municated to the Secretary Of State, it is
known as fact that the President Of the
Swiss Confederation has compiled with
the joint request Of the Governments of
the United States and Chile for the ap-
pointment of a member of the interna-

Commissioned Seymour of the Patent
Office to-day rendered a decision in the
disbarment proceedings against Foster &
freeman, attorneys for the Bell Telephone
Company, and William Simonds. late Com
missioner OF Patents. Seymour finds that
Foster & freeman were not guilty of any
wrongdoing as charged. and as to the ex-
Commissioner, Seymour finds that what
he did was within his discretion as Com
missioner, and the taking of copies Of the
Drawbaugh application, especially as he
had the consent of Secretary Noble to do
so. was not. under the rules of the office,
matter Of which Seymour could be cogni.
Zant. The complaint, therefore, against
all the parties Is di smissed.
The decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court in the case Of the Union Pa
cifc VS.. Goodridge, just reported, holds
that all shippers must be treated by car

recognizes the right of the law -making
bodies to regulate railways through rail-
way comm ssons. especially that feature
OF State and Federal regulation which
requires carriers to obtain the permission
of the commission before granting lower
rates to persons and places.
The case was brought under statute of
Colorado. which prohibits discrimination
in practically the same language as en-
ployed in the interstate commerce law.
The discrimination was charged on ship
ments of coal to Denver.
