Nashville, June 23.-General Johr

NasuVliie, June 23.-General JOhn
B. Gordon was today unanimously re-
elected general commander of the
United Confederate Veterans.
When the United Confederate Vet
Grams assembled in the tabernacle this
morning business meeting was
called to order by Gen. John b. Cor
don. Prayer was offered by Rev. d.
G. Kelly, of Columbia, Tenn. The re-
port of the committee on history was
presented and referred. General Cor
don then delivered his address, pre-
facing it with the announcement of
his intention to. resign as general
commanding. There were cries of
mo, no." from all over the hall, and
when quiet had been restored General
Gordon proceeded with his address.
General Gordon spoke to the veter-
ans about an hour. During the course
of his speech, which was a mastery
one, he said:
''Mr. President and Comrades, the
prOudest hour in my own pu die life
was that in which [ was able to pledge
to the disturbed cOmmunitie es of the
n - h F6o- rr-,S-----.-
arms of the South for the enforcement
of law and order. 1t was in that
dreadful hour when your sister city of
the West was threatened with riot,
torch and blood; when mOb-vielence
ruled in her streets; when laws were
trampled and civil authority defied;
when flames were spreading amidst
her dwellings; when panic and dis
may filled ChicagO's homes, and when
no man could predict the next scene
in the drama it was in that hour and
on the floor of the senate that [ was
able to pledge Southern sympathy
and aid, and to declare that no men in
this Union were more loyal to law and
to public liberty as conserved by law {;
none more ready to defend the au-
thority of the general government, its
government, its honor, its flag. and
Its freedom, than the heroic remnants
of those immortal armies which fol-
lowed Lee and Jackson, the John
srons, Bragg, and Hood, or job
Stuart and Bedford Forrest, till the
Confederacy fell before the resistless
storms"
When General Gordon had con-
cluded his address, the motion that
General Joe Wheeler be requested to
nominate General Gordon for re-elec-
ton was made and carried. General
Stephen d. Lee, who had been called
to the chair, declared the nominate ons
closed, and General Gordon was unan.
imOusly elected. The delegates pres
ent cheered and waved their hats and
handkerchiefs, and the scene was a
most impressive one. The committee
ON credentials reported 1000 delegates
present and 1000 camps represented.

Atlanta, June % Investigation of
the affairs of the Sewanee Improve
ment Co., which has been placed in
the hands of Gen, Henry r. Jackson

ating Expenses.

be required to teach one of these
grades. The distinction between tina
HIgh and Grammar Schools will be
practically abolished, buC there will
still bs graduating class. Prof.
James I. CalsOn's position is changed
from that of principal of the Gram

animation for places before County

Tuesday. From these the staff of
teachers was elected yesterday.
The plan first proposed to the Board
called for reduction of the staff of
teachers in the white schools from
fourteen to nine. MIR. j. L. Beach
urged that there was need of one
more teacher, and personally guaran-
teed the payment of the salary. The
num5er was therefore Utf1anged TO TO tetsA tetsAA.

International Patent Union, with head
quarters in Switzerland, and is being trans
lated by the patent office for use in the
Gazette. 1t is expected that the broadcast
circulation of this information in this coun-
try will do much to prevent many in
ventors from being imposed upon by be-
ing induced to take cut foreign patents
under misrepresentation as to their value.
1t has become the practice of a number of
patent attorneys to send out circulars
weekly to eTery inventor to whom patent
is granted, Offering to take out the patent
in foreign countries, saying nothing about
the value of such a patent when granted
or the conditions under which it is granted.
The fact is that In nearly every country
of Europe search is made when patent
is granted. The patent they give amounts
to no more than a registration of the de-
vice, the validity of which is to be deter
mined in the courts when called in Ques-
ton, aid the patent does not hold if ii can
be shown that it had been made public
prior to the registration. Every patent
granted by the United States reaches every
European country within ten days, and
that fact makes invalid any patent which
the particular country may issue.
Not only is this the case but in some
countries there is an annual tax levied on
a patent, and in case the inventor fails to
pay it the patent becomes invalid. In
Austria, for instance, it costs but s. to file
a patent, but to keep it alive for the term
of fifteen years costs about 5000, which is
the aggregate Of the annual tax levied in
that Period.
The fact that when the United States
grants a patent it is good for seventeen
years misleads many inventors when they
seek to get out foreign patents, and it is
said many foreign Iatents when valid fail
because the inventor does not know it is
necessary for him to pay an annual tax on
it.
Assistant Commissioner of Patents
Greeley proposes to give careful attention
to the practice of attorneys who urge
clients to take ont foreign patents when
they do or should know they will be alb
solutely worthless The action of the office
in the case of Wedderburn & Co. does not
conclude the efforts of the patent Office
in the investigation of the practices Of at
torneys dealing with that Office. 1t is not
unlikely that other cases will be called up
for Investigation in the near future.

FASTENING THE WORK,
Survey of Washington and Chesa-
peake Railroad Under Way,


The work of surveying the route Of the
Washington and Chesapeake railroad is
being actively pushed forward Maj. H. l..
Hyer and corps of surveyors are en-
camped near Forestville. They are running
new lines and contracting for rights of
way.
The road is projected to run from this
city to Chesapeake Beach, which is two
miles below Fair Haven and about twenty
seven miles from this city. 1t is asserted
by the promoters of the concern that this
distance can be covered in thirty-fiye min
utes.
The route lies through a section of south
ern Maryland practically destitute of rail-
road facilities, and for many years the
residents in that portion OF the state have
striven to have the road built At the
Maryland terminus of the line extensive inn
provements are contemplated, among them
the construction of a large hotel on the
beach, with numerous cottages along the
bay side. A wharf is now being built,
whence, according to the plan steamers
Will run to Baltimore and Claiborne
The road was begun many years ago. but
work continued but a short time, since
which time it has laid dormant Lately the
first company's rights and franchises were
bought by Messrs. ID. III. Moffett, John L.
McNeal of Denver, Col; Otto MeaIs VIM

The steel rails have already been fur
nfshed, and those in charge of the project
