Judge Brown in the United States Circuit
Court, in suit involving the validity of
the second Berliner patent, will have the
effect OF ending the monopoly of the
Bell Telephone company and opening the
business to such competition as its prom
Use of profit may invite. In the judgment
OF the Patent ONCE experts, il renders
operative a large number of patents on
transmitters and parts of the telephone
apparatus, which are wholly outside of
the control of the Bell company. Notice
of appeal has been filed but it is not
considered probable that the Supreme
Court of the United State will reverse
Judge Brown.-[New York Times.

The Fight on Evans.
[From the Rutland News.

When Gen. Daniel Il. Sckles denied the
assertion of Corporal Tanner that the
republican national committee had writ
ten letter pledging the influence OF the
committee TO secure the removal of Pen

but that he hated to have the charge
apparently proved on such short notice.
Subsequently, however, Gen. Sickes mind
revolved until the existence Of the letter
was admitted. Better than this vic
tory is the revelation that the president
was not party to tI4s bargain, ana that
he refuses to carry out its provision.
Commissioner Evans will stay where he
