It Is said Commodore P. Vedder was not nominated for state senator by the Republican convention held October 14th.

Frank has made af fidavit to this, and others who sat near him sustain him in his position. It is reported Sessions will endeavor to have a new convention. Democratic Nominations. New York, Oct. 22.

Conflict Between a Band of Vigilantes and Trainor's Gang. Littxk Rock. Oct. 22 The con flict in the Indian Territory between the vigilantes and Irainor'sgaog of outlaws has, it is reported, resulted in the killing of six teen persons.

Ibe outlaws were victorious. The force whioh was following them de cided to risk an encounter and made haste to reach tbe river banks where they could find shelter behind the trees and in ravines, which line the banks on each side. In this they succeeded, so that when the vigilantes came up they were entirely, for tbe time, at the mercy of two score of men who knew not what mercy was. Henier- son, the leader of the vigilantes, then took his men a short distance up the river, where a fording place could be found. Then he crossed and took up positions on the other side of the stream from tbe outlaws and where his men were as well protected as Trainor's men.

Tbe river at this point is only about 100 yards wide, and across this distance, from Thursday morning until Thursday night, bullets were singing on their mission of death. When the vigilante bad succeeded in obtain. ng this pos.tiou, they found they had lost three men and two mure seriously wounded. As Trainur found the enemy in his rear on tbe opposite side of the river, be sent ha of bis men down the stream to cros and com on the other side. But in tL coup d'etat they weie tsurprnel by avengers, who met them half way, and opened tire upon them, checking their course and driving them back panic-stricken.

In endeavoring to rally his men. Bill Cluet was killed and be ore tbe river could be reached and forded John Leech, one of tbe robber gang, was shot off his horse but not ki.led. The fight from this on wus continued under cover of tbe trees, until they covered the stream, the banks of which were lined at distances of about five rods apart with sharpshooters. No sooner was a bead, arm or any part of the body visible on either side than a bullet was seeking to find a lodgement therein. As Thursday night was coming on, Hen-der on called men in for consultation, when it was found that out of bis force, eight were killed outright and eight others had received serious though not fatal wounds.

Tbe force was in thU way reduced one-half, and it was thought- best to remove tbe wounded here and then go back borne and stir up reinforcements. Tbe dead were buried and the wounded, it was found after dressing tbeir wounds, were unable to return home with the rest of the party. It is thought that as many of the outlaws were killed as of tbe pursuing party, though this will never be knowo Ueuderson sas he will collect a hundred men and follow the robbers to hell'' if it necessary to wipe them out. IS THE REPORT A HOAX I Forth Smith, Ark. Oct.

22. The reported conflict wi.b outlaws In tbe Indian Territory lacks confirmation. The United States marshal here has full facilities for getting news from the territory, but has no report of tbe affair referred to Deputy marshals just in from tbe scene of the reported conflict say there is no truth in tbe report.

Sullivan. NOT THE RAHWAY VICTIM. Tho Latest Theory of the Detectives Proves to be a False One. Philadelphia, Oct. 22.

Tbe Rahway murder was lurtber mystified to-day by the arraignment in the Central police station here of both Frank Credeford, the supposed murderer, and Annie lngraham, who was ttioughi, by the New Jersey authorities to have been tbe woman whose dead body was found at Rahway.

After detaining the man and woman until noon Chief Wood allowed them to go.

About 8 o'clock as he was seated in the barber's chair he was seized with a pain in tbe region of his heart so severe that be was rendered, for a time, speechless. Mr. Washburne was assisted to bed and tbe family and physician were hastily summoned. His physician prescribed for the attack, and in a short time he experienced great relief. He rested quite easily for the remainder of tbe day, the family of his son Hempstead remaining at his bedside.

Sbottly before 4 o'clock he arose without assistance to take a drink of water, but was almost immediately seized with a recurrence of the pain in the heart, this time more severe than before. He was quickly assisted to the bed and restoratives were administered. He lay for a few moments apparently resting, after which he turned his head to one side and soon expired without giving any indication of further pain. After tbe second seizure Mr. Washburne never spoke.

His sudden death was a severe and almost unexpected blow to bis family, as his doctors had been led by the general improvement hia condition for tbe past two weeks to believe that he had fully recovered from the late attack and would be spared several years.

ORATION BY LEONARD SWETT Tribute to the Emancipator of Slaves, the Man of the People and the Leader of His Countrymen in the Republic's Great Peril. Chicago, Oct. 22.

The great statue of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled this afternoon at Lincoln Park in the presence of a large crowd that braved the chilly wind from the lake and assembled to witness the ceremony. Shortly before 8 o'clock the i oom-ing cannon startled tbe multitude, and as the sound died away little Abe Line ln, the son of Robert T. Lincoln, stepped to the base of the flag-covered bronze figure of his grandfather and polled a rope which held the covering. The folds slowly unloosened and dropped down at the base, and the tall, erect figure of Abraham Linooln shone brightly in the sun, which struggled through the clouds at that moment. A tremendous shout went up from the 5, 000 people assembled, and it was joined a moment later by the roar of the cannon.

