THE BLAlNE-EDMUNDS AFFAIR.

| The Maine Statesman Undergoing
Change of POlicy-What OchiItree Says
New YORK, Nov 29.-The politicians con
tinue to talk about Blaines snub of Ed
munds Aside from the mere question of the
propriety of the act they say. it has consid
cradle significance as indicating a decided
change of policy on the part of Mr.. Blaine
| Heretofore Mr.. Blaine has never exhibited
any special Sensitiveness as to the criticism.
PASSED upon himself. His method has beer
to treat friend and foe alike in his persona
relations. 1t was formerly said in Washing.
ton that in order to secure a warm well
come from the Maine statesman one should
first attack him publicly.
1t is we'll known to the majority of Wash
ington politicians of experience that Blaine
entertained people at his home who had
previously denounced him in much stronger
terms than those used by Mr.. Edmunds,
Said a prominent Blaine man Friday: "Mr.
Blaine will lose nothing by cutting Ed
munds. If he had adopted more independ-
ent course long ago and refused to recognize
his accusers he would occupy a better posi-,
tion before the country to-day. But he runs
no great risk in snu ubbing Edmunds. Blaine
can carry Vermont in spite of nything Ed
munds can do to prevent it,"
S. B. Elkins, who is one of Blaines closest
friends, refused to talk abo ut the matter.
saying he knew nothing about it, Col
Thomas P. Ochiltree, of Texas, said Friday:
MY relations with both men are of a pleas
ant nature. must say, however, that I do
not think Blaine at fault. l do not think |
should care to shake hands one day with a
man who had denounced me as a scoundrel
the day before. think Mr.. Blaine acted as
any man of spirit might have done. am
little surprised under the circumstances
that Mr.. Edmunds should have offered his
hand to Blaine at all. 1t must have been an
impulse. You know these cold men are oc-

The Bell ComnanY on Ton.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. %. -Ex- Senator
Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indiana, is one of
the counsel for the defense of the Bell Tele-
phone patent in the suit brought by the gov
ernment to break down the patent In q
conversation with reporter be made the III
teresting declaration that, however the pro-
ceedings might be expedited, and whatever
the courts might do, final judgment by the
supreme court on the matter could lot be
reached in less than seven years from the
present, while the patent will expire in six
years, and no Judgment, whether for or
against the patent, could be made retroactive.
So that even if Bells patent is entirely in
volved, the clumsiness of the legal ma
chinery, and consequently the laws delay,
makes the government and the people of this
country absolutely powerless to prevent the
Bell company from continuing to pocket the
profits Of the monopoly, and absolutely
powerless to recover ii penny of that profit
should Judgment against the Bell patent be
ultimately obtained and the profits shown to
have been ill-gotten.

rendered an important decision in the case OF
Sheer VS.. Gross Bros, at Chickasaw county,
concerning the running of a saloon in con-

wanted the saloon closed under the provis'

pealed to the United States court, claiming
that the saloon was on the brewery premises,
and exempt from that courts jurisdiction.
The judge decided that the case would have
to remain in the United States court for the
consideration of the United States supreme
court, and that the brewers can not be dis
possessed of their property without just
compensation when said property was az
cumulated and in use before the Clark law

but malicious rumors, which did not come
to the ears Of the husband, were soon in cir

it was found that the lady had
gone to visit her brother-in-law's country
house. The bankers suspicious were aroused,
however, and on making inquiries he soon
learned enough to convince him that he had
been betrayed. He challenged the lieutenant
and the duel was fought Friday in "a wood
near this city. Shiele deliberately fired
wide Of his mark, but the banker took care
full aim and killed his opponent. The SYM
pathy is all with the lieutenant, and nobody
has a word to say for the husband, who has
