NEW BRITISH PATENT LAW.

The Outlook thinks that the new
 British Patent Law. recently enacted,
 may accomplish for Great Britain something of what the Protectionists there want to accomplish by..a reform
 in the British fiscal policy. Hence
 forth, in order to keep patent in-
 violahle in Great Britain. foreign
 manufacturer who patents his process there must establish factories for the
 manufacture of his product. For in- stance, the manufacturers of Ameri- can type writers and cash registers must hencetorth make the products in Great Britain. Already shoe ma chinery firm and safety razor com pany have started plants in England.to comply with the law. It is believed that about s125, GOO GOO of foreign cap- ital during the next twelve months
 will be invested in factories in Great
 Britain, mostly by American and Ger
 mar firms. The new law affects Ger
 many even more than it does Ameri- ca, if we may judge from last years percentage of applications for British patents-36 per cent from Cermanyssas against 26 per cent from the United States. German politicians. influenced by that great representative body, the Bund der IndustrielIen, are now clan : oring..for retaliation, quite forgetting. it would seem, their own stringent patent law and their ultra protection ist traiff. Our position is better than the German, because our patent laws are virtually as liberal as were those of Great Britain. Hence we can re- taliate by compelling the British pat entee in America to make his own products in this country. But we may be sharply reminded, in the course of time. that Americans have registered about three patents in London for every patent registered in Washington
 by Eugiishmen. It will be interest
 ing to see. nevertheless. what con- gress will do to satisfy the expected clamor from our typewriter, cash re-
 gister. shoe machinery. safety razor,
 ard other companies, who now consid-
 CT themselves rather ''hard hit" by the British patent law.

MT. Johr B. Lennon. treasurer oi the American Federation of Labor. is more candid than the average trade unioniss. Addressing mass meeting as Kansas City few days ago he de- clar ed that strikes and boycosss were sancsioced only as last resort and added: s'wherever violence is used, it is because the principles of trade unionism have been departed from by individual trade Gnionists. This leads the Spokane Review so remark : "The moment violence is resossed to the strikers do themselves great in- jury. Condemnation of their methods takes the place of sy mpathy with their grievances As this distance DO, many persons can judge rightly as so the merits of the demands made by the striking Cleveland CAT men, but avery person realizes that lawlessness and rioting are unlusgi6able and the strikers gre censured therefor.

M'cuMsER SAYS LONG FIGHT
Demand for Free Lumber and Coal by
the West to Be Met by lnsistence Of
! Free Hides and Wool-Democrat
j Express Themselves as Not Con-
eerned Over Vermont Election.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Senator Nc
Cumber, Of North Dakota, who has
Just returned from visits to President
Roosevelt and Taft, today expressed
sthe opinion that THE extra session OF
scongress which is to be called after
the 9TH of next March for the revision
of the tariff, will be of long duration
and that it will witness many stub
born contests over various schedules
which it Is proposed to change. Nc
st1umber.eaid THE west will demand that
sseveraA articles that are now on the
protected list shall be made free OF
duty, and he included lumber and coal
as among those DIN behalf of which a
especially strong fight would be made.
In a general way, he said, this will
be an effort to have made free of duty
all articles the use of which tends to
exhaust them, such as lumber, coal and
iron. McCulnber thought that eastern
manufactured will make a determined
effort to have the duty taken off OF
wool and hides, but said the west will
strongly resist this attempt.

decided in California next week. One

featherweight title in America. The
other two are between Stanley Ketchel,

have met their respective opponents in
previous battles. Ketchell and Papke,
and Moran and Atell will fight on the
afternoon of Sept. z, the former two
at Los Angeles, and the latter at San
Francisco. On Sept. 8, Cans and Mel

the office Of Drs. ]. II. Crippen and

baker of this city. The stranger, who
is described as about five feet eight
inches in height, rather light COM
plexioned, with brown hair, wearing a
seal brown suit and dark derby hat,
and further marked by a prominent
gold front tooth, entered while Mrs.
Long was alone in the office. He asked
if the doctors were in, and upon re-
ceiving a negative reply, attempted to
embrace and kiss her. She resisted his
grasp, and snatched up a razor lying
on the table. In the struggle he gained
possession of it, and she received two
deep gashes in one forearm. Her
screams then frightened the man away,

the volume of cheers to an extent that
made it almost impossible for the two
principals in the scene .Stp, tell what
one was saying to the other.
Meeting Makes Throngs Wild.
Long after the two had taken their
seats and the parade had moved on
the cheering continued. freshened con
tinually by untired voices as new de-
taohments reached the spot.
For two days the city has been ex-
cited by reports that the two leaders
would be brought together at the re-
ception to be held at the Lincoln club
after the parade. But within a few
hours after the publication of the news
it became apparent that no club room
in the city could care for the crowd
that desired to be present. Accordingly
arrangements were made yesterday To
hold the reception in the Lyceum thea
ter.
The whole city was on tip toes oil
expectancy when it became known that
Taft had arrived at the stand and For
aker had appeared near the head OF
the line Of march Those who saw the
senator and realized that the meeting
might take place ahead or time le1'
their position in windows, balconies
and chairs and set forth at top speed
for the official stand. The result was
that this neighborhood was packed foi
blocks. Men could not see what oc-
Cured on the stand but they took theif
cue from the shout which arose from
that location and swelled the volume
of noise till the echoes of 1T could pe
heard a half mile away.
The last of the parade passed the
reviewing stand at 2:50, having been
in progress exactly four hours. The
estimated number of men in line was
5000, and very few dropped out.
