ITASCA STATE PARK.

Those who have paid some attention
to the struggle in the state of New
York, by people who have some re-
gard for future generations, to pre-.
serve the Adirondack forests Of the
great public park, must be impressed
with the importance Of the step taken
by the last legislature to set apart
IS sections Of land about Lake Itasca
in perpertuity for a state park.
To the remorseless lumberman the
reservation Of this great body Of we'll
timbered and we'll watered land is a
mere sentiment. Forethought with
him is mere sentiment. He does
not regard as Of much weight the
commercial and agricultural and
sanitary argument favorable to the
retention Of timber at the headwaters
Of the Mississippi. Nevertheless the
legislature did very wise thing and
the people Of the state should be
directly INTERCEPTED in the efEectuation
Of the act. a
Commissioner Brewer has already
begun his work, for which he is we'll
qualified by his thorough acquaint-
snce with the Itasca Lake region, and
is FIRST obtaining abstracts of the lands
to be set apart. The Detroit Record
says that of the 35 sections, 5000
acres are owned by individuals, 5000
by the Northern Pacific and 1900
acres are state school and swamp
lands and there is only one actual
settler in the whole tract which Is
beautifed by more than 100 lakes.
The land is heavily timbered and
pictnresquely diversified with, hills
and pretty valleys and meadows.
The park possibilities Of the region
are great, and il viii be in order for
the state not only to construct roads
and make it accesible, but to make it

NEW York, Feb. 6.-Beef and cattle
slippers and others having business with
big ocean steamships do not enjoy the
same facilities of old in the way of send
ing freight across the water to parts of
the United Kingdom. One or two of
their big lines have decreased their sery
ice to the extent of withdrawing about
one vessel every other week, and arrange
ments have been agreed upon among
themselves by which sailing dates have
been changed, not always to the adyant-
age of the shippers. For instance. after
March 14th, the Guion Line. which now
sail on Tuesdays, Will sail on SATURDAYS.
and in conjunction with this proposed
change is the Inconvenience caused shin
pers by the Guion Line dropping boat
every other week.
Since Christmas they have let three
sailing days go by without sending out a
vessel. Thus nearly one-third of the sery-
ice lOf these three big lines of steamships
has been taken off. The reason for the
change is found in the dock strikes in the
United Kingdom. OF late the labor api-
tators on the other side have been giving
the steamship lines great trouble, and it
was arranged to take off these vessels in
order to give the strikers an object lesson
that they would remember. The loss of
employment, owing to business being
driven away by constant and irritating
strikes, would be the shortest and easiest
way OF bringing the dock workers to their
senses.

The Object of VandeveI.'s Bill Merely

WASHINGTON, Feb. .6.-Telegrams from
California indicate that Vandever's bill
in relation to Yosemite Park is not clear
ly understood on the coast. The object of
this bill is merely to correct an am
biguity. The amended description, as
contained in the bill favorably reported
yesterday, has been carefully prepared at
the General Land Office.
The Commissioner of the General Land
Office says, in transmitting the aforesaid
description, that by reference to the pro-
vlso to Section l of said Act it will be
observed that nothing in the Act is to be
construed as in anywise affecting the
grant of lands made to the State of Cali
fornia by virtue of the Act entitled an Act

1t would appear from the language of

big tree grant lies in township 5 south.

TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE IN NEW
ACQUAINTANCEs.
Charles Newkom of Sutter County
Mourns the Loss of Fifteen
Hundred Dollars.
Special to the REcoRp-UN1oN.

NJ
MARYsvILLE, Feb. 6.-Charles New
kom, well-known rancher of Sutter
county, was victimized out of 81 500 yes
terday by confidence sharps.
A man called on him, claiming that he
was looking for a land investment. He
obtained Newkom's confidence, and both
got buggy and started to look at the
country. They were soon met by another
man, claiming that he was travelling in
the interest of the Louisiana lottery. He
said he wanted to overcome the prejudice
against the lottery by having several
prominent men win large prizes. He
showed how he could win any prize
wanted. He said he would have the two
new acquaintances win as much as they
would show coin.
Stranger No. / offered to put up IS, 500
if Newkom would show 81 500. Newkom
agreed, and both came to town after the
money. Newkom got a check from the
bank, but the strangers said the check
would not do-that he must show the
coin. He then got the check cashed, and
which he said was his $500. He offered
Newkom another box to put his in. The
coin was then put in and the box locked.
Stranger No. 2 said he had received a
telegram calling him to Tehama, and
asked the men to meet him at Marysville
next Saturday. They agreed, and New
kom was handed the box and went home.
On opening the box next morning he
found two clods of dirt and some shot in
the box.
The confidence men had changed boxes
and skipped with the coin. Officers are at
work, but there is little hope of the cul-
prlts' apprehension,

POOR OUTLOOK FOR THE WEST
ERN TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
The Men I'm Charge Fail to See How
the scheme Can be Successfully
Carried Out.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

