LONDON, Oct. s1.-Attorney General
Webster, addressing meeting of Con-
servatives at Hyde. made the statement
that if the Irish parliament, for which
the Home Rulers We're clamoring, were
intended to be given authority over
strictly local matters only, the govern
ment stood ready not alone to concede it
but was prepared TO father 4 measure to
that end. He did not believe, however,
that Mn. Parnell and his supporters in
Ireland. whatever might be said of his
English allies, would remain long salts

PURLIO TImBER sTEALING.

4 committee representing the American Forestry congress laid before President aar- rison the other day memorial in which he was urged to recommend the enactment of laws designed to preserve the timbers on the public lands. It is pointed out in the mem- orial that millions of acres of timber land have been disposed of at prices that would not cover the cost of surveying them, and that the purchasers, after enriching them- selves by cutting off the timber have aban- doned the land as comparatively worthless. Reference is made also to the public timber taken by thieves. The memorialists say: These great and precious harvest fields have been reaped in many cases without the pre- liminary payment of even the small pittanee required by the government to secure the fee simple of the land. For years the timber property of the nation has been fraudulently taken, not only by individuals, but by corpo- rations, great and small. So long has this been done, and 50 feeble has been the resis- tance of the government, that the public con- science has been greatly demoralizsd thereby, and when prosecutions of the offenders have undertaken it has besn almost impossible to secure their conviction on account of the re- fusal of witnesses to testify.
 It is further shown from the reports of the Land office that the value of public timber Reported to have been stolen in the seven years ending with 1887 was $36, 719, 1885 and that the government recovered from the thieves in those years only SAYS, ,O78, al- though this paltry sum exceeded the appro- rfafi Ia &Lo sl,o Der and the detection of those who were stealing it. For example, SIPS, ,642 was re- covered in 1887, and the appropriation for that year was only $75, 1000. It should be understood that there is stolen considerable quantity that is not estimated in the reports because the government has no official knowledge of it.
 Honest efforts have been made by the Land commissioners to stop this stealing and to recover some of the proceeds of it, but they have been almost futile. The New York Times thus places the responsibility: The blame should be laid upon Congress and upon unworthy eubordinates of the department of justice, whose duty it was to prosecute the thieves. At the same time it should not be forgotten chat the oonviotion of those who have stolen land or timber is secured with great difficulty, even when the prosecutors are in earnest and are not restrained by the governments failure to supply money for absolutely necessary expenses. Owing to the influence of members of congress who did not desire that the land laws should be strict ly enforced or that those who had violated them should be punished, the appropriations suit of the guilty have been withheld by the Legislation repeatedly and urgently recom- mended by MT.

It is Charged" by the Democrats, that
 in a force of 5 300 in the railroad mail ser
 vice changes to the number of 2,500 have
 been made since March 4. And business
 men and others are hoping that if necessary
 to improve the service the 3, 500 will have to
 go.
 Hereafter, 1t is announced, the boats to be
 carried by Atlantic steamers, instead of be
 ing made of wood, will be made of steel, in one piece. Wooden boats rot and are easily crushed. The new boats will be built by
 machinery especially made for rolling them
 out in all sizes in a single plate. General Clark, clerk of the house of repre- sentatives, who makes up the list of the members elect, has issued printed 'unoff- cial list" By this list the house stands 164 Republicans and 161 Democrats, but when the official list is called by the clerk next December it will very likely stand: Repub- licsns 16S, Democrats 162. The new States will send five members, increasing the num- Der to 330.
 Stockholders in this vicinity in the Chica- go, Burlington and Quincy and Rock Island railroads will be interested in the announce ment that Francis B. Cooley and Daniel R. Howe of Hartford will attend the annual meetings of these companies, to represent eastern owners independent of the manage
 ment, and that proxies may be sent them They propose to favor 8 conservative policy as they did at the annual meeting of the Illi- nois Central, and to act in the interest solely of the shareholders outside of the manage ment.

Queer stories have been atioat for some time
past regarding the associated elevators and
Sherman Brothers s. Co. Complaints are
said TO have come from buyer and seller OF
shortages in grain taken from all these ele-
vators, and not only this but the serious
charge OF mixing grain has also been made
against them.
An investigation IS said TO have revealed

Certain warehouse receipts are out for which
there Is no grain in store.
1t was learned from trustworthy source
that criminal warrant has been issued
against William Il Sherman, who is sup
posed TO have gone to Canada. s r. Sher-
man left some time ago for trip 10 Europe.
Mfr, K G. Hawks, wlN0 owns large interest
in the International elevator, said TO re-
porter that he did not like to say much about
the matter, inasmuch as Mr. S. f. Sherman,
who has the management Of the associated
elevators, is on his way home from Europe

The shortage may amount to 100000
worth, be added. "The stocks at the e!eva-
tors are being usd up. No one W II lose any
thing except the elevator proprietors. Mr..
Sherman has money invested in the eleva-
tor, and so has his father. Il would seem
strange indeed il he has jeopardized his busi-
ness and other prospects by doing anything
that will bring punishment 70 him. Tho bnsi-
ness men who are interested In different ele-
vators are Of high mercantile standing and
financial responsibility.
