THk
Senators Dixon and Plat Of the committee

ton of our patent system as interpreted BY MI.
Francis Forbes, New York patent attorney,
who was one OF the commissioners to the Madrid
convention in 1880. Mr.. Forbes spoke in favor
of a bill introduced 10 Congress providing for
the appointment Of commissioners to revise
the patent laws and urged that the government
give its adherence to the conference for the
protection of industrial property, held at Paris
in 1888
In 1890 delegation was sent to the conven-
ton at Madrid at which the subject Of trade
marks received confederation, but since then
nothing in connection with the subject has
been done by the United States The pending
bill provides for the appointment OF commits
sioners by the President. to report, after in
vestigasion, in regard to the possible revision
of the patent and trademark laws in con-
formity with this convention.

THE FRENCH CABLE.

Secretary Blaine Makes Strong Argument
Against 1t.
Secretary Blaine appeared today before the
Senate committee on commerce and made a
strong argument in opposition to the passage
of the pending joint resolution authorizing
the landing of the French cable on the
shores of Virginia and South Caroline. The
pith Of the Secretary's objection was that the
French Cable Company. cooperating with
the Brazilian government. had an absolute
monopoly of the cable privileges between the
United States and Brazil, and that il the reso-
luton was passed the negotiations which have
been in progress for two years looking
to the procurement of a concession to
an American cable company to enter
Brazil would come to naught. The Secre-
tary's argument was supplemented by
q statement made by Solicitor Partridge,
while the cable company was represented BY
Messrs. JEFF Chandler nd.Eppa Hunton, who
endeavored to contravert the departmental
view Of the proposed legislation.
The Secretary appeared to be in excellent
health and made his argument with spirit and
emphasis.

was the ultimatum Re will not present apy
resolution, but will go B Minneapolis.
But they we're ob!ige to succumb. There
has been some question: neither or not Senator
Hiscock would constitrn ono of the delegates
at large. Every one fought the Big Four"
would be selected.
A. Schroeder and Nayl Officer Willis came
of instructing the delegaes, but Senator His
cock counselled with hem, and as q result
peace prevailed.
Another question thatias caused and is yet
causing earnest discussio is the strong desire
on the part Of the county delegates to secure
new basis OF representation on the state COM
mlttee.
There seems to be Nile doubt that if the
delegates were left to flow the bent OF their
own minds they wouldvote to instruct the
state delegation for HARRISON.
Warner Miller's absena Is noted.
Whitelaw Reid is a strdg favorte for second
place and there is a strot sentiment in favor

SENATOR MCMILLAN INDIGNANT.

He Wants to Know What the Commissioners
Have Done About Permits to Theaters.
Senator Mcmillan is indignant. The Dis
trict Commissioners are responsible for this
disturbed condition of affairs. This morning
the Senator was informed that the Commits
sioners had granted permit for the construc-
ton of Metzerott Hall, the auditorium to be
some twenty or more feet above the level Of
the street.
Almost instantly the Senator went to the
telephone and learned from Commissioner
Douglass that the information he had received
was correct Mr.. Douglass, on learning the
Senator's views, promised to call an immediate
meeting Of the board to give the permit some
reconsideration Before doing this however,
the Commissioner intimated that the permit
was not revokable.
Fifteen minutes later the Senator offered a
resolution in the Senate and secured an i'm
mediate agreement thereto. The resolution
requires the District Commissioners Ito re-
port to the Senate forthwith what action, il any,
they have taken to make building regulations
to carry into effect the joint resolution to reg
ulate licenses to proprietors in the city Of
Washington, &c. also whether the Commis-
sioners have issued any permits for the erec-
ton Of theaters or public halls TO be con-
| structed at any height above the level OF the
| street."
"The granting Of such permit az the one
which has been issued for Metzerott's Hall is
outrageous" said Senator Mcmillan to a STAR
reporter this afternoon. 1T is direct breach
Of an agreement between the committee
| and the District Commissioners. We talked
the whole matter of building permits over
| and the Commissioners agreed to adopt the
regulations which are law in Boston, The
safety of the public demanded such action and
! it was only when the Commissioners::as sented
to the terms that promised to refrain from
| bringing the matter up in the Senate.
1.-The ease with which some men see notes
/ and the difficulty they have in observing beams
| is wonderful A few days ago Senator Hoar
came to me and told me that the authorities of
his church had been notified that it was
illegal to place chairs In the aisles
| That was very proper action on the part Of the
Commissioners, but it is comparatively minor
affair. 1t satisfied them, suppose, that they
| we're doing their duty and they at once turned
around and granted a permit to
build public hall-in which l,2OO
people are to be accommodated than
| twenty feet above the sidewalk. 1t is an out
| rageous piece of business, and l am going to
say a good deal and do q good deal before lei

THE ROCK CREEK PARK,

The House Appropriations Committee to
Investigate the Condemnation Proceedings.
After a few days rest the Rock Creek Park
question bobbed up again in the House.
Judge jeremiah Wilson and Mr.. #. A.
Lambert appeared before the subcom-
mittee Of the appropriation committee this
afternoon and made an argument asking that
the committee take some action which would
insure the suspension of all proceedings
in the appropriation bill for the benefit
Of the Rock Creek Park until further &C.
ton should be taken by Congress. The COM
mittee has decided to report Mr.. Dockerys res
olution OF inquiry, emitting out only the pre-
amble and leaving the resolution and providing
that the committee on appropriations shall in,
vestigate into the condemnation proceed
ings and in fact all other proceedings which
have marked the course Of the Rock Creek
Park.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
TO REMOVE rHE coBBLEsroNEs.

TO REMOVE rHE coBBLEsToNEs.
The Commissioners have ordered the Ana
costa and Potomac River Railroad Company
to remove the cobblestones from the space
occupied by its old track near the Navy Yard
bridge and repair the same with granite blocks
to correspond with the pavement on 18th
street. and the Metropolitan Railroad CON-
the space around the .urntabie or East Capt.
toll street.
THE ICE BILL AMENDED.
The Commissioners today recommended that
Senate bill 1894, TO prevent the sale or del
livery of ice within the District Of Columbia
On the Sabbath day, commonly known as Sun
day" which was referred to them for their
views thereon, be amended as follows and en-
acted: Section ], line 6, strike out the words
''at depots or Offices" After the word Sun
day" in line insert ''nor at depots or Offices
and 9 o'clock am. and S and O'Clock pm.
on that day."
ARGUING Fon THE POOL ROOMS.
Lawyer John F. O'Neill. at the head Of a
large delegation of pool-room owners. called
upon the Commissioners this afternoon to urge
the reconsideration Of their action in relation
to the order Of March q prohibiting minors
from entering pool rooms and closing them
after midnight and on Sundays.
ne presented long argument settlng forth
the injustice of the order and requesting thai
it be revoked or suspended until the end of the
present license year, or that an age limit be
inserted in the order, placing tho limit Of age
at fourteen years, and holding the boys and
not the proprietors responsible for youthful
| lying. The poOl-room owners who had taker
out licenses had, he claimed, a vested righ
and it would be unconstitutional to deprive
| them of that right.
The game Of pool, he said. and its exhilarat
| ing effects upon mind and body is not gener
ally understood, and because OF this willfu
ignorance it is condemned as possessing
vicious tendency.
