Coxcorp, N.H., Dec. 4.—The following is a synopsis of Gov. Goodell’s message as read to the legislature here in joint session last night: It recited all the facts in the case, showing that members who had been elected as the result of increase in population were entitled by con- tutional privilege and by the precedent of 1981 to thelr seats in the next legislature, but that tle statute gave the clerks no express anthority to enter them upon Tolls and to administer the oath that would enable them to participate in the organization of the house. Ue described the status, too, of the up of claimants from the classed towns, showing that although these towns had a clear right to be represented at a time within the ‘iecimal period to be fixed by the legislatnre, the parsons chosen in November ax members of the next house were without any right in law to seats. He urged that the clerk should not Gov. the statutes, but should be relieved by explicit instructions from all responsibility Coxconp, N.H., Dec. 4.—'there was nothing of public interest in the proceedings of the legislature this forenoon. cues ee THE IRISH PRESS.

Parnell, sperate and defiant struggle, has carri with him a large volume of popular feeling in Treiand and the United States. but says that in he has failed. He has suc- g to himself only one-third of the Irish members of the house of commons, ‘The triumph of patriotism over Parncilism is certain. ‘The paper denounces the Clai ana continuance of Mr. Parnell’é obstructive tactics which the majority who bave taken a stand against the fallen dexpot should sternly reject.

Loxpox, Dec. 4.—Sir Joseph Lister, in a speech at King’s College, on his return from Berlin, announced that within a month the world would be startled by twonew discoveries. He said Dr. Koch's transcendingly important consumption cure hinted at and in- volved the cure and prevention of two of the most terrible ‘contagious diseases known. Sir Josep Lister ineswed ex- periments on guinea pigs in which they were inoculated with a new, simple chemical sub- stance, which any one would beable to prepare, and were totally unaffected when germs of these diseases were injected.

