Rand Accumulation of Gold.

WASHINGTON, October 23.-The rapid ac-
emulation of gold in the Treasury since
October has caused some surprise among
Treasury officials, and has been the means
of raising in the Secretary's Office the ques-
tion of calling bonds. On the first of Octo-
Der the net gold, after deducting out
standing certificates, was $133, ,000, 900.
At that time the quarterly interest on
the four per cent bonds matured,
which thrust upon the Treasury gold
liability exceeding $7,000,000. The pay
meut of this interest was expected to re-
duce the gold balance by the amount
paid on this account, and it was ex-
pected that the gold fund would gain an
amount during the month in excess of
that paid out on the interest account. 1t ap-
pears, however, that such increase has been
made, and that the net gold is 81 ,3S6, ,0SS
greater than October /, notwithstanding
the disbursements of nearly $1,000, 600 on ac-
count of interest. This shows that the
gold disbursed Immediately found its way
to New York, and was returned to the
Treasury through the banks and Custom
houses. 1t is believed at the Treasury De-
partment that this continued increase in
the net cash will necessitate an early call
for three-per cent. bonds.

The Telephone Case.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-There is great
activity at the patent Office on the part of
the companies which are antagonistie to
the Bell Company, to secure report from
the Commissioner of Patents to the Attor-
ney- general which will warrant the latter
in authorizing the use of the name of the
United States in a suit for the cancellation
of the Bell patent. Three such applications
are pending before the Commissioner
one by the Pan Electric Company, one by
Baltimore and Washington Telephone
Company, and the third, which has just
been filed, by the Globe Telephone Com
pany. The Commissioner is in very en-
barassing position, and undoubtedly is SUBJ
jected to great deal of political pressure.
1t is reported in telephone circles that
Commissioner Montgomery in his reports
as to these several applications will not
undertake to &c into the general question
of the scientific character of the inven-
tions, but will confine himself to a report
of the facts as he finds them in the records
of the Patent Office.

Last year the question to encourage

wildly projected in the City Council, and
the public looked on with fated breath,
anticipating action in keeping with their
most iervent hopes, but at the last dis
oussion, the subject was agitated to
such pitch that it was paralized. The
public was spellbound and did not re-
cover until Immediately before the cleo
ton. They pondered deep and neces-
sarily arrived at the conclusion to array
themselves and with unflinching deter
mination, elect only live, progressive,
enterprising and public spirited men,
whom they believed had with them
equally and mutually the progress OF
