THE FOREST RESERVATIONS
Action Taken in the Matter by the
Cabinet.
CIeveland's Order Not to Be Re-
scinded. But Probably Consider.
ably Modified by the President.

The only question OF much importance
discussed at the Cabinet meeting yester-
day was the question OF resembling the
order of ex-President Cleveland setting
apart twenty-one forest reservations in the
West This question has engaged the at
tention of Secretary Bliss for some time,
and the Secretary today took to the White
House the maps and papers relating to the
matter.
The discussion of the forestry question
was at times very vigorous, and all the
members took part. The outcome was in
structions that the national forestry conl-
mission be summoned to Washington to
talk over their work with the President
1t is understood that the sentiment was
unanimous that President CIevelands S proc
lamation was too comprehensive, and it was
stated that the object or the commission
which Investigated the subject. and on
whose report the reservations were pro-
claimed was to take in enough territory
to preclude the possible future claim that
any land Iegitimately deserving or requir-
ing reservation had been omitted. The
Cabinet held that the commissions inyes-
tigation was inadequate, and the Presi-
dent announced his purpose TO act on con-
servative lines, and not to act without
more Information.
Secretary Bliss led the di discussion and sub
mitted notes Of the contentious of Western
Senators who protested against the order
The amendment TO legislation now pending
authorizing a survey OF the tracts thus set
apart and appropriating money for that
work wascarefull reviewed, aud IL was de-
cided that no action should be taken pend
ing such survey of the reserved country
The general opinion was that the amend
ment would be made aIaw earl Y next week,
and it was determined that the surveying
WORK should be begun Immediately upon the
amendments becoming law, and the reports
of the survey expedited to the end tina any
defects should be promptly remedicd
As at present determined the forestry
proclamation will not be revoked in toto,
bot its provisions adjusted by Presidential
orders as to specific tracts. The Black Hills
reservation in South Dakota, in all proba-
biIity will be part Of theIands which will be
subjected to the first survey When the
work there Is completed the President will
exempt from the provisions of the procla-
nation such lands as are of a mining or
agricultural character or where the settlers
rights are injured Then the survey will be
transferred to other tracts and the exemp-
tions proclaimed separately as the work
progresses The forestry commission is ex-
pected to come to Washington some time
next week to talk over the matter with the
President and members OF his Cabinet.

GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI.
The Personality of the Most Romantic
Hero of the Nineteenth Century.
BY ELLA FREEMAN.

Well might an English writer OF the
time call hii' ''the most romantic hero
OF our century, a living man whose
legend is already as firmly iInpla nted as
that of Wallace or William Tell, whilst
the severest historical critics or the fu-
ture will be unable to deny either the
reality Of his exploits or the originality
of his character" An American who
was in Italy at the height OF his career
and who visited him at Messina, wrote
home Men, women and children seem
to know him like an old acquaintance.
and salute him with their best smile.
They lie in wait for him, and seem to
think this establishes u claim on his ac-
ulaintanc and, above all, the children
watch for him, and never fail to stam-
mer the 'Eviva GaFbaldi,' Everyone
expects TO have look of recognition,
familiar smile. a slight nod or wave Of
the hand: il would tire out any one but
the mar from whom they are expected"
This hero and idol, this superb soldier
and worshiped leader, was quite diff
ferent being in person and attalnments
from the popular notions OF him that
are still prevalent. People think be-
cause ne was a man of action and loved
the people that he must have been igno-
rant, peasant-like and with popular free
and easy manners, not at all, he had
been professor of mathematics. When
NJ Leance Dupont met him he said he
spoke French betterthan anyone the French
man had met in Italy, and while there was
a winning gentleness about him, he was
peculiarly reserved and silent. Well, at

whose wild beard and red shirt made him
the very picture of a savage fighter. No
again: true, he for a time wore a red
shirt, though much OF his fighting was
done in other uniform, and he had beard,
but one trimmed as neatly as Parisian's;
but hear what NJ. Dupont says of his ap-
pearanCe at their meeting: The man is
small, delicate, nervous, but his small
gray eye flashes like poll lished steel; he has
a kind voice: he wears eyeglasses, owing
TO his short sight "
But this little, delicate. short-sighted
mathematician. who was a suffering in
valid long before he ceased to be a sol
dieT, was not only the greatest personal
hero of his century, he was poet as
well; his proclanations and public let
ters to his beloved Italians are full of
poetry, and here is a fragment from one
call to arms ar the darkest hour of the
Italian struggle for liberty, which shows
now sublime and profound that poetry
could be: In return for the love you
may show your country he wrote, u
offer you hunger and nakedness and
wounds and WEAKNESS and death; whose

SOME OLD.TIME FIGHTERS.

