FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.
The Convention at Washington VIII
Try to Get the Paddock
Bill Passed.

Washington, ID. c., Dee. 2S.-The thig-
teenth annual session of the American
Forestry association began here today at
the department of agriculture. There was
only a small attendance at the opening
session and after a brief meeting the
convention took a recess. About dozen
of the members of the association called
at the white house and were introduced to
the President by Secretary Morton.
The report of Prof. Fernow, chairman
of the executive committee of the associa-
ton, was read. 1t said that there had
been noteworthy increase of interest in
forestry matters during the past year and
instanced special meetings in Albany,
Brooklyn and the White mountains, at
szyhich steps were taken looking to preser-
Yarion of Eastern forests, The most i'm
portant advance made during the Year
was in the passage of the McRae forest.
~ bill. This bill, the report said, was not
altogether satisfactory, but was a con-
siderable step forward and the associa'
,tion would continue to push what has be-
come known as the Paddock bill, which
looks to the control of the forests by
aDecial commission.

BANK OFFICERS ARRESTED.
Directors of the Commercial Bank
at ST. Johns, NJ. F., Charged
with fraud.

St Johns, n. F., Dec. THE directors
and managers of the Commercial bank
were arrested today on warrants issued by
Judge Conroy. They are charged with
Presenting a false statement of the banks
condition at the last annual meeting, by
including among the assets of the bank
securities which were hypothecated to the
London and Westminster banks in order
to offset overdrafts on it. The warrants
were issued on the initiative of DR.. Skel-
ton of the board of trustees, the board
authorizing them. The directors are: A.
F. Goodridge, ex-premier of Newfound-
land James Goodfellow, chairman of the
board of directors; e. J. Duder, George
A. Hutchings and James Petts, an ex-
cabinet minister. The latter, however, is
not yet in custody, as he is in Nova Scotia.
The manager arrested is named Henry
Cook. Bail will be accepted for all the
prisoners. No allegations are made of
oersoLhl misrepresentation, and some of
he leading lawyers say that the arrests
ire q mere technicality.

TO REFORM ARMENIA.
Constantlnople Ministers Adopt q
Plan-No American lnvesti-
gator.

Constantinople, Dec 2S.-It now seems
definitely settled that the United States
minister, Alexander Terrell, does not in
tend to send anybody to make an indie
pendent inquiry into the stories told of
Turkish atrocities in Armenia. The mo-
tive of this decision, it is believed, is prob
ably because such an inquiry is not neces-
saTy in view of the fact that the powers
signatory to the Berlin treaty, particular
~ England, are supervising the inquiry,
which IS being made on behalf of the
Turkish government. At the last council
of ministers there was a long discussion
of the many projects suggested for re-
form in Armenia, and it is reported one
plan of consolidation and other improve
ments were adopted
The Armenians of the Van district are
said to be in a deplorable condition.
Numbers of the inhabitants are being con-
stantly summoned from their villages by
the Turks, and they are afterwards de-
tanned for examination and are thus pre-
vented from tilling the land. Consequent
ly scarcity of crops is expected in 1895.

DOLE is STINGY.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani Had "Money
to Burn" and Therefore
was Popular.

San Francisco. Cal, Dec GA special
to the Examiner from Victoria. B. c.,
says: ut was learned recently in an
interview with a well-informed authority
| III Honolulu that an important cause Of
the disaffection in Honolulu is the Mig
/ gardlineSs of President Dole and the
cabinet. Dole, though receiving $4,000
does not spend more than $1,000, while
under the Royalist regime the Queen and
her supporters were most lavish.
"A mlsinterpretation has been placed
on Liliuokalani's position toward those
who stirred up the revolution says the
informant. "She did not demand their
heads. United States Minister Willis
who was friendly to the provisional gov
eminent, waited on the Queen, and, the
conversation turning on amnesty for the
revolutionists in the event of her restora-
ton, the Queen said that she must have
tlme to consult her advisers and be gov
erned by them. The Interpretation was
given she must have their lives Min
lister Willis went to Dole and demanded
me government be turned over to the
Queen.
Some of the men now in power were
IN the Queens service, and the moment
they see. prospect of a change will de-
sert to her. Others who see that they
can make nothing will stand by the
Present system. A majority of the ma
tiyes favor the Queen, and are jealous of
foreign interference,
"A very strong feeling still exists
against annexation to the United States,
and even members of the American
league are not at all favorable, however
much may be said of the election It is
one-sided, as a majority of the people
would not take the oath of allegiance.
Money is scarce, as the operation of the
Mckinley bill has almost destroyed the
sugar industry, and the Wilson bill only
benefits the United States sugar trust
to the disadvantage of Hawaiian sugar
growers, whom annexation would not
benett because it would make it impossi-
bic to employ cheap Oriental labor.

