RAIN AND TREES
An Official Who Views
the Forests Practically.
Says Economic Policy VIII Prevail.
Land May be More Valuable Gull
tivated-Coming of Furnow.

The promised visit to the Islands Of
Mr.. Furnow the chief of the United
States Bureau of Forestry, is beginning
to attract the attention of business
men and citizens generally. Interest
was at first confined to those immedi-
ately concerned in lands and planta-
tons Now others are beginning to
pay some attention to the matter and
to appreciate that inspection of Ha-
waiian forests by an expert of expert
ence means somthing TO everyone in
the country, to the business house and
enterprise Mr. Furnow's letter to Dr.
Maxwell was so clear and temperate
that it made a decided impression.
A prominent Government official
speaking yesterday of Mr.. Furnow and
his mission to Hawaii said:
1T is a matter of congratulation that
so eminent an authority is to come
here, make observations and submit
suggestions.
at is not difficult to conclude from
the tone of Mr.. Furnow's letter that he
is far from being a radical or a head
long reformer. He intimates just what
some of the leading men of this coun-
try have thought for long time, but
have not cared to advance as public
utterance This idea is that while for
est is natural, is pleasuraDle to view
and perhaps has uses outside timber
utility, there is ground for argument
when it comes to taking the stand OF
inaugurating the policy that forest as
it now exists in Hawaii must remain
willy nilly and be increased. No sci
rule of this sort can be maintained
There must first be inquiry. The in
quiry must be in the direction of secur-
ing exact facts The facts being learn
ed, they must be acted upon nationally.
81 am one who will intimate tina,
there may be cases involving many
hundreds and perhaps thousands OF
acres of land where it would be better
by far for the country to remove the
timber and plant cane in its place
This is an economic view. 1t is bust
ness, pure and simple and the CONNER
cial axiOms will be applied and adopted
in the long run.
For another thing, Mr. Furnow init
mates that there have been instances
where it was clearly shown that re-
moval of forest had no effect one way
or the other on the rainfall. The aver
age layman will declaim that for ev-
cry tree cut down, the rainfall is re-
duced. 1t is proven that this is not
hard and fast correct Many eXcep-
lions are known and of record The
why's and wherefores of rain are some
what of a mystery yet However, Mr..
Furnow will enilghten us on all these
matters and after he reports we shall
know just what to do"

THE DISTRICT OFFICES
Not So Many Callers at the White House
Today in Behalf of Candidates.
A Delegation Appears in Behalf OF
jerome B. Burke for COM
missioner.

There were not so many visiting District
people at the White House today, probably
due to the fact that it is anticipated that
the President does not care for any more
advice or suggestions as to appointments
1t is stated today that the President will
socn be flooded with petitions in favor
of the appointment of NJ. NJ Holland
as recorder of deeds of the District. The
republicans of the District have concluded,
1t is said, to make a pull for this place, be-
lieving that 1t should go to a District man.
Holland, it Is said, will not be opposed for
this place by any District republican.
President ]. E. Rankin Of Howard Uni
versity has written a letter to President
Mckinley stating that the reappointment
of Commissioner Ross would be a guaran-
tee that the same ability, dignity and in
tegrity would continue to characterize the
office. He is native OF the District, and
citizen whom the other citizens are glad
to see honored."
j. l.. Thorn, a colored republican of
Maryland. has written a letter to Secretary
Porter calling attention to the large num-
Der OF delegations of coiored men from the
District visiting the White House in the
interest of different candidates for District
offices. He deplores these latter day
Methods and thinks they are refiec-
ton on the Presidents wisdom to deal with
THESE matters III HIS own way. morn s
epistle further charges that several of the
leading members of recent delegations ara
ex-convicts, and that the majority of all of
them were opposed to Mckinley last year
The friends of James L. Norris say that
his visit to the White House Saturday was
not in the interest of Mr.. John W. Ross as
was reported Saturday; Mr. Norris, 1t is
said, favors another candidate for the COM
missionership. lE
A delegation of the Veterans Patriotic
League called on the President to present
the resolutions recently adopted by the

Francis Caxanas, an American Citf-
zen, Now Set Free.
Another American citizen who has been
held under arrest in Cuba has been re-
leased. He is Francis Cazanas, who was
arrested at Sagua February 13. The arrest
was denounced by Consul General Lee at
the time as a great outrage, whereupon
the State Department began at once to
move in behalf of the man, with the result
that he was set at liberty yesterday Ca
Zanas resided on a plantatio in Santa
Clara province until last May, when he
took up his abode in Sagua. He owns prop
erty in New York. His case was one of
the number reported to the last session of
Congress in response to resolutions, and
from the correspondence it appeared that
Cazanas was registered at the American
consulate general at Havana in October,
1872, as an American citizen.
The number Of Americans now under ar
rest in Cuba awaiting trial is now reduced
to eight or ten, and these include the Com
petitor prisoners The Spanish minister
held a conference by appointment today
with Secretary Sherman, 1t Is understood,
with special reference to the cases of these
citizens, and Secretary Sherman believes
that within few days all of the remaining
prisoners will be released.
