2 ORIO'S SENATORIAL ~ PRIZE. Sherman and Foraker Have a Preliminary Trial of Strength, RESULT OF THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST. Sherman M tory for the Old Warhorse of the Day nterviews, \ See in it an Augury of Vie Tncldents mbus— Corumnrs, O., Jan. 2, —The senatorial con- test is still unsolved. ‘I'he speakership voh- test is over, Laylin, the Sherman candidate, is nominated, but the result has failed to bring that choerful acquioscence in the inev- itable tyat the Sherman people so confidently expected from Foraker and his followers. Indeed, the doughty ex-governor has lost nono of that conviction of ultimate success which has characterized bis action throughout, if his words and outward demeanor tonight are any criterion of his inward thoughts, The Sher- man men say that the fight is over, that all that remains 18 but perfunctory formality. ‘Ihe Foraker mea say that the fight is just beeiuning to get interesting, that subordinate issues are now out of the way and the field is only cleared for the great senatorial contest that is to retire John Shorman from tho United States senate aud pluce J. B, Foraker at the bead of the republican purty in Ohio. There is ono other prominent Ohio repub- lican besides Senator Sherman who does not share this view of the loyal friends of the ex-governor. Ho is Hon, Charles [oster, a member of President Harrison's cabinet, and secretary of the national treasury. Congratulated by Foster, Hon, John Sherman: Accept m congratulations, * CuARLES This is the message which Secretary Fos ter sent 1o Senator Shermau this afternoon ns s00n as ho had read the Associated pros bulletin at Washington announcing that the Foraker candidate for the spenkership hud been beaten by the Sherman man by a vote of 38 to 4. “Foster has beon all tho time the agent of the aamimstration in the effort to elect Sherman, and this telegram is but a scheme to demoralize our forces and cause o stam- pede to Sterman,” says Georgo Cox of Cin cinnati, the chief lisutenant of ex-Goveruor Foraker and the man whom the Sherman press of Ohio denominates the *‘Sachem of the republican Tammany of Hamilton county.” K Mr., Cox aoes not stop with this, but says much more, *The speakership fight, we have always contended, was not fought” on senatorial lines,” says he, ‘It is not a fair test. A aumber of our men voted for Laylin becauso they were pl:dged to him long months ago. . Say to the people of the nation that J. B. Poraker will vet succeed Sherman in the United States senate. We aro teling no secrots aud naming no men, but we know where the votes are and we know that we will win.” Foraker Not Discouraged, “I am not discouraged,” said Kx-Governor Foraker, calmly, tut_decisively, “and [ still expect to win, The speakership contest is not the senatorial contest. One has been settled, the othor is vet to be fcught, Five men voted for Laylin who will vote for mo for United States senator. 1 knew the would so vote, and, therefore, the speakol ship caucus has furnished no surprises for me. Inthe senatorial caucus of nexu week will the sevatorial battle be fought and won." Thera was an air of intense discourage- ment in the Foraker quarters immediately after the speakership ocaucus, but the cheer- ful words of the ex-governor soou restored a feeling of confidence. *‘All is not losst, wera the words of the Foraker men first re- peated to each other. Subsequently this gave way to “‘We are in the fight to stay:” and tonight the ouly words we hear are, “Foraker will win yet; wait for the cau- ) sincero Thus by easy graduation the spirits in tho Foraker thermometor have mounted, until tonight the Foraker phalanx have appareotly forgotten the very cold wave that swept over their camp but a few hours since. Around tue headjuarters of Senator Sher- man this evening was all the cheerfulness of expectant victory. It is claimed by the senator’s friends, and appacently conceded by the opposition, that Sherman would have a decided majority in the senate, and the spoakership having peen fought on sen- atorirl lines und Laylin, the Sherman canai- date selected by a wajority of four, the friends of Senator Sherman quito nat? urally regard the contest as even and con- gratulated tne veteran statesman on his vi tory. Senator Sherman himself, who all along kas manifested not the slightest noeas- iness over the final vesult, grasped oach .of his callers by tho hand and thanked the visitor for his call and his congratuiations. erman Interview “The Associated Press would like tn know, sonator, how you regard the situation now," he was'asked. *“Vory favorably,” re- ‘plied the senator in atoneof quiot assur- ance which gave evidence that he, too, like bis friends, regarded the battlo us practically fougnt and won, ““Dho speakership contest.” continued ho, “has been, it is geuorally conceded, fought upon senatorial lines. Three or four of my triends voted for Mr. McGrow and _three or four of Goveruor Foraier’s friends voted for Laylin. Both Laylin and McGrew baing old members of respectable standiug, each natur- ally had personal friends who voted for him ou'personal grounds. But the great body of reprosentatives voted upon senatorial lines. T consider that tho interchauge of votes was. about equal, so that, approximately, tho house might' be said to contain_tbirty-four Foraker meu and thirty-oight friendly to mo. In the senate think it will be. ard itis, conceded that a large majority—ssme say nearly 2 to 1—are friendly to me.” “What do you expoot your majority to be in the jowt caucus ! Oh, I caw’t say 8s to tho figures,” re plied the senator with a pleasant s:=nilo of confidence. I expect to be nominuted, aua 1dono know that the figures ave at wl muterial.” ‘When do expect tho sonatorial caucus to b held " I donot know. That is a matter with which 1 huye not got anything to do. it is settled bp the members of the two houses themselyes.” Senator Sherman loft the city at 6 o'clock this ovening for Luncaster, O., where ho will spend Sunday with his sister. the First Raclng Under the Now Kegime, New Orieans, Lo, Jan. 2.--The winter *moating opened today ander its new auspices and bids falr to bo a success.

