diana bituminous, where the pricelshall be
four-fifths of the price of pick mining;
for other mining sections correspond
ing increase in price, that will place them
on relative basis. Itwas further agreed

mine when it would be the most oppor-
tune time to put this scale into effect.
"In industrial Improvement which is

and if We do not attempt to share it we

SHIPS AND DUTIES.

The shipbulders Of Great Britain

If the rate Of growth of British mcr-
chant ships shall be, during the next
ten years, equal to that of the last

PROTEST AGAINST RESERVES
Secretary Bliss Gives Il Hearing to the
Northwestern cprcsntatiycs.

Secretary Bliss Gives Hearing to the
northwestern Representatives.
Washington, March 31.-Sccretary
Bliss gave a hearing today to a large
congressional delegation who desired
to protest against the forestry rescr-
vation order issued by President
Cleveland: Feb. %, last, setting
aside large tracts in various states.
Those present included Wilson and
Turner, Wash: Carter and Mantle,
Mont; Cannon, Utah.; Pettigrew,
S. D.; Representative Mondcll, Wyo.;
Ex-senator Moody, S. D. Land Com
missioner Hermann and Director
Wolcott, of the geological survey, al
so were present. The general pro-
position urged was that the procla-
nation will be either revoked in toto
or operations suspended until inyes-
tigation could be made as to the
character Of lands embraced in the
reserved tracts. ....
1t was claimed that the act Of
President Cleveland was in direct
violation Of section p Of the act Of
March 3, 1891, to repeal the timber
culture laws, and of the general land
Office regulations, both requiring be
fore any land is set aside as forest
reservations by proclamation, that
due and satisfactory*netioe be given
oy posted notices in the vicinity and
publication in the newspapers.
Pcttigrew denounced the order as
contrary to the law and called for
the entire revocation OF it, but stated
he had no objection to another pro-
clamation being issued later to,mcet
necessary requirements and respect
ing the rights and interests Of the
people.
Wilson characterized the order as
a "ghastly mistake" and called par
ticular attention to the Washington
reserve, which comprises three mill
lion acres. He said that almost nine
million acres had been reserved in
his state in violation Of all rights and
without notice to anyone. In one
county alone, embraced within the
order, there were $500 mineral loca-
tions, on which work aggregating
So, 100000 in value had been done.
The proclamation, he said, took
away all rights, thus virtually contis-
eating all such property. So far as
Washington state is concerned the
reservation is not needed, as there is
a perpetual water supply in the
rivers through the great glaciers
and an annual rainfall averaging 100
inches: He said he was not opposed
to proper and legal reserves, but they
should not be created in disregard to
all other interests.
Senator Carter advocated the sus-
pension Of the order pending an in
ycstigation OF the class Of lands thus
brought in.
