WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-Oom Paul is
taking steps TO prevent a wholesale irup-
ton of foreigners in his little country that
might result in repetition OF the Ultlander
rebellion of last spring. To this end he has
established rigid system of passports to
go into effect January 1 next. and will
require all foreigners to swear to obey the
laws of the republic. United States Minister
Quirby at The Hague has supplied the State
department with the translation of the decree
covering this topic at the re-
quest of the secretary of state Of the South
African republic. and has requested also that
publicity be given to its provisions in the
United States, from which country man!
persons have gone to the Transaal.
The decree provides that foreigners enter
ing the country must have passports from
their own government duly vleed by
consul Of the republic. The passport must
show that the foreigner has sufficient means
of subsistence or can obtain such by his
work. Failing to give this passport, proper
letter OF Identification may be accepted.
Admission to the country viii be granted by
the field cornet at the place of entry, who
will Issue travelling and resident passports
good for three months stay. These may be
renewed and foreigners desiring to settle
must make oath to obey the laws. The
decree does not apply to foreigners already

Ties Controversy out of Court
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The litigation
which has been proceeding for several years
between the American Graphophone company
of Washington and Thomas Edison and the
Edison Photograph works relative to the
talking machine patents has been brought
to an amicablc conclusion. Edison, 1t Is
stated by counsel for the Graphophone com
pany, admits the fundamental charter of the
graphophone patents, and that they control
the commercial art of sound recording ana re-
producing as it is practiced today, and agrees
to a decree of injunction in the principal
case pending in the United States circuit
court for the district Of New Jersey. The
American Graphophone company, on the
other hand. admits the validity Of patents
for various improvements which Edison has
taken out since the issue of the graphic
phone patents, and consents to DEGREES in
favor Of Edison on those patents. The enter
ing of the decree has been followed by an
exchange of licenses between the parties and
a satisfactory adjustment of all other differ
