ENGLAND TOLD TO GO SLOW. A Conspiracy for the Deposition of the Sultan a Possibility. IMPORTANT CATHOLIC COKGEESS To Be Held to Discuss Restoring Temporal Tower to the Pope. EUSSIAXS CLAIXT A BIG OIL FIND. rCOPTEtGIIT, 1S91. BT THE KEW TOBK ASSOCIATED TBESS.J BERLIir, Sept 5. The conferences be tween Chancellor Ton Caprivi and Count Kalnoky, the Austrian Prime Minister, at the JIaires Schloss, near Schwartzenau, have ended in their advising the English Government not to be in a hurry to take any diplomatic action in connection with the Dardanelles incident. The tone of the official press here indicates distinctly that the Government is averse to joining Eng land in any hasty remonstrance against the Porte's agreement with Kussia. The JVjrtA German Gazette holds that the Porte's assent to the claims "of Kussia is less important as a breach of treaties than serious as disclosing the new line ol policy adopted by Turkey toward Russia. The Vtanncie Frctse, semi-official, antici pates sharp antagonism between British and ItnsMan influences M Constantinople, and recommends that England become more amenable so far as Egyyt is concerned. In the opinion of the Prcsse the new position of affairs does not involve any danger to the peace of Europe. The other great powers, it holds, have no grounds for taking an active share in England's impending diplomatic measure. The currents of in trigue around the Sultan, which are now in a swollen condition, may be allowed to run their coarse, as the vital interests of Turkey will finally bring everything back to the proper track. THE LIFE OF THE CABCrET TO BE BRIEF. The Imperial Chancellors" recommen dation to Lord Salisbury is explained by official advices from Constantinople to the effect that the life o'f the new Turkish Cabinet will be brief. The highest Turkish circles are indignant over the composition of the new Ministry, and especially at the dismissal of Ghazi Osman, Minister of "War and the Marshal of the Palace. Strong protests have been sent to the Saltan, whose own posiuuu la uieuaceu uy lue mal contents. The reference of the Viennese Prate to the belief that everything will return to the proper track points to the expectation of an carlv collapse of the pro-Russian Ministry. A successful conspiracy for the deposition of the Sultan is among the contingencies that are discussed covertly in diplomatic circles. Premier Kalnoky and Chancellor "Von Caprivi are too deeply engrossed in their conferences and will not witness the coming army maneuvers. It is the expressed convictions in official circles here that Lord Salisbury, relying upon the general ultimate support of the Dreibund Ministers, will accept the advice proffered him and await the outcome of events. mrOETAXCE OF THE CATHOLIC COJTGBESS. The Catholic Congress, which opened on Sunday, and held its closing session to-day, assumed unexpected importance. Over a thousand delegates were in attendance. The leaders of the Centrist party present in cluded Herr Lowenstein, Count Ballestrem, Baron Herrmann, Prince Salmsalm and Baron Kettler. A resolution was adopted declaring that the time had come to con voke a great International Catholic con gress for the consideration of the question of the restoration of temporal power to the Pope and a committee was appointed to ar range for the holding of snch a congress. This committee will probablv select the 15th of May next, the one hundredth anni versary of the birth of Pope Pius IX, for the opening of the Congress. In discussing the question of neutral ground for a place for the meeting of the proposed Congress Switzerland was most in lavor. Delegates will be summoned from every Catholic com munity in the world. The question of the restoration ot temporal power to the Pope, for the consideration of which, as before stated, the congress is to be convoked, will be treated, not as an Italian question, but as one of uni ersal concern. CHEERING TOrE AXD EMPEBOR. The Congress just closed affirmed the de termination of German Catholics to remain resolute supporters of the Dreibund, and decided to continue the policy of Dr. "Wind thorst in working for the recall of the Jesu its and for religious instruction in the pri mary schools. After considerable discussion it was voted to favor State regulation of labor question. The concluding session of the Congress Mas ended amid cheers for the Pope and the Emperor. The removal of the proposition against the importation of American pork into Germany has elicited few press comments. Several Progrcs.it and Socialist papers refer to the satisfactory measure as a relief to the poor clashes. In official circles where is best known the nature of the resistance to the measure and the persistent efforts made in its behalf by Hon. 