As the Greeks and the prize fighters
have been monopolizing public attention
lately, ii may not be amiss To recall some
facts concerning the attitude OF the great
ancestors of the former toward the noble
art OF self-defense. The ancient Greeks,
although they reached a high degree Of
civilization and culture, were not without
pugiiistic contests. which in some cases
became so brutal as TO make the spectii-
tors, whose feelings were Of a less coarse
nature, turn away with horror The
ancient monuments and sculptures throw
much light upon this subject, and, with
the surviving literature of their time,
nave enabled the modern reader TO gain
clear idea of the manner of conducting the
contests.
The old Greeks were devoted to wrest-
ling and boxing. and to what was known
as 'pancration,' a combination Of both
The favoritc contest was wrestling, and
the deep hold it took on Greek lifeis shown
by the great number of technical express
sions taken from wrestling, which in
metaphoricaI form found their way into
the ordinary, everyday language. Wrest-
ling, like other gymnastic exercises, W as
first carried on with drapery round the
loins, and afterward without any cloth
ing AS a preparation, the comhata1ts
rubbed their whole bodies with oil, with
view to making their limbs more supple
and elastic But as this oiling and the
perspiration res sulting from the contest
would have made the body too smooth
and slippery and absolutely impossible to
grasp, they covered themselves when the
Amounting was finished withfine edusttaken
from special pits or else prepared for the
purpose This was supposed also to serve
a hygienic purpose, for 1t was assumed
that the dust prevented excessive persplra-
ton and saved the strength, and by clos
ing the pores sheltered them from the air.
Boxing as a mode of fighting was not
actually necessary for the gymnastic
training Of every Greek, but it was rather
studied by those who desired to win
prizes in the public games, and to oh
tain honor and reward by their bodily
skill and strength. Boxing, like wrestling,
was subject to special rules, from which
we see that more stress was laid on az

SALE or THE C. 4 0. CANAL
Bill Filed at Hagerstown Praying
for Decree.
Complaint Made of the Methods of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company as TO Management.

Hagerstown, Nd, April "A bill was
filed yesterdayin the circuit courtfor Wash
ington county, sitting as court of equity.
for the sale OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, by Ellen S. Stubblefield, admins
traitor OF George S. Stubblefield. deceased.
Her solicitors were Messrs. Benjamin A.
Richmond, J. w. Thomas and w. G.. De-
vocamun Of Cumberland The bill Is

forty pages. George s.. Stubblefield, in
1868, recovered judgment against the
Canal Company for $32, 1883. 1t is 70
enforce this judgment that the bill is filed
The bill asks that a decree be passed
annulling so much or the decree passed In
the consolidated equity cases on October
2, 1890, as suspending the operation of the
decree OF sale, and also that the order OF
court in the cases passed on July 30, 1894,
by Judge Edward Stake, extending the
time of suspension of the original decree
OF sale for six years from May /, 1895,
may be reviewed, and that decree for
the sale of the canal and all its works be
passed to satisfy the liens thereon.
The bill alleges that the Baltimore aud
Ohio Railroad Company has been enabled
through cunningly devised chancery pro-
ceedings and the imposition upon the
court of equity to operate the waterway
as common carrier, as well as its rail-
way, and has thus been able indirectly u
do what under its charter it could not
legally do directly.
The bill further states that the recent
freshet has caused damage amounting to
bet ween 81 5,000and$100. 3, 900 10 the canal.
A history of the canal and the multiplicity
of litigation is gone over at length. The
bill charges that the conditions imposed By
Judge Alvey's decree have been violated.
The hill all eges that the Cbesa peake and