Charles D. Withrow, one of tbe trustees of tbe Bates fund, out of which tbe cost of the statue was defrayed, formally presented the figure to the Lincoln Park board, and W. C. Goudy replied in behalf of the board. The oration was delivered by Hon.

Leonard Swett, whose intimate political, social and domestic relations with the great president have made him one of the best informed men now living on Lincoln's life. In tbe course of his address Mr. Swett said Why is Mr. Lincoln selected from tbe fifty million of people who lived with him for this honor? The answer is, because he was in life the most simple and direct in char acter, at one time the humblest citizen in the land, at another the most exalted. His patriotism was the purest, and he was the most far-seeing and wise and having many years ago first predicted that this country could not exist half slave and half free, but that the antagonism would go on until we should become either all slaves or all free.

he himself rook the patient leadership of tbat contest, and by his proclamation freed three million slaves, lilted our whole country to a higher plane of civilization, and finally, and at the hand of malice, fell a martyr because of this char acter and this act. He was emphatically the child of the republic, and the product of our institutions. He was of the people and for the people. His character was that of great directness and extreme simplicity. Cloth ing, to him.

was made for covering and warmth to the body, and not for ornament He never in his life once got the better of his fellowmen in a trade, and never loaned money on interest. I never knew him but once to borrow money or give his note. He never tasted liquor, never chewed tobacco or smoked, but labored diligently in his pro fession, charging small fees, and was cou tented with small accumulations. lie was nowever very generous in ex penditures for his family. In this manner be accumulated less than $10,000 before bis election to the presidency, and when he left Springfield he had to borrow, ai then.

so far as 1 know, gave his note for the first time for enough to bear his expenses and tide him over until be could draw irom the government for the first quarter of his salarv. He, in his life, had lived in all circles, moved in every grade of society and enjoyed it all equaly well. To bis companions in every station he was equally entertaining and equally happy. Ho would not, in politics, willingly have anyone do anything for him. and did not believe in the favorable results of personal efforts in any campaign.

He did not believe lu the vox populi, and to him it was indeed vox del, but be wanted it to be tbe genuine vox populi. He did not believe in any interference with, or of efforts to con trol it. Mr. Swett spoke briefly of the events which led up to the election of Mr. Lincoln as president, and continuing said believe be desired the second nomination.

because tbat involved an approval by tbe common people, whom he always loved and confided in, of the course which he had taken often in a great doubt during the first administration. vet he would do nothing. and would allow no friend to do anything to get it. He looked with indifference over machinations against him in bis cabinet, and with indifference over the senate and mem bers of congress, to tbe action of the com mon peo.ple, as expressed in their prelimi nary conventions and resolutions of state legislatures, as most near the people, as tnougn an electrical chord of sympathy ex tended from him to them. They did not disappoint him.

and finally when the second convention convened in Baltimore in May the only contest mere was as to who should have the honor of putting Mr. Lincoln in nomi nation. "The sublime and crowning characters tio of Mr. Lincoln, however, was his seif reliance. During the eleven years I was wilu ui iu at i no oar 01 mis state 1 never knew him to ask the advice of a friend about anything.

During the four years of his administration I never knew or never heard of his doing this. I never knew him in tne preparation of a trial, or the ner- plexity of it in court, to turn to bis asso ciate and ask his advice, and yet he was the best listener I have ever known. He would hear anyone on any subject, and generally wouia say nothing in reply. He kept his own counsels, or bis bottom thoughts. welL He weighed thoroughly his own positions and the positions of his adversaries.

He put uimseu in nis adversary's position, or on the opposite side of a question, and argued the question from tbat standpoint. He was the most inquisitive man I have ever known. Traveling the circuit, he would perhaps sit with the. driver, and before we got to our journey's end be would know all the driver knew. If we stopped at a crossroad blacksmith shop he would sit bv the blacksmith over his forge and learn how to rook- naiis.

He is the only man I have ever known who bridged back from middle age io youm ana learned to spell well. Mr, Lincoln manuscripts are as free from mistakes as any colllege graduate's. I have seen him upon the circuit with a geometry or astroncmy anu otuer elementary books, learning in middle age what man ordinarily learns in youth. And herein may I be permitted to mention another very remarkable and use lul trait of his character. It was that men tal equipoise which is disturbed at nothing, ana diverted from the pathway it has marxea out Dy nothing.

Although prose cuting the war simply from a sense of dutv. and nob from a belief in its success, yet he icept right on, and was neither depressed by disasters nor elated by success. He seemed to comprehend the magnitude of the contest In which he was engaged more thoroughly than any other man. In short, he was the strong man of tbe contest, and the great men as Washington learned to gain re Difference Pointed Out Between a Process and an Apparatus.

