An attempt, however, will be made by free- traders in the House to forces the Ways and Means Committee to report somo of the dit- feront mensures beforo it, even adversely, as an adverse report would bring the subject matter before the Tlouso for action as well as would a favor- able ‘one. ‘Chey ‘think that — they a majority vote could be secured; but it'is understood to be the purpose of the protec- tlonists of the Ways and Means Committeo not to report any measures, even adversely, amd, if they do not, it is difficuitto seo how any bill to change tho tariff! can bo brought before the House for passago bya majority vote, . ‘TIE BUGAR QUESTION.

Boretal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasminatoy, D. CG, April i4—At the night session of the House, Mr. Harris re- ported from the Nava! Comittee hls bill to provide for a construction fund for the or- ganization of anavy by the sale of old and worn-out materials; this fund to be ailded ta fram tlme to time by appropriations by Congress, Mr, Harris made n ‘statement In sttpport of tho DI, In which the present;con- dition of tho navy was sct forth and con- trasted with that of England. Ono fact was brought out of interest, namely, that in the art of gunnery tho Ainer- feans arc {n advance of European countries. Between 1865 and 1877 $41,800,000 have been expanded an the navy. In answer to an in- aulry by Mr. Conger, It was stated that tho life of a Ive-onk sulling vessel was many yeurs, but for steam vessels the duration was necessarily much shortened; while a white- oak vessel wouldn't Inst until It is dished. An amendment was adopted which forbids ‘an expeniiture of: more than $1,000,000 cach year in this fund, Mr. Converse ridicules the Idea of building up a navy of the United States upon $1,000,000 n year. THE NAVY of the United States {s the tenth In rank in the world, or, perhaps, the thirteenth, when {tought to be the first or the second. ‘Tho proper way to build upa nayy is to let the Reaple know whut is wanted, and appeal to thelr patriotism. ‘They will give $10,000,000, or even $20,000,000 0 year, instead of $1,000,- 000. This mode of buildln; up the navy is like boring an auger-hole with a gimlet, Mr, Whitthorne ventured to say gist, if the Naval Commilttes should cdime for- ward with no bill to expend that amount of money, they would havo Ohio to fight. Mr. Converse sald he could pledge the Ohio delegation to support stich a proposition, Mr, Whiithorne called the attention of the Chair to this promise on the past of the from Ohio, and said ha would alve Ohio a chances to put Itself on record before the session was aver. Some other bills of minor {mporfance were considered, and then the Committee rose and the previous question ordered, on the Iarrls bill, and also on a dill to organize an expedition to the North Pole; but, the fact that no quorum was pres- ent being developed, the House adjourned. - CROOKED WORK. ‘THE ADMINISTRATION OF DISTRICT APFAINS.

Some interesting testl- mmony was taken to-day. by the House Com- mitteo on the District of Columbia {n its con- sideration of tho lssue of drawback cortifi- cates by the District Commissioners, Ac- cording to the testimony of the custodian of the building occupied by the District Com- missioners, he kept a record of the names of all porsons admitted to tho bullding at might. It appears that nmong the con- stant night visitors to the building In September, October, and November, 1879, wera two brokers who have been doing a heavy business In drawback certificates, On being asked how the brokers were occupied during these night visits, tho witness replied: “They were sitting at the table working.at papers, apparently engaged in the same work that the clerks of the oflice wore engaged in.” This night-work nppenrs to have been quite exhausting, for the same witness testi- fled as follows: “It occurred frequently while the brokers were in the office at night that baskets of champagne and rofreshments were bronght in; don’t_ know who pald for ese refreshinenis, Lunch. wag never brought in for tho clerks nt night, except whon tho brokers were In the affice,” IT APPEARS THAT the brokers wore accustomed to visit the building a6 all hours of the night and on Sundays, and that they had free access to the publle records during these visits, On theso occasions the District Commissioners were represented by Mr, Bea}, Clork In charge of special improvements, and wy Mr, Roome, Chief Clerk of Engineers’ Department of the District, ‘Tho Intter gentlemun testified to-day that he did not know whro paid for tho avine and lunches, and that he “did not care,” Tho District Committee, concluded the taking of testimony to-~tay, Itls under- stood that a portion of the evidence taken will bo turned over to the District-At- torney, and that the attention of the Grand Jury will bo called tolt. Mr Roome appenrs to have been allowed to ex- erelse a diseretion which should have been reserved by tho District, Commissioners to themselves, ‘They were the only persons at- thorized by Inw to exercise discretion in the allowance of drawbacks, but they took it upon themselves to confide that power to a inere clerk, who was not aven required to give a bond for the faithful performance of his du- ties. Boreovyr, Mr. Roome, to whom they gave this Inrge power and responsibility, was once employed In tho office of tho United States ‘Trensurer, and it is sald on trust- worthy authority that ho left that employ. ment ‘under suspicion,” although nothing was proved against hin. : pentlsnints “‘DILATORINESS, WORK ENOUGH VOR FIVE YEARS.