Soldiers —All soldiers of the United States who incurred disability of a permanent na- ture, whether wound, injury or aisease, while in the service or line of duty, are entitled to & pension at rates varying from $4 to $72 per month, accoralug to the naturs and severity of thedisability. ADDITIONAL. Soldiers who draw a pension for one or moro disabilities, ana are at th samo timo suffering from other disabilities incurreds n the service and line of duty, may obtain ad ditional pension therefor. INCREASE UNDER OLD LAW. Soldiors pensiotied ot less than 830 per month, and wholly disablea for whe perform- anco of manual labor by reason of disability on account of which they aro pensionod, are o titiod to increaso of pension to that amount per month, aud if the disability is sueh that they require the regular aid and attendance of another per- son, they may obtain ponsion at the rate ot §72 per month, Any pensioner under tho old law, whose disability has increased since date of the issue of his last pension certiticate, may ob tain au increase of pension proportionate to the increase of his disability. ADDITIONAL NEW LAW. Soldiers peusioned at less than $12 per month for disubility incurred in the service, who are also suffering from otker disability of any nature, not due to vicious habits, may obtain additional pension under the new aw. Tuis pension commences from tho date of filing the claim and cannot exceed $12 per month, The new law is of special ad- vantage to this class of pensioners, for the reason that if they have a disability other than that for which they are pensionad, they may obtain additional relief from date of fil- ing claim, and 1f, in the future, the disability for which thoy were originally pensioned underthe old 18w Increases to sich au extent as to cntitle them to more than $12 per mounth, they may surrender their pension under the new law and resumo the ponsion under the old law at sucn increased rate as may be proportionate to the degree of dis- ability at that ime. Pensioners at less than §(2 por month, de- siring increase of ponsiou, will find it to their advantago to apply under both the old aad new law, for the reason that any increase up 1 $12 per month will date from the day the claim is filed in the pension bureaa, whereas a claim for increase under the old law, will secure increased pension auty from the date |.of examination, which, on account of tho work in the pension bureau being very much delayed,is usually some months aftor the date of filing the claim. IN GASE OF NEW LAW PENSION Any invalid pensioner under’the new law receiving iess than $12 per wonth may obtain an increaso of pension whenever the disabil- ity on account of which he is pensioued in- crenses in severity ton material extent, or ho may procure additional pension up to §12 per montn on account of aay new or additional disability which he has incurred since his | last medical examination or which is not - cluded in bis present pension cortificate. NEW LAW. Any soldier of the United States who sorved niuety days or more in the war of the rebellion, and was honorably discharged, may obtain pension under the new law if now suf fering from any disability of a permanent na ture, not due to vicious habits. This pen- sion will commence from date of filing the claim, and the rate of ponsion is from 8 to $12 per month, according to tho degree of dis- ability for tne performance of manual labor. Title to the pension is solely dependent upon & service of ninety days, an honorable discharge and the present existence of a disubility, physical or mdntal, not due to vicious habits, which causes a partial inabil - ity to perform manual laboras a means of live- hihood, equal to the degree of disability re- quired to entitle a_pensioner under the old low to a ponsion of 86 per month or more, It does not matter what the disability is, if not due to vicious habits, whether wound, injury or disease, nor i3 the time and place of the oriwin or incurrence of the same in any way matorial. Title to pension under this law is nu way dependent upon the soldier's pecuniary ci cumstances, The fact that he js able to per- form skilled or professional labor to such an extent as to enable him to earn a comfort- able support, or the fact that he has an in- come sufficieat for his support, has no bear- ng upon his title 1o pension under this law WIDOWS, . The widows of soldiers who died from dis- ease, wound, or injury incurred in tho United States service are eatitled to §12 per month, and $1 addivional for each child under the age of 16 yoars, to dato from the day of the soldier’s death, except in cases where the death occurred prior to March 10, 1856, when the rate is $3 per month up to said date and $12 per month thereaftor. WIDOWS' NEW LAW. The widows of soldiers who sérved ninety days or more in the late war and were horor- ably discharged are eutitied to penston under the new 1w at the rate of 8 per month, and #2 additional for each child under the age of 16 years; provided, that the widow was mar- riod to the soldier prior to June 27, 1500, and is now dependent in whole or in part on ner own labor for her support. This ponsion commences from the date of filing the application therefor, aud is payable whether the soldier’s death was ¢ aused by disease or injury incurred in the United States service or not. Widows may obtain pension under the new law peuding the settlement of theic claims to pension under the old law without losing any rights which acerue to them under the oid law. 1f o widow receives a pension under tne new law, and afterwards ostablishes bor right to & pension under the old law, she will recelve pension for the who e period from tho date of the soldier’s death, less the pen- sion which nas been paid to her in the mean- time under the new law; in other words, she will receive an aaditional $ per month for the whole of the pariod during which sho drew pension under the new law, and in addi- tion thoreto, pension from the dato the sol- dier died to the date of the commencement of the now law peusion, ‘Whenever asoldier or sailor of tne late war dies from causes originating in the serv- ice und line of duty, leaving no widow, his children under sixteen years of age are on- uitled to all the pension fo which the widow would have been entitled were shoe living, up 1o the date the youngest bocomes 16 years of ago.

