Reported Reinstatement of Prof. Gray’ Caveat— What Commissioner Mont xomery Says. There is much excitement in telephone cir- cles to-day over the report that Prof. Gray’s original application for telephone patent has been reinstated at the Patent office. ‘The re- Ported action 1s not equivalent to issu! patent to Prof. Gray, but it reopens the case in the Patent office independently of the suits in the courts, and the Pan-Electric people con- fidently predict that a decision favorable to Prog Gray will be had in the department be- fore the matter is settled in the court: ASrax reporter asked Commissioner Mont- gomery concerning this rumor, and he said: “The filing of applications for patents and of caveats in this office belongs to the secret archives, and I would have no right to divulge anything that may be recorded in this way. 1 can say, however, that I have heard nothivg of any uppileation or caveat ot Gray for several months past.” —— Personal Movements.

Sickles who made an error of Judgment at the battle of Gettysburg. The controversy, Gen. Sickles says, Is not between Gen. Meade and himself ‘only, but that nearly all the corps commanders disputed the accuracy of Meade’s report of the battle. He says Gen. Meade’s letter must have been written without deliberation, as itis tall of inaccuracies and contliets with the writer's own statements before the committee on te conduct of the war. “Immediately after Gen, Meade’s report of the buttle of Gettysburg,” says Gen. Sickles, “Major Geu, Slocum, commanding the right wing of the urmy ot'the Potomae at Gettys- burg, in an official communication to Gen. Meade, arraigas him for a series of inaccara: cles, to use the mildest phrase in Gen. Moade’s report of Gettysburg, by_ which great injustice was done to Gen. Slocum and the corps at his command. Alter reciting so much of Gen. Meade's report as relates to the operation of his (Slocum’s) command, Gen. Slocum said: *Yet the fuets in the ease are very nearly the reverse of the above in every particular, and directly in contradiction to the facts as set forth in the reports of Gens, ry und Williams.’ i n.

Gen.

When General Longstreet attacked General Meude’s leit no preparations had been mae to resist the attack; there was no order of battle. “He deprived me of effective support by withdrawing Muford’s division of cavally.” General Pieusanton is quoted for the state- ment that he had been ordered by Meade to get what cavalry and artillery he could to cover & retreat from Gettysburg, Political Notes.

A QUARTER OF THE SUM WILL PROBABLY BE USED TO INCREASE THE FACILITIES OF THE YARD. At its last session Congress appropriated $1,000,000 for guns for the navy, and the Secretary of the Navy intends that all of the work by the government shall be done at the Washington navy yard. He will shortly con- solidate some of the bureaus of the yard, so that it will be before long almost entirely a government ordnance foundry. The natural advantages of the Washington yard are very superior for ordnance work, while the work- shops are well adapted tor the work, and there isa force of skilled workmen already on hand and @ good supply of machinery and tools. The yard has not sufficient resources, however, for the work on as large scale as is intended, and it will be necessary to provide some addi- tional plant, Secretary Whitney intends using a portion of the one inillion dollars, probably two hundred and fitty thousand dollars, for supplying the necessary plant. ‘The purpose is to increase the facilities of the yard to a capac- ity sufficient to turn out allthe guns required for the navy, and to depend upon gun and steel manufacturers for the guns in the rough, eS eggs oe “Betsy and I are Out.” HUSBAND AND WIFE SEPARATING, THEY DIVIDE THE cows.

