| & Adjournment OF Congress. ''2
There seems to be considerable differ
|ence Of opinion among members Us to
when Congress may, can, will or should
adjourn. Quite number believe that
nothing stands in the way OF ending the ses-
sion by July 1st, but it will require strict
and industrious attention to business TO do
that. A large number are OF the opinion
that the session will extend to the middle
OF July. Senators Davis, Of West Virginia,
Window and Allison, ,ot the Appropriations
Committee, agree that it will mot be posi-
BILE to adjourn before July 90 .
A Diow to Inventors.
A number Of patent lawyers held con-
ference here this afternoon to protes.
against the bill which has just passed the
House providing that no action for dam
ages or proceedings in equity shall be s,ls-
tained for the use OF patented articles,
when it appears that the defendant pur-
chased in open market. The bill is looked
upon as direct blow at the.whole patent
system and to the great prejudice OF invcn-
tors. 6t19S&@EN III SiFr rs 'hssg e

really seems to be serious inteu.
ton on the part Of Mr.. Reed to

the attempt to obtaina writ OF habeas corpus

in Guiteaus present condition, how

symptoms which are supposed ( to
