wHERE THE BRITIsH BEAT Us.

England's Telegraph system knocks the
spots on Anything America Ever Con-
templated.
Washington. ID. c.. March "a
sketch showing the great development
of the telegraph in Great Britain since
lt passed under government control
I'm 1870 as result of GladstOne's ef-
forts, rs given a report TO the State De
partment from the United States Con-
sular Clerk Martin at Southampton
He shows that all of the separate COM
panies' lines We're acquired by the gov
ernment in 1870 for $11, 100000, and in
the year succeeding the government
built 10000 miles of wire TO connect the
various systems. As an Illustration of
the results of this policy. the reports
show that while in 1870 the total num-
ber of telegrams handled weekly by
all offices was estimated at from 12S.-
GOO 10 2l5.000; i'm 1898 the total exceed
ed 100000. and the number sent an
nually exceeded 100000 In 1869
the English press service was 22 O00,
GOO words, now it, amounts 10 100000,
600 words -thirty-SiN times more than
formerly. The present press rate is
absurdly small as compared with the
tariff prior TO 1870. and i'm place OF
sending % words per minute one way,
the wires now carry 500 words a min
ute and six messages are sent simulta-
neOusly ON one wire The service is
performed with perfect punctuality.
the average time of transmission of
message being about Z or minutes as
against TWO or three hours in 1870.
The rate is u cents for L words,
paid by stamps. II is not possible TO
calculate the cost to the treasury of
the telegraph service because of its
combination with the postal service;
but the British government does not
consider it as a means of revenue, but
rather as a means of helping trade and
I informing the public.
