Wheatstone in England, and the electro-magne;
te.egraphs and the Morse plan in this country
were pointed out Particular notice was taken
OF the early origin Of the electro magnet tele-
graph and Mr.. Gray asserted that the credit
should be given TO Prof. Henry, as he not only
made the first application Of electro-magnet TO
this purpose, but supplied by his researches
the knowledge on which Morses system was
made to work.
From the first successful introduction by
various instrumental Developments we're
sketched, notice being taken of the inventions
IN automatic Transmission. Reference was
made to the chemical recording and copying
or facsimile telegraphs used for public private
s ana ior steek exchange purposes, the dial or
quadruplex working OF telegraph lines, the
multiple distributing and harmonic telegraphs
and the special problems involved in the
electrical working of submarine cables.
The problem Of the Transmission of speech
and OF musical sound was then described and
the various attempts at solution of it criti-
cised: The Importance and distinctive charsc-
ter OF Bell 9 method was pointed out and the
difference between this method and that of
Reis, which has received 90 much attention in
All discussions as to priority of inventions re-
ferred to. The various methods, particularly
that OF Dolbear, for attaining the same result
was described. The various devices which
have since been invented as telephone trans
mitters we're then described and their similar
ity IN principle 70 the device proposed by Bell
and Elisha Gray referred to. In conclusion
some reference was made to the experiments
OF Bell, Fainter and others on the application
OF radiant energy to telephony.
The closing address of the day was by Col r.
A. Seely of Pennsylvania, principal examiner
Of the patent Office, whose subject was Inter
national Protection Of Industrial Property"
COL. sEELY's ADDRESS.
Tho difficulty in securing international pro-
lection for inventions. Col. Seely said. exists
by reason Of systems of law in mary countries

many inventors Of telegrapas, some Of them Of
posals came before the science and the world
seemed to be ripe for the adoption Of their In
ventions. Mr.. Gray pointed out that the
credit Of inventing the telegraph cannot prop
erly be given TO any one man; that great many
mon have added something toward and that
the subject grew by much contributions to its
present huge proportions.
Tho various contributions to the subject
which have been made dnee 1880, including the
Development Of practical telegrsphy in Europe
and America, we're more particularly described

Dunn Out Of the Kace-The Field Against
Call.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, April 9.-As predicted
last night. Dnnn Is out Of the race for the
United States senatorship. The FIoridian this
morning publishes a long communication from
State Senator Roger, who is also president Of
the state alliance, in which he says that he cam
not support eithor candidate, Dunn or Call.
In its editorial column the FlOrididn advo-
Gates the election OF a straight-out alliance man
as United States Senator.
Quinn is the owner of the Florididn. having
advanced the money necessary to change it
from weekly to daily paper.
This arrays .'ths field" against Call and the
candidate of the opposition is thus far an I'M
known quantity. 1t will be impossible to con-
centrate the alliance members upon any
one candidate, although they have a
majority of the legislature. The democratic
joint caucus will probably be called before
Saturday night. and Calls friends profess to be
able to carry it fer their man.

 The Different Societies Unite and Apply for Incorporation-AB Build. ing To He Erected.
 The local charitable organization known as the City Mission, which has its head. quarters at English hall, has been incorpo- rated under the name of the City Mission ary association, and filed application for incorporation in the secretary of states office in Hartford. The change is made chiefly for strengthening the present work. The articles of incorporation when filed included 125 signers. The purpose is to enlarge the membership to 500 and perhaps 1000 membership may be secured upon presentation of names by any of the pres ent members to the board of directors, who hold their first meeting this week on Wednesday. The following officers have been chosen by the association:
 President Rev. Watson L. Phillips, D. D.; vice president Rev. E. NJ. Poteat; secretary, Walter of of directors, Hiram Camp, Professor | H. 4. New New. ton, John N. Peck, I. H. Damn, A. G. Newton, E. B. Bowdisch, 4. E. Rowland, H; F. shares, J; E. James D. whitmore, J. Y. McDermott, D. s. Thomas and Andrew Moorhouse.
 The association for the present will con- tinue in its present quarters.
 The association will eventually occupy quarters in the building for Christian Workers when it is erected. A large amount of money has already been raised for the purpose and work on the building is expected to be commenced within 8 year.
 The work is to be entirely undenomina- tional as heretofore and among the sign CTS of the articles of incorporation are members of twenty-six different churches in this city, including all the five evan gelical denominations. There are twenty two ministers among the signers, of whom sixteen are pastors of churches in the city. Everywhere the project has been cordially received and a disposition mani Tested to help on the work.

Direct Beats Hal Pointer fin Three
 Straight Heats-Best Time 2:OS.
 COLUMBIA, Tenn, Oct. 26.-The great match race between Direct and Hal Point CT attracted an immense crowd to Colum- bia to-day. The race was for purse of $3,000 and an additional S1,000 if the worlds record was broken. Direct won in three straighs heats. Geers urged Pointer to his utmost and once the horse went under the wire off his feet. The heats were almost identical. The two would get off together at a terrific pace to the stretch. Then Geers would brace himself for the final effort and in the stretch would lap tho leader, even coming to Di- rect's throat latch. Then Star would let the whip fall and with a mighty burst the Californian would goe under the wire a winner of the heat. The time 2:09, POS, 2:084 was phenomenal for a new track, though it is kite-shaped and down hill all the away.
