THE SENTENCE OF COMMANDER BICKYELL.

The sentence OF Lieutenant-C Commander George A.
Bickne of the Navy, fOr suffering the wooden SIoop
ofwar Galena and the Navy tug Nina TO be strand
ed through negligence at Gay Head on March 13
was made public by Secretary Tracy yesterday Inc
sentence is the same as published in Tie Tribune
on May 10, that he be suspended from rank ana duy
for one year on waiting oeders pay from May - but
during that period he will retain his present number
in his grade" In other words he will not be per
mitted TO go duty, to his urCsn, for ono
year. and to all vacancies that may occur in his grade
above him during the year Of suspension his juniors
sill be promoted above him. 1t Will be recalled that
he the officer detailed 10 take charge OF transfer
ring the Galena from New-York TO the Portsmouth
Navy Yard to be repaired for another cruise and that
during dense fog and heavy weather, his vesse' and
the one towing her were stranded. The Gaena was
afterward loated or, and subsequent survey showed
that she could not bc repaired within the limit Of 20
per cent OF the cost Of vessel, and she is 10 be
disposed of at auction. The accused officer made a
defence which gave an impression among many officers
that he would escape punishment and yet the sentence
is not considered a veCy severe one.

General Samuel A. Duncan began yesterday to tell
Judge Wallace, in the United States Circuit Court,
his arguments TO prove that the United States Electric
Lighting Company had not inringed the patent Of tho
Edison Electric Light Company for an incandescent
lamp lie spoke all day and expects to occupy most
OF to-day In finishing. His endeavor was 10 show
that all the essential principles made OF in tho
lamp IN suit common knowledge before 1850.
when Thomas A. Edison secured his patent. General
Duncan said that Mr.. Edison himself had referred TO

made long before 1880. lie declared that Professor
Crookss radometer, although It not made to give
light was fashioned according 10 the principles Of
ncandescent lamp except that the carbon famet was
lacking
The speaker further said that Mr. Edson's plan
for fusng the glass the Ieadng.n wires to
a vacuum had previously been employed by Professor
Adams. The superiority OF carbon for incandecenr
lamp, and that OF platinum over copper for leadng-n
wires, were also known long ago, General Duncan
said.
his testimony before the master in the case, Mr..
Edison had been asked If Ohm's law not the prn-
cipe governing incandescent lighting. Mr. Edison
had said that he didn't know 0hm's law and never
expected to know It, Any school boy, General Duncan
said knew Ohm's law. Mr.. Edison had been asked
inventor OF the ncandescent lamp, and had refused TO
give a direct answer. Mr.. Edison, the speaker sam,
sat like boy eating pie In corner hearing notng OF
the electrical inventions OF other men; linen Mr.
claim himself great inventor although other men had
previously made the invention.

RecInrocitv is Right,

In answer to the statements OF
Free Trade organs that the CONNER
cial agreement with Spain cannot be-
come operative until it has been rati-
fed by the senate, the Washington
correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune directs attention to the provis-
ions of the new Tariff law, which ex-
pressly provides for the ratification
of such an agreement by the president
without consulting the senate. The
correspondent also meets the asser-
ton that the arrangement with Spain
includes a reduction of the duties on
Cuban tobacco by showing that in
the tariff law there is no provision
for chance in such duties, the only
articles named being sugar, molas-
SEES, coffee, tea and hides. In return
for the concessions placed in the dis
cretion of the President of the United
States, he is permitted to ask as
many benefits and concessions from
other countries as may appear advis-
able and feasible. The Free Trade
organs need not worry. The recipi oc-
ity negotiations are in capital hands.
which are guided by the patriotic
idea that America is, first and fore
most, for Americans. Those entrust-
ed with the negotiations fully under
stand the law and it's limitations,
and are not to be turned from their
coarse by the carping of envious and
un- American critics. Reciprocity
is all right, and so are itssupporters.
