FORD MOROCCO COMPANY
In Connection With William E.
Clerk 4 Co., Lose Their Case.
The INJUNCTION CONFIRMED
BY the United States Court OF Appeals
In Philadelphia Yesterday Will BE
Argued at April Tern.--What
Peter j. Ford Has to Say.

The Tannage Patent Company won a
temporary victory over the Ford Moroc-
co Company and the William j.. Clerk
Company ofthis city in Philadelphia yes.
terday.
The case came up in the United States
Circuit Court before Judge Kirkpatrick
who affirmed the order. granting a pre-
liminary injunction preventing the above
named from using process for tanning
leather Of which the complainants in the
case claim to be the patentees.
Suit was brought some time ago, and
the preliminary case would have been
heard in Delaware but for the fact that
Judge Wales was dead and his successor
had not yet been appointed by either
President Cleveland or President Mckin-
ley.
1t was then certified to the United
States District Court in Philadelphia, and
a verdict rendered in favor of the Tannage
Patent Company. The defendants ap-
pcaled the case to the United States Cir
cult Court, and the decision yesterday
was the result.
In the actions brought thus far there
have been no argument adduced on either
side us to the relative merits of the con
troversy, briefs alone being submitted,
upon which the court based It's decision.
At the next term of the United States
Circuit Court, which will be held in
Philadelphia in April, the Tannage
Patent Company will ask for pcrma-
nent injunction restraining the defcn-
dants from using the process claimed by
the aboye company.
50 far as the effect OF an adverse de-
cisioA is concerned, Peter J. Ford, prcsi-
dent Of the Ford Morocco Company said
last evening that i, was immatcral to
his company what the outcome of case
would be. I'VE have" he said, "aban-
doned altogether the Use of the process

method which gives much better salts

DID NOT SAIL.
The Schooner Thomas +. Bayard Still
at Philadelphia.

The two.mastcd schooner Thomas F..
Bayard, which Is fitting out for an Al
askan trip, did not weigh anchor yester-
day and sail merrily away to the West,
as was expected. There has been some
delay in getting the vessel ready, and
while men were fitting her up below
deck others were placing the new sails in
place on the booms and masts. Carpen-
tiers were also busy doing the great
amount of repair work needed on deck,
and it is probable that the ship will not
be ready to begin her trip around the
Horn for the Klondike gold fields until
Saturday morning.

Washington, March 3L.-The agricul-
tural and mineral lands excepting
gilsonite and asphaltum) of the I'm
compahgre reservation will be opened
at midnight tonight by the operation
of the Indian appropriation bill of 1897.
The effort to secure the passage of the
srecial resolution delaying the opening
until October failed, although another
attempt was made, Pettigrew called
up the resolution and Senator Nelson
stated that he withdrew his objection
of yesterday. He said he believed that
if the resolution was adopted all gill
sonite lands outside the little which
have been surveyed will be opened and
this viii lead to scandal.
Senator jones' thought all lands
should be excluded now known or
hereafter proven to contain gilsonite.
Senator Rawins said: These lands
have been subjected to careful exami-
nation by the geological survey and
all known gilsonite lands mapped. 1t
is proposed by this resolution 10 throw
open all lands except those that are
gilsonite, the mineral lands at once.
the agricultural lands six months from
now.
The poor prospector may get there
and spend one, two or many years and
all his money developing the claim.
and il he strikes gilsonite or elaterite
he should be entitled to it. l am I'M
willing to cloud the title of every man
who goes into that desolate country
and endures the hardships which he is
necessarily compelled TO endure in 10
eating and developing a claim. The
sole object of the reservation of these
asphaltum lands from entry under the
mineral lands laws is that the mineral
is now known and located and a man
going in there and locating it would not
run any risk in respect to it's discovery.
Therefore. it is sought to reserve these
lands in order TO dispose. of them by
some other method"
Senator Jones then said he was I'M
willing to let the resolution pass eX-
cept as It came from the house. Sen
ator Rawlins objected to it's passage
without the amendments proposed by
the senate committee and the resolu-
Lex died a sudden death
1t is possible that the interior de-
partment may fail to issue a proclama-
ton opening the reservation, but it is
certain that no such failure can posi-
bly, stop the operation of the old act
of congress, opening all lands except
gilsOnite at midnight

Spanish Situation Impaired to the
Committee Appointed at the Re
publican Conference In the Strict
est Confdence-After the Cable
Message Arrived From Madrid, It
Would Be Necessary to Send An
other-Senate Foreign COMMITTEES.

