During the last several months a large num- ber of complaints have been received at the general land office to the effect that wanton depredations are constantly being committed | upon the forest reservations in the west which have been created by executive order under the authority of the act of March 3, 1891. The attention of Acting Secretary Sims of the Interior Department having been called to the matter by Commissioner Lamoreux, he to- day in a letter to the Secretary of War asks that details of officers of the army, with a sui‘~ able number of men, may be made to polic> these reservations and protectthem from depre- dations. ‘The acting secretary states that in the absence of an appropriation for the purpose the department is powerless to afford the pro- tection needed and hence th Vf The National Association of Saddle and Har- ness Makers at St. Louis last night elected the foliowing officers for the ensuing year: Presi- | dent, C.

The | missioner of Patents Simonds ACQUITTED OF THE CHARGES. ‘The commissioner of patents today rendered a decision in the matter of the charges pro- COMFORT. | ferred by Church & Church against Foster & Freeman and ex-Commissioner Simonds. Messrs. Foster & Freeman are held to be without pacious dinine jcoma and | fault or blame, and the charge of collusion is dismissed. The charges against ex-Commis- sioner Simonds are also dismissed. The de- cision covered nearly 5,000 words and com- prised an exhaustive review of the case. Commissioner Seymour, in his decision, says ‘that upon the complaint of Church & Church, attorneys-at-law, the defendants, Frank L. Freeman, Charles.E. Foster, attorneys, Joseph L. Bennett, chief clerk of the patent office, and ‘Wm. E. Simonds, the former commissioner of the patent office, are charged with wrongfally taking in February and March of this year from the patent office copies of the files and drawings of certain hve pending applications of Daniel Drawbaugh for claimed improvements in telephony. The alleged wrong is set forth in the complaint as accomplished by col- lusion between all the defendants, atid, further, that some or all of the copies were taken by the late commissioner, Mr. Simonds, for use in his practice as an attorney before this office, . Grave Nature of the Charges. “The grave nature of the charges and the distinction and high character of the defen- dante,” says the decision, “demand the most careful consideration of the caso and the close scrutiny of the evidence. It is necessary to recur to the general Principles upon which bel age system rests to rer the true limits of the secrecy practiced respecting appli- cations for claimed inventions on file in this office and under what circumstances it may Inwfully be relaxed. “The true inventor may, if he choose, with- hold from all others all knowledge of his inven- tion. The government holds out to this class inducements to make a full disclosure of their respective discoveries in that it undertakes to secure to them for limited times the exclusive — to their manufacture and sale. first prerequisite of the reward thus offered is the making and filing in this office of # full and candid description of the claimedim- provemeut, not, however, for publication in the rst place, but ‘for criticism and investigation. If the application is found to bave merit and the invention not to have been anticipated the reward is conferred by the issud of the patent based thereon. If tho contrary conclusion is reached by the office the applicant takes nothing for the revelation contained in his specification. As to the Applicant. “The question is whether the spplicant in such latter case has parted with his exclusive dominion over his ideas, whether valuable or otherwise. May he neglect his application and be remitied to his former state? It was claimed in argument that there is nolaw requiriuga pend- ing application for a patent to be kept secret,and that when abandoned any counsel desiring it in litigation has a right to it. Whether one can write a paper describing his invention and depositing it in the Toy office as part of a regular application ‘place it where he him- self may not be compelled to produce it when he becomes a party in court is one thing, and with that question I_have no concern in the decision of this case. The cases cited are all cases of that character. In them the parties could not maintain their standing in court and withhold the admissions expressly or by implication made in the applications which they were asked to produce. ‘The Power of the Office. “But the question in this case is of a differ- ent character. May the patent office itself, upon the request of » stranger to the proceed- ings and in the absence of an interference con- test in the office involving theso papers, properly divulge the contents of applications either pending, rejected or abandoned without the consent of the respective applicants, in the ‘absence of facts clearly showing an abandon- ment of the invention itself and not of the ap- plication merely, or special circumstances from which abandonment of the invention may bein- ferred: am clearly of the opinion that it may not. The patent office is_@ repository of merchant- able ideas susceptible of piracy, and until the tent issues, securing to the applicant is exclusive privilege, the office no right to treat the ideas confided to it as its own, or as belonging to the publie, unless the apple cant himself so treats them, or by implication or otherwise consents that they may be so treated. “In reaching a decision in this case upon the special circumstances shown, it is not intended on the one hand to pass in’ review any official act of the former commissioner of patents, or on the other to approve the official routine un- der which — copies — were _—incon- siderately —_ furnished. I pass now to the specific acts complained of.” At this int Mr. Seymour reviews the charges made f= Church & Church. He desoribes the efforts of Foster & Freeman to obtain copies of cer- those copies were furnished upon the authority of the head of the office. ‘The Charges Dismissed. “The fact that in all these cases written re- quests were regularly made and either expressly granted by the commissioner or assistant com- missioner, or were by necessary implication authorized by the commissioner to be made and furnished, is the sufficient answer to these charges upon the part of Foster & Freeman,unlegs there is ground for holding that the action of the office itself was obtained in some manner by collusion. }, ‘*Lt must be held that no charge against Fos- ter & Freeman or against either of them is tained in reapect of any of these papers, either in procuring the papers themselves for clients, or in acting in any manner in col- vith others to obtain copies for any other he complainants stated themselves that Mr. | Foster was without fault or blame in the prem- ises and requested ina formal manner that the charges against him be dismissed. Upon a careful consideration of the testimony it is held also that Dr. Freeman ts without blame | or fault in the premises. The charge of collu- sion is dismissed.” The charge against ex-Commissioner Simonds are also dismissed. ———— ‘The Bancroft. ‘The miniature battle ship Bancroft arrived at of Superintendent Phythian of the Naval Acad- emy for use in practical instruction of the cadete | im thearts of modern warfare.

