In regard to the telephone tangle'
Mr., Garland said he owned stock IN
the PAN Electric Telephone Co..,
and had had some talk with the presi-
dent about the suit brought by the
solicitor general in the name OF the
United States. The suit was lnstl-
tinted to test the validity of the Bell
telephone patent, but has been with
drawn. The attorney general SAID
his stock was for sale, but thai he
had not been asked by the president
to dispose of it. Mr.. Garland was
elected the company's attorney when
there was no particular probability
that he would ever be called upon to
fill the office of attorney general OF
the United States.
Several very prominent gentlemen
were in to see him when we called,
among them two or three foreigners.

! very handsomely furnished indeed.
, Our stay was only of about ten MIN
! utes duration, chatting upon pleasant
topics. The president very warmly
and enthusiastically enquired after
the health of Cash Blackburn, Wick
I Mason and Ben Dobyns, and after
d rendering his excellency q "Slgna-
ture" cigar, we withdrew from the
e august presence of the ruler OF the
!" greatest nation on earth.
