inghouse Companies. It is claimed have
reached an agreement in the matter OF
the Joint use of some OF the valuable
electrical patents. Several conferences
were held to-day between committees
OF the two companies. II was even re-
ported that an effort was being made
not only 10 pool patent rights. but also
TO control prices, exchange licenses and
divide territory Only the patent qnes-
ton, however was settled, according
to the claims made by those interested.
II was decided by the officials at a
late hour to-day to issue q statement or
what had been accomplished up TO the
present time.
According to the agreement, after
excluding several patents, the General
Electric furnishes two.thirds OF tina
patents values and the Westinghouse
one-third.
BY this Arrangement many contem-
plated and pending patent suits WIZ be
dropped which will result in saving
10 each company.
The special Incentive which led TO the
ARRANGEMENT at this time were the re-
cent decisions in favor OF patents OF
the General Electric Company, con-
trolling the overhead system 9t elec-
trio railways, the approaching tffals OK
a number OF other important general
electric patents on controllers and de.

Many Spanish volunteers have taken
the field with them. In the eastern part
Of the island over 1000 Spanish regulars
have deserted 10 the Cubans.
"Since left the army there has been
a reorganization and somc changeS.
Maceo and Gomez were about to unite

Silver Meeting.

The silver enthusiasts, and as man y
more sound money people, gathered
together at the court house last Satur-
day evening to hear a silver speech
delivered by Lie. Spooner. But in
this they were once more doomed to
disappointment, as Mr.. spooner
again made the the plea that he had
not become sufficiently versed on the
subject to warrant him in making a
public speech. Not to be out-done
and determined to at least have a
little consolation, they called on Fl. Z,
Berry, who nobly responded by send
ing forth flood of oratory about an
hours length and finally wound up
Morris tribune., 1896-08-19

by saying he guest he would have to
study the question little more, or
words to that effect. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Berry delighted his audience and
succeeded in bringing forth some
hearty applause, Notwithstanding the
fact that he kept out of reach of all
technical and explanatory points and
confined himself to a political speech
only. He failed very materially to
enlighten his hearers on facts and
figures, which is about the only thing
that talks in the present campaign.
Although it was called a silver
meeting, it was pretty hard to tell
whether the silverites or sound money
men predominated.

forty-one cents per bushel,
The ten acres that were marketed
went thirteen bushels to'the acre. At
the present writing all most all of the
farmers in this sec ton are through
cutting, except fax. Alt hough for a
time before harvest it was thought
that crops would be good throughout
the county. it is now claimed by a

of wheat to the acre. About all of
the threshing crews are at work.

Another Answer to Mac.

To the Editor of the Tribune:
Please allow me little space in
your paper to answer one Neil Nc
Laughlin, who wrote an article in
your paper some three weeks or a
month ago.
By the tone of that letter it seems
that the welfare of the people of the
United States is vested in the free
silver question, but if we study these
matters aside from party interests, we
will fine. it is not SO. We will find
that all we need in this country is a
high tariff, plenty money and restrict
ed immigration laws so that the
United States will no longer be a
dumping ground for all the poor
class of people in the old world. Hard
times will then be unknown. How
can we expect better times here with
low tariff, which, of course, causes
little work when the old world can
ship in goods cheaper than we can
manufacture them for here and by
importing half a million Of poor
people each year who all want work
As ! was born in Sweden I know
more about that country than other
parts Of Europe. Now let us figure
in that country. They pay factory
hand from 1.25, 1.5O and 2 crowns a
day. One crown is about ~ cents in
our money, and this is considered
good wages in that country. Can
they not produce goods cheaper there
than herea How can our workmen
compete with thems
