he not know that all this talk about

And does nc not believe In his heart that

JAMES "DIscREPANcY"
Tn IIs UnomciaI TaIk aud OmciaI Report
in 10 VutO.

When Texas was called yesterday Mr. Upson In
troduce into the House a resolution whose pur-
pose Is TO go to the bottom of the starroute mat
tiers. Mr.. Upson, like many other Congressman
who represent constituencies largely dependent
ON the star mail service, has shrewd suspicion
that Mr. James, hyslercal relormer has favored
the Railway Mail Service 0t the expense Of those
dependent on the star mail service. This
resolution calls for statement of al
that has been done in reference 10
the mail service since March 4. 1881, to date on
whose Recommendation, and the cost of such SER
vice. II will be rccollcctcd that Mr., James
claqueE claim that he has effected reductions
saving to the Government 81 100000 while his re-
port shows clearly that SO far from reducing the
cost of the mail service he has actually increased
its cost over 100000. This little discrepancy
in Mr.. james unofficial and official statements
suhciently reveal the pertncncy and force OF MT.
upsons resolution, the full text of which Is:
RcsolrCd That the Postmastcr.Genera be instructed
to make out and transmit to the House Of Represent.

lT is estimated that the net profits of
the Patent Bureau for the current fiscal
year will amount to quarter of million.
This shows very vigorous activity on the
part of inventors, and is one of the most
hopeful signs of our national progress.
Invention is greatly stimulated by our
patent laws and by the excellent admin
istration of the details of the system.
But it is not wise to put n penalty on
invention. 1t is not good policy for the
Government to make direct profit out
of inventors. There should be an in
creased expenditure in the management
of the bureau, especially for the publica-
ton of catalogues of all inventions for
which patents have been asked. 1t often
happens that man will give years of
time and deal of money to the working
out of an idea which, though new to him,
is in reality old and has been proven
worthless. There is need of cheap and
accessible publication showing all that
has been accomplished in every line of
invention. After making such improve
ments in the facilities of the offices as are
deemed advisable, the fees should be so
reduced as to bring the receipts nearly
down to expenses.

Sergeant Mason. Cnsc.

Mr.J. G. Bigelow, the counsel for Sergeant Mason,
thinks that the reason General Hancock delays
in ordering the trial Is TO wait until the Guieau
trial is ended. the latter is an important IL not
an essential witness to prove the corpus deiici lie
says that in military courts IL Is well settled that
the confession of the accused shall in no case be
taken TO establish the defense but after the corpus
taken. " ! had much preferred an indictment and
trial by the civil authorities in the regular course
OF law, for two reaSons Flrst-The plea Ofinsanity,
which is our defence, can be more easily cstab.
lished before regular jury than before court
martial. Second-There Is naturally strong preju-
dice against Mason's act MS one in violation OF
military discipline, think General Hancock will
convene the cOurmartial to try this case after the
Gnitcau trial is concluded, and that my client will
be acquitted ON the pen of lnsanity.n

Lambert Tree died yesterday morning
at his residence, 5li Twelfth street northwest,
i. IN the eighty,!hrd year of his age. Mr..
and most esteemed citizens in this community.
lie entered the postal service under the ndminis-
tration of President Munroe and remained con-
tinuousy In the service until last March, when his
growing infrntles admonished him to retire.
The whole time Of his public service covers n
period of more than flly. eight years, thirty years
Of which he held the position Of assistant post:
master OF Washington. His name Is connected
with many postal reforms instituted in the public
interest. He wnsa man Of sIngulnrly pure char
| nCtcr, and such was the cvcnness of his dispose
tion that during his long residence here IL is be-
lievcd he never had an enemy lie was born in Phil
adcphia in 1899, and came 10 Washington III 1870.
lie has been for some years one of the vice. prcsi
dents OF the Society Of the Old Inhabitants. He
retained his faculties to the last moment, and his
death. bed was surrounded by his children and
grandchildren. His funeral will take place from
the family residence tomorrow at two y. m. The
duties of the many positions of honor which were
held by Mr.. Tree were discharged with strict In.
tcgrity and scrupulOus fidelity. He leaves three
| children-Joseph D., of Louisville, Kyi Lambert
of Chicago, aud Miss Nellie Tree. of this city.
They were all at his bedside at the tlmc of his
death. The death of his son, DR.. c. NJ. Tree lately
gave him shock from which he never rallied.
