AN INQUIRY TALKED OF.
Bellamy Storer Will Call on
Gresham for Infor-
nation.
MONROE DOCTRINE CITED
AS Authority for Interference
Between China and
Japan.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Is. 5.-Representa-
tive Bellamy StOrer, of the committee
On foreign affails of the house of repre-
sentatives, intends presenting to con-
greSs when it reassembles a resolution
of inquiry as to the action of Secretary
Gresham i'll suggesting TO China and
Japan that this country will act as
mediator in the settlement of the pres
ent war. Mr.. StOrer is now making
careful examination of the subject with
view to taking the initiative. The
resolutions, when drawn. will request
the secretary of state to transmit to
congress all correspondence on the sub
ject, not Incompatible with the public
service. They will also ask for in
formation as to what departure, if any,
from the traditional policy of the gov
ernment, as embodied in the Monroe
doctrine, is contemplated by the eXecu-
tive branch in becoming a factor in
Asiatic entanglementS.
kMr. Storer says he has no desire to
embarrasS the executive branch in any
foreign policy they wish 10 pursue, but,
as member of the committee of for
eign affairs, he says such foreign
policy as is now contemplated should
properly have the attention and judg-
ment of congress. In examining the
treaty of 1858 between China and the
United States, under which this govern
ment has suggested its willingness to
mediate, Mr.. Storer says the language
does not contemplate mediation by the
president or executive branch alone.
1t recites In substance that the United
States will exercise their good offices in
case any nation acts unlustly or oppres-
siyely against China. This, Mr.. StOrer
points out, suggests that the good offices
of the United States. but not Of the
president-so that it would be proper,
and perhaps essential, that the congress
siOnal branch of the government should
act in cases where such good offices are
to be exercised. From a casual in
spection of the treaty." Mr.. Storer
added, 1.-The clause would hardly seem
to warrant proposition of mediation
unless. as the treaty states, China is be-
ing treated 'unjustly or oppressively.'
and l do not suppose this government
would prejudice the trouble between
China and japan by saying the latter
was acting unjustly or oppressively."
Mr.. StOrer says that any action he
takes will be Oh conservative lines. as
he desires to make his inquiry for in-
formation rather than criticism until
the facts are presented.

gratifying increase in view of the fact
that the deposits had been falling off in
preceding years, and Of the further fact
that soldier with deposit account
rarely leaves the service without an
honorable discharge. The expend
iture5 Oh account of pay of army show
an increase of S275, 1858 over the preced-
ing year, due, in part, 10 the fact that
the enlisted force was more nearly kept
at its maximum limit. The fact that
the expenditures on account Of pay OF
volunteers were $493. .653 less than last
year Is taken as an indication that these
claims are being exhausted. The pay
master general questions the beneficial
effect of the system of Withholding
a portion of the soldiers pay un-
til he is discharged. The travel allow
ance of the soldier is ample to take him
home when discharged, and it is not
necessary to withhold pay for that pur-
pose, Amy system which makes the
soldier dependent detracts from his
manhood and efficiency. Many man
enlistS being told that his pay will be
$13 per month, only to find that. through
deductions on account of clothing and
withheld pay, two or three months must
elapse before he can receive any pay.
lie regards this as breach Of contract,
and deserts. Therefore it is recon-
mended that the system, which is cum
bersome, complicated and obsolete. be
abolished. II is also recommended that
there be but one common pay chest for
the army. and that all disbursements be
made through the bonded officers of the
pay corps, insttad of being divided up

