FAR-REAcHiNG TELEPHONE ORDER
Practically Puts an End to the Western
Electric companys Exclusive Manu.
featuring Riqhts

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. Sin the United
States Circuit Court yesterday Judge
Showalter issued an order of far-reaching
Importance TO the telephone industry in
which the court practically puts an end to
the alleged right of exclusive manufactu ture
held by the Western Electric Company.
The order or entry made in the case is to
the effect that the Watson telephone
switch patent had expired July 30, 1896
by virtue of Its having been taken out in
Canada by the inventor July sc, 1880. The
discovery that Canadian patent had
been issued on the invention was made
only recently by the Western Telephone
Construction Company, which concern
was the principal defendant in the suit
brought by the combined Bell and West
ern electric com bination. The court has
had the case in which the Western Elec-
| iric Company charged infringement under
advisement since last summer and in the
meantime the Western Telephone Con-
struction Company discovered this new
evidence.
Aside from ordering the admission of
this testimony yesterday Judge Showalter
could do nothing further until he renders
his decision.
Under the decision in the Bates refrige-
rator case the discovery of the Canadian
patent shorte1s the life of the Watson
concession five years, it having been ruled
that patent taken out in foreign coun-
try acts against later patent issued in
this country,

Long Conflict Over the Famous Do
ceased Wife's Sister Bill
The famous deceased wife's sister bill Is
at this moment nearer to passage by the
English Parliament than ever before in
its long and eventful history.
The bill, as some Americans may not
know, seeks to repeal the existing statute
making the marriage 6f a widower with
the sister of his deceased wife null and in
cestuous. Such a statute remains on the
statute-books of England alone OF all
civilized or uncivilized countries. Even
In the British colonies and dependencies
from one end of the empire to the other,
such marriages are permitted. The in
hibitioD was raised in France sixty years
ago. and i'll Germany and Scandinavian
countries even earlier. In countries sub
iect to e spiritual rule of the Church of
Rome such marriages are nominallv for
hidden, but are allowed by dispensation.
The history of the repeating bill in Eng
land affords one of the most amusing ex-
amples OF British clerical obstinacy. For

measures Of the United STATES consulate
in that city are now being enforced
Hitherto the United States Consul has ex-

after shipments had been effected, but
acting under instructions from Washing

Equalization of invoices before or con-

The exports of raw sugar from Ham,
burg has taken on such large dimensions
that on Friday five vessels were engaged
at the same time in loading with 10, 300
largely due, however, to the desire of the
dealers to get as much raw sugar out of
the country as possible before the new
sugar law goes into effect.
The great increase in the importa ton
Of American apples into Germany has led
the agrarian newspapers to agitate in
favor of the Government taking measures
to prohibit further imports, alleging that

Apropos of the attempts OF the agra
rians to restrict American exports gener-
ally the North German Gazette saws that
American newspapers are badly informed
when they assert that the German Gov
ernment contemplates placing further
restrictions upon the importation oil
American products. The statement that

neous.

W. j. Bryan Wiu Nolc Devote Himself TO
the Coming Exposition.
LINCOLN, NEBR-, Nov. S.-W. J. Bryan,
as president of the Trans Mississippi con.
gress, is interesting himself in that enter
prise, and since the election result became
known has received a number of calls
from Omaha gentlemen and others urging
him to call a meeting of the congress at as
early date as practicable. The congress
originated the exposition as a means of
bringing trans s-Mississippi States together
in closer union. Omaha was selected as
the site of the proposed exhibition. Iowa
and Louisiana Legislatures have met since
plans for the exposition were perfected,
and each made appropriations to defray
preliminary expenses for arranging State
exhibit.
Legislatures OF other Western States
will meet in January, and those inter-
es.ed in the exposition want an early
meeting of the Trans Mississippi Con-
gross, so that plans may be arranged to
induce Legislatures of Western States to
set aside funds for State exhibits.
These matters were discussed with Mr.
Bryan, ano he was authorized to do what he
could to furthe: the interests of the expo
sition. The visiting delegation wants the
Trans Mississippi Congress to meet about
Decemb Der Is. No definite action has been
taken by Mr. Bryan, but it is understood
that the annual meeting will be held not
later than that date. The meeting place
this year is Salt Lake.