C., April 14.—The House Patents Committee will enter upon an hni- quiry Tuesday next In which the proprietors of pulp patents aud papermakers will have THE CHICAGO TRIBUN THURSDAY, APRIL 15, Means Committee, The bill, Introduced by Springer, of Illinols, is pending before the Patents Committee, It proposes to repeal the act by which Sn Mareh, 1877, what ts known os tho Voelter wood-pulp patent was extended. The main question which now appears to trouble members of the Commit- tee who have considered the subject fs, whether or not Congress ins the power to repeal a law! granting or extending n patent under Which rights may have rested, ‘The supporters of the patent main- taln that Congress has not such authority, and that a patent cannot be rescinded by act of Congress. ‘lownshend, of [inots, of the Patents Committee, who hag taken a deep in- terest In the subject, and isin favor of an- nulling the patent, lias been examining authorities, and thinks that the Supreme Court, In its decision on the Chicago elevator ease, has Inid down'a principle under which A patent can be canceled by act ot Congress. ‘That decision held that any Inw which Branted n franchise could be modified or re- pealed. by the power creating It, and, by parity of reasoning, It fs argued that «A LAW CREATING A PATENT, Irrespective of rights that may have rested under It, may, in the sense that a patent ts a franchise, be revoked, ‘The ground upon which dis auoyetrent Sirali ee Waettae te roceeds is the charge tint the exten- Te ee obtalned tirana bad faith, ff not by fraud. Mr. Springer, who introduced the niin, aitys that the prtent could not have been extended lid a single objection been matte. Ag the Senate bill was upon the Speaker's table_in the closing hours of the last day of that Congress a imotion was nnde to take It up, when Mr, Springer objected: hut, owing to the most desperate representations to him on the part, he says, of dlr. Stowell, thon a member of Comgress from Virginia, that an extension of thy patent could injure nobody, while it would greatly benefit a wretehedly poor man who had spent his all in the cause of sclened, Mr. Springer was Induced to withdraw his objection. Mr. Springer seems to entertain the opinion that at that tinea * {yretchedly poor man? had no Interest In, the patent, and that it was owned then, ag it is now, by a coinbination of capliniists who used itin the interests of a monopoly, and te oppress the purchasers of paper andthe public. 1t 1s tis’ misrepre- sentation which Mr. Springer thinks was fraud upon the House, and but for it the bill could not have passed, Mr. Springer wll stnte these facts to the Patents Commitice at the hearing. WESTERN BIIT-CANALS, Representatives Calkins and Cowaill, of In- diana, were before the House Committes on Railways and Canals to recommend the pas- snge of one of several bills now on the duck- et of that Committes which provides for the survey and estliuimtes of the cost of the con- struction of aship-eanal from Lake Erie to Lake Michigan to connect ‘Toledo and Chi- cago. The line of the projected eanul will be along tho route of tho oltt Wabash & Erio from Toledo ton point near Logansport on the Wabash; thence by the Kankakeo Hiver to Chicago. Ittis the belfef of old engineers who are familiar with the ground that this route will present fewer difiicultics than any other. There will bo nowhere on. the line a greater elevation than thirty-five feet, whieh enn bo overcoine at comparatively ssnall cost. ‘The construction of the [linols River Ship Canal westward from Chicago would, by connecting with the Wabast & Erle, form sr eontnoNs route from Now Orleans to uffalo.
