WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE BEE.
, 1407 P Street , N. W.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 23.
It Is presumed , without definite authority
for the assumption , that the great Hate
vs Sulzbcrger patent case I * now In the
hands of Associate Justice Drown , because
the case comes to the supreme court from the I
New York circuit , and Justice Drown Is
regularly assigned to the Second Judicial
circuit , of which New York Is a part , This
pending case , which Is of such vital Impor
tance to the Bell Telephone company , and tu
other telephone companies which desire to
enter the field of competition , has been fully
argued before the supreme court. It Is Im
possible to anticipate with any degree of
accuracy the date of the utterance of the
judicial decision. Such caees arc some
times decided by the court within two weeks ,
and occasionally a year Is permitted to elapse
before an ultimatum Is propounded.
The Bate-Sulzberger case Is of Itself of
small Importance , but Its decision Involves
the supreme court construction cf section
4,687 of the revised rtatutes of the United
States , a section which has never been
finally construed ; and upon the forthcoming
construction of the statute will depend the
excluulvcness of the American Bell telephone
patents for the Immediate future.In brief ,
the pending question Is whether or not an
American patent expires upon the date of
any previously granted foreign patent. Sev
eral foreign patents wcro long since granted
for the "microphone transmitter" In tele
phones , and those foreign patents have ex
pired. If the supreme court shall decide
that such patents also expire In the United
States at the same tlmo of their expiration
In foreign countries , then the "microphone
transmitter" will bo free for all In this coun
try and It has become an essential In all
forms of commercial telephone's.
Although knowing that foreign patents on
this Invention were expiring , the American
Hell Telephone company purchased patents
of the same principle which were granted
to Thomas A. Edlton on May S , 1892. Now
If the supreme court shall decide that these
patents nro still binding In this country , al
though they have expired In foreign countries ,
the Bell company will have a further monopoly
of the telephone business of thta country
for fifteen yearn more , us the Edison pat
ents cover every commercial form of tele
phone.
phone.NEW
NEW TELEPHONE TRANSMITTER.
As a matter of fact , however , known tea
a select few , the patent office has recently
granted a patent for an Improvement on
the Edison "microphone transmitter" which
cannot be bought by the Bell company , nor
by any other company , because the. Inventor
Is not a poor man , nor one who can be ca
joled or hoodwinked. The patentee ( n this
case denies permission of the , use of his
name , but It Is known to The- Bee corre
spondent that the patent has been allowed
and will soon be made public. Consequently ,
whether the supreme court shall promulgate
a decision either for or ngalnst the Edison
patents , the remarkable Improvement referred
to will Buperccde all existing forms of "mi
crophone transmitters , " and revolutionize the
science of telephony. The new transmitter
Is agitated by every use of the telephone , can
never become packed , and Is In such form
as to do away with the crank for ringing
"central , " or for the process of "ringing
off. " It Is a patent which Includes several
other patents which led up to It , Including
the long distance designs and an automatic
receiver adjuster , which renders It so easy
of action as to leave both hands of the
operator free for writing notes or taking
down long messages In manuscript.
The diplomatic complications which Isd.up
to the war between China and Japan , and the
results to follow the final cessation of hos
tilities , have not been considered by the people
ple of this country , nor of the other civilized
nations , save In the. higher diplomatic cir
cles. Tlioro are causes and effects In modern
wars , and they are foreseen and planned
by men skilled In statecraft an well us In
military affairs. Indeed , diplomacy always
precedes war , and takes precedence- armies
and navies.
ONLY RUSSIA'S ADVANCE GUARD.
"Tho Japanese army Is the advance guard
of Russia , " said a prominent official of the
Department of State today. "I cannot talk
for publication , " he continued , "but I can tell
you personally that the Japanese army of
occupation has put Russia a full hundred
years In advance of her expectations In the
Orient. The late Czar Alexander expected
by slow approaches to have his successors
strike nt India about 100 years hence. Ho
It was who planned the combat between
Japan and China , but Iio had no Idea of doing
more than develop the real military weak
ness of the big conglomerate Chinese em
pire. Not oven Alexander , who IB secretly
known to have In a great measure planned
to bring on the eastern war , anticipated Jap
anese victory as a result of the war. HB
believed that Japan would show herself to
be equal to the top-heavy empire of China ,
but ho had no Idea of such great results.
