NOT SO HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

The idea of being able to invent something
strikes most people as being very difficult; this
delusion the Company wishes to dispel II is
the simple things and small inventions that
make the greatest amount of money and the
complex ones are seldom profitable. Almost
every body, at sometime or another, conceives
an idea, which, if patented, would probably be
worth to him fortune. Unfortunately such
ideas are usually dismissed without thought
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back, the sauee
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 will be paid at the end of
each month. whether the application has been
acted upon by the Patent Office or not Every
competitor must apply for patent on his in
vention through us, and whether he secures
the prize or not, the inventor will have yalu-

but when he offered to outdo the
feats Of the mysterious Abu Syb, the
audience became interested, and at
his request and during his Temporal
ry absence from the room, one of the
guests hid diamond ring. Mr..
Porter selected two gentlemen and
leaned heavily upon them, and di-
rected that Miss Daisy Vonderplunk
(the charming daughter of the fair
hostess) should stand facing him.
After remaining perfectly rigid for
an instant, Mr.. Porter was observed
to lurch suddenly from right to left
as if under a powerful magnetic
spell, and was rapidly approaching
the buffet (wlereon the ring had
been hidden) when in some unac-
countable manner his foot slipped,
and he fell forward, striking his
head violently against the arm of
chair. Mr.. Porter was rendered un-
cons cious from the force of the blow.
Medical aid was at once summoned
and the talented gentleman remov-

Especial to The HERALD

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Dur
ing the recess of the House, Frank
Cannon has not been idle. He has
been endeavoring to smooth the way
for the statehood proclamation. While
his efforts will not move the admins
tration one way or the other, he VIII
show great activity. This morning he
called on Cleveland for the purpose Of
inquiring about the proclamation.
st am satisfied" he said, that there
will be no trouble, and that the pro-
clamation will be issued as soon as
the returns come and are properly in
spected When the messenger arrives
with the certificate of returns, we will
call on the president again.
Curiously enough, since Frank has
been here the impression has gone
abroad among congressman and cor
respondents that he has a lead-pipe
cinch on the senatorship.
Western Backbone.
Senatorial courtesy has received a
rude shock. Old traditions have been
trampled under foot. At last western
senators have developed the existence
of a backbone, and have made stand
for their rights. The caucus of the
committee on committees was very sat-
isfactory.
This is victory for u.s." said Sen
ator Clark, of Wyoming. In making
the chairman of the caucus submit
his appointments to the caucus for
approval we have overturned one of
the Oldest traditions of the Senate.
Western men have not received proper
treatment in the past. Now we are
determined to have fair play. We must
be willing to give and take, but we
shall insist on proper representation
on committees
Senator Warren said today: 81 con-
slider this action very important
Western men have taken stand for
fairness. We will stand firm. In Or
der to reorganize the finance commit
tee, it may be necessary to increase
the number and give the gold men an
equal representation with the silver
men. But we will not give them a ma
jority. l think the western senators
will stand well together this year.
Pulling Wires.
Fred Dubois is pulling wires for
good committee positions. Shoup, also,
is working on that line but Dubois is
a better wire-puller. Warren will pro-
badly secure some good committee, be-
ing given preference to Clark.
Carter, of Montana, is also being put
forward vigorously. There will be a
very interesting contest among west
ern men for the craftsmanship of the
committee on Indian affairs Some
western men will look out for reser-
vations for the two senators from Utah
on rather unimportant committees.

A COVETED ISLAND.
REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OLA
PLACER MINER.
Alone For Days and Without Food.
He Finally Becomes Insane,
Plunges Into the River and Lucl-
lily Reaches the Shore.
Special to The Hera1d.N

BOISE, Ida, Dec. 5.-Parties in from
Snake River tell of the remarkable ex-
perience of Scotty Burnham, a placer
miner. Scotty was DESTROYS of ex-
aiming an island in the middle of the
river, but the water was exceedingly
treacherous around the island, and he
put it off for some time. Finally, he
made a bold resolution to reach the
coveted ground, which he believed to
be very rich. He started for the island
in a small boat, and after hard work
succeeded in reaching the island, but
as he jumped out of the boat, he fell
and the boat was kicked backwards
into the current, and went floating
away with all of Scotty's blankets and
provisions. He built fire and waited
expecting some one to come along on
the bank of the river, but he waited i'm
vain. He killed some birds with rocks
and ate them almost raw How he
lived through the bitter cold nights he
himself does not know, for he became
crazed. For days he remained on the
island, and then rushing wildly into
the river, succeeded in swimming to
the shore, over a hundred yards,
through whirling rapids that he be-
Heved no human being could live in for
a minute. His madness led him to
the act which saved his life. He is
now in fair way to recovery, but it
will be some time before he will be
able to completely throw off the effects
of his Crusoe-like experience,