the trustees at the time they filed their
petition foT an extension of time for the
sale of the canal claimed they had en-

trotters who lecture before the assembled
travellers, and journalist to keep the
log of their jaunts.
One peculiarjty of the organization is
that il admits Of no exercises of mis-
cellaneops character. such as recitations,
declamations, or literary fireworks of
any kind. Such features are interesting,
OF course, but the travellers do not consider
them pertinent to the purpose for which
the club was formed.
The first journey was made In 1881,
and since that time the club has trav-
eied without car or carriage over every
spot of the worlds surface, from Green
lands icy mountain to Afric's coral strand.
Senior Romero told the story of Mexico,
its tropic Levels, its arctic heights, its
cities, peoples and customs, and the late
Gen John A. Logan gave description OF
modern military art in Egypt. George
Kennan, the Russian correspondent of the
New York Herald, took his hearers to
Russian festival, and Hon. A. r. Spof-
ford, Librarian of Congress, spoke OF the
literary salons OF France.
Other prominent men and women Of
Washington have appeared before the club
at various times, and the combined tales OF
all these travellers would make a story of
more thrilling interest than even Dick

LAWS FOR INEBRIATES.

The recent report of the committee OF
fifty appointed in this country to inquire
into tie legislative aspects OF the liquor
problem, and the fact that q commission
under Viscount Peel is now sitting in Eng
land for the purpose OF investigating the
same matter, testify to the general anx-
iety felt upon a subject so closely con-
nected with good government.
A London police magistrate, writing in
the North American Review, makesa a strong
plea in favor of curative methods as applied
to habitual druDkards, and points out the
utter inadequacy of present systems of
punishment III Australia legislation for
inebriates is far In advance of
the laws In force here or in England.
The Australian ''inebriate asylums act"
empowers the governor in council 10 direct
that any asylum. or any part OF any
asylum, or any other building named in
the order. shall be anas ylum forinebnates.
He may appoint as superintendent Of any
such a ylum person who must De medi-

son desirous Of being committed TO an asy-
lum for inebriates may make Application

of county courts, or 10 a police magis-
trate. or 10 any justice, who. after salts
flying himself that the applicant has ha-
btually used excessive quantities OF in
toxicating drinks, may order him to be de-
taines in an asylum for inebriates. there
to be held under curative treatment for
a period not exceeding three months
The most important part of the act pro-
yides that upon the application OF the hus-
band or wife or any relative or friend OF any
person addicted tolthe habitual useinexcess
of intoxicating drinks either OF the authOTi-
ties aboye-Damed may, upon proof OF the
reasonablencss OF the application, summon
the iDebriate to show cause why he should
not be committed to an asylum, and ifupon
the hearing IL is shown that. by reason Of
his abuse eofintoxicating drinks. the person
summoned is unable to control himself and
incapable of managing his affairs, oris dan
gerous to himself or others. or is suffering

or chronic alcoholism, or is inimminent dan

drinks: andif two medical practitioners GER
tify in writing that the person requires Cura-
tive treatmentin an asylum for inebriates,

1t seems to be generally agreed upon by
competent witnesses who have lately been
examin cd that it is hopeless TO attempt TIE
cure Of an habitual drunkard within less
period than twelve months. Hugh author
tiles. such as tile late Sir Andrew Clark and
Sir Richard Quain, have concurTed in this
view. II is pointed out that heightened Pc

DELEGATE CATRON's ILI.LUCK.
Efforts TO Have His Sons Placed in
Government schools Fail.

The Hon. Thomas B. Catroa. former Dele

Mexico. has worked manfully to get his
two sons into the Government schools, but
has failed. Last summer Mr.. Catron had
two vacancies, one at West Point and one
at Annapolis, and 20 make certain, as he
thought, to get at feast one boy in, he ap-
pointed each alternate for the other. Both
went up at Annapolis and failed, and one
afterwaTd failed at West Point.
AT the recent examination Mr.. Catron's
second boy failed. and the alternate, who
was designated in case both sons failed at
West Point and Annapolis, met the require
ments. A number OF years ago a Maryland
Congressman designated his two boys, one
to West Point and the other 20 Annapolis,
and was defeated for denomination by his
constituents
