pened to get one of the best claims He
came back this summer with $112.0e0 He
has seven claims in all, and does not hest
tate to say that they will yield $1,000, 900
1t is conceded that they are worth several
millions. though not such an enormous
sum. Other Seattle men have returned or
sent out, large sums, smaller than these
two All the surroundings combine to
make these placers the greatest ever found
in this country. Even the winter will not
prevent work on those already developed
as tunnels are dug under ground and the
dirt thrown out, ready for washing in the
summer. No prospecting can he done ex-
cept in the summer. That will limit the
expansion of the districts. Many years
will elapse before all the gold is found. The
gold-bearing district is as large as all of
the United States east of the Mississippi
river.
MANY predict that a hundred thousand
people will go up next year. If so, Seattle
is all right, and We will get onto our feet
again.

oincias Of the State Department admit
that there Is no reason to doubt the report
from Honolulu. published in yesterdays
star, that Minister Hatch hurried from
washington to Hawaii with the special pur-
pose or securing favorable action on the an
hexation treaty by the Hawaiian govern
ment In advance of action by the United
states Senate. There is no rule I'm liplo-
matte practice that would forbid Hawaii

execution OF the policy of President Nc
hlnley toward Hawaii, as laid down in his
message transmitting the treaty to Con-
gress last June, that the document shall be

Is not believed that the President has any
intention or calling special session for the
purpose or ratification. Indeed, considering
the TACT that If the Hawaiian legisl tture
acts with the greatest promptness upon the

FRUITS OF GENIUS.
The Number of Patents Issued the
Past Week.

PaSt week.
For the week ending Tuesday there were
443 patents and designs issued from the pat
ent Office to residents of the United States
and 81 to citizens of foreign countries.
New York headed the list with 10 patents
granted to residents of that state. Connec-
ticut followed with "a; Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, SO each; Ohio, 50; Illinois.
30; California II: New Jersey, II; Missouri,
IA; Indiana and Michigan, ID each; Kansas,
Il; Iowa, Texas and Wisconsin, IL each.
England led as far as the patents issued
to residents of foreign countries is con-
cerned, with 10; Canada had 8. Germany 6,
France and New Zealand each, Scotland
was represented by B. Belgium by the same
number, while Denmark, Hawaii and India
had two each. The Netherlands Russia
and Sweden had each one
There are not SO many patents issued in
the summer season as in the winter
months, the falling off being most marked
Another notable feature in the patent rec
ords is the great number of patents issued
to the northern and western states, accord
ing to population, as compared with the
southern.
According to the last report of the COM
missioner of patents the state Of Connect
cut led with one patent to every 753 popu-
lation. New York was second with one for
every Lob residents. the District of Column
bia, which is not a state, having one in
ventor for every ,123 population. In Mis-
sissippi there was q patent issued accord
ing to the report for every % ,43S popula-
ton. and in North Carolina for every 3D.
1!1 of population. In South Carolina the
comparison was still greater, there being
only one inventor for every 81 ,976 popula-
ticn.
In Georgia there was ere for every 1851
population, and one for every 13 $40 in Ar

JUDGE WILSON CONCLUDES.
Saw Nothing Misleading I'm Wedder
burn 4 Co.'S Letters.

saw NOth1nS M1Slea01Dg IN 7" CIDER
burn & Co.'s Letters.
After The Stars report in the Wedder-
burn investigation closed yesterday after
| noon, Judge Wilson spoke of the letters
written by wedderburn & Co. to clients in
forming them that their inventions were
valuable, and reading a sample of such let
ter, he said he could see nothing in them
that was misleading. The letter in ques-
ton said that the device, If patented and
properly handled, would prove valuable,
and it was, he said, sent out in twelve
cases.
AS Judge Wilson was about to close,
Commissioner Butterworth asked him IL he
would, before concluding his argument
make any comment he desired on the scope
Of the power of the commissioner to disbar
an attorney from practice before the United
States patent office.
Judge Wilson said he considered the posi-
ton of the commissioner as that of Judge
Of a court. That judge would have to be
governed solely by the charges against the
attorney.
The commissioner wanted to know IL
Judge Wilson thought he (the commission
err could make up his mind from any rea-
son beyond such as would be recognized
according to the strict rulec of evidence In
the courts. As he had not the power of the
judge to compel attendance of witnesses,
ETC., the commissioner wanted to know
whether Judge Wilson thought he should be
guided by the strict rules of court.
Judge Wilson thought that the rules of
court should be the guide of the commits
sioner.
In concluding, Judge Wilson spoke of the
large business of Wedderburn & Co., and
built up through newspaper advertising.
Since January 1. 1897, he said. Mr.. Wedder-
burns business had been conducted in a
manner that would compare with the busi-
ness of any other attorney. He dwelt with
great force upon this point. He concluded
his remarks with an appeal to the COM
missioner that he should exercise care to do
no man harm

HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.
Slight Increase Over Last Week in
Number of Deaths.

The deaths as recorded at the health de-
partment during the past week numbered
10l. as against 81 In the week previous, of
which 80 were white and 81 colored The
annual death rates were therefore 1871 for
the former and 3O.1 for the latter, and for
the whole population 1870 per thousand in
habitants. OF the zymotic class there were
fatal cases of whooping cough Of ty-
phoid fever and 2 of diphtheria. or dis
eases of the nervous system there were IA
deaths; of the circulatory organs, deaths,
and Of the kidneys. 5 deaths. Mortality

campaign. The division of the republicans
into the Lamb and anti-Lamb factions, it
is thought, will weaken their ranks to a
considerable extent. Col. LAMB, the de-
posed ex-chairman, it is understood. was
determined to call convention to nominate
state ticket. He has received letters
from a good many republicans who have
not been supporting him heretofore APP
proving of his course. and pledging their
support to the convention scheme II is
understood the convention will be held in
Lynchbufg
Allan, Waddill, Agnew and others are cp-
posed to the convention scheme, and will
work against 1t. This makes the situation
in the republican camp interesting, and the
result of the fight between the ex-chair-
man and his supporters on the one side and
the new chairman and anti-conventionists
on the other is watched by the leaders of
the other two parties with more than ordi-
nary interest.
