The call Iecites generally that "the great
monopolies of the country have made strong
efforts to destroy the present wise and be-
neficent Patent laws, and there have been
none to antagonize the representations
thus made. To this end the inventors of
this country have determined to form
permanent organization, wholly and solely
for the purpose of being able by combined
efforts to show Congress aud the people
that it will be detrimental to the inter-
ests Of the country to accede to the de-
mands of the monopolists." The conven-
tion to be held will seek TO adopt some united
form of action, or form State associations.
All inventors and patentees who can at
tend, and desire to do so, are invited TO adj

tive Committee, J. s. Zerbe, editor Of the

American Swine Product.

Washington, March 1.-The presi-
dent to-day transmitted to the house a
report of the commission on the con-
dition of the swine products of this
country. He recommends the views
and conclusions OF the commission as
worthy of the most careful considera-
tion of congress with a view, If it can
be done legitimately, to remove the re-
strictions and export now existing; he
also commends the public spirit of the
members of the commission and recon-
mends an appropriation to reimburse
them for expenses incurred and remu-
nerate them for the time spent. He
likewise recommends that a provision
for special research in the direction Of
an investigation into the origin, prop
agation and means of extirpation of
trichinosis. The secretary of state also
transmits a communication on the sub
ject and says the report shows conclu-
sively that the hog cholera is not pres
ent in the meat packed for human food,
III NJ Ofohs 10 uiocooo CouliuuHl-
cable to human beings. AS to trichi-
nosis, the report is less conclusive, be-
cause less is known about the trans
mission of living trichine germs. he
advises further investigation. He as
serts, however, that the process of
packing and the time between the
slaughter and consumption abroad, so
diminishes the vitality and ~reproduc,
tive power of the trichinse as to pre-
vent any development in the human
body. Nc single instance is based on
scientific testimony that can be ad-
duced Of trichinosis in Europe arising
from the use of the American packed
swine products.

brave fellows reached within FIVE pace,
Of the square. None of them bolted
they only fell back sullenly when they
were forced.
Having cleared the ground in front
with their Martini rifles, the British
attacked the fort. Colonel Burnaby
was first to mount the psrapet, firing a
double-barrelled shotgun into the en-
envy. Around the works the rebels
fought with furious energy and a fright
full melee with bayonets and spears
took place. AT last the British gained
possession of the fort. They captured
two Krupp guns and at once turned
them against the enemy, but the Arabs
still contested every inch. They would
not submit to be driven off. They
could only be killed. The British next
directed their attention to the old sugar
mill, a brick building, containing an
iron boiler. This they stormed, and
succeeded in dislodging 200 rebels, who
leaped forth and charged from every
opening.
At 10 O'Clock, after an hour OF in
tense fighting, the rebels gave way and
bolted outright. The Calling guns and
Martini rifles had caused great havoc
there. The British then pursued the
rebels as thsy fell back and advanced
as far as the fresh water wells of Teb,
where the rebels made their last stand.
Sheikes, who advanced empty handed
to show they bore charmed lives, were
stricken down with bayonet thrusts.
The highlanders carried the next earth
work, carrying three guns. At the
end Of four hours arduous fighting, the
British gained possession of the rebel
cuts and wells. The cavalry
on the right flank charged the retreat
the troops who rode among them firing
blow for blow.
A splendid display OF heroism was
made by three mounted rebels. They
resolutely maintained their ground
against a shock Of two cavalry charges.
In the third charge they were suit down
but not before they had killed several
men and wounded Colonel Barrow with
their spears. The enemy retired sui
lenly, and in consequence the British
kept up their firing for a long time after
the victory Of the day had been de-
General Graham decided to remain at
the wells Of Teb Friday night. His
intention was to continue the advance
Tokar on Saturday morning. More
fighting is anticipated. The spoils from
Baker Pasha were in a large measure
recovered.

Cairo, March 1.-The English gov
eminent has given its sanction to
despatching two British battalions to
Assouan. The popular enthusiasm
so strongly aroused when General Cor
don's mission wal announced is sub
siding. At Khartoum less confidence
is felt in the situation. 1t is feared the
tribes beyond Khartoum will ridicule
General Gordon's somewhat pompous
proclamation. Colonel Stewart, secre-
tary to General Gordon, has returned
to Khartoum from his mission of con-
ciliation up the White Nile. He passed
everywhere without molestation, but
the natives assembled at several points
upon the banks of the river and as
sumed a menacing attitude. Colonel
Stewart will 60 again up the White
Nile, taking with him 1900 Bashi Ba-
zouks, In order to over-awe the ma
