A New Telephone.

The Minneapolis (Minn.) Journal is
jubilant over new invention in the tele-
phonic line, which may save the people
from much anxiety as to what the courts
will do with the Bell patents, and afford
happy issue out of all affliction, from
that instrument OF special torture, the
magnetic telephone. Henry P. Pratt, of
Chicago, has patented device for sound
or voice transmission, which differs so
radically from all previous telephones.
both IN mechanical construction and
scientific principles, that there will
be no infringement upon prior rights
in offering it to the public, while it
promises superiority over all other
instruments, as remarkable as its own
novelty. 1t is said to dispense entirely
with the magnet used by Bell, Edison.
and others, reproducing the sounds trans
mitted by electric current through a
purely mechanical device called a
'Solenoid,' coil of fiattened Wire, which
takes the place of the magnet in connec-
ton with the diaphragm. 1t gets rid of
all induction, and the consequent buzzing
and sound interference, which are the oc.
casion of so much chain-lightning pro-
family among those who are compelled to
converse through the machines now in
use. Nothing can be more satisfactory.
or more in the spirit of the age, than to
have the greatest monopoly question set
tied by throwing the old goods out OF
market, through the substitution of better.
while the courts are worrying over the
rights of the monopolists.

THE MESSAGE.

The anxious public will be somewhat
disappointed that the Presidents message
was not given to Congress to-day
The adjournment of Congress out ol
respect to the memory of the late Vice.
President was most proper, and the sor-
row of the country is that such cause
for the delay of the message should exist.
Tomorrow the country will know the
views of the President on the subjects
now engrossing the minds of the people.
In Utah the people are of all classes and
parties are chiefly engrossed in the Utah
problem, and it is probable that the
words of President Cleveland on this
problem will be the last words uttered on
it, and these words will be short and de-
cisive. The people here have learned
that Mr.. Cleveland is q man of few
words, but that those words always indi-
cate his conviction and point out his
line of action. The people of Utah have
nothing to hope for from the words which
he will utter on the morrow, unless the
people of Utah intend to obey the laws
of Congress and recognize the authority
OF the General Government in the Terri
tory OF Utah. What will the people
here do? That is the question which
now presents itself to them, and
we sincerely believe that their fate de-
pends upon their decision in regard to
obeying the laws. The question in Utah
must be settled, and the sooner it is set
led the better. With the people of Utah
les the decision whether that settlement
hall be peaceable or otherwise.

THE CONDITION OF THE INDIAN SCHOOLS,
The report says, is gratifying. The Winnie
bago and Grow Greek reservation trouble is
reviewed, and it is announced that the Pres
ident's order withdrawing these lands from
settlement has been almost universally
obeyed. The exceptions, if any exist. are
cases in which removal would cause suffer-
ing. The story of the Oklahoma invasions
is retold, and it is stated that these unlawful
movements have rendered it unwise at pres
ent to open negotiations with the Indians
owning the title to these lands for the pur-
pose of opening them to settlement.

An Alleged EmbezZler.

DETROIT, Mich, June 19.-Last year JOS
Kuhn, private banker and real estate
dealer, failed, involving many compare
lively poor depositors in financial ruin.
Yesterday he was taken into court to be
tried on charge OF embezzlement, hut his
lawyers were not ready, and the trial was
postponed for week. The corridor of the
court room was filled with women, many
OF whom were losers through Kuhn, and
when the latter emerged they assaulted
him with great violence. One Of the women
screamed out in English: 'There's the man
that stole our money. Let's kill him !" She
accompanied the words with blow ON
her parasol whick knocked Kuhn's hat of.
1t was Immediately pounced upon by the
frs woman in the meantime was vigorously
plying her umbrella over Kuhn's head and
shoulders. A policeman dashed aside the
men who were urging the women in the
assault and seized her arm. Kuhn then
ran into an Office and asked that he be pro-
tected from the men who, he said, had de-
liberately formed a plot to assassinate him.
He declared they were armed, and had in
stigated the assault with the expectation
that he would in turn assail the women,
and thus give them an opportunity to kill
him. He says he believes bis life to be con-
stantly in danger.
