TELEPHONES.
Important Decision by the
Commissioner Of Patents
Which Brings to an End a Long
Standing Contest.

Patent Issued for the Edison Tele
phone Which is Now in the Hands al
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany-The Bell Patent Expires in {
Year, While the Other Runs Seventeen
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Commissionel
of Patents Simonds Tuesday issued a
patent for the Edison telephone, as
signed to the Western Union Telegraph
company. The Bell telephone patent
expires in May, 1898, and the Edison
patent issued will run for seventeen
years. The action ends long standing
contest.
The three patents granted to Edison
are for improvements in telephoning and
have been in use by the Bell company
for ten years. Two of them are EN-,
bodied in the Blake transmitter. The
other is for d microphone in which the
electrodes have broad surfaces. There
were applications pending by other per
sons for the same inventions, so that the
Edison patent could not issue until the
rights Of the others had been deter
mined.
May Not be valid.
Foreign patents for the Edison inven-
ton have been issued, some of which
have expired, and there will be a ques
ton whether an American patent issued
after a foreign patent has expired is
valid. 1t is likely that the question will
be brought up before the United States
supreme court for final disposition.

OKLAHoMA'S APPEAL.

On Thursday the House committee on
territories gave hearing to delegation
from Oklahoma asking statehood for the
territory named and Indian Territory. tt
was an earnest appeal which the gentle
men named, and one which should be-
promptly answered by granting the re-
quest. One of the men said that If the re-
lief asked were denied this session. s.you
will be forced 10 pass the bill at the next.
for there will be 100000 people in the two
territories before the close of this Con
gress." The statement probably overshot
the mark 80 per cent, as great as the rush
into the new territory is it is not
likely the population will exceed
100000, including the Indians, by
the expiration of the present Congress q
year hence. But that is neither here nor
there. The people in the dependencies to-
day want self-government That fact
itself should 60 long way towards decid-
ing the appeal in their favor, it being
known that they are willing and able to
bear the increased financial burdens which
statehood will put upon them. 1t occurs
