Tlio tlmoriimpnt'n l'liwer Dolliiod by tlio
Nitptemn Court,
Tho Suptomo Couit of tlio United
Stales, by Us decision in the Bell Tele
phone case, lias established a memorable
precedent. The case was on heating on
nh appeal by tho Government f'n a
decision ot Iho Ciicult Court in Massa
chusetts. Solicitor General .lenks, acting
as Attorney General, brought suit In
equity In that court to havo tho Bell
Company's patent cancelled ami declatcd
null and void on tho giound that it was
procured by fraud nnd that Boll was
not tho first inventor of tlio telephone.
Tho Bell Company, waiving for timo
any nnswer to tho allegations mado Jin
the Government's bill In equity, filed a
demurrer, In which thoy assorted that
Iho United Slates hnd no right in tho nb
seneo of n specific statute granting that
power to bring a Suit to cancel a patent
for an Invention.
They declared that such ji suit could
only be brought byajnlvato party and
not by the Government, The Circuit
Court sustained tho Bell Company's do
muircr nnd refused to entertain the
Government's bill. From that decision
the United States took an appeal to the
Supremo Com t, which ycstcrday,through
Justice Miller, rcvorscd thu decision of
tho lower court in a long and elaborate
optloil.
Justice Miller said thnt thero was no
question that an individual had a right
to judicially scftk rcdiess for a wtong
committed against him. and vet it was
contended that tlio United Slates, tho
reprcsonlntlvo of 150,000.000 of people,
could do nothing In their bchnli. The
pntent system, ho said, wns dorived from
tho same clauso in tlio Constitution as
that lelatlng to public lands.
Ono person might bring suit against
the holder of n patent and obtain judg
ment in that pattlcular case, and yet
other parties who subsequently brought
suit Vpuld to unablo to bring proof.
Tho Government alone had tho power to
bring a suit which would finally settle
the whole matter.

Mr. Joseph McNamnra, of Philadel
phia, went to his room, No. 171, in the
Metiopollluu Hotel, yesterday after din
ner nnd found a man in his room.
"Hello 1 what aio you after V askod
Mr. McNamara.
"I'm ilxiug tho electric bell," an
swered tho interloper.
Now Mr. McNamata has two good
eyes in his head nnd ho lciuembcred that
when ho wanted ice water iho night be
fore tho bell that ho rang wns worked by
pulling Instead of pushing; that it was
tho old-fashioned bcl pull. Instead of tho
moio modern electric bell thnt works
willl a push button.
The man in tho room seemed to guess
Mr. McNamara's incredulity and said:
"If you don't bcllovo mo go down to
tlio oilico with me and I'll provo it."
They started for tho olllco together,
but just as thoy got to tho stairway tho
stranger mado a break and ran up Btalrs
and dlsappeaicd.
-Mr. McKninnrii shouted. "Thief 1

echoed tho crv, and for a few minutes
thero was unlimited uproar and con
fusioiiuud through all of it tho hunted

Thcie lias been a veritable prohibition
on B street, Capitol Hill, for soino
monthb, nnd all of tho saloons have been
closed between First and Second streets
southeast, facing tlio Libiary Square.
The prohibition has been raised by tlio
granting of a bar-room llccnso to James
J'oy, of 103 B street. A greater effott
was mado on tho part of the tempcrnuco
peoplo to closo these saloons than on any
other stieet, except, perhaps, John
Brosnan's placo, at Second and G streets.
There wns no particular objection to
the saloons or tho manner in which they
wero conducted, but tlio licenses were re
fused because n Httillctent number of
propci ty owners and housekeepers would
not sign tlio application. Mr. Foy has
overcome this diliicully and received his
license.

Tlio Administration to lio Supplied With

Washington, Nov. 12. Ono of tho
fiist results of tho election is likely to bo
tho rovlving of tho National Republican.
When it wns consolidated with Tun
Washington Post in tho spring, it io
tallied its weekly issuo under tho editor
ship of Mr. J-3. W. Pox.
Although The Post nnd the StavXiKvc a
cast-iron contract with tho Associated
Picss and tho United Picss, yet, by
holding on to the wcokly issue, tho Na
tional Republican retained homo news1
rights. It is hardly likoly that tho Ad
ministration will ito without an organ
hero at AVnshington, and It is biirmlscd
that if thero is not wit enough in tlio
itopulilicnu press of tho coutitiy to got
around or over the agreement with tho
two press associations, another nssoela
tlon, or tho shadow of ono, will bo
formed.
Hut Hcpubllcnn nowspapers in 'Wash

Again, it haB been a bad newspaper, and
nobody would cither buy it or tcud it, or
advertiso In it.
AVnshlngton's geographical position
makes It a Democratic town, and it
shows it by uovcr supporting a Republi

