Mr. Maguire of California has introduced the following resolution in the House: “Whereas it is currently reported that on the 17th day of February, 180s, the govern- ment-aided portion of the Kansas Pacific railroad was scld on foreclosure to satisfy a first-mortgage lien thereo consent of the Attorney G repre- senting the United States government, for a price insufficient to pay the claim and lien of the government of the United States Upon said railroad, by end through which sale the government of the United States ts alleged to have lost $6,700,000 on account of its said lien and claim; and “Whereas by the terms of the act of Con- gress approved March %, ISS7, the President of the United States was expressly requir- ed, in the event of any danger of loss to the government ou account of its claim and lien against said railroad, to redeem said rail- read from all Lens and mortgages prior to that of the United States government, and by proper proceedings to have th> United Staies government subrogated to the righis of si prior lien holder: ad “Whereas Congress has not been official- ly advised of the facts concerning said sale or of the reasons which influenced ths Presi- dent of the United States to permit the rail- road to be sold on foreclosure at a price in- volving a loss of 1,000 to the United States government on account of its said claim and lien: Therefore, “Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to inform this House of the facts concerning the sale, of the course pursued by the executive depart- ment of the government in protecting the interests of the United States government i spect to its lien and elaim upon the railroad, and to fully advise this House as to his reasons for failing to redeem the railroad from the prior mortgages and liens resting thereon, and for permitting said railroad to be sold on foreclosure at a price inadequate to protect the government and insufficient to pay the claim of the govern- ment upon the*railroad.” Mr. Maguire also introduced a resolution reciting that the Central Pacific Railway Company and Western Pacific are indebted to the government in the sum of $59,000,000, and that no steps have been taken by the executive department oc the government to foreclose the lien. The resolution provides: “That the President of the United States be requested to inform the House of the pres- ent status of the claims of the United States government against said Central Pa- cific railroad and Western Pacific railroad, and to advise this House as to any proposed or contemplated action in the premises, and as to his reasons for delaying the fore- closure of the government's liens on the railroads and for postponing action in the matter of r2deeming said railroads from the prior liens resting thereon, for the protec- tion and benefit of the United States gov- ernment, as required by the terms of the acts of Congress approved May 7, 1878, and March 3, 1857, respectively.” ° TO GUIDE RECRUITING OFFICERS. Instructions Issued by the War De- partment. The War Department has issued instruc- ticns for the guidance of the officers of the volunteer army detailed to recruit for their own orgenizations to fill them to the maxi- mom strength, under the second call of the President for 75,000 men. Applicants for enlistment must be between eighteen and forty-five years, of good character and abi able-bodied, free from disease, and must be able to speak the English lan- gtege. Married men will be enlisted only upon the approval of the regimental com- mander. Minors must not be enlisted with- out the written consent of a parent or guardian. The term of service is two years. For infantry and artillery the weight must not be less than 120, and not mere than 199 pounds, and for cavalry the weigat is not to exceed 165 pounds, though recruit- ing officers are authorized, in their diser, ticn, to accept desirable applicants ten pocnds or less over weight or under weight. For a regiment the maximum of all grades, com icned and enlisted, must not exceed 1,326 in infantry or 1, in cavalry. Fer a company the maximum of all grades is 106 in infantr, 1 luo in cava in field artillery and 200 in heavy artil y. Wherever practicable the choice by ecepted applicant of a particular com- pany of the regiment or other organization for which the recruiting officer is making enlistments should be respected. —— ae THE LIFE OF PATENTS. Report om House Bill to Correct an Error. A bill of importance to persons interested in patents (House bill 7871) has been re- pored by the House committee on patents. The report on the bill say: “The Fifty-fourth Congress amended sec tion 4887 uf the Revised Statutes. Such amendment as it originally passed the House of Representatives was made to take effect at once. The Senate added an amendment exending the time to January 1, 1898. Such Senate amendment was cun- curred in by the House. It now transpires that the phraseology used unintentionally failed to repeal the old section 4887, so that there are now on the statutes two sections 4887 of the Revised Statutes. “The purpose of the present bill is to cor- rect this error by repexling the old section and thus leaving only oae section 4887 of the Revised Statutes. “The limitation of the term of American patents by foreign patents is a great hard- ship. It was so recognized by the adoption of the amerded seciion during fourth Congress. The applicant country cannot control the tine when his patent shall issue.

Now, an opponent in an interference proceeding, finding that the true inventor has taken patents abroad, though he may not be abie to defeat the true inventor, may delay the issuance of the patent for years, and when the true inventor finally obtains his patent it Is for a term which may be limited to but a few years. “As to all applications filed on or xfter January 1, 1898, the opportunity for this is entirely wiped out by the act upproved March 8, 1897. It is but fair and just for the United States to relieve present as well as future applicants from this hardship, and no opposition can be ma:ie to it ex- cept by those who are seeking to defeat rights to patents by delaying their issnance through dilatory proceedings in interfer- “It is an absurdity and creates contusion to have existing at one and the same time two sections 4887 of the Revised Statutes.

