The New York Tribune of May ?!, WT. says: Shipbuilding has given a great boom tu Newport News. The shipbuilding plant, when completed, will be the finest and best-equipped In the United States. Three battleship are now under construction at Newport News, and three gunboats. The drydock is taxed to Its fullest ca pacity to complete the work which Is accumulating every month, and there Is employment for over three thousand men and boys. There Is a regular line of ; steamers running between Newport News. Liverpool ami London, to carry ut the grain and live stock from t-- West and the coal from the Virginias brought by the Chesapeake and Ohio: to Its deep-water terminal. In IKS New-1 port News was nothing more than a j Janus River plantation. Today It Is a 1 prosperous town of fifteen thousand rvo-1 pie, with millions of dollars Invested and la steadily growing. Mr. Huntintron' ! shrewd foresight in building this city by the sea Is amply vindicated. The people! of Newport News are keenly alive to! the great possibilities of the futur- nn.l are exerting themselves to attract new ' by valu"- but ,he9 are much low.-r ta;. Industries. They feel that theirs Is t!m a"y Previous years of prosperity and coming city of the South. Tt,.. i. - .,...... , . . . There Is a curious parallel to be noted in th histnrv nf fhla .M MAM,tal I... ' " v " ""- Ing on the James River and Astoria on j population would call for a material x the Columbia. From the earliest settle- j Panslon. the comparison Is not dlscour roent of Virginia the Prediction wasialn,r- Th recovr5' ,low- hesitating made that Newport News would one day become a large city. Every succeeding generation of Virginians believed that the dawn of Newport News's prosperity would take place In the next, but ln spite of its great natural advantasn. year after year passed and Newport j Pies, which Is now over, are disappoint News still languished. Baltimore was Tne volume of seasonable mer- founded at the head of Chesapeake to,, ' "''IZ 'j'8,r,bUted " ,han and In time became a great city. Nor folk on the Elizabeth River also grew Into a seaport of considerable Import- ance. For more than two centuries the ships entering between capes Charles i and Henry have sailed into the bay and parted in two streams In Hampton Kouds right opposite Newport News, one going up the bay to Baltimore and the other up the Elizabeth to Norfolk. How l:ke the experience of Astoria all this is: Here we have the same remarkable o eatlon and natural advantages that at tracted the attention of King George's subjects in old Virginia. Here have pre dictions of coming greatness been rife for upwards of a century, but the ships j of the world hve U-en .-nin tt, J mouth of the Columbia ln sight of a. toria, and there dividing into two i streams, one going to Puget Sound an.l the other to the Willamette. Humlnj-'ton became Interested In Newport News, hh.! the Item we quote from so disinterested an authority as the New York Tribune tells what he has accomplished. T!e same master hand is now working on its prototype at the mouth of the Cjl im bia, and it Is not reaaonuble to ascribe his simultaneous movements on two op posite sides of the continent to mi. chance accidental coincidence. W;ti; one foot planted on the key spot of the Atlantic coast and tl other at its exact pole on the far-away shores of the Pa cific, who can estimate the ei.'ect which this modern CoIohsus may scon he in a position to exert on the commerce of trie world. The decision of the supreme court ot tlie United States in the famous tele phone suit does not appear to huve touched the question of the validity of the BellLner patent ot IUJI, which Is owned by the Bell Company. The only point which the court decided was that relating to an alleged fraud In obtaining that patent Tho suit was brought by the government against the Bell Com pany, and the allegation was that, by eollusion, delays and improper interfer ence the Bell Company succeeded In suspending action upon the Berliner ap plication for fourteen yeara. That ap plication was filed ln 1S77, but the patent was not Issued until Mil. The govern ment's ounlentioo. was that Uiis delay was connived at by the Bell peoole. In order to extend the life of their control of the vital principle of the present tele phone. The Bell Company obtained a patent in ISM which Is alleged to covet esesntlnlly ths same ground as that ol the tterllncr application. Hence th longer the Issue of a patent on the lattr roul.l be delayed, the longer the IWII Company would have control of the bulk of the telephone business. The decision of the supreme ooftrt says there Is no iiear an.1 satlofactory evidence of the fraud alleged by the government. The court declares that a patent osir not K canceled on the ground of fraud unless the evidence is convincing and that it was not so In this case: that an appli cant Is not responsible for delay In the patent office unless the proof Is clear that this delay a as brought alvut by nt- own Improper Influence. In this ce fie evidence was not conclusive enough to wtirrant the canceling of the patent ""-jTno ql,osilon a to the xalldlty of tl c Ilerllncr patent of 11 was not pa.sd upon by the court, for tvhmcal reasons The government raised this point ln thi form: That the lie r liner patent of 1x1 covers essentially the same ground as that of a patent Issued to the lie II Cm- pany In ls, and therefore Is Invalid This point w-as not passed upon. If any of the Independent telephone companies desire to test It. the matter must be taken Into the courts for trial upon that Issue, and tivud the tedious round rp to another decision by the supreme court DEPENDS OX ENGLAND. Report of French Bimetallic League on the Situation. Parts, May 2s There were V delegates present at the annual meeting of the national bimetallic league. Deputy Fou goirol- presided. M.
