The "United States deleeatioa to the recent conference of the International Union tor the Protec tion or Industrial Property which met at Madrid last April hare just had their final meeting. There hare been several attempts in late years to unite various nations enjoy ing reciprocal relations on some general plan of protection for patents and trade marks. The growth of such relations has been very slow. The United States did not adhere to the union until 1887, and when this conference was announced Patent Commissioner Mitchell was the business man of the Gov ernment who saw the importance of obtain ing a widermarket for American inventions, aud greater international protection for the trade marks. He was warmly seconded by Honorable Benjamin Butterworth, ex-commissioner, who introduced a bill for the proper representation of the United States t MsdnB. Under the act Hon. T. "W. Palmer, now President of the "World's Fair; Colonel T. A. Seely, of the United States Patent Office, and Francis Forbes, a Xew Tork jurist who has given special attention to trade marks, were appointed delegates. The protocol of the conference shows A TEST IMPOBTAXT ADVANCE toward reciprocal relations of tbe States composing tbe Union, and is signal by representatives of France, Belgium. Brazil, Spain, Guatemala, Italy, tbe Netherlands, Portugal, Salvador, Servia, Switzerland, England, Norway, Sweden, Tunis, Ger many and the Dmted States. A represent ative of The Dispatch called upon Mr. Forbes at his office on Broadway. He is a quiet, unassuming gentleman, with "a pleasant face, full dark beard and slightly drooping shoulders, and is always busy without bustle. He is a very interesting talker. "Yes," said he, "we have every reason to feel gratified with the results of this confer ence. The United States is the .natural home of the inventor and this country is more interested in the subject of industrial protection than anv other. The first confer ence in regard to industrial property was a voluntary one, held at the Vienu.i Exposi tion, lne rencb Ixovernment gave its sanction to another convention at the Paris Exposition of 1878. I attended this confer ence and well remember tbe earnestness wth which the proposition of international unity lor the protection ot industrial prop erty was discussed. Tbe discussion was thrown open to any one, and those who took part sought their own interest in making a wider market for tne products of their genius. THE EIGHTS OF PATENTEES. "This conference adjourned to 1880. The conference of that year was more Jormal, and culminated in tbe conference of March SO, 1SS3, which formulated tbe Union for the Protection of Indnstrial Property. Great Britain did Dot give in its adhesion till 1883 and the United States joined the union In 1887. One of the distinguishing features of the union of 1883 is the period of priority, as it is called, or in other words a period of time after the application in one country during which the right to a patent in another country of the union will not be de stroyed by publication or use of the in vention or other things which would other, vise destroy it, and during which another person annot obtain a patent in those countries where tbe right to the patent de Vends by law upon the dste of application. It has happened in England that an Enclibhman has , applied for a patent and while the proceedings of the Patent Office before the grant of the patent were taking place, an American has filed a copy of his American application and the application ot tbe Englishman has been rejected and the Americanof earlier application at borne re ceived the patent." INYEXTOBS AJfD MONOPOLISTS. "Will you kindly give as example of bow this works?" "Certainlr. "Without the right to taka out a patent, or, in other words, to obtain a monopoly the American inventor cannot hope to sell his invention abroad; tbe im portance therefore, of some convention by which he can get such monopoly is appar ent. "We have thrown our doors open to the inventors of the world without asking their Governments for anything in return. For example, we gave tbe inventors of artificial alixarian a patent for the article which the Custom House showed was im ported to tbe extent of 750,000 pounds iu 18S3, and for which we paid about one dollar a pound more while the patent was in force than after it wbb declared invalid; in other words $750,000 was taken from the country because it had granted a patent. The German who took out tbe patent, or his vendors, had this