AN ADVANCE of from ten TO twenty
per cent. has already taken place in the
market price Of many of the articles in
common use, and, under the new tax
bill to be passed by Congress, that adj
vance will be increased. But, though
war is an expensive luxury, its cost
must be borne by the poor people.

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 80, 1898

A NORTHERN newspaper says that
"among other businesses that have sui
fered "a check by reason of the war, is the
business of parlisanship." The paper
referred to has been eating too many
lotus leaves. Why, partisan business
is so active in Congress that two fairly
and legally elected Virginia members
of that body have recently been turned
out of their seats therein, for no other
reason than the fact that they were
nominated and elected by democrats,
and partisan attempt will be made
week after next to turn out another one.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, April 30.
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day

After the reading of the journal in
the House to-day Mr.. Taylor, OF cleo
tions committee number one, filed and
asked immediate adoption of report
in The case of Willis VS.. Handy, from
Delaware, favoring the sitting member.
Willis having abandoned the contest.
The report was adopted.
Mr.. Boutelle then called up the cor.
ference report on the naval appropr-
alton bill.
After considerable wrangle between
Messrs Boutelle and Cannon, the 70.

sent that the report be rejected, with
| the right to move to reconsider re.
served, pending which motion the
House should proceed TO consid ration
and debate of the report, each side 10
occupy one hour and half, and that
request was agreed to.
Mr.. Sayers had read the Senate
amendment directing the Secretary Of
the Navy to use, wherever necessary,
inventions of naval officers, and au-
thorizing such officers 10 prosecute
claims for compensation therefor in the
Court of Claims.
Mr.. Cannon presented resolution
declaring it the sense of Congress that
officers of the navy were not entitled
to compensation for the use OF inyen.
tons made while in the service OF the
navy, and that the laws should be so
amended as to prevent such compenss-
ton.
Mr.. Sayers spoke in opposition to
the amendment relative 10 compenss
ton for inventions, declaring the in
Ventor officers were educated and en-
ployed at the expense OF the govern
ment and the latter was entitled to u-e
without expense the inventions Of such
officers.
Mr.. Walker said the government had
no more right to appropriate without
compensation the inventions of its ma
val officers than to deprive them, with
out remuneration, of Jewels they might
find while in the service.
'The law" interrupted Mr.. Cannon,
''is that if an employee, using the tools,
time and material of his employee, in
vents something, the employer is Ell
titled to part of the invention"
THAT is only where the man is en-
, ployed to invent" declared MIR. Walk

of the patent law"
patent lawyers are generally poor
Ones" responded Mr.. Cannon, and Mr..
Walker concurred amidst laughter.
Mr.. Dockery opposed the amend
ment. 1t would give monopoly 10
certain officers. Proceeding, he said it
was most unusual feature to be intro
duced into an appropriation bill and it
looked like there was something wrong
in the proposition and an effort was be-
ing made to force it through under the
stress of circumstances incident TO the
war time.
Mr.. Hepburn said the officers now
might secure compensation for inver-
tons used by the government, but to
do so they must come to Congress and
have their claims passed upon at once
or referred to tribunal flor adjudca
ton, andgthe chief accomplishment OF
the proposed amendment would be the
fixing of certain tribunal to which
officers could go direct with their claims
without waiting upon the pleasure Of
Congress in each particular case.

From Manila.

HONG KONG, April 3O.-The British
steamer Memnon which has just ar
rived here from Manila, reports having
seen the Spanish fleet cruising outside
Manila. She also met the British
steamer Esmeralds chartered by the
banking companies of this place, which
is on her way to Manila to take on
board the specie there. She did not
see any vessels of the United States
fleet. The latter is supposed 10 be close
in shore, trying to communicate with
the insurgents, preparatory to contlnu-
ing on to Manila.
If the reports which are current here
are correct, the United States fleet has
difficult task TO accomplish. 1t is
said that the entrance of Manila bay is
commanded by from fifty to sixty heavy
guns, we'll placed, and it is added that
it will be impossible for the American
warships to enter the bay without bat
tleships or without the cooperation OF
strong land force. Therefore, it is be
lieved Commodore Dewey will not at
tempt to force the entrance into the
harbor, but will blockade the port until
the insurgents move on Manila. Agents
of the insurgents here are trying to
charter q steamer, in expectation of be-
ing able to transport force of insur-
gents to the vicinity of Manila, and
capture the strong fortress of CaVite,
inside Manila bay.
The cable to Manila is still intact but
the transmission of news regarding
military or naval movements in the
Philippine Islands is barred.
The British warships aud torpedo
boats at Hong Kong have been forbid.
den to commence fresh repairs, which
would seem to indicate the possibility
of movement in the near future upon
the part of the British fleet.

In THE .. S. HOUSE, of Repre- senta

is nearer the ports from which the army

soned,'' and though the South pro-
duces all the supplies those troops re-
quire, all such supplies have been pur-
chased in the North; in making

THE STATE TROOPS.

Congressman John Lamb, of Rich
mond district, telegraphs that Secretary
of War Alger has informed him that
fifteen thousand United States volun-
teers will be modified at Richmond.
They will camp on the old fair grounds,
which are admirably adapted for the
purposes OF an encampment. The
bringing of so great a number of soldiers
| to that city will mean much for Rich
mond.
The call for troops from Richmond,
which takes four companies of the
First Regiment that volunteered, lesv-
ing the balance that did not. will, it is
thought, destroy the organization Of
that noted command, as it is not be-
lieved that the remaining companies
will hang together until the companies
going to the front will have returned,
aud it is not believed to be practicable
to recruit companies to take their places
at home. 1t is stated that several OF
the higher officers did not enlist, be-
cause they realized that they were ply
sically disabled, and that several OF
those who did enlist will be discharged
Tor the same reason.
A dispatch from Lynchburg says:
Lynchburg's military companies, all
of which have volunteered and have
recruited up to full compliments, are
very much discouraged at the delay in
ordering them to Richmond. and unless
they can secure pecuniary assistance
from the State or national government
at once there is danger of considerable
decentralization and loss of large por-
ton of the new recruits, nearly all OF
whom are young men without means,
who have given up positions or left
their homes in the country, and who
are dependent upon the companies for
the necessaries of life.
The Governor yesterday recommend
ed to the Secretary of War. DR.. Charles
V. Darlington, of Richmond, and DR..
W. S. Sayers, of Norfolk, as members
of the board of surgeons, to examine
the men who desire to enlist in the vol
unteer army from Virginia. The regu-
lar army surgeon detailed for service
on this board of surgeons is MAJ. G. w.
Adair, intelligence of whose detail for
this purpose was received in Richmond
from the War Department yesterday.
Lieut.. R. G. Croxton, who is already on
duty with the Virginia volunteers, has
been detailed as muster.in officer for
the troops of this State.
The Governor has notified Adjutant-
General Corbin, United States Army,
that Virginis's three regiments are
ready to come to Richmond on short
notice. An officer from the department
of the quartermaster-general is expect
ed here soon to make arrangements for
the encsmpment of the troops.
