Strong Points Made by the Ex-sep-
ator In a Fourth of July Speech.
CHICAGO. July 5.-A special to the Tri
bune from Maryville. Mo-. says:
Ex-senator PETER of Kansas was the
principal speaker at the Fourth of July
celebration in Maryville. He said In his
address:
Scarcely had the smoke of battle be-
tween Americans and Spaniards blown
from over Manila when that part of the
earth began to show signs of American
prosperity and order. Everything went
along smoothly until some of our soldiers
were fired upon by certain ruffians 1t i'm
mediately became our governments duty
10 defend the lives of our soldiers and the
honor OF our country, and to secure and
preserve peace and order.
nen that has been done we can find
time to dispute among ourselves about
minor questions of government, but not
before Those who oppose this policy tell
us that we are violating the principles of
the Declaration of independence by en-
forcing our government upon people with
out their consent.
"Win you turn open the doors OF our
prisons and turn out all the men who are
| fncarcerated there against their consent !?
This country originally belonged to the
Indians. Did the white man permit the
Indian TO burn and kill. because to restrain
consent?
I'VE were dealing directly with Spain,
and when the Spanish fleet was sunk and
Manila captured the Philippines came into
our control, under the International code
| and we became directly responsible for
them and the acts of Their inhabitants in
| the eyes of the world. They are ours TO
dispose of as much as any territory Of This
| nation, and If the administration refused
| to put down that rebellion IL would he > $
| derelict in its duty as 1t would be n n
| tailed to put down rebellion In Kansas,
Missouri or Texas"

THOUSANDS OF USELESS MODELS.
Many Moved to Give Room for Patent
Office Clerks

Office Clerks.
In the big model room of the patent office,
where the early genius of man was de-
picted in rude models, busy clerks are now
working to keep up the largely increasing
business of the patent office Many of the
models are stored away on two floors of
the Union building awaiting disposition
Thousands of them are useless and have no
value whatever, and long ago it became a
serious problem what to do with them
Prior to 1880 one of the rules of the patent
office required an inventor to file with his
application for patent working MODEL of
his device. In a few years there were
many thousands, and it became necessary
to assign the entire top 1oor OF the bu:idirg
for their display.
1t soon became one III the attractive fea-
lures of the cityo for visitors and the rec
ord of those who called is still faithfully
Kept. Many volumes attest the visits and
tanned distinction in the many walks of life
While the big fire of 1877 was universally
deplored, 1t partially solved the problem
which was growing ia Importance every
day as to how 20 take care of the models
Thousands were, destroyed in that fire and
never replaced. Three years later the mod
els had increased at such rate that the
department concluded,fto repeal the order
requiring them. Re Instead the inventor is
now required to furnish set of working
drawings, showing the invention from sew
eral points of view. In some special cases.
however, models are required
About three months ago the question of
providing more room for the increased force
OF clerks came up and then it was decided
to move the models {. Gradually they had
been forced from place to place, crowded
in galleries and obscure places. Two floors
were rented in the Unian building and most
of the models moved, There are still some
cases remaining, the ones showing the de-
velopment of industrial implements being
the most complete. This display was ar
ranged for the worlds fair and has never
been disturbed The cases remaining are
to be found in the north and south halls.