Say the Dingley Bill Can Be
Enacted at the Short
Session.
THIS Is HIGHLY IMPROBABLE.
An Extra Session, New Senate and
NV President Seem to
Be Necessary.

WASHINGTON, D. e., Nov. s.-Sena-
tors Quay and Sherman have within the
past few days expressed the confident
opinion that at the coming short session
of Congress an effort will again be made
to pass the Dingley tariff bill through
Congress. This effort, if successful, would
obviate the necessity for calling the new
Congress in extra session Immediately
after the Inauguration of Mr.. Mckinley.
1t is therefore conceded that it would be
most desirable TO clear up the difficulty
now embarrassing the treasury.
Unfortunately, however, in spite of the
fact that two Senators so eminent in their
party's council as Messrs. Quay and Sher-
man have asserted the probability of the
passage of the Dingley emergency bill, it
does not seem likely the measure can pass
the Senate. In the first place, the Re-
publicans lack far too many votes to make
a solid compact majority for any party
measure like tariff bill.
The coming short session, at which Mr..
Quay belives tariff bill can be passed,
will see in their seats on the Democratic
side Messrs. Gibson, Brice. Hill, Palmer
and Blackburn, all of whom will be sue
ceeded next year by Republicans, but all
of whom would talk and vote against q
tariff bill, and who would glory in de-
voting their last days in Congress to the
defeat of any tariff legislation. More
over, it is short session, and at the short
session the Appropriations Committee has
full say IN the Senate.
Conceding that the Senate Finance Com
mittee, which at the present time is still
in the power of the free-silver Senators,
could report the bill 10 the Senate with
only the usual routine delay OF the Senate
committee, it would still be some time in
January before the measure could be called
up in that body. With only six or eight
weeks remaining to the session in which
the thirteen Indispensable appropriation
bills must be passed, it is easy to see how
it is possible for few Democratic Sena-
tors to talk tariff until the Appropriations
Com mittee would peremptorily demand
the withdrawal OF the measure. Besides,
it appears to be forgotten in Mr.. Quay s
programme that Mr.. Cleveland is still in
the White House. and that even if the bill
passed both branches of Congress it would
meet prompt veto at the other end of the
avenue.
IL is tHe HeHeral pellei InaI no serious
attempt will be made to pass the Dingley
bill, but that an extra session of the new
Congress will be called, at which a care
fully drawn protective tariff bill yielding
ample revenue will be adopted, and at
which bill may also be passed author
izing the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue short-term Iow-interest bonds suf-
fcient to meet any emergency that may
arise until the new tariff bill will bring i'll
sufficient revenue to enable the Government
to meet all its expenditures.

POSTAL SERVICE REPORT
Great Saving During the Year
and Improvement in
Delivery.
The Franking Privilege Abused Dur.
Ing the Campaign-A Penalty
Recommended.

w WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov, s.-First
Assistant Postmaster General Frank
Jones. in his annual report for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1896, states that
there has during that time been a saving
of $3.278.985, and also shows an improve
ment in the service OF delivering the vol
u me of mail matter.
The number of Presidential postoffices
is 1854, the salaries of postmasters being
Sc, 203, 900, and the total gross receipts
from these offices were $50, ,2S2, 364.
Mr.. Jones recommends that SIT, ,000, ,00O
be appropriated to compensate postmas-
ters for the next fiscal year. He asks only
Sill, 900 for clerk hire, considerable
decrease in proportion to the increase OF
clerks to be employed. He recommends
that $75. 600 be appropriated for the rental
and purchase of canoeing mochines He
thinks that $4,000 is sufficient sum to
cover advertising expenses regarding un-
claimed letters and advocates the adop-
ton of the bulletin-board system in this
matter. He recommends that ten in
spectors be assigned to look after the work
in the salary and allowance branch of the
service.
Free delivery service has been estab.
lished at twenty-four cities during the year,
and there are now but sixty-three enti-
tied to it, but on account of the expense
the remainder could not be benefited.
Experimental free delivery in towns and
villages has shown reduction in gross
receipts in majority of offices. By No
vember l next rural free delivery will be
tested in about thirty States. There was
| a reduction OF dsmissals of letter carriers
| which evidences the high standard of dis
cipline.
An estimated expenditure of S13, ,326, SOC
is. made on account of free delivery sys-
TENS for the fiscal year 1928.
Negotiations are now pending for an
exchange of money orders with Mexico.
Mr.. Jones recommends that a penalty
be prescribed for the unlawful use of the
frank of mem ber of Congress, and sug-
gests $500 fine in each case. He says the
law was disregarded during the campaign
| just closed. He asks legislation to dc
away with private postoffice boxes.

The sorrows of a Collector.

One of the brightest men in town-a
man who you'd swear came from some
cultured center OF the East ii his name
didn't specially assert precisely the oppo-
site-has the Robert Louis Stevenson
mania in its most aggravated form. Some
little time ago friend wrote him that he
had procured for him, after unheard of
exertlons, genuine Stevenson autograph.
The news raised him into a seventh
heaven of bliss and into the very top story
of the heaven at that Actually to have
some exouisltely constructed sentence,
some fash of immortal genius, some in
innate expression of deepest thought from
the masters pen. seemed too much TO
hope for. At length however, the precious
document came. The enthusiast unfolded
it. 1t was a small slip OF paper on which
were the magical words:
Please deliver to bearer one dollar and
fifteen cents. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
Still it was genuine eautograph.-Wash ash
ington Post.
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-09

many years it has been known that lhe
great m aiority of British commoners de-
sired the repeal of the statute. Most OF
the gentry and even the lords temporal
were of the same mind. Even the royal
family, almost without exec ption, are and
have been with the commoners. The DIS
senters are as unit in the same party.
The opposition to this vast preponder-
ance of opinion lies in the Archbishop OF
canterbury and the Bishops or lords
spiritual. These prelates have held the
balance of power in the House OF Lords.
and year by year have prevented the pas
sage OF the repeating law.
This year, greatly to the scandal OF
their lordships, the Prince of Wales him.
sell came up TO London and canvassed
among the peers for votes. The bishops
were all the more scandaliZed because the
GATE Tor the second reading was so fixed as
not to interfere with the Princes Ascot
engagements. His Royal Highness sue
ceeded SO well as a drummer for votes
that the second reading was passed by
handsome majority. 1t has since come to
the third reading, and is now ready for
the Commons The Earl of Dunraven en-
gineered the passage of the bill through
the Lords.
The ultimate fate of the bill depends
upon its fate in the Commons If it
reaches that body a q comfortable season
before adjournment it will be passed, and
the obnoxious law will cease to be. Ii it
be deferred till the closing hours it is
likelyfo die, and all the troublesome busi-
ness will have to be gone through again.
TINE contention over the bill is chiefly
of religious controversial character. The
Archbishop of Canterbury has indeed con-
tended that to permit such marriages
would be to compromise the peace Of
families" but with the principle of Ger
many, France, the United States and all
the British colonies before their eyes this
argument has not gone far with the Brit-
ish public.
Tie present bill exempts the clergy of
the Church OF England from its opera
tions insomuch that if the bill be passed
the marriages comprehended in its pro-
visions must be performed in England by
Dissenting, Jewish or Roman Catholic
clergymen, or by a civil oficer.-New
York Journal.