Old stagors, Uko Senator Chandler,
who at ouo timo put up fcUO.OOO to keep tho
Republican from going under, tako a very
philosophical view ot it. Thoy don't

but thov uxpect It to lose as little ns pos

Hon. Josoph Chamborlain, to whom
Miss Mnry Endlcott, daughter ot llio Sec
retary of War, is to bo married shortly,
nrrlvcd in Ibis city last night fioin New
York. Ho icached Now York city yes
terday morning, having cotno from Eng
land on tbo Aurnnla, where hit had regis
tered ns Joseph Mayeock. Mr. Cham
berlain wore a high silk hat and a long
English overcoat, heavily tilmmcd with
nstraklian. In ono oyo wns stuck his
slngto glass, nnd ho carried n Utile stick.
Tho big ship camo slowly along and
snubbed gently against tlio corner ot tho
National Lino" pier, which is next below
the Cunard pier, for llio purpose, ovi
dently, of rounding Into her dock. But
ns tho ship touched tho pier a couple of
sailors lowered down her side an exten
sion ladder, and down this tripped Mr.
Chamberlain with the stop of a bride
groom. Tho Englishmen on llio ship
clicerccl mitt when no reaencu tno pier,
and though Mr. Clinmbcilnin was evi
dently in a great hurry, ho turned and
touched his hat, bowing at llio saino
time.
Mr. Chnmbeihiiu wns very anxious to
catch the 10 o'clock limited cpiess on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and he had
prevailed upon Capt. llaln, of tho
Aurnnla, to let him over tho sido on the
National Lino plor, so ns to gain half an
hour or i-o. Mr. Chamberlain walked up
tho National Lino pier at a very inpld
pace, and wlicu ho left It at tho main en
tranco ho btartcd on a rapid run to tho
Dcsbrosscs street ferry.
It is nine blocks to tho ferry fiom the
National pier, and Mr. Chamberlain had
mighty fow minutes to go them in. Ho
legged it along like n good fellow, but
alas, found nil his clambering nnd luu
nlugtobo in vain. Tlio boat which
connects with tho limited express wns
just leaving her slip as Mr. Chamberlain
icached tho ferry. He had thciefoio to
go to a hotel and wait for tho 2 o'clock
train for Washington. Secretary Endl
cott met him nt tho station and drovo
him to his residence, which lie left some
limo after for the Arno, where a suite of
rooms had been propnrcd for him.
Ho declined to see anv newspaper men
or to discuss tho approaching social event.
It Is said that thu wedding will take placo
at St. John's P. E. Cliuich. Otlieis de
rlniothatltis to bo n house-wedding.
Tho wedding will bo vcrv quiet, at all
events, and only a fow will bo invited to

relatives from Boston and the J'resiucni
nnd Mrs. Clovolaud, tho mcmbeis of the
Cabinet and their wives and a fow high

will wear a traveling gown. It is baiely
possible that Mr. Chamberlain and his
chai ming bride may remain in tho United
Statesa short time, paying n t-cilcs of
family visits, and axrivu in England
shortly boforo Christinas.
Comlnc to the tVedillilR.
Tho wcddlnp will bo w Ithout pomp

ton, is an aunt; Mrs. William Mason, ot
Boston, is an aunt, both being sisters of
Mrs. Endlcott, and Mrs. George Dexter,
of Longwood, Is u sister of bccieiaiy r-.n-dlcott.
Tho Salem relatives say that
tho wedding tour in this country will be
of seven days' dilution, nnd. will not in
clude n trip to Snlem.
Miss Endlcott has already lcceived a
largo number of valuable presents, in
cluding n diamond nnd supphiroeicsccnt
for her hair, n pair of diamond and sap
phire bracolcta and a diamond ring. Her
father has given her a diamond descent