'William Walter Phelrfs, the United States Minister, his success has evoked many encomiums. Mr. Phelps will prolong his Mijourn at Homburg, where he has been joined by his wife. He is improv ing in health, and is very hanpv over the outcome of his fight on the port question. rOLICE HUNTING A "WRITER. The police hat e been eagerlv hunting for the author of the stories reccnijy published in the French papers regarding the health of the Emperor. Having secured the man uscript of some of the articles they have been interviewing a number of newspaper men in an attempt to find someone who would recognize the handwriting of the manuscript, but all of their efforts have proved unavailing. Attempts to connect Prince Bismarck with the authorship of thee stories have met with an equal lacK of success. The Institute of International law will open its thirteenth Congress at Hamburg on Monday next. During the session the Congress will discuss international legisla tion regarding bankrupts, international law on means of transportation, extradition, the rights of immigrants, the expulsion of lorcigncrs and kindred matters. A Berlin commercial paper publishes de tails of the career in this country of Albert Otto, who is now reported to be speculating heavily in real estate in Chicago. Accord ing to this authority, Otto, who was iorm eriy the general agent in Stuttgart, of, a leading life assurance company, some time ago ran away defrauding some of fctuttgar''s residents of many hundreds of thousands of dollars. OIL NEAR THE CASMA SEA. Hussion advices report the "discovery of great coal oil fields in the region of" the Caspian Sen. The production of these fields is said to be more than ten fold greater thau that ot any other existing oil territory. At the same time Kussian producers com plain bitterly of the competition of the Standard Oil Company, against which they say they are powerless. Efforts have been jn-idetrt create a Russian trust similar to the Standard Oil Company, but the attempt has failed because of a lacfcr ot financial badcing. Director "Werned, of the Boynl Arf Academy, has issued an appeal to German artists to take an active part-in the Chicago "World's Fair. The members of the Chilean Legation in this citv are greatly disturbed over the de feat and downfall of Balmacedo, They fear that their property in Chile will be confis cated and that their lives would be endan gered should they attempt to return to their native country. Secretary Yergana, of the legation, has gone to Paris to consult his chief. The United States Emigration Commis sioners, who have been in Europe Tor some time past studying the emigration question, with a view to the restriction of emigration and the amendment of the naturalization laws of the United States, are now in "War saw, whence they will go to Galicia. Dur ing their tour the Commissioners have made a thorough inquiry into the matter of Bus sian emigration. MAJOB HAHDY'S DILEMMA. Taken for a Hebrew In Bussia and His Passport Held Back on Him. flVT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. IVokdcw, Sept. fi. General Benjamin Butterworth, Major Moses P. Handy and Messrs. Peck and. Bullock, comprising the "World's Pair Promotion Commission in Europe, sailed to-day on the Augusta Vic toria, after a most successful tour of Europe Major Handy has only one sad recollection of the trip. The commission traveled 3,000 miles in Rnssia alone, and at each town where they remained over night their pass ports were taken up at their hotels when they arrived and returned to them upon leaving. At Moscow there was a long delay when the hour for departure came. As the pass ports of the commission were not forthcom ing, strenuous efforts were made by.Butter worth and Handy to ascertain the cause of the detention of these documents, and'it finallv transpired that some wise person had discovered that Major Handy s first name was a Hebrew one and had communi cated this information to the police. After several hours' delay the Major was enabled to demonstrate that he was a Christian. The passports were returned and the com missioner went on his way rejoicing. CHAPLIN'S CATTLE 0EDEES. They Are Giving Much Offense to Ship owners Over In England. fBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, Sept. 5, Objection is taken by some of the leading shipowners to the new order issued by Mr. Chaplin for the regula tion of the transatlantic cattle trade, in reference to the clause which requires that the stanchions of each pen shall be securely fastened to the deck hy means of iron sock ets. They allege that this requirement in the case of iron decks may have the effect of weakening the decks and also of allowing leakage from the cattle pens to damage val uable cargo stored in the lower holds. On more general grounds shippers think the order is premature and likely to prove of very limited value. They base this opinion upon the fact that the loading of cattle is all conducted in American ports; that no sufficient time has yet been allowed to test the efficiency'of the new regulations imposed by the United States Government and that no official ac tion in any case can be taken in England until after the cattle have been landed un der the supervision of the customs, W which time the fittings of Tessels may have been removed or a commencement made with getting in a fresh cargo. A X0HG CANOE VOYAGE. PoultneyBigelow Has Sailed and Paddled Over Fourteen Hundred Miles. rBr CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. 