RESERVE FOREST LANDS.
Extracts from Letter Of the Gov
eminent Forestry Commission.
Suggestions Made for Protection and
Regulation of Uncle Sans Valu-
able Timbered Reservations
Legislation Needed

The substance of the detailed and
voluminous report submitted by the
government forestry commission, the
body designated by the National acad-
envy of science, is embraced in a letter
which has just been submitted by the
commission to the secretary of the in
terror in advance of the formal report
to be made early in May. Following are
important extracts:
THE legislation relating to reserved
forest lands of the public domain, which
the commission of the National acad-
envy will recommend in its final report,
now in course of preparation. provides
for the following:
First, that authority be given to
the secretary of war to make details
of troops at the request of the secretary
of the interior to protect temporarily
and until a forest service is organized
the property of the government in the
forest reservations from fire and tres
pass and to enforce such rules and reg
ulations as he may make for their care.
Second, the establishment of a per-
manent forest bureau in the department
of the interior, composed of trained Off
GERS, to administer, maintain and i'm
prove the reserved forest lands. Third,
the appointment of a commission to
institute as rapidly as possible under
the supervision of the director of the
geological survey Typographical sur
veys of the reservations and determine
what portions of them should be per-
manentIy reserved on account of their
forest covering and what portions
should be reopened to entry and sale.
Fourth, to authorize the secretary of
the interior to issue the necessary rules
and regulations for the protection,
growth and improvement of the forests
on the reservations, etc"
The commission will recommend
that the reservations be opened to the
location of mining claims under the
general mineral laws. 1t will also rec
ommend that the owners Of upper
fected. bona fide claims or patents of
land included in the great reservations
be permitted to relinquish their. claims
to the government, selecting in lieu
tracts of vacant land open to settlement,
but not exceeding in area the tracts
covered by their claims or patents;
and that the owners of such imperfect
ed claims shall not be subjected to adj
ditional charges for entries or record,
and that credit shall be allowed them
for the time spent on the relinquished
claims.

DIR. HARPER'S NEW OFFICE.
Chicago University's President n Sum
day school superintendent.

Chicago UniVersity's President n Sum
day school superintendent.
President Harper, of the University of
Chicago, is now n Sunday school super
intendent. Deacons of the Hyde Park
Baptist church, Fifty-siXth street and
Woodlawn avenue, prevailed upon him
to accept the post and the vote was
unanimous for the famous educator at
the annual meeting of the officials of
the church.
About a month ago the church Off
Gals got wind of a pet project of the
doctors which was to he Carried out
as soon as circumstances would per-
NIT. A model Sunday school was to be
established on the university campus,
one which was to Outshine every other
school of the sort in the city. The Hyde
Park Baptists feared, it is said, that if
this scheme were to be put into effect
their own school would be harmed to no
little extent, as its location is but two
blocks from the campus. week ago
the pastor, Rev. J. /. Jackson; H. w.
Mahan, superintendent of the Sunday
ant superintendent, met and decided
that the only method of avoiding such
a possibility would be to bring DR..
Harper into the school.
The president agreed to the proposal
on condition, it is believed, that he
could manage the Sunday school accord
ing to his own ideas. The members of
the congregation are elated over the
news. and say they will cooperate in
any plan which is likely to make their
Sunday school model one. DR.. Har-
per has held a trusteeship, but aside
from this has performed the duties of
no other prominent office in connec-
ton with the workings of the church.

NEW STORAGE BATTERY.
Is Much Lighter and Cheaper Than
Those Now in Use.

