The rapid depletion Of American forests
to meet the growing demands for lumber
has been discussed with considerable in
terest in and out of Congress. 1t has been
estimated that our lumber supply could
not last many years longer at the rate it is
being exhausted. These estimates took
only the northern forests into considera-
ton. 1t is rather singular that with the
general attention given to the question of
lumber supply southern forests have been
almost entirely overlooked. There are
pine regions in the south extending over
miles and miles of territory wherein the
sound OF the axe has scarcely ever been
heard. The magnificent trees stand in
all their virgin grandeur. In Arkansas.
northern Louisiana. and northern Alabama
Mississippi, and Florida to say nothing
OF other states, there are tens of thousands
Of acres covered with pine.

THE STRIKE.
Half a Dozen Railroad Operators Re.
fuse Western Union Messages and
Are at Once Discharged-Many
Wires Rendered Unfit for
Use-AssOcIated Press
Denounced.

New YORK. July 81.
A Western Union official says there were
only half dozen refusals of the railroad
operators to take Western Union messages
yesterday. These occurred in the vicinity of
New York and in each case the operator
was removed and the place supplied immedi-
ately from the reserve in the employ of the
roads. This was pretty fair indication of
the manner in which the order of the execu-
tive committre of the brotherhood will be
carried out. In none of these cases was the
business of the Western Union affected in
the slightest degree. The affairs of the COM
pany today are in as good condition as could
be expected, and there is no great change in
the situation.
Last night the wires outside Chicago were
interrupted, and the mishap caused some de-
lay until they could be repaired
This morning dozen wires on the north
ern circuits from this city were found out of
order, aud lnemen were sent to investigate
the cause of the difficulty. The trouble in
some cases was remedied by the use of other
circuits, reaching points which had been cut
off in roundabout way, but this was only
possible in one or two instances.
Whether the wires were cut or the inter-
ruption was the result of some accident, is
not known.
The operators in the employ of the West
ern Union company were paid off TODAY
None left and all appeared well satisfied
Manager Desiey of the Western Union said
he had many operators at work who regarded
the strike as nearly ended. At the head
quarters of the strikers today, it was denied
that the wires were cut by striking linemen
Ii wires had been cut by them the brother
hood would order them repaired free of cost
to the company. 1t was said this was simply
an excuse of the company for delaying mes
sages. 1t was denied that any men had re-
turned to work at Philadelphia and it was
said that encouraging reports are coming in
from all parts of the country.
The officers of the Western Union said that
27 wires were either cut or connected with
fine wire so as to be for the time useless, be-
tween New York and Newark on Hackensach
Meadows. Thirteen wires have been cut
between New York and Williams Bridge, and
IL between the latter place and Scarsdale,
and that all wires on the Fort Wayne road
near Englewood, Ills, were also cut.
Two more striking operators have returned
to work. The men at st. John who went out
have all returned. The strikers at Halifax
applied to be reinstated but found their places

THE KILLING OF CAREY.
The London Times Regards it as a Pub.
lie Misfortune.

LONDON, July 81.
O'Donnell, who shot Carey the informer,
was accompanied from England by his wife.
who appeared on intimate terms with the
Carey family. The Times pronounces the
death of Carey public misfortune. 1t says
he has been the instrument of justice, and
the murder is calculated to encourage dar-
ing and lawless spirits to commit acts of vio-
lence.
Carey died without speaking after he was
shot. O'Donnell is an American. He denies
that he knew who Carey was previous to his
arrival at Cape Town. 1t is reported that an
Internal machine was found in O'Donnelrs 5
possession.
A correspondent of the Reuters Telegram
company at Cape Town says that O'Donnell
only took passage for Cape Town, but learn
ing that Carey was a fellow passenger, he
continued on the journey with him on the
steamer Melrose and shst him when that
vessel was near Algoa Bay in the presence
of the informer's family. O'Donnell is calm.
He is strongly guarded, as rumors are ahoat
that an attempt to rescue him will be made.
A fund to be used in defending him is being
collected.

THE RECENT FAILURE.
How the Shaw Brothers Failure Affects
Boston, Bangor and Montreal.

BosroN, July 81.
Much uneasiness is felt today in anticipa-
tion of additional failures in the leather trade
but none were announced accept that of
Macomber & Greenwood. Members of two
of the largest firms that are affected BY the
Shaw failure, this morning express the hope
that they will be able to pull through. 1t
will be some days and perhaps some weeks,
before detailed statement OF the condition
can be prepared. The property covers an
immense territory and is in so many forms
that it must necessarily be long time be-
fore an account of stock can be taken. From
talk among leather men and others it is
learned that in some quarters the failure did
not cause great surprise. Shaw & Bros
paper single name has, for some time, been
ranked as rather below first class by the
largest banks and the firm has been Obliged
to pay about eight per cent for funds. There
is an immense amount of the firms paper
outstanding. One Boston bank alone hold.
for collection for Nova Scotia banks some
$4,000 A dispatch from Bangor states
that about 500, 900 of +. Shaw & Bros
papers is held there. A large amount has
been offered for sale in that city recently. A
prominent party in that city ascribes the
failure to the fact that the Shaws tried to do
too much business, and in their efforts to
control the leather market they lost control
of their own business. The man who took
contracts to peel and haul bark to the tan
neries will suffer heavily, and the business
interests of that and the northern section of
Maine will feel the effects of the crash.
MtSTREAL, July 81.
The failure Of the great leather firm of
Shaw Bros of Boston created cousidera-
BILE excitement here this morning on ac,oun,
of a member of wealthy house here of the
same name and business being a partner in
the Boston firm. On enquire it was ascer-
tained that the failure will not affect the
house here in any way.
BANGOR. July 81.
Although day has passed since the an
nouncement of the failure of f. Shaw 4
Bros. still it is extremely difficult to estimate
in regard to the losses in this vicinity. Good
judges vary in their estimates of the indebt-
edness of the firm in Bangor from $50. 900 to
100000. The Indebtedness against Bangor
mercantile firms is about slS0,OOO. Iii.

She was fined S25 and sent TO Jail, there

The failure of Shaw Brothers, the great
tanners, is attributed to the failure Of the
Copeland house in the shoe business. A
few weeks ago correspondent Of the
Journal gave our readers description OF
some of the tanneries and the great busi-
ness of Shaw Brothers. 1t was a concern
built up from small beginning and con-
sidered one of the best in the country. 1t
