THE GRAPHOPHONE SUIT.
Judge Green Desires to Hear the Case
on Its Merits.

ON It's Merits.
A dispatch from Trenton, N. J., published
In New York yesterday, stated that Judge
Green, in the United States court had re-
fused to grant the injunction sought by the
American Graphophone Company restrain
ing the Edison Photograph Company from
operating under the Edison patents; that
similar suits were brought in New York,
Ohio and other states, and that the decis-
ion of the United States court adverse to
the plaintiff will, it is thought, govern the
decisions in other states. The American
Graphophone Company, whose main office
Is In Washington, states that the publica-
ton In question is untrue in almost every
particular. and is believed to have been in
spired with a view of misleading the pub
lie. Judge Green, the company explains,
denied motion made by the American
Graphophone Company for preliminary
injunction against the United States Pho
nosraph Company, subordinate of the
Edison monograph Company-not the Ed
son monograph Company-the denial OF
the motion being merely that the case
might be heard on its merits after testi-
mony on both sides. The decision in no
way, the graphophone people say, affects
other suits pending, nor the merits of this
suit. In the main case of the American
Graphophone Company against the Edison
monograph Company, in the same court,
the Edison company has interposed plea

thus practically, it is claimed. admitting
the validity of those patents. This plea is
to be argued in Trenton next week. The
publication in question also states that the
effort on the part of the American GRAPHIC
phone Company was to restrain the Edison
company from operating under Edison pat
ents. The Edison company owns the Edi-
son patents, and, therefore, has a right to
use them. The object of the suits is, it is
said. to prevent the Edison company from
infringing graphophone patents, without
which, the graphophone company claims

Said to He Caused by the "Crushing Out"
Policy Of tho Standard.
Boston, April l8.-The Standard
publishes an interview with Foster D.
Edwards, agent of the Commercial Re-
fining company in this city and one Of
the leading representatives Of the inde-
pendent oil interests, concerning the
rise in oil. Mr. Edwards said in part:
"The immediate cause of the advance
is that the supply is not equal to the
demand, but the scarcity was brought
out by the attempt of the trust to crush
it's competitors out of existence. The
reason the Standard Oil company has
been able to manipulate the oil industry
as it has, is because it unites in it's
business all three branches pro.
ducing, refining and distributing
whereas these several branches We're
not combined in interest among the in.
dependent dealers. NV idea at first
was that the Standard people were
afraid that if they con ntinued to keep
the prices down, the producers, refiners
and distributors would unite for the
protection of each other, and I don't
know but / am right

believed England WIN Try That Method

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Officials here
profess to have no information as yet as
to the instructions sent to British war
vessels for the enforcement of the ulti-
matum against Nicaragua. Those in
position TO understand the status Of
affairs, however. express the belief that
the British intructions are on the fol-
lowing lines:
First-There shall be no exercise of
fore. whi, b will affect the commerce or
the interests of the United States or
her citizens, or of other foreign coun-
tries.
Second-The exercise Of force shall
be confined to the execution of "pas-
sive blockade" Of Nicaragua ports. &C.
cording to the established rules for that
manoeuver.
The passive blockade is designed
to cripple the international commerce
of Nicaragua, and yet to leave all the
foreign commerce to proceed as usual.
1t does not contemplate any overt act,
or any seizure or detention Of property.

keeping it thus paralyzed until a salts.

IGNORANCE OF DIPLOMACY.

Gazette. commenting upon the latest
developments in the dispute between
Great Britain and Nicaragua, says:
There is wonderful ignorance Of
diplomacy upon the part Of the Ameri-
can journalists. Why should we want
to lombard Greytown? If Nicaragua
has been SO foolish as to refuse to pay
the indemnity which, with the knowl-
edge of the United States, we
demanded, we shall take such
steps as the American government was
perfectly aware of at the time of ask
ing. The Monroe doctrine has been a
doctrine for e2 years and has not been
acted upon yet. When Great Britain has
serious d fferences to settle with South
American r,publics, it will not be pre-
vented fro,a Going SO by anything but
settled international law"

hearing the arguments in three cases to
which various settlers in Iowa OH the

lines are parties. The cases involve the
ownership Of about 22, 600 acres of land
along the lines of these roads, which
the Sioux City company claims was
granted to it by the government of the
United States in 1864. 1t is claimed Oh

by failure to build part of its line
within the time specified in the act
The lands have all been settled and i'm,

TO DIZZY HEIGHTS
Oh Spectators at Pittsburg
Are Afraid to Trade at
Present Prices.
Mr.. KIRK PROGNOSTICATES
The Present Boom Will Lift the
Country Out Of the Finan-
cial Dumps.

PITTsBURa, April 18.-Oil has now
reached that dizzy height where specu-
lators are afraid to deal in it, and as
result, there was not sale ON the Pitts
burg exchange during the first half
hour, while the sales ON the Oil City
exchange during the same period ag-
gregated only 1000 barrels. The Stand
ard again put up its price % cents, to
81. 80, and May option was offered here
at the opening for 81. 20. Cash oil was
offered at ~. 66. There were no buyers
and the price gradually dropped to
~. 81, then to q. 81, and at 1O:3O a. m.
81. IS was bid. While many brokers
are predicting g oil this week, few of
them have suffient faith in their own
prophecy to invest.
VIII Help Business.
David Kirk, one Of the best posted
men in the oil business, in discussing
the present boom in oil said:
Petroleum will be the means of
bringing the country out Of the period
of depression that has prevailed for the
past two years. That was the case in
1878 when our finances were at low
ebb. Oil made the first advance and
as it went up in price the business of
the country improved. The same was
true in 1884.
The Most Important Effect
of the increased price on the finances
of the country will be the increase in
the amount of gold brought into the
country in payment for the petroleum
we export. Oil is paid for in yellow
gold and is one of our most important
exports. We ship something like 2O,.
OOO, 900 barrel annually, and with the
price hanging about so cents, the ag.
gregate receipts from this source only
amount to about $lO,OOO,OO Now
with oil at the present price we would
receive something like $45, ,OOO,O 600 for
our exports. This would be a clear gain
Of $35, ,OOO, 900 year, which would &c
towards offsetting the heavy exports OF
gold during the past two years.
"But that is not the only evidences
we have. There are other influence.
at work. There are internal improve
ments that are already here and will
continue to grow all the year. Ou1
manufacturers are already feeling the
boom. I think the oil interests will
use considerably more than twice Al
much iron of all kinds this year as they
did last. This will give employment
to hosts Of men who will become gooG
buyers and so create better market fol
all kinds Of merchandise"