profit for his genius. On the other side I have been told that the European patents for the graphophone, an American invention, were sold for 500,000. The international value of invention is, therefore, apparent. "The United States delegation attempted to introduce such a change into tbe con vention that tbe period of priority should run from tbe publication of tbe American patent, ana not from the time of applica tion as now. A OEEAT DISADVANTAGE. "Our system of preliminary examination makes it impossible to determine how soon the patent will be issued. The period is va rying, but abroad it is generally fixed, the application being extemporaneous with the date of the patent In analogy we thought that date of priority should date from the grant of the American patent. II this could be bronght about, tbe American inventor could send his American patent abroad and ofier the invention for sale. Now be cannot do this, because publication destroy tbe right to obtain a patent in most countries. "We were not successful in this. Our laws are so framed as to punish the American in ventor for taking out a patent abroad prior to his American patent, which it is necessa ry now in most countries to do in order to obtain a valid foreign patent, by shortening bis home patent accordingly. This is a fault which we might correct ourselves. 'The conference recommended that pat ents be made independent of one another. Merchandise marked received gran atten tion in the conference. A separate conven tion for tbe repression of false indication of origin on merchandise was proposed, and WM strongly advocated by the British dele gation. rKOTECTIOIT AOAKTBT COUMTEBPEITS. "The language or the first article clearly indicates its scope: Article one. Every product bearing a false Indication or origin in which one ol the con. tracttng States or a place situated in one of inem, shall be directly or Indirectly Indicated as country or place of origin, shall be seized on Importation into any one ot sucli Htatcs. The seizure mar be effected in the country where the false indication of origin shall hare been aSlxea, or In that In which the product bearinc tn. fllti Indication shall have bYen iatr' dosed. . 'Ji) BIJ1,, ewwntien &M been stated to H tt yrette w tt8 wotkmeB of a locali ty vsiut hare rendered it famous for Its manu factures, for example, "Sheffield." Before tbe conference of Madrid there has been embodied in tbe tariff act a clause which does not seem to havq received attention by our manufacturers: . . , Section Ave. That all articles of foreign raanof.ir.ture Imported into the United States, and all packages containing such articles shall be plainly marked, stamped, branded or la beled with the name of the country In which such articles were manufactured. And unless so marked, stamped, branded or labeled snau not be admitted to entry. "In view of the clause of the tariff act, the remainder of the proposal is interesting and important. Our wine growers use suoh names as 'Champagne, "Port," 'Hock,' etc, to indicate kinds of wine. Article lour says; 'The courts of each country shall decide what are the appellations which, by reason of their generic character.-avoid the stipula tions of the present arrangement; provided, however, that regional appellations of origin of vineyard products are not included by tbe reservation fixed by this article.' INTEBSATIONAI. EEGISTEATION. "Id addition to this project the conference recommended an increase of the fund at the disposal of the Swiss Government for the International Bureau at Berne, and also the international registration of trade marks by it "In France and some other countries patentees are required to work their inven tion. Tbe French word used is 'exploiter.' Tois is a source of much trouble to inventors. Importation of the patented article into such countries is forbidden tinder penalty of loss of patent rights. The convention of '83 seemed to do away with the penalty, and the conference was asked to introduce a pro tocol by which each nation should itself pass upon the term 'exploiter,' which was done. "A clause was introduced as to interna tional expositions, giving the exhibitor the right to apply for a patent after exhibition of his invention. Under the patent laws of Europe the inventor must ap ply for his patent before, he has publicly used his invention, or it has been described in print This clause saves his right Pro vision was also made for the distribution of statistics between tbe Governments." MEM BEES OF