Report Corrected.

MR.. EDITOR:-Allow me to make a
few corrections in the interview with
me, published this morning. The state
ment that Mr.. Sherman claimed the
United States had given a present of
sos, 5000, 600 to the Islands in duties re-
mitted under the treaty of reciprocity,
should have read $50 ,000. 900
The statement that in my opinion
the closing of this port to passengers
from infected ports is impracticable is
hardly correct. 1t certainly is pTacti-
cable, but, I believe, should not be
resorted to except as a last resort.
Quarantine regulations properly in
forced shOsld be sufficient.
The statement that, if the law should
be put into effect we might have to
close the commerce of the Atlantic is
not correctly reported. What 1 said
was that a proposition to close the
commerce OF the Atlantic on account
of epidemic diseases prevailing would
not be entertained.
Lastly. in regard to the statement
that They lin Washington don't
seem to know what form of Govern
ment We should have" l remarked
that many persons seemed to be trou-
bled as to the form of government we
should have after annexation But
those who were best informed as to
our conditions here had no misgivings
on that score. W. o. SMITH

in June, have already been appointed

continually being received from the
plantations and the other Islands, tell

offered to all who are hoping to teach
in the kindergarten or primary school.
A training among the conditions i'll

Washington. May 1.-THE Bell Tele-
phone Company has won .he case brought
against 1t by the United States to annul
the last Berliner patent. This decision
has the effect of continuing the control
of the telephone by the Bell company for
seventeen years from the date of the last
patent granted, 1891. The government
asked to have the patent set aside on the
ground that the delay of Il years in the
patent office was fraudulent, through a
fault of the telephone company, and that
the patent issued in 1880 covered .he same
ground on which the new patent was ap-
piled for in 1891. The supreme court, in
an opinion delivered today by Justice
Brewer held that there was no evidence
of corruption or undue influence exercised
over the patent office by the telephone
company and no evidence of delay In
granting the patent had been brought
about by the company. The delay was
through the fault of the patent office
The court held that in order 10 set aside
the patent the government must establish
grounds of belief as clear and satisfactory
as is necessary to set aside Il land patent

Leadville. Col, May H-An agreement
having been reached by the owners OF the
principal mines. the down town district
has resumed pumping. which was stopped
last winter while the strike was on. The
arrangements for pumping will result in
the employment of probably 1000 men
within six months. 1t Is thought that by
August / the upper levels in the working
mines will be sufficiently dry to permit
of the introduction of men. and from that
time on men will be continually added to
the working force until all the properties
are in full operation.
1t Is believed that many repairs will be
necessary on account OF the swelling
and crushing of the timbers occasioned
by the extra weight OF water. More than
1000 acres are included within the terri
tory the development of which will bt
