DIG FIGHT OVER ROYALTIES.

western Union the dtIgants.

The He'll Telephone Company and
Western Union the IdtIgants.
Washington. April 12.-The supreme
court of the United States to-day denied
the petition for a writ OF eertiorari in the
case of the American Bell Telephone
Company VS.. the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to compel the circuit
court of appeals for the first circuit to
certify the case to the supreme court.
The case involves the question OF royal
ties claimed from the Bell company by the
Western Union company, and was origl-
nally brought in the circuit court for the
district OF Massachusetts to secure an ac-
count of these royalties. 1t IS understood
that about $5OOO,0OO is involved.
IT appears that after instituting the suit
the Western Union sought to have Il dis
missed, and after it was dismissed the Bell
Company appealed to the circuit court Of
appeals, when the decision Of the circuit
was reversed.
The Western Union company sought to
have the case reviewed by the supreme
court but the opinion rendered to-day de-
MES this petition.
This has the effect OF taking the case
back to the circuit court for further pro-
eeedlngs, In accordance with the decision
of the circuit court Of appeals. The case

Omaha, Neb, April 12.-The Missouri
river here rose almost two feet in the last
twenty-four hours and is now higher than
at any time since 1888. This evening the
river broke over into its old channel by
Omaha flowing into Florence lake, which
was formed when the river changed its
course, nearly twenty years ago. To-
night the water is pouring down through
the lake, and has flooded the bottoms in
the vicinity. All the houses in North
Omaha, 200 or 300 in number, are surround
ed, and the inhabitants have been moving
to higher ground The Missouri Pacific
and Elkhorn tracks are under water.
The river is still rising rapidly. The wa
ter from the break into Florence lake Is
finding an outlet into Cut-On lake, and
If the rise is much greater there Is great
danger that the river will re-establish its
abandoned course of twenty years ago. In
this event the property loss will be enor-
nous.
