Silver has been trife stronger. We

privileges from the State of Mexico,
and bid fair to pay very large dividends,
and they must have $500 900 paid in be-

the stock has been taken up. The pecu

ton of improvement, but in cattle 1t IS
naturally a source OF some apprehen-
sion. 1t will be remembered that cattle
started into the year 1883 at slight ad-
vance, but that the improvement was
lost before it was well established. This
year, the decline begins little earlier,
and. while probabilities do not point
to still lower figures, they certainly do
not indicate an immediate recovery
from the depression now existing. The
position of cattlemen in the next few
weeks can only be defined as waiting

with no small degree of uneasiness
However. there are still grounds for
hoping that the fears now entertained
by many will not be realized.

By the decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the Bates Refriger-
ating Company's case, the Edison
Electric Light Company has scored an
overwhelming victory over all its rivals,
and the result would seem, at present
writing. that the Westinghouse Com

United States Electric Lighting Com
pany, and all others using the incan-
descent system will have to stop opera.

Judgements The ruling of the court,
which will have this far-reaching effect,
was telegraphed over the country in
such shape that its true bearing was
apparent only to the interested few.
1t was to the effect that the life time of
an American patent first taken out in a
foreign country does not expire until
the extreme limit for which an exten-
sion of patent may be secured in the
foreign country. This question is of
fundamental Importance in connection
with the status of the Edison Company
and the case was raised and carried
through the courts at the lnstigation of
the company to serve as test.

Our esteemed contempory, The New
York Sun, which is proud of its I'M
common accuracy in tho use Of Ian
guage, makes n common mistake when
it refers to the present year as the
closing year of the ninth decade"
Tho year 1890, not the year 1889,
will be the closing year of the ninth
decade of the Nineteenth century.
Tho year 1 was the first year of the
Christian era, and the first decade was
not completed until the close Of the
tenth year. The year 1889 is the
lSS9th year of the Christian era, and
the present year will not be completed
till the close of the 1S90th year; that
is, the 31st day of December, 1890.
The tenth decade will begin on the LIST
day of January, 1891, and end on the
31st of December, 1900.
1t is u very common error 10 sup
pose that the present century will end
with the close of the year 1899. 1t
will end only with the last day of the
last month of the year 1900, and the
Twentieth century will not begin UNI
til Jan uary 1, 1901.
1t is just as well 10 be accurate in
keeping the account of our transac-
tons with Father Time. Boston

LONDON, Feb. 27.-It is believed that
Pigott posted a letter to Shannon at the
railroad station in Paris and then pro-
ceeded to either Spain or Switzerland. 1t
appears hat Pigott obtained money from
Sotherby's bookmart. The check was for
925, in payment for a number OF race
books. Pigott had the check cashed that
afternoon. The last time he was seen he
was walking on Fleet street.
An Englishman having the appear
ance of Pigott, but who gave no name, ar
rived at the Hotel du Monde in Paris at 6
Thursday morning. After breakfasting
he wrote a brief note on hotel paper and
enclosed it with other papers in an en-
velope upon which he wrote a London adj
dress Hel lett again between $ and 9

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The confer
ence report on the agricultural depart
ment appropriation bill was presented and
agreed to. The senate bill to amend the
law to provide for better protection of
salmon fisheries of Alaska was passed.
Plat from the committee on ter
ritories reported two bills for the forma-
ton and admission as states of Idaho
and Wyoming.
Hoar from the committee on privilege
and elections reported an amendment
to the deficiency bill, which was referred
to the committee on appropriations, ap-
pr~opriating $25, 600 to enable the presi-
dent to offer a reward for the detection
and conviction of persons who illegally
carried away and destroyed the ballot
boxes OF Plummerville, Ark. 1t was a
majority report, a minority dissenting.
On motion of Cullom the senate pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the senate
bill to amend the interstate commerce law
to act upon the two house amendments
on which the conference committee was
unable to agree.
Sherman favored concurrence in the
house amendments. One of them, he
said, gave to state courts jurisdiction in
certain cases of questions arising under
the act. AS to the other it simply made
it unlawful for any common carrier to
transport refined oils, etc, for any ship
rer owning, leasing or controlling cars,
tanks or cylinders, except on condition
that the railroad company shall charge
the same rate per car load for transport
ing as it charges for oil transported in
barrels. He referred to the Standard
Oil company as a gigantic corporation
which was not only able to buy cars but
also to buy railroads.
No action was taken on the amend
ments, and after the transaction of some
other u%nimportant business the senate
adjourned.

car remained on the bridge. Eight or
ten persons were killed and about thirty
wounded persons have been taken out of
the cars.
The dining room car contained about
seven persons besides walters. Supper

Immediately and in a few minutes the
streets were the scene of the widest ex-
element. Conveyances we're hurried to
the bridge aud the dead and wounded

also the letters falsely attributed to Mr..
Egan, Mr.. Davitt and Mr.. O'Kelley.
1T is scarcely fitting now to enter into
the circumstance under which we ar
rived at the publication of them. We are
bound, however, TO point out that PigOtt
was not the person with whom we COM
municated. Moreover, we must add that
We firmly believed the letters were genu-
inc until the disclosures made by Pigott
on cross-examination. 1t must be
evident to all reasonable persons
that if conspiracy existed the Times was
victimized by and not a party to it.
Errors in judgment may have been COM

ty and in public interest alone. This