The House committee on patents this morn ing ordered a favorable report on bill intro- duced by Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey appoint ing the commissioner of patents and the delegat- esfrom the United States tothe International Patent Congress, held at Madrid last year, a commission to amend and revise the statutes of the United States concerning patents ard trade marks so far as they relate to matters fected by the international patent conventions held at Paris in 1888 and at Madrid in 1890. The commiseion is also to revise the statutes 50 as to bring them into conformity with treaties of the United States. A report is to be made to Congress a8 soon us possible. The commin- sioners are not to receive compensation, but may be allowed expenses not exceeding ££00. Adverse reports were reported on a number of bills to extend the Tife time of individual patents, this action being in accordance with a meral rule laid down by the committee'at one of its early meetings. THE GERMAN PATENT LAW. The committee, through the Department of State. has received an interesting report from Consul General Edwards at Berlin upon the atent avatem of Germany as cuntrasted with t of the U: tes. He calls ‘al attention toa provision of the German law permitting the cancellation of ‘8 patent where the invention is not put in op- eration in Germany within three years. This statute was enacted for the purpose of promot- ing German industries and Mr. Edwards sug- gests that such a law in the United States would stimulate American manufactures.’ He also recommends legislation to prevent under- valuation by — requiring — owners and manvfagturers of patented and_ proprietary articles to make statements for the benefit of custom officers and providing that whenever they are partics to frand upon the revenue their patents and frade marks shall be can- celed. ‘The letter was referred to a subcommittee. TROUBLE OVER THE ANGELUs. The Treasury Department Decides It Liable to $16,500 Duty. Assistant Secretary Spaulding of the ‘Treap- ury Department has rendered a decision, hold- ing that the bondsmen of the famous painting, “The Angelus,” are liable for $16,500 duty on the painting. The circumstances that bring abont this state of affairs are peculiar. “The An- gelus” was imported by R..: H. Plumb, president of — the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, for . exhibition at Buffalo. A warchouse entry was made of the painting at New York city, the value of the painting being stated at $110,000 and the duty on it was 316,500. Bonds were given for. the ment of the duty in case it was sold. While fhe painting was in the custody of Mr. Plamb under the warehouse entry Thomas E.’ Kirby, the owner of the picture, took it out of Mr. Plumb’s custody and carried it with him:to Boston as his personal baggage, where he it on exhibition. No transportation entry was made by Mr. Kirby, throngh ignorance, ‘but this act left the painting without the protection of the warchonse’ entry. e' col customs at Buffalo, N. Y., now asks that the collector of customs'at New York be authorized to imo s certifeate of lading for export for thg painting for the purpose of, canc : warehouse bond. ‘The Rrensury Department, however, holds that the removal of the paint ing from the custody of ‘the officers of eustonis ithout proper authority renders the bonds- men liable for the diitios AMONG THE LAWMAKERS, _ Beef and Provisions for the Sioux—Other ‘Items of Interest. * ‘The Seeretary of the ‘Treasury today trans- mitted to the House of Representatives a com- munication from the Interior Departme: requesting that an appropriation of $100,000 be at once made for the purchase of beet and other provisions for the Sioux Indians on account of the reduced appropriation made for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890. A draft of ‘a bill for ope is submitted with Acting Indian Commisioner Bolt's letter, men- tioned elsewhere. WAITIXG FOR THE VERDICT. ~~? Democratic Senators aro waiting patiently for the’ outcome of republican consulta- tion as to “the order of business in Senate. The republican caucus com- Greater portion of the day, B had come to no conclusion. Ls cratic oe eae ee ‘The action of the Farmers’ Alliance conven tion in protesting against the passage Ef cs fodeest stection bil provoked consider Republicans holding that it proves what has already been ‘asserted by them that the alliance isan attech- ment to the democracy. Representative Lodge spoke of the action with considerable disdain, saying that it would have no effect. Mr. Rowell said that the alliance movement ‘was Promoted by the democrats in their own interests and:this partisan action would not be approved by the western and northern farmers. ‘The farmers, he declared, believed in honest elcctions and the preservation of the Constitu- tion, and that when they came to understand the situation they would not it them- selves to be used by the south. The only per- pass- | sons who would approve the action of the alli- is matter were those who | fa; fanco convention in this ma ee were in favor of repealing or nullifying fifteenth amendment. He thought the of the resolution would cause some trouble, the alliance, : Mr. Comstock (Minn.) said he thought ihe alliance was conducted iargely by its southern branch in the intorest of, the democrats. ns northern and western thought, would find that out Mr. Dingley of Maine said that the alliance Movement was an attachment to the mo~ cratic party. This was so patent, he said, that he thought it would bea failure.” He did not think the farmers of the north and west would be long in finding it ont. The action on the election bill resolution would help them to an understanding of the situation. "He assumed that in '92 the alliance would not put a national ticket in the field, but would instruct the alliance in each state to take such part in the compaignas they thought wise. ‘The purpose of this would be to have alliance candidates running in republican states and to have the democrats indorsed by the alliance in the democratic states. Mr. Carter of Montana suid that the alliance was an orgunization in the interest of the de- mocracy, having its origin in the south, and thut every farmer who was in favor of honest elections. and opposed to fraud, intimidation and bloodshed would favor the passage of the election bill. WILL GO RIGHT ON WITH THE BILL. Republican Senators who favor the election Dill are not much distarbed over the fact that the Farmers’ Alliance has condemned the measure. They say it was nothing more than they expected from ‘an organization com- posed almost exclusively of southern anti- | sdministrationists,” and which they term “the “democratic annex.” It is evident that the majority in the Senate propose to pass the bill 8 soon as possible. THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL. Representative Harmer Does Not Think it Will Become a Law. Representative Harmer is of the opinion that the federal election bill will not become a law. He said yesterday that what the business inter- ests of the country demanded, what the people desired, was a period of rest from agitations. ‘The election bill should be dropped, or it would have a serious effect upon the country. As Jong, he said, as there was constant agi- tation of this and kindred questions cal- calated to disturb the country, men with money to invest in the building up of our industries will hesitate about maki in- vestments. What the business interests de- mand is a period of quietude after the political excitement. If new industries are to be de- veloped under the influence of the new tariff low, he said, there must be no disquieting influ- ences upon business; capital must feel safe to seck investment in any section and in any in- dust pamage of the force bill, he thought, would keep up a ferment which would injure the prosperity of the country and retard the fulfillment of republican expectations as to the beneficial effect of thi tariff law. REAPPORTIONMENT PROBLEM. Representative Frank Says That Men of Both Parties Approve His Bill, Mr. Frank's plan for the apportionment of the United States under the eleventh census seems to mect with very general approval among the more conservative members on both sides of the House; although some of the republicans are in favor of the number of members being fixed at 349 or 351, which would give their party the greates: advantage. Mr. Frank aid to a Star reporter today that his only purpose in preparing the bill was to reach such a basix of apportionment as would be most and free from partisanship. Re- pablicans and democrats both had spoken to im of their approval of the measure. THE PRINTING OFFICE SITE. Condemnation Proceedings to Give the Gov- ernment a Title to Square 628, Another stage has been reached in the move- ment on the part of the government to buy land on which to erect a printing office, that of the first steps in condemnation proceedings. It may be remembered that when the c having purchase of nite in charge—Secretary Windom, Public Printer Palmer and Architect Clarke—decided tosecure the square numbered 628, bounded by North Cupitol, Fast First and North F and streets, it was found, after the first agreement’ had been made with the supposed owner, Mr. C.

