The Telephone War.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-A large num-
Der of patent attorneys and other persons
interested in the telephone cases were in
attendance at the interior department to
hear the beginning of the arguments on
the applications of the Pan Electric, the
Globe, and Washington Telephone com
panies, to have the United States begin
suit to cancel the Bell patent. Mr.. Mont
gomery, assistant attorney general, had
declined to take any part in the proceed
ings. owing to his personal relations with
M Of the parties in interest; so the hear
ing was conducted by Secretary Lamar,
Commissioner of Patents Montgomery,
and Assistant Secretary jerks. Alexan-
der Graham Bell sat beside his counsel,
Mr.. Morrow. of Boston. The Pan Flee
tric company was represented by Casey
Young. r. G.. Morgan of Memphis, and
others. Gen. Bradley T. johnson repre-
sented the Washington Telephone com
pany. Messrs. Humphreys & Sheppard
represented the Globe company. Quite a
discussion took place as to the scope OF
the investigation and the legal points that
must be discussed. Secretary Lamar
finally said he had no power over the pat
ent Office, and the question at issue in his
opinion was simply whether he should
advise the attorney general to bring suit
to cancel the Bell patent, or set it aside.
That was a matter he should ike to hear
argued. The attorneys were present as
friends of the department to assist it in
reaching a conclusion without reference to
litigation in other courts. lie regarded it
as advisable and in the public interest to

An Uncomfortable Voyage.

HALIFAX, Oct. 3l.-R. T. Stupart, the
Hudson's bay observer, who with three
assistants abandoned his station at Stupart
bay the day before the steamer Alert ar
rived there, reached Halifax this evening
on the steamer Miranda from st. Johns,
N. f. Stupart gives an interesting ac-
count Of the experiences he and his three
companions met with after leaving their
post. The men with him were J. w.
Mcdaniel and j. w. Chaplain, of St.
Mary's, n. s.. and Harry Bennett, of
st. Johns, n. +. Each observing sta
ton in the strait was furnished with eigh-
teen months provisions for three men,
and Stupart received nothing additional
for the fourth man in his party. The
consequence was that by the 10Th of
August they found themselves with very
small quantity of supplies left and the
country around affording no means Of
support for white men, they were
compelled to make a move for
other quarters. The Esquimaux were
also suffering for food because
of the failure of the fisheries, and he
gave them what he could spare. On
Aug. p, all four left their post in an open
sail boat, taking with them twenty-five
pounds of meat and a barrel aud a half of
biscuit and started for Ungava bay. AZ
ter a voyage of thirteen days, made under
most dangerous and uncomfortable cir
c%umstances, the little party reached their
destination. At Fort Cline they boarded
the steamer Labrador for Rigolet, which
they reached Sept. d. Thence they
went one days journey in a sail boat to
Indian harbor. On Oct. % the steamer
Hercules took them to Grady and they
came thence to Harbor Grace, n. f., on
the steamer Vanguard, arriving last Tues.
