Tho Western Union Comp: to Pay $100,000 to Apply Mis Electro-Moto- graph, ® New York Sun, March 23. During a lonsz serles,of experiments mado somo time ago with dampened chalk a8 a con- ductor, in connection with the motophone, Mr. Edlgon discovered that tho same principio could be applicd successfully to the production of a mechanical movement at 2 distance. Upon this principle be constructed his electro-motograph, Up to that time thore had been but one mothod by which this could: be accomplished, This mothod was first applied by a man named Pago, and the validity of bis patents, after a Jong and costly controversy in the courts, was recently established by a decision of Judgo Blatchford. Tho Western Union Telegraph Company, being tho nasiquee of Mr. Puge's widow, wore thus sustained in their clatm to tho only means of transmitting mechanical motion ton distance, Fearing that Edison auring his constant and untiring experlmentation, backed by genius, mig bt somo duy strike upon a second means of transmitting mechanical motion to a distance, and thas furnish rival compunics with a means of succussful competition, the Western Union Company made a contract with Edison by which thoy were to be nilowed to muke tho first bid upon all olccteical inventions, They ngrecd to pay him $10,000 a yeur for this privilege. Some Weoks ago, therefore, whun the nature of of his new invention was learned by that Com- Re y, thoy called upon him to namo hin terms. ir. Kdison promptly named $100,002, This was <heurnt, to be too high a figure, and Mr. Edison and the Company named an arbitrator to udjust tho diiference. * While thoso wero endeavoring to como to an understanding, agents of tho rival company— tho American Union Telegraph Company— oponed negotiations with Mr. Edison, Poe session of this invention would have enabled the Juttor Company to operate tholr wires without in uny way infringing upon tho Pago patents, olalmed by the Western Union. This. hasten: matters, and without moro nido tho Western Unton Coin ae aren on Saturday last to the torins originally asked by Mr. Edlson,—namely; $100,000 cas! - By this purchase they do not acquire a right to tho Slectro-mologmph Principle, as bas been stated, but only to the upplication of that prin- Sipie te teleuzap ls. ‘That 13 to say.if the de- clston of Judye Blatchford in tho Page patent cuse is sustained, tho Western Union Company will hold tho only two means of producing mee chanical motion ut a distance, and will thus have complete coutrol of all meuns of telegruptlo communication in this country. ‘Tho result of this new npplication of the elec- tro-motograph to tolegraphic purposes opens up A now system of telegraphy by electricity en- tlrely outside and distinct from tho Pago patents, Mr. Edison's thoory is that tho friction xenerated between two bodies fn motion {¢ d{- tulnished, and, in gome casos, oven cutirely elluinated, througi the agenoy of electricity, When i: current of electriclty is passed froin & metallic point through a picce of chalk chemically prepared, and thus rendered a con- ductor of cloctriclty, tho friction normally ex- isting between tho. motallic point and the pre- pared chalk fs cllminated, and tho result fs that tho, metatile point glides over the chalk surface without realstunce. The momont the current 14 shut off the normal friction ts at onco pereelyed, From this ft will be seon that by the usvof acurrent of clectricity and & piece of chalk chemically prepared on which rests 0 motallic point conveying tho electricity to it, x mechanical movement ls produced ata distance, This principle Mr. Edison succeeded tn upplying. uftor muny experiments, to the production of a reenlying telephone which {6 iow extonsively used in Kurope. Itis known as tho chemical, or eloctro-motograph, tolephone. It is not used in this country beeauso of contracts with othor telophone compunica, This clectro-motoyraph pene Mr. Edison has found upplicablo to many things, and it is sald that it presents as wide afield to the pro- duction of now telegruphic inventions us docs elestro-magnetism. It is, in fact, Asubstitute for oleetro-magnotism, Although Mr. Edison has Deon aware of the powers of the electro-ihoto- gruph for sono timo und {te value ns 9 trans- mitter of mechanical motion, it was "not until a very recent period that he applied himacif to tho construction and perfection of a machine by which telegraphy can be carried on by the use of the clectru-motograph principle equally as well as by tho uso of clovtric magnetism. * ee WEATHER NOTES.

C., March 8,.—There is a Probability that the Ute Agreemunt bill may en- counter defeat in the House Committee, Sov- eral weeks baye elapsed sinco a draft of this bill was submitted by Scerctary Schurz, but nothing haa been dono with it boyond a formul reading onthe day of tho Inst regular mecting. Tho Colorado delegation were never friendly to the bill, because it was considered to be too Iboral to tho Utes. Itdid not in epocliic terms provide for thelr exclusion from tho State, Tha nego- tintions with tho Indians were had by Secretary Schurz without conferring with the Colorado delegation or with tho Indian Cominittees of the two Houses of Congress. When tho result was known tho’ Colorada — Congress- men were angry, becnuse they thought the Beeretary hail conceded too much, and now the Indian Committee of the House, becnure ho conceded too little, Gov. Pound, a member of the Committee, from Wisconsin, who might be supposed to represent the, moderate Western idea as to what should be the Government policy toward the Utes, says there fs a deelded opposi- tion to tho bill In the Committee. The Delegates from New Mexico and Utah are opposed to any arrangement which wil thrust 60 unwelcome na eloment of population us these Ute Indinna into thelr Territories, There 1s n strong sentiment in the Committeo that the Utes should not bo forced to leuvp Colorado go long as thero is suf cient arabio land thre for their subsistence, THERE 19 AIO A FEELING of disantisfaction in the Committee at tho methods employed by Secrotary Seburain brin, ing about this negotiation, which, it {s claimed, wus too much In the nature of a star-chamber Proceeding, and may not, therefore, reflect the wishes of the Indians on the subject of their re- moval, ‘The negotiation has at feust the loot of unfulrness about it,. Sore than this, tho claugo iu the agreement whero the Indlans a; to take lands in soveralty traverses groun the Committees is conside: and on which Tegtstation is now pending in tho shape of onc or nore bills on the calendar, ‘Tho system, if god in tho caso of the Utes, will be benoficlal to all Indians on resorvations In the West. In leg islating upon this subject, therefore, Mr. Schurz, thoy clalm, hns usurped functions belonging to the Indian Committees, But even the silop- tion of the soveralty system of locating Indians would not drive thein out of tho State of Colorn- do, whero thoy now own 12,000,000 acrea of Innd. Af this feeling of opposition to the bill is ns gon- eral os it gives promise of being, the bill will not pass the House, und the Ute problem will be no nearor a solution than nt tho beginning.

Of course, HIll canuot accomplish his object, no matter what his personal spite may: ‘bo, unless ho can force tho united Democracy to a party voto upon thisquostion.
