I'rof. ( imy says he accorded to the toriucr
credit ai an actual discoverer and tnvetilor ,
under Iho belief , liow'Ver tlmt ho was en

to have tiled his application before his

would tnko rank over his. Hosajs that the

The oiH'iilng and concluding arguments ol
the. counsel who nominally represented ( iraj
in the Interfi'ienco case , but who ho say :
really represented the combination In thai
wilt , conceded tile-discovery ot the blond arc
to Hell and claimed for I'rof. day onlv adc
vice or Improvement on that aic. Gtav sayf
he did nut know for long alter th.it such wa-
the e o. The nr"nments III the case , he savs
aru In harmony with thu main Intent of tin :
combination and weie made to carry out its
purpose. Thu combination claimed < ! ray t
caveat and all rights thereunder by virtue ol
his conveyance to tlm Harmonic Telegraph
company , ( iray says he did not Intend t <
convey It , ns he wa.-j of opinion he had beer
oveneaehcd or hud by mistake conveyei !
imiiv than ho had intended when thu tt-.uli
was made.
( Jray says after ho had been Informed that
he had been wronged in tlm patent ollici
touching his caveat , either by design In ills-
closing his secrets or by remlssness or accl
dent , and that itwas Ida discovery wit !
which I'rof. Hell transmitted speech , seer
after his ( ( ! ruy's ) . ca\eat was nlcdthulmi
the said conveyance examined by ins conn
sel. and was advised that said conveyauct
dhl not cover the caveat , but only eertah
specliic patentri then granted , and which li
was supposed by the purchasers to i elate
among other things , to telephony , am
which patent * they believed , although mil
granted expressly in reference to thac arc ,
yet embraced prine.iples tiiat might bo con
trolling in contc > l < touching It.
( iray says , in conclusion , that he was mis
led by the assumption on the part of sah
company and its ashlguees that his contraci
coveied said caveat , and that he labored nn
der this mistake until he had the contract ex
amlned , as alieady stated. Mr. Young al i
lead a letter from himself to ihe counsel ol
the Hell company , calling for the produetloi :
of the contracts alleged to have been madi
between thu Hell company and Kllsha ( Jray
the ( iold and Stock and western Union com
iianles , Hlake , Heiliner and others. In hi :
letter Mr. Young explained that he wished tt
establish by llie > ; contracts that the utlegci
telephone Inventions of Hell were in
valid ; that the JJowd unit win
Inconclusive , ami was only brougli
to obtain judicial decrees sustaining
patents , nnd that Hell and his assock
cntcicd into an unlavvtul combination to con
trolail telephone discoveries , in answer li
Commissioner Montgomery , Mr. Young ain
he expected counsel lor the licit company tn
produce the papers to-morrow. If they failed
to do so ho would endeavor to inir > ) duct
testimony show Ing the natuie of the paper :

Mr. ytarrow then opened Iho ease for tin
Hell company. He said tlmt this proceeding
was an effort to reopen the suit discontinued
ill Memphis. Tlie ailidaviKs read here wen

tlm voluminous evidence that hai

An address on the "Tariff In Its relations
to the fanners1 wa.s tilun rend by .1. G.
Smith , of Ohio , which ended the morning
session. A prominent feature In the morn
ing proceedings was the unanimous election
of ex-Governor .1. Sterling Morton , ot Ne
braska. as the chairman of thu convention.
A committee of live on nominations to pre
sent names for consideration as the future
olllcers of the league , and a committee on
re.-iolutions. eonsisting'.of one member from
each state delegation- were appointed in the
afternoon. ,
On motion thu committee on resolutions
was requested to remain and listen to an
open discussion of the principles of free
trade befoie retiring to draft the resolution .
A lively Interchange of opinion followed , in
which the irreater part of the convention
members participated. There vvas a decided
difference of opinion in regard to the proper
method of Instructing' thu committee on
icsolut.ions and before aiiythlng was arrived
at tlie business session of the convention ad
journed till to-morrow.
A largo audience. , fci1ntinin ; ! ? a fairsprink-

