WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MARCH l1TH, 1901.

A firm which has procured more than
$4,000 patents for inventors, as G. A,
Snow g. Co., the Washington Patent
Lawyers have done, have right to feel
that they haye been instrumental in in
creasing the prosperity OF the country,
and in keeping American invention at
the head of the worlds procession.
In official circles, very hopeful view
is taken Ct the Cuban situation, not
withstanding sensational press dis
patches from Havana, and the opinion
is expressed that the Cubans will after
talking awhile, accept the conditions
laid down by Congress for the removal
of American control. 1t is very posi-
lively denied that any increase Of our
military force is or has been contem-
plated by the Administration.
According to Prof. Chas. W. Dabney.
President of the University of Tennes-
see, who testified before the Industrial
Commission, on conditions in the South,
the South has entered upon period of
natural evolution, which will carry its
industries steadily forward for years.
He said that cotton, cattle and mules
bring better prices than ever before,
and that the people of the south were
enjoying period of great prosperity;
also that industrial education was max.
ing the negro more productive as a cit
izen than he had been as slave.
Representative Cannon, Dalzell and
Richardson have a job that's not envied
by any of their colleagues. They con-
stitute the committee authorized t o
have the House entirely re.furnished,
including new desks for the members
and new chairs in place of the old
benches III the galleries. They know
that no matter how well they perform
their task, they will not escape criti-
cism. At any rate, the long experience
of the three gentlemen ought to enable
them to come very near to putting in
what will be needed, even if they don't
please everybody.
The ex Senators have been fortunate
in landing Presidential appointments
Ex-senator Chandler has been made
head of the Spanish War Claims Com
mission, which carries the same salary
as Senator and will last for several
years; Elk Senator Carter, who talked
the River and Hal Dor bill to death, has
been made one of the United States
Commissioners to the st. Louis ezposi-
ton, which is thres. year job at SIS DOC
q year, and three other eX Senator's
Thurston, Mcbride and Lindsay-a r {
slated for st. Louis Exposition commls
sionship. This is an indication of the
value of knowing the ropes.
The President is not discouraged be-
cause of the apathy of the Senate on
the reciprocity question, shown by the
failure of whole bunch of reciprocity
treaties for lack OF action by the SEN
ate. By his direction, Secretary Hay
