THE EDISON SYSTEM OF INCANDESCENT ELECTRIC LIGHTING CHALLENGED AS DANGEROUS BY THE UNITED ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY AND THE UNITED STATES ILLUMINATING COM- PANY, WHO OFFER, IN AN OPEN LETTER, TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATORS FOR IN- VESTIGATION THEIR CLAIMS AS TO THE GREATER ECONOMY AND SAFETY TO THE CONSUMER OF THE WESTINGHOUSE CON- VERTER SYSTEM AS USED IN THIS CITY BY THEM. An open letter, of which the following is a copy, was sent on Friday, December 20, to the Edison Electric Mluminating Company by the United Electric Light and Power Company and the United States Iumin- ating Company: Orrick oy THE Uxirep ELrcrnic Lignt axD PoweR ComPany, 59 Lipenty Sr., New Yous, Dec. 20, 1889, To the President of the Edison Electric Iituminating Company of New York: Dear Sm: You have for some time, by sending your officers and agents to our customers with incorrect and misleading statements and spreading broadcast through your agents and paid agitators grossly incor rect and even absolutely false information, been at- tempting to prejudice the public ayainst the converter system of incandescent lighting as used by us in this city. You have even gone so far ss to attempt to in- fluence the Board of Health against us, We areop- owed to any warfare except that which is open and straightforward, aud therefore to settle the question to the satisfaction of the insurance companies, the users of incandescent lights and the bewildered public we make the following challenge: We challenge your company to s full and careful investigation of the relative economy and safety to the customer of the direct current three-wire system of incandescent lighting as used by your company and ‘the Westinghouse converter system used by us; the investigation to be conducted by board of seven ex- perts, three to be chosen by each side and the seventh by the six so chosen; one on each side to be familiar with insurance matters snd the others practical elec- tricians. w xpect to prove by such an investigation: Ast. That conductors carrying high-tension alter- nating currents have been and can be safely and suc- cessfully operated under ground. * 2d. That the Westinghouse converter system, as used by us, insures absolute safety to the user of in- candescent lights, as the converter or transformer placed on the premises of each of our customers serves 4s an impassable barrier against fire or accidents and reduces the current of the street mains toa harmless current, usually of 50 volts, or oue-fourth the inten- sity of the current introduced into the premises of the consumer under your system. 34. That the converter or transformer, accompsiah- ing as it does s complete separation of the currents in- the street from the wires on the premises of the con- sumer, is absolutely essential for safe incandescent lighting. 4th. That under our system the quantity of current used by the consumer can be messured by our meter with the greatest accuracy, and that the measurements on the meter can be read by every customer. With reward to the Edison system we expect to prove: Ast. That the Edison underground system is danger- ous in the extreme because of its leakage,which may at any time cause a fire ou the premises of the con- sumer, as shown by the large number of fires which have been caused by that system in this and other cities, 2d. That your business can only be rendered safe and the great fire risk incident to its use removed by the adoption of the converter or transformer system Ud. That your company has no meter which is re- Hable, and that as a result its bills rendered to its cus- tomers aro largely a mutter of guesswork. We will be glad to submit to the committee any other questions as to the relative merits of the two sys- tems which you would wish to have investiyated. In order that our position may net be misunderstood by the public we have sent copies of this letter to the daily papers for publication. We donot fear publicity ‘as we feel confident that the converter system, which has come into almost universal use in Europe, to the Virtual exclusion of the Edison direct-current system, will not suffer from a fair investigation by fair-minded men, Very respectfully yours, THE UNITED ELECTRIC LIGHT & POWER CO, THE UNITED STATES ILLUMINATING CO.

The attention of the public generally and especially that of business circles is called to the sworn tabular statement in another part of today’s paper, setting forth in detail the d. circulation of Tas Evextxo Sran during the Year 1889. This statement avd the additional facts bearing on the same subject which are given below make such a slowing as cannot, it is confidently believed, be matched by the record of any other newspaper in the world. They incontestibly establish the fact that Tur Stan is without exception the best local ale rtis- ing medium in the United Slates, or, in fact, in any country. ‘The points upon which this claim is based are these: 1. It has three times the circulation of any other paper in Washington. 2 Its circulation in Washington is double that Of ali the other daily papers published in the city added together, 3. It has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, in proportion to rearing and Purchasing population, than any other newspaper m the world, 4. It has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any teco-cent Qf ernoon paper AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. —_—_—_ PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. —_—>—_ St. Louis Gets in Her World’s Fair Bil HOUSE, The House met at 1 o'clock today!

THE WORLD’S FAIR CONTEST. How It Enters Into the Contest for Seats in the House, copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. Bat of this latter number a very large propor- tion is supplied reguiarly to permanent resi- dents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circulation may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation therefore gives Tae Stax a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fulness of its home | circulation, the extent to which it is relied | upon by members of the household, and par- ticularly by the purchasing portion of the com- munity are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel, This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious end enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find the largest returns from the money paid out for advertising, This is proven by the growth of Tur Sran's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any arti- cle is held by the public than a constantly increasing flemand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of adverse claims and pretentious com- The world’s fair contest issaid to be embar- rassing the majority of the Honse in their po- litical affairs, Most of the democrats whose seats are being contested are commutted to o1 or the other of the proposed sites for the fair and the members from the jocalities they favor | are hardly likely to vote to unseat them pend- ing the settlement of the question, Mr. Quay, whose interest in his party does not exhaust itself in the Senate, has conferred with the chairman of the clectious committee aud some other members on the subject and advised that the world’s fair matter be got out of the way as soon as possible and that the elections committee get its cases in shape and then issue a “whip” call to all the republican members, commanding their attendance at the time fixed for the consideration of election cases, Washington News and Gossip, Correctioy.—Through an omission in the text an error was printed in yesterday's Sram in regard to postage.

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1839 as compared with that occupied in 1833 is even more striking. The average daily space filled by advertisements in 1833 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns in the aggregate, being a total gain over the previous year of 1444 columns! And this, it must be remem- bered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ete., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included in its patron- age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high character of its circulation, Tux Sran’s advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add. finally, that every statement herein ‘Tue Derantuest or Justice was, by order of the Attorney General, closed today from o'clock until 1 on account of the funeral of Mz.