Japan has handled China just as Bismarck
and Moltko handled France. Today China
stands humiliated before the world , and Rus
sia can go ahead with her oriental con
quests , knowing full well that Great Britain
must oppose her single handed. In the
event of Chinese opposition , a
simple menace from Japan would sllencs
the dragon , The downfall of Port Arthur
Is a victory for Russia , and an awful blow
to Great Britain. It Is suspected In diplo
matic quarters , but not positively known ,
that Russia 1ms furnished considerable money
to Japan In this war. That Is a matter ,
however , which can never be made suscep
tible of proof. It Is generally conceded
though that the humiliation of China Is a
deadly blow to Great Britain , ami the ex
ultation of Japan Is the exultation of Rus
sia. "

rnosvncTs OF TIIK CANAI *
Coming Sonlon Too Short f r Action on lli
Mcnrucuuii 1'rojert.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 29. The action cf
Great Britain with reference to the Mos
quito territory has aroused some Inquiry rel
ative to the utatus of the Nicaragua canal
In congress and as to the prospects for Its ,
favorabls consideration during the approachIng - *
Ing session , Bills were Introduced during the
last fesulon both In the senate and house ,
una were quite similar In essential features ,
both providing for an Issue of $70,000,000
worth of bonds , the payment of which IB
to be assured by the government. Both bills
have been reported from committee , each to
Jl > respecttva hcu o. anil each by Its auhtor ,
but neither has had any consideration at
the 'hands of the senate or house. None of
the i-speclal champion * of the bills are at
preient In the city , but It Is understood then ;
I * will bs an effort to tecure consideration dur
ing this session , The'friends of the measure
appreciate that there will bo many obstacles
r to overcome In both houiei , but they think
that some of the opp-slllona which developed
a few years since will not appear when the
bllli shall again be brugbt to the attention
oi congress. General Catching * was today
atVod what he thought of the proip ct cf ilia
bllli. He said"Tho liouio has not yet tiad
an opportunity to materially consider this
canal question , and has not made up Its
mind on It. It Is t'o big a problem for a
session at short as that which Is approachIng -
Ing , consequently I do not believe wo shall
solve tho- canal problem this winter , "
Senator Morgan In his report quotes figures
giving $57,799,570 as the outside coit tf the
canal , and he says the promoters of lha en-
terprlie have expended f3,099,971 of their
own money up n It.

Twenty-nine million acres of land , In round

companies , awaiting examination and settle
ment at the close of the fiscal year.
The report of the commissioner shows that
forty agents have been employed during the
year In the Investigation of fraudulant land
entries , and In otherwise protecting the pub
lic lands from Illegal appropriation and tim
ber trespess. Over 800 cases were referred
'to them for Investigation , and final action
was taken In 1,662 cases. There are now-
pending In the general land office over 2,000
cases.
Timber depredations have been reported
during the year Involving a value of over
$1,000.000. On this account $23,621.12 have
been recovered during the yeareightyfive
civil suits are pending In the courts for the
recovery of nearly $1,500,000 , the value of
timber alleged to have been unlawfully cut ,
and 283 criminal prosecutions are also pend
ing.
ing.PROTECTING
PROTECTING FOREST RESERVES.
On account of the smalt appropriations
for special agents It has thus far been im
possible to detail any of- them for the pro
tection of the forest reserves which have
from tlmo to time been created. Practically ,
this great extent of reserved lands Is no
more protected by the government than are
the unreserved lands of the United States ,
the sole difference being that they are not
subject to entry or other disposal under the
public land laws.
In view of the largo number of depreda
tions upon these reserves , It seems Impera
tive that congress should appropriate sufll-
clent money to place at least one superin
tendent upon each reservation , and upon
the larger reserves to provide him with a
sufficient number of assistants to prevent
the public property from being -wantonly
destroyed.
In my last annual report the need of legis
lation which might lay the foundation for
a wise , comprehensive forestry system to be
applied to the timber upon the public lands
nnd forest reservations was urged upon con
gress. A bill was perfected nnd reported
upon this line from the committee on the
public lands by Its chairman , Mr. McRae.
This bill has received the commendation of
the land office and of many forestry associa
tions throughout the United States. The
passage of some such measure wou'd bo a
substantial stride In the direction of prepar
ing for a forestry system which would preserve -
serve to the people of this country a great
product now plentiful , but , from the want of
Intelligent care , being rapidly wasted and
deplenished.