THE CONFEREXCE. "What was the general character of this last conference? Would yon mind saying something of its personnel?" "The President of tbe conference was Senor Moret, member of the Cortes, former Minis ter or Foreign Affairs, and atone time Min ister to London. He speaks English, French and Spanish with apparently equal ease, and made en admirable presiding officer. The other Spanish delegates were Senor Calleja, Director of the Patent Office, and Senor Lara, a national poet and editor o the Patent and Trade Mark Journal of Spain. The conference was welcomed by the Min ister of Foreign Aflairs, and tfoe Duo de Veragua, Minister of the Interior, who is a direct descendant of Christopher Columbus. Germany took no part by vote in the confer ence, not being a member of the union, but was most ably represented bv Mr. Bojanow ski, President of its Patent Office. His in terest in our country was great and its im portance in the industrial movements ot the world was frankly mentioned by him." "Germany has now under consideration a new patent law and is creating a new patent office of monumental proportions. France, Belgium, Portugal, Norway and Sweden, and England were represented by the heads of their respective patent offices. "The chair man of the English delegation was Mr. Stewart Wortlev, Under Home Secretary and Member of Parliament Austria was not represented. There is a treaty between Germany and Austria by which publication in one will not canse forfeiture in the other. This would be applicable to our case. Aas tria is now considering a new patent law. The time seems ripe lor special conventions with these countries." SPANISH HOSPITALITY. "I presume you were well entertained; the Spanish court isau hospitable one?" "We found Madrid a most delightful place of residence. The season was perfect and tbe people most courteous. The Queen gave a tea to all tbe delegates. The invita tions to the diplomatic corps, the grandees and nobles of Spain numbered 1,000. The occasion was made most brilliant. The Qaeen Becent engaged each of the delega tion in conversation in his own language. The Minister of Foreign Affairs gave a din ner to tbe delegates and the diplomatic corps. There was no speech-making, but at the parting breakfast given by the Spanish delegation to the other delegates, by a kind of spontaneous rivalry, each delegate reoited a poem or made an address in his own lan guage. It was donbly interesting to have the soft, sweet Spanish succeeded by the allied Portuguese, the symmetrical Italian, courtly French, and more virile English, Swedish, Dutch, and German. "President Palmer occupied a hotel, so called, not of the Fifth avenue kind, hut a private mansion, and gave a dinner, at which Senor Castellar was a most Interest ing guest. He is short and stout and ex ceedingly vivacious, the orator bubbling np at all points. The Spanish are a nation of orators, and when one stands out so promi nently aslSenor Castellar he may be truly said to be pre-eminent Their custom of leaving the key of their houses with a watchman, whom one calls when he wants to get into bis honse, seems a enrious one to us. We were lodged on the main square ot tbe town, and found the people about until A or a o ciocc in tne morning. A SPLENDID CITT. "Business commenced late, as it had ended early. One af the noticeable features of the'' capital is the fine horses and carriages of private individuals. No city of the world seems to be so amply provided. The young king is drawn by mnles, but superb mules. The civil guard is a remarkably fine-looking body ot men. Ther police the cbuntry as well as Madrid. Tbey wear a military uniform and carry arms, and al ways go -In twos. Yet the city was very orderly. There did not appear to be any such abject poverty and degradation as is seen in the more northern cities like Eon don. "Madrid boasts of one of the finest art galleries of Europe. I thought of gome mementoes of Madrid for the children, bat on search found that the tors were all im- fiorted and on further search there was but ittle of domestic manufacture to be lonnd. There are two rival electric light companies in Madrid just introducing light, one ii German, tbe other English. There is a German bank and an Anglo-Spanish bank. The hope was expressed by the Spanish that this conference would bring about a more lively interest in industrial matters atome. There are already signs in Spain ot an awakening Interest in home industries con ducted by its own citizens." Chaeles T.

