delegation to start with, but unless he
develops unexpected strength in the
convention he can't hold the votes long.
On leaving him the delegation will

too busy with their crops just now to

once strong silver man, has changed
his views, as some claim, he has not
taken the public into his confidence.
That's why there is so much talk. His
enemies say that he is lodging the

Mills to say that his record is not that

Washington Letter

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 18th, 1895
The increasing probability of an early
war between Russia and Japan has re-
vived interest in an episode of the late
war between China and Japan, which
would have brought about state Of
affairs which might have proven very
unpleasant to Japan had that war lasted
justa little longer. That would have been
a war with the United States; and If
Japan continues to be Of the same mind
she ls bound to have trouble with the
United States if she has war with Rus
STA or any other country. Overlooking
the fact that the United States fought
a war with much more powerful nation
about that same thing, Japan claimed
and still claims the right in time of
war to search American vessels and to
take therefrom any enemy found. This
claim came dangerously near the shoot
ing point just before the treaty of peace
was signed between China and Japan.
In fact if that document had been de-
laved 4S hours there would haye been
fight, although that Was not known
at the time. Admiral Carpenter had
signifed hisintention to escort an Amer
lean merchant steamship to prevent her
detention at a japanese port, and the
Japanese authorities had issued orders
directing the commandants of the forts
at the mouth of their harbor to fire upon
the American vessels If that intention
was carried out. Those who know
Admiral Carpenter need not be told
what would have happened had he been
fired upon. He would have given those
Japs something they failed to get from
CHINA taste Of real fighting; and the
result would have been another war
If Japan doesn't recede from her ride.
ulous claim, that war is merely post
poned for a time, it will be bound to
come, as the right Of search is one that
Uncle Sam will never concede to any
nation as long as he has man to resist
it.

Prizes on Patents.
How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to US the most meritorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorders weekly newspaper, pub
ished in Washington, D. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States and is devoted to the interests Of in
ventors.
Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel
1t is the simple things and small Inventions
that make the greatest amount OF money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor-
tunatey such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple Invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for n patent on
his invention through us, and whether he Sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor will hav
a valuable patent.
