THE PosTAL oABLE,s APPEAL.
The Hearing of the Telephone suit In tlss
Circuit Court in philadelphia,

II is expected that the appeal of the Della
ware and Atlantic Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company from the decision of
Judge Wales, in the United States district
court here last year, ordering that com
pany TO furnish telephone facilities to the
local agency Of the Postal Telegraph and
Gable Company will be heard in The dr.
cult court Of appeals early this week.
Judge Acheson and two other district
judges will sit in the court. Edward q.
Bradford of this city and Charles l.. Buck
ingham Of New York will appear for the
REALTORS and George II. Bates Of this city
and II. $. Guernsey of New York for the
respondents.
The Postal Cable Company asks for
similar telephone facilities in this CITY
with those accorded by the Delaware and
Atlantic Telephone Company 10 the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. This the
telephone company refused, but sffercd to
furnish telephone machine to tie local
office Of the postal company at Tnird and
| Market streets. on condition that the
latter do not use the telephone in trans
hitting any of its telegraph business. The
postal company declined the proposition
under those terms and Immediately en-
tered suit in the United States district
court on the grounds of discrimination.
The postal company asserted itself as
| standing on similar grounds with the
| Western Union Telegraph Company and
claimed equal rights from the possessor of
of public patent such as that under the
privileges enjoyed by the Delaware and
Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone Com
| pany, and that under these facts the cm-
barge laid upon it and the discrimination
in favor Of the Western Union company, a
rival and competitor in the same business,
is illegal.
Judge Wales decided that the reasons
alleged by the Delaware g. Atlantic Tcle-
graph and Telephone Company for its re-
! fusal to furnish the local office of the
| Postal Cable Company with telephone
free of the exaction demanded are INSULT
cient and ordered writ Of mandamus
issued compelling the telephone company
to furnish a telephone machine to the
the Postal company on similar basis as
that granted the Western Union company.

There May be Further Complications
in the Panama Canal Scandal

PARIS, Dec. THE new cabinet
formed by NJ, Ribot held its first meet
ing yesterday. A draft of the policy of
the ministry was approved, and the pro-
gramn:e will be read in the chamber of
deputies when that body reassembles to-
morrow.
The Journal Des Debates says that the
country will experience feeling of re-
lief at the termination of the crisis, and
expresses the hope that the ministry will
be firmer IN the direction of affairs than
was the last cabinet.
The Gaulois says that unless the min
isterial declaration announces the in.
tention of the government to forward
with its utmost power the work OF the
Panama investigating committee, it will
be asked for an explanation.
The ministers have agreed regarding
the Panama inquiry that a distinct line
shall be drawn between the powers of
the judiciary and the legislature.
The Panama committee will support
in the chamber of deputies the Boisserin
bill, which gives to the. committee the
right to summon witnesses, to punish
those who commit perjury or make
libellous denunciations, or who refuse to
give evidence, or who are guilty or con.
tempt of the committee. The bill also
gives the committee power to issue war
rants for the searching of houses and the
seizure of documents
1t is reported that NJ. Ribot, the new
prime minister, and NJ. Bourgeois. min
lister OF justice, will not assent to grant
ing the committee the extraordinary
powers involved in the bill. If the cham
Der of deputies refuses to accept nodifi-
cations in the measure the crisis will as
sumo most acute phase, andit is highly
probable that the chamber will be dis
solved,
