The Question Before the Senate as II
Looked to Hoar.
Hoar declined to yield, but Allen in
sisted on repeating that the danger to
General Rivera was an authenticated
fact. known to all men. Hoar asked the
Nebraska senator to possess his "beauti-
full soul in patience" He denied that
there was anything but report and
prophecy at the basis of this resolution.
Hoar rejected with Indignation any as
sertions that he was guided on these
great question of humanity by the in
terests or opinions of the ubusiness ele-
nents, as had been suggested. The sem
ator shared none of this animosity to So
calico business interests, for the pros-
perlty or this class meant hope and hap
plness to every workingman, while a
blow to that interest meant poverty and
despair to millions Of American homes.
The question now is whether the United
States would act on guess ard prophecy
In giving an affront to Spain.
Allen again took the floor, addressing
himself frequently to Hoar in person.
The danger to General Rivera was not
rumored, and so characterizing it the
massachusetts, senator showed his
weakness and puerility." The Ameri-
can people knew the facts. and the Mas
sachusetts senator knew them-that Ri

would end. The senator closed with

Somewhat Modified.
Washington, April 6.-The govern
ment forestry commission had a hear
ing before Secretary of the Interior
Bliss yesterday, at which the members
went over the whole forestry question
and explained their reasons for ad-
vocatinG all the reservations of timber
land made by President Cleyeland's
proclamation last February. Senator
Wilson, Of Washington, and Senator
Shoup. of Idaho, represented the west
ern opposition to the reservations The
meeting was behind closed doors. Chair
man Sargent reviewed the Investigation
OF the commission last summer. He was
emphatic in declaring that there was no
need OF modification of the proclama-
tlon. The commission was divided,
however, as to the ACCESSIBILITY of maxi
my any changes and several of the
members conceded that some changes
or exceptions might and should be
made.
A petition signed by citizens of New
MEXICO was submitted by Delegate Fer
guson. asking that the forestry reserva-
ton scheme be extended to that state.
while Senator Wilson, on the other
hand, protested vehemently against the
Wholesale reservations Committed" in
washington. The outcome of the con-
ference was a decision to forward to
congress in day or two a proposed
amendment to the sundry civil BILL
IhiS amendment will authorize the Sec
rotary to prescribe such rules and regu-
lations for the government of the forest
reserves as will permit the disposal of
timber in the reservations for legitimate
mining purposes and will preserve also
the rights of agricultural and mining
settlers on reservations. The amend
ment gives authority for the suspension
OF the operation Of the presidential
proclamation reserving forest reserva-
tons, and the survey of the reserved
tracts by the geological survey.
