THJ3 OMAHA DAILY BEE : THIDAY. OCTOBEK iil , 185)S. ) i THE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY Relief Promised Now York from Etcewive Telephone Tolls. PLANS OF A COMPETING COMPANY Vrrnent Itnlcn Cut In Two anil .More to Follow Arc MKhtH I'mlcr "Wnter IloicliMimriKK In Other Ilrniiclicii. The top prices for telephone service In this country have prevailed in New York City since that great invention became a public necessity. Efforts to secure a reduction have been fruitless. Every legislature for ten years past has been bombarded with bills establishing maximum annual rentals at 190 nnd less , but each meaauro was effectually smothered. The long-looktd-for relief ap- jiears near nnd such a slashing of rates as Is promised by a competing company dazes the knickerbockers. The People's Tele phone company , recently Incorporated , la ubout lo enter the field , and as a bid for liubllc suport and equal rights with existing companies gives Us terms us follows : "Tho new company has already begun ac tive operations and will give Us subscribers a first-class modern telephone service In about a year from date of Incorporation. The MOW company will compete actively with the former monopoly and an Immediate cut will lie mndu in the unlimited scrvleo rate in Manhattan from $210 , the present price , to J100 , the new company's charge , which In cludes the right of free use of Its public pay utatlons for 100 calla pqr annum per sub- ecrlber. "The message service rates for business places will be cut from J90 for COO messages , old company's charge , to $40 for 400 roes- wages. For larger numbers of messages on the message schedule the rate goes an low a -1 cent per message. The residence mes- Hage rate for service on private wires will bo $30. To families living In apartment houses and flats an unlimited service con necting with all the other subscribers of the company will be given for ? 1 per month on group lines. "Tho unlimited service for business places In IJrooklyn will bo cut to $75 per year , the old company's rate being now $100. "In this connection note should be made of the fact that the advocates of lower telephone - phone rates have urged the legislature to fix the unlimited rule In New York City at $123 per year and $83 In Brooklyn. These rates the friends of the bill considered reasonable , but the old companies declared that they could not glvo the service at those charges. The new company , therefore , will meet the < lemnnd as to prlco made by advocates of the telephone bill , and will do 20 per cent better than this In giving an unlimited service with Us new and modern plant at the rate ot $100 per year , and pledging Its good faith by agreeing with Its subscribers that it will not Increase theao low rates for five years. " Arc Unlit Under Water. Some Interesting experiments have re cently been conducted at the New York navy yard with a view to ascertaining the practicability of using the arc light under water for the examination of a vessel's sides and Interior. Hitherto only the Incamlo cent light has been BO employed with success , nnd the difference in the brilliancy of these two types ot lamp In the open air Is so ob vious that no argument Is needed to show the suucrlorlty of the former over the lat ter for submarine work. Two students ol electrical engineering at the Sheffield Sci entific school , New Haven Irving E. Ilur- llck and Francis Q. Han , Jr. were cra- uloyed by the .United Slates government early last spring to comluct the electrical uarl of thoracic oMaTtng-'inlius In certain harbore oh the Maine Coast. At that time those VOUUR men began to consider the fea- nlbllltv of uslnc the arc light In the manncv and for the purpose here suggested. They roncclved a scheme for carrying the Idea Into execution , and then communicated wltli the Now department In regard to it. Ow ing to the outbreak of the war nothing wni ilono about the matter at first , but Messrs liurdlck and Hall were finally Instructed tc co ahead tnJ to make experiments foi Uncle Sam. They did so at the New Yorl vard and their efforts have been crownci with gratifying success. The Incandescent lamt ) can bo immersed Ir water safely because the fllament is enclosed In an airtight globe. The glowing thread 01 carbon orotrctcd from contact with n llqulc that would Instantly reduce Its temperature and quench Us light continues to shine undci \vater. ' But the arc light , as usually made Is not so shielded. The carbon pencils tha compose It are generally so placed that upor Immersion the water would Instantly touct and cool them. Moreover when the carbons bens were wet the current would How of into the water and not Jump the narrow gag nt which the "arc" Is formed. So that an other obstacle to the operation of the lam ] would bo afforded. The first great step toward the use of thl ; powerful Illuminating agent under water then , was to put It Into an airtight globe If