NEW TELEGRAPH SYSTEM.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-(Special--A
new system of telegraphy that may
relegate the Morse method of trans
mission to the scrap heap is said to
have been invented by Charles L.
Krum, Of the Western Cold Storage
company, and his son, Howard Krum,
of Chicago. That the instrument is
possessed of no mean commercial
value is evinced by the fact it is fin
anced by Joy Morton and certain
other capitalists. They are said to
have purchased an interest in the
patent rights for something like ST.
900 900.
Two patents on the contrivance
were perfected in Washington several
weeks ago and already the instru-
ments have been satisfactorily tested
in Chicago and several shops have
been established for their manufac-
ture.
Notwithstanding the bright pros
poets for the invention seen by its
hackers, neither Mr.. Krum nor Mr..
Morton will divulge it's intracacies or
make known just how their patent
excels the Morse instruments.
