PATENT GAZETTE BEHIED TINE.

Lawyers and Patentees Throughout the
Country Complain Of Delay-Inexper-
ience Caused IL All.
WASHINGTON, July 19-The delay in
The iss ne Of patents and the Patent
Office Gazette is being commented upon by
patent attorneys in Washington and in
other cities. Parts Of each of the last
three issues have been delayed three or
four days. and the Gazette of July A.
II and 1S are still in the hands of the
photographers,
In consequence Of these delays a num-
Der Of complaints have been received by
Commissioner Seymour from patent
lawyers in different parts Of the country,
and in sOme cases petitions have been
sent to the commissioner protesting
against both the delay and the character
of the work being done.
Some months ago the interior depart
ment officials arrived at the conclusion
that the prices paid the Norris Peters
company Of this city were excessive
although the work done by them wa:
exceptionally fine, as it is said. the
result of a carefully-guarded secrel
process.
They believed that another litho
graphic company also of Washington
which was without experience in thil
kind of work, but had submitted bic
materially less than that of the Peters
Company, could in time do equally
good work; hence the change
It is claimed that the worl
now being done by the new com
pany is nearly as good as the average o
the old work and that material progress
is being made in the matter of time
The new company state that the Jul,
4th and 1lth editions of. the Gazette vii
be out during this week and thereafte
there will be only slight delays.
AS to the character of the work fur
nished by the new company, Commits
sioner Seymour said TO day that not on,
drawing had been accepted tina
could not be readily understood ant
read by any person familiar will
mechanical drawings He believed tha
the ends ought to be attained were suf
ficiently important and desirable to jus
tify at the outset some little delay in th
issue Of patents. He confidently believe
that the work of the new company viii
in a very short time be satisfactory.

PROOF AGAINST SNAKE BITES.

Physicians Pronounce Dot sonweu, a

NEW YORK, July 19-The physicians
at st Vincent's Hospital are unanimous
in pronouneing Miss Dot Sonwell, the
snake charmer who was bitten by a
rattler on Sunday, a most peculiar
young woman In spite of the fact
that a venemous snake bit her in a
dangerous spot, and that the poison
had plenty of time to get in its work,
she continues to improve, until now it is
almost certain that she will recover.
Although her head is swollen, she suffers
but little pain and she is anxious to be
out again and among her dangerous pets.
One of the doctors told a reporter yes
terday that it was one of the most
remarkable cases that had come under
his observation
why" he said "she shows none Of
the symptoms which invariably follow

she must be proof against snake bites,
and if she is, she is lucky giIl."

REAR ADMIRAL MARKHAM TESTIFIES.

He Repeats the Story Contained i'm His
Dispatches to the Admiralty Did Not
Understand the Signal the Victoria
Answered.
VALETTA, Malta, July 19.-The court
martial which is trying certain of the
officers of the warship Victoria for
losing their vessel of Tripoli, Syrie.
resumed its sittings this morning, this
being the third day of the trial.
rhe first witness called to day was
Rear Admiral Markham, whose flag was
flying on the Camperdown at the time
she ran into and sank the Victoria. His
official dispatches to the admiralty re-
porting the fact and the details of the
disaster were read and he stated that he
had nothing to add to these dispatches
When questioned as to the impression
made upon him when the signal of Vice
Admiral Tryon was hoisted on the Vic
toria ordering that the distance between
the two columns be six cable lengths, Rear
Admiral Markham replied that when the
signal was read he said to his flag
lieutenant: "That is impossible since it
is an impracticable maneuvre,"
The rear admiral then repeated the
story of the signals as contained in his
dispatches to the admiralty He said
that when he signalled to the Victoria
that he did not quite understand the
signal the Victoria answered that the
Camperdown was delaying the man
oeuvres.
It then occurred to the witness that he
was to put the helm of the Camperdown
down and turn her sixteen points to
starboard, while the Victoria would ease
her helm and circle round on the outside
of the division which was being led by
the CamnprdoWu