Savtiaco, Chili (via Galveston, Tex.), Jah, 1,—[By Mexican Cabls to tho New York Herala ecial to Tur Bee |—The composition of President Montt's cabinet is definitely settled. Louis Pereira has finally accepted the portfolio of minister of foreign affairs and Blanco Viel that of war. 'They have ontered into the duties of their ro- spective departments, The cabinet 1 generally approved by the pross and the peoplo of the country. Some reluctance was felt by some members of the cabinet to taking office because the exact situation of affairs between the United States and Chili was not known. 'hero seems to be a disposition to come to terms with the United States provided an amicable arrange- ment can be made which will not humiliate Chili, Thoy ¥ o 1am informed that there 1s a likelihood that the note of the late minister of foreign affairs, Scnor Matta, which caused such of- fense to the govornment at Washingion, may bo withdrawn. At all events it is probablo that such action will engage the attention of the new cabinet at an_early date. It is stated that the Moneda has been ad vised to withdraw the Matta mnote, and in conversation with a member of the new cabi- net he said the cabinet would take up the question as svon us the report of the court on the Baltimoroe affair is made. No apprehen- sion of & rupture is felt, he said, despite the state of public feeling on the subject. W Like to Arbitrate, Acting presumably under - instructions from his government, Mr. Kennedy, the British minister, has been advising Presi- dent Montt’s government to make reasonable torms with the United States. Herr Gutt- schmidt, the German minister, has offered the services of his government as arbitvator betwoen the two countries, butin view of the continued insults to.our legation, both covert and openly displayea, it is hardly thought possible thwt the proposition to submit tho trot bles to arbitration will be entertuined.

