Arrive and Are at the City Hall
Their Monied Captain Has Fled.
One of the freight trains on the
Southern Pacific road brought a
car load of unemployed men to San
Antonio this morning. They re-
paired as soon as possible to the
city hall under command of their
chosen captain, Jacob Bauer. City
Marshal Druse went out and pur-
chased some food for the strangers
and they heartily enjoyed a
square meal in the carpenters
room in the basement of the build
ing.
While the men were busily en-,
gagged in eating, Jacob Bauer, who
had been chosen as captain, disap-
peared. A search was made for
him but he could not be located.
1t was afterwards learned that the
city marshal of Los Angeles, Cal,
had given Bauer SIG to provide his
men with bread, and not having
had an opportunity to spend it, he
concluded to pocket the cash and
desert his starving companions.

TARIFF TALK.
What the Committee Could Do if
Let Alone.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Many
stories have been in circulation
about the tariff, and what the Ways
and Means committee was doing,
and what it could do, if Con-
gress should adjourn, and let
it alone. After the silver bill had
passed the House, Mr.. Wilson,
chairman of the committee
on Ways and Means, expressed
the opinion that an adjournment
would be preferable, because the
Committee would be unable to re-
port the bill by the Doth of Novem-
Der. 1t seems that it is liable to
be construed that the majority
of the members of the Com
mittee would not be ready
to report at that time, or to allow
the Republican majority to see the
bill and prepare report. Suisse
quent events, and especially the
desire of Mr.. Wilson that
the committee be authorized
to sit. 70. and file their report
report on the tariff bill with the
clerk of the House during the in
terview of Congress indicates that
the bill is much nearer compile
ton than would be anticipated by
the declaration, that the bill would
not be ready to report before the
first of December. 1t is part of
the plan Of the majority that as
soon as the tariff bill is completed
by them to submit it to the Re-
publicans who will be given about
ten days to prepare a minority
report.

A Suit Concerning the Bell Patents

A Suit Concerning the Bell Patents.
New YORK, Nov. 3. - In the
United States Circuit court yester-
day Judge Lacombe granted a pre-
liminary injunction to the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone company
against John s. Steenburg for an
infringement of letters patent
granted to Alexander Graham Bell
January 30, 1877. A similar order
has been asked for against Lewis
II. Multer and William Harvest
for violating the same patent,
and hearing has been fixed
for today. On account of
the violation of the patent
rights the company states thrt the
defendants have been enabled to
furnish telephones containing the
invention at prices lower than
those established by the plaintiff.
Telephones using the invention
are small instruments used in pri-
vate circuits and so easily transfer
able, it is said, as to make it i'm
possible to trace and sue each in
dividual using them. The success
of the suit will complete the
monopoly of the American Bell
Telephone company.
