Meeting Of the American Historical Asso-
citation.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The first ses-
sion of the third annual meeting of the
American Historical Association was held
i'll the lecture hall of the Columbia Uni
versity this morning. President George
Bancroft, the eminent American historian,
delivered an address of welcome.
At the conclusion of the address, a letter
was read from Leopold Won Banke, a
venerable historian of Berlin, in reply to
letter from President Bancroft, asking
him to consent to become an honorary
member of the association. Mr.. Won
Banke signifed his grateful acceptance
of the membership, and said it gave him
great satisfaction to belong to a society
pursuing the same aims beyond the ocean
that they on the other side we're striving
to achieve. After reading several inter
esting papers the meeting adjourned un-

Possibility ofa Serious 0Ntbrenk in the Ohio
Senate.

ioSsibIiltN ol H serious bHtbrtnk i'll the Ohio
Senate.
COLUMBUS, O., April 2S-The future is
fraught with danger of a serious outbreak
IN the senate when the select
committee makes its report on
the rotteness, of Cincinnati poll
tics. The democrats will insist that
the four democratic senators were honest
ly elected. The republicans will insist
otherwise. Gov. Kennedy will rule that
none of the four senators can vote on any
question pertaining to their contest. This
would give the republicans II votes against
l6, and decide the case very quickly But
the democratic report will make a sever
ance of the four cases and report on each
senator, so that three of the four from
Hamilton county will be able to retain
their fourth colleague and so on until all
have been declared seated. On account of
Gov. kennedys firmness the democratic
senators propose to instruct the sergeant
alarms to oust him from the chair, and
he says he will only go out when dead.
Both sides threaten to resort to violence.

THE TELEPHONE INVESTIGATION.
Testimony of Forbes, President of the Bell
Company.

Testimony of Forbes, President of the Bell
Company.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Wm. r. Forbes,
president of the Bell telephone company,
was examined by the telephone investi-
eating committee, to-day. The witness
did not know that any officer of the gov
ernment or member of congress had been
connected with the original companies,
or had stock at the present time in the
National. The Bell Co.'S stock lists
showed Mr.. Ranneys name as stockholder.
That was several years ago, and he was no
longer a stockholder. Sec'y Manning,
who had stock in the Troy company,
was the only government officer he knew
of who held local stock. No wspapers
own stock in the company.
Mr.. Ranney inquired if any member of
congress represented his company as at
torney.
The witness replied that Patrick Collins
had been retained several years ago to
look after certain matters, and had been
consulted several times since.
The examination was then directed by
Chairman Boyle toward the interview the
witness had with the president. The wit
ness said the understanding was that the
government
PROPOSED TO BgISG SUIT
against the Bell comrsny. He thought it
proper to state to the president the facts
as he understood them. He thought the
president was proposing to take an un-
usual course to bring the suit. The Bell
lawyers had expressed their opinion, and
there was no authority for such a suit.
Then it had been proposed TO bring suit
in remote part of the country. He went
on to say that he had presented TO the
president a plain statement of the ques-
tion of jurisdiction; he had pointed out to
him that the suit about TO come up in the
supreme court would be decided before
the government suit could be heard
He had pointed out 10 the president that
il was the manifest intention of the Pan
Electric associates TO secure delay, not
to get the Bell patents tried, but TO leave
them untried. and he thought that the
government ought not 10 lend its name
to scheme of that sort. He showed that
the pendency of the government suit
would be used to effect the proceedings
In other courts-that they would be asked
to grant stay in injunction proceedings

WH,.N n cameo cutter is ready for work
he draws on the white surface of the stone
with a lead pencil the design which he in
tends to produce in the cameo. He then
follows the outlines with diamond, and
cuts away the white parts outside. If the
stone is small he cements it ON the end
OF stick; if large, he holds 1T in his
hand, and proceeds to work upon 1t with
fine drills. He sits at a table like a sew
ing machine table, and by n treadle works
n small lathe situated at his right. At his
left is a frame filled with drills made of
steel wire and of all varieties and shapes.
The ends of the drills are covered with
diamond dust ground in olive oil. The
dust is obtained by crushing uncut dia-
monds by blows of hammer in small
steel mortar. The cutter has placed be-
fore him picture or a model of the sub
ject to be made. Everything then dedends
upon the correctness of his eye and his
artistic instincts. The work IS inexpres-
sibly slow, but when completed it is mar
velously perfect.