A PROTEST FE01I THE EACB TRACK Against the Town Establishments Leads to a General Crusade. PB0BABLI 0KLI A SPASM OP YIETUE rsrSCIAL TBXEOBJLK TO THE SISFJlTCIt.1 Chicago, August 3. The short tele grams of the Associated Press have not given to outsiders any adequate idea of what a high old time there has been for tbe last fcv days in what might be termed in reportorial English. Chicago poolroom circles. There has been tbe biggest kind of a fuss and it has had a result no less re markable than the abrupt closing of all the gambling dens and poolrooms in Chicago as far as honest and energetic effort on the part of the police could do it The fight opened with the picturesque figure ot a big, blustering Chicagoau, of Milesian extraction, Edward Corrigan, by name, in the fore front Corrigan is the lessee or the JSorthside race trace ana tne season there is just at its height A PECULIAR FEATURE. By a peculiarity in tbe law or Illinois it is no intensely illegal thing to run a pool room anvwhere. but a provision taeked onto the statute says that. its provisions "shall not apply to the actual inclosure of fair or race track associations that are incorporated nnder the laws of this State during the actual time ot the meeting of said associa tions, or within 21 hours before said meet ing." Now tbe race track is away out on the West side, and a great many people who want to buy pools cannot leave the heart ot the city during business houn, but notwithstanding this, in some previous years the down-town poolrooms have closed during the season at tbe Westside Park, and all the pool selling has been done there. This year no such arrangement could be made by Corrigan. Tbe down-town pool rooms did a lively business all the time and the pool selling at tbe races was Inot very heavy and at times the attendance was none too good. A MATTER OF SELT-PBESEBTAXION. Corrigan determined to close up tbe down town resorts. He visited tbe Mayor, and asked his co-operation to enforce tbe law against poolrooms, but the results were not satisfactory to Corrigan. Then he went into conrt with a long bill in eqnity in which sensational charges were made to the effect that the downtown poolrooms were allowed to run by the city authorities in consideration of a certain proportion of tbe revenues thereof finding their way to the pockets of certain hungry people in the Citv Building. Practically that availed nothing, and then Corrigan bad recourse to private detective agencies. Informations were made by Cor rigan before several Jnstices ot the Peace in remote sections of Cook county, and private detectives, armed with war rants, invaded every downtown pool room and forced everybody whom they found doing business to go off 12 or 16 miles to the suburban towns of Bremen or Arlington Heights or Cicero or jEvanston to give bail for a bearing. Those remote points were chosen because Uorigan wanted to make it impossible for the men to get back in time to do any more wore that day. But the downtown poolroom men were equal to the situation. They provided successive relays of men and when one set were arrested and marched off to a remote corner of South Chicago, an other set sprang quickly into their places and the pool selling went on lively as ever. When Corrigan "got onto" this be pro vided successive BELAYS" OF DETECTIVES and pulled the places as fast as the informa tions could be made out, and the warrants placed in the bands of his men. Back of Harry Alden's "Pittsb'urg Whisky" saloon on South Clark street, a poolroom was pulled no less than ten times in one day Thursday and it took tbe tenth pull to close it for good, no other men betng avail able to run it Then the Mayor took hand in the game. He seut to the city law department to ascertain what he could do with Corrigan's race track pool room, aud the oracular re sponse was that Corrigan could not be molested so long as be confined himself to getting pools ou the races then in progress on .his own track, but that be had so right to sell pools on any other races, or on any sporting event at any other point Thereupon His Honor detailed a squad of officers to go to Coragan's establishment and arrest any man who attempted to sell pools ou foreign events, and rather than be interrupted in that style Cor rigan's pool room people closed up their place. The Mayor at the same time bad passed around word to the down town pool room men that the war was about to be inforced and "no foolishness," and on Friday and Saturdav nights for the first time in a great while there was no pub-, lie gambling in Chicago. ONLY A SHAM. The spasm of virtue has not yet spent its force. The poolrooms are still closed. The gamblers are standing around wondering what the next development shall be. The city law department is now prepar ing an opinion as to the right of the private detective agenoy employes to make arrests, as they have been doing, of which the Mayor may make use later on. WAITING AT THE CAGE DOOR. ' A PHILADELPHIA QETECTIVE HERE AFTEBTWO PRETTY