C, MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1897-FOURTEEN PAGES. TWO CENTS. go Decisions Handed Down in Several Important Causes. THE STOCK TICKER CASE REMANDED ’ Validity of the Six Months’ Rule of the Patent Office Affirmed. SS Se ANNOUNCEMENTS UTHER The Supreme Court of the United States today ienied the petition for a writ of cer- tiorari in the case of the American Bell ‘Telephone Company vs. the Western Un‘on Telegraph Company to compel the circuit court of appeals for the first circuit to cer- tify the case to the Supreme Court. The case involves the question of royalties claimed from che Bell Company by the Western Un‘cn Company and was original- ly brought in the circuit court for the dis- trict of Massachusetts to secure an ac- count of these royalties. It is understood that about $5,000,000 is involved. It appears that after instituting the suit the West- ern Union sought to have it dismissed, and afer it was dismissed the Bell Company appealed to the circuit court of appeal when the decision of the circuit court was reversed. Tre Western Union Company soug.' to have the case reviewed by the Supreme Court, bat the opinion rendered today denies this petition. This has the ‘ect of taking the case back to the cir for further proceedings, in accord- the decision of the circuit court Tae case is known as the ker” case. An International Question Advanced. A motion to advance was entered in the of Thomas Phillips Bryant by Lorenzo ple. The case is an appeal from the on of the circuit court for the south- ern district of New York, dismissing writs of certiorari and habeas corpus for the purpose of securing Bryant's release. Bry- ant is under arrest upon charges of for- gery, embezzlement and larceny, filed by the consul general of Great Britain in New York, and a warrant has been is- sued by the Secretary of State for his cx- tradition. In the motion tiled today it ‘is asserted that the circuit court had no legal iction, and that its proceedings were in vioiation of the Constitution of the United States and the treaties-of extradi- lion between the United States and Great u. The court took the matter un- ivisement. Verdicts by Nine Jarocs Invalid. In the case of the American Publishing Company against the Fisher Brewing Com- pany, appealed from the supreme court of the territory of Utah, the court, through Justice Brewer, rendered an opinion hold- ing as invalid the territorial statute vali- dating verdicts in civil cases In which only nine jurors cencur. Tne ground on whicn the law was pronounced objectionable is found in the seventh amendment to their constitution and in the federal law con- firming the statutes of the various terri- tories “so far as they authorize a uniform « of proceeding in ail cases, whether legal or equizable.” ‘The court expressed tne opinion that unl- formity was a prerequisite in ali territorial <eses. No opinion was expressed as to the validity of such a law under a state form of government. The case itself involved a claim of $20,000. Patent Office Rule Sustuined. The Scpreme Court today handed down a decision by Chief Justice Fuller which has the effect of sustaining the six-months' rule ot the patent office. The decision was ren- red in the case of Hein against the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. Hein applied for a writ of mandamus to compel the Court of Appeals to near and decide an appeal taken more than forty ays from the decision of the commissioner oi patents, the forty-days rule being one ot the court rules of the Court of Appeais. Hein claimed that he had two years in which to take this appeal and that this time limit was provided for in the Revised Statutes. ¥ He claimed tnat the court rule Ss contrary to tne statutes, and conse- invalld, and prayed for the writ of mandamus to set the decision of the court aside. The Supreme Court decided, how- ever. that the court rule was valid, and this has the effect of practically establishing the patent office rule limiting the appeals which can be taken from one tribunal in th to another to six moi gieton and F. W. Ritter appeared tor Hein the petitioner, and W. A. Megrath, | clerk of the patent office, argued the case for the Court of Appeals and the patent office. Other Decisions of Significance. The Supre court affrmed the decision of the we Court of Washington in the case from that state brought to enjoin the state and county authorities from levying upon the safes, time locke and other personal rty of the banks for the purpose of ng @ tax upon the capital stock of nks under the state law of 1801. It contended that the ‘law was in con- with section of the Revised Stat- «s of the United States. but the court +t such was not the case. Gray rendered the opinion of the 2 the case of Morris L. Gladson agt. State of Minnesota, affirming the deci- of the state supreme ‘court. The case involved the validity of the Minnesota state Jaw requiring all passenger trains on state railroads to stop at county seats which are railroad stations, which today’s opinion affirms. Texas Anti-Trust Cases. The court advanced the Texas anti-trust cases on the docket to be heard on the seccad Monday of the next term. The law Toversy defines trusts and declares them to illegal. Several arrests were made under it, but the prisoners were re- ieased