To the average telephone user a telophone system consists, so far as! he is interested, of the telephone in| he residence or office of the person at the swiltchboard in the central office. As a matter of fact, these thrce parts form but a small portion of the whole 1hat goes to make up a general, com- prehensive system such as is required to furnish service to over 102,000 tele- phones in the state of Connecticut. One of the great items in this sys- tem, the medium over which the ser- vice is given, is the outside plant, the wires over which the calls are passed. In this state this equipment is of three Iinds, wire in cables in underground conduit, wire in_cables run -on pole lines, and open wire on pols lines. This wire is divided into two main classes, that over which local service Is given —calls In the same exchange—and that over which toll line and long distance messages are passd—calls to other ex- changes In this and other states. The wire in the state of Connecticut, that is the system owned and operated by the Southern New England Tele- phone company, totals up to 254,378 miles. Of this, 233,708 miles are devot- ed to local and 20,670 to toll purposes. The number of miles of pole line car- sying the exchange wire is 4,382, and the number of miles carrying toll wire 1.209. There are 145 miles of under- Fround. Considering the fact that Connecti- cut is only 104 by 54 miles, it will be zeen how completely this network of wires links the entire state into one| community, so far as spoken commu- nication is concerned. If one were to stretch the wire in a single strand and | build the pole lines in one line, it would girdle the earth nearly eleven times, or, expressed in another way, woud extend from the earth to the moon and back again. | FACTS ABOUT THAMES RIVER DRAWBRIDGE Figures Reported by State Railread Commissioners for Year 1883, In connection with the proposition to have the state of Connectlout take over the Thames river drawbridge, and adapt it to highway purposes, the re- port of the state railroad commission< ers for the year 1889 is of interest The report presents the following fis. ures in regard to the big bridse, | which was then considered one of the wonders of the world: Depth of mean high water at —61 feet.

During the discussion of the Perry bill relative to mileage, which was de- feated by a yea and nay vote in the house Thursday, Representative Len- phiere und Representative Avery took part in the debate, from New London county, one in favor and the cther op- posed to the measure, but both finally Voted against the bill. It was in the same discussion that the hcase joker, Representative Kirchberger, got in his semi-occasiona] funnyism. ~He said it suggested by his constitu- ents that he go to the comptroller,Dan- ny Dunn, and demand mileags, In re- piy, Mr. Kirchberger said: “The comp- troller has been Dunned and Dunned and Dunned again and again, and thet he was Dunned and damned, but no | mileage came forth.” Representative Holdrges. first se- lectman of the town of Stonington, was before he committee on finance Thursday afternoon and spoke in favor | of the act which requires that all town offictals who furnish bonds must do so through a regular bonded company, to be approved by the selectmen, the town to pay the premium on the bonds. Judge Henney of Hartford appeared in opposition to the general bill exempt- ing the property of cemetery compan- ies, which was given hearing Wednes- day with special reference to the New London association. He was informed by the committee that they would probably report a special act with ref- erence to the New London matter and not the general bill. Before the committee on railreads | there was hearing Thursday afternoon on an amendment to the charter of the Attawaugan Street Railway company, to extend the tme of construction to June 1, 1915; also on the matter of extending the trolley system from Kill- inglv company, owned by the Rubber company, in 1llimantic, to Dayville, to connect with the railroad company. If the amendment to the charter of the Attawaugan -company is granted the latter matter will be withdrawn., The | first proposition means the crossing of one track at grade and the Ilatter three. The committee on roads, bridges and rivers in executive session decided to make unfavorable report on the bill offered by Senator McNeill of Bridge- port, to repeal the act appropriating $1,000,000 for the development of New London harbor as a state terminal for eamship lines. It is understood that Senator Peck, a member of the com- mittee, but who dia not attend the re- cent hearing, will present a minority report. All members of the committee excepting Senator Peck voted to make an unfavorable report on the repeal Dbill. It is probable that the report will reach the house on Tuesday or Wed- nesday and be tabled for calendar and printing. A STEERING COMMITTEE OF PRCGRESSIVE STRIPE.

The _choice yesterday of Senator Kern of Indiana as senate leader was followed today by the selection of a democratic organ- ization committee on which the leaders of the so-called progressive forces were, in complete control. The “steering committee” which is to map out a programme of reorganiza- tion to determine the question of con- trol was announced by Senator Kern as_follow: Senator Kern, chairman: Senators Martin, Clarke (Arkansas), Chamber- Owen, O'Gorman, Smith (Geor- T.ea and Thomas. r several hours they argued be- hind closed doors over the minor prob- lems connected with their control of | the smaller branch of congress. The routing the republicans from their | commodious committee rooms, the change of employes connected with the senate and selection of new senate rs had a more important part in the day's discussion than the broader of committee assignments and legislative policies. All questions of senate patronage were referred to a special committee consisting of Senators Overman,Shive- ly, Johnson, Hitchcock and Willlams. The choice of senate officers was put over until tomorrow, when the caucus is to be resumed. It is expected that Serator Bacon will be elected presi- dent pro tem. % 3 ‘While the democrats were in session, the republican steering committtee, consisting of Senators Lodge, Warren, son, Penrose, Smoot, LaFollette, | Brandegee.

Washington, March 6—Work was begun today on the alteration of the chamber of the house of representa- tives to accommodate the increased membership of 435 that will assemble for the extra session. A crew of car- penters invaded the chamber and car- ried out the rows of desks which have served the members for vears. Rows of benches will replace the desks, giv- ing an increased seating capacity and a larger spacé about the speaker's Gesk. Small movable deske will be placed in the chamber for the use of members in charge of bills on the floor. The installation of the benches will mark the end of & time-honored cus- tcm of the house. There will be no drawing for seats at the beginning of the extra session. Members will not be accorded fixed places in the cham- ber, but those attending will select their seats as they efiter the chamber each day. Bome leaders may be given fixed places.