GRIM-VlSAGED WAR
THREATENED BETWEEN AMERICA
AND GREAT BRITAIN.
1T Can Be Avoided Only BY Surren-
der on the Part of EngIand-Lord
Salisbury Raises IL New Case
Congress Has u Job on Its Hands,

CHICAGO, Dec. "a special to the
Times-H Herald from it's Washington
correspondent says:
War between the United States and
Great Britain is threatened. 1t can be
avoided only by surrender on the part
of England. The contention over the
Monroe doctrine has reached a stage
on both sides of the Atlantic until the
facts become known. If the American
Congress will support the president,
and of this there can be no doubt,
Great Britain will soon he given the
choice Of surrendering or fighting.
Upon authority which cannot be
questioned, reads the dispatch, it is
known that this government has re-
ceiYed a cablegram from Ambassador
Bayard giving briefly the contents of
the note which the Marquis of Sails
bury has mailed in reply to Secretary
Olney's dispatch of last July. This re-
ply is in substance a refusal ito arbi-
trate any of the territory eastward of
the Shomberg line.
Moreover Lord Salisbury raises a
new case. He now contends that the
Schomfberg line was not arbitrarily
run; that it was in fact located upon
authentic data, and that it can be
proved by the records, the treaty
descriptions and the maps that it cor
rectly represents the western limits of
the territory which Great Britain ac-
quired by cessions from Holland
Receipt of this information caused
some excitement in the Washington
government. Secretary Olney at once
proceeded to confer with the president
about it. This opinion was that the
British premier was trif1ing with the
merits of the question; that ne was
attempting to evade and delay direct
response to the principal issue involved
and to bring on a controversy between
the two governments as to historical
records and Typographical facts. Such
controversy. the president and secre-
tary agreed, if once entered upon,
might run an indefinite length.
The programme which the president
and the secretary now have in mind
is, first to ascertain the wishes of Ven
ezuela in the premises. If Venezuela
is willing to arbitrate on the Schom-
berg line, then the mission of the
United States is for the time being at
an end. Venezuela has repeatedly re-
fused this and it is not expected she
will give in now. Once being assured
of Venezuela's unwillingness to SUBJ
NIT to England's pretension, the presi-
dent will refer the whole matter to
Congress at an early day for such ac-
ton as that body may see fit to take
The correspondence will be accompan-
led by message from the president
explaining the situation, but probably
containing no recommendations
Congress, as the only war-making
power, will be left to its own determi-
nation, uninf1uenced save by facts.
When this moment arrives, the execu-
tive will have exhausted his resources.
The future course of the contention
will rest with the national legislature
1t is expected, however, that Congress
will at once authorize the president to
issue an ultimatum that will cause
England to back down or fight.

Mr.. Whittemore could not be found
last evening by a reporter for this pa
per. Judge Varian was discovered,
however, although he had not a. great
deal to say. What he wanted to know
most was whether the firm included
Hayken in it's assets, and if so, at
what figure was he valued. That was
the extent of Judge Variants converse
ton.
Several of the warrants which were
issued by the old county court to the
Andrews company are held, or were
held, by local parties. Auerbach q
Bro. bought one for $4,000. the sale
of the same being negotiated by H. v.
Meloy, as he explained at the time of
the publication of the letters which
appeared here. Some were taken by
the Commercial National bank, but in
just what amounts could not be ascer-
tanned last evening, the bank having
closed when the announcement of the
failure was made. In addition to these,
other and smaller warrants in payment
of the same obligations are held by
other parties
The news of the failure created pro-

stated that during the dull times
which have prevailed it fell off a

a recent visit, that it would not last
long. If this be true he must have
known what he was talking about.

She Will Not Surrender Criminal
Russell.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Belgium
has refused to surrender Harry Rus
sell, the pestoffice robber and Ludlow
street jail-breaker, to the United States
authorities and that notorious criminal
will in all proba bility never undergo
trial in this country for his crimes.
Belgium's answer to Secretary Olney's
request is to the effect that, while re-
GREETING it's inability to do so, the Bel
glan government cannot permit the eX
tradition of a fugitive from justice, I'M
less his crime is among those men
toned in the extradition treaty between
it and the United States. Before max
ing the request Secretary Olney asked
the advice of the encouragement as
to whether or not he could properly
ask for Russell's extradition. An opin-
ion delivered by that official was to the
effect that the crime of postoffice rob-
berry. with which Russell was charged,
could not be regarded as within the list
of crimes held by the treaty to be ex-
traditable, and he advised against the
preference of any request. This opin-
ion was concurred in by the law OIL
GERS of the state department. Not
WFtnStandlng tnlS weight or ADVICE,
however, Secretary Olney determined
to make an attempt to secure the fu-
gitive.
All the state department can now do
will be to instruct the American min
lister to watch Russell closely. if he
escapes imprisonment as a result of his
alleged crime in Belgium. Should he
leave that country the government I'M
der whose jurisdiction he is will be
asked to detain him. The department
has instructed its representatives
abroad to keep sharp lookout for
