ACQUIRED BY BOLIVIA.
Resources of the Territory Obtained
From Brazil.

United States Consul Kenneday at Para
has transmitted to the State Department a
communication to him from Mr. Florian
Zambrano, high commissioner and financial
agent of the Bolivian government, In an
swer to questions submitted to him in re-
gard to the resources Of the territory ac-
quired by Bolivia by the adjudictfon of
the boundary line dispute between that
country and Brazil. Mr.. Kenneday saws
that the report of the commission which
settled the question Of the boundary line
will be published in Europe some time this
month. When the extent and value of the
lands transferred to Bolivia are considered
he says, together with the desire on the
part of the Bolivian government to encour-
age colonization by means of subsidies
land grants, exemption from duties and
taxes and other special privileges, the i'm
portance of the decision of the commission
may be approXimated.
1.-The final adjudication of the boundary
dispute between Bolivia, Peru and BRAZIL
linquishment of the thousands Of square
miles of land involved to the two first-men-
toned countries, may mark the beginning
of a new era In this part Of South Amer
fca." The territory under dispute with
the adjacent regions in the Andes noun
tains. he continues, is reported to be very
rich, and he states that Americans should
not permit the people of any other nation
to anticipate them in the exploitation of
this field. Mr.. Kenneday says that the
cession of this extensive land viii deprive
the Brazilian state Of Amazonas of a large
portion OF the revenue which it derived
from export duties on rubber, as much of
the rubber from the Acre Purus and other
rivers embraced in the territory ceded to
Bolivia has hitherto passed through the
Manaos custom house. but will now pay
toll to Bolivia. On the other hand, he con-
tinues. Para will profit indirectly by the
new conditions, as all cargoes entering and
leaving the Amazon pass through that port.
Mr.. Kenneday states that at the close of
the calendar year 1901 1t Is found that the
receipts of rubber at Para are nearly 40
per cent greater than ever before at that
season. There Is reason to believe, he saws
that the rubber crop Of 1901 will exceed
that of 1900 by very considerable margin.

FRENCH PATENT REGULATIONS.
Outline of a Recent Ministerial De

cree.
The State Department has made public a
| resume Of the French ministerial decree
setting forth the new patent regulations OF
the republic, submitted by United States
Consul Brunot at ST. Etienne, under date
of December o. The decree went into ef-
feet at the beginning of this year.
In order to obtain a patent in France,
three conditions are now necessary; first,
the invention must be absolutely new; Sec
ond, it must possess an Industrial charac-
ter, and third, 1t must not be contrary to
public order or security, good morals, or
the laws of the country.
An invention Is not considered new when.
previous to the date of filing Of the appli-
cation, 1t has received sufficient publicity in
France or abroad to render it easy of imita-
ton. Patents are not guaranteed by the
government, which delivers them at the
risk of the applicant-there may be noticed
on thousands Of patented inventions the let
ters IS. G. D. G." meaning without the
guarantee of the government" The cost Of
French patent is $965O for five years:
$193 for ten years. and $2S9.5O for fifteen
years. This tax Is paid in annuities Of 100
francs. or 5000, In advance. Mr.. Brunot
says that for the first six months of 1902.
the decree VIII not be applied in an absolute
manner.
A decision, interesting to patentees, has
recently been rendered by the court Of
Lyons, says Mr.. Brunot. By the law of
1874 the person who has obtained a patent
In France, must work his invention in that
country within two years after the date Of
patent, or lose his rights. The courts have
decided that the working must be real and
that publicity due to the cession Of the pat
ent to another party is not sufficient

EXTRA SESSION
FOR THE TREATY
President Expected to Call II
for November
mo DEFINITE DATE FIXED
Hoped to Have Cuban Reciprocity
Question Settled Before Regular
Meeting Of Congress

