RIGHTS OF INVENTORS.
Announcement to Be Made by the
President.

Proclamation is soon to be made by
President Roosevelt of certain changes in
the international Industrial property con-
vention which by agreement between the
governments affected became operative Sep
tenrber IA. These changes affect the prop
erty rights of the inventor who seeks the
protection of foreign patents after hav-
Ing been granted letters patent In his own
country and extend those property rights
far beyond their previous limitations.
In the Presidents manifesto these
changes are to be set forth as amendments
to the convention of March 90 1883. where
in Belgium. Brazil, Denmark. the Domini-
can republic. Spain, the United States. the
French republic, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan, the Netherlands. Portugal, Servia,
Sweden and Norway, the Swiss confedera-
ton and the government of Tunis united to
establish a system of international patents.
The treaty approving these changes was
signed at Brussels December IA, 1900. rati-
fled by the United States Senate March Z.
1901, and the ratification deposited at Brus-
sells May 3, 1901.

New York Street Cars.

The simple fact. advisedly and temperate
ly stated, Is that the street car service OF
this borough is not fit for the patronage or
self-respecting women. woman cannot
ride in the average street car without dan
ger Of gross physical insult. During con-
siderable part of the day. including hours
in which women have most need to use the
street cars. there is strong proDability
that a woman passenger will be subjected
to indignities which should be regarded as
intolerable. There are probably few wo-
men who ever enter a street car without
not unreasonable fear of ill-treatment ana
mental protest against being compelled
thus to expose themselves to 1t. There are
few men who are not reluctant to have their
wives and daughters ride in street cars, or
who see they do SO without telling of in
dignation at the treatment they receive.

A PECULIAR CONTEST
Secretary 0verstreet on the
Fight for the House.
MANY LOCAL TROUBLES
THEY RAISED ISSUES THAT
WERE NOT NATIONAL.
Their Effect Could Not Be Estimated
and Doubt Was Caused Regard
ing the General Result.
MANY LOCAL TROUBLES

Representative Jesse B. Overstreet, secre-
tary of the republican congressional commit
tee. arrived here this morning to attend to
some departmental business before making
a visit to his home. Mr. Overstreet will
leave for the west in couple Of days and
will not be here until December 1. Mr..
Overstreet spoke with interest in relation
to the results of the election when seen by
a Star reporter.
1.-The contest" he said, was both pecu-
liar and difficult. 1t was peculiar because
there was no overshadowing national Issue
upon which public attention could be CEN
tered, and difficult because the very absence
of a single national issue precipitated fights
in a great many districts upon different
lines.
I'm addition to that there were local
troubles in great many districts that had
nothing whatever to do with national af-
fairs and the general result was made
doubtful because of these peculiar condi-
tions.
Won on National Issues.
Wherever strictly national issues were
presented the republicans won triumph
antly. Their losses, except in purely demo-
cratic districts, are entirely attributable to
local and not to national troubles.
The winning back Of the silver states of
NeDTaSSa, ludnO, montana ana COLORADO
Is especially gratifying, as 1t indicates a
strengthening in the republican party and
| the elimination from those states OF the free
silver question.
THE Presidents personality was an espe-
cially strong factor, not only In the west
ern and northwestern states. but also
throughout the country.
The courageous and successful manner
with which he brought about settlement
of the coal strike indicate that he Is capa-
Bile of handling large problems in sue
cessful way, and naturally strengthens him
and also his party.
Losses in New York.
"The losses in New York state are at
1t is to be regretted. but nevertheless It is
true. that the Tammany organization is a
powerful element in New York politics.
Until 1t can be overthrown through pub
lie sentiment In New York 1t will necessa-
rily play an important part in New York
state affairs.
"Our forecasts of two weeks ago have
been shown by the result to have been very
accurate. We claimed 204 seats. and we
have elected in 206 districts. We have
probably carried in the seventh Alabama
and in the ninth Virginia, but I presume,
under methods peculiar to those states, the
their certificates.
| THE generally strong republican pluralf-
ties in Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana Vest
Virginia, Michigan and Kansas show that
the country is satisfied with a continuation
of republican policies. and that legislation
for the benefit of business should be along
republican lines. The policies advocated by
Mckinley, and now being prosecuted by
President Roosevelt, have been handsomely
approved
