Washington, Feb. 15.-The cOnsldera-

nifty for the revival OF the attacks upon
Secretary Morton begun by Senator
Vest In the other branch of Congress
for refusing to execute the purpose of
Congress to distribute seeds among tho
farmers of the country. The bittercst
speeches We're MAIDS by Messrs. Moses
and Livingston. of Georgia. and Boat
ner, of louisiana MeSSrS. Livingston
and Boatner included Comptroller Bow
Ter in their Scathing denunciatlons, and
Insisted that the time had come when 1t
was necessary that the relations be-
tween the lcgiSlat tive and executive de-
partmcnts of the Government sAould
be definitely ana finally settled. Mr..
Livingston said he was willing that
the Legislative branch should be- reQuir-
cd To attend to its, and he wanted the
executive branch learn to attend To its
business Before the bill was taken up
the Judiciary Committees substitute
for MIR. Boatnar's resolution regarding
the refusal OF Comptroller Bowler to
certify the sugar bounty claims for pay
mcnt was adopted. 1t adds:

liner Patent,

Washington, Feb. 15.-Daniel Draw
baugh and his representatives were be-
fore the SeLate Committee on Patents
advocating the passage of Il bill that
will enable him TO go before the Patent
office and prosecute claim for a teie-
phone latent from which he has been
debarred by reason of the finding of
the patent office that his invention was
in use for more than twenty years before
his application was filed. Drawbaugh
contends that IL was only in use as an
experiment at n fair, and not CONNER
cially as required by the law. His alieg-
ed invention Is similar to those upon
which the Berliner patents ere based.
