BELLS DENY HISSTATEME: wit. {PAfer Attorney General Garland’s testimony closed yesterday, Dr. Rogers and Hon, Casey Young, were examined before the Pan-Electric investigating committee. Mr. Young put in evidence certain records of the Department of the Interior. He demanded the privilege, also, of introducing evidence of the propriety of the government’s bringing the suit He sald he proposed to prove by com- petent evidence that the patent that had been attacked by thegovermment had been ob- tained by fraud from the Patent office; that the officer who gave it was derelict in his duty; that he issued the patent through corrupt influence and that he was paid by the patentee to issue the patent. ‘These facts he would prove by papers or witnesses, WILBER'S AFFIDAVIT. The sensation of the day was caused by Mr. Van Benthuysen, who introduced in support of his testimony an affidavit made by Zenar Fisk Wilber, who was the principal examiner in the Patent’ office, in charzeof a division embracing allapplications tor patents relating to electri- cal inventions during the years 1875, 1876 and until May 1, 1877, about which latter date he was promoted to be examiner of interferences. A vigorous opposition to its reception or read- ing was maintilined by some of the committee- men and an executive session was ordered tor to-day, when the propriety of the paper being Teceived as evidence will be discussed. Wilber says that as examiner the application of Alexander Graham Beil, upon which was granted letters putent March’7, 1876, for “mul- Uple telegruphy,” was referred’ to him, and was by him personally examined and passed’ to issue, and that he (Wilber) gave the affidavits in thé Bell controversy which were used at the hearing before the commission in the In: depurtinent, cousisting of Secretary Lama: sistant Secretaries. Muldrow and. Jenks ‘and Commissioner of Patents Montgomery, which commission sat for Lae purpose of adyising the Department of Justice us to the advisability and propriety of the general government bring- ing the suit against the Beil company. THE PREVIOUS AFFIDAVITS, He says that in none of these affidavits did he teli the exact facts and the entire truth, but that now, in order that _parcies may be vindi- truth,” regardless of conseque without hope or promise of reward. te then declares that the previous afMdavits were executed July 30 and August 3, 1385; October 10, 1585; No- vember 7, 1385, and Uelober 21, 1885. That One of these aflidavits, viz., the oe October 21, 1885, was given at the request of the Bell com: Quny'by St. Swan, of its counsel, when he, Vilber, was suffering from alcoholism; that he was, in'effect, duped to sign it—not fully real- izing the statements therein contained, and that Mr. Swan paid him $100 thereon for the Bell company. Wilber tien'goes on to tell how Elish: was deprived o! proper opportunity to establish his right to the invention of the telephone. “The attorneys for Prot, Bell,” he says, “were | Messrs. Pollok and Bailey; that the latter and he were old army triends; ‘that he (Wilber) w: poor when he became exciiner, and. con: quently was in constant straits tor ready money Mud nad several times borrowed irom Major Bailey, notwithstanding an order prohibiting employes of the Patent office trom borrowing from attorneys practicing before the office of from iuventors.” | He was, he says, conse- quently in debt to Major Bailey at the time of the application of Bell, and in addition was under obligations for a present to his (Wiiber's) wife—a very handsome and expensive gold hunting case watch, “Heeling thus in his power irom the Obligations noted, surrounded by such environments,” Wilber ‘says he called upon to act oflicially upon the appli tions of Bell; tat wuen he nded Bell's ap- plication because of the Gray caveat he didnot, in the ollicial letter to Beil, give the name of the caveator, nor his date ot filing. Major Balley appearing before him in regard to such suspen- sion, he allowed him to become acquainted with both tacts, telling him personally the same, so that he Immediately knew the exact fucts upon Which to base the protest be subse- quenuly filed against sach suspension and which was reierred by Wilber to the comunissioner in person for instructions, THE AWARD IN FAVOR OF BELL. He then declares that he did not make as thorough an examination as he should have done in justice to all concerned, as to which ap- plication was filed the earlier, and that when he iound in the “cash blotter” the entry of the receipt 01 Beil’s fee abead of that of the receipt Of Gray’s fee he closed the examination and de termined that Bell was the earlier, whereas 1 should have called tor proofs trém both Bell and Gray and have investigated in other direc- Uons, instead of being controlled by the entries alluded to and the statements o1 Major Bailey ‘The etfect of this, he says, was to throw Gray out of court without his having had an oppor- tunity to be heard, or of having his rights pro- tected, and the issuance ot the patent hurriedly and in advance of is turn to Beil. Alter telling that he borrowed some 1aore money from Bailey, he said that when the sus- pension of Bell's application had been revoked