Special to the RECORD-UNIoN.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The prospects of the
successful launching of the Western
Traffic Association are growing more and
more dubious. The men who have be-
heved that it would be pushed to sue
cessful issue now say they do not see how
the scheme can be carried out, in view OF
the obstacles being thrown in its way.
The Santa Fe has practically blocked
the provision for competitive traffic, the
most important feature of the plan, by re-
fusing to make up the deficiency due
other lines by diverting freight to them
at Kansas City, or ordered by the arbi-
traitors of the tonnage pool.
The Santa 'Fe refuses, on the ground
that it is entitled to more than forty per
cent. OF the total traffic from southwest
ern Missouri River points, and has been
getting less than thirty.
Chairman Walker says that the arbi-
traitors can do nothing in the face of such
a state of affairs, and acknowledges that
the agreement has been broken.
In passenger affairs the Santa Fe has
also wilfully violated the pledges by dis
turbing the rates between st. Louis and
Chicago in connection with the Jackson
vile and Southeastern.
Chairman Finley has issued an order
that the Santa Fe must no longer honor
tickets of the Jacksonville and Southeast
ern, but it is believed that the order will
not be obeyed, and the result will be the
Santa Fe's withdrawal from the Western
Passenger Association, in which case it
cannot be a member of the Presidents
Association, and it is freely predicted
that unless the Santa Fe changes its
policy the Western Traffic Association
will never be put in operation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The members
OF Congress are having good deal of fun
with Representative Clunie. The latter
is very popular, and usully gives and
takes jokes with a relish, but he fails to
appreciate the joke about his speculating
III silver, and for which he was hauled
up before the Investigating committee.
Everybody knows what an inveterate
joker Clunie is. A party of Congress-
men were relating his famous joke on
himself, where he holds out his right
hand and says solemnly: ''There is a
hand that never took bribe;n then adj
vancing his left, ''but this one I have no
control over" and it was said that Clunie
had been joking about his losses on silver.
Clunie denies that he ever joked about
his silver speculations, but at any rate.
some of his colleagues conceived the idea
of having him brought before the Silver
Committee, and the intrigue was success
fully carried out.
Clunie's serious protestations of inno-
cence, and emphatic declaration, only in
creased the merriment of his colleagues.
For while, Clunie was very mad, and
insisted that such a joke was calculated to
get man into trouble. However, it was
made clear to the Californian that not a
man in Washington believes he ever
bought an ounce of silver in his life for
speculative purposes, and all is again
serene on the Potomac.

cashier of the Hanover National Bank,
was recalled by the Silver Pool Commit
tee to-day. He denied much of Owenby's
testimony, and especially the statements
OF Owenby to the effect that witness stated
that Congressman were interested in sill
yer speculation, and further declared that
he had never had silver transac-
ton in his life. AS to the letter from a
Senator, the witness testified that one
day Owenby was in his office and saw a
Senate envelope. Owenby eyed it, and
remarked: II know the handwriting;
it is that of the Secretary of so-and-so.H
Witness did not say whose writing it
was, but did say to Owenby that if he
dared ask the Senator he would tell wit
ness all about the silver bill Witness
explained the statement by saying that
he had previously asked the Senator sew
eral questions, and did not feel like tax
ing up his time with further inquiries.
This was in June. The letter from the
Senator did not relate to speculations, but
was i'll response to a request for informa-
ton as to the progress of the silver bill.

With regard to the refrigerator branch

There was an entire absence of any evil

any refrigerator stock had been offered
Tor sale to or purchased by any of the
employees of the Pension Office, or that
there was any stock held by anyone for
the benefit of employees or any of their

finds that Tanner spent four days while
he was on his yearly leave of absence on
the company's business, and wrote few
letters for the company, but that he was
never interested in the Universal Refrig-
orator Company, and his promotion was
due to Commissioner Tanner, who ap-
pointed him.
The committee finds that there is no

truth in the charges that Lemon pro-
cured situations in the Pension Office for

PORTLAND, Feb. Ga special from
Boise City, Idaho, says: The Democratic
members of the Legislature held a caucus
last night, and, it is generally believed,
agreed to take hand in the proposed
effort to elect Senator to contest the seat
of Senator-elect Dubois. 1t is said a reso-
luton will be introduced in the Senate
declaring the election of a United States
Senator for the full term, six years from
March 4th next, to have been illegal, and
favoring the election of successor to
Mcconnell. The supporters of Judge
Claggett claim to have enough votes to
carry the measure through both Houses
and give him majority on joint ballot.
THE RESOLUTION PASSES THE SENATE.
BOISE CITY Qda.), Feb. 6.-In the Sem
ate to-day resolution was offered that as
doubt existed as to the validity of the
election of Dubois as United States SEN
ator for the term beginning March 4,
next, the Legislature meet in joint ses-
sion and elect q Senator for that term.
The resolution was adopted by vote of
8 to s, the Democrats voting with the
friends of Judge Claggett.
The resolution will come up in the
House tomorrow, where its fate is in
doubt, though there seems to be prob
bilit V of its success.
