WASHINGTON. From oar Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Mar. 7th, IS9B. Secretary Long either talked too much or too little when he said : "The element of official Spanish participa tion in the explosion has been practi cally eliminated," and then added that the administration had receivtd noth ing but what had been made public concerning 1 the investigation of the destruction of the Maine. The only thing eliminated by what has been made public is the accident theory ; therefore, unless he has information which has not been made public, Secretary Long was doing what all other naval officials had been positive ly ordered not to do,-theorizing-when he used that language. He did not better the case any when he stated that his only reason for saying that official Spanish participation had been eliminated from the case was the state ment of the Spanish charged' affairs at Washington that there were no mines in Havana harboi. As Mr. Long had just left a Cabinet meeting when he used the words quoted above there isn't the slightest doubt that they were deliberately used for a purpose. I will not go to the extent that some do, and charge that it was intended either for a notice to the Naval court of in quiry of the sort of verdict desired, or as a notice to the country that a policy of peace-at-any-price was to be followed, but it certainly has not served to strengthen confidence in the intention of the administration to stand up vigorously for national honor, regardless of cost or consequences. About the only thing done this week by the administration looking like business was the making of a con tract for a $1,000,000 supply of pro jectiles, for the new high-power guns of our coast defenses. That no immediate action is ex pected on the Maine catastrophe was shown by the departure for Cuba, this week, of a party including Senators Thurston, Money, and Gallinger, and Representatives Amos J. Cummings, and William Alden Smith. These gentlemen are going directly to Havana, on a private yacht, for the purpose of doing a little investigating on their own hook, and they expect to get information that will be useful when the matter gets before Congre-s. They expect to be gone about ten days. There is quite a stir among- mem bers of the House over a report that Czar Reed intended to try to rush the rest of the appropriation hills through and to force an adjournment of Con gress, in order to prevent a declara tion of war, or any other action on Cuba. A paper was at once circulated by republicans among republicans pledging the signers to vote against adjournment under any circumstances before satisfactory action had been taken on the Cuban question, and fenough signers have already been ob tained to block any adjournment scheme, with the aid of the demo cratic and populist votes, which have been promised. A bill for the conditional repeal of the Federal tax or currency issued by State banks has been introduced Dy Senator Piatt, ot New York, much to the surprise of democrats, who have at various times sought the repeal of that tax, which they have always con sidered unjust. Mr. Piatt's bill author izes State banks to deposit with the U. S. Treasurer the bones of any State, City or County and to receive in exchange circulating notes to the extent of 80 per cent of the deposits and 70 per cent of the capital stock of the bank. The securities to be held in trust for the redemption of the bank's circulating notes, just as U. S. bonds are now held for national bank notes. Ex-Gov. Colcord, of Nevada, is in Washington trying to persuade the republican leaders that unless they abandon the single gold standard the party will be overthrown. He said on the subject: "I am a republican, but 1 do not believe that the party can continue in power by advocacy of the single gold standard. During the last few months I have traveled exten sively, and everywhere I find a most bitter opposition to that policy. The democrats will press this view for all it is worth, and by so doing will sweep the country, unless there is a great change from existing conditions. The American people really want bime talism gold and silver-and if silver is restored to its former place as money, will be content to let Congress estab lish the ratio." It was officially announced this week by Secretary Algerjhat the gov ernment relief expeditioiiH the Klon dike miners had been abandoned, and authority to sell the stuff pur chased, including the reindeer, has been asked of Congress. No official announcement has been made to that effect, but it is stated that it is now fully known that the whole business was a systematic scheme on the part of certain sharpers to "do" the gov ernment. An English agriculturist has suc ceeded in the cross fertilization of grasses, clover, cereals and other food plants. Hats That Will JBe Worn Easter. The New Millinory that Will Have its First Airing at the Close of Lent. Leghorn, Manilla, chip and raffia, in all colors, are used for the new spring hats, as well as an absolutely new straw braid with a satin finish not unlike the silk-covered braids which obtained during the winter. Sailor hats, that always have an assur ed position, are in a new material in the form of woven bulrushes, which, after being braided, are shaped and generally edged with a narrow black velvet ribbon. Linen crash is also used for this kind of hat. The most striking of all are those of white or gray felt, intended for summer wear. Rich ribbons of velvet, silk, satin and moire are all used, being plaited and shirred, while piece fabrics, heav ily embroidered with beads and spangles, also obtain. The fashion able colors are periwinkle blue, anemone blue, heliotrope, champagne, the light shades of ruby, brown, pearl gray, pink and pale green. Fanciful combinations are noted in the flowers. There is a decided fancy for putting the trimming—that may take the form of a bunch of flowers, a bow of ribbon, a drapery of velvet or satin—under the brim on the left side, so massed as to have it come well on the hair. —March Ladies' Home Journal.

