SYSTEM OF TELEGRAPHY.

London, Aug H-The postoffice officials
here are deeply interested in experiments
In teleefaphy being made by Prof Crehore
of Dartmouth College and T. Squires of
the military school at Fortress Monroe,
who claim that their device enables mes
sages to be transmitted with extraordi-
nary rapidity.
The inventors said to a representative
Of the Associated Press: "The expert
ments over short circuits in the United
States have been entirely satisfactory,
but we were unable to secure facilities
for long distance operations, and so we
came to England and asked the help of
the government We explained our
scheme to Superintendent Prero of the
telegraph lines department, and his in
terest was Immediately aroused. He
promptly placed the government plant at
our disposal, and directed his subordinates
to give US every possible aid in the trials
in making over the London and Birming-
ham line.
1t is understood that the tests made
have been entirely satisfactory. The in
yentors, however, are reticent. They de-
sire to avoid publicity until the practical
bLity of their scheme has been fully dem
onsrated. They seem to fear possible riv-
airy. It is claimed that their device will
transmit enough matter in an hour over
a single wire to fill single page of
newspaper.
An official of the British postoffice said
4 to a representative of the Associated
Press; There is no doubt the Americans
have a most valuable idea which may re-
Il suit in a greatly cheapenng telegraphing.
We are not yet quite satisfied of its prac-
tcabHty But the experiments of next
week Will settle the uncertain points. I
q am surprised that more assistance is not
81 given the inventors in the United States,
81 but ENGLAND seems more friendly to Amer
lean inventors than their own home"
Messrs Crehoe and Squres are thinking
"a Of sOing to France and Germany TO show
"a their invention to the telegraph officials
Of the governments of those countries.
Consul General Osborne says that the
II Inventory OF as ports fled in his office since
the new United States tariff became law
81 have decreased over so per cent. Only in
lhe case of diamonds and other jewels has
III uefe been an increase. A large business
f}s developed in jewelry which heretofore
ias mostly been smuggled into the United
81 States via Canada.
The consul general hears that a leading
W I'm Plate manufacturer is going to trans
ief DIS business TO the United States on ac-
count Of the tariff and that some wooden
Ill hsnu'aeturers are going to do the same
a.L lQr the same cause.