3 IOndon, Sept 0. In a private letter, dated August 24, received in London this week from Poultney Bigelo w,. of the Kew- York Canoe Club, who, with Alfred Par sons and Prank D. Millet, is making a canoe trip the entire length of the Danube from the Black Forest to the Black Sea, the traveler says that he writes from Wid din, where he is wind-bound. "This is the dirtiest hole this side of Pekin," he says; "a place overrun with Greeks, Turks, serfs, Roumanians and a wish wash of all degrada tions. My little boat has been more than two months continually on the way and has covered about 1.400 miles, every'bit of it sailedor paddled. Every night we have slept in our canoes except when touching two or three large towns." Bigelow has left Parsons and Millet, as they are continually stopping to make drawings for the illustrations of the article for the Harpers, which is the object of their trip, and is hurrying on alone, in order to get hack to Germany in time for the maneu vers. KIAHIL FORCED TO RESIGN. Opinions of tho London Press on the Oat come of the Dardanelles Aflalr. LONDON, Sept 5. The Standard' Vienna correspondent -says: "The Dardanelles agreement, which was concluded behind Kiamil Pasha's back by palace officials has compelled Kiamil to resign. It is suspected also that a secret treaty has been concluded, with the approval of France, to eome into operation two years hence, when the Black Sea shipbuilding and dock plans hare been executed." The Standard' ' correspondent at Constanti nople attributes the change in the ministry to the Sultan's suspicion of a plot to take his life, such suspicion arising from a sud den extinguishing of gas in the palace dur ing h storm recently and an explosion of fireworks, on which occasion the Sultan forthwith dismissed and arrested several officials. A PHOTOGRAPHER IN TROUBLE. An American "With His Kodak Captured by German Police. Beexht, Sept & An American, giving the name of Carleton Graves, stating his business to be that of a photographer and his address as Columbia, was arrested to-day at Mayence, charged with being a spy. Mr. Graves' baggage was seized and searched and he will be detained until satisfactory explanation as to certain actions of his classed as suspicious by the German po lice are furnished. Mavence is a iortress in the left of the Rhine, opposite ithe mouth of the main. ' . It is walled and flanked with Bastions aeicnaea uy a citadel ana several outlying forts. A bridge of boats connects it with Castel, its suburb. In default of more defi nite information and in view of the fact that Mr. Graves gave his occupation as photog rapher, it is presumed, that he may have been kodaking the fortifications ofMayence.

LEAVING HIS PATE WITH THE PEOPLE BnTGHASlPTON, K. Y., Sept 6. Spe cial. Lieutenant Governor Jones, who has been absent from Binghampton the entire week, is at home to-night. In answer to a reporter he said:. "I shall be pleased to make authoritative statements for publica tion in the face of false reports sent from this city the past week." "Is there any truth in the published re port that you were in conference with anti Hill men from different parts of the State?" "There are a great many men in New York State who are not fond of Governor Hill. I have no doubt seen some of them." "At that conference were you asked to permit the use of your name lor Governor on any independent ticket?" "I have authorized no one to say what my intentions are; neither have I confided to any one what they are?" "Is it true that a convention of represent atives from' the labor unions of the State have agreed to nominate vou for Governor and Mr. Peck, of Hqrnellsville, for Lieu tenant Governor?" "Not as far as I know." ' "Have you and Mr. Bissel, of Buffalo, had an interview relative to vour nomina tion upon an independent ticket?" "I think I would rather have you ask Mr. Bissell about that?" "Is it true that you and the officers of the labor unions of the State have had a confer ence during the week?" "I have met labor people during the week, and met them most every day." "Is it true that you have had a conference with Governor Hill during the week, by his request, at wnich you were requested to al low your name to he used for second place on the ticket?" "I do not intend to attend the Democratio Convention in any form whatever. Neither have I solicited the support of any dele gates for any position on the S.tate ticket, knowing lull well that the convention would be entirely under the control of Gov ernor HilL Therefore I considered it use less to endeavor to control the nomination in my behalf. I am perfectly willing to leave the result to the counties, whether or not faithful service to the State and loyalty to the .party is to be ignored and a notice served on all Republican officeholders that for the better service they rendered this is the reward they are likely to get" "If your candidacy in the Democratic Convention for Governor is defeated, will you accept a nomination on an Independent "I have heard a good deal said about this Independent ticket in the papers, and I have known a good many instances where men said they would and would not, and have acted exactly opposite to their expres sions. 