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.

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.

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. •

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. North Carolina
leading off with 27.

j More Evidence That the Maine Was Des
troyed by a Sub-Marine Mine.
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

which John Maclnnes, Wathaback

suffered from Catarrhal Deafness for

Close Secrecy.
Very Little Leakage f rom the Inquiry Coutt.
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.