by the federal circuit court on mo- tion for habeas ccrpus, The state authori- ties appeal to the supreme court. Edward L. Shaw filed a motion for a writ of certiorari to the circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit in the case of the Mu- tual Life Insurance Company agt. Nellie Phinney, executrix of the estate of Guy C. Phinney, to have the case brought to the preme Court. The case involves an in- France policy of $100,000. It was decided against the insurance company by the Cal- ifornia federal courts. +e- COMMISSIONS SI ED. The First Acts of the President on His Return. Among the first acts of the President this afternoon was to issue the commission of Capt. Crowninshield of the navy as chief of the bureau of navigation, Navy Depart- ment, and Mr. Thos. W. Cridler as third assiztant secretary of state, whose nomina- tions were confirmed by the Senate during S absence. bui who were not able to enter upon the discharge of their new duties until #-ter they had received their commissions. These formalities were observed today, and the two officials named were duly in- stalled im their new offices. Mr. Hobart’s Residence. Vice President Hobart has leas*d the residence of J. Don Camercn on Lafayette *quare for four years. Indignation Among Republicans at the Sen- 5 atorial Complication. The Fight of Two Ambitious Men— Losing by the Wrangle—Mr. Blackburn’ Purpose. ‘The senatcrial situation in Kentucky ex- cites no little indignation in the bosoms of the republican leaders her2. The repub- licans have a clear majority of the legis- lature. By united action they could have disposed of the matter’ of electing a suc- cessor to Mr. Blackburn in one day. The legislature met in extra session, with the senatorship on the cards for action, on the 13th of March. A month, therefore, has gone by, and yet no senator has veen chosen. Two Ambiilous Men. The story, in vart, is that of two ambi- tious men fighting for supremacy. Dr. Hunter is the republican candiate, regu- larly neminated, and entitled, therefore, by party usage, to the support of every republican member of the legisia- ture. The state central committee like- wise has indorsed his candidacy. But he lacks ene or two votes of the requisite number, and these votes are iniluenced in their opposition by Gov. Bradicy, who, ap- parently, would rather see no choice made at all than that the choice should fall on his party's nominee. The Question of Patronage. The question of federal patronage also enters into the contest. The Bradley people in the state, who are not numerous in this matter, fear that If Dr. Hunter, or any man of his naming, is cnosen, they wil! be elbowed to the rear. This intensifies their fight. They are anxious to defeat Dr. Hun- ter both because of Governor Bradley's per- scnal hostility to him, and to make placcs for themselves at what is familiarly called the “pie counter.” The Hunter people, for their part, well undersiand that if Governor Bradley is permitted to dominate the selec- tion they will all be blacklisted and an effort made to shut them out from any share in favors here. And so it gces. Losing by the Wrangle. The republicans of Kentucky, it is well recognized in Washington, are losing heav- fly by this wrangle. They-are-not being considered at the White House in con- nection with the general division of the patronage, and will not be so. considered until they elect a senator. There are scme excellent and very deserving men among them, who in other circumstances would stand well to the front at this time with the President. He has iold more than one of them this himself. The party leaders here fully justify him in his stand. Mean- while the republicans from other states are picking out places, and fortifying their ap- plications for them, and will, of course, when the distribution fairly. begins, have greatly the advantage of men who have been delayed in starting to work. Mr. Blackburn's Plans. The democratic program at Frankfort remains unchanged. Mr. Blackburn is on the ground, and in charge of his forces. His main purpose is to defeat an election, in the hope of carrying the, next legisla- ture and sucéécding himself.” Failing in that, he would be glad to see Gov. Bradley chosen. Some of his followers have been openly coquetting, with-the Brailey people to this end. It is a strange combination, this proposed union of. silver democrats and a few gold republicans to elect a sena- tor, but the scheme has freely been can- vassed. The transfer of Gov. Bradiey to the Senate would necessitate the election of a new governor next fall. Mr. Black- burn would then be nomineted for the office, and, if elected, would lay pipe to defeat Mr. Lindsay for the Senate in Jan- uary, 180 But Gov. Bradley's election is not con- sidered at all likely. In fact, it is deubt- ed here if, triumphing by such a surrender of his party's best interests at home, he would be admitted in such circumstances to republican affiliations, in the Senate. — PHYSICIAN TO TH PRESIDENT. Director is Dr. Naval Medical Pe Medical Director » Bates Sac- O'Reilly. ‘wton L. Bates of the United States navy has “succeeded Major Robert O'Reilly of the medical department of the army as physician to the President and his family. There is no such oftive known to the law, and the orders in the case