The Fight ON Bell,s Patents.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-A large number
OF patent attorneys and other persons inter-
ested in the telephone cases were in attend
ance at the interior department to-day to
hear the beginning Of the arguments on the
application of the Pan Electric, the Globe
and Washington Telephone companies to
have the United States begin suit to cancel
the Bell patent. Mr.. Montgomery, the as
sistant attorney general, had declined to
take any part in the proceedings owing to
his personal relations to one of the parties
in interest, so the hearing was conducted
by Secretary Lamar, Commissioner of
Patents Montgomery and Assistant Secre-
tary jerks. Mr.. Alex Graham Bell sat be-
side his counsel, Mr.. Sterrow of Boston.
The Pan Electric company was represented
by Casey Young, r. G. Morgan of Mem
phis and others. Gen. Bradley E. johnson
represented the Washington Telephone
company, and Messrs. Humphrey and Shep-
pard represented the Globe company.
Quite discussion took place as
to the scope of the investigation
and the legal points that must be
discussed. Secretary Lamar finally said
that he had no power over the patent
Office, and the question at issue in his opin-
ion was simply whether he should advise
the attorney general to bring suit to cancel
the Bell patent or set it aside. That it was
a matter he should like to hear argued.
The attorneys were present as friends OF
the department to assist it in reaching
conclusion without reference to litigation in
other courts. He regarded it as advisable
and in the public interest to postpone the
hearing of arguments until Monday, Nov.9.

Along Labor contest Ended,

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The officers of
Typographical Union No. 6 to-day signed
an agreement with the New York Tribune
withdrawing all their charges of
bad faith and broken contracts,
suspending their boycotting and pledg
ing themselves to advise all
labor organizations, and request from them
similar action. This is the result of an
adjustment which the officers have reached,
on the basis first agreed upon with the
Tribune, during the height of the Blaine cam
paign in 1884, but afterwards rejected by
the Typographical themselves. The Trib-
une remains out OIL the union, as it has
been for nine years past, works under its
own rules and regulations, with its old
foreman, and makes absolutely no
change among its employees, most of
whom have been non-union men for
many years, and intend to remain so. It
agrees to continue paying its present wages
all cases above the union SCALE and to adj
vance its rate for price of COM
position to 46 cents per thousand.
This is the price named in the
memorandum to WEIGH it agreed last year,
but which the union afterwards rejected.
In speech to his men this afternoon, an
nouncing the agreement, Whitlaw Reid
thanked them for their conduct
to their employer during the long
struggle, and said that in consideration
of their splendid loyalty, he should do more
than the union asked or he had agreed to do
year ago. He therefore advanced the
price of piece composition to II cents
per thousand. Over one-half of the
Tribune printers are Democrats, politics
not being allowed to interfere with its re-
lations to its employees. 1t is said the
Typographical union apprehend gen.
eral movement among the other news
papers for a reduction to 40 cents per
thousand, and that this was their reason
for accepting the terms they rejected year
ago and being willing now to adjust their
difficulties with the Tribune ON the basis of
its remaining nOn-union Office.

All Hash Him.

The daughter of a Boston merchant of
great wealth, wide mercantile connections
and boundless hospitality, was lately mar
ried The western agent of the merchant
happened to be in town, and, as the proud
father was inviting about everybody to his
daughters wedding, he invited the West
erner too.
The Westerner came. He was uneasy
and shifted about from place to place in the
house as if he were hunting for spots that
fitted him better than those he had been in.
He put his hands nonchalantly on things
and took them off again suddenly. as if he
found them hot and grinned familiarly at
people he had never seen before, and then
suddenly drew his features back with a
CHASTITY solemnity. 1t seemed to be an oc-
casion OF great and overwhelming novelty
to him.
When the refreshments came around he
was inclined to fight shy of pretty nearly
everything. 1t was as if he proposed to
take on little Boston formality, now that
he was in Boston, and require an introdue-
ton to every dish. His host saw that he
wasn't eating much and came round to see
about it.
s'Why, you aren't eating anything, Mr..
West. :" said he, cant help you to some
thing?"
NO. thank you," said the Westerner,

I've eat enough"
Just then waiter came along with some
croquetteS.
Mr.. West. take one of those croquettes;
I think you'll like them: take one, take
one.''
The Westerner took one. He punched il
with his fork, laid it open bit, and ex-
amined it critically. Then he tasted it and
exclaimed.
Gosh! Hashl'-Boston Record.

the Democrats are sure of ajority on d joint

learned by experience that the Democrats are