Prof, Bell called upon Sim and showed him the original drawing of Gray's caveat, and fully ex- plained Gray's method of transinitting and re- | ceiving. Wilber at the same time showed and explained Gray's drawings and methods. This visit Was cither the next day or the second day atter the revocation of the suspension. He then says; “About 2 p.m. ofthe same day he (Beil) returned to the oilice for a short. time. On his leaving L accompanied him into the hall and around the coruer into a cross all leading into the courtyard, where Prof, Bell. presented me with a $100 bill. Tam fully aware that this statement will be denied by Prot. Bell, and that probably the statements I have made as to iny relations with Major Bulley aud his intlu- ence will be denied, but, nevertheless, they are true, and they are stated, subscribed, and sworn, tw by me while my mind is cleat, and: my conscience active u..d bent on rectifying, as far as possible, any wrong 1 may have "done. Gray's caveat was & secret confidential docu: mentunder the law, and I shoula not have been influenced to divulge the same; but I did 80, as related.” ONE NUNDRED DOLLARS RECEIVED, Wilber makes with his affidavit a diagram of the room (No. 118), the hali aud the cross hall, where, he says, Prot, Bell handed him the $100 bill, He says Bell “in his testimony in the Dowd case admits having had a conversation Gray fornia induced Senator Stanford to introduce a bill to allow California five per cent of the proceeds of the sales of public lands within the ‘state's borders for public school purposes, The agent represented that other states had had the benetlt of such a provision but in the admission ‘of Califorvia it was overlooked. Last Wednes- day the bill was reached on tue calendar and luuch to the surprise of those taking an interest in it Mr, Stanford objected to its con- sideration. He had ascertained that the state agent had a contract with a former state gov- ernment by which he was to get twenty per centot the money in cuse the law could be passed. ‘That would yield him about $160,000. Air, Stanford thought that wo big a price to pay and so objected to the bill. Since then the agent has agreed to anuul ‘his contract and trust to the state to compensate bln for his ser= Mees, So the Sonator has consented to press e bill. +0 Affairs in West Washington. ‘Tue PutLoxouostaN DeBaTe.—The annual debate of the Philonomosian Society of George- town college will take place at the college next ‘Tuesday aiternoon. ‘The question for debate is: “Ought Chinese tmmigration tobe prohibited by the United States?” Messrs.

Schnadhorst, who controls the whole liberal organization in the country, had a iong interview with Glad- stone recently, the result of which was to give the latter immensely renewed confidence of the issue of a general election and cause a cor- responding increase of alarm among those members who are intending to oppose him. The greatest pressure is being brought to bear upon the latter from ail quarters. Several have already gone buck to their allegiance to ¢ stone, Ilearn the latter is now determined to take the final step of calling A GENERAL MEETING OF THE LIBERAL PARTY Just before the second reading is voted. This Will be held here, Gladstone himself and a number of the cabinet ministers will meet prominent liberals in the country and address The result is certain to be such an un- paralleled declaration of confidence and sup- Port 4s will almost remove the choice from any waverer, The government is also endeavoring to protract the discussion as long as possible every day giving them a better chance 0! catching another vote or two, A list of nearly seventy members desirous of speaking in favor | Of the bill has been drawn up aud submitted to | Gladstone.

Yet, now Arch is preparing to stamp the country against him. Altogether Chamberlain Is feeling very unhappy at bis recent experiences, and TALK OF A RECONCILIATION 4s once more in the air. Hartington is said, on pretty good auti@eity, in spite of ail denials, to be ready to vote for a lution declar- ing that the government of Ireland should be laced in the hands of an Irish body or vodies, 1 course the Irish members would not stand the words “or bodies.” So, even if this is true, it does not help matters. The outlook is, however, much brighter for the bill, “The special correspondence of the Birmingham Post, Which is generally supposed to be dictated directly by Chamberlain, says it may on. the whole be expected that’ matters wiil not be drives to an extremity on either side, but that the opposing forces would adopt an armistice ou conditions fairly satistactory to both. Again, referring to the rumors of ageneral meeting of the party, itsays: “This is most important and highly significant. It points to a reumion of the Chamberlain and Gladstone groups upon # basis of autonomy to Ireland.” A DRAMATIC INCIDENT, The incident tn the commons iast night when Gladstone peremptorily and almost angrily rose and waved Chamberlain, who wished to speak upon a question addressed to the prime minis- ter, back to his seat, amid the voclierous cheers of the Irish members, shows how high and bitterly personal feeling 1s running.
