Butte Miner: He was l1ackman, and
being in a somewhat communicative mood
as he stood on the corner, was not averse
to giving an experience or two concern

the track in, the plebian horse car being
for the once discarded as not being in

wealth.
"Oh yes" said the man who handles
the ribbons. 1--WE seen a good many Illus

II remember one day a blacksmith wilo

He met some friend there, and went

The cattle ranges in Colorado never

and there is enough grass in the

range cattle are rolling fat, and ranch
men are correspondingly happy, the
more so in view of the fact that beef
is bringing a higher price this season
than it has for years.

PATENT TREATIES.
Important International Arrange
ments Now Being Considered.


ments Now Being Considered.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16,-Commissioner
Butterworth and Assistant Commits
sioner Greeley of the patent office are
engaged in putting in shape amend
ments to be offered to the treaties ex-
listing among the leading nations Of
the world "for the protection of indus
trial property" A meeting of the rep
resentatives of these nations has been
called to convene in Brussels next De-
cember and it is the purpose Of this
country to secure if possible certain
notifications of the present agree
ments. The convention was entered
upon for the purpose OF protecting pat
ents, trademarks and other similar in
terests. Article 2 of the treaty IS one
which this country will seek to have
changed AS the article stands it pro-
yides that the citizens of each of the
contracting states shall enjoy in all the
other states the same advantages that
are given to the citizens of those states.
1t has been found that this provision
works a hardship upon our people TAX
ing out patents abroad entirely out OF
proportion TO the tax upon foreigners
taking out patents in this country. Inc
intention is now to ask for reciprocal
arrangement which Will provide that
American patents may be issued to cit
liens of other countries on the same
conditions in other respects as they are
issued to American citizens. In some
countries to become the owner of a
patent right costs an American as we'll
as a citizen from $500 to $500, while the
uniform rate in this country is $35. The
effort will be to amend the treaty, max
ing our rates to them equal to theirs
to us.
There will also be an effort to restrict
the articles which are patentable in
this country SO that the subject Of
another country cannot patent an ar
ticle in the United States upon which
he cannot secure a patent in his own
country. This modification has been
suggested by the attitude of Germany.
In that country patent may be OBJ
tanned for a chemical process, but not
on the product. II is claimed this re-
suits very disastrously to our interests,
enabling German manufacturers in
some interests to control our market.
An amendment will also be suggested
on behalf of this country to article 4,
so as TO define more clearly the right
Of priority, putting inventors of this
country on the same footing with those
of other countries where patents are
granted, without the preliminary ex-
animation which our laws REQUIRE

Washington. Sept. 16.-United States
Consul Weiseke at Managua has been
earnestly at work to secure from the
Nicaraguan government a liberal con-
cession for the construction of an in
teroceanic railway in that country
which should place the capital, Mana
gua in direct communication by rail
with the Atlantic ports at Blue Fields

days the time required for communi-
cation with the United States. He has
addressed himself on this subject to
President Zelaya and to General Es-
panosia, pointing out the many advan-
tages to accrue to Nicaragua and the
United States by the construction Of
this railway. He did not ask the con-
cession for himself or his friends but
asked only that it be bestowed upon
United States citizens. The correspon-
dence on the subject which has reached
the. state department shows that both
President Zelaya and General Espano-

Washington, Sept. 16.-Secretary Bliss
today issued an order suspending from
entry and patent the lands coming
within the purview of the decision in
the case OF Spaulding VS.. the Northern
Pacific railroad. The order was made
on motion CT the Northern Pacific conf

of Portland, Or. In the Spaulding case
the supreme court held that the grant
to the Northern Pacific OF 1870 is, so far
as it overlaps the grant to the same
company in 1864, was void. In another
case the United States circuit court for
the western district Of Washington has
recently held that as the Northern Pa
cific company did not perfect it's first
grant it never secured any benefit from
it. The suspension is made in order to
allow this question to be finally passed
upon in the courts

COMING TO AMERICA.
The ousted President of Central
America Seeks Refuge Here.