Washington, March 31.-The commit
tee of Republicans appointed at last
nights conference to call upon the
president, reached the White House
shortly before o'clock and were clos
eted with Mr.. Mckinley.
The committee comprised Represen-
tatives Hopkins, Mercer, Faris, Cooper,
Sulloway, Knox, Joy, Hager, Lorimer
Pearson, Hepburn and Smith, of Mich
igan.
Representative Joy, of Missouri, sec
rotary of the Republican conference,
says that a canvass of the Republicans
of the house shows 179 of them viii in
sist upon complete ana absolute indie
pendence of Cuba.
The committee reported to the con-
ference at a meeting held after the al
journment. They stated that the presl-
dent made q frank declaration as to
what was taking place between the
two governments and concluded with
these words Il pray God that we
may be able to keep peace.
The impression left with the delega-
ton. however, was that he did not ex-
pect a peaceable adjustment. In strict
est confidence Mr.. Mckinley outlined
his course of communications between
Washington and Madrid. He stated
that all now depended upon dispatches
to be communicated and received,
probably within As hours.
The response of Spain to message
cabled it by this government was eX-
pected hourly, and surely would be re-
ceived within "a hours. After 1t arrived

in less than "a hours. He therefore
minated that it would be gratifying
if congress deferred taking action until
next week.
Mn. Hopkins, of Illinois, who made
the report of the committee, said ne
felt it'would be best TO abide by the
presidents wishes. Others who spoke
at the meeting, including Mr.. Lerimer
and Mr.. JOY, advised postponemeht;

MIA thought that in view of the Dupuy

should be allowed. and that Premier
Sagasta was acting in accord with the
policy that the letter had revealed
others followed in the same line, but
il was finally concluded to defer action
until after the adjournment OIL the
house on Monday.

PROVISIONS OF THE LAW.
Act Under Which the Reservation
Is Opened.


1t is important to the public to know
the provisions of the law opening the
Uncompahgre reservation, which goes
into effect today. 1t was passed June
3, 1897, as an amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill After making pro-
vision for the, allotment of lands in
severalty to the Uncompahgres, the act
provides:
And all the lands of said Uncom-
pahgre reservation not heretofore al
lotted in severalty to said Uncompahgre
Utes shall, on and after the first OF
April. 1898. be open for location and en-
try under all the land laws Of the
United States. excepting, however.
therefrom. all lands containing siison-
lite, asphalt elaterite or other like sub
stances. And the title to all of the
said lands containing gilsonite, asphalt
tum. elaterite or other like substances
is reserved to the United States"
The Herald's exclusive reports from
Fort Duchesne and Vernal indicates
that there is a tract of 1900 acres of
rich agricultural land. which the COM
missioners have intended to allOt to the
Indians. and that it is the intention of
the white settlers to occupy these lands
Ii is not believed that there are any
minerals upon the reservation except
those expressly reserved.

NOT WHAT M'KINLEY EXPECTED
The Spanish Reply Does Not Define
Spain'S Real Position.

