Washington report details 1890 black population by state, showing Mississippi and Georgia as large black populations. It argues the so called Mississippi plan disenfranchises black voters, reduces their political power, and skews Congressional representation, affecting national politics and the upcoming Democratic convention. It compares Southern and Northern voting, warns of constitutional implications, and highlights stark disparities in vote totals and representation.

Foreign Patents Mislaid In High Court Suit Over Navy Gun Mounts
In Washington on June 3 a trial in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia pivots on a United States patent for a gun-mounting system. Sir William Armstrong sues Admiral O Neil and others alleging the Strauss patent overlooked an earlier Brankston patent from 1888. The case tests whether a quasi judicial Patent Office officer may testify about his prior duties and findings, a point regarded as novel by Justice Cole.
