Patents.

Townsville, Ca, Jan. l7.-Hon. Benja-
min Butterworth, United States commits
sioner of patents, who has been i'll at Piny
Woods hotel here several weeks, died yes
terday afternoon. The end was peaceful,
and when it came his wife and children
were at his bedside.
He came here to recuperate from an at
tack of pneumonia, and recovered rapidly
until two weeks ago, when he suffered
from uremic commissions. From that re-
lapse he never recovered. His body will
be sent to Washington tomorrow.
Benjamin Butterworth was what is
known as "birthright Quaker Those
who knew him best during his busy career
are unanimous in saying of him: "His
daily life was as exemplary of the tenets of
that good old faith as that of any public
official could be-"
He was born in Warren county, Ohio,
October %, 1887; was member of the
state senate of Ohio from Warren and
Butler counties in 1874. Mr.. Butter
worth was elected a representative in con-
gress of the First Ohio district, including
the city of Cincinnati, to the 46th, 47th,

ADVERSE TO CORBETT.
Senate Committee Follow Precedent
in the Mantle Case.

Washington, Jan. 15.--The senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections has de-
cided to make an adverse report on H. w.
Corbett's claim to seat in the senate
from Oregon. The vote was 4 to 3, on
(rep.), who was absent, was counted, upon
his authority, in OPPOSITION to Corbett
There were two votes, the first being
upon the motion to declare Mr.. Corbett
entitled to his seat, which was supported
by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar and Pritchard
(rep.), and opposed by Messrs. Gallery
and Pettus (dem.), Allen (pop,), and Bur
rows (rep.) of Michigan. Senator Spooner
was puaired with Senator Turpie, the for
mer for and the latter against the motion
The motion was then made to declare
Mr.. Corbett not entitled to his seat, and
was carried by the above vote reversed.
The voting was preceded by quite gen
eral discussion, based upon the report pre-.
pared by Senator Pettus on behalf of the
OPPOSITION. This report took the position
that the question involved is practically
the same as that involved in the Mantle
case, and this case should be allowed tC
stand as precedent. Senator Pettus made
an argument in favor of establishing a
principle of action in such cases and al
lowing it to stand, taking the position
that there was danger in not taking the
same course every time the political com
plexion of the senate changes.

FIERCE RIOTING IN HAVANA,
Yankees Are Not Safe In the Capital
of Cuba,

New York, Jan. IA special to the
journal and Advertiser from Washington
says that within 4S hours, on present in
dications, intervention in Cuba will have
been forced on the administration. 1t will
be found not unprepared. The rioting in
Havana was much fiercer than the CEN
sored press reports indicated. General Lee
got at the cable early and reported that
the situation was serious, and that the
mob was getting even with the Ameri-
cans" and downing the United States
as much as it was striking at the autono-
mist policy and the reconcentrados.
American citizens had to seek refuge in
the consulate. General Lees prompt mil.
itary instincts told him that the consul
late might be in even greater danger than
any other place in Havana, but General
Blanco at once threw heavy Gordon of
Spanish regulars with artillery around the
whole square, and adjoining streets were
held. This alarming information came
late.

SHOT IN THE CHEST.
Youngest Daughter of Ex-senator
blackburn Seriously Wounded.

Washington, Jan. II. - In her apart
ments in the Wellington hotel Mrs. Lu-
ellie Lane, youngest daughter of ex-Sena-
tor ole Blackburn of Kentucky, shot her.
SELF According to the statement given
out by the family the shooting was acct
dental. Both of Mrs. Lanes physicians
refused to discuss the subject even to the
extent of saying whether or not the
wound would prove fatal, but from the
best that can be learned she will probably
recover, although suffering severely from
the shock. A friend of the family nomi-
mated to give out statement said at mid
night on Saturday Mrs. Lane was prepar-
ing to retire. Her husband at the time
was in the adjoining room looking over
the paper. Mrs. Lane opened 4 bureau
drawer to get a handkerchief and picked
up handful of gloves and laces which
had been tossed together in the drawer.
Under this fluffy mass was tiny lady's
pistol, gift to Mrs. Lane from her faith
er, and a possession of which she was par
ticularly fond. 1t caught in a piece of lace
as she raised her hand and, falling of its
own weight, struck the hammer on the
edge of the open drawer. The pistol ex-
ploded and the ball penetrated her left
breast.
What became of the ball it is impossible
to say. According to the statement given
out it struck rib and ranged around be-
meath the left shoulder, making only a
superficial wound. At the same time it is
said Mrs Lane is suffering so from the
shock that the physicians have devoted
all their energies to rallying her without
attempting to ascertain the extent of the
injury.
Lucille was the youngest daughter of
Senator Blackburn. She was married in
1895 to Thomas F. Lane, prominent bus
mess man and politician of Summit, n. j.
At the time of the marriage Mr. Lane
was chief of division in the treasury de-
partment. Subsequently he accepted a
place with the Maxim Arms Company of
New York as their agent in Washington.
The position is reputed to be a good one
and the Lanes had apparently always an
abundance of money, which they spent
freely living at a fashionable hotel and
seeming to lack none of the good things
of life. Their little girl, something over a
year old, was one of the favorites about
the house with all who knew her, and the
particular pride of her mother. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lane, according to those who saw
them every day, were unvaryingly affec-
tionate and attentive to each other. and
she, while of slight physique, was in ex-
cellent health.

MILLION LOST IN WAGES.
Eject of the Cut in New England
Mills.

Providence, r. l., Jan. 1.-THE cut in
the cotton mills went into effect today
the only exceptions being one or two small
factories of which the owners, for reasons
of their own, have not decided to cut
wages. The reduction will effect to a
greater or less degree the earnings of near
ly 10000 operatives in this state and those
of Knight & Goddard in Massachusetts
Between 10000 and $4,000 employees in
Connecticut mills controlled by Provi-
dence manufacturers are affected also. As
the aggregate earnings of the operatives
will approximate $9,O0O,OO0 annually, the
loss in wages and purchasing power in
consequence of the reduction to operatives
and business men in the communities in
which they spend their money will be
nearly round million, as the cut aver
ages about 10 per cent.

i'll favor of the passage of a resolution
requesting the President to appoint Gen
eral w. i. Roberts, of Gates county, a