BIRDS. Wanted for Nearly Kllllnc Two Officer! In a Fight on n Freight Train Both Men Identified James Lewis Goes AWojr Now, bat Shenandoah Jlmmr Still Lin- srers. , Detective O'Brien, of the Philadelphia polios force, is in the eity, and hopes to return to-morrow with James Lewis, alias Blchard Clark, alias Manayunk White, who is now in the workhouse. Tbe charge against the man is attempted murder, In July, 1889, there was a great deal of train jumping and robbery in the neighbor hood of Monaosy, near Philadelphia. Officers Kaereherer and Whartraan, of the Philadelphia Sorce, were detailed to look after the matter. On the night of July XJ, the officers caught three tramps in a freight car. Tbe officers, who were unarmed, at tempted to arrest the men, but the latter pulled revolvers, shot tbe officers and escaped. The officers were so badly injured that for months their lives were despaired I of, but they finally recovered. tramps at Brdokvllle, Pa, James Lewis and a companion, who travels incognito as Shenandoah Jimmy, were arrested on sus picion, but their connection with the crime Sonld not be proven. Tbe men were there fore held for carrying concealed weapons, Davis getting three months and Shenan doah Jimmy six months to the Allegheny County Workhouse. Captain Clark, of. BrookviUe, thought tbe men might have been connected with tha Monaesy trouble, and notified tbe Philadelphia police. Kaereherer, one ol the injured offioers, came to this city and identified both men a his assailants. There was no means of get ting tbe men out of the workhouse, so it was decided to wait until their terms expired and then pick them up. Detective O'Brien will lake Lewis away with him to-morrow, and three months later he will return ior Shenandoah Jimmy. e Waj.keb'b Vax,8oap is the best. an2',)8iel7l8,,lll181W115 THE W0RLDF0R A DAY.

CLEWS' WEEKLY BEP0ET. Heavy Export of Both Gold.ond Silver to fiurspenn Forts. New York, August 3. Henry Clews & Co's. circular which will be issued tomorrow sayB: Tbe South American political and financial troubles bave been instrumental in drawing thus far this week through London six and one-half millions of gold from New York. This heavy export of the precious metal, with a prospect of more to fallow, makes an offset to the timely action of Secretary Windom of changing bis mode of buying bonds, which ad. mltted of the Treasury paying ont over nine millions against bonds bought. In J ad. dltion to tbe gold shipments, over a million ounces of silver have also gone forward to London In the last few days. The advance in silver to 112 is partially due to the export da. mand, together with tbe anticipated early re quirements to meet tbe needs of the Secretary or the Treasury under the new silver law. Nine million ounces will be required to be bought for that purpose on or before the 13th of October, which amount will about take up all the available silver in tbls market. Tbe present position of silver tnlly verities my early predictions In reference to it when the silver bill was under discussion in Congress. At that time a great many people sup posed to be authorities were persist ent in their predictions that In the event of the passage of the Silver Act this ooontry would become tbe dumping-ground for all the surplus silver in the world. X was f nly as pronounced, however, in giving my opinion that tbers was no surplus sliver held anywhere, and consequently there was no cause for ap prehension from that quarter. When the Sec retary enters tbe market as a bnyer for his first 4,500,000 ounces for tbe month of August, meet ing, as he will, London as a competitor, the price is not unlikely to advance to 145 at least; and I venture the opinion that before this present year is ended that f 1,20 and above will be firmly established, and its equivalent in London as tbe price per ounce for silver. The effects of this advance in silver will have a cor responding affect on all products produced by competing nations, wblcn will make perman ently a higher valuation than In recent years for American wheat, corn and ootton. The Secretary's large purchases or bonds un der his new system bas been a brilliant success, as well as a great welcome to the business com. munity, especially as the funds released thereby from tbe Treasury were much needed for busi ness wants. A part of the bonds bouacbt were the 4 per cent Issue, at about 121, which was a material advance on prevlons purchases, bat even at that pries it should not bo considered too high, as tbs Government after the Mexican War was compelledjto use Its surplus In Identically the same -way as now for tbo pur chase of oonili, and at that time paid as high as 123 for tbe bands then outstanding. 1 question, however, the wisdpm of the Secretary buying at this time any part of the i per cent issue, as these bonas do not mature until the year 1907, Good Health You cannot have without pure blood; there fore, to keep well, purify the blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparllla.
