REVIEW OF THEIR WORK AT
WASHINGTON.
Detailed Proceedings of Senate and
HOUSEHOLDS Passed or Introduced
i'm Either Neutrality-suspicious. of Mo-
ment to the Country at Large.
The Legislative Grind.

After sharp debate in the Senate We'd
nesday, the financial issue which had
blocked the progress of the appropriation
bills was swept away by the withdrawal
of both Mr.. Germans amendment and
Mr. Mills proposition 10 repeal the laws
authorizing the issue of bonds. The day
was wasted in the House, so far az the
purposes for which the day was set aside
were concerned, namely, 10 consider bills
reported from the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds. The conference
reports on the bill to prohibit the importa-
ton Of goods in bond through the United
States into the Mexican free zone. and orr
the pension and post Office appropriation
bills, were agreed TO. Several pension
and other bills Of minor Importance were
passed by unanimous consent.
The Senate Thursday passed the sundry
civil bill, including the items appropriate
ing over S5.000,000 for sugar bounties.
The legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill was also passed. In a
speech in the Senate Mr.. Chandler de-
clared Senators Murphy, Roach and Mar
tin had been elected by fraud. The House
decided to further insist on its disagree
ment to the Senate amendment TO the Dip
lomatic bill providing for a cable to Ha-
wall

Wilson as postmaster general and Judge
Showalter as an assistant judge in the
Chicago district Bills TO protect or Kill
seals; TO pay West Virginia its share Of
refunded tax, and the Senate anti-lottery
bill were passed by the House.
The naya. appropriation hill WIS passed
Saturday by the Senate after it had been
amended TO provide for the building of
but two battleships. The appropriation
for Chicago's new post office building was
cut down to 100000 by the conference
committee. The Senate receded from the
Hawaiian cable amendment to the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill.
Both houses have adopted Il resolution
looking to the participation of Congress in
the dedicatory ceremonies at Chicka-
manga. An agreement was reached by
both houses on the sundry civil and Indian
appropriation bills. A bill granting n
pension to General John g. McClernand
was passed by the House through the eff
forts of General Sickles. \ resolution
designating Speaker Crisp rs one of the
delegates to b-mctallc conference WAS
unanimously adopted by the House.
Both houses of Congress adjourned at
noon Monday. Little business was trans
acted in the final hours. EX-Speaker
Reed and two of his friends refused to
vote for resolution thanking Speaker
Crisp for his fairness. Appropriations
made by the Congress just adjourned ag-
gregate $500, DO, $50. about $3I 100000
less than those of the Reed Congress.

Germany and France Likely to Get
Their Own Medicine.

Their Own Medicine.
Ii may be stated without hedge or equiv
ocation that the administration Is seri-
ously contemplating resort to retaliation
as the best, quickest and only sure way of
bringing Germany and France TO terms.
ana forcing them TO rescind the offensive
determinations against American cattle
and American meat products. The Pres
'dent and Secretary of State are collect
ing mass of statistical information
bearing on our commerce with these ma
tons, with the specific end in view of lind
ing the weakest point at which to begin
an attack. Ii is unfortunate for the pur-
poses OF the campaign of retaliation that
the United States sells both France and
Germany more property than it buys from
them. but il is urged that neither of them
purchases our grain and our cotton and
other necessaries of existence because IT
loves u.s. but because il needs these things
and cannot get them elsewhere rs cheap
rs in America. The logic of this argu-
ment is that an interruption of trade re-
lations with France and Germany will in
reality be less hazardous to our interests
than would appear on the surface. Our
Government is receiving help in this mat
ter from an unexpected quarter-from the
great ocean transportation lines owned IN
Germany and France. Feeling that their
immense interests are becoming endan-
gered, they are beginning TO move ener-
getically TO repress the growing tendency
abroad to jump on American products,
thereby inviting retaliation.

Many Millions at Stake.

The case of the Bate Refrigerator Com
pany against Francis Sulzberger x Co..,
upon which the question of American pat
ents expire when foreign patents
have been previously issued, was decided
at Washington in an exhaustive opinion
10y Justice Harlan of the u. :. Supreme
Court. 1t is estimated that not less than
S6O00,000 of capital hinges on the decis-
ion, which determines the status of many
valuable patents. The court held that the
invention for which Bate received Il pat
ent was previously patented i'll foreign
country and that the United States pat
ent expired with the foreign patent. The
decision is against the electric and other
patents involved in the decision of this
suit There was no disscnsion. The case
involves the construction of section 1887
of the Revised Statutes, which provides
that every patent granted for an inyen-
ton which has been previously patented
in foreign country shall be so limited as
10 expire at the same time as the foreign
patent, or if there be more than one, at
the same time with the one having the
shortest term, and in no case shall 1T be
in force more than seventeen years

cident on the InterOceanic Railroad took

BACKED BY THE MAYOR.
Chicago's Aldermen Have the Support
of John II. Hopkins.

Oh JOnn IL lODhlnS.
Chicago's big Sunday mass meeting was
called TO protest against the Ogden gas
ordinance and the Cosmopolitan electric
ordinance-two measures of which the
public never heard until they were rushed
through the Council recently, and which
were not then debated by that body but
were passed by the votes of thirty-eight
members, evenly divided politically. The
leaders of the Civic Federation, backed by
tens Of thousands of citizens, 'smellcd Il
job in them. Monday night Mayor Hop
kins approved the gas ordinance, and
made few trifiing amendments to the
electric ordinance; the latter was instant
ly passed as amended. by the original
thirty-eight votes reinforced by five. The
scenes in the Council chamber were as
founding. Opponents Of tho measure
were greeted with jeers and epithets, and
II crowd of citizens shouted, swore and
hurled invectives mt the Mayor rs he read
his message of approval Tuesday morn
ing every newspaper in the city joined in
bitter denunciation of the Mayor.

CITIZENS CRY HALT.
Monster Mass Meeting and an Over
flow Held in Chicago.

Public Indignation ut Chicago found a
voice in two monster mass meetings sun
day afternoon, called by the Civic Fed
Grafton. One meeting only had been call
cd, but so widespread was the Indignation
that Central Music Hall was large enough
for less than half the citizens. The Sec
ond Regiment armory was rented, anu
there the utterances Of protest went up az
loudly as they did at the parent meeting.
The cry that went up was one for reform
and for independence in local politics No
other sentiment was thought of or given
n hearing at either OF the meetings. Every
time any of the speakers made an appeal
along these lines he was sure of hearty
applause The stronger his denunciation
the better he pleased his hearers. People
seemed TO forget all ideas of Sunday be-
havior. They arose in their seats when
they were particularly well pleased, and
yelled to the speaker: Hit EN- again" 1t
was not meeting fruitless in its action.
While Il set of resolutions was adopted
men were appointed TO see that its pro-
visions were CARED out.

Mexican Farms Are Dry.

The State Department has Il report
from the consul ut Paso del Nortc, Mex
leo, that the farmers in that vicinity are
complaining of scarcity of water for
irrigation, and are begging the Govern
ment of Mexico TO present claims against
the United States because almost all the
water OF the Rio Grande is used by the
people Of Colorado and New Mexico. In
the opinion of the consul, the question
might be settled by promptly acting on
President Cleveland's suggestion of u
commission 20 construct n reservoir above
Paso del Norte for the storage of water.
He thinks in this way alone can the Unit
cd States avert an imbroglio over claims
presented by MeXicans.
