THE CAUSE OF 1T.
The Brush Electric Light Company
Irresponsible for the Dimcuity IN
Telephone Communication.

|
Any one who recently had occasion tc
use the telephone at night, has doubtless
observed the rumbling, grinding noise on
the wires and realized the consequent
great difficulty of distinct communication
with others, The cause of the difficulty
was explained by Manager Griffith, of
the Tr-clty Exchange, this morning, in
response to solicitation on the part of an
Argus reporter, OF Information pertains
ing thereto. Said Mr. Griffith:
The trouble is due to the close prox>
unity of the Brush company's electric
light wires and the telephone wires, the
result being that the telephone wires get
the induction from the strong current Of
the light wires, which is very powerful
and where the light and telephone wires
are on the same street and parallel the
current of the former leaks and is induct
ed by the telephone. and the heavy,
rumblng, buzzing sound which greets
the ear of the speaker at the phone, is
the result.
When questioned rs to the preventative
for thus great inconvenience. Manager
Griffith replied:
The only remedy is for the Brush
company to run both negative and a
positive current side by side on the same
pole, where the light wires parallel the
effects, and doing away with the present
difficulty"
Il hope before long to have this diff
Guilty remedied, continued Mr.. Griffith,
"and in the future all electric light wires
will be put up in this manner. In fact
we shall insist upon it that they shall

THE telegraph at last brings us the
official intelligence that the government
of China has failed to ratify the treaty
negotiated by Secretary Bayard. Thus
this treaty, which was held up by the
Republicans as complete surrender Of
the American, and more particularly the
Pacific Coast, position on the matter, is
so distasteful to the Chinese Emperor
that he prefers. by rejecting it outright,
to accept the complete exclusion OF his
subjects from the United States. This
action OF his Celestial Majesty is strik-
ing commentary on the absurdity OF the
Republican vociferation against the ad-
ministration. The treaty having beer
rejected by China, there is no longer any
doubt but that we are at last about tc
enjoy the benefits of an absolute exclu
sion from this country OF the Coolie ele
ment. As the Exclusio bill was intro.
duced by Hon. VIM. L. Scott, who is close
| in the councils of the President, there can
be no earthly doubt OF Mr.. Cleveland's
signing it. Thus the people of Califor
MIA will be indebted TO Democratic
President and Congress for an ineffablt
boon. The suggestion is obvious tina
the masses should entrust it's execution
to the same friendly custody that con
ceived this genuine American policy