Washington, April 1.-Speaking of
SPANS reply received, the Post says:
II is not what the president, hoping
for the best, had expected. 1t is al
most a vague and unsatisfactory note
from Minister Woodford, devoting more
space to his Impressions of what the
Spanish government viii and will not
do than formal expression from the
Spanish ministry of its own position.
Spain does not accepde to the Ameri-
can demands. Neither does she posi-
lively and finally reject them. The
question is still left open for future
negotiations. According to the tradi-
tional policy of Spanish diplomacy
more delay is requested and much eva
sion is manifested. One OF the reasons
for asking further time is the fact that
the ministry cannot act without the
ratification of the cortes, which is not
now in session. Counter propositions
are also suggested, rather than plain
~ stated. which look TO the sidetrack
ing of the main issue, which is the
immediate and complete independence
of the island of Cuba
1t is now a question with the presi-
dent whether he will continue to treat
with Spain further along the lines sug
gested in the dispatch, and grant the
additional time which is requested.
No message will be sent TO congress
today. The reply of the Spanish gov
eminent will be considered at the meet
ing of the cabinet this morning and
then it will be decided whether an ulti-
matum viii be sent to Spain
Up to this time, no ultimatum, in
the diplomatic sense, of the word, has
been forwarded. If sent, it will mean
that Spain must, within "A hours.
answer specifically as to the demands
made by the United States. In the
event of failure to answer or a posi-
tive rejection of the American propo-
sitions. the president will suggest to
congress the advisability of recognizing
the Independence of Cuba and enforc-
ing that recognition by a military
demonstration. This will practically
be. a declaration of war. although it
will not go literally to that extent.

DAY OF GREAT ANXIETY.
Scene In the Madrid Cabinet When
Reply Was Formulated.

Madrid, March Sit has been a day
of great anxiety. The papers have con-
fined themselves to antiquities on the
subject Of the cabinet council. 1t
should be said to their credit that they
have displayed great prudence in their
suggestions and comments, showing
their appreciation of the fact that in
the present critical time it is hazard
Gus and might be prejudicial to the
country TO discuss the situation WITH
out sufficient knowledge of the condi-
tions. The evening papers, without
exception, consider the situation I'M
changed, Notwithstanding the recent
conferences. They generally admit
that Minister Woodford'S conduct of
the diplomatic negotiations is very
friendly, and that he is DESTROYS of
peace, but the Spanish government is
reported as "unflinching and opposed
t. any, even friendly, interference to
terminate the war, except through its
own efforts" a war which they claim
is nearing the end and is daily
crushing the rebellion"
FL Epoca Conservative says: THE
queen regent, presiding at the cabinet
council today, encouraged her min
listers to continue their animated
patriotic sentiments toward maintain
ing national honor and territorial in

The committee discussed at some
length the acquisition of St Thomas
island, but no action was taken. Con-
siderable opposition developed TO the
proposition. it being asserted that the
island could be of no possible use at
the present time, as it could not be
made available for war with Spain.
The committee does not expect to at
tempt to make a report until Monday
on the Cuban situation, as it viii wait
absolutely upon the presidents wishes
until that time.
Captain Sigsbee of athe Maine and
Captain Barker, Secretary Longs naval
aide, who went to Key West after the
explosion on behalf of the department,
were before the committee for an hour
at the afternoon sitting. Both were
examined in detail in regard to the con-
dition and strength of our navy in the
vicinity of Havana, and Captain Sigs-
bee was questioned as to his opinion
and knowledge of the Maine catastro-
phe. His story was not materially diff
ferent from that detailed to the naval
court of inquiry. but the fact that it
was given personally to the members
of the committee, and included personal
deductions, made a visible impression
upon the members. Captain Sigsbee
did not express a conviction in so many
words that the disaster was the result
of treachery on the part of the Spanish
but after the committee had concluded
its hearings one of it's members ex-
pressed his belief that the explosion
was due to that agency.
The purpose in taking the testimony
OF these naval officers is to incorporate
their statements in a report which the
committee will make in case it finds
1t necessary to report a resolution for
intervention. This report will be in
the nature of a statement to the coun-
try justifying the position taken, and
it is considered desirable to support
this with an array of the pertinent
facts which will go far to convince the
American people and the civilized
world of the justice of the course
taken.
When the report which was circulated
during the afternoon to the effect that
Spain had rejected the proposals of the
United States was brought to the at
tention of the committee. Senator Davis
went to the chamber and asked that
there should be no adjournment until
Monday as had been contemplated
This led to the surmise that in case the
report of SPANS refusal should be
verified, the committee might bring in
its report. 1t was stated later, how
ever, that the committee had not
changed its plans and that it probably

Things are very hot on the Uncom-

terday everyone was wondering what
was in the wind when the clause pro-

Since then whispered conversations,
