 London, Aug. 14.-The postof1ice off, cials here are deeply interested in experi- ments in telegraph made by Prof. Gre hore, of Dartmouth college, and the l Squires of the military school at For tress Monroe, who claim that their device l permits messages to be transmitted with extraordinary rapidity. The inventors said to a reporter of the Associated l Press:
 ''The experiments over short circuits in l the United States have been entirely sat- isfactory, but we were unable to secure facilities for long distance tests, so we came to England and asked for aid. We explained our scheme to Superintendent Prero of the telegraph lines department, an his interest was immediately aroused. He promptly placed the government at our disposal and directed his subordi- mates to give us every possible aid in making the trials over the London and Birmingham line.
 It is understood the tests made have been entirely satisfactory. The invent ors, however. are very reticent. They desire to avoid publicity until the success of their scheme has been fully demon- strated. They seem to fear possible ri- vals. It is claimed that their device will transmit enough in a single hour over a single wire to fill a page of newspaper.
 The English superintendent said to the Associated Press: "There is no doubt the Americans have valuable invention that will result In the cheapening of tele- graphing. We are not yet satisfied as to l it's practicabilty, but tests next week will remove all doubts. It seems encour- ager1ent enough was not given to the Americans in the United States and Eng land seems to be more friendly to Ameri- can investors than their own country.''
 The inventors will go to France and Germany to exhibit their invention when they leave here.
 Consul General Osborn says that since the putting into effect of the new tariff law the exports to the United States have decreased 30 per cent. The consul gen erals hears that leading tin plate manu- facture is going to transfer his business to the United States on account of the tariff and that some wooden manufae- turers are going to do the same and for the same cause.
 The Spectator during the course of a long and temperate article in regard to the provoca ton and unfrlendly tone of American politicians of both partiss to- wards England, says: We are obliged to write as we never dreamed of being forced to write about a country only less dear to us than our own. But we should fail in our public duty If we did not point out in the strongest manner the grave risks which are likely to ensue Unless the United States assumes very differ ent tone the gravest crisis is cer ain to ensue. Public opinion in England has greatly changed in the last few months, and even if Lord Salisbury is willing to
 
 tary sherman may indulge in, if America does not keep a wotch over her politicians they will hurry her Into conflict With this country whereof nobody is able to see the end.'
 Abu Hamid the new post on the Nile just captured by Anglo Egyptian forces. is a most important stragetic point. Sir Herbert Kitchen. the British commander, commands both ends of the railway which, starting from Wady Halfa, below the first cataract. is being pushed rapidly to its terminus at Abu Hamid, above the l difficult fourth cataract
 Gunboats are now building in England for transportation in sections to Abu Hanid, which will open the water to Khartoum. These gunboats are power- l full. They draw only two feet of water, 1 steam fourteen knots an hour and are to ] be arnved with four pounders and Maxim rapid fire guns. It is announced that the whole of the ffotilla will be ready to move from Abu Hamid early in 1898. It is positive, however, that Berber, the next important post, may be seized before long without waiting for the naval reinfoace- mantS.
 T1le Turkish newspa pers. evidently in- spired from the palace, are printing lurid pictures of the dissatisfaction in India, and said to be caused by British out ra geS, and in short there Is a reguiar propaganda upon the part of Turkey to create troubles for Great Britain in TIo- hammedan circles as an offset to Eng lands abetting ths Armenian agitation
 nhe officials of the India office admit that Afghan officials have been concerned in the recent risings in India and the, strong endorsements of British troops which are now being pushed to the front. show that the authorities are fully alive to the dangers existing. It is strongly hinted that the long threatened Russian intrigue has materlalized, but crcum- stances hardly warra nit this assumption.
