A Denial from Professor Bell.


WASHINGTON, May 22.-Protessor
Alex Graham Bell says there is not a
particle of truth in the story that he
aid 10 z. Fisk Wilbur, while he
tlbur) was an examiner in the
mt office, the sum of one hundred
- lars for information contained in
.aveat of Professor Elisha Gray.
Professor Bell said last night: 81 have
only seen Mr.. Wilbur two or three
times In my life. The first
time was when he was a
patent examiner in the patent
office, at about the time when
the Bell patent came out, but after the
caveat had all been settled. The sec
ond time was about two years ago in
New York. We met on the street /;
Wilbur acknowledged an acquaint-
ance l did not recognize, and he intro
duced himself as M. Wilbur. Even
then l did not know who he Was. and
he then said that he was a patent ex-
aminer when our patent came out. l
then said 1 was glad TO see him, but
as for the statement that | w paid
him a cent, or offered TO pay
him anything, at any time, it
is not true. Neither do [
know of any one else paying him any
thing. | knew at the time the Bell
tent was issued, / would have been
d to have had 500 in my posses
SION. l have never seen him, (Mr.
Wilbur), never had any communica:
ton with him, and had never heard OF
him until recently in connection with
these conflicting afidavits. There is
not a shadow of foundation for the
story. OF course 1 am not in a posi-
ton to answer for the rest of the COM
pany, but l know.that any such accu'
sation applying to any officer of the
Bell Telephone company in Washing
ton, is equally false.

Closing of All the Furniture Manu-
factories.

ST. LOUIS, May 23.-As was expect
ed, the return Of the furniture manu-.
facturers from the eight hour system,
which they recently inaugurated in
their factories here to the old ten
hour plan, has resulted in the closing
down today of every establishment of
the kind in this city, rendering idle
over two thousand men. When the
furniture workers learned Of the in.
tention of their employers to abandon
the short hour system, they resolved
not to return to work on the basis OF
ten tou:s unless they should receive
more pay per day. The manu-
facturers refused to grant this de-
mand with the above result.

The Engagement Between Greeks
and Turks the Result of a Mis-
understanding.
LONDON, May 22.-The general in
command of the Turkish forces on the
frontier of Greece, who were engaged
In the skirmish yesterday, inquired of
the Greek commander why his troops
were fighting. The latter replied that
it was because the Turks had first al
tackled them. Assurances were ex-
changed by the c%ommandant that the
fighting would not be resumed. They
will also arrange a protocol, showing
that the firing was the result of a
mutual misunderstanding. The de-
parture of the Greek troops to the
front has been suspended. 1t is ex-
pected that a decree ordering the de
mobilization of the Greek army will be
issued by the government tonight.

The Seized Vessel Cannot be Held
Accountable.

~ ASSOANAI00iS'
OTTAWA, May 22-The governmeIt
has received the official report from
Capt, Scott, of the Lansdowne, of the
seizure Of the Adams. 1t confirms in
every respect previous adviceS received
by telegraph. The fact appears to be
that the vessel, even if it be proved
that she was buying bait, cannot under
existing laws be held answerable for
such co%ntravention Of international
agreement. The law providing for
lure Of foreign vessels for certain
renses is so worded that buying bait
is not an offense under it..
Hon. Peter Mitchell, ex-minister of
marine and fisheries, who prepared the
legislation under which the seizure
was presumably made, purposely omit
ted the buying of bait from the list of
offenses, believing that bait should be
regarded as an article of commerce and
the buying of bait as a commercial
transaction. The seizure Of the Adams
seems to have caused the government
to realize the weak points of the law
under which it was made, and a bill
amending that law has been hurried
through; the house of commons have
passed it on its third reading yester-
day. 1t will probably pass the senate
aud become a law in a week.
