ton for the Firing ON an Italian
Vessel by Turkish Fort.

Athens, March 5.--A statement made by
King George in the course of an interview
today probably forecasts the reply Greece
will make TO the identical notes of the pow
ers insisting upon the withdrawal of the
Greek fleet and troops from Crete within
six days from noon on Monday last, the
time the notes were delivered.
His majesty said: "The Greek nation is
unable to bear any longer the strain and
excitement caused by the constant chain OF
revolutions, and our finances viii not per
init us to support the refugees, who now
number about 1900. Nothing will prosper
In Greece until the question is definitely

question. because Cretans reject it and
have no faith in the promises OF the pow
ors. They prefer to die in defense rather
than be slaughtered like tho ArmenIsns

would be signal for new massacres on a
large scale, owing TO fierce fanatic Mus
sulmans. who see they have the support OF
the six great powers.'
The Greek premier says the Greek troops
sill not he withdrawn from Crete, and Is
said To have expressed fear that national
clamor would compel the government to In
wade Turkey. The premier added that
Greece would prefer TO disappear from tn,
map rather than withdraw her forces frcu
Crete in the fpce OF threats.

THE PATENT TREATY.
Modification Of Existing Agreement Is WhaI
We Are Seeking After.

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 treaty 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
ment
The conviction was 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, it provides 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 patentees
taking out patents abroad entirely out
of proportion to the tax upon foreigners
taking out patents in this country.
The intention now is to ask for re-
ciprocal arrangement which will pro
vide that while American patents may
be issued to citizens of other countries
on the same conditions in other re-
spects as they are issued to American
citizens, we may require the outsiders
20 pay the same fees which their coun-
tries require from our inventors.
In some countries to become the
owner of patent costs an American as
well as a citizen from $500 to 500, while
the uniform rate in this country is $50
The effort will be to amend the treaty
making out rates to them equal tC
theirs to u.s.
