THE COMMITTEES ON TELEGRAPH FACHI-

appointed by the Produce and Cotton Exchanges,
held joint meeting to- day In the Managers
room OF tho former Exchange, and discussed the
plan Tor Il new telegraph line presented by the
Chicago committee. The produce men were
alt heartily in favor OF 1t, but the
cotton men were not disposed to cbn-
cur, because it makes nc provision for
line to the South. and they do very little busI-
neas with the West 1t did not, therefore. seem
probable that it would proyeot much advantage
to them. The Produce Committee adopted tho
following resolution, the cotton men declining
to vote:
Res1red, That the Committee Oh Telegraph
Facilities OF the New York Exchange recon-
mend to their Board the opf3iug Of subscrlp-
lions to the Merchants Telegraph Company OF
Chicago, with the restriction that 80 per cent Ut
the stock subscribed tor Is to be placed in
trustees hands as hereafter designated.
They appointed a Subcommittee, 10 carry out
the spirit OF the resolution.
LATER In THE OAK
the Cotton Exchange Committee held another
meeting and adopted a similar resolution, with
the following addition: ''Provded it is the
purpose to extend the system to other and prin-
ctpal cities and centres of the United Statcs.''
They also appointed Subcommittee TO carry
out the resolution. The Chicago Committee
promised 10 lay the views OF the New York men
before their Board OF Trade.
CONGRATULATIONS.

Directors meeting, but was represented by

CHICAGO has an anti.smoke ordinance
at last. IL simply imposes fine of s.
to $50 for allowing a smoke stack OF
house or factory or the smoke
pipe Of a locomotive 10 emit a dense
black smoke in the city, and EN-.
powers The board OF health to look after
the matter. The ordinance does not
compel the adoption Of any smoke con-
sumner; nor does it require the observ-
ance OF any specific method for consum.
ing smoke. That is left to proprietors, en-.
gineers andstokers, who may adopt their
own method for avoiding or preventing
smoke. The whole matter is very large
ly question OF fuel, furnace construc-
ton and firing, for careful practical ex.
psriments in England prove that exces.
sive smoke is msin,y the result OF SLOW.
enly and wasteful tiring-smothering
the fire with heaps OF coal which cause
it to smoke instead of burning-and that
frequent and light additions of fuel are
attended by little smoke. 1t is more a
question OF preventing smoke than OF
consuming ii, and this is the theory the
Chicago ordinance is founded on.

fused to pay them, on the ground that
it is an Ohio affair, and pays its taxes at
