The quarantine at the White House caused by the illness of Martens Harrison with scarlet fever was raised today. The local health officer visited the White House today and removed the two red cards in- dicating the presence .of a contagious disease. These have been up for a month, and the house. has been closed to the public for that period. It will not be opened for a few days in order to admit of its thorough disinfection. The Uttle patient is now fally recovered and the other children of the household escaped the disease entirely. No Relief From Telephone Charges. As tHe result from inquiries made at the pat- ent office and elsewhere the inference is de- rived that contrary to general expectation there 4s small prospect that any relief will come to telephone subscribers as the result of the expi- ration of the principal patents combined in the instrament now in use by the public. That ts the opinion of officials of the patent office, who, while the matter of the patents themselves has passed beyond their jurisdiction, yet havea ‘more or loss intimate knowledge of the subject, owing out of years of experienceand associa- with the business. The opinion of the de- partment upon the Berliner claim, which wae rendered about a year ago, cleared the dockets of the office so far as patents upon the princi- Picet telephony was concerned. ‘The eltuation about this: The Bell Telephone Company has so com- pletely covered the field with its wires and ex- changes that it will be exceedingly dificult, practically tmpossible, it is believed, for any 0} position to successfully establish itself. In Cities and towns not already provided with tele- phone service a now company might have an equal chance with the Bell company, but that is the extent of probable competition. Another fact which will operate to prevent any mate- rial decrease in the rats of telephone rentals is that while patents on the transmitter and the principle of transmitting sound by electricity ve expired the telephone in general use is a combination of more than 200 patents, many of which are comparatively new and bave there- fore long terms torun. With these conditions obtaining a new service, in the estimation of | eqaok icials, would necessarily be inferior to tho present one, and for that reason would fail to furnish effective competition. —_--—______. Senator Teller on the Supreme Court. Senator Teller of Colorado, who isa member of the judiciary committee, is quoted as say- ing, apparently on inside information: “It is my opinion that if Judge Gresham does not go into Mr. Cleveland's cabinet he will, before many months, be on the Supreme bench here. Mr. Cleveland will have three places on that bench to fill soon. Blatchford and,Field will retire soon on account of age. will, by special act, doubtless retire Justice Lamar early in the next session of Congress. Every- body knows that Justice Lamar is incapacitated by ill health. He has reached the age for re- tirement, but has not been in the service ten years, as required by law. Lamar is old and poor, and we are going to pension him by re- tiring him by special act of Congress. If Gi is not in the cabinet he will, { suspect, take Lamar's place.” The Anti-Option Bill, Some of the antagonists of the anti-option bill are saying that they have given up hope of defeating the measure and that it will be passed by the Senate ina few days. There is no doubt, however, that if there is truly an earnest determination to kill the bill it will be a simple matter to do so. The opposition will talk against it as long as they can do a0 without ap- pearing openly as filibusters. If after that they have a mind to filibuster in the open they can defest the bill. The Senate is very back- ward with appropriation bills, which have been delayed on account of the anti-option bill. Three appropriation bills are now burg up over there and in less thana week they will have three or four more from the House. Ifthe anti- option bill isnot disposed of by that time, it special order for the consideration of the sil- ver suspension bill early next week. It will have no cloture attachment, but many of the most active silver men are’ now convinced that acloture amendment to the resolution can be adopted in the House, A voteon the bill in the House is expected within two weeks. ——___- ‘Will Be Ready Tomorrow. Secretary Foster has informed Chairman Springér that he will be ready tomorrow togive him the information called for by the subeom- ‘mittee of the waysand means committee inves- tigating the condition of the government finances, Mr. Springer expects to have a meet- ing of the subcommittee at the Preasury De- partment tomorrow. ‘To Reduce the Pension Roll.

In reply to the request of a citizen for per- mission to place an iron ring in the curb in front of his residence Building Inspector En- twisle has rendered an adverse report. Rings in curbs, he says, are dangerous to pedestrians, and for that reason he has ordered several be removed. He recommends that the permit | be not granted and the Commissioners have ap- roved it, Commissioner Dougiass adding to it | his indorsement, “I believe in hitching posts.” WILL SEND THEM TO THE COURTS. Hardly ® day passes that the Commissioners ‘are not appealed to to order the cancellation of taxes against certain lots, There are any num- ber of acts of Congress which provide for the cancellation of taxes due a certain time, and all who seek relief quote from them. Capt. Rosell seems to be about tired of approvin, these requests,and he basasked the board to sen all these cases in the future to the courts, as there may be some way to defeat some of them.