For some’ time there has been a certain amount of research going on in the office of the district attorney to get to the bottom of the case, but with no tangible rostilts. ° Accordingly, the commission met Tuesday at the Treasury Department and de- cided to find out, if possible, if the parties offering the property to the government had fected their title, which they had covenanted Todo within a cettin. period that. bad lapged. ‘The commission had communication with the Attorney General on this subject, and a letter ‘came from the Department of day to the effect that the title to not been perfected. ‘Thereupon this morning Secretary Windom, in accordauee with the farther action of the commission, made a re- quost-upon the Attorney General’ to institute Hrocosdings as early as possible for the pur. pose of securing the property by condemna- tion. UNUSUALLY LD WEATHER Prevails All Over the Country East of the Rockies--A Warmer Wave Coming.

BIDS FOR A DRY DOCK. Report of the Commission to Whom the Pro- posals Were Referred. Sceretary Tracy has received a report from the commission of civil engineers of the navy— Messrs, Asserson, Prindle and McCallow—ap- pointed to scrutinize the bids recently received in response to an advertircment for proposals for building a dry dock at the Port Royal naval station, 8.C. These gave some trouble, inasmuch as the only bidder with actual expe- rience in the line of dry-dock building was the highest. ‘The bids were as follows: Justin McCarthy of Washington, £418.91 G. Packard of New York city, £471,000; J. E. Simpson & Co.. of New York’ city, 497.589; C. J. Stolbrand of Charleston, 8.C., $326,620. The board finds that the bids of McCarthy and Simpson have no features justifying ac- ceptance; that Stolbrand’s bid should’ not re- ceive consideration and that the award should go to R. G. Packard with ceftain changes in his plans The board “mentions ythe discovery . wi of Proposed dock Royal is insuficient at Port to admit the new battle ships recently designed. In this connection the board submits the question as to the advisability of constructing any more docks of less capacity than eufiicient to receive the largest classes of vessels now con- templated. In submitti retary Comm the board's report to the Sec- fore Farquhar concurs in ita re- ns commendations and says that if the object made by Simpson a ders were sustaine: inst the other three bi: he would feel satisfied in ipsons the contract im view b ‘kara, on tation, has sent a modification of his plans widening the entrance bottom, which the bureau believes acceptable. If the bid cannot be ac- = the bureau recommends a rejection of all proposals and the issue of a new udvertise- ment. The Secretary will give all the bidders a hearing next Wednesday.

Some weeks ago, as printed at the time in | Tne Stan, the Washington Electric Lighting Company applied to the Commissioners for au- thority and permission to place and maintain its electric wires underground in and along the streets, alleys, highways, footways or side walks of the city, as set forth in a map accom- | Panying the request.

There was a scene in the Police Court today | which for a while looked like the end would be a scrapping match, but it wound up with — a war of words. Lawyer Hewlett and Dumont were the participants. ‘Mr. Dumont was standing at the clerk's desk, and there was a lull in the business, when Lawyer Hewlett stepped up behind him and’ began addressing the court. Mr. Dumont began to object to Hewlett's addressing the court at that time. Mr. Hewlett insisted on his right to address the court and Mr. Dumont was arguing to the | contrary. Both men were talking at the same time, and above the voice of Mr. Dumont Mr. Hew- | lett could be heard to my something about | Jack Brookings, who was under arrest and no | Paper had been filed. | inally Mr. Dumont could be heard above | Hewlett and he said that there was no charge ir. h money out of the boy's han “Don't you say that about me,” shouted the excited colored lawyer.