one-will observe the arc lights now com monly employed In streets and Inrge build Ings he will discover that two styles are n favor. One has but a si iKlo globe and tha is open nt both bottom and top. That 1 the old kind. The other has two globes , th outer ono open and the Inner one closed TbU Is a more modern form of arc Ugh and IR not absolutely airtight , but It Is dc signed to prevent any great amount of al reaching the carbons. Thus combustlor which destroys them , Is reduced to a lo\ \ minimum and the life of the carbon Is pro longed. This Is the reason for enclosing th light. light.What What Messrs. Utmlick and Hall have don la to take such a lamp and give U an outc glebe that Is absolutely waterproof. It ! not so easy to do thU with mi arc light ' with the Incandescent lamp , because It necessary to open the apparatus at tiroes I icnew the carbons , and even after fresh ont ure put In an automatic feeding apparati mutt be employed to keep pushing the pos Itlvo pencil down toward the negative c fast as the tip of the former wears awa ; No such renewal or readjustment U neede with an Incandescent lamp. In the old ope arc light the carbons are renewed eve' right or ten hours and In the enclosed ai they last for about 100 or ISO hours. * j The feeding mechanism which In ordinal arc lamps U often exposed to the air U I the Hurdlck and Hall device placed In watertight cylinder , forming the upper pa of the lamp. Out of the top ot the cyllnde Vasslug through a carefully packed ape turo , Istuo two well Insulated wires that a bound together Into a cable. These lei the current In and out again and the tv strands are Intended to bo connected wl any suitable electric circuit. Most of the tests made at the New Yoi yard vsoro at a depth of twenty-five fe < Hut tha limp can bo made to stand tl pressures that would b encountered at ai depth at which divers ever go. The great part of the work , done by men who examli and repair wrecks , In done at depths not c cooJIng twenty-flvo or thirty feet. Hut tl lamp can bo made proof against the squce ot the water 200 feet below the surface. VHP of Ilertilnii Tvlt-Krnuli- . A very Interesting application ot tele raphy , as carried out by means of Hertz ! waves , has lately been tried In Dublin. Du Ing the races of the Koyal Alfred Yacht cl the proprietors ot the Dublin Dally Uxprc were able to receive their dispatches means of this system. Mr. Marconi , w conducted this operation , followed the n Inn yachts In a tugboat , in the cabin Which was the necessary npi > aratui used transmitting the messages. An obsorfer stationed on the bridge signaled the prog ress of the race , und Mr. Marconi train- milled the report to land. The inrs.'aKes were recelvcil by a subordinate at Kingston , a distance of some live or ten miles from tbo point of transmission , nnd from there were telephoned to the journal. All the messages were received In the space of a few minutes after they were ent and were published In subsequent Issues of the paper. The trans mission was accomplished wlthoul a slnRle hitch , and none of the message required re pealing , the apparatus working satisfactorily throughout. I'loctrlc Arc IIH n Telephone. Some curious experiments were recently made which showed that the electric arc Is capable of acting cither as a telephone transmitter or receiver. The arrangement of the apparatus Is described as follows : The primary of a small step-up transformer was connected up In the circuit of the elec tric arc ; a microphone and battery were put lu circuit with the secondary of the trans former. When the end of a sounding tunIng - Ing fork was placed In contact with the microphone iho same note was heard dis tinctly at the electric arc. In order to show that the electric arc Is capable of acting as a telephonic transmitter the microphone In the above described arrangement Is replaced by a telephone , and the sound waves ara conccntraled on the arc by a funnel. Speech , singing , whistling thus dfrcctcd on the arc arc heard distinctly nt the telephone. The explanation of the phenomena Is plain when It la remembered that the resistance of the arc varies with Iho density of gases Ihrough which Ihe current passes ; the variations of the resistance will produce corresponding variations It the current which , by lateral Induction In the transformer , are trans mitted In an Intensified form to the tele phone. FIRST DAY OF REGISTRATION About One-Fifth or the Minimi Vote of the City AVn Mnteil YcNtcrdny. The first day's registration has been com pleted nnd , based on the reports from u number of warns at 7 o'clock last evening. It Is estimated that about 20 per cent of the city's normal vote baa been properly regis tered. Some preclnctu show as high as 23 per cent nnd others as low as Ifi per cent. ThU table will give some notion of the situation , the fifteen precincts having been picked at random : First Reglstrn- day , Ward. Preclncl. tlon.

