New YORK, June 21.-The first steps
in what may become the greatest liti-
| CATION over patents ever known in this
country were taken, yesterday, by the
filing and serving of papers in a suit
brought by the National Conduit &
Cable Co. against the Bell Telephone
Co. According to the claim of the Ma
tional Conduit & Cable Co. nearly
the entire system of telephone wires
and cables now used by the Bell
company is an infringement of its pat
ents. The patents are on a prepared
covering for wires, and the Bell COM

for its cables in nearly every city in
the country. The suit involves dam
ages of 81, 900, 600 and enormous royal

THE WORLD AT LARGE.
Summary Of the Daily News.
WASHINGTON NOTES.

Mr. MACHEN, superintendent of free
delivery in the post Office department
at Washington. stated that rural free
delivery would be success in districts
with dense population, but its gen
eral application to the United States
would be great waste of money.
CALCULATIONS on the 22d were that
the tariff bill would pass the senate
about July 1.
The general executive board of the
X. of L. at Washington have adopted a
resolution calling upon congress and
the president of the United States to
take action for recognizing the belliger-
ency of the Cuban insurgents and also
recommending that local and district
assemblies of knights adopt the same
resolution when they celebrate the
Fourth of July.
THE president has signed the act
amending the act providing for the
entry of lands in Greer county, Ok, so
as to extend until January next the
time allowed settlers to perfect their
entries.
SAMUEL GoMPERs, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
FRANK Morrison, the secretary of the
organization, went to the white house
recently and had talk for an hour
with President Mckinley on labor in
terests and labor legislation. Mr..
Mckinley fully indorsed trade unions
and said: Il regard the organization
of labor as the natural and Legitimate
effort to secure its rights"
A POLICY which will affect many pen
sion claims has been adopted by the
interior department in a ruling Just
made by Assistant Secretary Webster
Davis, holding that the showing of the
inclusion of a mans name on the pen
sion rolls is equivalent to the produc-
tion of an honorable discharge.
CHARLES c. BELL. of Boonville, Mo-.
visited the agricultural department at
Washington the other day and had a
conference with Secretary Wilson
about the beet sugar experiment in
Missouri and to make arrangements
for the test of the crop under govern
ment auspices. Mr.. Bell was confident
that the beet sugar industry will be-
fore many years be a great one in Mis-
SOuri