AFFECTS MANY PATENTS.
Important Case on Trial in the Su-
preme Court,


WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-ArgumeEt
was begun in the United States supreme
court today in the case of the Bate Re-
frigerator company VS.. SchwarZchiid eI
Sulsberger. The case is considered a
very important one. as its decision is
expected to decide the important point
of how far the life of patent in this
country is affected by the existence of
patent rights in foreign countries. In
the present case the refrigerator COM
pany is represented by Messrs. G. E.
Mitchell, eX-commiSSioner of patents.
and James c. Carter. and the defend-
ants by Wheeler II. Peckham, Edmund
Wetmore and Leonard E. Curtis. The
court has extended the time for
argument to six hours, and the
presentation of the case. which
was not begun until late to-
day, will consume the entire day tomor-
row. Mr.. Mitchell was the only lawyer
who spoke on the case today. The case
comes 10 the supreme court on a ques-
ton certified from the United States
court of appeals for the Second circuit,
the question being whether ''the in
vention for which the patent was issued
to Bate has been previously patented in
a foreign country, within the meaning
of section 1887 of the Revised Statutes.
and whether the patent expired, under
the terms of this section, before the ex-
piratiOn of the term of seventeen years
from its date"
The question thus raised has long
been a question of controversy, and
affects many patents, including Edi-
son 5 lncandeScent lamp patent.

ANOTHER HINCKLEY.
Gold Hill, Col, Swept Away
by Terrible Forest
Fires,
BUT NO LIVES WERE LOST.
Citizens Take Refuge in the
Mines and on Noun
tainS.
OTHER PLACES THREATENED.
Large Area Burned Over
Property Loss Amounts
to Millions.

BOULDER, Col, Nov. 15.-Fire in a
saw mill west Of the mining camp of
Ward. starting last night. spread to the
timber and has been doing great dam
age, and this morning caused intense
excitement here by reason of sensa-
tional reports to the effect that the min
ing camps of Ward and Gold Hill had
been burned to the ground. Ward,
however, did not suffer. but Gold Hill
was at late hour this afternoon burn
ing, and other camps are threatened.
Gold Hill, having population of 500, is
situated fourteen miles west of Boulder,
and Ward, with population of 1000, Is
FIVE miles further on.
The fire started just west of Ward. in
the heavily timbered districts, and
swept to the east. The inhabitants
were alarmed early in the evening,
dense clouds of smoke settling down on
the camp. The fire spread through the
dry pine timber with terrible rapidlty.
and settlers along its path were forced
to leave their homes to burn and to get
into the camps. The fire burning on
the outskirts of Ward advanced toward
Gold Hill, and swept over an area of
about eight miles. The fire is SPREAD
ing towards Copper Rock, and it is be-
lieved many small camps will be
burned.
The residents of Gold Hill, who have
not come to Boulder, have assembled
on the top of Horsefelt mountain. and
are watching the progress Of the burn
ing fire. The wind is blowing furiously,
and drives the fire before it in large
sheets OF flames. The property loss
cannot at present be Icld, but it will
amount TO over $4,000, 900. There will
necessarily be great destitution.
Tie fire spreading along Lefthand
and in the direction of Sunshine. Sum
shine is two miles from Gold Hill.
Among the important mines at Gold
Hill for which fears are expressed are
the Alimackee and Cash Beerkin. A
courier reports the destruction of about
one half of the property of Camp Tai
colt and the Prussian mine and mill.
The timber around Gold lake has been
swept bare by the flames. The ranch
house of Mr.. Ely at Leithand has been
completely destroyed. and Mr.. Ely was
badly burned about the face aud hands.
Mr.. Seaman, whose ranch was burned,
also suffered injuries. Fred Ehler's
property, near Sunset was burned, and
Ehler was found unconscious in an
Outbuilding, where he had gone to en-
deavor to save something. He is seri-
Ously burned.

Kinley, Of Ohio. will be the next Re-

He believes that the tariff question will
be the issue. and deems that protection
for home industries is what is neces-
sary for prosperity. He thinks. too,
that there will be favorable silver legis-
lation by congress that will make
silver dollar the peer Of any. He did
not go SO far as TO prognoSticate the
re-enactment, in schedule or detail, of
the Mckinley measure, yet thought
that general measure making a pro-

become law.
