FINANCIAL NOTES.
Cuthbert & Co.'S dispatches say:

Cuthbert & Co.'S dispatches say:
 New York, May 10.-Government crop report on cotton makes area of cotton actually planted to May l. 819 per cent, against 87.9 last year.
 Considering the large amount of land overflowed in Mississippi Valley, We re- gard this falling off of only per cent in area planted to May 1 as bearish. Since May 1 the weather conditions have been almost perfect for planting operations, and farmers have been able to very materially catch up with the delay in their work, and push their planting operations,
 The advance wheat and better crop as an argument to work up the grang- CTS. Leather is stronger on covering and general belief that the tariff of 1B cents per pound proposed in the senate schedule will be reduced.
 Railroad advices say spring wheat situation in northwest unprecedentedly good; conditions almost perfect and acreage large.
 It is thought in the room that there is an organized effort in behalf of higher prices in the granger stocks Supporting and advancing orders have appeared, particularly in Burlington. There appears to be orders in Sugar to check any advance that may show signs of gaining headway.

Poli's Wonderland Theater.

Very large audiences were again in evidence at Polls Wonderland theater yesterday, the merits of the fine double attraction provided serving as power full magnet. Miss Josephine Sabel, the beautiful singer, received an ovation when she appeared. She is a charming ly handsome woman, with sparkling eyes and a mobile face that is wonder fully expressive. Her voice is pure soprano of excellent range and power, and a sweetness that is decidedly at- tractive. Miss Sabels selections are of varied type, comprising both senti- mental and comedy songs, and she ren- ders them with an air that is decided ly Frenchy. There Is much magnet ism about her, too, and this helps in no small degree to warm the audience to- wards her. Joe Flynn, of course, made an instantaneous success; he never has been known to do otherwise. His paro- dies are racier than ever, and there is spice in his songs that makes them a go with all who enjoy genuine humor expressed in song. Flynn has always been a favorite with New Haven au- diences, and never more so than now.

DEATH OF VALENTINE HAHN.

An Old and We'll Known Resident
 The sad news was received here ye3- terday of the death in Concord, N. H., last Sunday of Valentine Hahn, aged sixty-four, an old and well known res- ident, who for the past eight or nine years was janitor of the Atwater block, Grand avenue, and previously was for years Sunday watchman at Evergreen cemetery, under the superintendency of Harvey Dorn,an. The deceased was taken i'll a few weeks ago and was taken to the hospital for treatment. 4 few days ago he undertook the journey to New Hampshire in order to be cared for by his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Reed, a resident there, and hoping that the change of scene and air might be a benefit to his health. He died, how ever, only few hours after his arriv- al at his daughters home, the fatigue of the journey proving too great a strain upon him in his enfeebled condi- tion.
 He was a native of Hessen, Germany, and came to this country in his youth and had been a resident of this city since about 1855. Years ago he was employed at the Winchester &s Davis shirt manufactory on Court street, where the Mayer, Strouse & Co. corset factory is now, and on the giving up of the business here by the firm he went with the concern to New York, end was in their employe there. He leaves only one child, Mrs. Reed of Concord, whose husband is a stone cutter and was formerly employed here. The re- a.ns will be inferred in Evergreen cemetery this afternoon at 2 o'clock, with services at the grave.

BELL TELEPHONE co. WINS.

Supreme Court Sustains the Berliner Suit Over the Telephone Transmitter. Washington May 10.-The Bell Tee- phone company has won it's long pend ing suit in the United States supreme court. The Berliner patent for tele- phone transmitter, which now controls the telephone business, and is owned by the American Bell Telephone company was broadly sustained in the supreme court to-day, Justice Brewer announc- ing the opinion.
 Beriner filed his application in the patent office in tS77 after which the Bell Telephone company obtained pos session of it's claim, and the patent was not issued until 1891. The original Bell patent on the receiver expired in 1893. and the issue of the Berliner patent practically extended the monopoly of the Beli company until 1908. A suit was begun by the attorney general of the United States in 1892 in the circuit court at Boston to cancel the patent and a decree was made for the govern ment in that court. On appeal by the company the court of appeals for the First circuit reversed the circuit court and sustained the patent Then the government took the case on a writ of certiorari to the supreme court. The justice said that the government based it's suit for Cancella ton upon the grounds that the delay of thirteen years in the issue of the patent was under the conditions unlawful and fraudulent; that the claim for the pat
 ent was covered by a patent previously issued to Berliner in 1880; that the pat ent issued was not for the invention de- scribed in the application, and that the invention for which a patent was issued was barred by previous public use for
 more than two years.
 In suit of this kind. said Justice Brewer, like in a suit to cancel a land patent, the government must establish its grounds by clear and satisfactory evidence. Upon the record submitted in the case, he said, the court held: i. That there was no evidence that
 there was any corruption or undue in- f1uence used by the patent office officers or employees to hinder or delay the con. iSlueEdllOH Ol lllt OeIHueT application | or the issue of the patent thereon. 2. That there was no testimony tc show that the delay complained of was
 at the instance or procurement of the | telephone company or any of it's off cers.
 B. That whatever delay did occul
 was caused by the officers of the patent
 office, and the officers of the telephone company were in no wise responsible for it.
 The other grounds set up by the gov. ernment, Justice Brewer said, were equally open to any person aggrieved
 by the issue of the patent, and were moi
 sufficient to justify the court in cancel
 ling it. The judgment of the court ot
 appeals was therefore affirmed. Justices Gray and Brown teok no part
 in the decision, and Justice Harlan dis, l scented.

