Homer to Bismarck.
Demonstration at Friedrichs-
ruhe for the '.lron Chancellor. !"

FREDERICKSBURG May 10.-Three
thousand men were in line in a torch
light parade given this evening in
honor of Prince Bismarck. A heavy
rain was falling, but in spite Of this
Prince Bismarck appeared upon the
balcony and watched the procession
march past. The crowd then gathered
in front Of him and listened to a brief
address by DR.. Sen1ler, congratulating
him upon his recovery from his recent
illness. Despite the rain, everybody
uncovered when Prince Bismarck be-
gan his reply. He changed his familiar
cap for cuirassier's helmet, and the
incident was greeted with a storm Of
cheers. He spoke deliberately and dis
tinctly, and with much Of his old vigor.
He referred to the fact that it Was
just fifty years ago when he entered
parliamentary life, and added "One of
the advantages of becoming old is that
one becomes Indifferent to hatred, in
suit and calumny, while ones capacity
for love and goodwill is increased" "
In concluding, he expressed his love
for all who had done him the honor
of the evening, called for cheers for
Hamburg, and then left the balcony
and sat in a tent erected in the park
to witness the further proceedings.
Count Herbert Bismarck, Count Won
Rantzau and DR.. Schweninger receiv-
ed numerous floral tokens on behalf of
the prince. Everybody was delighted
to see the venerable ex-chancellor look
ing so well.

NO. ! SPRING GRADE ABOLISHED.
chicago's Board of Trade i'll Line With the liar
kets of

CHICAGO, May 10-By a vote of
48S to 436 the Chicago board of trade
today voted to discontinue the use Of
No spring wheat as contract grade
thus placing this market on an equal
footing with the other big grain CEN
ters of the country. This leaves only
two contract grades of wheat for fu-
ture delivery. No. 1 northern spring
and No. 2 red winter. The elimination
of the No. spring grade. it was claim
ed, would markedly restrict the specu-
lative element, thus rendering much
easier the creation. of corners" On the
other hand, it was contended by the
supporters of the amendment, it would
tend to elevate the standard Of specu-
lative trade. The elevator men were
generally credited with being against
the amendment. The rule is to go into
effect on Oct. 1. There are in round
numbers 100000 bushels of No. 2
spring wheat in Chicago elevators and
only about 100000 bushels Of the
other grades. All this former large
amount will be thrown entirely out Of
the regular wheat market.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., May 10
August Normand, who cut the throats
of Knute Hilstad's children on May
2, two of whom died instantly, was
captured twelve miles southwest of
Towner this morning by Charles
Thruen, a ranchman. Thruen knew
Normand and started to look for him
Sunday night at the Gumelius camp,
where he stayed all night, and this
morning Normand came there and ask
ed for breakfast. His request was
granted, and he ate ravenously. He
turned his head once, and Thruen COW
cred him with his Winchester, and
Normand gave up. He was tied to a
saddle on horse and taken to Towner.
He says he is August Normand; that
he killed the Hilstad children, but
doesn't know why he did it, only that
the impulse took possession Of him
and he could not help doing it. He
adds that he is sorry, but it can't be
helped now and he expects to suffer
the consequences. He claims that he
will die game. He seems perfectly ra-
tional and in good spirits. Normand will
be brought here by a large posse who
have been looking for him week. AT
Larimore, near where the crime was
committed, and at DEVILS Lake trou-
BILE is imminent, and should an attempt
be made to bring him through those
towns, an effort will probably be
made to lynch him. Sheriff O'Connor,
Chief Ryan and several more officers
go West in the morning.

CRIME OF TRADE ISOLATION
Warmly Denounced by Erastus Wiman in Discussing
"Better Trade Relations With Canada"

DETROIT, Mich. MAY 10.-Exchange
hall, of the Detroit chamber of COM
merce, presented a brilliant scene to-
night when some 250 members sat
down at the second annual dinner Of
that organization. The special guests
of the occasion were Erastus Wiman,
Of New York, and William Everett, Of
Quincy, Mass, and the topics Of all
the speakers were along lines of COM
mercial enterprise and progress. Hon.
Alfred RUSSELL who was characterized
as the "God Father of the Chamber" :"
was the POSTMASTER He introduced
Mayor Maybury, who happily outlined
the ideas of what constitutes pro-
gressive commercial city. The mayor
dweh especially upon advantages Of
reasonable taxation of water and rail
trans portation, of necessity of SYM
pathy between capital and labor, and
Of the demands of commerce for lead
ers of the lofty character. Erastus
Wiman, Of New York, responded to
the topic Better Relations with Can
ada" Among other things he said
tIn the full view, on both sides OF a
border line 1900 lines long, of a de-
preston unequalled in universally and
duration, the governments on both
sides are intently engaged in building
higher than ever the tariff wall. They
are thus destroying about the only
chance there is Of a revival of COM
merce or an outlet for products and
manufactures. Cutting the continent
commercially in two, this tariff is like
a barbed wire fence, over which one
brother cannot trade with another
without paying tribute beyond the
cost of production for both.
British North America, comprising
the greater half of the continent, now
alone offers room for expansion There
are no new territories within the union
into which the surplus population can
expand. Employment Of emigration
and the opportunity for the velopnent
of natural resources, to degree far in
excess Of that hitherto realized, is now
possible in the northern half of the
continent. Because another political
system prevails In that region, ought
to be no barrier to commercial expan-
sion in that direction. That the people
of Canada are favorable to the closest
relationship to this country,is evidenced
by the fact that it's new government
has already shown itself ready to meet
overtures by which the two countries
can practically be united. Annexation
is unnecessary, undesirable and impos-
sible. Canada Is today more loyal to
Great Britain than ever before.
"AH that is needed now, is to have
the commercial sentiment Of all the
great cities express itself in favor Of
better relation. The new tariff is
opposed to this view, but that is a
political necessity rather than COM
mercial desire. The amount Of duty to
be collected under Its drastic exactions

