USE OF THE WORD REMINGTON.
Supreme Court Dismisses the Bill of
Wyckoff, Seamans & Co.

In an opinion by Chief Justice Fuller the
Supreme Court of the United States today
ordered the dismissal of the bill in the case
OF Wyckof, Seamans & Co. agt the Howe
Scales Company and others, involving the
right OF the Howe company to use the word
Remington" as trade mark on type
writer's manufactured by it. The contro-
Versy grew out of the transfer by E. Rem
ington & Sons to the Howe company and
others of the right to manufacture the
Remington Standard typewriter, and the
association of some of the Remingtons with
the Howe company. THE purchasers sought
to enjoin the use of the name of Remington
or of even the name 'Rem-Sho," but the
court held that this petition could not be
granted in either case, thus reversing the
lower courts.

OPINION AT PARIS.
No Confirmation of the Report of Fleet
Engagement.

PARIS. April 2i.-1:23 p.m.-The foreign
office and other government departments
and the bOurse were closed today in con-
nection with the Easter holidays which
with the Easter adjournment of both
branches of parliament and the departure
of President Loubet and most of the min
listers, except Foreign Minister Delcasse to
attend the unveiling of the Gambetta statue
at Bordeaux has resulted in a period of
calm after the excitement attending the
Delcasse incident and the Japanese pro-
test
The foreign office was open briefly at
noon, when it was said that no confirma-
ton had been received of the reported can
nonade outside of kamranh bay during the
night of April ID the day Admiral Rojest
Vensky left the coast of AMMAN.
The officials here discredit the report
that the crew of the interned Russian
cruiser Diana. now at Haifong. joined Ad-
m1ral RoJestvensky previous to his sail
ing as the official advices show that a
daily roll-call is made for the purpose of
preventing the departure of any members
of the crew.
The neutrality incident is officially con-
sidered closed. NJ Delcasse's not accom-
panying NJ. Loubet to Bordeaux is due to
the unsettled status of the Moroccan
question and to the possibility OF further
complications over neutrality.
A telegram from Toulon says it is ru-
mored there that orders have been re

and to hold the third-class cruisers Cas-
sard and Alger in readiness to put to sea.

Mr.. Rand's Opening Address.

In opening his address Mr.. Rand urged
the jurors to forget all that has been said
and published about previous prosecution

tirely fair and unbiased mind. This has
been a most sensational case he said.
land you facing hard ordeal, partic-
ularly on account of the sex of the defend
ant. But this is not a court of chivalry, a
court of morals; it is a court of law"
He warned them that the fact that an
indictment had been returned against the
prisoner must have no weight with them
and that they must not consider as
against her the prisoners mode of life.
Character of the Prisoner.
He concluded, however, that it was a
misconception to believe that her char
acter had nothing to do with the case.
This, he believed, would have a most i'm
portant bearing as showing a possible
motive for the crime.
AT the conclusion of Prosecutor Rand's
opening argument Miss Patterson was
taken with sudden faintness. and Re
corder Gof ordered a recess mmediately.
The defendant revived when the court
room windows were opened and was able
to walk unassisted back to her cell in the

In her previous trials the young woman

Recorder Goff having ruled that any scene
which might act upon the sympathy of the
jurors must be avoided. While the outlook
of the peoples case, as given by Mr. Rand

which have gone before, it differed in some
material respects.
Much of the evidence given at other trials

CONFIDENT OF ACQUITTAL.
But the Prisoner Dreaded the Arraign
ment Today.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 4.-Nan Patterson s
third trial on the charge of killing her book
maker sweetheart is on in earnest today,
and although she is confident of acquittal
she is in great dread of the arraignment to
which she will be subjected by Assistant
District Attorney Rand in his opening ad
dress to the jury. This arraignment over
the taking of testimony will begin without
delay, and for the next four weeks 1t is be-
lieved by both sides the trial will continue.
Because of many new features which have
developed since the last trial this will be
practically new case against the accused
girl. ]. Morgan Smith and his wife are now
in the Tombs, and the testimony they will
give is expected to throw entirely new light
on the case
AT the last trial Abraham Levy of counsel
for Nan Patterson declared that had their
testimony been heard the innocence of his
client would have been proved beyond the
shadow of doubt.

Conditions at Wilma.

A letter from Wilma says:
Work is impossible under the existing
conditions. The governments endless COM
missions have accomplished nothing and
the landlords, workmen and peasants are
convinced that open revolt and the bayonet
are the only remedies. Easter may witness
the inauguration of another insurrecton
like that of 1868, which began, as this may,
with Russian massacre"
Commenting on the above the Russ de-
clares the government must act promptly
if awful carnage is to be avoided. The only
thing TO be done, 1t says, is to summon the
moderates to give guarantees that the
promised reforms Will be realized.
Destruction of Private Property.
With the object of stopping the destruc-
ton of private property, which has been

terror, NJ. Bouligin, to appoint commissions

When the trial opened Miss Patterson en-

To Put on New Witness
Mr.. O'Reilly said today the defense
would put on a new witness at the present
trial to prove beyond question that Young
owned and habitually carried a revolver.
I'VE will show that on the day before

very serious and emphatic at this. Before
going to court Nan said:
Il more than hopeful that my
trial is under way. Easter services in this
old prison were beautiful and have helped
to cheer me greatly. The district attorney,
of course, will be most severe, but that is
the business of a prosecuting officer The
result of this trial will be declaration of
my innocence by a splendid set of Jurors
Assistant District Attorney Rand in
his opening address, dwelt upon the pre-
sumption of innocence which the jury
should hold in favor of the defendant and
declared that her mode of life must not
be held against her. She is on trial here
not for her conduct, but for murder he
said. mo prejudice should go against her
because of her mode of life. You must
remember that she comes before you an
innocent woman in the eyes of the law"
The Revolver Incident.
That the prosecution has not abandoned
its contention that the revolver with which
Young was killed was purchased by J. Nor
gan Smith, was shown during Mr. Rand's
opening argument He challenged the de-
fense to produce letters which, he said, they
claimed to have knowledge of. that would
show that Young had threatened to commit
suicide if he had to give up Miss Patter-
son. He declared that Young never owned
carried revolver, and made the fiat
statement, Tho revolver that killed Caesar
Young was purchased by Joseph Morgan
