In his annual report to the Secretary Of the
Treasury Mr.. James ]. Brooks, acting chief OF
the secret service division, recommends that
the appropriation for the suppression of coun-
terfeiting and other felonies be increased TO
$75,000 from $50 900. He says:
This greatly enlarged responsibility Of pro-
tecting our growing communities from the
assaults OF counterfeiters and forgers, with the
meager measure Of means allotted eight years
ago must be the apology If any district has
been neglected or its work not efficiently per-
formed, for lack Of means has compelled Us to
hold men at headquarters who should have
been in the highways and byways searching
out the violators OF law and bringing them to
justice. We hare experience and the best of
material for the work. but an additional sum of
$4,000 II needed TO carry the men into the
field and sustain them when there. Cat head
quarters they sustain themselves.)" i.-'i

A THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.
Gen. Rice of Kansas Drawing Up u Call For
Convention in Cincinnati.

zen. N1ce OF Kansas Drawing Up n Call For
Convention in Cincinnati.
OcALA. FLA. Dec. 4.-Glimpses of a third
party movement appear at the alliance conven-
ton today. 1t is chiefly agitsted by the Kansas
delegation. Gen. John H. Rice. candidate 4 .
the Kansas Senatorsiip, assisted by Capt
Powers of Indiana, is drawing up a call
to be issued to the Farmers Alliance and
all industrial unions of America which favor
the principles of the St. Louis platform
to meet in convention in Cincinnati the
Odd of next February to consider the third
party or peoples party movement. The name
of this new party will be the National Union
Party of America" This call is not expected
to be issued before the close of the Ocala con-
vention. The effort seems to be to keep the
National Farmers Alliance from inaugurating
the new party and yet to make it the basis of
this new natiosal party.
At 1870 pm. the National Alliance received
the National ColOrej Alliance in a body in
Convention Hall. The visit was one of frater-
nal greetings and introduction. Speeches are
now being made on both sides.

fected by the international patent conventions

The commission is also to revise the statutes SO

THE GERMAN PATENT LAW.
The committee. through the Department of
State. has received an interesting report from
Consul General Edwards at Berlin upon the
patent system Of Germany as c.ntrasted with
that Of the United States.
He calls especial attention to provision Of
the German law permitting the cancellation of
patent where the invention is not put in OPP
Grafton in Germany within three Years. This
statute was enacted for the purpose of promot-
ing German industries and Mr.. Edwards sug-
gests that such a law in the United States
would stimulate American manufactures. He
also recommends legislation to prevent under
valuation by requiring owners and
manufacturers Of patented and proprietary
articles to make statements for the benefit Of
custom officers and providing that whenever
| they are parties to fraud upon the revenue
their patents and trade marks shall be can
ccled.
The letter was referred to a subcommittee

What Acting Commissioners Belt says Abo1e
Supplies 10 the Sioux lndlans.

what Acting Commissioner Be1t eays About
Supplies 10 the Sioux Indlans-
Acting Indian Commissioner .Aslt hes made
lengthy response to a memorial referred BY
the President TO the Secretary Of the Interior,
which is dated November.6, and claimed to b
signed by 100 Sioux Indians. This memorial
states that when the Sioux gave up the Black
Hills they were told that each man would set
three pounds Of beef a day food Just like the
soldiers, but that they do not receive
such rations, and that they are therefore
starving. Mr.. Belt furnishes D statement Civ
ing tne Quantities OF subsistence purchased for
each OF the hve Sioux agencies in the Da-
kotas out OF the ESQ 600 appropriated
by Congress for the support and civ
nnLaaon OF all the Sioux Indians. which
are valued at s671 500. He ststes that the
agreement with the Indians does not promise
them food just like soldiers" but only ration
OF beef, foour, bacon, coffee, sugar, beans, &c.
he adds that the Indians have received rations
to the full amount warranted by the appropri-
ations made by Congress. The quantity Of
beef, he states, has not been reduced
at Pine Ridge it has been increased. at Rosebud
the total amount to be furnished has been re-
duced because the census shows only about
$3.50 Indians whereas last year il was claimed
snat there were $50 Indians and beef was
furnished on THAT basis.
DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE STARVING.
Continuing Mr.. Bell says: 'In view Of the
supplies now at the agencies and yet to arrive
this Office cannot believe that these Indians are
In a half-starved condition" He does not for
moment doubt that they are hungry. II $3.50
Indians could consume. rations intended
to be issued to 1855 Indians, il can
readily be imagined that they would
feel hungry when receiving rntions for
only 5, $50. This Office has felt that something
more is to be done with appropriations made
by Congress for their support and civilization
than merely to feed them, but it did not intend
to reduce the ration to a starving condition,
nor does it believe that it has done so.
Mr. Belt suggests that it might be q good
idea to make per capita distribution of one
half of one years interest on the permanent
fund Of IS, 600 900, created by the. agreement
with the Sioux, approved March 2, 1883. This
would only amount to So for each, but he thinks
that it would be wise just at this time, espe-
cially as no per capita payment has been made
to the Sioux Indians for over twenty years.