Washington. Oct. 22. The commissioner of patents has rendered an important decision, settling in the negative the long disputed qu- stiou, Can an applicant embrace in one and the same application for letters patent more than one distinct and separate The case iu point was that of Austin Herr, who applied lor a single patent covering both the machine and pro cess for separating garlic from wheat. In his decision the commissioner says The use of the machine for the purpose for which it was constructed is the enjoyed under letters patent, but the machine itself is the thing patented.

A method, or process, such as the law recognizes as patentable, must have an existence indepen dent of tha machine or apparatus by which it is carried out. If tbe result is simply tbe act oi the mechanism ilsef, so relaied to it that it cannot exist independently of it. and if the sole uterance of the machine, a process or method does not exist; it is simply tbe function oi tbe machine. A process to be patentable must be wholly independent of tbe apparatus the process is that which brings into existence tbe product or result. It must be regarded as settled by the highest autuority that an apparatus and a process are separate and distinct inventions.

Relative to invention, coveriug combina tions, he says: "Whenever the original invention is such that, with its mutually cooperating parts, it retains a distinctive character and identity, and the improved parts have not become distinct su jects of inventions, art or manufacture, such original and co operating parts may be embodied in one patent. If tbe progress of art has not subdivided such parts or elements into dis tinct and well recognized subjects of invention and manufacture, and thev have oot been identified in the arts and industries as representing distinct subjects, tbe improvements can ail be included in one patent. Tbe fact tbat tbe courts Lave held valid patents covering a multiplicity of invention forms no reason why the patent office should continue to issue patents comprehending distinct and separate inventions. While there is no statutory declaration, congress has recogaized distinctly and clearly the natural classification of the arts as existing in four divisions, and that a single and distinct invention clearly belong ing iu one class ouht not to be joined in the same patent with an invention belonging in another. Tbe statute vests tbe commissioner with large discretion in establishing a pi'oper classification of inventions, which discretion has been recognized and settled in numerous decisions of tbe Courts.

While a patent may not be -null and id for the reason that it embraces two inventions, this fact furnishes no excuse why the principles which underlie tbe patent system should be disregarded, or the discretion of the commissioner should not be exercised in accordance with those principles. "The law required that each invention shall be carefu ly examined to determine its uovi lty and usefulness This examination must go back as far as knowledge of the art extends. It would be impossible to conduct with certainty and promptness tbe vat business committed to tbe office in a sys teiuatic manner, examine tbe lcventions of 60, 000, 000 of people, survey tbe wide and extended field of art, and determine their novelty and usefulness, speedily and satisfac torily. without definite and settled rules governing the natural and proper classifica tion of patentable subjects.

Bkblix, Oct. 22. The official press, in repeating Hs denial of the report thitt the czar was to have a meeting with. Emperor William, uses lauguage of plain and almost ostentatious enmity towards Russia. The interview is declared to be not a mere matter of indifference, but as objected to by high personages in Germany.

The personal relations between the czar and Emperor William, once so important a factor in European politics, can no longer continue on their old footing, as the position of Germany towards her allies, Austria and Italy, forbids it. Tbe anti-German proclivities of tbe present czar are contrasted with the lifeln? friendship of his father for Emperor William and his people, and the conclusion is ditbwo that the interview would be unpleasant to both sides, Yesterday's Nuvoe Vreniya predicted sucb early action by Russia in Bulgaria as would defeat the objects of the triple alliance and show that Russia is neither isolated nor incapable of carrying out her victorious policy. The Pan-Slavist papers are having free play in denouncing Germany. Tbe economic war between Russia and Germany has had a fresh development in the czar's ukase giving English and French imports preferential rates, English goods obtaining a remission of 20 per cent, because England levies no duty on Russian corn, and French goods 10 per cent, rebate because of the limited duty levied by France cn Russian corn. The obvious aim of tbe edict is to strike a blow at German trade.

To these evidences of hostility are now added increased military preparations on the frontier. A notable cessation occurred in this work: during the progress of the negotiations between Prince Bismarck and.M. Da Giers for an entente on the eastern question, but since the triple alliance becam- known there has been a feverish acceleration of the work on the fortifleitions at naw.

Tbe German war office responds by enlarging the camp at Grandenz, constructing six new forts around Thorn, and strengthening the works at Posen, Glogan, Pillau and Kon-igsberg. The energies of the war office are at present concentrated on the eastern frontier. Russian securities have again been offered imdiscriiuiuaiely for sale.

The Bismarck-Crlspi arrangement to establish a modus virendi between the Holy See and Italy has not prospered. Advices from Rome to the Germania state that Prince Bismarck intimated to the Vatican that he was authorized to inform the Holy See what concessions the Italian government was disposed to offer. At the same time Prince Bismarck declined to be responsible for the conduct officially of the negotiations, and merely offered to be a friendly medium. The Vatican's reply was a query whether Italy would acknowledge tbe absolute independence of the Holy See, wit he restitution of a part cf Rome as the pop 's sine qua non, Bignor Cri-pi did not entertain these terms, and Prince Bismarck's action in the meantime has ceased. After arriving from Eaden yesterday the Emperor appeared as usual at a window of the palace and saluted the crowd outside.