The report of the commissioner of patents
upon the business of the patent office for
the fiscal year ended Juno 30 , 1891 , shows
that there were received 35,952 applications
for patents ; 1,050 applications for trade
mart < s , and 368 applications for labels. There
were 22,546 patents granted , Including reIssues -
Issues nnd designs ; and 1,656 trade marks
registered. The number of patents which
expired was 13.167. The total expenditures
wcro $1,053,962.38 ; the receipts over expendi
tures were $129,560.80 , and the total receipts
over expenditures to the credit of the patent
office In the treasury of the United States
amounted to $4,109,366,74.
NEW BUILDING NEEDED.
The attention of congress Is earnestly In
vited to the urgent necessity of providing
an additional building for this department.
The Increase In the business assigned to It
and the larger number of employes required
has made It necessary to rent buildings
from private parties for the office of Indian
affairs , bureau of education , the geological
survey , the census office , the United States
pension agency , the civil service commission ,
the patent office model exhibit , and for the
storage of documents.
Though selected with care nnd at as
reasonable rates as possible , these buildings ,
scattered here and there throughout the city ,
are unfit to be the depositories of the valu
able archives and papers which Ihey contain.
Few , if any of them , arc practically fireproof ,
and It Is probable that great loss of life
would occur In case of fire , aside from the
financial and historical loss to the govern
ment by the destruction of valuable and Irre
placeable records.

U'ASIIINOTON , Nov. 29. Xone of the offl-
clnls In Washington who have been Interested
In bringing about peace between China and
Japan are at all surprized at the refusal of
Japan to entertain any proposition coming
from Mr , Uletcring. This official Is commis
sioner cf maritime customs at Tien Tsln , and
his Immediate superior Is an KnglUh baron ,
Sir Robert Hart. The latter Is an extensive
landed proprietor In Ireland. He was In the
I3rtlsh ! consular service at Peking , and was
then given charge of China's customs serv-
Ic ? . Ho organized this on civil service lines ,
employing foreigners , mainly Englishmen , to
do It. At the time Queen Victoria cslsbrated
the "Jubilee Anniversary" of the fiftieth year
of her reign Hart was mads a baronet , In
recognition of his conspicuous service for
China. The rank was of such a character
that It dees not expire , as Is usually the
case. Ho Is still at the head cf the
Chinese customs sevlc ? . That an attempt
should have been made to cause these two
foreigners to bo the medium of China's nega-
tlat.ons Is regarded as unusual , In view of
Japan's suggestion that China must make
her offer directly through the American min
isters.
While the Japanese legation Ins received
no official confirmation of the dispatches Indi
ra tin R that the m'sslon of Mr. Dletcrlng on
behalf of China to Japan has been a failure ,
the disposition there Is to regard the In
formation as authentic. The time , they say ,
has passed when the differences existing be
tween the two nations can bo settled by the
customs authorities , as If It were a matter
of mere routine business , anJl they declare
that If China really desires to bring about
peace through negotiations It must be done
through a regularly accorded envoy from the
emperor of China to the emperor of Japan.
In tlis meantime , and until China comes to
realize the conditions under which peace ne
gotiations can bo conducted , the war must
go on.
The Japanese authorities here do not re
gard with favor the reports of the Interfer
ence of the European powers. Regarding the
St. Petersburg Associated press dispatch ,
quoting the Novoe Vremya. they say that
while they recognize that the Novoo Vremya
may speak from authority , on account of Its
relations with the Russian crown , Its as
sumption that Japan has refused peace pro
posals Is without foundation.
They also assert that no figures have been
fixed as to the amount of Indemnity which
Japan Is willing to accept. These are matters
of detail which the Japanese officials In this
city soy can only be arranged when China
comes to realize that there Is but one way
to treat with Japan , and that Is by direct
negotiations. They take the position that so
far Japan has done nothing which could jus
tify the Interference of the foreign powers ,
anil Intimate that It would be tlmo enough
for their Intervention when Japan should
really make smo demand that would bo un
reasonable.
This characterization applies only to the
European powers. There Is nb disposition to
scout the proposition of the United States
to mediate. On the contrary , It Is suggested
at the legation that It would DJ entirely sat
isfactory ID have the preliminaries of any
peace negotiations conducted by the American
ministers to Japan and China , because they
nro Informed as to the situation , and It la
belleveil they would bo unbiased and im
partial , With the negotiations once under
way , they insist , however , that details must
bo left to be arranged by direct conference
between tha personal representatives of the
Chinese Tiller and the Japanese foreign min
ister.