THA faof.sr AoAINsr THE ELHcrTox Bill CRIT
dkD-rHE NORTHERN FARMERS EXPECTED N
TA14sDIrFxRxSr GRouxD-THH FIYTxxxTl
AMENDNRNr

AMENDMENT.
The action of the Farmers Alliance conven-
lion yesterday in protesting against the passage
OF the federal election bill provoked consider
able discussion among Congressman today.
Republicans generally denounce the action,
holding that it proves what has already been
asserted by them that the alliance is IN attach
ment to the democracy.
Representative Lodge spoke Of the action
with considerable disdain, saying that it would
have no effect.
Mr.. Rowell said that the alliance movement
was promoted by the democrats in their own
interests and this partisan action would not be
approved by the western and northern farmers.
The farmers, he declared, believed in honest
elections and the preservation Of the Constitu-
ton, and that when they came to understand
tho situation they would not permit them
selves to be used by the south. The only per-
sons who would approve the action Of the alli-
ance convention in this matter we're those who
were in favor of repeating or multiplying the
fifteenth amendment. He thought the passage
VI the resolution would cause some trouble in
the alliance.
Mr.. Comstock Cdinn.) said he tn ought the
alliance was conducted largely by its southern
branch in the interest Of the democrats. The
northern and western farmers, he thought,
would ma that out.
Mr.. Dingley Of Maine said that the alliance
movement was an attachment to the demo-
cratic party. This was SO patent, he said, that
nc thought it would be failure. He did not
think the farmers Of the north and west would
be T long IN finding It out. 49,,
The action on the election bill resolution
would help them to an understanding Of the
situation. He assumed that in 81 the alliance
would not put national ticket in the field, but
would instruct the alliance in each state to take
such part in the compaign as they thought
wise. The purpose of this would be to have
alliance candidates running in republican
states and to have the democrats Endorsed by
the alliance in the democratic states
Mr.. Carter of Montana said that the alliance
wns an organization in the interest of the de-
mocracy, having its origin in the south, and
that every farmer who was in favor of honest
elections and opposed to fraud, intimidation
and bloodshed would favor the passage Of the
election bill
WILL 90 RIGHT ON WITH THE BILL.
Republican Senators who favor the election
bill are not much disturbed over the fact that
the Farmers Alliance has condemned the
measure. They say it was nothing more than
they expected from ian organization COM
posed almost exclusively of southern anti
adnlinistrationists," and which they term 1.-The
democratic annex" 1t is evident that the
majority in the Senate propose to pass the bill
as soon as possible.

UNUSUALLY COLD WEATHER

Prevails All Over the Country East Of the
ROckies-.A Warmer Wave Coming.
The signal Office furnishes the following
special bulletin to the press: Unusually cold
weather prevails this morning over nearly the
entire country east of the Rocky mountains,
the line Of freezing temperature extending as
fur south as southern North Carolina and in
Guiding the northern portion Of Georgia,
Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas. A fall of twenty to thirty degrees in
the past twenty-four hours occurred over the
region extending from West Virginia south
westward to southern Alabama and Mississippi,
and the temperature in Wisconsin, northern
Illinois and northeastern Iowa is more than
twenty degrees below the normal for the
season.
twill probably be still colder tomorrow morn
ing in the south Atlantic and middle states and
New England, but the existing low temperature
condition east Of the Mississippi is not likely to
be Of long continuance, as the storm central
this morning in western Nebraska will in its
movement eastward cause warmer weather.

publicans and democrats both had spoken to