HORSE CAR WRECKED.
The Driver Fails to See an Approach
ing Freight Train-NO
Fatalities

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. ga Star spe-
cial from Carthage. Mo-, says: ''This
morning at 9 o'clock, Jacob Bruffel, a
driver on the Carthage horse car line,
came down the hill toward the Frisco de-
pot with his mules on a dead run. He had
carload of passengers who wanted to
catch the Joplin train, which was just
about to pull out. He didn't see a Frisco
freight switching on the track, nor did he
hear the shouts of warning from the train
men and half dozen spectators, but at
tempted to cross the track. A collision
was the result. The car was knocked
about twenty feet and totally wrecked.
A number of the passengers were injured.
but owing to the fact that the engineer OF
the freight reversed his engine a serious
fatality was ayerted. Mrs. Hill of Sar-
coke was knocked senseless and badly
cut about the head and face. Mrs. Slower,
also of Sarcoxie. had her back hurt.
George Currie of Clinton had his hand
cut by glass. Miss Nellie Barrett of
Carthage received long cash over the eye
and NJ. NJ. Holloway, a hotel porter had
his arm sprained. Ex-Postmaster Irwin,
Attorney Thomas Hackney, Joseph Bar
rett and j. w. Gound all escaped injury"

EX-SENATOR FAIR DEAD.
One of the Bonanza Gold Mining
Kings Passes Away at San
Francisco.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec. 29.-EX-Sena-
tor James G. Fair died suddenly at the
Lick house at 1920 this morning.
James G. Fair was fashioned in q
strong mould and was vigorous, large
man. He was afflicted with diabetes for
dozen years and then Bright's disease
developed. He stood the siege of these
ailments for a long period and though his
physicians saw he was getting weaker
some years ago, he kept attending to
business and carried himself sturdily.
Up to last week he was looking after the
affairs pertaining to his immense inter
estS without any outward indications
that he would release his hold for long
time. A few days ago he caught cold
while going out in a rain storm to view
some of his property improvements at
North Beach. The cold settled in his
kidneys. Last evening he was feeling
better than for the past few days and
his death was entirely unexpected. Sen
ator Fair was about ga years old. His
death was due to a complication of kid
ney and stomach troubles. His only son,
Charles G. Fair, whom he disinherited
about year ago, was with his father
Gt the time of his death, reconciliation
har;ng been effected sh?r5 time ago.
James Graham Fair of Virginia City,
New, was born December 3, 1881, near
Belfast, Ireland; he came to this coun-
try with his parents in 1913, and settled
in Illinois, where he attended the public
schools, completing his education IN Chi
cago, where he received a thorough bust
ness education, paying special attention
to scientific studies; on the breaking out
of the gold fever in 1S49 he moved to
California and engaged in mining until
1860, when he removed to Nevada.
In 1867 he formed a partnership with
John w. Mackay, ]. @. Flood and Will
lam s. O'Bren. The firm purchased the
control of the Bonanzas and various other
well-known <nines, the yield of gold and
silver from which, while under the super
intendency of Mr.. Fair, is estimated at
about $20O,OOO,OOO. He was elected to
the United States Senate as a Democrat,
to succeed William Sharon, Republican,
and took his seat March 4. 1881.
DIR. Livingston, who was the senator's
near friend as we'll as his physician, says
the ex-senator left no special message for
his family or other persons. AS to the
value of the estate, the doctor says that
two years ago when the ex-senator was
complaining of his physical suffering, he
remarked: Il would not pass another
such night for every cent of my $685.
100000 The doctor added that Fair
knew almost exactly what he was worth
at that time, and now the estate would
aggregate about S40.000,0O0 at moder-
ate estimate. 1t is believed that he left
very little, if anything at all, to charity.
The children are Mrs. Hermann Del
richs, Miss Birdie Fair and Charles l..
Fair, and it is thought he left them his
whole fortune, share and share alike.

fou1dland, the incident will hardly

to enter the Dominion. Had it joined
the Canadian confederation it would have
a better claim for support from its sister
communities than it can now advance"
The Telegraph says: Something must

cannot help thinking that the wisest
eventual course would be for the colony

Chicago, ILL.,, Dee. 2S.-Charles X.
Hardin, acquitted last October of the
charge of stealing $4,000 from the
Adams Express company, was again ar
rested today on a fugitive warrant. He
in Kansas City in which he claimed
his wife was concealed. Hardin de-
clares that his recent arrests are the
result of persecution by the Wells Fargo
Express company. He says after his ac-
quittal at Nashville the Adams Express
company filed suit against the Wells
Fargo people for the $50, 900 and that, as
he was the important witness, the latter
company desires to prevent him from tes-
tifying when the case is tried in New
York. His claims of persecution are
laughed at by the police.
