NEW RECORD T'OR RECEIPTS.
a Most Prosperous Fiscal Year for the
Patent OfiIre.

Patent OhlPe.
Commissioner of Patents Duell states
that the past fiscal year has been a most
prosperous one for the patent office. The
cash receipts have been 81 35S 22S 355a
larger sum than received in any previous
fiscal year The number of patents issued
is also the largest in the history of the
office, numbering 26,540. There has been a
corresponding increase in the number of
trademarks, patents and labels registered
The increase in the number of applications
for letters patents and caveats. and reg
istration of trademarks, labels and prints
Is 1000 over that of the previous fiscal year
and aggregates 1000.
Congress has given all the force nces-
sary to do the work of the office, but of the
general prosperity of the country increases
IT Will be necessary in the near future to
increase .he force.
Complaint is still made of the lack of
room. That part of the additional space
arising from the removal of the land office
and allotted by the Secretary of the Inter-
ior to the patent office is still insufficient
and the commissioner insists that the only
solution is the erection of a suitable build
ing to be occupied solely by the patent
office and of such proportions as to provide
ample space for the expected increase of
the office work and which will be a fitting
monument to the inventors of the country,
to whom the great material advance of the
country Is largely due. American inventors

increase, because through their inventions
the cost of production is being steadily de-
creased.

of the New Government
in Tutuila.

The Navy Department has received re-
port from Commander Tilley, the naval
governor of the Samoan Island of Tutuila,
showing the satisfactory working of the
new government established there by the

He has asked permission of the Navy De-
partment to enlist as landsmen in the
United States navy eighty of the natives of
Tutuila. whom he proposes to organize into
a military police corresponding to the
United States Marine Corps. The comman-
der says that the natives are fine stalwart
fellows, who would make excellent police
men.

Capt Leary. nav"l governor of the Island
Of Guam, filled with details of the admin
istra ton of the island affairs and embody-
ing copies of several formidable proclama-
tions which the energetic naval officer is

Gratis of Ohio county was held last night
at the Y NJ. D. c. headquarters, in the

take action on the Holt meeting ar
ranged for next Friday night. The
meeting was the outgrowth of senti-
'ments favorable to dividing the meet
ing and parade upon two nights, and
a number of addresses favorable to this
course were made.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
1t is impracticable to conduct big
street demonstration and a big meet
ing on the same night. For this rea-
son it was decided to postpone the par
ade until Saturday night. Judge Holt
will speak at the Opera House Friday
night, as announced. and the parade
on the following evening will be the
largest demonstration of the campaign
by Democratic marching clubs.
