| His plan, therefore, was to defeat the
| movement in behalf of Mcdonald. To
accomplish this he sent Hendricks dis
patch about in these words: II have just
presided over one of the largest and most
| enthusiastic meetings ever held in this
country in your interest. Your friends
will stand by you to the last, and are con-
fdsnt that if you will stick you
will be the nominee" This dispatch
reached Hendricks not very long before
Ingalls, was ushered into his presence, and
| under the influence of the advice of Eng
lish he refused to withdraw. Senator
Voorhees, related this as in measure ex-
susing Hendricks for what has universally
been pronounced his pigheadedness in
1880. The senator, in conclusion, main
tanned that no unfriendly feeling exists
between Mcdonald and Hendricks. He
said that Hendricks had finally abandoned
all political ambition, and would heartily
support Mcdonald for the presidential
nomination. In the light of more recent
on the presidential track, the senator has
probably now changed his mind,

THE CREEK INDIAN TROUBLES.

addressed a letter to Senator Coke, of
Texas, requesting him to act with Generals
Fisk and Whittlesey, chairman and secre-
tary respectively of the board of Indian
commissioners, in bringing about settle
ment of the existing difficulties between
the opposing factions in the Greek Indian

the interior department for aid in securing

Of the department to pay expenses, the

EDIsoN's PATENT.
The board of commissioners in the
patent Office rendered a decision to-day
reversing former decision of the ex-
aminer of iaterferences and awarding the
! priority of invention to Thomas A. Edison
for the incandescent conductor for the
electric lamp formed of carbonized paper
VIM. E. Sawyer and Albon Mari contested
Edison's claim to the patent before the ex-
aminer of interference, and a decision
was rendered in their favor January
2, 1882. Subsequently the case was
reopened for admission of new evidence,
and June 3, 1888, the examiner of inter
ferences again decided in favor of Sawyer
& Man. From this decision Edison took
an appeal to the examiners in chief with
the result above stated. The examiners
in chief find there is not sufficient evi-
dence to show that Sawyer & Man ever
conceived reducing to successful practice
the paper carbon pure and simple set
forth and claimed by Edison made subject
to this interference
A QUARANTINE QUESTION SETTLED.
By chapter &c, laws of 1873, the entry of
vessels from infected ports was forbidden
or restrained, and the surgeon general of
marine hospital service was authorized
under the direction of the secretary to
mako regulations therefor. At that time
the Russian plague was imminent. Regu-
lations were made which directed quaran-
tine isolation of infectious freight, disin-
fection, ventilation and even the burning
thereof if necessary. By an act of 1879
the national board of health was substi-
tuted for the surgeon general of the marine
hospital service, and the act of 1878, 80
far as it gave power to that
officer was repealed, and so those regula-
tions became naught. But the act of 1879,
by its own terms, was limited in existence
to four years, which term expired in June,
this year. The query in the secretary's
mind was did the expiration of the act of
1879 revive the act of 1878. After careful
consideration of the whole matter, the sec
retarY holds that the repeal of the act of
1878 by the act of 1879 was but "a limited
repeal, and that the expiration of the act
of 1879 by its own terms has revived the
act of 1878. He has therefore determined
that the surgeon general of the marine hos
p1tal service may again Issue the regula-
tions in question, and that customs officers
shall be Instituted to carry them out with
due discretion and caution in use of meas
ures of severity.