San Francisco, Sept. 16.-Private ad-
vices received here today convey the
information that after two days of
hard fighting the garrison Of Barrios'
soldiers at QueZaltenango succumbed to
superior numbers and the revolutionists
are masters of the situation in Guate-
mala. This is understood here as
equivalent to the end of the career of
Reyno Barrios as dictator of the Cen
trail American republic. With the an
nouncement that BarTios has caused
himself to be elected president by his
congress, local merchants who have
large interests in. Guatemala stopped
payment on drafts on Guatenalan
houses, as 1t was generally understood
that trouble would ensue. Soon after
the dictator's action a revolution broke
out, headed by Daniel Fuentes, Feici-
ano Aguilar and Prospero Morales, all
of whom were candidates for the pres
idency.
According to the telegram received
here today; Morales was yesterday
chosen as chief of the rebel forces,
which is taken as Indicative that he
will be Guat en1aia's next president.
Barrios has few friends in Guatemala,
as he has carried things with a high
hand during his six years administra
ton. He gained the enmity of Morales
by relieving him of the position of min
lister of war merely, it is claimed, be-
cause. the latter was too popular.
Should he fall into the hands of the
rebel chief, it is generally believed that
he will be given a short shift. In view
of the fact that Barrios has chartered
a steamer from the Pacific Mail COM
pany which has been lying at San
Jose de Guatemala with steam up,
ready to put to sea at short notice, It
is thought that he will follow the ex-
ample of Ezeta of Salvador and leave
the enemy in undisputed possession be-
fore escape to the coast is shut off.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Affair as Seen by the Post-Dispatch
CORRESPONDENT

st. Louis, Sept. ia special to the
Post Dispatch from the City of Mexico
says an attempt was made this morn
ing to assassinate President Diaz by a
supposed Italian named Arroyo There
was a general review of troops in the
city today. Just before the review this
morning President Diaz, in company
with the minister of war, was passing
through public park. They were
quietly walking together when sud-
denly foreigner sprang from behind
a bush with a poinard in his hand and
made a lunge with. the weapon at the
president. The minister of war instantly
seized the assailant and struggled with
him, throwing him to the ground and
holding him there. Meanwhile the
struggle had attracted attention and
number of police came running to the
scene and placed the would-be assassin
under arrest. He sullenly refused to
divulge his object in making the at
tack. President Diaz was not injured
ATTACK ON THE PRESIDENT.
Today is the great national holiday
Of the country. the anniversary of the
declaration of independence, and the
streets were thronged with people The
attack on the president was made just
before the great military parade start
ed. Rumors of various kinds soon flew
around along the crowd and the excite
ment was intense. Definite details are
meager. The assailant is a middle aged
man with long, dark hair and a prom
inent nose. He looks something like
an Italian. The attack may be the re-
suit of the recent propaganda here
against all forms of anarchists The
ceremonies We're not interfered with.
The parade started on time, and was
reviewed by the president as planned
at the national palace. General Barri-
ozabal, prime minister of war, says that
the presidents assailant's name is Ar
royo.
THE PRESIDENT UNMOVED.
The president was walking, as is his
custom on Independence day, and was
between Minister Memo of communica-
lions and General Barriozabal. General
Memo grabbed the would-be assassin,
who was at once disarmed and handed
over to the police Excitement among
the foreign colonies is intense. AS this
dispatch is being sent $4,000 troops are
marching past the president who is
surrounded by his cabinet and unmoyed
by the daStardly attempt, and the peo-
pie are hurrahing for Mexico and Cen
eral Diaz. United States Minister Clay

A BEAUTIFUL Thought.

at a recent funeral service in Cleveland
says the Plain Dealer, where the floral
tributes of regard from sorrowlng friends
were unusually numerous, it occurred to
one of the women that beautiful way
of disD0Sing of the flowers would be to
pull the emblems apart so as to destroy
all suggestion of their funeral purpose
and then send the loose lunches to sew
eral OF the city hospitals.
That is what our dear one would her
self have suggested, she added.
And SO the idea was carried out every
fiower-and. they made a huge carriage
load--bearfng its message of sweetness
and purity to the longing eyes of the
sick and helDless.

Twelfth street in the central part of the

The lad was suffering from fever ana
his condition seemed so suspicious that
a, consultation of physicians was called
at a late hour last night. The physi-
