Pennsylvania is likely to establish soon
three forestry reserves of 10000 acres
each at the headwaters of the Delaware,
Susquehanna and Ohio. Whole counties
have been stripped by lumbermen and the
state is in urgent need of this legislation.
This is in line with the progress of
national sentiment on the subject of for
estry, and in this connection it may be
said that the House of Representatives,
is entitled to commentator for it's refus-
al to concur with the Senate in repeating
President Cleveland's forest reservation
order

bill providing for the appointment of
veterans of the war to clerkships without
regard to civil service rules. 1t is not
likely that the bill will receive serious
consideration, as preference is already
given to veterans though they are Justly

The Liberal wave has swept through
the Province of Quebec as it did in the
Dominion election of June 1896. The
issue of the fight was originally the school
question, upon which Mon. del Val
came to arbitrate This being settled by
general acceptance on the part of the cleo
tors, it became necessary for the Conser-
vatives to raise another cry and they de-
cided upon an attack upon the late Pre-,
mier MERCER. This was resented by the
French, and they have made such a clean
sweep Of the province that it is quite
within reason to say that with by-elec.
tons the Liberals will have a majority
of IS in the next house.

LONDON, March 2.-The Earl of KIM
berly the Liberal leader. called attention

II would have been wiser and safer to
join crete to Greece, and held that under
any circumstances the Turkish troops

multaneously with those OF Greece.
The premier. Lord Salisbury. replying
for the government. said that he SYM

10 see an end put TO their oppression; but
il was the duty Of the government TO
maintain the existing condition until they
saw the way TO a safe and peaceful issue.
Il can assure the house" he said that
We are resolved upon an effective auton-
omy for Crete whereby is meant the
withdrawal of the arbitrary power OF
Turkey"
The house OF commons was crowded to-
day when the Liberal leader. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, moved that they ad-
Journ In order TO call attention TO the Gre
tan situation. He warned the government

not its own master and asserted IL might
be forced 10 deeds against which the con-
science OF the English nation might re-
volt.
Mr.. Curzon in reply assured the house
that the government which would be es-
tablished in Crete would displace the Turk
ism government.
