NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Colonel w. l..
Strong, president Of the Central National
Bank, formerly country merchant at
Piqua. Ohio. and John NJ. Golf, who has
acquired a national fame as chief counsel
of the Lexow investigating committee.
we're to-day selected by the committee of
seventy and also by the regular Republi-
can organization to head the municipal
ticket this fall, Colonel Strong being
nominated for Mayor and Mr.. Golf for
Recorder.
The committee of seventy had lively
session late this afternoon at the United
Charities building when the above action
was taken. A letter was read from
Colonel Strong. pledging himself to run
on no partisan basis. Francis M. Scott of
the Grace Democracy raised storm by
stating that ne was opposed to the nomi-
nation OF Colonel Strong, because Re-
publican should not be selected as the
candidate for Mayor. He did not think a
Republican would win in this city. even if
indorsed by all the anti Tammany organi-

Mexico and Guatemala Not

Minister Romero Says That Diaz's
Trouble With Ills Southern
Neighbors Is TrifIing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-A special to the
World from the City of Mexico says: FL
Partido, a semi-official paper. comments
as follows on the relations between Mex
leo and Guatemala: Guatemala cannot
do us harm. She lacks the necessary ele-
ments for war, and the result of a war
would be disastrous to her. But we must
be on the alert. not for fear. which would
be chimerical. but to avoid the expenses
and effusion of blood. Central America
at this moment is worse prepared than
ever for war. The tortuous, petty, greedy
and tyrannical character OF Its rulers has
reduced it to the worst condition. Some
of those countries are justifying the de-
famatory phrase of an eloquent Mexican
orator, who characterized them as a
horde of democratic Kaffirs.' For this
reason certain American statesmen have
expressed a wish that Mexico should as
sumo protectorate over all Central
America to maintain the public peace.
This idea is repugnant TO u.s."
FL Partido quotes approvDgly the ideas s
advanced by Mexican hnancier of this
city, who said recently: "The Monroe
doctrine should be adopted by all the ma
tions of this hemisphere as the guiding
principle. America for Americans'-that
is, the United States for North Ameri-
cans, Mexico for Mexican Americans, and
South America for its own people, it being
distinctly understood that the United
States agrees, if it must absorb more ter
ritroy, to 60 either 10 the north or to the
islands of the ocean," Ell Partido asserts
that the Government is giving study to
railway schemes for placing the imperiled
frontier in connection with this capital.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - Minister Ro-
nero of Mexico says the belligerent tone
of dispatches. stating that Mexican troops
have been sent to the Guatemala frontier,
is unwarranted. The Minister states that
the trouble with Guatemala Is of trifing
importance.

Populists. The Congressman alleges that
gross frauds have been perpetrated by
throwing out PopulIst precincts.
Chairman Taubeneck says the Populists
have nominated State tickets in every
State but Rhode Island. and candidates
for Congress in all the districts of each
State west of the Allegheny Mountains
and south of the Potomac River except
two in Mississippi, two in Louisiana and
one in Tennessee. In New England can
oidates for Congress have been nominated
in 80 per cent of the districts. He claims
that his party will certainly hold the bal
ance Of power in the Senate, and that they
will carry Idaho, Montana, Washin gton.
Nevada, Colorado and the Territory of
Oklahoma, with good chance Of carrying
New Mexico and Arizona. They expect to
hold the balance of power in Illinois,
Kansas, Nebraska and California Legisla-
lures and dictate the election of Senators
in those States. Judge Trumbull of Ili-
nois will speak in Chicago on Monday
night in behalf of the Populists and has so
advised Mr.. Taubeneck.
Much anxiety is felt at the Democratic
Congressional headquarters here over the
situation. The Populists claim they will
elect Webster for Governor of California
and Professor w. c. Bowman of the Sixth
District, and that they might elect Rogers
in the Fifth District Taubeneck declares
that there Will be no fusion with either the
Democrats or Republicans in any Congress
Sonal district.
Representative Cannon of California
has arrived in Washington from West
Virginia, where he has been canvas.ing
William l.. Wilson's district in the inter-
est Of that gentleman for Congress. He
says that Wilson's election is assured
Cannon will not go to California this fall,
but will return to West Virginia and his
speech-making for Wilson. Mr.. Cannon
takes little interest In California politics.
He was not pleased with Congressiona al
life, although he asserts that he
could have been renominated and elected
had he signiied his willingness to be a
candidate again. He says the State ticket
nominated by the Populists Of California
is a contemplate one from top to bottom,
with the exception of Webster, candidate
for Governor, and Bowman, who is run
ming for Congress in the Sixth District.
He is particularly severe on Cornell, who
is running for Congress in the Second
California District He says Cornell is
not a taxpayer. nor is he resident Of
that district. but lives at SummerIands,
Santa Barbara County. Mr. Cannon
thinks that Judge Mcguire will be the
only Democrat elected to Congress from