United States Troops and Ran Route Garza's Tnvaders in n Fight, SaN Axtoxi0, Tex., Jan. 1,—The alarm on the border over the Gurza revolutionary up rising is becoming intense. There are many startliog rumors 1n eirculation councerning the fate of the United States troops that are concentrated in Starr and Duaval counties, in which section Garza has established his prin- cipal receuiting station. He is known to have a force of 500 desperate men, and if the 1,000 Mexican troops, who are reported to | have murdered and deserted General Gareia, commander at, Mier, Mex , have made their way to Garza's stronghold on tho Texas side, their united forces would give Captain John . Bourke and his 150 United States troops a hard fight, ieneral Stanloy and the other military au- thorities are very uneasy over not receivin any information from the seat of war during the past forty-eight hours, The locality whera tho field operations are now supposed to be carried on is fully 120 miles from a telegraph station. It would not be at all irapossible for Garza with a force of 1,200 men to capture Fort Ringeold and the wholo force of United States troops in that section of the frontier. He has threatened on several occasions to tako Fort Ringgold if it bacame necessary for him to secure food and military supplies. If opportunity has occurred it is not improbable to believe that he has executed his threats. General Stanley will send two more troops of cavalry to tho scene of the disturbanco carly tomorrow morniag. 1f it becomes nec- essary adaitional troops will bo sent to tho front from the othor military departmonts. Garza has spies in this city who keep him fuily posted of every maveuver of the troops, and if the rumored revolt of the Mexican soldiers at Mier to join his standard is cor- rect, it is believed that the population of northern Mexico will flock to his standard vapidly. The recent persecutions of Catholic clergy has heightened the disaffection toward the government, und all the peoplo ore wait- ing for to join the revolutionary movement 1s the prospects of its success. Iurther news is nwaited here with much anxiety. 110 Graxpe Crry, Text, Jun, 1.—Tha 7o lowing report hus been received from Captain Hardie, G troop, Thiva cavaly by courter: I struck the camp of about 200 of Garza's followers on the 20th inst at sundown in a dense chapparel near Garcia’s ranch with no casualies on our side.

Haknie,” Japtains Bourke aud McCay returned to this place last night and the following report was made to department heudquarters by Captain Bourke: “Hardie has with him Captamn Bourke's company of Texas rangers and a force of deputy marshals under Deputy Marshal Vanpryer, a posso under Sherifi Haines of Carrizo, and some Mexican trailers sent im by General Lovenzo Garcia of the Mexican army. Thero are two companies under Beach and Short just down from San Autonio. The bandits scatterod in the chapparel at sundown, aud 1 do not think they will fight_much unless thoy get caught in the toil McCay and I left Hardie this morning ana came across country to Pinemo, tweyty mites.”The groat danger is that these bandits will broak into small squads and plunder traveiers.

The boys ob- tained horns to assist in welcoming the new vear, but sceing Lee at State and Madison streets, one of the merrymakers thrust a horn to his ear and biew. He re- taliated by smasbing the horn. ‘The corver is the most central point in the city and, seemingly, in a twinkling, balf a thousand boys with horus gathered and vociferously crowded around the now frenzied Lee. A voice in the crowd shouted, kill the heathen,” another, *‘throw him in the lake.” All were anxious for excite- ment and scarcely had the lattersproposition been made before 1t was shouted over and over by hundreds.

