delegation Of the American forestry
congress, composed Of men from all parts of
the country, headed by Gov. Beaver of
Pennsylvania who is the president of the
congress, waited upon the President on
Wednesday to engage his attention in be.
half of sound forest policy for the United
States Senator Hawley accompanied the
delegation and earnestly commended the
objects Of the memorial presented. The
points urged by the delegation in present
ing their memorial, which were emphasized
by Gov. Beaver as all-important, were
briefly stated by Mr.. Eggleston as follows !:
There are three principal reasons for enact
ing legislation in behalf Of the public tim
Der domain first, the moral obligation Of
the government to give TO settlers an OPP
portunity to satisfy, in legitimate manner,
their necessities for lumber second, the
desirability of saving To the nation an an
nual material loss Of from $lO, 900, 600 to
$50, 600, 600, occasioned 10y fire and by theft
from public domain third, the broader
consideration that 10y the denuding Of the
western mountain slopes, on which this ma
tional property is situated, favorable water
flow and soil conditions are endangered,
thus injuring the agricultural prospects Of
the lands at the foot Of the mountain
ranges. The President listened with inter
est, evidently feeling a temporary relief
from the buzz of office seeking statesmen.

Gritty SchooI-Marms.

CINCINNATI, February 6.-Miss
Finn, teacher OH the ground floor of
the second intermediate school on 9th
street, near Main street. saw this
morning burning Goals falling down
the hot air shaft from which the
register opens. She knew the build
ing was on fire. There are seven
hundred pupils on the third
floor and she gave fire
alarm in the prescribed way and the
teachers instantly marshalled all
their pupils as if they were soldiers,
and marched them out as coolly as
veterans down one stairway, while
firemen were running up one after
another, with their hose. Not a sign
of panic was seen exceptin the person
of the janitress.

OUR RELATIONS WITH SAMOA.
SEVENTEEN YEARS OF FRIENDLY
INTERCOURSE WITH THE ISLANDS
THE DEPosED KING MALE
TOA AND THE PRESENT
KING, TAMAsEsE.

The United States government be
gan a friendly intercourse with the
Samoan islands in 1872, but the agree
ment then made between Commander
Richard w. Meade, of the United
States Navy and the "Great Chief OF
the Bay of POngo POngo, of the is
lands of Tutula" has never been
made public. Six years after treaty
was made with the islanders giving
the United States a coaling station in
the harbor of Pago-Pago. A request
that our government should assume
the protectorate of the islands had
then been made but declined. In
recognized the independent nationali-
ty of the Samoan islands. On June
10Th, 1885, Secretary Bayard stated
the American policy with regard to
the islands to be one of neutrality so
long as our rights were respected and
no single foreign flag assumed domin-
ion. 1t was in 1879 that the English,
German and American cOnsuls
devised in cooperation scheme
for the purpose of establishing a
good local government for the
town of Apia and it's suburbs. In this
agreement, which was signed by the
English and German cousuls, King
Malietoa, the same whom the Ger
mans lately deposed, was recognized.
OF the three governments having in
terests in Samoa those of Germany
lead. Hence the assumption by that
power of interference with Samoan
affairs. In 1880 Germany began to en-
courage that native opposition to King
Malietoa, which has eliminated in his
dethronement and exile.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1850
THE BUSINESS END OF ETC.

In the lengthy and labored defense
of the mayor of this city, contained in
yesterdays Times, Bryan Callaghan
says:
"Another count: That no meetings
of the city council have been held,
and the quorum purposely broken,
ard that it was done with the inten-
ton of defeating the council of its
power to appoint judges of election:
The council has no such power"
AS the LIGHT has preferred this
charge it is in order for it to answer.
Mark the language of his honor-THE
COUNCIL HAS NO SUCH POWER. In
support of this statement he says:
Chapter XIX, Section 8, of revised
ordinances, recites: The mayor or
other authority ordering the election
shall appoint the presiding officers,
etc.
This is Bryan Callaghan's quota
ton from the ordinances; the etc. and
all being an exact quotation from the
mayors defence. The LIGHT happens
to have copy of the revised ordi-
nances in its Office and will give the
"etc." which his honor omitted:
"The mayor or other authority Or
dering the election, shall appoint the
presiding officers, and the CITY CoUN-
GIL SHALL SELECT THE JUDGES OF
ELECTION, but on failure of the city
council to select. or refusal or failure
Of those selected to act, then the pre-
siding officer of each election precinct
shall, on or before the day of election,
select, etc."
How is this for high. This
etc. knocks the wind out
of his honor's attempted ex-
PLANTATION and confirms every word
charged in the LIGHT. The mayor
will have no quorum; the council can
not act; the presiding officer of the
election Chosen by Callaghan) selects
the judges of election. Wonderful
and most potent, etc. How it covers
the trail of garbled explanation and
turns the calcium upon its crooked
ness. This is but a sample of all else
that pretends to be explanation in that
wonderful two column article which
would require lifetime to explain it's
explanation. Great is the mayor and
his etc. is greater still.