RESERVES IN DANGER.
Set Aside to Preserve the
Forests.
There Is Now Talk of Turning the
Land Over to the
States.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-What to do with
the forest reserves has become a serious
question in the Department of the Interior.
Congress passed law providing for set
ting apart tracts of lands as forest reserve,
and when so set apart they could not he
entered upon for any purpose whatever.
Acting under this law the President has.
from time to time. set apart tracts which
are known as forest reservations, and in
all there are over 1900. 900 acres thus re-
served in the States of California. Oregon,
Washington, Colorado, Wyoming and Mon
tana, and Utah and Arizona Territories.
No provision whatever has been made for
the care of these reservations.
Under the law they are reserved to the
Government. and no person can make use
of them, yet there is nothing to prevent
persons from going upon them or in any
way defeating the object OF the legislation
and the reservation proclamation. Per-
sons might be prosecuted afterward, but
there is no means of preventing depreda-
tions. Neither Is there any way to pre-
vent forest fires OF other methods of de-
structon. The persons interested in for
est preservation were instrumental in
having the reservation law passed and the
reservation made. They have also tried
to secure laws for the protection of forests.
bDt SO far without success.
One of the most enthusiastic forestry
men in the present administration is As.
sistant Commissioner Bowers of the Gen.
eral Land Office. He has been doing a
good deal toward having reservations
made. and has also been urging legislation
for their preservation and protection
Commissioner Lamoreaux is a practical
lumberman, and referring to the value of
the timber on these forest reservations
says that 60 timber is valuable unless it is
within marketable distance of streams
or railroads, aud at present none of the
lumber of these reservations could be sold.
He does not believe that their timber will
be demanded for half century. A part
of the scheme for the preservation of the
forest includes the sale of timber from
them to pay for their protection. If there
is no demand for the TIM ber this plan will
fail. and it will be necessary for the Gov
ernment to appropriate money for this
purpose.
Already there have been plans pre-
sented for making national parks of these
reservations. and il the first plan fails then
en- effort will be made to turn them over to
the several States for State parks.

CRIMINAL LACK OF JUDGMENT.
The Head of the Detroit Depart

Serious Trouble.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct 5.-Five men are
dead. ten are more or less injured, and
$4,000 worth of property was destroyed
by the burning of Keehan 81 Jahn's five
story furniture-store on Woodward ave-
nue. to-day. The names of the dead are:
Michael Donoehue, lieutenant of chem-
cal engine company.
j. r. Dely, pipemau.
John w. Paget. pipeman.
Julius Cummings. pipeman.
Frederick Bussey, electrical worker.
The list of injured. most of whom are
not badly hurt, is as follows:
Frank E. Stocks, head and face badly
cut.
Michael G. Gray, fireman.
John B. Newell, fireman.
Thomas Carr fireman.
Patrick j. O'Rourke, fireman.
Leslie E. Mcnamara, fireman.
Henry Kimberly. fireman.
Henry Herig. fireman.
Fred Draheim. injured internally, con.
dition critical.
The fire originated at the bottom of the
elevator shaft and swept upward with tre-
menGous swiftness. About sixty-fiye per-
sons were at work in the upper stories,
but all escaped unhurt. The water supply
seemed at first inadequate and the build
ing was soon ruined. After the interior
had partially burned out il became ap-
parent that the front and rear walls were
in danger of falling. but Fire Chief
Elliott allowed bis men to advance toward
1t both from front and rear. Suddenly
the front wall 'sagged forward and the
great mass of hot bricks, timber and iron
crashed downward. Almost at the same
instant the rear wall crumb bled and fell TO
the alley in the rear.
The falling walls broke the heavy elec-
trio and trolley wires. A flash of sputter-
ing electric fluid lighted up the scene, and
the people crowded and surged to get into
stores and down the side streets. A num-
ber of men, women and children were
trampled under the feet of the fTigbtened
spectators, but none were seriously hurt
Amid the tumult Of the panic-stricken
crowd rose the shrieks of the wounded and
imprisoned hremen. Sixteen in all were
in the path of the tumbliDg walls, but ten
escaped alive after few seconds of thrill
ing experience Their comrades worked
to rescue the dying. and the remains of
the dead and all were recovered. Their
limp and crushed remains wera in some
cases almost unrec0gG liable. Chief Elliott
is being roundly scored for endangering
the lives of his men, and an Investigation
will dou btless follow.
