AGREEMENT ON suNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Forest Reservation Order Modified-Pearl
Harbor Appropriation Reduced.

Washington, May 24-The conferees on
the sundry civil appropriation bill have
agreed. The most important amendment
to the bill was that revoking the order
of President Cleveland of February %,
1897, setting apart 81 200, 900 acres of
lands as forest reservations. The Senate
amendment has been modified by provid-
ing that the President may modify or
revoke the proclamation and it is provid-
ed that the lands embraced in the reserva-
lions, not disposed of before March /, 1898,
shall be subject to operations of the order
of February %, or as they may be modi-
fed by the President. The general provis-
ions for the government of the forest re-
servations are retained as provided in the
Senate amendments. A provision is in
serted allowing settlers in reservations to
take other lands in the public domain.
The appropriation for Pearl harbor
Hawaii, is reduced to $40, 900.
The appropriation for a gov eminent ex-
hibit at the Omaha exposition is left at
$500, 600, the SIS, 900 increase of the Senate
being stricken out. The amendment for
investigation of sugar production remains
in the bill. The appropriation for the
improvement of the lower Mississippi riv-
er is increased to &, 933, 1873 and Is made
Immediately available, by contract or
otherwise in the discretion of the Secre-
tary of War. The net reduction from the
Senate amendment is $780, 900. The total
of the bill as agreed to is $50, 622, 651.

Decision Regard ONCE holders.

Washington, May 24.-In the United
States supreme court today Justice Peck
ham handed down the opinion of the
court in the case of l.. E. Parsons, late
district attorney of Alabama, appealed
from the court of claims.
The decision was a verse to Parse ns' S
claim that he was entitled under section
$3.50 of the revised statutes to hold office
for the four years notwithstanding the
Presidents order of removal. Justice
Peckham said that while the appointment
was for four years it might be terminal
ed earlier at the discretion of the Presi :
dent. The Judgment of the court of
claims was affirmed.
The determination of this case has been
looked forward to with interest because
of its possible effect upon the removal of
Office holders incident to the change of
administration Parsons has fought the
case through the various federal courts
losing in the lower courts as he did to-
day in the supreme court. He was, how
ever, not in possession of the office dur
ing the contest. On the day he was re-
moved. Emmett O'Neil was appointed to
succeed him and to him Parsons surren-
dered the office after an order was issued
to him by the court to do. He prosecuted
the Sase on another basis from that time.

Operating Blind Pools.

New York, May 24.-The Journal and
Advertiser tomorrow will say: c. T.
Smith & Co., operators of discretionary
pools, this city, retired from business.
Their mode of operation was similar to
that pursued by the e. S. Dean Com
pany. Circulars were sent to the country
districts advertising the formation Of
'sBlind POOLS to operate in wheat, stocks
and cotton. f. A. Phillips, Jr., mem
Der of the consolidated exchange who re-
Gently failed was at one time connected
with the G. T. Smith & Co. After his
failure charges were preferred against
him for violating the rules of the ex-
change in being associated with Il
discretionary pool concern. These charges
are still pending.

Cuban Appropriation Eli Signed.

Washington, May 24.-The resolution
appropriating s50,0o0 for the relief of
distressed American citizens in Cuba,
reached the White House at 1870 pm. to-
day, just as soon as it could be sent up
after being signed by both houses, while
they were in open session. The Presi-
dent signed the resolution Immediately
and will proceed at once to consult with
the officers of the State Department re-
specting the adoption of measures of re-
lief in addition to those taken last week,
when Consul General Lee was authorized
to draw upon the State Department for
$4,000 for the procurement Of immediate
supplies. The State Department officials
are of the opinion that it will not suffice
to send money to Cuba, but believe that
in view of the high prices prevailing on
the island it will be best to procure at
least portion of the stores in this coun-
try and send them by freight steamers

ing lenient The matter, however, is

Mr.. King remarked with fervor that he
could only think the boy must have been
temporarily insane. The more he thinks
of it the more he believes this must be
the fact. He and his wife recall converse
ton and actions of the boy just prior to
his disappearance, that would indicate
disturbed state of mind. Knowing the
boy SO well, the father was surprised to
know that he remained away from home
SO long without writing to him.
Mr.. King also remarked that many of
the stories in the newspapers were false,
but for the most part the statements put
before the public since the arrest had been
true and he is pleased with the uniform
courtesy of the press.

Some months ago Mr.. Brice applied for

the experts follows the tests in every de-

these experiments which have been ex-

Senator Aldrieh Explains.

Washington, May 24.-Immediately after
the adjournment of the Senate today, the
Republican senators went into caucus.
Chairman Allison stated that the caucus
was called upon the request of several
senators and some of those who signed
the call stated that they wanted to know
something about the plan of procedure
for the consideration of the tariff bill.
Senator Aldrich, who reported the bill,
took the floor. but had not proceeded far
when some one asked him for an ex-
PLANTATION of the sugar schedule.
Mr.. Aldrich went into quite an elaborate
explanation of the schedule, presentin G
the figures in the present law, the Ding
ley and the Senate amendments. He said
that the Senate amendment was less adj
vantageous to the sugar refneries than
the Dingley bill or the present law.