Washington, Aug. 13.-Advices re-
ceived here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate in extra
ordinary session early in November.
Ever since It became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent ses-
sion of congress rumors of a more or
less definite nature have been in cir
culation that the president would call
an extra session either Of the entire
congress to enact Cuban reciprocity
legislation or of the senate TO ratify
If possible a reciprocal treaty with Gu
ba During the past week it has been
stated that it was the purpose Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call a special session
of the senate as early as September.
1t can be stated by authority that he
has no such intentions. His time and
that of many members of the senate
of both political parties will be COM
pletely occupied during September and
October. 1t is understood to be the be-
lief of President Roosevelt that a ses-
sion of the senate held for the pur-
pose of ratifying a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba would be more likely to be
fruitful Of results If it is held after the
November elections than if it was held
before. 1t is assured that the question
of the relations of the United States
with Cuba will enter largely into the
approaching campaign and it is stated
that the president feels the Democrats
will be less likely to offer serious op-
position TO a reciprocity treaty after the
election than they would before that
time A treaty with Cuba practically
has been prepared II requires only
the finishing touches and the sigma
lures OF Minister Quesada and Sec
retary of State Hay to make it ready
for presentation to the senate.
No definite date, it is understood has
been fixed upon for the meeting of the
session in November, but that it will
be soon after the election is reason
ably certain. The president, it is said
hopes to have the reciprocity question
cleared away entirely before the regu-
lar session Of congress.
There is no doubt here that the pres
ent distress in Cuba is due to the fail
ure of congress to give the products Of
that island an advantage in the Ameri.
can markets. The discussion in the
Cuban congress and the passage by one
branch or the other, of legislation car
rying a big loan has had the effect her,
of infanslfvino the sentiment Of ra1fal
to Cuba by way Of reciprocity.

Major Thomas A. Blackford has re-
signed as commandant of cadets at the
Wilmington Military Academy, and will
be succeeded by Captain e. S. Avis, Of
the United States Army who has been
recalled from the post of military in
structor at Delaware College, by re-
quest of the college trustees. There
viii be two other new faces in the
academy faculty at the opening OF the
school year in September. One Will be
a teacher of German, and the other a
teacher in the lower branches ofEnglish,
penmanship, etc.
Major Blackford resigns as military
instructor of the academy TO become
an officer of the Maryland Life Insur-
ance Company He will continue his
financial interest in the academy, how
ever. and also will continue to be one
Of the regents.
Major Blackford associated himself
with the academy two years ago, since
which time he has succeeded in build
ing school of which the city is
proud, and which is among the most
successful Of its kind in the East. The
directors are thankful for the devotion
TO the work shown by the retiring
major, and It is with some regret that
he leaves.
Captain Avis, who succeeds =. IN. is
a United States Army officer. and a
graduate of West Point. In addition "a
being military commandant, he will

lar Republican. The claim is that he
can secure this vote. But while it is
plausible, it has little foundation. The
Regulars apparently have grown tired
of electing Union Republicans TO the
county offices without recognition af-
forwards. Riley Melvin. of FELTON,, also
wants the nomination. Melvin has
spent most of his life in farming. and
in wanting to be sheriff. Kent county
men can't remember when he wasn't
a candidate for the office. and it may
be given him to end the eternal quest.
Lemuel II. Johnson. a hotelkecper of
Bowers Beach. thinks that he would
make a good sheriff. He secured the
nomination a number Of years ago. but
he did not get the votes.
For the other county offices there
are numerous candidates and there has
been a great deal of rivalry engen-
dered. Already threats Of lmihng can
didates are heard. and there will be
wounds inflicted that are hard to heal.
Apparently most of the candidates
have taken for granted that they will
have the full Republican vote, evident
ly holding that Regular Republicans
exist for the sole purpose Of electing
Union Republicans to office.
A prominent Regular of Dover yes
terday said that the Unions were calm
ly assuming that the Regulars would
endorse their nominees, but that il
would depend on several things, and
intimated that the action of the Unions
ON the State ticket might have some
thing to do with it.
The stories coming from Dover re-
garding the complexion of the Demo
cratic ticket appear to be without foun-
dation. Instead of it being a Kenney-
Biggs combine, it is the old Kenney-
Salisbury crowd. Kenney held the
