at San rancisco OWEN JEWELRY STATIONERY COMPANY Programme Washington Dec The reports which have been circulated in various quarters with more or less assertion of authority that Ran dall if he receives the chairmanship of tho com mittee on appropriations will do so under the pledge that dc will not obstruct the reporting on passage of a tariff bill can however on the best possible authority be denied Randall has made no promises and Carlisle has ex acted none It is understood however from some of near friends that he does not in tend to prevent the reporting or considering of any tariff bill which may be reported from the comm it tee on ways and means: he will however attempt to defeat any tariff bill which is not in harmony with his views Affirmative counter propositions which he expects will receive the support of the majority of lhe house Randall will obstruct for the sake of obstructing Committee Work Washington Dec The house committee on elections organized and held its first meetings to day Almost without discussion the committee resolved to take ud the Timls Carllsle contested Washington Dec It has been assumed that Lamar would be confirmed associate justice of the supreme court of the United States although there would be considerable opposition Il Is still believed that he will be confirmed but it fs not so certain that be will receive a favorable report from the committee on the judiciary Some of friends in fact are apprehensive that he will not and do not conceal their apprehension They go so far as to state that they are quite cer tain four votes will be against him In the commit tee and they greatly fear that a fifth vote will be cast As the' committee consists of only nine mem bers if these apprehensions are well foundedthere will be a majority report against bls confirmation The opposition to Mr Lamar does not far a can be ascertained run along the lines generally supposed The opposition is not political In char acter Senators who have talked with as much freedom as senators generally do talk about mat lets which are certain to come up In executive session say what may be called the Southern ar gument is not used but that the points which arc used and practically with the greatest force with the judiciary committee are the fact that Lamar Is past 60 years old and some of the old lawyers in sist that be Is what they are pleased to term a belles lettres lawyer a professor of law without any very extended experience at the bar and with out any experience on tbe bench and that a lustice of the supreme court in their opinion should be a man who had devoted more of bls life to law either at the bar or on the bench and less cf it to literature and politics The committee on the judiciary about four years ago come to an agreement which was not a role of the senate in any sense and not necessarily binding upon the committee but has since that time been regarded by senators who are on that committee as In effect a rule That rule was that lhe committee would not report favorably for any position upon the federal bench a man who was past 60 years old and this resolution rule or agreement was supported by Pugh a Democrat who is still a member ot tbe committee and who some of the friends of Lamar fear will agree upon an adverse report upon tbe nomination But many rears have passed since the judiciary constituted the senate of tbe United Slates The report of a slender majority of a small committee at one time when the party majority in the senate was large and party discipline was stricter was equivalent to a final vote in the senate But the conditions now are very different and lhe judiciary committee is not infrequently overridden iu its decisions by tho senate In fact a good many of tbe younger class of sen ators are somewhat restive at what they consider (he domineering position of the judiciary com mittee and it is said to have not unfrequently hap pened that that committee is voted down its de cision because some of tbe members of the newer element in tbe senate are anxious to show the com mute that It is not the master of the senale ami the most experienced observers are of the opinion that even if tho report of tho judiciary committee shall be averse Lamar will nevertheless be con firmed 71TEU PATENT nntwmk of railway corer tb strict a Ion Uusslen frontier compared with lh I laIi ullcnn number of

agriculture will be settled by the United Stales courts if the attor ney general of the United Stales be of the opinion that a suit can be maintained against the holder of the patent for the diffusing process There is no subject in recent years which has ex cited so much general interest among agricultur alists of tbe sorghum producing belt as the patent for tho manufacture of sorghum sugar by the diffusing process which was granted to one Swenson This gentleman is an expert employed by the bureau of agriculture for tbe purpose of ex perimenting as to the best methods of making sugar from sorghum cane He was paid his salary by 'lhe government furnished with an expensive plant for bis experiments and all of the appliances ny means of which his discovery was made were furnished at the expense of the government While engaged in these experiments Swenson discovered what is known as the process ot making sugar from sorghum syrup oyamuMon ewt usuii Hav ing discovered this process under the circum stances indicated made application for a patent and obtained it within a period of time so short as to surprise those who have to wait the tedious delays of the patent office While other inventorshave been required to wait for months for the granting of the application for their patents Swenson scarcely had to wait days and he immedi ately began to require tbe sorghum producers in the states to pay him a royalty for his patent The farmers of Kansas are in open rebel lion at this and the commissioner of agriculture has denounced the patent claiming the invention of right belongs to the government Senator Plumb has succeeded in securing pass age through the senate of a resolution which di rects the attorney general to bring suit to cancel the patent of Swenson if in his opinion such suit can be sustained THE CARLISLE CONTEST election case and noJco wiiib Issued to the con testants or their attorney to appear before the committee at their next mating when the time for

a nuornm in tho committee of the whole and'tbat the committee of the whole may reetore its quorum when unpaired without rising and reporting to lhe bouse No such amend ment as this can be agreed to without a great deal of debate It Is the purpose of the Democrats by this change to remove one of their embarrassments to their slender majority With only fifteen margin in so large a body there will often be occa sions when it will be impossible for them to agree to matters to which the Republicans are solidly op posed if a Democratic majority of the whole house has to be present The Committee

fora victory in Manitoba means a loss of three Conservatives in parliament and Sir John Macdonald is said to need all his working force in parliament The facts have been communicated to Tupper who is

this to the president who directed him to show the visit ors into his private library where he said he would see them in a few minutes They proceeded to the room indicated and had just seated themselves when the president entered by the door leading to the cabinet room and received the visitors most cordially Tbe introductions were made by Mr Collins and a short informal conversation
