FEES FOR PATENTS.
Efforts to Modify the Practice of
Nations.

commissioner ButterT orth and Assistant
Commissioner Greeley of the patent Office
are engaged in putting in shape amend
ments to be offered 10 the treaty existing
among the leading nations of the world
Gfor the protection of industrial properly
a meeting of the representatives of these
nations has been called to convene in Brus-
sells next December, and it is the purpose
of this country to secure, if possible, GER
tain notifications of the present agree
ment.
/ The convention entered upon for the
purpose of protecting patents, trade marks
and other similar interests.
Article of the treaty is one which this
country Will seek TO have changed. AS the
article stands IL provides that the citizens
OF each of the contracting states Shall en-
joy in all the other states the same adj
Vantages that are given to the citizens OF
those stateA 1t has been found that this
provision works a hardship upon our pat
entees taking out patents abroad entirely
out OF proportion to the tax upon foreign
ers taking out patents in this country. The
intention now is to ask for a reciprocal
arrangement, which will provide that
while American patents may be issued to
cluZenS of other countries on the same con-
ditonS in other respects as they are issued
to American citizens, We may require the
outsiders to pay the same fees which their
countries require from our inventors. In
some countries to become the owner of a
patent right costs an American as well as
citizen from 500 to 800, while the uni
form rate in this country is $50. The eff
fort will be to amend the treaty making
our rates to them equal to theirs to US.
There will also be effort to restrict the
articles which are patentable in this coun-
try. so that the subject of another country
cannot patent an article in the United
States upon which he cannot secure pat
ent in his own country. This modifica ton
mas been suggested by the attitude of Ger
many. In that country a patent may be
obtained for a chemical process, bat not
On the product. 1t is claimed that this re-
suits very disastrously to our interests,
enabling German manufacturers in some
instances 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
and put inventors of this country on the
same footing as those of other countries
where patents are granted, without the
preliminary examination which our laws
REQUIRE.

that Capt. Carter should take charge of
the field party which was to go overland
across Nicaragua fer the purpose of veri-
flying the survey work accomplished by til.
ether army. eng.Eeer must be assigned to
this technical work.
Origin Of the Charges.
The investigation of Capt Carriers work
at Savannah is based upon representations
made to Gen. Wilson. chief OF engineers by
Capt. Gillette, the engineer officer who re-
Gently succeeded TO the charge of the river
and harbor works formerly in charge CT
Capt. Carter in Georgia. 1t is explained
that the appointment of engineer officers to
investigate the works in question was due
entirely TO the belief that they We're the
most competent persons TO determine the
character of the work performed as well
as TO determine whether the specifications
of the contracts had been violated and the
appropriations misapplied. In case ii is
shown that Capt. Carter has been guilty
of negligence, carelessress or anything
worse, such collision with the cor
tractors, he will he tried by a general
court-martial composed of senior officers
from all branches of the service, and rot
confined to the engineer department, as has
been intimated might be the case.
From October II. 1884. until last spring
when he was sent as military attache to
London, Capt. Carter has been engaged
in the river and barber works in Georgi /;
since April 81. 1883 he has been in charge
of the work. IN 1880 he presented his pro-
iect for the establishment of a channel
having depth Of twenty-six feet at mean
high water from Savannah to the sea, at
an estimated cost of So,5JD,09o. Congress
adopted the project, and in 1872 made tho
first appropriation. Subsequently other pro-
lects for improvements of Oyster bay and
for a channel between Savannah and Beau
fort, S. c.. were adopted and appropriations
were made in 1895 to carry out the work.

precedent established by most of his pre-
decessors. Capt. Barry and Mai Bliss