would not indicate any such duties. Dr. O'Reilly was stationed in Washington as attending physician to the officers of the army. and, in addition to his regular duties, he was called on to attend ex-Presi- dent Cleveland and the members of family whenever it was deemed necessar. Inasmuch as the President ts command in-chief of the army and navy, it was ge! of an army surgeon, despit-: he occupied a civil office outside of regular imili- lary establishment. Consequenty it is in- ferred that Dr. O'Reilly resa the chief executive as a military patient, and charged no fees for protessionsl services rendered. Dr. Bates of the navy was the regular 3 n of Major « McKinley during the major's career in Congre eral years ago, and it ts, therefore, natural that he should resume that relation to- ward him on his return to this city in his present exalted capacity. The piysician Was not again called upon to act itr a pro- fessional capacity until the President de- cided upon his present trip on the Dolphii when, as a matter of precaution, he i vited Dr. Bates to accompany him and Mrs. McKinley. Dr. Bates is stationed in this city as chief of ihe naval bureau of hygiene, and his attendance on the. Presi- dent's family will regular duties. , SEV= not interfere with his NEW CHINESE MINISTER. Arrival of the Steamer Gaelic at San Francixco. The steamer Guelic reached San Fran- cisco late Saturday night. On her way across the Pacific the steamer displayed the yellow triangular dragon flag of China at heseasthead in honor of Minister Woo Ting Fong, who will represent the Em- peror of China in “America, Spain and Peru. He and his suite occupied nearly all the state rooms in the vessel. ‘There are in tative: rly sixty consular represen- seecretarics and attaches in his suite, and they were given alk the com- forts and privileges of the steamer. At Honolulu the vessel was held in port near- ly a day to give Woo Ting Fon portunity to see the island ciiy and caten a glimpse of South Sea iife. ‘The peacably- inclined Chinese look to Woo Ting Fong to settle the dispute now existlag between the See Yups and the Sam Yu an op- —-e-—_____ THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

REACHED WASHINGTON AT NOON Both Show That the Vacation Has ‘Been Beneficial TODAY’S CALLERS The Dolphin, having on board President and Mrs. McKinley and the party which left with them last Wednesday, reached her wharf at the navy yard a few minutes afier noon today, and in ten minutes the Presi- dent and wife and the remainder of tre rarty were in carriages cn their way to the White House, which was reached at 12:40 o'clock. . By~1 o'clock the President was at his desk, but orders were ieft that no callers would be received during the afternoon, the chief executive desiring to xo over his mail, receive calls from cabinet ¢fiicials, if necessary, and, in short, to have a few minutes in which to get ready for the rush which is expected tomorrow. The Dolphin was sighted off River View between 11 and 11:30 o'clock in tow of a government tng. Over three-quarters cf an hour was taken to round the dangerous point of the inlet and reach the wharf. The few visitors in the navy yard and the swarm of workmen who got off for lunch at 12 o'clock, made quite a little party at the wharf. It Was the Cat. The fact that thirteen seamen had been detailed to assist in the fastening of the Dolphin and the placing of the plank, caus- ed the superstitious in the crowd to fear an accident, but ideas of good luck im- mediately took the place of this fear when one of the Dolphin’s cats walked unto the gang plank at least five minutes before it was ready for service. The cat sur- veyed the scene and then went back to the boat. President and Mrs. McKinley catne off the boat together, both showing in their ces that the trip had been invigorating. Mrs. McKinley walked with more ease than for days. Her only support was the President's right arm and her cane. Fol- lowing President and Mrs. McKinley were Mrs. Saxton, Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Porter andi Secretary Porter and Dr. Bates. President McKinley bid the officers and crew of the Dolphin good-bye with a salute of his silk hat and smiles. Mrs. McKinley smiled pleasantly and bowed repeatedly to the doffed caps and faces which expressed hopes for a happy fuiure. Cheered on Lenving. As the President and Mrs. McKinley walked slowly down the gang plank a hearty cheer was sent up, accompanied by the waving of hats and caps. This was re- sponded to in happy style by the two peo- ple whom those present honored. As the carriage containing the President and his wife was driven through the navy yard squads of workingmen raised their hats, the President doing likewise. At the gate of the navy yard was a com- pany of marines, drawn up in two lines, through which the carriage passed, the marines saluting. Office Seekers Disappointed. Under the impression that the President had returned last night, the office-seekers started to the White House full of hope this morning. Congressmen made up a considerabie part of the number. Senator Platt and State. Chairman Hackett were among the earliest callers, but they went back to their hotel on learning that the President would not get in until afiernoon. The President will probably send in a good many