Ives scored very rapidly, and by mas

FOREIGN PATENTS.
How Far Do They Apply TO Inven-
tions in This Country?

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-Argument was
begun in the United States Supreme Court
to-day in the Sc OF the Bate Refrigerator
Company VS.. SchwarZcbild & SulZberger
The case is considered a very important
one, as its decision is expected TO decide
the important print of how far the life Of a
patent Ia this country is affected by the
existence of patent rights in foreign coun-
tries. The case comes to the Supreme
Court on question certified from the
United States Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit. the question being whether
1.-THE invention for which the patent was
issued has been previously patented in a
foreign country within the meaning Of
section 1887 of the Revised Statutes, and
whether the patent expired under the
terms of this section before the expiration
of the term OF seventeen years from its
date"
The point thus raised has long been a
question OF controversy. and affected
many patents. including Edison's mean
desc ent lamp.

OXFORD AND YALE.
There Have Been No Negotiations
for a Roatrace.

OXFORD. England. Nov. 15.-Mr. Pitt
man, president OF the Oxford University
Rowing Club, says there is no found ton
for the reports circulated in the United
States that negotiations are in progress
for an international eightoared boatrace
between Oxford and Yale. Oxford, says
Mr.. Pittmap, has received no letters on
the subject from Yale nor from Robert j.
Cook. the Yale coach, who is reported to
be in Europe for the purpose of negoti-
ating match between Oxford and Yale,
and Oxford has certainly not sent chal-
lenge to Yale. Finally Mr.. Pittman says
that MIR. Cook has not even visited OK
ford, and nothing is known among the
Oxford oarsmen of his coming. Mr.. Pitt
man said that he regretted The repetition
of these rumors. as they distinctly tended
to diminish the chances Of match being
made. But If challenge is sent, or il Mr.
Cook does come 10 this city for the pur-
pose of negotiating for race, the matter
will receive the attention OF Oxford.

In the fourth round Baker started In to

have knocked him out had he followed
him. However, as Baker was on his feet
at the end of the round he was declared
the winner. Hall complained that his
stomach was weak and that he was unable
to exert his full strength.
Hall knocked Billy Woods down in the

ing a. every opportunity. He repeated
these tactics throughout the fight and
managed TO stay the four rounds.

MIR. Maxwell in his report emphasizes
the necessity that the public should report
every depreciation upon the mails. whether

receive the earnest attention of the de-
par!ment During the year 56,S77 COM
plants were received affecting the ordl.
nary mail. 31,1s1 of these referring to
letters and 25,696 to packages. a decrease
o OF 1888 as compared with last year.
Mr.. Maxwell cautions the public against
sending valuable Enclosures in the foreign
ordinary mail, for while the international
mail facilities afforded under Government
protection have the entire confidence of
the people, the records made of such mail
in transit are meager and greatly diminish
tie possibility Of tracing articles and
locating losses.
Mr.. Maxwell urges the necessity of in
creased appropriations and the payment OF
rewards as promising tie best results
looking to the conviction of postal thieves.
He also urges the necessity Of moro strIn-
gent statutes bearing upon green goods
and obscene matter.
