DIRE THREATS.

The Toronto Mail works itself into a
great passion over the indifference of
England to the fisheries matter, and
threatens separation from the mother
country. Joined to its dreadful threat is
an inlimation that the Canadians will
tolerate no foolishness on the part of the
United States, and we have no doubt
that between its lurid lines are various
significant utterances which the Car and
the venerable King William, not to men.
ton David Kalakaua, Of the Sandwich
Islands. will do well to heed. The To
ronto thunderer should have more mercy
1t should remember that strength is
never so dignifed and happy as when it
kindly fails to create apprehension and
gently soothes such agitation as naturally
follows disappointment, Flippancy and
threat belong to the smaller powers, and
a great nation like Canada can not afford
to Brighten a large number of people to
death. What. moreover, would England
do If Canada were TO cast her off? What
would this government do if Canada
were to rise in her might with the pur-
pose in view of annexing it? Good To-

WASHINGTON CITY, June AT the navy
department no uneasiness is felt over the
alleged concentration OF British war vessel
at Halifax, n. s The port is coaling
station, and British war vessels are accus-
toned to enter there and take on supply of
coal and also provisions The fact that
several war vessels are there at this
time is attributed to the fact
that the British squadron has been
cruising about in these waters for some time
and has entered port for the purpose indi-
Gated, fuel AMI supplies having become low.
No credence at all is attached TO the asser-
tiOn that these vessels are there to protect
Canadian fishery vessels from threatened

TELEPHONE DECISION.
The Bell Telephone Patent Sustained-A
Zine Point of Law,

New ORLEANS, June The decision
of the Uniter States circuit court sustaining
the Bell telephone patents, as against the
National Improved Telephone company, is
rendered of unusual signiiance by the fact
Justices Pardee and Billings tried the case
de novo, ignoring the prior decision in other
circuit courts which might have been held
to be conclusive of the case The finding
OF fac. was that Bell made the affidavit to
his claim and specifications as originally
filed on the Goth day of January, and that
Gray's description of his invention embodied
in his caveat was not written out until
three or four days prior to Feb, a. when it
was filed The court also decided that
neither Reese nor his successor anticipated
the invention of Bell, as set forth on his
patent This narrowed the Law point down
to the question of Infringement