Directions to Inventors Issued by The Beo Bureau of Olaims, METHODS OF THE PATENT OFFICE, The Course Follow tventi by the Author of His Rights 'y an " to To the inventor the all important question presents [tself, “How can I securoa patont!”’ #nd to this Tir Bre Bureau oftors the fol lowing explanation : L4 Inventors as a clasy are not familiar with tho laws under which letters patent are granted, the forms and practice in tho patent ofMice at Washington and the technical methods of casting specifications and claims to properly protect their inventions against infringers, vet the value of the patent and even its valiaity depend largely upon the ful and export preparation of the caso. Specifications must be drawn to fully dis close the fnvention, to distinguish between what is new and what is old, and claims, upon which the value and validity of the patent depond, must bo cast to fully cover the iuvention yeot not to encronch upon pat- ents already grantea. Failuve in cither of theso vespects often renders the patent vatue- less orvoid. The employment of counsol skilled in patent law 1s thorefore usually a prerequisita to the proper prosecution of a case and a graut of a valuable patent. Many inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should be derived from valuable inven- tions owing to insufficient protection by pat ets procured through incompetent or care- less agents, ete. Yor What Grantod, Under the laws of the United States let- ters patent aro granted to any porsou who has invented or discovored any new and use ful ar., machine, wanufacture or composition of matter, or has invented any new or useful improvement thereon, Term of Patent, A patent is granted for seventeen yoars, during which time the owunor has sole and exeiusivo right to make, use and sell the patented invention, How to Procecd, IPor economic reasons beforo making ap- plication to the patent office for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the inven- tion should be ascertained, because, if the invention is not new or not patentable an unnecessary expense is ncurred by filing an application on which a patent can never ve granted, ete, The first thing to be dono is to find out whether or not the invention is new and patentable, IPor advice on the point it is necessary to send to the burean a rough or complete sketch or a_photograph of the invention, to- gether with a briet description thereof, Setting forth the object of the improve- meuts, the arrangement of tho parts and the advantages attained. While a modei is very seldom necessary, yot it is often of great assistanco, The latter can be made of any cheap material, ard will be returned 1f a request is made to that effect. Upon receipt of the data mentioned zuftic- ient to enable the invention to be understood our counsel will at once examine thereinto, and will advise without charge what is the best course to pursue and will expross an opinion, from thewr knowledge of the arts and patents already geanted, as to the patent- ability of the invention. In this ‘conuvection it is recommended that the best und safest course is to have a special search made in the patent oftice to ascertain whether or not the invention has been herotofore patented. The advantage of such a search is that it uoanticipatine patent is discovered the application can be filed with a greater decree of cortainty, wheroas if the invention is found to be old all further ex- pense is avoided. The cost of a search of this nature is &, and with the report of the result thereof the inventor will be furnished ith copies of such patents, if any, as em- Lence his ideas. It is much better to have this search made in the outsot before in ring any expense whatever regurding the ap- plication for patent. 111t 1s found that hejinvention is new and atentable the clientis advised to proceed with the fiting of an application for patent, and will then be requested to remit $15 to cover the first government fee and & ia payment of cost of drawing, when one is necessuary, As soon as vossible after the veceipt of this remittunce it+ snecification of the invention will bo carefully propared and forwurded to the inventor, together with forms for application for patent roady for exccution. Upon return of tho latter the caso will be prompily fited at the patent oftice and notice will bo sent when action is had there- on, and also of tho nature of such action. ‘The examining corps of the patent office is divided into thirty-two divisions, among which the applications ave divided according 1o the officiul classitication. The condition of the work in tho various divisions varies trom one to five months in arrears, The Bureau Churges, Consistent with the spirit with which this bureau was formed, it is not intended to conduct any branch of tho business on a money making basis, but it is proposed to do the work as near the actual costas will pro- ot the business from lo s. Although counsel aro retained at heavy oxpense to the bureau, yet it is the wish (o chargo in ordinary cases ouly the minimum fee of $25. However, in cases requiring extra care, time and labor the fee will be nroportionatoly increased, but ciients will always be advised in advance should such incre: of feo be found neces- sary.