Felix S. Riyely, an electrical and
mechanical engineer of Pittsburgh, Pa,
has just made public an invention
which he recently completed, which
promises to revolutionize the methods
now in use for street car and motto
cycle locomotion. Mr.. Rively's inven-
ton is an electric storage battery, which
will far surpass anything which is
now in use. a severe test was made
in Philadelphia last week which was
perfectly satisfactory in every respect
and demonstrated the advantages of
the invention.
The battery has several advantages
over the ordinary storage battery,
most prominent among which is the
fact that it needs charging only every
90 hours, whereas the ordinary battery
must be charged every six hours. An
other important feature is the fact that
Mr.. Riveley's invention weighs but $50
pounds, while the lightest now on the
market weighs $50 pounds. The latter
costs $1,000, while the one that has
just been patented can be sold for $3.50.
A company has been formed in Phila-
delphia with a capital stock of $5,OOO,-
900 and an immense plant will be erect
ed at once to make the batteries. The
new Monopgahela Street Railway COM
pany, which was recently chartered to
run between Brownsville and Believer
non, and of which Mr.. Riveley is pres
ident, has adopted tho batteries, and
will be the first line in the country
to use them.

Tests with the Eophone.

The United States government has
just concluded a series of very success
full tests of the eophone upon the battle
ship Indiana. The instrument consists
principally of a plate, usually of metal,
varying lin size. This serves as a dia-
phragm to 4 resonance chamber. Con-
nected with this chamber are tubes
leading to any desired part of the yes
sci. These tubes are sound conductors.
The eophone is placed on top of the pilot
house of a ship, and by means of it
sounds from another vesselNso distant
that the report of cannon on board
could not be distinguished by the ear
are easily heard. The purpose of the
invention is to give warning in dark
ness or fog of the proximity of another
vessel or of dangerous shore, also for

COSTLY SHIPMENT OF CATTLE.

First Load Leaves Galveston for

The first shipment of live cattle to
Liverpool in % years from Galveston

steamship Cuban. The shipment con-
sisted OF 37S head received from And
more, Ind. r., where they were fattened.
Quite a number of cattlemen from
all parts of the state came to witness
the shipment and they expressed salts
faction at the way the cattle were
handled and provisions made for their
keep on the passage. 1t is, however,
doubtful if this initial shipment will
be followed by others unless port
charges are reduced. The same num-
Der of cattle could have been shipped
from New Orleans at $1,7OO less than it
cost to ship them from Texas. One
item Of expense was 5000 for water,
which in New Orleans would have been
free.
Besides the cattle the Cuban took
large quantity of spelter and cotton.

THE STEAMER THREE FRIENDS.
The Marshal VIII Take Charge of
the Alleged Filibuster.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 19.-The man
date OF the United States Supreme Court
against the steamer Three Friends, which
was appealed from the decision of Judge
Locke, of the United States district court
for the southern district OF Florida, was
received Thursday, and was this morning
presented to the court by Special Assistant
Attorney Cromwell Gibbons. The supreme
Court reversed Judge Locke, and ordered
the vessel to be taken in charge by the
United States marshal.
In presenting the mandate, Judge Glib
bons moved for an order of the courtover
ruling the exceptions TO the libel in con-
formity to the opiniono of the Supreme Court
and directing the marshal to take pos
session of the vessel pending the final
hearing of the case on the answer to the
libel.
The court granted the motion, and an
order will be signed as soon as drawn
up by the attorneys 10 conform with the
views of the court
The Three Friends is now on her way to
this port with the Mexican tug A sturias In
tow, and S expected TO arrive here totBor-
row. AS soon ~ she arrives the bond she
is now under will be cancelled in obedience
to the order or the Supreme Court, and the
boat will be taken in custody by the United
States marshal and held subject to the fur
theT order of the court.
In the Danntless cases, Judge Gibbons,
on behalf of the Government, moved for a
similar order to that In the Three Friends
case. but the order has not yet b cen granted
1t is probable thatthesame ruling, however,
will be made In both cases
The libel against the Three Friends, for
which she is now TO be taken in custody,
is based upon-the trip of the vessel from
this port on May %, 1895.
The Three Friends was at Miami this
noon. The cutter Winona was there in
charge, and will escort her to Jackson
VILE as the Government seems very sus-
picous of the tug.
