THE BRUssELs CONFERENCES.

Secretary Foster says Recess Was Ex-
pected BY the Administration.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Secretary Eos
ter said this afternoon at the treasury de-
partment be thought ita grave mistake to
assume that the monetary conference viii
prove to be failure. The taking OF a
recess was expected by the administration
when the American delegates left here.
Rothchild's proposition and his declara-
ton that unless something be done to in
sure the better use of silver among ma
tons and the serious consequences to fol-
low, Is in itself hopeful indication that
prominent bankers of the world feel the
necessity of reaching an agreement of
such nature as viii secure approximate
uniformity the world over in dealing with
the question. The secretary said SO far
as he was personally concerned all he ex-
pected OF the preliminary conference had
been accomplished. The general feeling
of the conference is even more favorable
Than was anticipated.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-[Special. 1.-The
eleventh annual meeting of the American
Forestry association begins in the de-
partment Of agriculture at 10 O'Clock this
morning. This meeting it is announced.
will be principally a business meeting for
the purpose of electing officers for the
ensuing year and for the discussion of
means to secure the establishment OF the
policy advocated by the association with
regard to the administration of the public
timber lands. The Availability of hold
ing an extra meeting during the progress
of the Worlds fair viii also be con-
sidered. A statement issued by the
secretary says:
1.-THE avowed policy of the association,
TO which it has bent all its energies dur
ing the last four years, is to secure the
reservation and rational management OF
all public timber lands not fit for agri-
culture as permanent forests. This policy
has been in part successfully inaugurated.
Our policy does not contemplate closure
and exclusion, but opening for intelligent
and rational use by all who are equitably
entitled to the same. In other words the
reservations when made must also be ad-
ministered so that their legitimate use is
rendered possible.
s'Not only must they be protected from
fire and depreciation, but the timber must
be cut under vice methods and supervis-
ion, mines must DE opened under proper
precaution, and occupancy, for whatever
purposes seems needful, must be regu-
lated; all this in such manner as to Sc
cure the greatest usefulness of the forest
reserve, without injury to its future, and
TO obtain the indirect benefits expected
from it in the preservation of favorable
water and soil conditions.
