VALUABLE INVENTION
Lost to the Commercial World by the
Death of the Inventor.

Lost to the Commercial World by the
Death of the Inventor.
New YORK, Aug. IA special to the
World from New Haven, Ct, says:
With the recent death at Naugatuck
of Herbert E. Fowler, there has been
lost the secret of an invention that
promised to be of great value to the
commercial world. 1t was a process
for making an electrical deposit of
copper from a solution upon wood or
any other rigid or semi-rigid sub
stance. This process was made pos
sible by coating the substance that
was to be copper plated with
liquid preparation, the secret of
which was known only to Mr.. Fowler.
Every means had been used to induce
him to patent the invention, but he
declined, fearing he might lose the
use of it.
A Chicago company was recently
formed which offered to take up man
ufacturing with the copper deposit
extensively, but conditioned their
offer upon the patenting of the inven-
ton. Their proposition was sent to
Mr.. Fowler, but before an agreement
had been reached the inventor died.

Wheat Blockade Threatened.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. THE I'M
usually heavy receipts of wheat from
the west threaten possible blockade
at this point. Friday night there were
1.S00 cars loaded with wheat on side
tracks in Kansas City. About half of
these cars are billed through to Calves
ton, and the Gulf roads are said to be
unable to move the product as fast as it
comes in from the west. Grain is COM
ing in, too, far beyond the capacity of
the Kansas City elevators, and the in
dications are that the accumulation
here will become greater.

The Vehicle Tax Declared Void.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Judge Tuley Sat
urday decided the new city ordinance
establishing vehicle tax to be void.
The ordinance permitted the city to
collect 81 year license from each bicy-
Gle owner and for other vehicles pro-

permanent street repairing fund. The
new law aroused much opposition and
especially among wholesale men. In

Be Made Acquainted With the Text of the
New Tariff Law.
WASHINGTON, Aug. THE state de-
partment has sent instructions to the
United States ambassadors and minis
tiers abroad accredited to countries
with which we have trade relations
that would be affected by the enact
ment of the Dingley tariff act, direct
ing them to communicate to the foreign
offices in their respective posts the text
of the act and to call attention to
the sections of the new tar
iff which provide for retaliation,
reciprocity and similar arrangements
This is done in order that there may be
a proper basis for the institution OF
negotiations looking to the consumma-
ton of some of the reciprocal agree
ments contemplated in the Dingley act.
The ground. to be covered by the state
department in these negotiations
will be difficult to traverse, ow-
ing to the completely OF
the subjects to be treated of,
existing in various countries with
which we must have to do, yet there
can not be any delay in undertaking
the task inaSmuch as congress has in
terms enjoined the beginning of the
negotiations las soon as may be after
the passage of this act" So far, it is
said no formal responses to our adj
vances have been made. but from GER
tain news items that come from Europe
it is perceived that such OvertureS may
be expected at any moment

J. Hamilton Lewis, of the state of

The treasury officials are inclined to
doubt the accuracy of this report, but
have taken means to ascertain the
facts. If however it should be found
to be true, the action of the depart
ment in establishing a branch custom
house at Dyea may be reconsidered and
steps taken to protect the rights of
miners in the premises.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE navy de-
partment Friday directed the prelimin-
airy acceptance of the gunbOats Mar
ietta and Wheeling, built by the Union
iron works at San Francisco. There
had been some question as to the ac-
ceptance of these boats owing to the
fact that the machinery was over
weight, in which case the contract pro-
vided for deductions from the price to
be paid. 1t was shown, however, by
an engineer examination, that the ad-
ditional weight was attributable to
changes in plans that benefited the
machinery and added to the speed of
the boats, so no deductions were made.

COL. AGUlRA
Thinks the Assassination of CanOvas Will
Result in the Establishment of the Repub-
lie of SDain.

lie of Spain.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Col. A. A.
Aguira, who is stopping in Washing
ton, said Sunday night:
The assassination of Canovas will re-
suit in the dethrOnement of the Span
ish monarchy and the freedom of Cuba.
The people of Spain are ripe for a rev.
olutiOn, being disconnected over the
high taxation, which grinds them down
to poverty, and in some cases to starva-
ton. This is the beginning of the rev.
dictionary movement, and is connected
with the recent attempt on the life of
the queen.
There is great dissatisfaction over
the result of the war in Cuba and to
remove CaEovas was the object of well
laid plans. He was the supporter of
Weyler, who was sent to Cuba by him
and kept there by him. The two
divided the spoils of Cuba and of
Spain. | am certain that CanOvaS will
be succeeded by Sagasta, his political
rival and leader of the liberal party.
Sagasta will undoubtedly take imme-
date steps to cOnciliate the Cubans by
granting them reforms but it will be
too late. | expect to see Cuba free
within 90 days, and the republic of
Spain established soon afterwards.

A physician living near the scene of

her to go through the narrow south