1TKINLEY AT COSHOCTON. Five Thousand People Stand In the Bain to Listen to the Major. COSHOCTOS, Sept 5. Special A monster Republican meeting was held in this city to-day. Fully fi.OOO people were here to greet Major McKinley. The weather was threatening, but - it did not seem to dampen the. ardor of the Republicans of old Coshocton. The Major, accompanied by Captain W. T. Cope, candidate for State Treasurer, arrived early this morning. The meeting was held at the handsome residence of Sir. Honston Hoy, as the Connty Commissioners do not allow public meetings to be held in the public square. The Major spoke an hour and a half, and ably handled the silver and tariff questions. He also devoted part of his speech to some questions pro pounded to him by the Democratic Standard. He answered the questions ably and in such a way that they caused considerable amuse ment "While he was speaking, a heavy shower came up, but the crowd stood through the rain, and the Major did not stop speaking. Probably the-most interested listener in the audience was the elder brother of Major McKinley, who arrived on the morning train from the West- He is a resident of San Francisco, and left home when six years old for the "West, and has only seen nis brother a few times. He look's like the distinguished champion' of protection, hut has many more gray hairs. He sat back on the porch, and but few people in the audience knew that he was present BOAST OX AND POLITICS. Ex-Congressman Horr Talks About the Tariff to a Large Andlence. "WHEEMNG.Sept 5. Special Hon. R. G. Horr spoke at Moundsville Assembly Hall this afternoon to an audience'of 3,000 people. Notwithstanding the steady down pour of rain the crowds began arriving on excursion trains early in the day, and before the speechmaking began had turned in and devoured two roasted oxen. Mr. Horr devoted the main points in his speech to laying before his interested audi-' ence the main points of the present tariff issue between the two great parties and just how it affected the fanning and commercial interests of the country. Mr. Horr will make two more tariff and political speeches in this State, one at "Weston and one at Fairmont, after which he will go into the' campaign in Ohio, where he is hilled to make 18 speeches. Fever Epidemic In Johnstown. Johnstown, Sept B. Special One hundred and six cases ofever are reported from the Fifteenth and Sixteenth warjjs. Most of the cases are malaria, but many are pronounced to be genuine cases of typhoid. There is a large swamp known, as Mc Conaughv swamp, located between Seventh and Eighth avenues, which was excavated some years ago, the clay being used for the manufacture of brick. There is a deathly miasma arising from this low place con stantly. It has been more perceptible, however, since the warm weather began, and fever has been prevalent in that local ity since. A Baseball War Will End Fatally. Newaek, Sept 5. Special A fight arose over a ball game this afternoon at Johnstown, this county, during which Charles Bobbins drew a knife and fatally stabbed Frank Needle?, a player.

Enormous Work Xald Out' for This Session of Criminal Court The September term of the Quarter Ses sions Court will open to-morrow after a rest of several weeks. Judge .Ewlng will preside. The term will he a large one, the jail calen dar, which was completed last night by Deputy "Warden Sofel, showing more cases awaiting trial than at any preceding term of court There are 180 prisoners now awaiting trial. The cases against them number 216. There are 16 to be tried for murder, 5 for accessory to murder and 4 for manslaughter. Among the murder cases is that ofP. C. Pitzaimmons arid his wife Lucy, for the murder of Detective Gilkinson, and Charles and Emma Clark as accessories after the fact It will likely be taken up next week. Frank Gerade, 'who was con victed of murder in the first degree for killing his stopdaughter, hpt was granted a new trial hy the. Supreme Court, is await ing his second trial. James S. "Ward is also awaiting trial for the murder ot an'old woman in Westmoreland county 11 years ago. He served a term in the penitentiary ior Killing one woman, but ner.sister, wnom he assaulted at the same time, having died in this county he is to be tried for killing her. Another case which will attract gen eral attention is that of Holmes Anderson, who is accused of 'the murder of John Gunsoulis at "West Liberty Falls last April.. A strong chain of circumstantial evidence has been woven about him, but as yet there has been no direct evidence. To the murder cases on the calendar an other will probably be added. Daniel Rear don is now in jail 6n a charge of murder for shooting a Polish boy in a tunnel under the Pennsylvania Railroad, near Twenty-third street He is awaiting the finding of the Coroner's jury. The other offenses loom up with a large number of cases, and District Attorney Burleigh will have a busy time. T MYSTERY OF A WOOD. The Skeleton ot"a Supposed Murdered Man Found by Sotrie Hunters. PorrsTlXLE, Sept 5. Special" A mnr der mystery has developed near Lofty sta tion, on the Catawissa Railroad, from the finding of a man's skeleton in the woods, with,two plainly discernible bullet holes in the back of the 'skull. The .discovery was made on Tuesday by two hunters, who were beating the .woods surrounding Lofty In search of game. The body had evidently been exposed there for about a year, as the clothing was almost, entirely decayed, and nothing remained but the skeleton and tlje' dead man's shoes, a penknife and box of matches in what was once hiu trousers pocket ' Prom indications as to the qnality of clothing and shoes, it is surmised that the man was young, and not an Italian or a Hungarian." Coroner Guldin, of Ashland, is investigating the case. So many persons have been missing in this locality at vari ous times within the past two years that the occasional discovery of a skeleton in the woods has ceased to be surprising.

