Harlan, was fought an hour and half in an executive session of the Senate today, and action was finally deferred until tomorrow afternoon.

 Senator Borah defended MT, Pitney and analysed the decision on which file order was based. Senator Culberson and others joined in the opposition.
 Senators Clark of Arkansas, O'Gorrnan of New York and Watson of West Vir- gnia announced that they wanted an op- portunity to discuss the case and the nomination went over.
 The regular republicans are solidly for the nomination and express confidence that the chancellor would be confirmed tomorrow despite the increased opposition from the democrats.

 STRIKE OF MINERS

 agreement will be reached for fixing a minimum rate, which will be submitted to a ballot of the miners. That the strike will continue for at least another week is now regarded by the most optimistic as inevitable.
 It practically has been determined the coal strike must be ended by agreement or immediate legislation will be invoked to bring about compulsory peace. time limit for the negotiations is demanded on all sides and Thursday is expected to see parliamentary action unless the ex- tremists on both sides relax sufficiently to enable settlement by consent.
 At present almost the entire nation is under notice to quit work. Including the miners there are nearly 100000 persons already idle and should the strike be pro- longed throughout next week perhaps half of Great Britain's workers will be unem- ployed The distress is widespread now and the drain on funds is so great that some of the unions are already showing distress signals.
 The courts are refusing to grant judg- ments and summonsest on the ground that the common necessaries of life are beyond the reach of many of the poor.

 "The ruling now made" said he. fin effect is that the patentee has the power by contract to extend his patent rights SD as to bring within the claims of his natent rights which are not embraced therein, thus causing the patent laws to cover subjects to which without the ex- ercise of the rights of contract they could not reach; the result being not only to multiply monopoly at the will of an interested party. but also destroy the Jurisdiction of the state courts over sub iects which from the beginning have been within their authority"
 Gives Illustrations The chief justice gave illustrations of what the effect of the decision might be. He declared the court had said to the patentee selling a patented engine that he had the right by contract to bring under the patent laws all contracts for coal or electrical energy used to afford power to work the machine The buyers of a patented sewing machine, he declared 1t said the patentee might require all the thread needles. or oil it used to be bought from the patentee. The patentee of a cooking utepsil might require that all the food cooked in 1t be purchased from him or the patentee of a window frame, that all the material in house in which the frame was to be used must be procured from him.
 My mind cannot shake off the dread of the vast extent of such practices which must come from the decision of the court" said the chief justice.

 Justice Lurton in his opinion had re- ferred to such instances as 'fanciful"

 Mrs. Artman notified the police de- partment and Dr. Charles Whelan, the city physician, who was in the office at the time. and Officers Darnell, Tyler and 1vey went out to the scene of the shoot ing. fi
 The negro was brought to the city jail, where he was found to be desperately wounded, being shot through the spine and abdomen, and was taken to the St. Vincent's hospital for an operation. Ii is thought, however, that he is fatally hurt and cannot recover.
 The negro made a statement to the officers that he was at the rear of the house for the purpose of firing the heat ing furnace and that he had no intention of breaking into the house.
 The affair caused intense excitement in the neighborhood of the shooting. which is one of the fashionable districts of the city. MT. Artman is assistant engineer of the Seaboard Air Line.
