WASHINGTON NOTES.

THE December statement shows that
the interest bearing government debt
of the United States amounted to sS47,'
500, geo; debt bearing no interest $685.,
800, 44G.
SINCE the agitation concerning the
publication of the list of pensioners
has commenced, Commissioner Evans
has received several letters from pen
sioners requesting a cancellation OF
their pensions. One pensioner in Mich
igan enclosed his certificate and stated
his desire to have the same recalled as
he was not entitled to the govern
ment's bounty. He added he would en-
deavor to return all the money drawn
since 1895, when the pension was
granted.
A. G. TANNER, acting commissioners
of Indian affairs, has recommended a
deficiency appropriation of $1,000 for
the revision of allotments on the Otoe
reservation, oklahoma. The work is
being done by Helen p Clarke.
SENATOR MASON will soon prepare
and introduce bill in the senate for
Especial appropriation for corn eX-
hibit at the Paris exposition. He
hopes by this means to second the eff
forts of our representatives in Europe
in widening the murIets for this ce-
real. In the fiscal year ended June,
1897, the United States exported 81
1000 bushels of corn and 1000, 900
barrels of corn meal.
TIE commissioner of pensions has is
sued letter to special examiners to
watch pension attorneys and report
any solicitation for business before
the pension bureau on their part.
A SPECIAL to the Chicago Tribune
from Washington on the 9th said that
Spain was considering a formal re-
quest to the United States to use its
good offices to stop the fighting in
Cuba, all efforts of Spain to bring the
subordinates of Gomez to surrender on
the basis of home rule having proven
futile. The Cuban republic, it was
said, will insist on formal recognition
before undertaking any negotiations
with the United States There was a
belief that the public announcement
of the acceptance of this country as q
mediator will result in instant revolu-
ton in Spain.
THE military committee of the house
recently returned to Washington from
a trip to the Vicksburg battlefield and
agreed to favorably report bill for
making it national military park.
A WASHINGTON dispatch said that
Pension Commissioner Evans was re-
ceiving many letters from commanders
of G. A. r. posts commencing his
stucd to bring about certain reforms
in the pension roll.
The legislative committee of the
American Federation of Labor has is
sued an address to congress asking
laws Tor an eight-hour work day ON
public contracts, to stop the indiscrim-
mate use of writs of injunction, to
lessen the competition of convict labor
and to restrict undesirable immigra-
ton.

THE HOsTETTER co. WINS ANOTHER
CASE.
heterogeneous on Their BitterH NOT
Tolerated by United Staten Court,

InfringementB ON Their Bittera Not
Tolerated by United States Court.
The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District Of New York, Judge
Townsend presiding, handed down an opin--
ion December 23d, 1897, granting injunction
and accounting, in the suit Of The Hostetter-
Company against Isaac Sommers and Louis
Joseph, for infringement of its Trade Mark.
The jurist states, in bold and clear language,
the rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany and the liability incurred by all who
would rob them, by fraud or misrepresenta-
ton, OF the well-earned reputation and
profits of business built up by the Efforts
of half a century, The Judge says, in part:
The complainant is entitled to protec-
ton. against the appropriation of its trade
mark, by any and all unfair and dishonor-
able means, and court of equity has pow.
err to grant such protection whenever it is,
satisfied that an attempt has been made by
ingenious subterfuges, to invade the rights.
OF an owner of a trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individual
manufacturer, who strives to acquire and
retain the fruits of industry and hon.
esty, and the field of keen rivals, seeking.
to wrest from him the prize of the public
goodwill, the inventive ingenuity of the
infringer has conceived a great variety of
devices for evading the established rules of
fair dealing. Courts of equity find
ing that their ultimate object and effect
were to enable and induce the retail seller of
fraudulent imitation to palm it off on an
unsuspecting public for the genuine article.
and thus to contribute to the infringement