The elec tion officers say they know of a number who will appear later , but there wuro no additions yesterday to bear out rho state ment that the vote of the city would be largely Increased this year. The registrars have been supplied with postal cards on which t'o notify City Clerk Hlgby at the close of each day's work the number of names recorded and the exact result of yesterday's registration will be known today. The customary number of complaints by the registration boards were entered early In the dtiy. For tbo first few hours after the booths were opened City Clerk Hlgby'c telephone played a continuous performance , with tbo registrars In the principal roles , until Mr. Hlgby called a halt and told them to file their complaints with the Hoard ol Public Works , ac his duties ceased when be furnished the proper books nnd writing ma terials. The main objections filed by the registra tion officers were on account of theib - sencc of coal from t'ho booths and the little stoves set up were useless without thli riecessary adjunct. The weather was raw and cold and the election booths were noi constructed for early winter clerical work Then some of the windows were out' and tin northwest wind took too many liberties wit ) the persons of the officers , furnishing aiv other causa for complaint. These annoy' ances. however , were remedied before the close of the day. The democratic county committee gave 1 out that some ot the officers retimed t < I work , owing to the absence of coal , but the ; refused to specify In what jirccincta thesi delinquencies occurred. There were semi vacancies on t'ho boards at the start , but : majority ot the members being present thi work went or. and the vacancies were lllle < later. The cause of the democratic com plaint may be clue to the Inability of tin representative of the democratic count ; commllteo to secure some one on the board to make a copy of the registrations fo the use of that commltlee. Each preclnc wns vlslt'ed nnd the officers were furnlehci with blanks upon which to copy the name and a stamped envelope In which Ihe lis should be relurncd lo the office of the'count ; commttter. Some of the officers volunteer * to do the work , which was accompanied b : nothing In the shape of emoluments , but fov ? ot thorn refused In face of the mvnnc 1 Ing language of the solicitor. The republican county committee sent ou men yesterday to look after the regUtra tlon of voters nnd to poll Ihe wards , bn Iho democrats will do nothing with the rcg Istratlon until they secure a copy of ycstei day's reglalrallon. They will Ihen lee I for fraudulent registrations and prepare t 1 . hustle out their voters on the next two day/ / ' ' The next day for reglatrallon will be o 1 Friday of next veok und the last day wi 1 he on Saturday , November 5. I Itnlly In the Setcnth Wnril. i A rally of Seventh ward republicans wn i held last evening at 1213 South "Twenty ninth avenue. The object of the gatherln i was to Introduce to the voters the varloi . candidates for state and county offices. Th t I were called before the meeting In turn , an i each said a few words urging all repul llcuns to do their duty by the party on clec : tlon day. State Senator Noycs In the- fours i of his remarks said : ' ' My Interest In republicanism does ni i ' grow less as the years go by.

Ono ballot only was necessary In each Instance to express n choice. The men chosen for crand master and deputy grand master were J. K. Arnold of Schuyler for the first position , nnd 0. 0. Snyder of O'Neill for the second. Grand Master Charles Patterson called the meeting to order at 10 o'clock with art the representatives la Ihclr places prepared for business. A prayer was offered by- Chaplain I' . C. Johnson nnd then the report of the finance committee wns presented for consideration and acceptance. Nearly two hours were devoted to reading the various reports , chiefly those of the commit tee on appeals , the charter committee and the finance commlUecs from Iho different state lodges. Then a motion wns made and carried to proceed to elect officers , nnd the first two ballots resulted In Ihe election of Mr. Arnold und Mr. Snyder. A third ballot wus In progress nt the tlmo the meeting adjourned and the result w-as not announced until the afternoon session met ) nt 1:30 : o'clock. It was the election of the grand warden , the present chaplain , P. C. Johnson being the choice for NIC position. Immediately the noon recess endid the members of the grand lodge trooped back to their ecata to renew the election con tests. The presiding officer , Charles Patter- son. rapped for order , the chaplain offered a brief prayer , the roll was called and every body settled down to the expcctedly diffi cult task of electing a secretary. Contrary to expectations , ono ballot sufficed to give J. P. Oago of Fremont the necessary ma jority to re-elect him for another yeur. Then came rho ballot for grand treasurer and this office was secured by an Omaha man , F. P. Brynnt. J. W. Vosburg of Milford - ford was elected grand conductor ; another Omaha man , P. Hanson , was given the po sition of grand guardian , C. A. Itaudall of Newman Grove was chosen grand marshal and the last election ot the afternoon was for grand herald , S. W.

Loomls of Fremont. After the election the members had to dc the less Interesting task of listening to Hit reading of a number of reports. These wore considered and accepted with few com- mcnls and wilhout opposition. Then came the selection of a place t hold the nexl grand ledge meeting and finally the motion to adjourn. Hastings wns the town de cided upon , the date being the third Wednes day In Oclober , In 1898 , and the session adjourned until that time. This grand ledge meeting has been a no table ono for several reasons , chiefly be cause th"re has been less general business to transact than ever before nnd because II is iho largest meeting numerically ever held and because of the large number of candi dates who took the degree. More than 300 underwent the ordeal of inltlallon and the dally attendance 'ias averaged about 500 The highest vote counted wns a lltllo more Ihnn 400. The Installation of the new offi cers was performed by Grand Master Charles Patterson. IleliekuhM * Struggle for Secretary.