HIGHWAY EXTENSION Passage of the Bill by the Senate Yesterday Afternoon, AMENDED BY DISTRICT COMMITTEE a Objectionable Features of the Ex- isting Act Eliminated. ——___ TO GO TO CONFERENCE Now The highway bill was called up in the Senate late yesterday afternoon, and after a brief discussion was passed. The bill as passed comprised the amend- ments to the House repeal bill, which were reported from the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, with several amend- ments to the amendments offered in the Senate by Mr. Gorman and Mr. Cockrell, Mr. Gorman proposed an amendment to section 2 of the committee amendment, providing that the map known as section 1 be annulled to make it read “so far as it covers existing subdivisions.” Another amendment offered by Mr. Gorman was the following, to be inserted after the word “map,” at the end of section “And within ninety days from the pas- sage of this act to prepare amended plans for that part of section 1 outside of the existing subdivisions under the terms of sections 1 to 5 of said act, and said amend- ed plans when recorded by the surveyor shall take the place and stand for any previous plans of section 1.” The amendments were not antagonized, and they were adopte ction 3 of the committee amendment provided that the Commissioners may abandon or readjust streets in order “to Provide grounds for educational, religious or similar institutions, or for large es- ates,” &c. Mr. Cockrell read this section and said the words r large estates” should come out. They are the very places of all others, he said, that ought to be made to conform to the streets and sub- divisions of the city. Mr. Gallinger said he did not know the purpose of that language, but he would make no objection to it, and the ques- tion could be considered in conference. Mr. Cockrell's suggestion was then put in the form of a motion and the -vords re- ferred to were stricken out. The Bill asx Passed. As amended the bill was then passed, and reads as follows: “That sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1t, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the act of Congress arproved March 2, 1883, entitled “An act to provide a permanent system of highways in that part of the District of Columbia lying outside of cities’ be, and the same are hereby, repealed. ‘Sec. 2. That the map known as ‘section 1," filed in the office of the surveyor of the District of Columbia on the 3ist day of August, 1895, under the provisions of said act of Congress be, and th> same is hereby, annulled so far as it covers existing subdi- visions, and the Commisetoners of the Dis- trict of Columbia are hereby authorized and directed to forthwith withdraw the same from the office of the said surv2yor and to discontinue all pending condemnation pro- ceedings relating to subdivisions included within said map, and within ninety days from the passage of this act to prepare amended plans for that part of section 1 outside of ths existing subdivisions under the terms of sections 1 to 5 of said act, and vaid amended plans when recorded by the surveyor shall take the place and stand for any previous plans of section 1. “Sec. 3. That in order to provide grounds for educational, religious or similar in- stitutions, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia be, and they are hereby, authorized to abandon or read- just streets or proposed streets affecting lo- calitias that may be or that have been pur- chased for such purposes: Provided, That under the authority hereby conferred no changes shall be made in existing subdivis- fons or in avenues or in important lines of travel. “The plat of such readjustment, after be- ing duly certified by said Commissioners, skall be forwarded to the commission con- isting of the Secretary of War, the Secre+ tary of the Interior and the chief of en- sinters of the United States army, and When approved by seid commission or a majority thereof the change shall be corded in the office of the surveyor of the District of Columbia and become a part of the permanent syst>m of highways, and take the place of any part inconsistent therewith. “Sec. 4. That no subdivision or subdiyis- fons made and recorded in section 1 of the highway plans prior to the date of the ap- proval of this act shall be affected or in any way changed by any map heretofore approved and recorded or that may be here- after approved and recorded under ihe pro- visions of this act or of the act her-by amended; and no highways shall be located in section 1 through any unsubdivided or subdivided lands south of the Spring road that borders Holmead Manor, except such as are necessary to continue or connect 2x- isting streets abutting such lands. That the owner or owners of land over or upon which any highway or reser- vation shall be projected upon any map filed under said act of Congress shall have the free right to the use and enjoyment of the same for building or any other lawful purpose, and the free right to transfer the title thereof, until proceedings looking \o the condemnation of such land shall have been authorized and actually begun. And as to any highway or part of highway which by any such map is to be abandoned neither the right of those occupying or. owning land abutting thereon or adjacent thereto ner the right of the public to use such highway or part of highway shall be, affected by the filing of such map until condemnation proceedings looking to the ascertainment of the damages resulting. from such proposed abandonment shail have been authorized and actually begu: nor shall the obligation of the municipal authorities to keep the same in repair be affected until they are rendered useless by the opening and improvement of new high: ways, to be evidenced by public notice by the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia. “Sec. 6. That said Commis mission created by section 2 of said act an map or plan thereunder until the owners of the land within the territory embraced within such map shall have been given an opportunity to be heard in regard thereto, by said Commissioners, after public notice to that effect for not less than fourteen ecnsecutive days, excluding Sundays.” Will Be Considered in Conference, The highway bill will be promptly con- sidered by conference committee of both s of Congress.
