TELEPHONE PATENT ISSUED.
To-day the United States Patent Office
to the Bell Telephone, for a combined tele-
graph and telephone, which has been pend
ing in that office since June 4, 1877. 1t is
understood the Bell Company believes this
patent covers the features necessary to the
practical use of telephones. Inventors do
not take that view of the patent. They
think when Bells basic patent expires in
March, 1898, they will be able to produce
practical telephone not infringing on the
Berlner patent. The issue OF this patent
is the second step taken by Commissioner
Simonds, and possibly the last which it
will be necessary to take to practically dis
pose Of the long-eXisting tange OF tele-
phone litigation in the Patent Office.

Report Of the LiquidatOr on the Financial
Situation.

the Seine Tribunal, says the agreement
reached in the negotiations with the

the hopes of the LiQuidator. He trusts,
however, the Government Of Colombia will
accept notifications of the agreement after
the new company has BEEN constituted.
Negotiations of the Credit Foncier with the
French Government in regard 10 tile forma-
tion of the new Panama Canal Company
continue. If the Government refuses TO
intervene in the matter, the great enter
prise must be definitively condemned and
the work Of liquidation carried through.
1t is known, continues the officer in his
report, that the United States Government
Is watching for favorable opportunity 10
obtain control of the canal at a small cost,
without taking into account the services al
ready rendered in the undertaking. The
only way out of the difficulty, he declares,
IS for seml-official pressure to be brought
to bear on the Governor of the Credit Fon-
cler, TO induce him to bring the matter TO
satisfactory ISSUE The report dilates
upon the enormous difficulties which pre-
sent themselves in the attempt TO realize on
and Distribute tie canal company's assets.
1t concludes by saying Tie best means to
overcome these difficulties is for the Senate
and Chamber Of Deputies to pass law as
slmliatIng the differences la the procedure
Of liquidation and bankruptcy so as to en-
able the liquidator to have the power to sell
the entire property as it stands. or to realize
on the available assets and distribute the
proceeds.

and down the street in an excited way, calf
ing upon the firemen to save them The
fears of SchDabel were not realized The
widest excitement existed among the
people in the neghbOrhood. and the streets
were filled with half-dressed crying women
and frantic men. AT 3 o'clock the whole
row, consisting Of several frame houses, was
in flames, and every available engine in
Brooklyn was fighting the fire.
Wild rumors were circulated of whole
families being lost in the fire. but they
proved to be groundlcss. The loss on the
