Interest,nC Patent peclslons.

Among decisions recently made by the
commissioner of patents are the following:
Where an application involved in inter
ference is division of one previously filed,
the date of filing of the original application
must DO considered in determining upon
which of the parties rests the burden ofproof.
After abandonment of an application by
operation OF law, it cannot be revived by the
filing of u subsequent application for the
same invention. The original application
may be used to show that the invention was
made at that date, but for no other purpose
All amendments to applications should bo
first considered by the primary examiner,
notwithstanding the case may have been on
appeal to the examiner in chief or to tho
commissioner in person.
Applicants will not be permitted simply
by q change in the form of their claims or in
the title of their inventions, to have amend
ments admitted and considered on the merits
after the subject matter has been rejected
either by the examiner or by the other tribu-
mails of the office.
mere statement that applicant made and
completed the invention before the date of
the issuance of the patent is insufficient under
rule 93.
The affidavit required by the second para
graph of rule 93 must set forth facts from
which the conclusion can be drawn that the
applicant completed his invention before the
patentee's application was filed.

TelephOne Case.

Appeals, in addition to that filed by A. G.
Bell, have been filed in the patent office by
other parties in interest against tho decision
of the examiner Of interferences in tho cele-
brated telephone case. That decision awarded
to Bell priority of invention of the art of
increasing and decreasing ho strength of
electric currents so as to produce electric
waves" aud against the decision on that
point Edison and Volker have appealed. The
same parties have also appealed against that
part of the decision awarding to Bell priority
of invention of the art of throwing electric
impulses upon the line through the medium
of a varying resistance corresponding to tho
vibrations of tho diaphragm.
Edison and Irwin have also appealed in
cease one" where Bell was awarded priority
of invention of the spring terminating one
elcctrode and pressing against the diaphragm
and remaining electrodo.
Edison has also appealed against the award
to McDonough of the telephone receiver, and
in cases -" and "L," where Bell received
the award of the polarized armature and the
diaphragm secured within resonant case.
Gray has united with Edison and Bell in
appealing against the award of the receiver to
McDonOugh
The argument in the case will begin Dec.
IL before the board of examiners in chief of

The Cabinet Meeting Yesterday.

The President reached the white house
yesterday afternoon at / o'clock, after an
absence of four weeks from this city. He
found upon his arrival large accumulation
of departmental business and several court
martial cases. The cabinet officers, with the
exception of Attorney General Brewster, as
sembled o while later, and u cabinet ses-
sion was held, which diverted the Presi-
dents attention from the accumulated
business and very little, if any, of any of the
pending matters were therefore considered.
The only callers who were able to see the OK
ecutive were Chief Justice Waite and Justice
Field. The mansion and grounds had been
thoroughly renovated in anticipation, by di-
rection of Col. Rockwell, and presented a
clean and fresh appearance. The President
looks and feels well after his vacation, and
will doubtless begin the preliminaries of his
annual message to congress at once.
All the members of the cabinet were present
at the meeting except the attorney general,
who has not yet returned to Washington.
The session lasted about an hour and half,
and was mainly devoted to routine business
before the different departments.
The President has taken up his residence
at the Soldiers home, and will remain there
until tho repairs to tho white house are en-
tirely completed.

British Treaty Rights and Chinese Immi-
grafton.

Tho question has arisen whether the act of
congress prohibiting the immigration of Chi
nese laborers applies only to the subjects of
China or whether it extends to persons of the
Chinese race who are tho subjects of other
nations. Tho importance of this question
lies in the fact that the island of Hong Kong,
by way of which nearly all our Chinese immi-
grafton came, is an English colony, having
been cedod to tho British government in Jan
uary, 1871. 1t is maintained by some that none
OF tho Chinese subjects of Great Britain on
act OF congress, but that tho legislation re-
stricting Immigration must bo deemed rs
only giving effect to tho supplementary
treaty with China. Under such q construc-
ton, Of course, only Chinese subjects could
be excluded, US the subjects OF no other nation
could bo affected by treaty with China.
This would leave tho port of Hong Kong
open as gateway through which could pour
tho entire population of China. Yet such n
construction has been placed upon tho law
by the United States circuit court of Massa-
ehusetts Judge Lowell presiding,
The same question has beon differently de-
cded by tho United States circuit court in
California, Judge Field presiding He main
tains that so far rs defining tho pr ohibited
class of Chinese is concerned the act of May O.,
1882, docs give effect to and is confined to the
terms of that treaty, But no also maintains
that the class of Chinese being thus ascor.
tanned the law extends to all persons of the
Chinese race of that class of whatsoever nation
they may be the subjects. IIo says that in
view of the treaty of 1865 the immigration
act would have been tho sublcct of jus

boon consented to by the supplementary
treaty. But be maintains that even IL

NEVER before was bad cause sustained by
such disgraceful tactics as those practiced in
the bourbon interest in Virginia this year.
The reason is that tho election there next
November may be tho decisive battle in poll
tics which is to decide forever the fate of the
bogus democracy. They cannot live without
a solid SOUTH They cannot hold the remain
ing southern states if Virginia is permanently
broken away from them. They have there
fore promised the readjusters to let the debt
settlement alone, hoping thereby to get back
some OF their votes, while the funders are
entirely satisfied to trust them for q repeal of
the Riddleberger law. The English holders of
the old bonds issued under fraudulent funding
acts have hopes of making about twelve
millions of dollars if they can reinstate the
bourbons. Does any sane man doubt that
they have promised good share of this to the
mercenary northern publishers who hayo
changed their papers from advocates of Ma
hone into most venomous, untruthful, and

been heard by court 1t would be one
to be addressed to the executive department.
This is because acts Of congress, equally with
treaties, are the supreme law Of tho land, and
on all subjects upon which congress can prop
orly legislato it is no moro restricted by an
existing treaty than IL is by any other exist
ing law. The law is held therefore by Judge
Field to be, not the mere execution of tho last
treaty with China, but ON exercise of right
full legislative power over tho subject of i'm
migration, aud applicable to all persons com
ing within its description, without regard to
tho nation to which they owo allegiance and
look for protection Tho California decision ro-
manded to tho immigrant ship in which ho
came the Chinese ndiipo of the British colony
of Hong Kong to be returned from whence
he came. The decision of tho supreme court
will doubtless be sought on the question. If
tho Massachusetts, decision shall be sustained
then the Chinese immigration from Hong
Kong will be resumed, and the law will bo
dead letter. Iftho California decision shall be
sustained a controversy may arise with Great
Britain, over the favored nation" clause of
our treaty with her, under which sho may
claim freedom of immigration for her sub
jects without regard to race. She has allowed
hor own colonies to exclude Chinese coming
to them from Hong Kong, and it would seem
unreasonable for her to demand that we
shO Ould open our doors for such of hor sub
jects rs she thus allows to be thrust away
from certain of her own doors. This is
not however, any part of the case in
court. Tho decision of Judge Field
would seem to be on solid ground, namely
that congress has full power over the question
Of immigration, and in exercising it may
change tho existing law of tho land"
whether the same bo based on an act of con-
grcss or ON treaties with foreign powers. The
courts cannot determine that treaty shall
not be abrogated, nor listen to any question
of tho consequences TO follow from such an
act. If we have any treaty provision with
Great Britain under which she can claim tho
right to force upon us tho Chinese laborcrs
! who may como hither from her colony of
Hong Kong, it is very clear that congress has
forbidden its enforcement. Thus far that
nation has made no complaint.

But the fact is that tho majority of the

that Mr.. Goode was not elected to the seat

This majority report was signed by the
