Dropped it i'm wall street.

SAG HARBoR, L. l., April 13.-Bank
Treasurer Harris is defaulter for several
thousand dollars. The report of the defal-
cation created great excitement in the vii
lage, few, however. being found to believe
the report till the publication of a circular
by the officers confirmed the statement.
They say the deficit is less than S6, 900 and
that the bank is perfectly sound, having a
surplus of Ss5,00O. The defalcatiOn was
examined on Friday by State Bank Exam
iner Richardson, and he at once visited
Treasurer Harris, who confessed. saying
that his peculations had been going on for
two years, and that the money had been
lost in Wall street, through Henry Clews
& Co. and J. II. Ives & Co. The trustees
state that the actual deficit now is only
$4,000. Harris having turned over all his
property and his friends are endeayoring to
raise the balance. He has not yet been
arrested. but is under surveillance. There
was slight run on the bank this morning,
and about $4,000 was withdrawn by poor
depositOrs. Harris standing was high in
social and religious circles.

NATTER OF DOUBT.
May the Government Bring Suits TO
Cancel Patentsl

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Two reports
by the minority of the judiciary committee
upon the resolution submitted 10 that COM
mittee, inquiring into the power of the
government to institute suit at the instance
of private corporations to annul patents,
were presented to the house to-day. The
first report, which is signed by Messrs.
Parker, z. B. Taylor, Hepburn and Cas-
well, after an exhaustive review of pre-
cedents. arrives at the following conclusion:
First-That the authority TO cancel or Rnnul
a patent for an invention or discovery, in a
suit between private parties, on the ground
that the same was obtained by fraudulent
collusion with an officer of the government,
or surreptitiously, or on false suggestions.
does not exist.
Second-That the public interests require
that authority should exist N the govern
ment under proper restriction to bring suit
in the name of tae United States to repeal or
annul any such patents so obtained.
Third-That under the statutes and de-
cisions OF the United States. IL is a matter of
grave doubt whether authority now exists
permitting a suit by the United States TO an
nul patent obtained as above stated, which
doubt can only be determined by decision
of the court of last resort.
Fourth-That in case il shall be autborita-
lively decided that the right to bring suit for
the cancellation of a patent claimed 10 have
been obtained by fraudulent collusion with
an officer of the government or surrepttiously
by or upon
FALSE SUGGESTION,
now rests with an officer of the government
acting upon his own motion or at the in
stance OF another according TO his Judgment.
or at his pleasure, TO attack. in the name and
at the expense OF the United States any
patent now in life or such as may
at any time exist, with no limitation
except as such shall appertain TO
judicial proceedings after the suit is
commenced. 1t is apower and responsibility
that congress should place. define and re-
strict; that in case il shall be decided that no
authority exists on the part of any officer or
department of the government TO institute
such suit, il is equally the duty of congress
10 establish and limit such power. This mi
nority recommends the enactment of a bill
comforting the necessary power upon the
attorney general TO bring a suit az the re-
quest of the secretary of the interior. in
which no issue shall be ltigated that can be
determined in private suit.
Messrs. Ranney and j. W. Stewart unite
in second minority report, holding that
There is no authority for suit in the name
of the United States brought for the purpose
of vacating patent for an inventor. except
when il is based upon a state of facts which
cannot be regarded by a court and made
available in an infringement suit and that in
no case can the name of the government be
proposed to suit in interest only of pri-
vate parties.

AnlII-Advised strike.

PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-The oper-
ators of the Clearfeld bituminous coal re-
gion, representing nine-tenths of the coal
mined in that section, to-day issued cir
cular to their men, who have been on
strike for an advance of wages for month.
The operators say that they are always
ready to pay the highest wages compatible
with the ruling prices for coal; that just
now the price is very low, owing to in
creased competition, and that it is impos-
sible to aecede to the demands of the men
for the reasons given. 1t Is noted in this
connection that the executive board of the
federation of mine labOrers ordered the
strike in this region, notwithstanding the
fact that two-thirds of the men were OPP
posed to the strike and in the Houtzdale

Criminal Cuttings.

At Golconda, ILL.,, Monday night John Ran

thought to have grown out OF a litigation

and both were highly respected citizens.
John Lawson has been placed in the county
jail at Sherman, Tex, on the charge of hav-

A Caustic Criticism.

NEWCASTLE, April 13.-The Chronicle
says:
The opposition to Mr.. Gladstone's home
rule bill is the same which the American col
onists met in 17s2. 1t basely smuggled the
union with Ireland into existence eighteen
years after this, and it allowed the bitterness
Of the emancipation trouble to ferment
towards rebellion for an entire generation
1t is an opposition which never comedies any
thing until it Is no longer able to withhold it.
Its handspring is the traditional and deep
rooted prejudice of the English and Scotch
towards their Irish neighbors, and the preju-
dice is partly political and largely religious.

AN OPPOSITION SPEECH.
GOschen Refers to the Melancholy
Impotence OF Parliament.

Mr.. Goschen on rising was greeted with
loud cheers He referred to Sir A. NJ.
Harcourt'S speech as a melancholy revela-
ton OF the impotence of parliament to deal
with most important crisis.
Sir William Harcourt, he said, was not the
first minister who suggested certain calamI-
ties ensuing on the rejection of the bill. Par
lament was being almost terrorized to pass
the bill. They were told that there was no
power or consistent policy in Englandto deal
with the crisis Why should Sir William Har-
court, Mr.. Morley and other speakers make
these constant references to the Irish beyond
the seas unless they desired not to deal with
the bill on its merits, but to terrorize parlia-
ment? The ministerial defense of the bill
had been slight. The bill had been torn into
shreds, yet there had been no defence for it,
Questions had been asked regarding the
power of veto, the two orders sitting together
and the financial proposals, yet the defenders
of the bill had ignored the questions,
adducing the single argument that the bill
was the sole alternative ard must be passed.