REMGERfflE FAILS. A Practical Test of Commissioner Raum's Salt anL the , Eesalt NAT! DEPARTMENT CANNOT USE IT" The Committee Finds a Good Many jections to the Scheme. Ob- USELESS FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES. Washington, Sept. 5. Pension Com missioner Raum has failed in his endeavors to have his refrigerator scheme adopted by the 2Tavy Department for the new cruisers. A committee was appointed to investigate the claims made for the "Refrigerine." It consisted of Captain Montgomery Sicard, Medical Inspector H. M. Wells, Chief -Engineer David Smith and Paymaster J. Q. Barton. The report states that the board met at the office of the company in this city, where the appliances wereset up for exhibition. Raum claimed that the wonderful refrigerine salt, when mixed with 1 -hmes its weight of water, would form the refrigerating brine which would do the work, and could 'be re covered by evaporation over and over again without material loss of quantity or efficacy. The report minutely describes the ap pliances, and says that after JRaum's form ula had been worked a thin layer of ice w,as formed on the surface of the molds; and that the formation soon ceased. ''Ten pounds more of the salt were asked for," says the report, "and after a long delay ob tained." This gave an opportunity to ana lyze the stuff, the result being stated in the following language: "An analysis of the 'refrigerine salt' shows that it is composed of nitrate of am monia, 97.67; water, 1.33; insoluble matter (oxide of iron,.ete.), .73; sulphate of mag nesium and sodium, .27; chloride of ammo nia, a trace; total, 100 per cent The nitrate of ammonia is the active agent, and the re maining constituents have little or no re frigerating effect" SEVERAL EXPEErMENTS "WERE MADE. All sorts of experiments with the salt were tried. The tests were conducted with great care and exactness. In the first series of tests the lowest temperature of the brine was found to be 31.2, and in the second series 34.1; the lowest mean temperature 410 and 43.75, respectively. The differ ence between mean and lowest temperature in the first instance is 9.8, and in the sec ond 9.65. "The results," continues the report, "show that the water added to the brine in the first test was lowered in temperature 20.6. In the second 20, the mean "being 20.30, or equivalent to 50.8 thermal units per pound of the salt This refrigerating effect could not be realized in practice, as the water dissolves some of the surplus salt in the brine and lowers the temperature in the first test 5.02 and in the second 3.45, or a mean of 20.86 per cent, as computed from the specific heats of the constituents. "Again, the loss due to transmission of hea't through plates or pipes was avoided by bringing the particles in intimate contact by mixing, and the time of absorption of heat from external causes was reduced to a minimum. HadnodissolutionofthesurpluB salt taken place and no loss of refrigerating effect from transmission or absorption of heat occurred, the mixture of five pounds of water at the temperature given with the original brine would have raised the tem perature of the final mixture in the first test to 67.06, and in the second to 70.97, as computed from the specific heats of the con stituents. WHAT THE BEFORT SHOWS. These results show conclusively that after cooling down the salt and water necessary to forniithe brine for the second stage of the work, and allowing for -unavoidable losses, no greater refrigerating effect can he ob tained from the brine than has already been found from the tests. When water was added to the brine the mean of two trials gave a total refrigerating effect of 50.8 thermal units. It was found that 20.86 per cent of the effect was due to the dissolution of the surplus salt in the brine, which could not be utilized without greatly increasing the cost of evaporation of the water from the brine. Deducting this from the above amount leaves 40.2 thermal units 'as the refrigerating effect of salt dis solved in the brine. But there are un avoidable losses due to the transmission and absorption of heat, the amount depending upon the difference of temperatures, thick ness of the metal, character and thickness of protecting covering, eta, that must be allowed for, and it is helieved that 25 per cent is a low estimate for these losses, when it is remembered that nearly all ice machines lose one-half or more of their efficiency in tropical climates. The report concludes as follows: First That thero Is nothing now In the uso ol refrigerating mixtures for producing cold, and that nitrate of ammonia has been used for the purpose for over 50 years, but has never heretofore bean able to success fully compete with other methods of refrig eration. Second That tho system is onmbersome and not adapted to icemaking. "Third That the space occupied by the mnterial alone precludes its uso ior refriger ating purposes on board of naval vessels. "Fourth That its cost for refrigerating purposes on board of naval vessels would be nearly .double that of the