Important Patent Decision.

MANY ELECTRICAL INVENTIONS AFFECTED BY IT.
The Supreme Court of the United States to-
day rendered an opinion in the important pat
ent case of the Bate Refrigerating company,
appellant, agt. George ii. Hammond d Co..
appeal from the circuit court of the United
States for the district of Massachusetts BY
statute of the United States il is provided that
when patent is taken out in a foreign coun-
try and one subsequently is also secured in
this country, the patent shall expire in the
United States with the expiration of the patent
in the foreign country in which it first runs
out. Under the Canadian law patents are
granted for five years, with the privilege of re-
newal for two periods of five years each. The
question in this case was whether
the lifetime of the American patent
expired five years from its issuance
in Canada. or at the end of fifteen years, which
is the limit to which the life of patent may be
extended in Canada. The Supreme Court,
through Justice Blatchford holds that the pat
ent in the United States does not expire for if
teen years from the granting of the patent that
Is to Say that the lifetime of American pat
ent first taken out in a foreign country does not
expire until the extreme limit of time for which
an extension of patent may be secured in the
foreign country. The court, therefore, re-
verses the decision of the circuit court of Mas
sachusetts and remands the case TO the lower
court with instructions to enter a decree i'm ac-
cordance with the judgment Of this court. The
case is regarded by persons interested in pat
ents as one of great importance. Many cleo
trical patents are affected by the decision

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The House Subcommittee Unanimous
for the Edmunds Resolution.

Pursuant TO special call the Edmunds Pan.
anna canal resolution was taken up for consid-
Grafton this morning by the House committee
on foreign affairs
The subcommittee reported through Chair
man McCreary, that in its opinion the resolu-
ton should be adopted without amendment.
He explained that certain changes might have
been made in the phraseology of the resolution
which would have made ii more acceptable to
the subcommittee, but as the sense of the
measure fully met their views the members
were not disposed to obstruct its passage on
that account. and therefore unanimously rec
commended it favorably to the House. This
report at once resulted in opening discussion
which was participated in by most of the men,
bers present, and the hour Of IL arrived before
any conclusion had been reached. There
seems to be little doubt that the resolution
will be favorably reported in the end, but the
matter was allowed to go over until next
Thursday. by which time it is hoped that the
opposition which appeared this morning may
be overcome by argument, and a practically
unanimous report secured

The Smithsonian Institution.
WHAT Is SAID ABOUT THE PROPOSED CHARG
AGAINST IT.


AGAINST IT.
1t appears from the New York Mail and Err
press that the charges said to be in preparation
against officials of the Smithsonian Institution
emanate from Mr.. Daniel Leech, who was
corresponding clerk of the institution I'M
til Prof. Langley succeeded Prof. Baird
Mr.. Leech a. out year before Prof. Baird left
office made a charge against an employee of the
institution that he had disposed of documents
and publications to his own profit. The
charges now talked about are OF similar char
acter, and it is supposed at the Smithsonian
that the recent newspaper publications refer
to these changes, which Mr.. Leech has revived
in this way. At the time the changes were
made they were investigated by commission
composed of three gentlemen of high char
acter who were requested by the secretary Of
testimony, and the stenographic report was
laid before Prof Baird. At Prof Baird's re-
quest a well-known jurist of the city read over
and weighed the testimony. and the result was
that the accused was exonerated. Mr.. Leech
expressed much dissatisfaction at the time
with the result of the investigate
and threatened to carry the matter to other
quarters. An official Of the institution said to
a STAR reporter to-day that at present, as no
charges had been made and nothing published
but limitations, no answer could be made
He thought any charge Mr.. Leech
might make would be fully answered.
There was no institution, he said, whose
finances were more carefully managed than
those of the Smithsonian. Every quarter all
the accounts were carefully gone over by a
committee of the regents, and the records were
SO straight that no investigation was feared.

American Interests I'm Samoa.
THE NAVAL YES Sells WHICH HAVE BEEN oRpIpy1
THERE.

1t was said at the Navy department to-day
that it will take six weeks at least for the war
ships Trenton and Vandalia to make the run
from this continent to. Samoa. Thus the Nip
sic will be the only vessel representing this
government at those islands from this time
until after the 4th Of next March. The Tren-
ton sailed from Panama about week ago, but
the Vandalia, which sailed from San Francisco
yesterday, is faster vessel, and win take a
more direct route than the Trenton, and will
probably reach Samoa about ~ soon e. the
latter ship.
