He has requested his lieutenants 10 suggest

Taking over 200 Niles.

A Cincinnati dispatch on Monday
evening is responsible for the follow
ing: The feat of talking over 1900
miles of wire connecting two tele-
phones, with no preceptible loss OF fpower
by induction, has been performed here
A telephone WAS placed in the opera
ting room of the Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph Company and another III the
cellar, The instrument were first con-
nected with wires to and from Chilli
cothe, nearly 200 miles, when the con-
versation was heard very distinctly,
though carried on in a tone indistin-
gnishable few feet from the instru.
ment. A similar line was then formed
to Grafton, w. Va, 600 miles, with the
same result, and then to Baltimore,
I 200 miles, with no perceptibls differ
ence in the distinctiveness with which
the conversation was heard. There
was absolutely no apparent loss by III
duct,on. Though fourteen telegraph
wires alongside were in full operation,
no sound Of an instrument could be
heard. The instrument used was the
new Hopkins transmitter, in which
the carbons are in constant vibration
during q conversation, the current
being thus alternately opened and
closed perfectly as by an ordinary
Morse key in telegraphy.