devices now in use. ' "The board, therefore, does not recom mond that it be adopted for use in the naval service." r A FUTILE CONFERENCE. Tho Selection of a Site -for Allegheny's Pub lie Building Unsettled. Washington, Sept 5. Special. Mr. T. H. Baird Patterson, of Allegheny, called on Assistant Secretary Cronse this after noon with a new proposition in regard to theStoekton avenue site for the Allegheny postoffice. He was anxious that Judge Cronse should forego the important formal ity of requiring a guaranteed bond that the property could be acquired for a certain sum, feeling assured that it could be so ac quired, but desiring to be relieved of the harden of furnishing the bond. Judge Cronse informed him that he did not think it wonld be advisable to make .such an experiment While of course the Government -could withdraw at any time, it would not be fair to property holders to impress them with the conviction that they ere to be dislodged and unsettle their business, without a positive assurance that the land would become the property of the Government Judge Cronse thinks that if Mr. Patterson is so sure of his prices he should have no hesitation In furnishing the bond, and so this latest conference on the subject amounts to nothing. A Combination Street Railroad. East Liverpool, O., Sept 5. Special The City Council of this city passed the ordinance granting the franchise for the electric street railway from the east end to the west end of this city.

MGNOPOtT OF LIGHT. The Edison and United States Com panies May Compromise. MANY MILLIONS AEE ETYOLYED. Effects of Judge "Wallace's Intimation as to the Moral Eights. SOME PROPOSITIONS ALKEADX MADE New York, Sept B. Electricians are showing very great interest in the recent decision of Judge Wallace in favos of the Edison General Electric Company. Although Judge Wallace decided in favor of the Edison Company, yet his decision was accompanied by such plain intimation that it was not . without regret that he had been obliged to give the technical opinion in favor of the Edison Company that it seemed as though the United States Com pany, which was the defendant In the suit, had won somethingof amoral victory, even if they did not win the case on the techni cal points. In is not usual for a judge while awarding a case to declare that, in his opinion, the victors were not without fanlt, but that is practically what Judge Wallace did in the Edison case. He seems to have-felt that he was obliged, to declare.that technically the Edison Company had a valid patent for the incandescent lamp which the United States Company had infringed, and yet he felt and intimated that aside from this technical in fringement, the United States Company had almost gained a right to the manufacture of these lamps, because the Edison Company had waived its own rights for so long a time. ' . TO LOSE MEANS BANKEOPTCT. After the decision was given, and only a few weeks ago, the United States Company applied to Judge Wallace for a stay of all proceedings, while an appeal was taken to the new Circuit Court of Appeals, and Jndge Wallace granted that stay. Of course, if the Edison Company wins in the higher courts, it would have a claim against the United States Company, which could not be enforced without bankrupting that corporation. Judge Wallace himself said that if the Edison Company got royalty on all the lamps the defendant sofd, it would get justice, but he did not think, evidently, that it should receive anything more than royalty. Now, in view of the fact that Judge Wal lace gave only a technical victory to the Edison Company, and intimated that there was a reasonable doubt whether the higher Coutt would affirm his own decisiou, the question which interests men who have vast capital and electric business here is, whether the Edison and United "States Companies will continue to fight.or whether the Edison Company may not be disposed to lend a willing ear to any propositions the United States Company may make for compromise. HEAVY CAPITAI. INTERESTED. It Is safe to say that 525,000,000 or ?30, 000,000 of capital is watching the ontcome of this case with intense interest The men who control this capital are not a little anxious, and they have reason to be, and these are men who are connected neither with the Edison nor the United States Com pany. Suppose, for instance, that the Edison and United States people compromise, and as a result of the compromise they join issues, so to speak, it seems as though such a result could not ail to be unfortunate for all other manufacturers of incan descent lamps throughout the United States. There are a good many of them not so favorably situated as the United States Company. There is little doubt in the minds of some of the best informed on electrical matters that the case will never reach the Court of Appeals. It is already understood that tentative propositions looking to a compromise have been exchanged, and if they are accepted the two companies might gain a permanent monopoly of the entire electric lighting business of this country.
