An Electrical Convention

At the last meeting of the Connell of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers the action of the preceding meeting was reviewed, and instead of a committee of five, the President was directed to appoint a committee of fifteen to form a plan of organization for an international electrical convention to be held in this city coincident with the World's Fair of 1892. Secretary R. W. Pope was instructed to inform President Mascart of the electrical conference at Paris of this action, and to suggest that the unfinished work of the present conference be taken up at the proposed conference of 1892.

The following were elected delegates to represent the institute at the Paris conference now in session: Thomas A. Edison, E. Wilbur Rice, Jr., Carl Hering, Joseph Wetzler, and Nikola Tesla. All of them are now in France or on the way there. President Elihu Thompson will in a few days announce his appointments on the committee of fifteen and the work of organization will then be taken up. An invitation will be extended to all the electrical organizations of the country to participate in the proposed international conference.
