NEW PATENT TREATY IS MADE
United States and Germany Conclude
Convention Advantageous
Both.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA reciprocal
patent treaty between the United States
and Germany which is of far-reaching
Importance to the commercial world, was
simultaneously promulgated at noon today
by President Taft and the emperor Of
Germany. The agreement is Immediately
effective, and is to remain in force until
the expiration of twelve months following
notice of termination by one Of the con-
tracing parties.
The effect will be that foreign manufac-
turers will be relieved of the existing re-
quirement that, in order to sell products
in Germany, they must manufacture them
on the basis of patents in Germany, which
called for investments of large sums of
money in maintaining duplicate plants.
Inventors will greatly benefit from the
fact that the treaty relieves them from the
German restriction under which their pa
tents have hitherto been forfeited IL not
actually worked in Germany within three
years under the new provision 1t will be
sufficient to protect patents in both coun-
tries If they are used for manufacture in
either.

cial)-Although today was sunday-the day

PAR Of the farmers of South Dakota in the
Work Of harvesting the abundant crop
raised In the state this season. The severe

The harvesting OF barley and early oats
now is completed in the greater part OF
the state and is nearing completion in other
sections. The cutting OF wheat has com
menced in the southern counties and before
the close OF this week, with favorable
weather conditions will practically be in
progress in all portions OF the agricultural
part Of the state. Crops generally in sec
tions which have not been swept by hail
ana windstorms are reported in fine con-
dition. with we'll filled heads and plump
berries.
In some localities barley is reported TO
have been damaged about 20 per cent, by
excessively hot weather at the critical
period OF its growth and by high winds
which caused much Of It to crinkle down
SIn these localities binders were at once

Of a political character. the new tariff bill

dlnary session of COD es adjourned be-
fore the end Of this 4k.
Inquiry among ~ .-.,Jrs opposed to the
adoption of the conference report on the
Payne-Aldrich bill indicates that the debate
will not be as extended as it threatened to
be before the conferees reported.
The senate will meet at 10 a. m. tomorrow.
The session probably Will begin at that
hour each day and will continue until s or
Z o'clock p. m. daily until the report is
adopted. IL 1t is found that more senator's
desire TO speak than have already given
notice It is possible that evening sessions
may be held.
AIdrich IN in n Hurry.
Senator Aldrich IL determined that the
conference report shall not be carried over
into next week. He does not expect to
occupy very much time himself. He said
today that he would not speak longer than
an hour or two, and that other members
of the committee would occupy compare.
lively little time.
1t is probable that senators who were OPP
posed to the placing Of hides on the free
ject and that all OF the republicans who
voted against the bill when It was on it's
passage in the senate will take occasion to
,xpiai ntheir action. Some Of these senators
will speak for the adoption of the confer
ence report. and some Of them are expected
To vote in the negative.
No FIIibuster Probable.
Senator Culberson, leader of the minority,
Na
democrats will debate the conference re-
port thoroughly, but will not filibuster
against its adoption. Senators Daniel and
Bailey. members Of the committee on
finance. will speak at length against the
adoption Of the conference report and take
the load. In. ,vsieins democratic opposition
to the new tariff bill.
Some of the senate leaders predict that
a vote will be had on the conference re-
port as arly as Thursday and that the
special session OF congress can be brought
to a close on Friday.
Plans of President.
President Taft will not leave Washington
until the tariff bill becomes a law. After
signing the bill the president will leave
for Beverly. where he will have a stay Of
something more than five weeks bfore
starting on his long trip through the west
and south.
The senate having retained the appro-
priation of S25 900 in the urgent deficiency

only one obstacle remains as a possible bar
TO the strip, That is Mrs. Taft's health.

ranges from $4,000 to $4,000.
Heretofore foreign-built yachts owned by
Americans on their first arrival In the