Design Patents, A patent for a design is granted to any’ porson who has invented or procured any now and original design for the printing of woolan, silk, cotton or other fabrics; any new and original impression, ornament, pat- tern, print or picturoe to be printed, paiuted, cast'or otherwise placed on or worked into any articio of manufacture; o any now, uscful and original shape or confizuration of any article of manufacture, the same not having been known or used by others beforo his jnveution or production thercof, or pat- ented or deseribod in any printed publica- tion, Patonts for designs are grantea for the term of three and one-half years, the government feo being 8103 or for seven years, tho fee being $15; or for fourteen years, the fee bewng &30, The charge of tho bureyu in such cases 1s usually $25, Rolssues, A patent can boe reissued whenever tho same is inoperative or 1nvalid by reason of a defective or insufticient specification, or by reason of the patentoo's claiming move than ho had a right to claim as uew, providing the error has avisen by accident, mistake or in- advertence, ana without fraudulent intent. ‘The government fee for a reissue is $30. The cost of drawing is #5, and the bureau charge is usually 835, Great care must be exercised in reissuing a patent, because very often what little yahidity there may be in a defec- tive patent is entirely lost by procuring a re- issue which is totally invalid. Rejected Cases. ‘Thero are in the patent office a great many cases which stand rejected, but which should be allowed. Tuis condition of the case may be due either w lncompetency oa the part of the attornoy employed or his inability, be- cause of residence elsowhero than in Wash- ington, ta make the examiner see the inven- tion in its true light; and then, again, as often occurs, cases are rejected on improper or {usufficient grounds. When so requested we will haye our couusel éxamine into any such case free of charge and advise as Lo the rospects for success by further prosecution, 'he client will also be then lnformed of the probable cost of completion. Cuveats, By means of & caveat an _inventor secures record evidence rezarding his invention for the purpose of enbling him to_complete or further experiment therewith. The life of & caveat is one year, and it may be renewed at the end of that time. The government fee is $10 and the bureau charge is $15.

The cost of foreign patents varies with " different cases, but as a general rule the expenses of procuring patents, cov ering all charges, is about as follows: Canaaa, $30; Bagland, $)0; Gormany, $00; France, $55; Spain, $90; Bolgium, $60.

Important Warning It seems remarkable thatin this enlight- ened ago it becomes the duty of every re- liable und trust vorthy attorney in patent maiters to advise his clients to beware of the many sharks whoset out with the ap- parent intention of defrauding inventors immewately after the 1ssue of their patents.

The sole object, of these people is to obtain money from inventors, and they never make the slightest endeavor to carry out their groundless or worthless promises.

From com- plaiuts that have come to it, however, 1t ap- pears that many of the claimants do not un derstand their position under the act. At a time when there appeared to be little chanco that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed contraots with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarter to one-half the amount to the agent in caso the money should be collected. In view of this extortion con- gress insorted a provision in the act annul- ing all contracts and limiting the agent’s commission to 15 or 20 per cont. The claimants atl probably understand that the agent’s commission has been limited by the law, but many of them, according to their owu statéments, do nov understand that they are froe to do as they please about amploying the agent they had first chosen. They con siger that they are still bouna to employ the agent with whom they signed tha exorbitan contracts whether they are sansist with bim or not. 1t was the inention of congress to protect them at all points and they were left on the passage of tho act free to do as they ploased and employ whom they pleased. Secction 9 of the act stated: *“That all sales, transfers or assignraents of any such claims heretofors or hereafter mude, except such as have occurred in the due administration of decedents' es tates, and all contracts heretofore made for feos und allowances to clulmants’ attorneys are herevy declared voic, There could be no mistalke about the mean- ing of this. All claimants bad to make new contracts with agents after tho passage of the act, and they were at liberty to emplov any vne thoy pleased. If they woro ploased with the zeal and acts of théir first avent thoy might make their new contract with fim. If they were dissatiscd they might ©h0086 any othor ageut that thuy i ased, Those who have not signed new contracts sincethe passage of the act mav profit by this to secure much vetter terms than they could otherwise get from the agents. 'he fact that Toe Ber Bukeav is doing the work for the bare expense involved has had a good effoct in moderating the charges of all agents 10 those who know how to protect them- selves. For those who distrust their ability to cope with the claim agouts on their own ground Tue Bee Burkau Is always opon.

