THE FLOUR MARKET
Very Firm Prices, but Only Moder-
ate Advances.

Prices are very firm quoted and the
tendency is higher yet miilers were quoting &
nominally unchanged to u tride f1rmer this
morning. Milers are not anxious to advance
prices to any higher range and are following
the strength in cash wheat through necessity
only. Demand for -four is stimulated in a way
by the higher wheat market, but there is an
Offset to this by the refusal OF some buyers
to stand for any advance. Sales to domestic
buyers were larger.
For the day shipments were 45.45S brls

WANTS A LARGER FORCE.
Estimate of the COmmissioner Of Pat
ents Transmitted to Congress-.

Estimate of the Commissioner of Pat
ents Transmitted to Congress.
Commissioner of Patents r. I. Allen has
made an estimate for an increase in the
force in his office, which has been trans
will require an extra appropriation of
$aS,700 to comply with Mr.. Aliens request.
He states as preliminary that the patent
Office issued more patents last year than
ever before. The office was behind from
one to three months In its examination Of
patent applicationso nthe first Of the year,
when over 5000 cases were awaiting action
The clerks In all Of the divisions which are
behind are working overtime. and 1t is
stated that this condition is chronic.
1.-The number Of examiners should be in
creased to provide properly for this situa-
tion" says Mr.. Allen, which operates un-
employees. and which may reasonably be
expected to grow worse by the growth of
the business Of this bureau in accordance
with the general growth OF the Industrial
arts Of this country. Of which 1t Is an in
dex."
The additional force asked for is three
principal examiners. one to take the place
Of an assistant now at the head Of a divis-
Ion, and two to have charge of two new
divisions to be formed. -Four first assistant
examiners, eight second assistant, ten third
assistant and ten fourth assistant exam
iners; two clerks of class four at 1900;
one clerk OF class three. at $l,6D0.
Mr.. Allen states that there was balance
last year In favor Of the patent Office OF
s152. .012 and he suggests that part OF
/ this might well be used to Increase the
force.

THIRTEEN SAILORS DROWN.
Three Coal BarSes Founder In Gale on
Fire Island.


dispatch from New York last night
says: There is every reason to believe that
three barges, coal laden, from Newport
News for Boston, have been lost at sea as
a result Of the storm on Sunday night. and
that thirteen people comprising the crews
have perished.
The barges were the Antelope, Belle Of
Oregon and Mystic Belle. They were in
tow of the tug Richmond, and the finding
of a piece Of wreckage bearing the letters
20. P. E." lends confirmation to other in
formation at hand.
The Antelope loaded coal at Newport
News for Boston. She was towed to New
York by the tug Clayerton, and was there
transferred to the Richmond. which was
to have towed her to Newport.
During the height of the blow the Rich
monds heavy towing hawser snapped and
the barges went adrift off Fire Island. (
The tug Richmond belongs to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company. Agent
Wiiiett of that company says that Sunday
afternoon the Richmond. in command OF
Captain Mcconnell, left Liberty Island In
New York bay, with three barges in tow
coal laden. Each barge had on board three
men. Besides these there were Captain
Miller and his wife, who acted as cook or
the barge Antelope; Captain Harding. or
the Belle Of Oregon, and Captain Rogers or
the Mystic Belfe-a total of thirteen per.
sons. The Antelope carried 1,910 tons OF
coal, the Belle Of Oregon $50 tons and
| the Mystic Belle LOSS tons.

DEFOREsTATIoN OF RUSSIA.
Attracting Attention Throughout th'
Empire,

Attracting Attention ThrOughOut the
Empire.
'.The gradual deforestation Of Russia is
attracting increased attention throughout
the empire according to Consul General
Holloway at st. Petersburg in report
Just made public by the State Department.
Mr. Holloway states that the Forest So
ciety, as wei as the forestry department
Of the Russian ministry Of agriculture and
domains, Is discussing means for regulating
the consumption of timber and for propo-
cation. However, Mr.. Holloway says that
Russias forestry does not appear to be
in any immediate danger. as a recent off,
cial report shows that her forests now
coved a gross area Of 464, ,54s. 900 acres. or
40 acres Of timber to each inha.bitant. The
forests have a greater importance for Rus
slams, says the consul general, than for the
people of west European countries, az
village and country houses are for the
greater part built Of wood and the forests
furnish the main source OF fuel supply.
Mr.. Holloway says that, while the inn
peral committee complains that the private
owners are recklessly devastating the for
ests and urge that adequate laws and regu-
lations be enacted to prevent this, the
Forest Society. on the other hand. calls at
tention to the fact that, according to Off
cial statistics, the crown forests furnished
a revenue Of So, O64 900 in 1890 and $24. 720,-
coo In $780,. It is claimed. says the consul
general, that this advance In nine years
could not be due to the natural Increase OF
timber growth, and it is urged that the gov.
ernment set the example in moderation.

MIR. CRUMPACKER'S STATEMENT.
| Purpose of His Resolution Presented
to Republican Caucus.

Purpose of His Resolution Presented
to Republican Caucus.
Representative Crumpacker Of Indiana,
author of the resolution presented to the
republican caucus last night and to be
further considered at a caucus next Mon
day night authorizes the following state
ment as to the general purposes Of the
movement, to correct any impression that
1t Is in the nature of a force bill"
1.-THE resolution submitted to the caucus
was designed to secure full and thorough
investigation of the suffrage question, not
only in the south. but in all the states that
have imposed material restrictions upon
manhood suffrage. There Is a general be-
lief that number OF states have disfran.
chised large portion of their citizens; that
the colored population, by the operation OF
state laws, is entirely eliminated as polit-
ical quantity, and yet 1t counts In appor-
tioning representation among the states.
1t is the general belief that the southern
states have at least thirty-f1ve representa-
tives in the House, and the electoral college
resting upon fictitious basis. If this be
found to be true in fact. and representation
be reduced accordingly, as the Constitution
imperative1y requires. 1t would go long
way toward settling the race question.
Such g. method would have none of the
characteristics of force bill. 1t would re-
auire no force for its execution. Disfran-
chising states would suffer reduction of
political power which they could regain by
educating their citizens and admitting them
to the privilege Of the ballot. The whole
question would rest with those states.
But the caucus Is asked simply to au-
thorize a thorough investigation of the
whole question through a congressional
committee specially appointed and equipped
for that purpose. and when the facts as
they really exist are laid before Congrezs
and the country such action may then be
taken as the situation requires"

act information regarding the vast amount
OF printed matter in the form Of books
and documents which has been accumu1at-
ing in various parts Of the Capitol since its
occupancy by Congress. Mr.. Atherton and
four men were engaged In this work a
number of months. As a result 1SO 600
documents were located and indexed. 1t
is estimated that about half the work has
been done. These documents OCCUPY four
teen rooms, which had been closed up for
years
When the classification has been com
pleted some measure win be presented for
the distribution OF these Documents, at
which time many rooms will be made avail
able Tor committees which are now SIM
ply storerooms. =
Some OF the documents and books un-
earthed by the committee are very valu-
able, and win doubtless be added to the
Library Of Congress.
