DIES MONIES, Feb. 2.-Ten patents
we're issued last week to Iowa invent
ors by the acting commissioner. In
the Court of Appeals Judge Morris has
recently given the following: 1.-THE
fact that party does not know that a
rival has entered the field is no excuse
for delay, since the risk that Il rival
may appear at any time is something
which any inventor is bound to con-
template and to anticipate, and in this
lies the fundamental reason for the re-
quirement of due diligence. -
The earlier an inventor can complete
his invention and get his application
for patent on record in the United
States Patent Office, the better. When,
however, the invention is not complete
BUT shows patcntable invention we can
prepare and file applications incom-
plete and add improvements within a
year from the date of fling so that the
record evidence will afford good de-
gree of protection to the first and ear
lest part of an invention to which i'm
orovements are subsequently made to
perfect it.
A number of such applications for
different subjects have been filed by
us in the y. S. Patent office this week
and will await further actions of the
inventors to complete and prosecute
their claims.

ing, valuing and selling patents sent

Consul General Lees Report Quite Differ
ent From Spanish Reports.
Washington dispatch: Advices from
Consul General Lee show an entirely
different state of affairs existing in
Havana from that pictured by the
Spanish dispatches. He represents the
situation there as very bad. General
Lee with emphasis says that the Span
ish authorities are sending out false
reports about the insurgents weaken
ing and about autonomy gaining. He
expresses very plainly his opinion that
the autonomy experiment is a failure,
and that nothing is to be expected of
it. He represents the insurgents as
holding their own and resisting the at
tempts to bride them. The consul gen.
erals report is of such character as
to inspire the feeling that the admins
tration has not acted prematurely in
sending warship to Havana. In the
report received, General Lee expresses
more unreservedly than ever before
his conviction of the hopclessness Of
the Spanish cause in Cuba. He goes
further than he has hitherto done in
his opinion that intervention must

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 3.-Not since
the trials of the Molly McGuirc,s has
case attracted so much attention in the
coal regions as that of Sheriff Martin
and his 80 deputies, which has begun
in the Luzcrne county court. The
prosecution committee, which had it's
headquarters at Hazleton, claims to
have sufficient evidence to convict if
teen of the defendants. 1t is alleged
that everyone of the fifteen made
threats on the morning of the shooting.
1t is also claimed that Sheriff Martin
had an understanding with the depu
ties. 1t has been claimed all along
that the sheriff never gave the order to
fire. The prosecution say that this
may be true in one sense of the word,
but the sheriff gave signal which was

order. The signal was for the sheriff
to pull his revolver. The instant he

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Odessa cores
pondent of the Times says volunteer
fleet will convey in the quickest time
practicable over 10000 Russian troops
to the far east. The first cruiser, with
1000 men, will leave within a few
days. The Daily Mail says it learns
from q source "hitherto accurate that
China is inclined to make the best pos
sible bargain with Russia, whose di-
plomacy appears to have triumphed at
Peking, England having resolved to
force conflict by further opposing
Russias claims at Port Arthur and in
the Liao-Tung peninsula. Japan,
says the Daily Nails authority, has
been thrown into state of consterna-
ton by the British backdown and has
accepted more friendly attitude
toward Russia" This statement, how
ever, the Daily Mail admits is ''incred-
ible and probably bluff, with view
of forcing England to take decided
steps," The Daily Mail counsels it's
readers not to be alarmed.
PEK1N, Feb. lit is supposed that
Great Britain's withdrawal from Port
Arthur and ceasing to exert pressure
for the opening Of Port Talien Wan, is
owing to the disbelief in the existence
of secret treaty between Russia and
China. The Chinese government
however, quotes this treaty as the rea-
son for Russia's presence at Port Ar
thur and Russia's dispatches to the
Chinese foreign department allege the
occupation of Port Arthur is in accord
ance with the treaty.

a number of German sailors by the
Chinese. A sailor named Schulz, be-

assassinated by the Chinese rabble
while on outpost duty at Tsi,no, the
extreme German post at Kiao Chou
Bay. The head was severed from the
body. When the crime was discovered
by the relieving corporal and the guard
they were also attacked by hundreds
of the natives. The guards defended
themselves as best they could, but it is
reported all were killed after they had
killed twelve Chinese. The greatest
excitement prevails at kiao Chou. 1t

Set pieces, the "gates ajar," broken

painful, for, in the first place, the nat

the dead should be scattered in care
less handfuls-then only are they COM

Spain for the payment of $4,000 in

Of the minister of foreign affairs to the
fact that this claim was presented last
summer; that it has not yet been paid,
nor, in fact, has a detailed answer been
received to the note addressed to the
late Minister Canovas. The only reply
made has been formal acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the claim. There
is reason to believe the instructions
which the department is preparing will
be more vigorous in character than
those submitted last summer.

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALAsKA'
Some Requirements That VIII BE Found
Indispensable.

| indispensable.
The universal article Of diet in thar
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is breadSor biscuit. And to make
| the bread and biscuit, either In the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
cesses of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only one which VIII
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important foi
every one proposing to 60 to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, fol
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
Of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find a solid caked mass
or lot of spoiled powder. with no
strength and useless. Such mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment in food, or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such a
climate, and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor
in that country, everything must be
the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
ties. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part OF its
value
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice OF those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind Of
supply, says: 1--WE find In Alaska that
the Importance of proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with can Of bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
of the arctic region"
It is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its relief
and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient of leavening agents. Hence 1t Is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
It can be had of any Of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing, he should resist every attempt OF
the outfitter to palm of upon him any
of the other brands Of baking pow
der, for they will spoil and prove the
cause of great disappointment and
trouble,
