No. 265.]

Sir: The journals have recently announced a decision by the United States Supreme Court declaring the national trade-mark law unconstitutional.

I beg to be advised whether this decision will give occasion to modify your instructions touching a trade-mark convention with Servia and Roumania, and also what information on the subject I shall be authorized to give in answer to inquiries which interested parties here may address to me.

I have, &c.,

JOHN A. KASSON.