Consistency Not in It- We read in an exchange of a cer tain editor who wrote a long and care fully prepared article on the import ance of patronizing home industries, giving many reasons why farmers and others should patronize home mer chants rather than send off for their goods. The article was so good that it attracted the attention of the mer chants and they highly commended the loyalty of the editor. One mer chant was so favorably impressed with the article that he sat down and wrote a congratulatory letter to the editor, but to the surprise of the pencil push er, the letter head which the merchant used had been printed in a neighbor ing town, and the return on the envelope was made with a rubber stamp furnished by a Chicago axle grease house.

Boarding House Fraud- A small, sombre, gray-haired man aged between fifty and fifty-five years, has been playing a new game on boarding houses in the vicinity. The other day he applied to a Milton land lady for-board for himself and three others. He represented that they were going to start a fertilizing plant down town and wanted a permanent boarding place. Satisfactory terras were agreed upon and the other boarders were to arrive in a few days. After, being accommodated several days the man left saying the four of them would be there that evening. The landlady laid in an extra supply oLprovisions but the guests failed to tu|n up. From the newspapers of this vicinity we learn that the game is being work ed elsewhere with equal success. At Williamsport several boarding houses were fleeced. • FOSSIL PILLS.— The demand is proof of their worth—Dr Agnew's Liver Pills are beating out many fossil formulas at a quarter a box—They're better medicine—Easier doses and 10 cents a vial.