The Terms of the Ultimatum Read in the House of Commons. Loxnox, July 21.—In response to questions asked in the house of commons today in regard to the Franco-Siamese dispute Sir Edward Grey, parlimentary secretary of the foreign office, said that the following terms of the ultimatum sent by France to Siam contained in a telegram from Bangkok tallied with those France had communicated to Great Britain, but gave the terms in fuller detail. First, a @ recognition of the rights of Annam and Cam- bodia on the left or eastern bank of the Mekong river; second, the evacuation of the forts held by the Siamese withina month; third, fuil satisfaction for various aggressions against French ships and French sailors on the Menam river; fourth, the punishment of the culprits and provisions for the pecuniary indemnity of the victims; fifth, an indemnity of 2,000,000 francs for v: rious damages sustained by French subjects, and sixth, the immediate deposit of 3,000,000 france to guarantee the payment of the fourth and fifth claims, or the assignment of the taxes in certain districts in lieu of the deposit of 8,000,000 france. ‘Sir Edward Grey stated that he was at present unable to say in what sense or with what geo- graphical limitation the Fronch demand was made. He expected early information from Lord Dufferin, British ambassador to France, whose leave of absence from Paris had been cancelled and who had been ordered to return to his post. A Diplomatic Keply. ‘When asked what steps the government pro- posed to take to avert so serious and wanton calamity as the threatened blockade of the Menam river would be, Sir Edward replied that he could only report that the government was most desirous of a friendly settlement of the dispute. He could not at present announce that any definite steps had been taken. Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, conservative member for the Ecclesall division of Sheftield, pressed the government to obtain an extension of the period granted in the ultimatum. Sir Edward said be did not think that such interference would conduce to a friendly settle- ment of the question. This statement was reeted with cries of “Hear, Hear.” Sir Elli ked if the ultimatum might not becor fait accompli before Great Britain received France's answer. Sir Edward replied that as regards the only point really concerning Great Britain, namely the territorial arrangements, the government was still in communication with the govern- ment of France. No geographical limitation had yet been laid down. Telegraph Wires Cut. Saraox, July 21.—The land telegraph wires between this city and Bangkok have been cut by the Siamese, This will cause some delay in the transmission of dispatches to the French war ship at Bangkok, as all messages will have to be sent via Singapore, Madras Calcutta and thence through Burmah and down the Bay of Bengal, and so on over the line that extends northeastlerly from Bangkok to Ele- phant Point, ——.—_—_ Switzerland Accepts, from U. 8. Minister Broadhead at Berne, stat- ing that the Swiss minister here, Alfred de Claparede, had been appointed one of the com- missioners to settle the Chilian-American claims. The commission will meet in the diplo- matic room at the State Department next Tues- day and will be received by Secretary Gresham. pale mice ae tere Contracts for Steel Forgings. Contracts for over $500,000 worth of steel forgings have been awarded by the Navy De- partment to the Bethlehem iron works and the Midvale Steel Company in equal shares, These forgings are for the construction of guns for the cruiser Brooklyn, the corvette Essex and the three new gunboats. The Bethlehem Com- pany will furnish the forgings for the five and twelve-inch guns and the Midvale Company for the three, four and eight-inch guns. The con- tract rates for these forgings are much less than under previous contracts and ordnance officers ‘are very much encouraged thereat. The $500,- not involve the entire expense of supplying the ships mentioned with ordnance, as it is esti- mated that it will require $235,000 more for assembling and completing the guns at the Washiogton gun foundry. sites BERT Personal.
