Chicago, June 5. The Tribune says
that the bankers Of Chicago are about
to take action on 4 plan for the adj
mission Of the United States govern
ment as member Of the Chicago
clearing house.
It is almost certain that an arrange
ment will be concluded similar to the
dead between Secretary of the Treas
ury John sherman and the associated
banks Of New York in 1878, whereby
the subueasury In New York became
a kind Of business partner Of the great
banks In that city.
One Of the results of the govern
menfs becoming a member of the Chi
cago clearing house would be that
hereafter the banks in the west IN

counts with the government would buy

between Ferryboats.
T. Comerford Martin, editor Of the
Electrical World and Engineer, was
seen recently with reference to the
trials of the Collins wireless telephone
en- north river ferryboats the other aft
ernoon, says the New York Times.
II talked with ease at a distance
which we estimated ait from 500 to 700
feet. said Mr.. Martin, so that the sue
cess of the wireless telephone for that
distance is not a matter Of opinion, but
Of fact The sound came to me much
more clearly than over an ordinary
land wire and was not confused by the
ordinary wire noises.
"Of course the apparatus used was
of the most primitive kind, and NUM-
sbers OF changes will suggest themselves
as the various experiments are made.
one occurred to me while we were at It
on the river. Mr.. Collins entire rig
cling consisted OF q wire going to the
masthead and one going to q submerg-
ed copper plate used for what would
correspond to the ground circuit con-
nection ia an ordinary phone, these
two being attached to ordinary tele-
phone instruments.
.We had great deal Of trouble be-
cause various Of the submerged plates
were wrenehed OF ii the wash Of the
boat or broken through contact with

that 1t would be perfectly possible TO
attach this ground wire to the coils