eied by Homy WGttersoiii J. Sterling Morton ,
Frank llurd , and others. . A telegram was
read from Henry AVnUersnn expressing 'IIs-
uiipointmcnt , that at th last moment ho lound
himself nimble to be pvcacnt.
Ex-governor Morton , In the course of a
short address , .tjia-tcd that Chicago , by a
special act of congress after the great lire ,
was exem iled from duties on everything buc
lumber. The peopleof the city only wanted
the right to buy where they could buv cheap
'
est. If this was a irooil thing for Chic uo ,
why not. for Nebraska and tlio whole western
country. Continuing , he said thu ne
groes in the south were once
deprived of all their earnings. The farmer
who Is now cointielleil to pay a tiof ill per
cent only lacks 7. per cent ot being a slave.
Henjamin Kcese , ot' Toledo , said he had under
him -.OX ) m ners-in the llocking'valley starv
ing for want of corn , and Iowa was burning
corn for fuel. Had there been a proper
method of exchange between tlie United
States and foreign countries Iowa would have
sold her corn and with the money
bought O'\i \ < i coal , and the Ohio
miners would hw ; had money
and wages to buy corn. Mr. Darken of South
Carolina , and General William Turnbull of
Chicago , followed.
The' concluding i speech of the evening was
nnuln by lion. Frank Hiird ot'Tnlulo , who in
eloquent wonis declaied : "Whoever owns
my labor owns me. Whoever controls the
wages of my toll js my muster. Kyery dollar
of Increase nrlccr on aceoinl of miscalled
protection means uday of hiav < ry tor me. "
' 'Over liiH,00. ) ) niun , " continued the speaUer ,
"are. said by Grand Master I'ovvderly , of the
Knights ol Labor , ablu to work and willing
to work , out of employment in the United
States. AVhyV Hcciiuse our mills are idle on
account of no demand , the result of so-called
overproduction. That word is only another
term for 'no market , ' caused by th" absence
of freedom for trade hnd bv the Ignorant self
ishness piactii'od by the manufacturers. ' '
At this point tie | anarchist. Gorsuch ,
of this city , who had taken
a seat among the delegates , arose
and declaring hlni'-elf a free-trader , demanded
permission to ask Mr. llurd a question. The
audience , Ignorant of the interrogatory ,
Mrondcd him In his effort. "Why. " ho
shouted in Ktentorlan tones , "Do not rxw.iKW
men assert their riirhts , and assume the con
trol of these iniJnsfrlns for tlienifidvrs against
the protected manufacturers ? That is the
iiie-llon | ol a socialist. " Thu lest of Ids re
marks wvt drowned In hisses and the
audience quickly left tlie hall.

IJAt.TiMOUK. Nov. 11. Uov. Dr. D. .1 ,
O'Connell who was commissioned by the
Into Catholic plenary rouncll to bear the de
crees formulated by that body to the pope ,
teturned to this city this morning after hav
ing completed his mission. Dr. O'Connell
on his arrival Immediately repaired to the
archi-eplscopal residence nnd dellveicd thu
decrees to the apostolic delegate nnd prcsl-
di nt of the council. Archbishop Glbbonn.
In reply to questions asked concerning the
nature of the decrees , Dr. O'Connell said he
had no information concerning them to give.
When asked whether the statements pub
lished In sumo pai ers as to their nature were
well founded , hu inquired what they were
and seemed surprise. ! nt the absurdity ot
much which has loiind lt.s way into print
in connection with thu work , of the late
council. He then s'tnled In ngenemlway
that there was nothing In the decree
ol a radical or of a political nature. Iho
Catholic church was mil the follower or sup
porter of any political party or system. Inn
dectees dealt with family matters Insldo ol
the Catholic church. Their ntliumto pin pose
was nicrelv to turther a broa.ler and mini
plentiful illir..Mon ot the beiients of Christi
anity. Concluding his remarks on this sub
ject. Dr. O'ConnelTsuld : "Thew Is nothin-j
con hi i tied within thu decrees which is not
wholly within the scope of the purpose 1 have
mentioned. ' ' Anything mure explicit or cir
cumstantial than thi.s the revetend gentle
man said it would bo Improper lor him tc
give at present.
It will IKS remembered that anticipations
were entertained In MIIIIC quarters that Dr.
O'Connell , on hisrcturn from Koine , would
b < ! able to throw sotim light upon
the vexed question as to whether 01
not. there would be another American
cardinal , and whether Archbishop Gibbons
would rocclvo that dlirnlty in c.iso anolhei
let hat was scut to the United States. When
questioned concerning thu eardlnalate , he
said he knew nothing about il , and hail
h.-ard nothing during his slay in Homo to in
dieatu whether another American pielatc
would receive the honor or not. Dr. O'Con-
nell said that when lu- loft , Home Pope Lei
was In excellent health. The d tetor seems
to have enjoyed Ills visit to I'm eternal cltv
scry much , and is well pleased with theresufi
of his mission. Alter completing his win I ; in
