METEOROLOGICAL.


We do not profess to be very meteoro-
logical, but we feel moved to offer theory
concerning the cause of the storm which
has just visited us. Our idea is that 1t
was caused by the meeting of the violent
currents of silver and anti-silver wind
which have been flowing through the
country for the last month. 1t is surpris-
ing that the disturbance has not come be-
fore, and it is not surprising that it was SO
violent when 1t did come, for we suppose
there has never been a time In the hietory
of tho country when the wind currents
were so large and wild as the pro silver
and anti-silver wind currents have been.
1t is to be hoped that all the wind bags
will take warning by what has happened
and try to avoid the production of another
cyclone. One is enough.

NO CHEAP TELEPHONES TEr.
IT VIII be Several Years Now Before Al
OF the Patents Expire.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 23.-As the
result from inquiries made at the Patent
Office and elsewhere the inference is de-
rived that contrary TO general expecta-
ton there is small prospect that any relief
will come 10 telephone subscribers as
the result Of the expiration OF the princi-
pal patents combined in the instrument
now in use by the public That is the
opinion Of officials Of the Patent ONCE,
who. while the matter Of the patents
themselves has passed beyond their turis-
diction, yet have more or less intimate
knowledge Of the subject, growing out OF
years of experience and association with
the business. The opinion Of the depart
ment upon the Berliner claim. which was
rendered about a year ago, cleared the
dockets Of the office 50 far as patents
upon the principle of telephony was con-
cerned. The situation Is about this:
The Bell Telephone Company has so
compieteiy covered the field with its wires
and exchanges that it will be exceedingly
difficult. practically impossible. 1t Is be-
lieved. for any opposition TO successfully
establish itself In cities and towns not
already provided with telephone service
a new company might have an equal
chance with the Bell Company but that
is the extent OF probable competition.
Another fact which will operate to pre-
vent any material decrease in the rate OF
telephone rentals is that while patents on
the transmtter ssad the principle or
transmitting sound by electricity have eX-
plred. the telephone in general use Is
combination OF more than 200 patents,
many Of which are comparatively new
and have therefore long terms TO run.
With these conditions obtaining new
service, in the estimation Of patent Off
clals, would necessarily be inferior to
the present one and for that reason would
fail to furnish effective competition.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. Especial.
The Senate subcommittee which has IN
charge the consideration Of the Norfolk
and Western bill under which the road
enters the District met this afternoon.
The committee IS composed OF Senators
Faulkner. McMillin and Gibson. The COM
plexiOn Of the committee Is obviously
against the bill. and seems TO portend
its defeat. Senator Faulkner IS in favor

TO IT, and Senator Gibson is the defeated

ence, was made Senator, and who, It is
safe TO predict. is only on this committee
to do his chiefs bidding in the interests
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The

ent to-day in the person Of Attorney
Bond, and submitted an amendment, al
lowing the Washington and Ohio road
to come in over the Norfolk and Western
tracks within five miles OF the Long
bridge This or any other amendment
would throw the bill back into the House
and result In its defeat or failure 70 get
through this session.
Mr. John X COwan. of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and Mr.. w. G. Bullet,
Of the Norfolk and Western, were present
to-day The subcommittee will report 10
the full District committee on Friday and
its present makeup is not favorable TO
the passage Of the bill.

THE SUITS DISMISSED.
That Of the South Carolina Railroads for
Want of Jurisdiction

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S.-The
United States Supreme Court has dismiss
ed for want OF jurisdiction, with drec-
tions to the United States Circuit Court
for the District OF South Carolina TO do
likewise. the suits brought by the North
eastern Railroad Company and the Cen
trail Railroad Company against Walter
and others to enjoin the county officers
from collecting tazes imposed on the
railroads by the STATE.
The taxes were State, county and school
taxes The Tillman board of equalization
assessed the railroad property at higher
rate than other property, and II was
claimed that this was unconstitutional.
The question at issue has stirred up
the railroad companies Of the State. and
has been a political issue as we'll between
two wings of South Carolina Democracy.
II is held that jurisdiction cannot be made
TO attach by combining various forms Of
tax In a number Of counties, and thus
swelling the total amount involved TO
above $1,000 the amount necessary TO
take the case into the Federal court.
The merits of the case were not gone into.