The North. THE BEE BUREAU, Tue Bee Brreav or Crarvs in Washing ton has done a good work for the residents of this section in attending to the claims avising under the Indian deproaations act. It has saved those who have taken advantago of its offer from the unconscionable charges of the regular claim agents, and has benefited the others by forcing the agents to demand only moderate fees in order to get business, Tho long delay over the passage of the act had given the claim agents timo to make con- tracts thut would give them the lion’s sharo of the appropriation. Many of the claimauts haa been induced tosigs contracts guarantee- ng the agent from one-third to over 50 per cent of the claims in case they wero aliowad. ‘The depredations act annulled those extor- ., tionate contracts and set the limit of agents' fees ut 15 per cent, to be increased in certain cases to 20 per cent on the order of tho court of cluims. But so many complaints wore made of tho action of the agents, and so many inguiries for a reliable agent were sent to this oftice, that it was decidod to establish a bureau under the direct charge of Tur Bee to pro ect its subscribors and give thom the beno- fits of the law at tho lowest possible charges. The bureasu has more thun justified its os tablishment. It has attended to the 15 of alarge number of the sufferers by the iny dian raids in the west. It is downg the work at 5 to 12 per cont, taking in many instancos nly the actual cost of pushing the claim. A most of those who lost their property hro ugh the Indian raids are persous of small means who couid not goto Wasnington themselves, the establishment of the bureau where they can be certain of exact and just treatment” has reached those who needis most. T'he persons who have sufferad losses from the Indians since June 1, 1806, will do woll to remember, however, that the time within which claims can be presented is limitod, 11 they are not put in within the appointed time thoy are forever oarred. Morevver tho court of claims goes on the plan, “first come, first servea,” and 1t pehooves sufferors to place their clains before the proper authort ties at an early date, The contracts wmado bofore the passage of the act have, as stated, been unnulled by con- gress, It is therefore necessary for claim ants to make new contracts or arraugements with their agents, aud thoy are left free to engage new agents if they are not sutistiod with those they had eugaged bofore. This will enable them to make much more favor- able terms for themselves than wero had while the passage of the actwas sull in dounbt.

Tho organization of the new court of law claims at Denver last month and the an nouncement that the court will hold its finu session in that city on the 17th of Novembor tive promise thathe long-vexed titles in th western territories and state will soon be in afair way to settlement. The disputed titlos under the Mexican and Spanish grants have proved espocially troublesomo in Arizoun and New Mexico. They have delayed settlsmont ana investment in some of the fairest lands of the southwest, and have proved annoying in the districts farther to the north. After much agitation and complant congress wa nduced at the lust session to provide a court for the consideration of this ousiness, and will s00n begin Lo work. ‘I'he_organization of this court gives Tir Bek Buieav or CrLaiys a chance o extend its usofuluess. It will take claims under this law and prosecute them for persons who do not know whom to engage for the service. The business entrustod to the bureau in Washington is bolng prosect.tad with energy I'he Indian depredations patent, land mioiug and other claims before the courts and departments are being pushed as rapidly as possible, with no delays on accunt of tho large amount of business which has been sont to the bureau. The large amount of elaims intrusted toits careis a standing proof of iho esteem and confidence in which Tue Bek 1s held by the public which it serves, It is like wise a demonstration, If one was required.o he need of such un organization The revelations in regard to the Loowis agency which have been published recent g0 even further in the same direction, Whoen a man sought for by the police for neurly & year on a warrant for embezzlement can seb up as & claim agent, flood the western coun- ry with circulars and recelve nssignments for several million dollar's worth of eluims, it appears that thore is little protection for the olaimant whosends to an unknown repro- | sentative.