Fall Text of Cardinal Taschereau’s Let- ter to Bishops of Canada Announcing the Decision of the Holy See. ‘The following is a translation of Cardinal Tas- chereau’s letter to the Canadian bishops on the subject of the Knights of Labor: “Your Lordship: On the 13th of May last I represented to his eminence to the cardinal pre- fect of the sacred congregation of the propa- ganda the divergencles of opinion expressed by the newspapers of Canada and the United States on the subject of the society of the Knights of Labor, condemned in September, 1884. As it was pretended the effect of this sentence stood suspended by an appeal affirmed to have been ¢arried before the holy see, after modifications had been made in the constitution of this so- clety,I begged his eminence to make known with certainty the position of the church in re- gard toit. A letter trom his eminence, Cardi- nal Simeont, dated the 12th of July, informs me that on the 27th of June last the sacred office, after @ re-examination of the question, main: tained its Judgment of 1884 absolutely ‘in the same terms, which are reproduced in his letter, a onside r “Considering the principles, organization and rules of the society’ of the Knights of Labor as they are set forth, this society must be classed among those whicl have been condemned ac- cording to the instructions of this supreme con- gregation on the 10tu of May, 1854, that tho ishops be enjoined to proceed as weil against is society a& against others of the same kind, and to employ the remedies ordered or advised in sald instructions.” “Your lordship will recall that in my consul- tation of the 5th of October, 1883, I made no Tepresentation of my own upon the principles of the organization and the rules of the society, but I purely and simply transmitted to the holy see an ‘authentic printed copy. ot ts ec sulution, with a prayer to examine it all the more carefully, because this society seemed Wo embrace all branches of work and workers, ich, moreover, its name clearly indicated. The printed appeal to the holy see has been long invoked to create the belief that, pending the final decision, persons could continue to enroil themselves or to remain in the society, provided always that they were sincerely dis: posed to obey the final sentence upon the ap- peal. If that appeal had been really made, it Is impossible that the sacred office should not have been apprised of it, because this matter belongs to its exclusive resort, Consequently, the decision of the 27th of June, communicat to me by his eminence, Cardinal Simeoni, is 1n reply to it. The original sentence has’ been confirmed in its form and tenor. Whereas in this last decision, as in the first, the holy office recommends the bishops to proceed against the society in the manner prescribed in its in. structions of the 10th of May, 1884, I cannot see that there can any longer be any doubt as to the rule to be followed by Catholics of the whole world over whom the jurisdiction of that sacred congregation extends. “Having discharged my duty in conveying to your lordship this decision of the holy see, I beg you to accept assurances of my devotion, (Signed) E. A. CAR, TASCHEREAU, ‘Archbishop of Quebec.” Does This Apply to the United States? Cardinal Gibbons was seen at Cape May last night by a correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, He had received no letter trom Rome in reter- ence to the Knights of Labor, The Baltitnore American of to-day says: Cardi- nal Gibbons is now at Cape May. Father Lee was shown the above dispatch last evening,and said that he did not think it was intended as a ban upon the Knights of Labor as the order ex- ist_here. Cardinal Gibbons uas on several Occasions stated that the Knights of Labor,as he understood the order, aller u carelul suuldy of its aims, was not antagonistic to the church, He looked upon it as. au organization intended toclevate the condition of the laboring man, and to advance his interests by arbitration and other peaceful methods, He said that as lon, as it mainiained its present position it woul have the encouragement of the Catholic cbureh and his best wishes for its success. On several different occasions he has spoken in this strain, notably at the laying of the corner stone of & chureb in South Baltimore a tew months ago. ‘The conditions under which the Canadian ap- peal were made to Rome was pecuiiar, ‘There the order bud rebelied against a denunciation byt WU, Who frequently spoke 1 trom Rome, the vate ition taken by the cardi- nal, bat it is on purely @ local issue, and In no way applies to te order of the Knighis of Labor in the United States.

Views of a Prominent Catholic Clergy- man his City. HE THINKS THE DECISION OF THE HOLY SEE APPLIES ONLY TO CANADA, ASTAR reporter called upon a prominent Catholic clegymun today, who readin the Papers the pope's decision in regard to the Knights of Labor organization. He said: “There has been nothing addressed to any of our (of the United Stutes) yet that Lam aware of, and I think I would know if there was anything of that kind.” He agrees with the archbishop of Milwaukee in the opinion thatthe decision applies only ta the iabor ‘orguntzation of Canada and does not include this country. He bad understood that there was some difference between the slabor organi- zations of the Dominion and the United States, but had not examined the respective consti- tutions and therefore could not speak posi- tively. He said the church recognizes the rigit of laboring people to orgunize lor their pro- tection; that it is periectiy legitimate for them to do sd, aud the church has’ uo objection, pro- vided the organization dves not have any of those features of secrecy which come under the ban of the church: that their right to a secrecy which would preserve ‘to them- seives the business attairs of the organization is legitimate, provided there is nothiug in the the obligations which would come between the individual and his spiritual adviser. So jur a8 be knew there was nothing obnoxious in the organizations of the laboring people o: this country and he was of the impression that tuere would be no interierence by the church, Hesuid the feild of work of the Catholic chure: in this country is particularly among the poor people—the laboring people—and where they Unite to protect their interests and confine themselves to the bounds of law and common- sense and fairness, the church was inclined to upprove. He ulso spoke of the great difference between the condition of laboring people in Europe, especially on the continent, and those of this country, aod said thatis a matter which the church authorities une take into cun- sideration in dealing with such quesiions as that under consideration. The poor people of the continent do not enjoy the liberty which is the privilege of every man of the United States, aud the church must be more vigilant to pro” tect them, He spoke of the French Canadians usa people requiring the watchful eare of the church in order t shield them, and suggested that the decision in regard to labor organi za- tions might be deemed essential there without having any reference to the United States. “He further said that he bad been very much grat. fied at the moderation and good sense that had, asa rule, governed the labori country in their controversies. He said the church had not yet found anything objection- able in the reas Spay ay Sa union, and so far as he knew it had never been suggested that any of these organizations came under the ban of the church, WHAT A PROMINENT WASHINGTON KNIGHT OF LABOR SAYS—THE ORDER MADE UP MOSTLY OF CATHOLICS, Paul T.