nominations tomorrow. He gave no thought to these things while down the river, but he will have time this afternoon and tomorrow to give consid- eration to offices which need filling. Mr. Loomis’ Place. It is authoritatively given out here that some time this month the President will nominate Frank B. Loomis of Ohio as min- ister to Venezuela. Mr. Loomis {s well known here and throughout the country. He was stationed at Canton jast year as the correspondent of the United Press, and wen the confidence and respect of the President. He was formerly editor of the Cincinnati Tribune. Mr. Loomis was in the consular service under. President Cleveland. He is to be married on the 29th of this month, and will take his bride with him to Venezuela. ‘there is a story today that the Presi- dent intends to appoint T. V. Vowderly, former master workman of the Knighis ef Labor, as commissioner of immigra- tion. Judge Day of Canton will begin his work tomorrow preparatory to going to Cuba. Deputy Patent Commissioner, There is @ good deal of interest among examiners of the patent office in regard to the appointment of a deputy commissioner of patents. W. H. Doolittle, senior mem- ber of the firm of Doolittle & Son of this city, formerly deputy commissioner, is, it is sald, likely to receive the appointment. Benefit Apparent. That great benefit had been derived from the short water trip by the whole party was immediately apparent when the car- riages discharged their loads at the White House door. The President stepped out first of all very nimbly, and with the as- sistance of the maid helped out Mrs. Mc- Kinley. She had a happy smile for the per- sons who stood by to greet her, and ap- peared to be much stronger than when she left the White House a few days ago. Her aeale was more confident and her general ealth showed signs of improvement. The movements of the Dolphin since the vessel sailed away from Annapolis Satur- day noon were controlled by the wish on the part of the President to avoid haste and prolong the trip until today. So Sat- urday night the vessel came to anchor off Blackiston Island, about ten miles inside of the mouth of the Potomac, and the party slept in quiet water well into Sunday morn- ing. Then at breakfast it was determined to attend religious service if a church could be reached. The maps were overhauled to find the largest nearby town, and this hap- pened to be the interesting and historical place called Leonardtown, at the head of Breton bay, in Maryland. The Dolphin drew too much water to get up to the head of the bay, so the party took to the steam launch, and towing the dingey behind, ran up to the old town and landed. It was too late, however, to hear services ir the only one of the churches that had been opened that morning, so the presidential party strolled over the town for an hour, the President being greeted at every ‘point by persons who recognized him either from his appearance or from his attending es- cort of naval officers in full dress uniforms. Short Stay at Leonardtown. ‘The personal flag of the President, which floated over the Dolphin, may have also had something to do with giving noticé to the country people that the President was in town. The short stay in Leonardtown was much enjoyed, and Mrs. McKinley, who insisted on accompanying her hus- band, came back to the ship without fatigue. Returning to the Dolphin, the ship’ cruised “along up “the river slowly, and by evening agaify eto anchor in the neighborhood ‘ef Maryjand Point. Here a native oysterm@h came aboard with a present of some fine| oysters, fresh from the river, which eh At accepted by the President and gratefully appreciated by the others of the party, An early start was made up the Tiver this morning, and the Dolphin reached the navy yard-without-in- cident. Donations of: Potomac shad were received at other points of the trip. The President enjoyed hig vacation be- yond all expectations. If was the first ‘he had had for sevefal years, and actually the first of the kind he had-ever had. He was interested in everything he saw, most of the sights being:novel to him. He wore @ naval cap,.Jooking Uke; a yachtsman, ‘spent hours im inspecting every corner of the boat, and questioned the officers and sailors about everything he saw. Work was not permitted, and the only suggestion of official life was the tri-daily weather reports, which Were welcomed, and a tele- gram received at Annapolis from Secretary Alger, telling briefly what had been done for the relief of the flood sufferers. When he. returned to the White House this afternoon the President announced that he would see no callers in connection with private affairs during the remainder of the day.. That was the first application of a new rule which the President decided upon while on his trip. Hereafter he will not receive personal calls after 1 o'clock, but will give up his time after that hour each office day to the consideration of mat- ters of public business solely. Nashville Wants the President. A delegation of Nashville, Tenn., people are in the city at the Ebbjtt and will call upon the President, with ex-Representative Brownlow, to invite the chief executive to visit the Tennessee exposition, fixing what- ever time best suits him.* The delegadon feels confident the President will accept.

