BELL TELEPHONE PATENTS.
Mr.. Ulrich Thinks 1t Is About Time
They Were Killed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Representativ
Childs of illinois has presented memorial
in the House protesting against proposed
patent legislation on the ground that 1t is
to the interest Of the American Bell Tele-
phone Company. The memorial is signed
by Charles q. Ulricb, who was solicitor
general under the last administration, ana
assisted by several bills introduced In
Congress in an attempt made to secure
an amendment TO tie revised statutes, SO
that domestic patent shall not be limited
in its duration by the expiration OF
foreign patent unless the patent IN
foreign country has been granted prior 10
the date of the filing Of the application In
this country. He claims that the American
Bell Telephone Company is vitality inter-
ested in this proposed legislation and
great wrong would be done the American
people should the law be changed. He
cites number of patents for which appu-
cations have been filed. and says the legis-
lation proposed will proloDg the life OF the
Bell Telephone Company'S monopoly for
seventeen years from the date Of It's last
patent, March Z, 1S93 He suggests legis-
Iation relating in explicit terms that the
domestic patents shall expire at the same
time as the foreign patent without refer
ence TO the time when the application was
made, and suggests that the monopoly Of
patent shall cease seventeen years after 1t
first came into use without reference TO
the time when the patent was allowed OF
issued. He also suggests that patent con-
troversies should be appealed directly TO
the Supreme Court that suitors might
secure a final settlement as early as

Asiatic war Is going to play the mischief
with the cable companies. and from now
on crippled service 20 all points in China
and Japan may be expected.
The briefness of the cablegrams from
Shanghai and Hong-Kong relative to the
trouble is due to the fact that the wires
that tap the interior Of Oriental countries
are nearly all controlled by the Govern
ment, and press censorship has been
established in many districts. News
directly from the seat of war is destined
to be of a very unsatisfactory character.
On account of The heavy tolls dispatches
from Japan and China seldom come direct
from interior places. Even news from
Shanghai. Yokohama and Hong-Kong
must necessarily be abbreviated. for not
withstanding the fact that press rates are.
in the m after of cable specials, about one
third the commercial rates, their cost is
something appalling when full details"
are ordered.
Messages for the Orient are now routed
"via Eastern" or India. The Siberian
land line, being under the eye OF the Car,
is practically closed on account of the
present difficulties over Korea.
The cable that forms the main link in the
route from ENGLAND 10 India, and which is
al present burdened with nearly all of the
press and commercial matter filed from
China and Japan, Is the longest Morse
cable circuit in the world, covering a
stretch of 1900 miles in one section. 1t
operates from Bushire. Persia, to Kurra-
chee, India.
The Indo-European Cable Company
works the Morse system from England to
Germany, through Russia. along the Black
Sea, crossing the Caucasus Mountains.
The great northern land route to Asia,
which up to few days ago carried about
60 per cent of the messages filed from that
country, is the longest land line in the
world. 1t extends from st. Petersburg TO
Vladivostock. Most of the news cleaned
in the section covered by this wire is for
warded by mail to the nearest pOstoffice
and from there to London. Nearly all
foreign news, especially the news now re-
ceived from the seat of war, gathered out
side of Germany, France and England,
destined for the United States, is refiled at
London.
1t is the opinion Of those in position 10
speak authenticity that all reliable news
from the Orient will be received by
steamer, as the Governments of China and
Japan are sure to take hand in the for
warding of war dispatches. Hong Kong
being an English port. and the cable offices
at other important Oriental points being
controlled by foreigners. it is possible that
accurate information will be received from
those places. But when specials come
from out of the way ports it will be hard
to determine how truthful they may be.

Informant further stated that when
matters were becoming serious, Resi-

asking that Liu Ming uan be sent over
to Korea TO lead the Chinese troops, and
that he be given full power without the
necessity of appealing to Peking for
instructions. This was in anticipa-
tion of the telegraph lines being cut should