Four years after the king was forced
by the Germans to sign a treaty Civ
ing nearly an entire control of the
affairs of Samoa in to their hands. He
afterwards refused to carry out the
agreement and was driven from the
seat of government. The American
consul then gave Malietoa the formal
protectorate by this country, an act
promptly disavowed by our govern
ment. Afterwards England, Germany
and America agreed to conference
on Samoan affairs. No settlement was
reached when it sat in Washington,
in 1881, and no meeting has been held
since. Meanwhile, in December last,
the Germans assisted in those mill
tary operations by which Malietoa was
deposed and the rebel Tamasese made
king in his place. Malietoa is now
virtually prisoner in the Marshall
Islands, at Jaliut, Bonham Island,
and guarded by German soldiers.

Why Are They Dumb.

night, asked: "Where is Colonel Bel

is the matter with that grand man,
Geo. w. Russ, of West End, the lieu
tenant of Blue Jeans Williams, why
is he so silent? Where are all the en-
terprising men and heads of the other
corporations IN this city? Why are
they silent, and afraid to express
themselves on the side of reform and
good government. They are afraid of
oppression at the hands of King Gala

try is imported from Belgium. An
other serious objection is that the in

Women Scatteract a Saloon.

LINCOLN, Neb. February 6.-Word
has been received from Prosser,
Adams county, that band of fifty
prominent ladies in that county made
a crusade on the saloon and gambling
house at that place Monday night,
demolishing the entire establishment.
The ladies attacked the building
when it was crowded, with their
aprons full of Jumps of coal, breaking
every window glass and cleaning out
the establishment. The inmates
scattered in every direction, some of
the loungers being husbands of the
women. Whisky and beer flowed
freely in the gutter. The place has
had hard reputation for selling
liquor without license.
Fearful Imitation of 'WhitechapeI.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, February 6.
Via New Orleans.-Either Jack
the Ripper" of Whitechapel, has
emigrated from the scene of his
CHASTITY murders, or he has found one
or more imitators in this part of Cen
trail America. People have been
greatly aroused by six Of the most
atrocious murders ever committed
within the limits of this city. The
assassin las vanished and left no
traces for Identification. All his vic
Tins are women of the same character
as those who met their fate at the
hands of the London murderer. They
were found murdered just as mysteri-
ously, and evidences point to almost
identical methods. Two were butch
cred out of all recognition, even their
faces were most horribly slashed, and
in the cases of all the others their per-
sons were frightfully dsfigured; like
Jack, the Ripper's victims; they were
found in out of the way places. Two
of the victims were possessed OF
gaudy jewelry and from that it is
urged the mysterious murderer had
not committed the crime for robbery.
In fact, in almost every detail, the
| crimes and characteristics are identi-
cal with the Whitechapel horrors.

Loose Farming.

1t is a serious mistake for farmer to
undertake mora than he can do well and
thoroughly, says the Baltimore Sun. 1t is
much better to properly cultivate te2 acres
than it is to half d. twenty, and. generally
speaking. as much of a crop would be raised
on ten acres under such circum SAL ces as
there would be on twice ten. There is no
industry where real thoroughness gives
more evidence of advantage than farming
The thrifty, tidy, handsome farms We see
have not been made such by careless mahip-
ulatlons. The proper preparation Of ground
for any crop is half the BATTLE for no mat
ter Low prime the seed, the soil must be
congeuial, both in kind and preparation, to
secure the bet-paying results. Quality in
farming wi give better harvests than
quantity. Every intelligent farmer must
realize the fact, and observa ton will prove
that it is the small farms that are the most
profitable Large farms rarely have the
number OF men employed that is necessary
at seasons. Seeding time comes, and bad
weather has delayed the work, and the con-
sequence is it is rushed through, half done,
and then the next jJb is performed in the
same way. Many farmer has had t.
have wo done over the sec nd time, aud
then he yield is not as much as if it had
been properly done in the first place. A
successful farmer was recently asked what
his system OF farming was, and replied:
Il try to make my farm self-supporting. /
diversity my crops, and purpose in the flu
lure to plant less, ma pure more and work
better. keep as much of what produce on
IL farm as possible" In reply TO the ques-
ton how farming could be made to pay,
lis answer was: "By giving your farm IS
81 Sc attention as IN rcuant or any other
business man gives to his business, by di-
versifying your crops, raising u the farm
everything you use as far as possible, by
paying cash for what you are compelled to
buy, thereby avoiding time prices" This is