be remembered that Berliner's rights
were Independent from those of Bell.
If there should be a new invention,
upon the expiration of the Berliner
patent, the rights of it's author could
not be abridged to relieve the public.
The inventor of the latest addition is
entitled to full protection, and if the
it is entitled to all rights which the
inventor had. The court, he said, dis
sented entirely from the views urged
by counsel that the applicant for a
patent was quasi trustee for the pub
lie, but held that an invention was
the absolute property Of it's inventor.
The government in order to make it's
case, must establish affirmatively that
the de ay in the patent Office was caused
by the conduct of the applicant. 1t
cannot rest on mere differences, but
must prove the wrong in such a man
ner as to satisfy the judgment before
1T can destroy that which it's own
agents have created. This requirement
the government had failed to meet.
Remarking upon another feature of
the case, the Justice said that, taking
into consideration the influences un-
der which the suit was started, there
were indications that the purpose of
striking down this patent was to give
value to others, and that private COM
pe-titors of the Bell company were seek
ing to inspire rival not for the public
good, but for the promition Of their
personal interests. The conclusions OF
the court very much condensed on this
branch of the case, as to fraud Or col
lusions at the patent office were:
First-That before the government is en-
titled to decree cancei.ing mechanical
patent, on the ground that it has been fraud
u.entiy obtained, it must establish the fraud
by convincing testimony.
second-That an applicant for patent can
not be he'd responsible for dilatory acts of the
patent Office officials unless the delay is
brought about through his corruption.
Third-The evidence in this does not
tend in the least degree to show any such
corruption.
Fourth-If the circumstances do not show

WASHINGTON, May 10-The Bell
Telephone company won the case
brought against it by the United States
to annul the last Berli.er 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 latest patent, which was
granted in 1891. The government asked
to have the patent of 1891 set aside,
on the ground that the delay of thirteen
years in the patent office was frauu I'll ant
and through the fault Of the telephone
company, and that the patent issued in
1880 covered the same ground on which
the new patent was applied for in 1891:
The court in it's opinion delivered by
Justice Brewer, held that there was no
evidence Of corruption or undue in
duence exercised over the patent Office
by the telephone company, and that
there was no evidence that the delay in
granting the patent had been brought
about by the company. 1t held that
whatever delay there had been was
through the fault Of the patent Office,
and by no fault of the company. Justice
Harlan dissented from the opinion.
Justices Gray and Brown, it was an
nounced, took no part in the case, pre-
sumably because they were Interested.
The court held that, in order to set
aside a patent, the government must
establish grounds of relief as clear and
satisfactory as it would to set aside
land patent. All other allegations of
the government, besides that of delay.
were overruled. Tbs decision by the
supreme court sustains the lower
courts.
With reference to the arguments on
the subject Of the continuance of the
telephone monopoly, Justice Brewer re-
peated, that there was no question that
Bells patent had expired, but it must

that the delay on the part of the officials was
wholly justified they do make 1t clear that it
was wholly unwarranted.
The case has attracted wide attention
because of the extensive interests in
volved in it's settlement, and the opin-
ion of the court has been anxiously
awaited. The suit it was claimed, in
volved the practical control of the art
of telephoning it originated in charge
of collusion in the patent office, and
was brought to obtain the repeal and
cancellation of letters patent Of the
United States No. 463,569, dated Nov
II, 1891, granted to the American Bell
Telephone company, as assignee OF
Emile Berliner, the alleged inventor.
The repeal and cancellation Of the
patent was sought upon the ground
that the application for it, while filed in
1877, was not granted until 1891. This
delay was charged to be unnecessary
and improper on the part of the patent
Office and the Bell Telephone company,
which, as Berliner's assignee, controlled
it's application. It was asserted that
the company had acquiesced in and
promoted the delay and for their own
interest, thus defrauding the public Of
it's rights. It was claimed that the
Berliner patent practically controls
telephony, as it has to do with both
the transmission and receipt of sound,
and that the delay thus secured until
1891 operated to prolong the control of
this act for fifteen years beyond the
time of the expiration Of the Bell pat
ent. It was also asserted that the pat
ent was granted by the commissioner
Of patents without authority of law,
and that it was for the same invention
for which patent had been granted
in 1880, and that the principle was
therefore not new.
The suit originated in the United
States circuit court for the district of
Massachusetts,, where it was decided in
favor Of the United States. Upon ap-
peal to the circuit court of appeals for
the First circuit, this decision was re-
versed, and the contentious Of the Ber-
liner claimants upheld. From this
opinion the United States appealed to
the supreme court.

That the basis for a commercial bar
