relating to timber reservations was to-
day promulgated from the general land
Office. After quoting section "a of the
general land act of March 3, 1891. the
circular says: To carry into effect said
provisions it becomes important to
reserve all public lands bearing
forests, or covered with timber or
underground, on which the timber
is not absolutely required for the legit-
innate use and necessities of the resi-
dents Of the state or territory in which
the lands are situated, or for the pro-
motion of settlement or development of
the natural resources of the section of
the state Or territory in the Immediate
vicinity of the particular lands in ques-
ton. In so doing it is of the first i'm
portance to reserve all public lands in
mountainous or other regions which are
covered with timber or underground at

Pinkertons Come HIGH.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 16.-An indica-
ton of the enormous losses certainly
suffered by operators during the pres
ent strike, was shown by the posting of
sheriff's sale notices to-day in the West
Overton works. This plant has been
running with nOn-union men, at a
heavy loss in cost of large force of
guards and in orders for coke. The
Valley and Redstone plants Will
be started Monday with imported
men who arrived tonight. The
strikers are greatly encouraged by the
attitude of Independent operators in
backing them in their fight, which in
reality has all along been against the
Frick company. Next Tuesday will be
decisive day. Ballots have been or
dered taken by the men as to whether
they will or will not work The result
is to be reported at a delegate conven-
ton Tuesday. and heavy vote is ex-
pected for work. as Frick can GER
tainly secure ali foreign labor necessary.

CLARKsoN CRUCIFIED.
Commissioner Roosevelt Roasts

commissioner Roosevelt ROaStS
the Iowa Editor to Turn.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 16.-An
elaborate banquet was given this even
ing at the PrOpylaem by a number
of gentlemen Interested in civil service
reform to Hon Mr.. Roosevelt. The
principal address of the evening was
made by Mr.. Roosevelt, who, after
speaking at some length on the work.
lngS OF the civil service, launched out
an answer to the recent article of John
). ClarkSOn in the North American Re-
view in way that tended to fully
arouse those of the banquetters who
might have been inclined to drowsiness.
He characterized ClarksOn's article as
loose diatribe equally compounded of
rambling defamation and misstate-
ment. He vigorously denied the truth
OF Clarkson'S assertion that the civil
service commission was more opposed
to the Republican party under Harrl.
son than it was under Cleveland. The
commission is merely enforcing the law.
he said 1t was Just as foolish for Mr..
Clarkson to say that the Democrats had
purchased the mugWump papers as it
was to declare that they had purchased
Mr.. ClarkSon to write the article,
which really played into the Democrats
hands. Then Mr.. Roosevelt accused
Mr.. Clarkson of running the postoffice
department as a ''spOils' machine,
treating fOurth-claSs offices as simply
the property of congressman, good or
bad, i'll whose districts they were situ-
ated. In conclusion, Mr.. Roosevelt said
President Harrison and the civil service
commission under him were doing
everything in their power to enforce the
civil service laws and extend their scope.

WASHINGTON, May 16-The presI
dent resumed his official duties at the
White house to-day just as though moth
ing unusual had occurred. He was at
his desk from o'clock until with the
exception of an hour for lunch. and a
portion OF this time was spent in the
East room shaking hands with a party
of eXcursionists from PENNSYLVANIA.
He disposed of considerable routine
business during the day, and had
conferences on important official
matters. The Behring sea ques-
ton requires immediate consider
alton, and the president will
devote his attention to that first with a
view of having the governments policy
IN regard to the sea fisheries, so far as
the present season is concerned, clearly
defined pending the final settlement OF
the controversy by the slower processes

sailing orders OF the revenue cutters as.
signed to duty in Behring sea will be
made out and iss sued next week. The
illness of Secretary Blaine may
necessitate a slight delay in the
preparation of these Instructions,
but 1t will be only temporary.
however, as both the president
and the secretary of the treasury are
thoroughly conyersant with his views
on the subject, and could act in accord
ance Herewith without any further
further consultation with him, and
without the least danger of disturbing
the status of the negotiations on tile
subject with the British government.
Another matter that will probably be
disposed of next week is the appoint
ment of the land court commissioners.
Although there was no meeting of the
cabinet, about every cabinet officer in
town called during the day and had a
short chat over matters pertaining to
the departments.

INSURANCE AND SUICIDE.
Judge Caldwell Decides That
Seif-Murder Cuts No Figure.

KANSAS CITY, May 6.-Judge Cald-
we'll, of the United States circuit court.
handed down an important decision
yesterday in case involving the pay
ment of life insurance to the heirs OF a.
suicide. The title of the suit was:
William II. Berry ct. al, against The
Knights Templar and Masonic Life In
demnity Company. The case was tried
at the last term of the United States
circuit court, when it was shown that
John b. Berry took out a policy in the
abov named company for $1,000. The
conditions of the policy provided
in case of self-destruction the
policy should become void.
On Nov. ), 1889, Berry committed sui
eide by hanging. The holders of the
policy made due proof of Berry's death
and demanded payment of the policy.
The company refused to pay upon the
ground that the policy was void, by rea-
son of the suicide conditions. In his de-
cision, Judge Caldwell says: The
clause in the policy declaring it void in
case OF the suicide of the assured, is
itself void under the 59S2d section of
the revised statutes of the state of Mis-
souri,, viz: In all suits upon policies
of insurance on life hereafter issued by
any company doing business in this
state, it shall be no defense that the as
sured committed suicide, unless it shall
be shown that the assured contemplated
suicide at the time he made his appliea-
ton for the policy, and any stipulation
IN the policy to the contrary shall be
void ~
