MERITS OF TIE TELEPHONE CASE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-Those who spec
ulate in Bell Telephone stock have, of
course, the right to make any use they
please of the decision of the United States
supreme court on Monday, by which the
demurrer of the Bell Telephone company
to the case tried in Massachusetts
circuit was overruled, hut those aDx-
ious to know the exact effect Of this
decision, will do well to IN
derstand that the opinion read by Justice
Miller has NO relation whatever to the
merits of the controversy between the Bell
company and its opponent as represented
In the government suit which originated
in Boston In that suit the Bell company
simply pleaded that the United states had
not the cause bring suit 70 cancel "A
patent, no matter on what grounds The
supreme court reverses the decision
rendered by Judge Cole, who supported
the claim of the Bell company, and de-
claree that the United States has and
ought to have the right To bring suit TO
cancel patent on the grounds oil fraud,
and remands the case TO the Massachusetts
circuit for triel on its merits. The de-
cision has been interpreted 10 the dIsad-
vantage of the Bell company. Oi course
il is to the disadvantage OF the Bell com
pany to the extent that decision to the
contrary would have been very
great advantage 70 It, as .
would have possibly settled the
question In this suit. but the preseu; de-
cision does nothing Of that sort j. simply
says that the case must BE- carried upon Is
merits. The case viii then begin once

Will be required before the case can
be reached by the United States su-

ex-senator Warner Miller, who arrived

thought Warner Miller would probably be
selected to fill the treasury portfolio,
and added: ''My reasons for think

HE ADMIREs MARY ANDERSON.
An Eishman Charged With Prosecuting
the Pretty Actress.

NEW YORK, Nov. Thames N.
Dougherty, an awkward looking Irishman
| from Salem, II. Y, was a prisoner at po-
| lice headquarters today. The charge
| against him is that he admired Mary An
derson. the actress, too ardently for his own
good. DR.. Griffin, Miss Anderson,s step
father. went to police headquarters ON the
| day after election and advised Inspector
Byrnes of Dougherty's pursuit OF the
actress. He complained that the fellow
had prosecuted his step daughter with his
attentions for years and that he had fol-
| lowed her to England and preceded her to
this country to continue his insane con
duct. DR.. Griffin feared that he might
make a scene and asked the inspector
to do something to prevent 1t. A
central office detective, who was present
when Miss Anderson arrived from Europe,
saw Dougherty at the steamer and kept
him under surveillance until yesterday
when he arrested him. he had in his pos
session loaded self-cocking A caliber
revolver, which he said he intended to use
to protect himself against the actress
jealous suitors who had cOnspired to keep
him away from her. Inspector Byrnes got
at him today in the presence OF Miss An
derson and demanded an explanation of
his conduct. Dougherty said that he first
forming in the Lady of Lyons" six years
ago. He felt that her heart went out to
Of love N at first sight on his
part. He tried to go to her on the stage
but was restrained He left Elmira the
following day and Dougherty says he pur-
sued her here and followed her to England,
where he bombarded her with letters and
photographs of himself. His money gave
out and he returned home. He re-crossed
the ocean when his financial condition
permitted. He went to the play and at
the fall of the curtain on the first act,
sought out his love A lady came to him
from the stage disguised and made ready
to fall into his arms. He believed that a
the lady to fall, but not into his arms. In
the next act Miss Anderson's sorrowful
looks convinced him that he had missed
the chance of his life and he left
he country in disgust. He had not
been in America long before he learned
that Miss Mary was i'll and he posted back
to England offers of sympathy. He chased
her from London to Paris, back to London
and thence to Liverpool, where he had an
interview with her brother The interview
made him happy and he returned full of
the hope that he and Miss Mary were to be
married as soon as she returned from
abroad. He said that his arrest was
therefore great surprise to him.
At the conclusion of his story Miss An
dersOu told him that she felt sorry for him
but that she would not marry him for the
world. The poor fellow looked surprised
but solemnly promised never to trouble
her if she did not make a charge against
him. Miss Anderson begged the inspector
to let the man 60 but he declined to do SO.
He will have Dougherty examined as to
his sanity.

POSTOFFlCE DEPARTMENT REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the third assistant postmaster gen.
eral shows that the total cost of the postal
service for the last fiscal year Inclusive of
the amount earned by the subsidized Pa
cific road companies for mail transporta-
tom was s., 1S6, 004. The postal and money
order receipts amounted to $50, 695, l76,
leaving deficiency of s., 430, SOS. This de-
ficiency is owing mainly, it is said, to the
great extension of free delivery service and
increase of railway mail transportation.
The total number of pieces of registered
matter transmitted during the year was
1867, 1859 and of special delivery matter
43344 400. The total number of articles of
the various kinds of stamped paper trans
mitted was 200, 625, 10 representing $50
626, 321. Statistics are given showing that
in the cheapness of postage the number OF
postoffices, extent of mail routes, miles of
service performed. postal revenues and
postal expenditure and number of letters
and other pieces of mail matter transmit
ted in mails the United States is now con-
spicuously ahead OF every other nation IN
the world. The statistics of letters, ETC.,
transmitted dnriug the year which are
the first accurate statistics of the
character ever published by the depart
ment are as follows: Letters mailed. 100
500, 600: postal cards mailed, 80, 200 900;
newspapers and periodicals mailed, 1,063,-
100000: pieces of third and fourth class
matter, 572, 900, 600 Total, 3,518, &c., 600.
The third assistant postmaster general
recommends that in some of the larger cities
the pneumatic tube or some equivalent
underground system of transportation of
the mails be adopted; that the present con-
tract for letter sheet envelopes be resclnded
and that as substitute for the franking
privilege, members of congress have an
annual allowance of money for the pur-
chase of postage stamps with which TO
pay postage on speeches and other official
matter sent in the mails.
