Irish party should do foolish or even imprudent things to avenge Dillon's arrest. He holds that, with great respect for the judgment of the Irish party, the vast overwhelming majority of the Irish people, including Irish ecclesias- tics of all grades, are in favor of giving the governments fair chance of passing the bill, !,
 case the amendments suggested by the bishops and the Land League convention shall have been substantially incorporated with it. '.Let it have second reading, and if it cannot be brought into such shape as will commend it to the good sense of the country and in harmony with the views ex- pressed by the leaders of sound public opin- ion let it in Gods name be rejected as made quate."
 Leavey, said to be relative of O'Donovan Rossa, but not connected with the Land League, was arrested here yesterday and lodged in Kilmainham.

Conkling's Latest Game-Aslking the President to Explain Probability that He Will be Checkmated-N0 Caucus Held Yet.
 WASHINGTON, May S.-The newest thing in the line of gossip on the nomination mud dle is that Conkling and his friends are la
 boring hard to have the President invited to appear in the executive session of the Senate and explain why he desires to displace Col lector Merritt, of New York. The stalwarts are not saying mulch but keep up deal of thinking, and the above is said to be the sub ject of thought. The Presidents right to attend the executive session has never been exercised. Mir. Hayes sent written expla- nation as to why Arthur should give the place to Merritt. This very proposition is accepted by the friends of the administration as evidence that the Conkling faction is not only recognizing the frmness of the Presi- dents position, but also their inability to keep Robertson's nomination from the Sen ate as well as the probability of his confir- nation. The Presidents henchmen ridicule the idea of President Garfield allowing him self to be called to account for any change he desires to make. Let the Senate reject any nomination they desire, 1t is said but don't think the man who has so openly declared his purpose will enter into any excuse making therefor.
 A Republican caucus has not yet been called, but in all probability one will be held to morrow. Until the reports of committees are made there is no business for the execu- tive session. But some reports are sure to be made tomorrow morning The only recognized contest is on the nominations of Robertson, Chandler and Matthews The confirmation of the latter is conceded Chandler is finding bitter Democratic oppo- sition and his fate is greatly in doubt. Scarcely a Senator can be found now, except only the closest linked Conklinites, who will express an opinion that Robert sons nomination will not reach fight in the Senate. It seems certain that if the Committee on Commerce do not rec- ognize the necessity to report it strong fight will be made for their discharge, and this can certainly be effected and the nomina- tion can be confirmed, for those who would vote with the President for confirmation would naturally be expected to vote against obstacles to the same.
