KNOCKS EDISON OUT.
United States Supreme Court Makes an
Important Patent Decision.

Washington, March 27.-The supreme
court Of the United States today affirm
ed the decision of the lower court in
the case of Henry Ruber ct al, VS..
the Nelson Mining company, appealed
from the circuit court of the eastern
let Of Missouri.
A patent for an improvement in
water closets was issued April Z, 1874,
in Great Britain to a patentee who IS
signed to James T. Boyle. The patent
was to run fourteen years, with a pro-
yisO that if the stamp duty of f10O
was not paid within seven years from
the date of issue, the patent was to
become void. Application was made for
the patent in the United States, under
an assignment made November %,
1881, and Il patent granted June 81.
1882
Boyle then assigned to Huber. The
t1OO stamp duty was not paid in Great
Britain within the time that was
required, and the patent became void
April Z, 1888. Under these facts the
circuit court held that the patent grant
cause granted after the British patent
had ceased to exist, and this decision
was today affirmed by the supreme
court
The important result of this decision
was called to public attention by the
chief officials of the patent office. In
IS case the court decided that foreign
patents having lapsed by reason of
non-payment of taxes, and American
patent, granted thereafter for the
same invention is void.
This action, it is said at the patent
office, destroys Edison's quadrupleX tel
egraph patent, and also his three micro
phone patents. The Bell company

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Tl ere will
be an extra session of Congress and it
will convene some time in September.
There need DO no doubt about this for
the President has SO decided and made
his decision known to a Senator from
whom your correspondent received the
information to-day. The President
may, of course, change his mind, but
that is SO rare an act for him to per
form as to make its possibility I'M
worthy of consideration. The Presi-
dent shortly before the inauguration
had some thoughts of calling an extra
session for April or May, but he
has concluded that September will be
the earliest time consistent with sew
eral necessary considerations and SO
September has been decided upon.
Congress cannot be restricted to any
special business, like several State leg
lSlatureS. When in session it has the
power to consider whatsoever may
please its fancy, but it is understood
that the President in his message will
dwell on two subjects Only-the tariff
and the currency. One of the Presi-
dents reasons for not calling an extra
session earlier is his desire that a tariff
bill Of such character as to suit the
leaders of the Democratic party in Con-
greSS as well as himself shall be com
pleted ready for the immediate cOnsid-
Grafton OF Congress upon cOnvening. 1t
might be possible for old experienced
hands to frame bill earlier, but Pres
ident Cleveland intends that this bill
shall be one of extraordinary character.
A great deal depends on it for him. for
he will be praised or blamed according
to its eXcellencies or faults
All this will require time. The Presi-
dent, Secretary Carlisle and the lead
ing Democratic tariff reformers intend
to devote a large part of the summer
to framing this bill, and the President
believes that when it has been sub
mitted to Congress and the people have
had a chance to examine it they will
proclaim it work of art.
One of the men who are at work
upon the new bill in speaking of il to-
day, said: 1T Will be in harmony with
the Chicago platform. 1t will be so
arranged as to defray the expenses of
the government and nothing more"
There are those who believe that it
woul be expedient to call the extra SEES
sion earlier in order that the currency
question may be got out of the way by
the time the the tariff bill is ready for
submission. but they are wrong. Were
the question Of repeating or even sus-
pending the silver purchase act to be
submitted to Congress nothing would
be done, simply because the free silver
men are in the majority. But
the President is making inroads
on their ranks. He will continue to
do SO until September, when he will,
he believes, have SO depleted their
ranks and at the same time so increased
the strength Of the ants as TO secure
the repeal of the obnoxious act. When
Congress convenes in extra session it
will doubtless remain and merge into
the regular session.

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 27.-The po-

thousands are many children and
many sick travellers. The situation
cannot be relieved by the farmers on