The re- cent and prospective: changes among the general officers will necessitate a further shifting of stations. The command of the Department of the Dakota at St. Paul was vacated by the transfer of Gen. Brooke to the command of the, Department of the Missouri at Chicago. The command of the: Department of the Colorado at Den- ver will becomé vacant by the retirement of Maj. Gen. Wheaton early next month. His retirement will alse. result in the pro- motion of Gen.

GOV. MOUNT’S REQUEST ee ee The funeral of the late Mr. Daniei W. Voorhees, ex-senator from Indiana, took place this afiernocn at 12:10 0 c ock from St. John’s Church. Later in the afternoon the remains were taken to Indianapolis, where they will lie in state. The interment will be at Terre Heute, probably some time Fri- day. The body was remeved from the home, on Capitol Hill, to the church a short time be- fore the hour set for the funeral. The cor- tege included a number of carriages occu- pied by senators, the Senate having ad- journed out of respect for the memory of the man who was for so many years @ prominent and popular member of that body. The black cloth-covered casket was almost hidden from view under a mass of flowers, tributes from friends and from the former associates of the dead statesman. The Chureh Crowded. St. John’s Church was crowded long be- fore the hour set for the service, in the gathering being scores of men of national prominence, aswell as many well-known Washingionians who came to be well ac- quainted with Mr. Voorhees during his long residence in this city. In the front part of the church seats were reserved for the family, for the honorary pailbearers, the members of the Senate who were present, though not officially, and for the Indiana delegation in Congress. The services at the church were very simple and bri-f, but thorough!y im re: sive. They were conducted by Rev. Dr. Mackay- Smith, the rector of the church, assisted by Rev. R. 8. W. Wood, who read a portion of the burial service of the Protestant Episcu- Pal Church. No address was made.

Taken to Indiana. immediately after the exercises at the church the remains were escorted to the Pennsylvania station, where they were placed in a special car attached to the 2:20 train for the west. It was originally intended to go direct io Mr. Voorhees’ old home, Terre Haute, but yesterday after- noon tke family here received a teiegram from the private secretary of the governor of Indiana whieh read as follows: ‘Gov.

An Order to Sell 1.348 Shares Bank Stoc! Upon the petition of Jeremiah M. Wilson and the American Security and Trust Com- pany, executors of the estate of the late George E. Lemon, Judge Hagner, sitting in the Probate Court, has signed an order authorizing and empowering them to sell at private sale 1,348 shares of the capital stock of the National Bank of the Republic at $221 a share. The petition was, it is understood, sub- mitted to Judge Hagner Saturday ‘after- noon. In It the executors stated that the will of Capt. Lemon provided for specific legacies aggregating $261,000, including a sum not exceeding $10,000 for the erection of a monument. The assets of the per- sonal estate, they showed, amount to about $821,374.86, including the 1,348 shares of the capital stock of the National Bank of the Republic, pictures valued at about $20,000, bric-a-brac and furniture amounting to and jewelry worth about $237.75. To pay these legacies, the executors stated, requires the sale of the bank stock, the 1,348 shares being a majority of the capital stock of the bank. This: stock, the executers stated, of the par value of $10) a share, has been ap- praised at $221 a share, and from certain responsible parties, they said, they had an offer to purchase it at its said appraised value. That offer they had accepted, fur- ther stated the executor, subject, of course, to the court’s consent and approval, be- lieving that the offer was the best obtain- able, and believing that it would be best to all. concerned to sell the stock as an entirety. Upon that showing Judge Hagner signed the order authorizing and empowering the executors to sell and dispose of at private sale the said 1,348 shares of the bank's stock at and for a sum equal to the ap- praised value thereof—that is, for $221 a share, the aggregate sum being $297,908. Neither the petition of the executors nor the court’s order disclosed the names of the parties making the cffer. 5 a SHORT SENATE SESSION. Adjournment in Honor of the Memory of Mr. Voorhees. The Senate met at noon for the first time since the death of ex-Senator Voor- hees, who, until a recent day, was a con- spicuous member of the body. The opening prayer of Rev.
