PATENT CASE DECIDED.


SPRINGFIELD. Ill, Jan. 30.-Word was
received here to-day by the Illinois Watch
Company that Judge Showalter, of the
United States Circuit Court at Chicago.
had decided Il case in its favor which has
been in dispute for nearly eight years. BY
this decision the Illinois Watch Company
is relieved of an obligation amounting to
several hundred thousand dollars. The
case was that of Robbins and Avery, as
trustees for the Waltham and Elgin Watch
Companies. VS.. the Illinois Watch Com
pany for an infringement of patent. The
infringement was the manufacture of the
''pendant-setting watch movements,
which the plaintiff claimed the Illinois
Watch Company had no right 10 make.
The first suit was brought i'm 1889, in the
Circuit Court of Cook county. where the
plaintiff enioined the Illinois Watch Com
pany from making these movements. The
plaintiff then sued the Illinois Watch Com
pany for damages in the APPELLATE Court.
The matter was referred TO Master in
Chancery Bishop. who found for the
Waltham and Elgin Watch Companies in
this one instance. $4,000 damages. Excep-
the Illinois Watch Company before Judge
Showalter. His decision was rendered to-
day and sustained the Illinois Watch Com
pany. Had the judge oyerruled the objec-
ton OF the Illinois Watch Company IL
would have had TO pay the plaintiff over
$l00 600 damages.
During the last eight years testimony has
been taken In nearly all the large cities of
the United States, Canada and Mexico. and
nearly all the prominent jewellers in these
cities have testified in the case. The mat
ter has been closely watched by dealers
and manufacturers of watches all over this
country and in Europe as WELL as the deci-
sion i'm this case will settle a number OF
other disputes of similar character.

Clause Relating to King Oscar as Um-
pire Stricken Ont and an Addi-
ton Made TO Article 1.
ALASKAN BOUNDARY TREATY
SIGNED BY SECRETARY OLNEY AND
SIR JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE.
Comm issiOners to Determine the Line
That Divides Canada from Uncle
Sans Bering Sea Territory.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3o.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations to-day
agreed by vote of TO to report favor
ably the Anglo-American arbitration treaty
with amendments.
All but two of these amendments are
merely verbal One of the two which are
essential strikes out the clause providng z
for the selection OF King Oscar of Sweden
and Norway as umpire. leaving it to the
two powers TO select an umpire when one
is considered necessary. The other impor-
tant amendment is an addition TO Article I
of the treaty, and reads as follows:
mo question which affects the foreign
or domestic policy of either of the con-
tracing parties. or the relations of either
with any other state or power. by treaty
or otherwise, shall be subject to arbitration
under this treaty, except by special agree
ment."
This amendment was agreed to by the
unanimous vote of the committee. The
amendment eliminating the umpire clause
was agreed to oy vote of to ]. The
vote in opposition TO striking ont the King
Oscar clause is understood to have been
cast by Senator Gray. of Delaware. The
six members who voted I'm favor of report
ing the treaty We're Messrs. Sherman,
Frye, Davis, Cullom, Lodge and Gray, and
those who voted in the negative Messrs.
Morgan, Daniel, Cameron and Mills. This
vote. strangely enough, was on financial
rather than political lines. Only one
Democratic senator voted for ratification
and only one Republican senator against
1T. All the votes for the treaty were cast
by men who had opposed silver in the
Senate and in the last campaign, while
those in opposition with the possible excep-
ton of Senator Mills, were cast by free
silver men. 1t is understood that the silver
men hold that the ratification OF the treaty
would have a tendency to render this coun-
try subservient TO Great Britain.
An amendment declaring in explicit terms
that the Alaskan boundary question should
not be included in the agreement for ar
bitration was voted down as being unneces-
sary. The chairman was instructed TO ask
the Senate TO give the treaty consideration
at an early as practicable time 1t Is ex-
pected that when taken UP 1t Will lead to
a protracted and animated debate in eXecu-
tive session.

CHARGED WITH HOMICIDE.
Switchman Held for Causing the
Death of an Engineer by Negligence.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Malachi BaImann
and John j. Rogers were arraigned in Po-
lice Court to-day on the charge OF homi-
eide i'm causing the death of the engineer,
Thomas Gaffney. of the; Elevated railroad,
on Thursday evening, when the train was
thrown from the elevated structure. Bau-
mann and Rogers were employed by the
company as coupIers ana il their duty
to throw the switches. Fireman Heath,
who lost leg as the result of tho collision,
told the police that he had frequently been
obliged to call the engineers attention to
the fact that the switch had been left
open by Baumann when ii should have been
closed. On such occasions IL had been nee
essary TO stop the train while he (Heath)
had gone ahead TO throw the switch right.
They pleaded not guilty. The attorney for
the railroad asked that they be admitted
to bail. but the court refused and they
Were committed to Jail until Monday, when

The Venezuela Treaty.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30-The British
Venezuela treaty has not advanced TO
stage where il can be said with any def-
niteness when il will be signed, and there
is no present agreement for signing the
document in time 10 go by the steamers
leaving for Venezuela in the near future.
The negotiations are I'm such condition,
however that the several essential points
still open may be closed at any time. The
acceptance of King Oscar to act in the
matter has not yet been received, and IN
view of recent criticisms of the monarch
this may occasion delay, although there Is
no serious apprehension of such a contin-
gency. The personnel of the British arbi
traitors is also open question. There
is a general desire TO nave Lord Herschel
serve. but as he is absent on the continent
some difficulty exists to fully communi-
eating with him. He is felt to be eminent
ly fitted, as his service as chancellor makes
him second only to Gladstone among the
conspicuous men of England He is not
"A member of the present government. and
is felt to be free to accepr the place so far
official obligations are concerned. His
associate has not been mentioned thus far.
and references made TO the probable choice
of Lord Chief Justice Russell and Sir Fran
els Lockwood are misleading, as they have
not been considered. Ii is regarded set
tied that Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
Brewer will be the American arbitrators.

New YOrk's Opposition to Gage-Han-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.--New York's op-
position to the appointment of Mr.. Gage
to the treasury portfolio is grounded, not
on objections to the man. but to the place
he halls from. New York has recently
contracted the habit of hating everything
that comes out of Chicago with venomous
bitterness.
The decision of Judge Goff. of West Vir-
ginia to decline the tender of the position

for representation in the Cabinet. The