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMS BURG, PA. Need of the Patent Olßce for a Larger Foroe—Thirteen Thousand Oases Await ing Aotion—Months in Arrears Referring to the condition of busi ness in the U. S Patent Offidfc, Assistant Commissioner Greely said : "We are deeply interested in the pending appropriation for the support of the patent Office during the com ing fiscal year. The appropriation bill, as reported, provides for a slight increase in the working force of the office, but it is so slight as not to materially affect the conditions which even now are becoming of monstrous proportions. The new bill, I believe, gives us i new principal examiner, 9 assistant examiners and 3 messengers. We originally estimated for 4 princi pal examiners, 36 assistant examiners, 35 clerks and 10 messengers. The Secretary cut this estimate to 2 princi pal examineis, 18 assistants, 11 clerks, and 14 messengers. This matter of additional help is a most serious pro blem, more important to-day than ever before, and becoming more so every twenty-four hours. "Even with the small increase allowed by Congress, we would be better off, if only the appropriation were made immediately available. But instead of that the additional help cannot be utilized until next July, and by that time this office will be seriously behind in its work. To-day our examiners are from three to four months behind in their work, and some divisions are as much as six months behind. THIRTEEN THOUSAND CASES WAITING. "VVe have on hand, in round num bers, awaiting action, 13,000 cases, of which number 9,600 have never been looked at. In the next four months our business will largely in crease. March, April, May and June have heretofore been the heaviest months ol the year, and there is no reason to doubt the record will be kept up. So you see, when July comes around, we will be hopelessly behird. I estimate we will receive in that time 14,000 new cases. So it is easy to understand how important it is to have an adequate force to do the work. It is not generally under stood what a large proportion of the government revenue comes Irom this otfice. Last year we covered into the treasury, after paying the running ex penses of the office, $317,133.03, and the books of the Treasurer of the United States show a total of $5,093,- 614.23 paid to the general government by the Patent Office after paying all its expenses. The inventors are pro testing against the delay. They claim, and very properly, too, they are entit led to prompt and efficient service. The government requires them to pay for the work in advance, and then they are required to wait for months before having their applications at tended to. One thing is certain, the efficiency of the Patent Office de mands, in the interest of its clients, a suitable force of employes to prose cute the work intrusted to it."— From The Evening Star of February 3, 1898. SOHOUii STAIISTIOS. Of the 70,000,000 inhabitants of the United States almost one-fourth are pupils in schools of some kind. Usually the proportion of school children to the whole population of a civilized country is about one-fifth. But we go beyond this, showing what a strong, young, rich nation we are. We are a nation of young people be cause so many among us are pupils of school age ; we are a rich nation be cause we can afford to let our child ren go to school instead of taking them out to earn a living while still in their tender years. It is to be hoped the education the young ones are get ting is of a quality worthy of ihera, fitted to make them patriots and use ful gentlemen and ladies. In the rate of increase of our school population there is a significant fact. The whole country over the school enrollment increases anaually at the rate of 2.1 per cent. In city schools the increase of the annual enrollment is 5.8 per cent., showing that our American cities are growing in popu lation nearly three times as fast as the country. The last census showed that the population of some rural counties in the older States had actually fallen off in ten years. The American seems to be developing the tendency to be come a city dweller. Nearly one fourth of our entire school population is in cities of over 8,000 inhabitants. There are 484 colleges and universi ties in the United States, and 162 of these are for women students alone. Twenty-five years ago 41 per cent, of the teachers in the American public schools were men. Now the men teachers are only 32.06 per cent., the rest being women. It is noteworthy that the students studying for pro fessions in the United States there ate times as many in the department of medicine as in law. For the high er education of colored students throughout the country there are 178 schools, and of these 101 are in seven Southern States.

Private advices received by steamer from Havana state that, despite Span ish opposition, the two American divers employed by the naval authori ties on the wreck .of the ill-fated Maine, while pretending to be engag ed solely in the work of rescuing the bodies and effects of officers and men from the hold, have secured indisput able evidence to prove beyond doubt that the Maine was blown up from the outside. The two divers have been befoie the Board of Inquiry, and while sessions are held in secret aboard the Fern enough has leaked out to create the impression that their testimony reveals the fact that the Maine was blown up by a submarine mine. Captain Sigsbee. it is said, was aware of the fact that his ship had been moored over one of the mines, and had so notified the authorities at Washington ; also that the bottom ot Havana harbor was a perfect network of torpedoes, each buoy marking a spot where one was located. The harbor, it is alleged, was so protected by torpedoes some time since, when belligerency talk became rampant in Congress. The mines are connected with electrical wires and worked by a key-board located in the arsenal at the Navy Yard. "PAINLESS AND DELIGHTFUL CA -1 TARKHAL REMEDY' is the good word which John Maclnnes, Wathaback Bridge, N. S., has to say of Dr. Ag new's Catarrhal Powder, after having suffered from Catarrhal Deafness for years.

The fact is becoming more evident as the days pass that any information direct from members of the United States Court of Inquiry into the lost \ of the battleship Maine and from those appearing before it is guarded with unusual closeness. Practically no information presented to the court has been disclosed. The restrictions are so severe that the communications between the naval men who have been before the court have been most guarded. Naval officers at Key West station who are not connected with the court express the guarded view that very little testimony has yet been heard tending to show that the explosion was the result of a conspiracy or as to the exact cause of the disaster.
