SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The new
Board of Supervisors appointed at )
o'clock this morning by Governor Budd
and Mayor Phelan stole a march upon
the old board and was sworn in, met
and adjourned before the deposed
board could get together. One of the
appointees, J. H. Barry declined to
accept the appointment, but no action
was taken in the premises, and after
the fling of a certified copy of the de-
cree of Judge Wallace and the Gre
dentials of the newly appointed Su-
pervisors, Clerk Russell recognized the
board, and carried the minutes into the
chamber.
Mayor Phelan announced from the
chair that by virtue of the power vest
ed in him by the State law and Gov
ernor Budd by virtue of the State
Constitution had appointed the MEM
bers present to fill the vacancies Gre
ated by Judge Wallace's decision, and
that body thereupon proceeded to
transact the official business.
After the appointment of various
committees had been left to the Mayor

tention of proceeding to transact pub
lie business.

his official capacity Clerk Russell po-
litelv but firmly refused TO rec0gniZa
them. Supervisor Devaney thereupon
took possession of a number of COM
municatiOns and other records, and
carried them off to the Street Commit
tees room, where that body went into
session. It soon adjourned until 2 p.
m, however. and the members of the
old board then proceeded Informally to

THREE DEATHS RESULTED.
Fatal Railway Collision Near Ba-
salt. Colorado.

LEADVILLE (Col), Sept. 16.-Three
section men were killed and another
fatally hurt in collision at 10 o'clock
this morning between a Midland pas
senger engine and hand-car. The ac-
cident occurred near Basalt, fifty miles
west of Leadville.
Foreman Lyons and four men had
finished some work five miles east of
Basalt, and started for that place on
the hand-car. The east-bound passen-
ger was due about that time, but as
it had been late several times it was
decided to rush through. The hand
car was going around curve at high
rate of speed, when it encountered the
passenger. Two men jumped, while the
other three were caught by the engine
and killed. James Cody is probably
fatally injured.
Dead: Thomas Lucas, Michael Welsh,
John Lyons.

DISHEARTENED
GOLD SEEKERS.
The Steamer FaralIOn Arrives From
Skaguay and Dyea.
She Brings Back Thirty Passengers Who
Started for the KIOndike.
They Gave Up the Attempt to
Reach the Fields This Winter
Scarcity of Boats at Lake BEN
nett, and They Bring Very
High Prices.

SEATTLE, Sept 16.-The steamer
Farallon arrived this morning from
Skaguay and Dyea, with thirty passen-
gers, WhO have given up the attempt
to reach the Yukon gold fields this
winter.
c. l.. Shaw, representing an English
syndicate, accompanied by a party of
seven, took passage on the Farallon
from Fort Wrangle, and are in Seattle.
He has been prospecting the divide be-
tween Cassiar and the headwaters of
the Yukon emptying into Teslin Lake
He reports the existence of large quartz
ledges of the same grades as the Tread
well, but it cannot be worked with
profit on account of not being able to
get machinery.
Mr.. Shaw says that these difficulties
will be overcome by the construction of
the Cassiar Central Railway and Lake
Teslin Railway, which is now being
surveyed by the Canadian Government
on Stickeen River.
Shaw believes that Fort WrangIe will
be the point of departure for all goods
and machinery that will be sent into
that part of the country. He intends
sending in an outfit of twenty men via
Wrangle, Stickeen River and Teslin
Lake next spring with instructions to
prospect the more remote districts of
the headWaters of the Yukon imme-
diately adjacent to the old Cassiar gold
diggings.
The placers on this divide undoubted-
lyhave derived their quartz reefs in the
immediate vicinity, as Shaw has in his
possession a quantity of placer gold
which is quite unworn and full of
quartz.
The purser of the Farallon says there
is a scarcity Of boats at Lake Bennett
and that they are bringing upward of
$500 each. None of the returning min
ers had heard anything of the reported
lynching of alleged thieves on the
Skaglay trail by vigilants

STORE BLOWN UP.
Striking Coal Miners Are Blamed
for the Act

DENVER, Sept. 16.-A special to the
Republican" from Santa Fe, n. NJ,
says:
A telegram from Ration, received here
this afternoon states that the company
store at Blossburg, owned by the Ration
Coal and Coke Company, was blown up
by gunpowder night before last. The
building and contents were destroyed,
but were fully insured.
Coal miners are accused of the act.
Trouble has been brewing for weeks
between the company and the miners,
$50 in number. Last month the min
ers who rent the company tenements
and deal with the company store are
said to have had but three and one-half
days of work, receiving 60 cents per
ton for mining coal. A few days ago
they were notified that they might re-
sumo work at a cut of 20 per cent.
They refused this, and walked out.

PROTECTION OF PATENTS.
Amendments to be Offered to the
Present Treaties.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1G-Commis-
sioner Butterworth and Assistant Com
missioner Greeley of the Patent Office
are engaged in putting in shape
amendments to be offered to the trea-
ties existing among the leading ma
tions OF the world "for the protection
of industrial property"
A meeting of the representatives of
the nations has been called to con-
vene in Brussels in next December, and
it is the purpose of the conference to
secure, if possible, certain modifica-
tions Of the present agreements. The
convention was entered upon for the
purpose of protecting patents. trade
marks and other similar interests.
Article 2 Of the treaty is one which
this country will seek to have changed.
AS the article stands, it provides that
the citizens of each of the contracting
State shall enjoy in all the 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 taking out
patents abroad entirely out of proper
ton to the tax upon foreigners making
out patents in this country. The inten-
ton is now to ask for a reciprocal ar
fange1nent, which VIII provide that
American patents may be issued to cit
izens of the countries on the same con-
ditions as 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 800, while
the uniform rate in this country is $50.
The effort will be to amend that treaty
theirs to US.
There viii also be an effort to re-
strict 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 a patent may be OBJ
tanned for a chemical process, but not
suits very disastrously to our interests,
enabling German manufacturers in
some interests to control our markets.
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.
