The Bell Telephone Patent.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Today the
United States patent office issued
patent to Emile Berliner, assignor to
the Bell Telephone company, for a COM
bined telegraph and telephone, which
has been pending in that office since
June 4, 1877. 1t is understood that the
Bell company believes this patent COW
ers the features necessary to the practi-
cal use of telephones. The inventors do
not take that view of the patent. They
think Bells basic patent expires in
March, 1898. They will be able to pro-
duce practical telephones and not in
fringe on the Berliner patent. The
issue of this patent is the second step
taken by Commissioner Simonds, and
possibly the last which it will be neces-

MARysvILLE, Nov. 1.-THE fifteenth
annual convention OF fruit growers of
California is success beyond all its
predecessors, in point OF attendance and
the character of the programme. Ma
sonic hall was filed all day today, and
tonight's trains have brought in many
more fruit growers. In point of attract
iveness the midwinter exhibition at +
and Third streets, in room 40x80 feet,
is the finest ever seen here. Nothing
has ever been arranged like it in the
memory OF any OF the visitors. Owing
to the absence of Ellwood Cooper, pres
ident of the state board of horticulture,
Vice-P President Buck called the conyen-
tion to order. Rev. L. j. Garner offered
prayer, after which James
O'Brien delivered an address of well
come. B. +. Walton, of Sutter, and
Col. j. B. Fuller, of Yuba, were chosen
vice-presidents. Acting President Buck
then delivered his annual address, and
competent fruit men aver that it is the
most thorough and comprehensive one
ever presented to that body. Some
minor features followed this address,
and proceeded the arrival of Governor
Markham. who was accorded hearty
welcome, and who in happy
vein spoke to those assembled
on the subject of fruit-growing.
The governor was entertained at lunch,
after his address, and then driven about
the surrounding country, returning to
Sacramento on special train late in
the afternoon. The afternoon was taken
up in discussing papers on the subject
of handling green fruit for the eastern
markets. This evening an informal re-
caption is being rendered to the visiting
fruit growers and their ladies. 1t is es-
timated that about 800 are present.

WALL STREET SURPRISED.
The Nevada Bank Closing It's New York
Branch.

SAN Francisco. Nov. ia New York
special says: Vice-President Bigelow,
OF the Nevada bank of San Francisco,
has been in town for some time arrang-
ing to close up the New York agency of
the bank. The reason given for this
step is that the new management of the
bank, which assumed control about q
year and a half ago, wishes to concen-
trate its business in San Francisco. The
change will be made December 1st.
Some New York bank will be made cor
respondent for the Nevada, but which
one is not announced. The New York
agency has been in operation for thir-
teen years. 1t has always done large
business, and the report that it would
be closed caused surprise in Wall street.

THAT $50 RATE.
viee-President stubbs Says 1t VIII Hold
Good.


Good.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 17.-When dis
patch was received from st. Louis yes
terday, announcing that the Transcon-
tinental association had refused TO en-
dorse the $50 rate guaranteed by the
Southern Pacific company to delegates
to the national conventions if held in
San Francisco, Vice-President Stubbs
said: "Our guarantee of $50 rate
holds good. The st. Louis dispatch
means that the members of the associa-
ton voted against the rate as tele-
graphed from here, without considering
the full proposition. Much can be done
between the time of the announcement
and the time of holding the conventions,
and the guarantees of the Southern and
Union Pacific roads are sufficient for
the present purposes"

THE SoUhDRoy OF EVOLUTION,

The SQUADRON of Evolution has returned 70
Norfolk after a prolonged term OF service III
European waters, the South Atlantic, the 6ui
and the West Indies. This series OF cruises mas
served many excellent purposes but there are
strong grounds for urging the disarmament OF
the squadron. The four fine vessels command
ed by Admiral Walker are urgently needed at
foreign stations. In European waters there is
not now a single warShip under the American
flag. At the South Atlantic Station the Talla-
poosa and Essex do not worthily represent a
Nation which entered upon the building OF
new and modern navy nine years ago. Ihree
of the new ships are in the West Indies, with
two old cruisers, the Kearsarge and the Enter
prise. and the San Francisco is in Chiian waters {;
but the Asiatic Squadron is very weak, and the
Charleston is the only new vessel available Tor
service at San Francisco. Instead OF continuing
the evolution cruising indefinitely, the Navy
Department would do well to consider the ex-
pediency of sending at least three Of the ships
to stations where they are needed.
The Alliance, one of the best of the old ships,
is now at Yokohama with the ancient and bat
tered Monocacy and the Palos which can hard
" be considered a warship at ALL is the only
other vessel now with the Asatic Squadron
The Omaha is returning to San Francisco, and
the Marion has been ordered to the station.
The Lancaster in the course of time will arrive
at Yokohama from NewYorll and become the
flagship but even with this time-honored relic
of the old navy in Asiatic waters the squadron
will not be a creditabe one. One OF the new
ships ought to be sent out to the station, and
another to the South Atlantic, where the Ialla-
poosa has excited rdcule for many years. AS
for European waters, the time has passed when
any old-time ship can fly the American flag
there without bringing the navy into disrepute.
One of the best cruisers should be permanently
Stationed in the Mediterranean by the dis
tribution of the vessels now in the Squadron OF
Evolution among the foreign stations four old
ships could be brought home and put out OF
commission This would be great gain to
The service.
Admiral Walker has made excellent use OF
his opportunity for improving the discipline Of
the service and accustoming officers and men
TO handling modern ships-of-war. The purpose
for which the squadron was organized has been
accomplished The ships are needed at foreign
stations, and ought not TO be kept together LILY
longer under one commander.