CUBA IN THE SENATE.
Senator Hale in Opposition to the Mo
 gan Beligerency Resolution.

Senator Hale in Opposition to the Nor
 gan Beligerency Resolution.
 Washington, May 10.-In the senate to-day the Morgan Cuban belligerency resolution was taken up to permit Mr. Hale, rep, of Maine, to speak in opposi- tion before leaving the city He said there would always be a genuine and heartfelt sympathy throughout this country for every struggle in behalf of human liberty. Such sympathy could not be the exclusive property of any senator or body of senators in this chamber, for it was universal. But not every revolt is in the direction of hu- man liberty, and before invoking his sympathy the facts must be calmly re- viewed to see if they warranted action.
 The pending resolution came from no executive officer, no committee, no sub committee. It had its root and birth place, he said in the mind of the sena- tor from Alabama (Mr Morgan) He did not doubt the sincerity of that sen ator, who was ready, no doubt, to fol- low the resolution to its logical results
 MT. Hale concluded his speech on to aid Greece where one had gone to aid Cuba
 Mir. Turpie, dem., of Indiana, made a vigorous speech in favor of the Cuban resolution. Tt is the age of revou- tions,' he said, land I hope it may last long enough to drive the last remnant of monarchy from the American con- tinent."

SUICIDE or JOHN FLOOD.

Found Hanging Dead in His Cellar
 Yesterday Morning-Despondency the
 Cause Assigned.
 John Flood hanged himself yesterday morning at 5 o'clock from a floor beam in the cellar of his home, F Edwards street, 8 few doors from Nash street. He was out of work. and despondency Is the only cause assigned for his talk ing his own life,
 He was about fifty years of age, and had formerly been employed by Con tractor Macdonald at street paving.
 He arose about o'clock yesterday morning and soon after went down stairs. His wife supposed he had gone for walk.
 At 6:S0 Mrs Flood entered the cellar and was mortified to find the body of her husband suspended from a beam.
 Medical Examiner White was called and he ordered the body to be cut down. An inquest was considered unnecessary and certificate of death was issued for suicide by hanging.
 The suicide was committed in a cellar ioOAl uSSu lut lue SlOIdSG ul IuulbSI' The body when found was only a few inches from the floor, and indications showed that he had stood on the lower stair in fastening the rope and then had stepped off. Death resulted from strangulation, the neck not being broken. The family were completely prostrated by the blow MT. Flood leaves a wife and three children, one son and two daughters. The members of the family are respect ed by all who know them. The son is a lithographer and is married and lives in another part of the city. One of the daughters is employed in F. M. Brown & Co.'S store and is most estimable young lady. The family have the sin cere sympathy of many friends in their sad bereavement.
 Medical Examiner White said yester- day afternoon that MT Flood had suf- fered from Bright's disease, and had probably become insane from the dis ease.
 MT. Flood was a Catholic and was born in Ireland. He came to this coun- try about thirty years ago and married here. The family have lived on Ed wards street about three years.
 Sisk Brothers have taken the body ir charge. It is probable that the funeral will be held tomorrow from St. Mary's church.

Pickett at the corner of Sylvan avenue and Stevens street a set of harness, a cushion and blanket. These articles were stolen on Friday evening. The police found while Investigating the theft of the clothing reported stolen on Sunday that WinterfieId probably knew of the Friday night burglary.

 The officer encountered both Winter field and Barone yesterday afternoon in Bridgeport. They were having a good time seeing the Park City. Winterfield was dressed in the costume of Buffalo Bills Wild West show. He was we'll disguised, but not sufficiently to escape the detective, who placed both men un- der arrest and brought them and the wild west outfit to this city.

Responding to continuous ap- plause, MT. Reed appeared before the curtain and every one was expecting the comedian to regale them with a string of humorous sayings in his hes itating and laughable manner. In the course of his remarks he told the fol- | lowing story:
