THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
A New Company That Will Knock
Her Out.

CHICAGO. Feb. IA new telephone
company, with ambitious plans, capital
stock of SSo.OO0.oOo and two men of ma
tional celebrity among its directors,
applied for incorporation at the Office
of the Illinois secretary of state this
afternoon. The granting of the incor-
poratiou papers follows as matter of
course. The name chosen is the Har-
rson international Telephone COM
pany, aud the two conspicuous MEM
bers of the directory, are Maj. William
Warner and Richard e. kerens. War
ner is the ex-commander-in- chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
Kerens is the we'll known railway mag
nate, Missouri's member of the Repub-
lican national committee. The other
directors are Dr.. E. NJ. Harrison, Of
Fort Smith, the inventor of the
c eHifpnocs George CO. " R. '"E Peek. Of
Topeka, Kan. Charles NJ. Ferre, Albert
L. Stone, John II. Blake, Howard M.
Holden and Webster Davis. of Kansas
City. and D. j. Young. Charles M.
Ferre is president of the company,
Howard NJ. Holden vice president,
Albert l.. Stone, secretary, and promi-
nent Chicago man, name withheld, is

are in Chicago and have been quietly
holding meetings at the Grand Pacific
hotel. The Harrison patent was some
time ago involved in law suit with the
Bell Telephone company. The case
was holly contested before the supreme
court of the United States and was the
first in which the Bell company ever
suffered defeat in, it is claimed. The
30th of May. 1892. Mr.. Harrison secured
patents covering the United States. The
incorpOrators claim they can give
service for half the rates now charged.
President Ferre said: "We,will con-
struct circuit between New York,
Boston, Buffalo. Cleveland. Detroit, st.
Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pitts
burg. Philadelphia, Washington, Balti-
more, and from there back to New York.
This circuit will cost S10,000,000, but we
expect it to yield handsome dividends.
One of the most important features of
our new system is that we expect to do
entirely away with the telephone girl.
We do this by system of automatic
switch boards. In conjunction with the
telephone we will have new system of
telegraphy. by which messages are
written out and an exact fac smile is
transmitted to the receiver.

kINLEY bill diminished the liberty of
the citizen; Mr.. HARTER's bill will en-
large it.
The MCKINLEY bill, in the metal
schedule, furnishes precedent for Mr.
HARTER in the provision that. unless
the product of tin shall by July l, 1895,
exceed 5000 tons, then after that date
tin shall be free; meantime after July
|, of this year, it will pay duty of four
cents a pound.
But it is Dot probable that Mr.. HAIR
TIERS bill presents his views OF taxa
ton. He would doubtless favor tariff
law under which no trust could find
shelter. AS practical statesman he
would do what he can, not what he
would; but it is more than doubtful If
he can do what he wishes to in this case.
When the MCKINLEY bill was pending,
ANDERSON, of Kansas, a Republican,
offered as an amendment provlso con-
tanning the substance of Mr.. HARTER's
bill, and it WAS incontinently rejected.
That congress thought it sufficient to
only make mouths at trusts.

THE vEsUvIUs' GUNS.
No Vessel Afloat Could Withstand
Them,

PORT ROYAL, Feb. 1.-The expert
mental practicing with the pneumatic
guns of the Vesuvius was resumed this
morning and continued throughout the
day. Fourteen p1ojectiles were dis
charged. With the exception of two
final shots ranged for 1900 yards. short
er range lines were aimed at, six shots
at 1000 yards and the other six at 500
yards. The practically complete sue
sess which characterized yester-
days firing was maintained today.
The first shell, ranged for 500
yards and fired from the port gun,
fell over 500 yards short of the mark,
and later the same gun failed upon two
successive attempts to discharge its
projectiles. This has occurred once
before in the history of the
guns. No one of these seeming
failures are considered at all serious by
the naval officers. They are all attrib-
uted to lack of practical tests.
1t is scarcely probable that
the firing of loaded projectiIes
will begin before neXJ week.
One of the gentlemen who has witnessed
every test SO far. declared this afternoon
that he did not believe that there was
vessel ahoat that would have scarcely
any chance in an engagement with the
VeSuyiuS.

Over the Ottlook at the Home

PITTsBURG. Feb. ANDREW Carne-

of the directors of the Carnegie Steel
company, limited, visited Homestead TO-
day, and during their progress through
the various departments talked freely

both old men, who had returned, and
new ones. Mr.. Carnegie expressed sur
prise and qualification at what he
saw. The tonnage of the Home
stead works in January, it is said,
exceeded that of any previous month
in its history, and the outlook for the
future of the plant is considered very
bright Mr.. Carnegie also visited the
Braddock works. In reply to a question
as to the future prospects of the trade
in steel rails. Mr.. Carnegie answered.:
lit is bad, very bad. The steel and
iron industry has been wonderfully set
back. and at this time, am sorry TO say,
l cannot say much of the chances for
future prosperity in that direction"

JUsTIFIABLE INCONSISTENCY.

The Chicago Tribune takes Congress-
man HARTER to task for introducing his
bill providing that when the secretary
of the treasury is satisfied that any
article protected by the tariff is the
subject of a trust or combine, he shall,
after due warning and continued def
ance, put the article on the free list.
This, the Tribune thinks, is inconsist-
ent with Democratic opposition to the
provisions of the MCKINLEY bill au-
thorizing the president to make dutiable
imports from those countries which re-
fuse to negotiate treaties Of reciprocal
trade with this country.
The Tribune ignoreS-for ii must have
thought of 1.-THE radical difference be-
tween imposing tax and removing one.
1t is the difference between taking and
giving; between the use of force and
the removal of force. The procIama-

Their Release Only a Secondary

New York, Feb. Joseph p. Ryan,
corresponding secretary of the National
Federation of America. today makes a
statement denying that he said the
president of the National Federation of
America had called meeting of the
directors of the association to consider
the release of the political prisoners.
I'VE regard the question of amnesty
to political prisoners" said he, las Sec.
ondary and inopportune; that the pOllt-
ical liberty of four and half millions
was OF more Importance than the per-
sonal liberty Of ten or twelve men now
in prison: that the pressure upon the
Liberal ministers for their release was
unwise and impolitic, as it put weap
Oh in the hands of the Tories to
defeat the more important measure of
home rule, and that however deeply we
sympathized with the victims of packed
juries, or of men driven to crime by
English misgoyernment in Ireland, we
could not endanger that more important
measure by pushing the question of re
lease of prisoners 10 the front now,
knowing, as we do, that the home rule
bill, if passed, will bring general
amnesty for all political offenders"

MANY of the Eastern cities are man
ifesting feeling of jealousy toward

along the line of the Eastern press, is

sert that Chicago is letting out space

Senator Woods proposed a bill to re-

mile and freight rates 25 per cent from
figures prevailing at the close of last
year. He thinks this will leave the
roads all they deserve. The three-cents-

the public good service, and is fairly re-
munerative. The legislature better
