THE TELEGRAPH OUTDoNE.
The Transmission Of 8, 900 Words Minute
Said to be Possible.

The Transmission Of 3 1000 Words Minute
Said to be Possible.
A proposition is before the Senate in
the shape OF bill introduced by Sen.
ator Pettigrew to expend million
dollars in experimenting with a new
system of rapid telegraphy, wires for
the purpose to be constructed between
New York and Washington. It is
claimed that this system will supplant
the telephone, telegraph and mails as
q method of communication between
the great business centres and will
make possible the transmission OF
5000 words minute.
The new method is called the syn.
cronography," and employs the alter
mating current on copper wires. The
plans have been perfected and expert,
ments conducted by Albert Gushing
Crehore, assistant professor of phys
ics at yarmouth College, aud George
Owen Squire, first lieutenant OF artil
lery in the United States army, and
instructor of the department of elec-
tricity and mines in the United States
Artillery School. Postmaster Gener'
al Gary had a conference with Lieu
tenant Squire on Friday to ascertain
the merits of his system in order that
an Ineligible report might be made
on the bill.
Lieutenant Squire claims that under
his system two lines in continuous
operation would handle all the mail
business between New York and Chi
cago, which is now done by means OF
about 40. 000 letters day.
He believes the simultaneous publ
cation of the same newspaper in diff
ferent paris of the country is among
the possibilities. In an edition of
daily paper having twelve pages there
are less than $4,000 words. At the
rate of 5000 words a1ninute it would
only require about an hour to trans
nit the entire contenis of the paper
The cost OF maintenance of the pro
posed system, it isclaimed, will be lit
tie more than that of the telegraph
system now in use.

hush" That is what Gov. Tillman
has recently advised the United States
Senate to do.
Legislative committees are very
good things in their way, when they
are in earnest, but when men have
said ''the horse was sixteen feet high
they will scarcely turn round, eat
their words, and admit the horse was
only sixteen hands high. If the whis-
key dealers who have sold whiskey to
the State could be brought into court
ard forced 10 testify, some regulations
would be much better or worse off.
It is about time the people in the
State were taking matters in their own
hands, stop listening to twaddle and
nonsense and have general over
hauling of their affairs. Prejudice and
passion and resentments may be very
handy weapons for charlatans and
demagogues to boost themselves into
Office, but they are getting to be very
expensive Injuries Taxes which were
promised a few years ago to be re-
duced have been creased, and are
likely to be still further increased if
halt is not called, and the taxpayers
have to pay the piper while the dema-
goeues dance.
Public Offices were promised to be
reduced, but they have increased in
numbers and the taxpayers have to
pay the salaries while the increased
off iceholders dance. This, l say, is
getting to be a pretty expensive luxu
ry, especially when considered in the
light of the falling off of revenue
from the phosphate royalty, and other
sources which helped to meet public
expenditures.
II was promised that the dispensary
would pay half million year into
the State treasury, and ought to have
done so under honest, proper manage.

Private advices per steamer elena

Yokohama, state that the province Of
Kweissan, China, was the scene of an
attack upon the Christian missions
recently, and it is rumored that Rev.
Father Mazell, who was in charge of
the chapel at Loli, was murdered. 1t
is feared that other whites were mas.

the scene it was impossible to obtain

try. Mr.. McLsurin has been elected
thrice in his district.
One of his admirers yesterday had
this to say about him: ''He is very
broad man in politics. During a fac
tional fight there was no man that
fought harder, but as soon as the battle
ended he took the position that be was
a representative of the whole people,
and that he did not have the right to
hold a Democrat responsible or ques.
ton his right to vote against him in
the primary election. He was the
first Reform leader to come out open
ly and bodily in favor of peace and
unity. AT one time it seemed certain
that the leaders OF his own faction
would defeat him, but when they
would get man out and McLaurin
would goon the stump, the first speech
would dissipate all opposition. Mr..
McLaurin's friends, and many of his
enemies, politically, also consider
that he has done as much if not more
towards the breaking down of faction
al lines in this State as any other
man. In TACT, Mr.. McLaurin is not
thought Of as being member of either
faction"
On Thursday Mr.. McLaurin filed
with the governor his letter of accept
ance of the position. The letter is
considered timely and very much to
the point. MIR. McLaurin, as was ex-
pected. takes occasion to urge the
State executive committee to call a
primary election for the purpose of
naming a man for the general assem-.
bly, 10 elect for the full unexpired
term. Here is his letter, however, to
speak for itself:
