His Account ot the Legal Diffic til ties and how They .Terminated.- •«. Jv,

Sup',:. .s

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Elisha Gray, Ph. D., inventor of the telephone, has just returned from an important visit to New York, the results of Which are published in the following interview between tne gentletrtan and a reporter for this paper. It will be sufficient to presume that the title above announced—inventor of the telephone—is hereafter to be recognized financially by his long-litigating rival, the Bell Telephone Company. Suing and counter 6uings are over," and,Mr. Gray enjoys, undisputed, his hdnors and royalties.

The Inter Occan man, who 'passed a half hour at Mr. Gray's pleasant place at Highland Park, yesterday afternoon, as! ed his host for the details of the final settlement of the law suits, the determinatidn of which, fifes already been dispatched to the paper*.

I am not tit liberty to give, perhaps all the details, but 1 can state in that there has been

general

arrangement ar

rived at between the two interests, that is, on the one side, the Bell Telephone dompanv, which is operating under Bell's patents and inventions, and on the other the Amerifcan Speaking Telephone company, thit is operating under my patents. When left' New York they had reached a basis of settlement and a preliminary agreement had been signed. The matter has been amicably settled to the satisfaction of all the parties interested. Oi course trtere area ){rea\nany interests to be taken care of. First, that of the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Gold ane Stock Telegraph Company, and the ^Americant speaking Telephone Company proper, which was organized for the purpose of promoting the speaking telephone interest under my patents." "In this connection, who began this long-continued litigation?" "There have been suits and counter suits I really do not know who sued first They sued us and we sued them. Perhaps there were eight or nine suits In all, covering a number of years. The litigation, in some way or other, has been going on ever since 1875, either in the Intent Office or other courts." "The interest involved has, of course been very great?" "Yes the telephone interest is now, and will be a very large interest. There are something over 100,000 telephones in use at present in this country and it is safe to assume there is room for a million of them." "You speak of the final arrangements being mutually satisfactory. Can I ask what the outlines of it!are?" "The telephone business in the~ whole country will hereafter be conducted by the National Bell Telephone Company, which pays a royalty on each instrument used of whatever description—that s, each telephone of whatever make or design—to the American Speaking Telephone Company." "That is it, in a nutshell?" "Yes, that is the recognition that they make of our rights. And we consider that we have substantially gained the points that we have been fighting for, in that they concede to pay us for the use not only of our instruments, but of their own also. We turn over our apparatus to them at a price agreed upon, and they buy it." "Your Company retires from business?" "Yes. We get the royalty, and they do the business." "How great is the royalty?"

A gentleman standing by said, without contradiction: "It is understood that the royalty received by the Gray patehts—the patents represented by the stock comjiany—is 20 per" cent of a^l rentals. But it never must fall below per anhum for eaeh instrument.

hat would make the royalty for the first year AT TWE LOWEST, $100,000,

"Your rank as the original, inventor of the telephoneJs. now universally conceded? -jo "It is now allowed that I did discover all the underlying principles involved in the production of the speaking telephone.' "Mr. Edison to the contrary notwithstanding?" -Well,there is a great deal of popular misunderstanding as to what Mr. Edison did. It is like a man who builds a church complete, excepting spire or final,

an&aome other man comes along, and on account of adding that,calls it his church, and so it is named from him. Well, Edison simply made an improvement ont the telephone a long time after the telephone was invented. He simply introduced anew substance in accomplishiog a certain result, without in any way contributing to the development of tbe general, prin-j ciples myolved in the speaking tel^phone^ Thi further you get away from home thetj people seem more generally to think that}, he was the real inventor of the telephone*, whereas he is far behind Bell in that re-j* spect, and far behind mj self. He i»simply the improver, though a very good, improvement he has made." "But not of such magnitude ae to warrant him in stealing everybody else's thunder?" *•*•'». "I don't know about the thunder, but his improvement was simply the 1 SUBSETITUXIOFJ OF ONE SUBSTANCE FORT a another.

in a transmitter. He used a carbon button in. his transmitter, by which the variations of the current were produced by the vibrations of the diaphragm but t&e .principle of producing the same result, by varying the resistance of the electric circuit by the vibration of the diaphragm, had been developed by myself and others 60me time previously, by the use ot others substances than carbon." "What was the date of your settlement?" "A week ago Saturday was the time that the preliminary papers were signed and agreed to. Attempts at a settlement had been made more than a year ago and were renewed at different times, and a great many different propositions made, but without result." "Who are the fortunate one* interested with you in this division?" "The stock of the American Sneaking Telephpne Company belortgs chiefly to myself ahd Dr. 8amu el S. White, of Philadelphia, whose branch house in Chicago is represented by Mr. S. R. Bingham. The only other direct representatives of any Consequence the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company." "What of the Western Union Telegraph Company? They are not

"No, sir." "Are vou a Yankee?"

The court adjourned.

on the moderate estimate of there being that many instruments. It is not unlikely the 20 per cent will realize nearer $2 for each instrument a year," "It is hardly strange that you regard the settlement as satisfactory," observed the reporter "We,never claimed," said Mr. Graf, "that we were entitled to the whole of the interest we have always conceded Bell's rights in the matter we simply wanted them to concede ours." (Laugh

losersr

are they?" "Oh, I think not," said the bystanding gentleman before quoted, with a knowing smile. "It is understood they were in 111 the time afcd helped in the negotiations, and it is reasonable to say that they hdve taken careot themselves they generally do. It is proper to say ly sati

the arrangement io entirely jiatisfactory td the Western i)

Union Telegraphy

Company." "And Edison?" "HE DOESN'T FIOUE* THIS AT AXX,' said"tiifii Gray "*We«wn his patent by an arrangement which we had before this invention was made. There it no conflict. What is called Edison's interest is substantially mine it is simply an improvement on my original production, which gave it a name." "Ana how much will Bell get "Well (with a smile) that will depend very much on how the interest is man.^ aged." "Will your royalty extend to Europe "My European interests are whollyseparate from this country. This arrangement extends simply to this country. I have a number of patents in Europe, and an organization is now being effected in Paris for the operation of our. telephones."

To a reference by the reporter to thecomplimentary banquet given Mr. Grajfrlast fall at Highland Park the gentleman replied, with grateful warmth, that lie never could forget the great honor, and added that it no doubt had its influence toward the present happy outcome of the litigation. "Yes," he further replied, "the recognition I received at Paris 00 doubt had An effect in the same way,"

It may be as well to state here what the gentleman's modesty forbade publishing, that this honor was no less than the cross of knighthood in the 1KG10N OF HONOR, together with a grand medal in the Expcsition Universale. -A

A CANDID CONFESSION, .j "Are you an Englishman?" queried his Honor, severely." *. "I am not." ,r. "Are you a German?" ,4.

When the policeman got done mashing him for that, the Judge mildly ex claimed: "What are "you, then?" "A snoozer, sir."