Iiii1ri) Doimy, llio Adviser of tlio King of
Col imi, In Troiiblit,
Dliyi(ch to Hit .Vtic i'orl HtraMt
WAsnt.YiiroN, Nov. lU. Judge O. N,
Denny, the American adviser to tho
King of Coiim, is fin trouble. Judge
Denny formerly occupied tho position of
United States Consul Genei al nt Shanghai.
Ho was appointed from Oregon, nnd is
widely known on tho Pacific Coast. Dur
ing tho Aithur Administration Judgo
Denny found himself out of a job. Tho
Corcan King nbotttthat timo was looking
for a competent person to act as his legal
advisor.
Ho preferred nu American, inasmuch
as America is tlio only ilrst-clnss power
which is not intriguing for advantage In
tho East, and the lenresentatlvo thus
chosen, being fieo fiom alt entangling
nlliantcs, would be tho most fitting se
lection that could bo made. TlieChlneto
Government was nnxlous that Judge
Denny should accept tho place, which,
without much solicitation, ho did.
Tho salary wns 18,000 n year, whllo
tho lank and dignity conferred wero sec
ond only to those of his royal master.
Things ran smoothly for a wlillo, but in
nu evil moment Judgo Denny committed
tho folly of writing a letter to Senator
.Mitchell, of cm-iron. It was a very
voluinlnousdocument. It was filled with
abuse of China and Chlneso olliclals. It
related with great substantiality an In
famous plot on the part or Li Hung
Chang, tho Chinese Viceroy, to murder
tlio Corcan King and Install as regent a
man who would servo ns the pliant tool
of tho Poking Government.
Tho letter proved conclusively, from
tho wilter's standpoint at least, that
Corea, so far fiom being n vassal of
China, was in reality quite as independ
ent as Japan. All ttieso nud many other
tilings equally iirilntlng to the Chlneso
tho letter included.
On the -1th of last August tho Herald
printed i two column nbsttaet of the let
ter. The paper found its way to China,
through tlio slow course nt tho mails,
and it cieatcd, as might havo been ox
peeted, a genuine sensatioti. To-dav the
telegraph announces that Li Hung
Chang, who came In for bo large n share
of the American adviser's abuse, lias de
manded of the Corcan King Judgo Don
ny's dismissal.
It is said at tbo Statu Department,
where tho matter seems to bo thoroughly
undetstood, that tho Viceroy's request
will be speedily complied with, if this
has not already been done. The Coreaus,
If tlio State Depaitment advices aro cor
rect, mo already dissatisfied with Judgo
Denny. Tlio storv which reaches hero
tliumgh diplomatic channels Is that ho
has used his position to Ingiatinto him
self witli tlio Ituvilan Government, for
whom ho has seemed an important Had
ing concession along Iho northern front
ier of Corca.
Other ovidonccs of tho Judgo's desiro
to ouvnnco ins personal interests havo
also
i;uuiu iu ngui. in various iicnous,
and the Viceroy's demand will furnish
tho Corcans tho opportunity for which
they havo so long been wailing to rid
themselves of him. Hut for his unfortu
nato letter Judgo Denny might have re
mained sccuro In his present placo for
jenis.
Tho understanding at the State Do
paitment is that Jlr. Hindi A, Dltis
more, the American Minister to Corea,
will bo selected to succeed Judgo Denny.

Nnw Yonic, Nov. 13. The Herald tills
moining devotes an entire page to tho
e.picbsion of opinion of prominent men
upon the question of extending tlio term
of office of tlio President of tho United

able to tbo appiebonsion, excitement and
other conditions dependent upon tho
Presidential campaigns amounts to not
less than f.300.000,000.

of tlio term oft thu Presidential olllco.

Jfr. A. T. Ilritton, who hns been np-
I pointed by Chairman Quay, of the Ile-
publicaii JNntlonal Committee, to tako
chaige of tho Inauguration picp.irations,
wns seen this moinlng. lie said lio had
not appointed his oxecutivo committee
yet, nnd probably would not until tlio
first of noxt week.
"However," ho said, "tlieio nro many
pcoplo already signifying their Intention
of contributing money, nnd in ordur to
receive this I have appointed Mr. (Icoriro
13. Lemon chairman and .Mr. II. H.
Wnriiertiensuror of tho Finance Com
mitteo. Other members of this commit
tee will be selected la'eron."'
Tho question of a building in which to
hold tho Inaugural ball Is llio most Im
portant ono now. Col. Ilritton Is en
deavoring lo secuio tho Pension llttlld-
mg, nut it is not certain yet whotlicrtliis
can bo done or not, us tho proposed
moving of the City Postolllco into tlio
court of tho Pension building mny inter
feio. Col. Ilritton lias not seen Post
master General DIcklnbon jet, but will
do so nt once.
It Is not ccttaln, ho said, whether It is
in tho Postmaster tSencinl'B power to
keep tho City Postolllco out of tlio build
ing until nfterMurch 4. Ho thinks, how
over, that den. Dickinson will do all ho
can to further tbo plans of tho Inaugura
tion Committee
Iu the meantlnlo Col Ilritton is look
ing aiound for any suitable building for
tho purpose, and also considering thu
feasibility of putting uji n wooden struct
ure for tlio put pose.
This, howover, will only bo dono as a
last resort, as such a building would bo
expensive, ciudo, unplnstcicd, almost
impossible to warm, and tbo disadvan
tages would bo numerous. Tho question
of Miitnblo quarters for tho executive
committeo is also undecided. An oficr
has becu mado of good rooms Iu the At
lantic building, lo bo furnished free of
cost, nml this oner will probably be ac
cepted. In makingtip tho committees Mr. ilrit
