NEW LOXt; DISTANCE LINE.
A i the annual meeting of the Interstate Tele
phone and Telegraph company in Philadelphia
action was taken which will have quite an advan
tageous effect on the telephone service and when
consummated will result in a long distance line
t'roin one end of the state to the other. It was
decided at the' meeting to extend the lines of the
Interstate company west to Pittsburg and points
in Ohio and north to Binghamton, N. Y. The
announced object is to reduce long distance rate?
and to increase the number of persons reachable
from each of a number of individual exchanges
by several thousand. Several weeks ago there
was chartered a new telephone company, called
the Juniata and Susquehanna company, with the
avowed purpose of operat iii lines in various
counties in the central part of the state, among
them being Snyder, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Jun-
pany named above, and it will tonnect the lines
it has secured with the lines of the Interstate com
pan at the Susquehanua river, thus giving it a
line ( 'ear from Philadelphia to Bellefotite. The
Phrenix company, ofAltoona, already has a traf
fic arrangement with the Interstate company from
there to Johnstown and Pittsburg, in the western
part of the st.ite, and also with the Central Com
mercial company, of Bellefonte, and wherever
the latter company publicly gives notice that
it has been absorbed by the Susquehanna com
pany, then the line of the Interstate compans
will leach from Philadelphia clear to Allegheny
county.

, late this afternoon before an organisa
tion is effected, owlnc to the contest In
the bouse, The Republicans of both
houses held caucuses last nlRht, the'
followers of Quay having the largest
attendance at their meetings. The
election of William P. Snyder, of Ches
ter, (he choice of the CJuayites for
president of the senate, is assured.
While as to the house both sides are
Claiming victory. In the house caucus
It is claimed there were 100 of the lot
members present, while two absentees.
It was stated, favored the stalwart can
didate for speaker, William T. Mar
shall, of Allegheny, which would Rive
Marshall a majority of one vote. The
anti-Quayites, however, declared these
figures are misleading, and that the
best Marshall can do is 97 votes.
The significant event of the senate
caucus was the action of Senator Wash
burn, of Crawford county. Mr. Wash
burn was elected as a Populist two
years ago, and at the last session
voted for .lenks for senator. Last nighi
he attended the stalwart Republican
caucus, having announced his inten
tion to vote with that element.
Another significant event was a can
ens of 40 of the 19 house Democrats
when a resolution was adopted in favo;
of fusion with the anti-Quay Republi
cans on an equitable basis on the or-.
ganlsatlon,

law that demands such apportionment at
ter each decennial census.

"Experience with this strike has led me