FORCING ATTENTION TO LAW Collector Iloutz IN Coining Down on People Who Ignore tlip Ilevc- unc Stniun IUMtilrcnicntN. One of Omaha's ministers was rudely re minded yesterday that when ho gave a marriage certificate to the contracting parties the document must bear a 10-cent revenue stamp or It would not be legal. The minister replied that the government had lost something over $1 on his work In this line alone , but was promptly Informed that t'ho government never lost anything , and the pastor In question is now engaged In figuring up the number ot certificates ho has issued since the law went Into ef fect. The officers at the local revenue of fice say the decision ou this particular point was one of the first rendered and think all the ministers ought to be fully Informed of It by this time. Collector Houtz has decided that the public has had sufficient tlmo to become acquainted with the provisions nt the new revenue law , and will I cease parleying with those who evade tha I law through alleged Ignorance of Its require ments ) . Ho has Issued summonses to some . ot the cattle commission men In South i Omaha to bring their accounts and books to the ofllco that the amount they owe the government on past ) transactions may bo footed up and collected. In these cases the tax Is due on the memorandum of sales Is sued by the commission men and which la I accepted by the banks In llou of checks. I Some of the firms there have paid the tax I without question , but others have shown a disposition to resist. These latter are the men the officers arc after and Collector Houtz will bo assisted In the work by Col onel Wheclock , the special revenue agenl for this district. To Impress the omnlpotency of the la\s upon some dealers , n few arrests have bwr made by the revenue officers of parties whc have been selling gum from other thar tha orlelnal package. Stamps arc placed upon the original package and thi gum cannot be removed therefrom except a time ot sale. n nil Holloed.

( Special ) Hcrmoa Is the scene of n little tovo tragedy that furnishes the material ( or a genulno novel. Down on a ranch e.i.it of that little J town lived a youtiR rancher named Albert Martin. When the call came for volunteers ho was one of the llrst to respond nnd he was soon at the front fighting at El Caney After the battle ho chanced to meet Hamonn Perez , the beautiful daughter of an oinccr ol Oarcla's command. Young Martin , accord ing to his own story , made ardent lovu to the girl as well as his Imperfect knowledge of the Spanish and her utter Ignorance of the English language would penult. Ho professed to have meant nothing serious , however , and supposed that the girl also understood It was merely a harmless flirta tion. It seems that he was mistaken. Soon afterward he was attacked by fever and sent home on a sick furlough. Just before leaving for the frnnt he had asked a nice American woman to become his wlfo and It was arranged that they should bo married before ho returned to his regi ment. But In the meantime it appears that his Cuban sweetheart had been Investigating the cause of his disappearance. When she learned that he had gone home to South Dakota 111 she resolved to follow him and nurse him back to life. So she dressed her self In her brother's clothes , crossed to Jamaica and there , finding her money ex hausted , she stowed herself away in a fruit schooner bound for Now Orleans. The cap tain treated her with much consideration when ho learned her destination and tried to persuade her to return to her father In Cuba. She rejected his advice and from New Orleans tramped and beat her way on freight trains up the Mississippi and Mis souri rivers and across South Dakota to Her- mosa. When she reached the little town she soon learned of her lover's expected marriage with another and the Cuban girl Is now a raving maniac. At the same time the American girl heard of her lover's unfaith fulness nnd threw him over. That night young Martin rode Into Hermosa , drank heavily until morning and then started for homo. A few hours later his body was found floating In the Cheyenno. No one knows whether ho drowned himself purposely or blundered Into deep water at a ford. ISXCUItSIOM CO.MIXO rilOJI DAKOTA.

TELLER IS DISAPPOINTED Snyn If They Cnnnot Ilnvc Silver 13m- lilcm They Will Vote the Funlon Ticket Anywny. DENVER , Oct. 20. Regarding the de cision of the supreme court awarding the name and emblem ot the silver republican party to the Uroad , or anti-Teller faction of that party , Senator Teller said : "I ara dlsappolntpd at the ruling of the court , which I consider Indefensible. U makes the emblem an agency of fraud on the voter instead of a protection , as Intended by the statute. The silver republicans will vote the fusion ticket , which will bo filed by petition. It will take more than a decision of a bare majority of the court to discourage the true friends of cllvor. Our enemies may have the emblem , but we will have the votes , and the fusion ticket will be elected by a great majority. " ' The committee to fill vacancies on the ' silver republican ticket will meet Friday night , and It is understood that a fusion will be effected with the republicans , Henry R. Wolcott , brother of Senator Wolcott , being mode the candidate of both parties for governor. I InilliiiiH Come In to Surrender. I MINNEAPOLIS. Minn. . Oct. 20.
