| In Both Branches.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Mr. Reed called
the attention of the house to the fact that
Messrs Quigg and Stratus, members-elect
from New York, were present, and, al
though their credentials had not vet been
received, there was no question as to their
election He asked unanimous consent
that they take the oath of Office. No OBJ
lection being made, the members-elect
were sworn in.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The house bill
providing for the erection of public
building at Brockton, Mass, was favor
ably reported from the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds. After this,
without being able to fix limitation to de-
bate, the house went into committee of
whole on the seigniorage bill, and the
question occupied the entire day.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Mr. Bland be-
gan his coercive tactics to compel vote
on the silver seigniorage bill The bulk
of the Republicans and the Democratic
opponents of the measure inaugurated a
filibuster with the intention of forcing
him to produce quorum of the advo-
Gates of the bill, and the entire day was
consumed in rollcalls. The highest num-
Der of votes Mr.. Bland was able to poll
was 1853 in favor of his demand for the
previous question on the motion to close
debate. OF these, 145 were Democrats, 9
Populists and Republicans.
The senate adjourned few minutes
past o'clock yesterday afternoon, after
spending the better part of two days con-
sidering the nomination of W. HI. Peck
ham of New York to be associate justice
of the supreme court. The vote had just
been taken on a motion to confirm the
nomination, and the result was rejection
by vote of 80 to Al.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The fight over
the silver seigniorage bill was resumed in
the house today, and Mr.. Bland is conf
dent that there will be quorum on hand
to order the previous question by tomor-
row. Once the necessary quorum is OBJ
tanned. 1t will be brought to a vote, If need
be by special order from the committee
on rules, the speaker having promised a
special rule if the emergency demands it.
The senate will make the week as far as
possible a cleaning up week, so as to
make way for the tariff debate, which
will necessarily prevent the consideration
Of less important subjects when it shall
once be begun.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The success Of
the fllibuster against the Bland silver
bill forced the Democratic ad-
of the measure to invoke the de-
cree of a caucus, and Immediately after
caucus was held in the
aall Of the house to consider the situation.
The opening session of the senate was
devoid of interest. Senator
Iale presented a resolution To investigate
certain printing contracts, but the matter
lid not even create a discussion, although
he resolution was adopted.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-The deadlock on
he Bland seigniorage bill was not broken
n the house Rollcall followed rollcall
Until 4 o'clock. when, it being apparent
hat Mr.. Bland could not muster q
quorum on his proposition, he moved an
adjournment The high water mark
was 40, nine short of quorum.

A Marriage a la Mode.

The deputy clerk in the marriage bu-
reau at Jacksonville was very, very
busy. Without looking up from his
work he knew there was a colored couple
looking around timidly near the door
and occasionally peering over at the desk
where he sat writing.
This lasted for about half an hour,
when, becoming annoyed, he suddenly
leaped up and demanded:
"Well, we'll, want to get married?
Why don't you say SOP
They grinned at each other, then
grinned at the clerk, and the man said,
"Ya-as."
SCOT any moneys"
"Ya-as, SIR"
"How much%
"Two dollars"
"Hand it here"
He slowly, almost painfully, .nted
out 81 in chicken money. The clerk
grabbed it. "Join right hands," he said.
Then faster than thunder shower can
patter on a tin roof he ratified off the
following:
"By virchof thoritof state of Floridin
me vestedinow declare you manwife.
Gitowder here" And they went, still
grinning.
Next day, while the bridegroom was
laying track for the new electric car line,
he was heard to say:
"Mr. Charlie Verelst is de smartest
white man in ACKNOWLEDGMENT you
in minnitl Golly, I specks to git him
to marry me every timer'-Florida Hus-
tier

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inven-
tons and improvements in the arts and sci
enceS generally was so great as now. The
conveniences of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm
and in official life, require continual Access
sions to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time aud ex-
pense. The political change in the admin
istration of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor who be-
ing on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the af-
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quickly cOpceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the "No patent, no pay" system. Invent
ors who entrust their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,
John Wedderburn, General Manager, 61S F
street, n. W., Washington, ID. c., repre-
senting large number of important daily
and weekly papers, as well as general peri
odicals OF the country, was instituted TO
protect its patrons from the unsafe meth
DDS heretofore employed in this line of BUSH
ness. The said Company is prepared to
take charge of all patent business entrust-
ed to 1t for reasonable fees, and prepares
and prosecutes applications generally, in
GLIDING mechanical inventions, design pat
ents, trade marks, labels, copyrights, inter
terenceS, arrangements, validity reports,
and gives especial attention TO rejected
cases. 1t is also prepared TO enter into
competition with any firm in securing for
eign patents.

representatives of New York
company, whose machines have been
adopted by majority of the metropol-
itan Journals and magazines, with a
view of arriving at definite under
standing as regards the working of the
composing machines by members of the
Trades union. The matter was discussed
Tor several hours, but as the company
was not disposed to accede any points
to the printers no conclusion was ar
rived at. The matter will probably be
left for the national printers organiza.
fion to act upon.
