THE BELL TELEPHONE SUIT.

BOSTON, Feb. 12.-The Boston News Bu-
reau says
1t may have passed out of the public view,
but it is nevertheless a fact, that, notwith-
standing the expiration of the Bell Telephone
patents, the United States Government is
still taking testimony, as it has been for four
years past, to annul the Bell patent on the
claim that Drawbaugh and not Alexander
Graham Bell was the original inventor of
the telephone. It is calculated that W.
years more must be consumed in taking testi-
mony by the United States officers present
ing this claim against the American Bell
Telephone Company. None of this evidence
has yet been printed, and it is estimated that
it will cost SIS, 600 to print what has thus far
been taken. The only real litigation in
telephone matters that can now be of public
interest is over the Barliner patent, and this
case, it is understood, win be tried this sum
mer. This is the patent that effects the long
distance instrument.
