WAsHISGToH, May u. "A bill OF impor-
tauce to the farmers OF the West has passed
the House. 1t seems that practice has
grown up Of annoying farmers who buy
patents, and OF black.mailing them. For
instance, Il farmer goes into hardware
store and buys barbed fence or patent
hay-tork, or some similar article. These
he uses in improving his farm. Along
comes the agent OF the paten.ec and claims
the use Of the article is an infringement OF
u patent, aud threatens to bring suit for
such infringement unless the farmer is will
ing to pay S25. which is the usual
price exacted The farmer is com
PEELED to pay or take the alternative OF 4
suit. Should the suit be brought the
former would be compelled to appear in II
United States court, probably many miles
away, and the cost OF travel 10 attend
would be equal to the money demanded.
Hence, as arule, he submits 10 the cxtor-
ton. The billin question protects IN inno-
cent purchaser in open market OF any
patent. While it may IN some cases work
unjustly toa patentee, it will protect an
innocent purchaser from prowliny wolves.
1t was significant that the only opponents
OF the measure were the "down.east Yan-
KEGS" whose constituents haye been in the
habit OF practicing the cxtortion. Il

WASHINGTON, May 16.--Mas,er Lucien
Young. one OF the bravest officers Of the
navy, who desires to 20 10 the Arctic re.
gions under the provisions OF Mr.. Calkihs'
bill, says that his plan is entirely feasible
and will incur no special risk or loss OF
life. He proposes to keep near shore. He
would make two depots for supplies to fall
back on i'll case OF q retreat, one on the
western coast OF Greenland aud an
other further north, 1T lady franklin
Bay. He would then keep up the
Greenland coast until be struck the
northern limit OF navigation and make
that the base OF operations. He would then
send out parties by land, and ii tie end OF
the land was reached, on the ice establish
small depots This would be done during
the fall and winter, 80 that the next spring
the party could make dash for the pole
following the line Of the dcpots left the fall
previous, 10 insure protection against star.
walton und enable them to travel uneucum'
bered by stores. He has the opinion OF va.
rious Arctic travellers that his plan is The
most feasible devised so far for the success

poets to find n more moderate climate at

deputy marshal reported that he had been
unable to arrest John W Dorsey, and hnd
no information as to his whereabouts

Tor ten days. lie added that 1t had beef,
Dorsey's intention from the first to attend
when wanted. Dorsey was then arraisned
and he pleaded "not guilty" g
Mr.. Merrick said the Government was
ready TO proceed, but stated that the grand
jury was now considering the Rerlell case
and that. II Mr.. Rerdell were not tried with
the other defendants, it would necessitatc
another trial OF his case. @H
The bearing was then adjourned until

marshal that lie was responsible for the
person OF Dorsey until bail was furnished.

evening, August 9th, in company with four
or five people. One Of the party, young

The two ladies in tue party seemed par
ticularly merry. The one he saw dead on

Mrs. lnwood, OF Hartford, testified to
seeing james Alalley, jr., at 10:45, on Fri

: EXPORTS or Rrrnilstnlla,

.SWAsIlSGroN, May lG.-The report OF ex-
ports OF brcads,uiTs for April shows IN
export OF S9,S35,00O as against sec, ,i2l 900
last year. The ten months ending May LIST
show IN export OF i57,5iG,000. III the
same months last year tie exports were
S225, ,5l0,0 900. A notable ie iture in these
exports is the increase OF San Francisco,
Portland and Willamette, their increase
being 10 per cent. The April exports are
heavier than has been anticipated, nearly
five million bushels OF wheat going out, as
against ten and half millions last year.
or this, however, .one-hali was from the
Pacific coast, the shrinkage being entirely
in the Atlantic ports. New Orleans, which
threatened year ago to become o rival Of
Atlantic ports for wheat raised in the val.
ley, Of the Upper Mississippiand. Missouri,
sent only Sl06,000 worth, whereas, q year
ago, she shipped nearly S22,000,o00. An.
other significant feature is the export Of
wheat flour. Last year it was 655, 900 bar
rels. This April it was $4,000 barrels, the
heavy loss in the breadstuGs being in wheat
and corn. Barley, oats and rye hold their
own this wear as against last. III Z J-Es
