The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company of New York has re-
Gently been organized for the purpose
Of establishing direct telephone COM
munication between the large cities of
the country. The first line has been
constructed between New York and
Philadelphia, the length Of the route
adopted being about 100 miles. Four
years ago similar attempt was made to
connect New York and Boston, but the
iron wire strung between the two CT
ties did not prove successful. The pres.
ent company has employed hard drawn
copper wires, and now has seventy-four
of them running the whole distance.
The line is entirely aerial, except where
waters of some width are crossed, in
which case submarine cables are EN-.
ployed. Between the two cities there
are six series of cables, the longest
stretches being under the Hudson aud
Delaware rivers. The cables terminate
at the foot of Vesey Street, in New
York, and near the foot of Walnut St.
in Philadelphia. The line will probabl,
be open for business within few week.
and it is expected it will prove grea

up the American press any longer as the

ing news that ought to be suppressed

London newspapers are far ahead of their

The latest instance Of this Is the report
