THE NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
How Much the Service Will Cost Patrons. and
How the Accounts Will Be Kept

Private telephones are being rapidly trans
formed into public stations, and OF the latter.
445 had been established up to last night. A
card is placed over each telephone announcing
that it is a public station, and that to send q
message will cost FIVE cents.
'How much is it going to cost the average citi-
zen a month";" asked reporter of Superintend-
emit Hockett.
ut will cost" was the response lust as much
as man wants to make it cost 1t will, how
ever shut off the deadhead business. and a
man before making call viii study
whether it is worth cents. The average
connections for one instrument on week day,
are nine to ten in number. There are practically
no calls on Sunday. This would make, then, 24O
calls month. which, at cents call, would be
$l2 Deducting the 80 per cent commission
the net cost of the telephone to the
citizen will be So month. AS the num-
her of calls increases the commission is larger.
Thus 800 connections will cost So 81 net. 400
connections, or fifteen per day. will cost So 10
net and so on" The police are allowed to tele-
phone through any of the public stations with
out charge.
The manner of keeping the accounts of the
calls is ingenious. At the central station
large frame rack has been constructed and
in this rack are stuck threaded needles,
each needle with a number corresponding to the
number of some telephone. When a call is made
the operator notes the number of the telephone
and the one called, together with the date on a
piece Of paper an inch square. This paper is
taken to the rack, the needle corresponding to
the telephone making the call is pulled out and
the paper strung on the thread, when the needle
is put back in its place. At the end OF the month
these little checks are gone and the accounts
made out accordingly.
The Cooperative (Wallace) Telephone Com
pany has decided to begin at once to erect
poles and wires on the following streets:
Pennsylvania from South to North; Meridian,
from South to New York Illinois, from South to
Ohio; Indiana avenue, from Ohio street to City

angry and appealed to the Speaker.

The Puritan wins the Yacht Race.

BOSTON, June 29.-The regatta sailed off
Marblehead to-day was. in point of weather,
wind, reputation of the competing yachts, the
multitude of spectators and the profound inter
est excited in the minds of the general
public the most remarkable race ever sailed on
the New England coast. The weather was beau
tiful. The wind, which at the start blew a whole
sail breeze, rapidly increased to fifteen. knot
breeze, which held throughout the entire race.
half ahead of the Priscilla, which
was two minutes in advance Of the Mashower
The corrected time is: Puritan, 3:2300; Pris-
ella, 328:57; Mayflower 328:35, which gives the
Mayfower second place. This race, in the
opinion of yachting authorities, demonstrates
that in moderate weather the Priscilla and May
flower can outrun the Puritan, bnt that in a
twelve or thrteen-knot breeze there is nothing
afoat that can touch the Boston pride.

The Quarrel Between Senate ana House over
the Northern Pacific Forfeiture.
Special to the Indianaooiis journal.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Major Strait, of Min
nesota, who is member of the House commit
tee on public lands. was asked tonight what he
thought of the prospects, Of an agreement be-
tween the House and Senate on the bill to for
felt the entire land grant of the Northern Pacific
railroad west of Bismarck. Major Strait replied:
THE situation is Just this: The Senate has
passed bill which declares that the lands
granted to this corporation which have never
been earned shall revert to the United States.
The upper House recognizes the right of the
company to the lands which it has earned, but
which were earned after the date fixed upon for
the expiration of their charter. The House
commlttsS took up the Senate BILL struck out all
after the enacting clause. and inserted its own
bill, which proposes to forfeit every Of land
granted to the railroad which lies west of Bis
marck, d. T. In other words, the House says in
effect that because the road met with reverses
and failed to carry out the terms OF its charter
within the prescribed time (although it has sub
sequently done sol, therefore the land must re-
vert to the United States. The Senate will
never agree to this but think the House will
eventually conclude to pass the bill as it came
from the Senate"
