JUDGE GRAY, of the United States
circuit court at Boston, holds that
Bell Is the first inventor who SUCCESS
fully used the 81 electric current for the
transmission of a~rticulate sound. The
decision gave Bell telephone stock
quite an upward tendency, registering
IN advance on the afternoon call of
s26 per share, ar appreciation of 12a
per cent. The rapid rise in telephone
stock has been unprecedented; but
some inventive spirit will rise W
some time with an invention which
will enable patrons to understand
each other and depreciate the value q
the Bell system.

The extreme indifference with
which monarohial Europe looks upon
the events just now disturbing repub.
lican France Is regarded by the Lon
don Times as cause for generalization.
The overthrow Of the republic would
be the signal for oeaseless internal
discussion sufficient 70 remove France
for some time from the roll of great
powers capable of taking part in inter-
national disputes, II is not surpris-
Ing, therefore, that all her rivals feel
q noticeable satisfaction In watching
her difficulties. The probabilities Of
any collapse of the present form Of

Is ever likely that when France shall

nor her political foe, Germany, will be
free to boast of intarnal harmony very
long. II is too late for the monarchy
to flourish in France.

ENGLAND AND EGYPT.

There Is liable to be a heated dis
Gus sion between the liberals aud to-
ries when parliament opens over the
reconatruction of Egypt as planned by
Mr.. Gladstone and his ministry. AL
ready the tories arc d~enouncing the
ministerial note relative to the navi.
cation of the Suez canal by the ves-
sells of all nations and providing for
it's preservation from abuse by bellig-
erent powers. The STANDARD insists
that Mr. Gladstone should have an
nounced a protectorate i've Egypt,
and thus have secured the ultimate
supremacy of British influence In that
country. While the Gladstone minis
try have reasons Of their own for not
taking the step advocated by the To.
ries, yet they do not hesitate to point
out that years may elapse before the
British troops can be wholly with.
drawn from Egypt, and In the mean
time they urge that the relations Of
the lister country with Turkey may
undergo a radical change through q
collapse of the Ottoman empire.
While these things are trans
piring In England, the affairs In
Egypt are assuming such a shape as
will effectually make the latter q de-
tendency of Great Britain. The khe.
dives government has formulated a
scheme, which has received the ap.
proval Of Lord Dufferin, through
which the khedive will govern the
country, while he In turn will be gov
erned by England, This scheme
gives the khevive a council of twelve
ministers, with a Legislative council of
fourteen members, half of whom are
to be appointed by the khedive, and
An elective assembly of forty-four
members, who are to be allowed to
speak but not to vote. The ministers
alone are to initiate legislation, and
when irreconcilable differences occur
in the legislative council the
decision is to be given by the khedive.
1t Is plain to be seen that this
plan places all power to dictate legisla-
ton and dispose of disputed questions
In the hands tf a ruler who is simply
maintained In power through British
bayonets and influence. Without
making proclamation of q protectorate
to excite opposition from the great
powers, Great Britain will accomplish
her purpose Of governing Egypt with
out provoking hostility, except, per
haps, 1t may be from France. This
doubtless, is about the easiest way II
which England can attain her purpose
without involving herself In trouble
with Turkey and the treaty powers
The wisdom Of the plan is seen by tn
GOODNESS with which the feeble protes
o. Turkey has been received. Ger
many's influence thrown in tn
balance on the English sid
has decided the question an
stitlod all open Europea'
opposition. Nc one who observes til
inevitable logic of events doubts fo
an instant that this new scheme, s
readily approved by England, Is tn
covert declaration of an intention O
the part of Great Britain to complet
her conquest by governing for tn
time being under the form of a
Egyptian administration. When occs
sion requires the British governmer
will find a ready ear of making al
, nexation complete and permanent.

WASHINGTON, April 22-The correspond
ents who went to Florida to see how the
President caught fish have been putting in
their time for the past forty-eight hours in
writing sensational and untruthful kilograms
about the Presidents alarming illness.
He never looked better in his
life than when he alighted from the train
tonight The truth is, the correspondents
who attempted to attach themselves to the
Presidents party unlimited have been
snubbed, and they are taking their revenge
in this fashion. The dispatches published this
morning in New York and Philadelphia pa
pers representing the President as in a pre-
carious condition were wilfully false A
mild case of stomach-ache was the only dis

low the President on a private
journey undertaken solely for rest

Norwich Conn, April 2l.-Three boys, all

here for larceny. During the past winter a
number of petty robberies have been COM
mitted, and the officers finally discovered the
thieves in a cave near the city. The entire
value of the goods stolen is about s., 900, and
about one-half of the property has been re-
covered. The boys are reported as being
happy in prison, holding that their arrest is
but the discip pline necessary to persons in the
line of business they have embarked upon.
They have kept themselves fully armed, al
ways carrying at least two revolvers and a
dirk concealed. One of them said to-day that

New YORK, April 21.-The stockholders of

day ratified the lease OF the Mutual Union
Telegraph Company's lines in accordance

of Western Union stock, who, through coun-
sci, entered protest against the vote being
taken. With the exception of this protest
Reiff took no active part in the meeting
even declining to vote. The votes in favor
of ratifying the lease amounted to 612,5S6
out of total of 800 000 The same votes
were also cast in favor of the contract dated
May 7, 1881, for the lease of the lines and
property of the Northwestern Telegraph
Company, a Wisconsin corporation, for an
international Ocean Telegraph Company,
which has under control the cables to Cuba,
the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company,

that as it was agreed between the diplomatic

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Local interest in
the star-route trials IS increasing as the pro-
ceedings draw to Close although they are
less talked about than the first trials at this
stage. 1t is openly admitted by counsel for

has not made out as strong case as before
while on the other hand the defendants have
made better fight. 1t is rare that man is
found who predicts a verdict of guilty. No
body seems to look for a conviction. Brady
and Dorsey confidently anticipate an acquit-
tai, but the prevailing sentiment is that there
will be disagreement of the jury, with pos
sbly majority of the jury for acquittal.
1t is not likely that the Kellogg Brady
cases will come up for trial before fall.
