Immediately. JOHN L. WILSON.
WASHINGTON. April 2.-Associsted
Press-All the members of the cabinet
were present at the meeting today. The
cabinet was in session a little over an hour
and a half. The only question of public
Importance discussed was the question OF
resembling the order of ex-President Cleve-
land, setting apart twenty-ohe forest reser-
vations In the West.
This question has engaged the attention
of Secretary Bliss for some time. The
secretary today took to the White House
the maps and papers relating to the mat
ter. The discussion OF the forestry ques-
ton was at times very vigorous. and all
the members took part. The outcome was
instructions that the national forestry
commission be summoned to Washington
TO talk over their work with the president.
1t is understood the sentiment was unanf-
nous that Cleveland's proclamation was
too comprehensive. and 1t was stated that
the object of the commission which inves-
tgated the subject. and on whose report
take in enough" territory 10 preclude the
possibility in future of a claim that any
land legitimately deserving or requiring
reservation had been omitted.
The cabinet held that the commissions
investigation was inadequate. The presi-
dent announced his purpose to act on con-
servative lines. and not to act without
more information.
Secretary Bliss led the discussion. and
submitted notes OF the conditions COM
piled by Western senator's who protested
against the order.
The amendment 10 legislation now pend
ing authorizing money for tho work was
reviewed. and IL was decided that no ac-
ton should be taken pending such a survey
OF the reserved country. The general opin-
ion was that the amendment would be
made a law early next week. and II was de-
termlned that surveying work should be
begun Immediately upon the amendment
becoming law. and the reports OF the
survey expedited 20 the end that any de-
feet should be promptly remedled.
AS at present determined. the forestry
proclamation Will not be revoked. but the
provisions viii be adjusted by presidential
orders as 20 specific tracts.
The Black Hills reservation in South Da-
kota in all probability will comprise part
OF the lands which viii be subjected 20
the first survey. When the work there IS
completed. the president Will exempt from
the provisions OF the proclamation such
lands as are Of farming or agricultural
character or where the settlers rights are
injured. Then the survey will be trans
fe-red 70 other tracts and the exemptions
proclaimed separately as the work pro-
crosses
The forestry commission IS expected 20
come % Washington some time next week

Kinlsy and the members o. the cabinet

GRAND ARMY IN THIS STATE.
Will Hold Their Annual Encampment
at Waterbury May and g.

Will Hold Their Annual Encampment
at Waterbury May and g.
The annual session .of the Grand
Army in this state will be held in Wa
terbury next week. the encampment
beginning next Friday, May l. 1t will
last two days. Commander-in-C Chief
Garrison of Nebraska will be given
reception at the Waterbury opera house
Friday evening, and the occasion will
be made one of the most brilliant
that has taken place Under the aus
pieces of the Grand Army in this state
The Hon. William E. Simonds of Hart
ford, judge advocate on the state de-
partment staff, will deliver the princi-
pal address of the evening, speaking on
the subject of Fraternity, Charity and
Loyalty" these being the fundamental
principles of the order. This address
will discus the principles of the Grand
Army in new and most effective man
ner.
The annual statement of the order in
Connecticut will be made by Depart
ment Commander Oscar w. Cornish Of
Waterbury. The total membership in
the state at the present time is 6$$S in
round numbers. There have been 276
deaths during the twelve months, the
death rate exceeding that of any other
year in the history of the department.
The death roll includes Past Depart
ment Commander Buckber of New Ha-
Ven, ex- Mayor Loren A. Gallup of Nor
wich, the Rev. DR.. D. Henry Miller Of
n, tLap Of To-
ford and General Ryder of Danbury.
The contest for the commandership
of the department promises to be an
interesting one. There are three candi-
dates in the field at the present time
The competitors are G. D. Bates of
Putnam, Thomas Boudren of Bridge
port and Henry r. Jones of New Hart
ford. Mr.. Bates is a man of promi-
nence in eastern Connecticut and has a
| decided clientage in Strand Army cir
cles. He has made a brilliant canvass
for the honors of the commandership
Mr.. Boudren is a favorite with Elias
Howe, jr, post in Bridgeport, and has
been in the field in past years. He is
thoroughly liked in his locality. Cap
tain Jones of New Hartford is giving
a triangular feature to the contest, and
has also been competitor in the past
for department honors. A great many
| Grand Army men have earnestly So
licited the Hon. William E. Simonds to
become a candidate for the position of
commander. In no way, however, has
Mr.. Simonds asked a man to vote for
him in the encampment, and will not
| do so. At the same time should the
election come to him he will accept it,
and will faithfully discharge the duties
| of the office.
There are three competitors for the
senior ce-commandership. These vet
| Grams are George R. Bevins of Derby,
! w. G. Hillard of Bristol and Edward
| Griswold of Guilford. Only one man
has yet come to the front for the junior
vice commandership. He is Mr.. Chas.
! Scranton of Derby.
