Washington, Dec. 12, 1890. The President has for several days been holding conferences on the finan- cial situation with republican leaders, in and out of Congress, and it has been! determined that immediate relief is necessary. The Secretary of the! Treasury has gone as far as he possibly could both in the purchase of bonds and ofsilver to relieve the strin-' gency in the money market, and it now devolves upon Congress to devise a quick method of putting more money into circulation. Everybody favors bringing about that result, but so far, unfortouately, there is no un- animity a8 to the ways and means of doing it.

More Shan a dozen methods have been proposed in bills introdueed in louse and Senate, and it is 10 arrive at some conclusion, which will embrace the composite views of leading republicans, that these confereaces are being held. Senator Sherman's idea, which has been introduced as a bill, and which is receiving the closest attention because of his well known conversatism in financial matters is to reduce the amount of United States bonds required of National banks, and thus restore to active cireulation between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. Bat the iden which seems to promise the quickest relief, and which also seems to have the most supporters, is that the Secretarr of the Treasury be authorized to purchase all the silver bullion on storage in this country, which is estimated to be about thisteen million ounces, and to issue in payment therefor silver trearury notes authorized by the silver net of the last session of congress. Representative Peters, of Kansas, says: "I intend to introduce a bill providing for the issuance by the Treas. I urS of notes on ail bonds deposited for that purpose to nu amount equal to the full face value of the bonds, and inaddition a sum about three and onehalf per cont interest up to date of maturity of the bonds- that is, to issue votes on bonds and interest:" Senator Plumb has introduced a compound bill to reduce the amount of bonds to be required of national banke; to replace their surrendered notes and for the free coinage of silver.

lle has also offered the saute matter as an amendment to a bill now on the calendar, so that he may be table to bring the matter before the Senate without waiting for report from the Finance committee. Healso gave notice that if the Federal election bill was not soon disposed of that he should move to las it aside for the time being, iu order to consider his bill and others relating to the financial condition of the country. Speaking of financial matters, Sena tor Gorman is being very sharply floor criticised of the for language he order used on the senate, to make political capital against the election bill. The language being circulated to add to the financial scare already existing throughout the country, worst of all. causelessly.

Many democrats have condemned the lack of judgment on Mr. Gorman's part, and expressed the fear that it would injure their party with the business men. If it doesn't it will be strange. Just now every man should be frying to inspire contidence, instead of trying to create a panic. 'The Census Committee of the House has agreed to and will report an apportionment bill providing that after House the of 3rd of Representatives March, 1893, shall the composed of 356 members, apportioned as follows: Alabama Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut.

This bill will be peshed through without delay and quite number of democrats have aunounced their intention of voting for it. Mr. W. Hathaway has been elected postmaster of the House Representatives.

off A caucus of Republican has appointed five Senators as auxiliaries to the republican members of Finauce committee, and instructed them prepare and report to another canens to be held next Monday to the country. Atibe same caucus night, a bill to afford financial relief at question of changing the rules of the Senate in order to dispose of the Election bill, was discussed but it was postponed Senate to is the now next caucus in thir. putting teen hours a day on the Election bill, meeting at 10 o'clock in the morning and holding night seesione.

The only fees required by me in advance are for essary drawings---usually $5 00. The steps necessary when applying for Letters Patent are: First, to make drawing or model illustrating the invention; Second, to prepare a written description thereof; Third, to forward to me for Preliminay Examination or opinion as to patentability; after which, should further instructions be necessary, they will be given in accordance with the nature of the erse. For this examination I make no charge. FOREIGN PATENTS obtained directly and expeditiously, in any country having a patent system. Charges in foreign patent cases are moderate.

DESIGN PATENTS obtained, TRADE MARKS registered, and any business before the Patent Office of the United States attened to with care and dispatch.
