Forest Reserves AbrOgated.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The SEN
ate amendment suspending President
Cleveland's forest reserve proclama-
tions is short but absolute. All lands
embraced in the newly created reserves
are to be restored to the public domain,
the same as though the Cleveland pro-
CARNATIONS had never been issued.
The state is also given the right to
select other lands in lien of those to
which it would have been entitled on
its school, university or other grants,
but which have been included in the
old forest reserve. The provision for
$l5O,OOO to survey the reserves is re-
tained.-P.-I.

Special TO the Journal
The Presidents message did not go
to Congress Wednesday. 1t was pre-
pared and ready, but message from
Gen. Lee, at Havana, advised the pres
ident that $500 Americans were being
loaded at that place for this country,
and could not all get off before Sun
day. He feaIed an outbreak II the
message was delivered. President Nc
Kinley sent for Cushman *. Davis,
chairman of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, and the ranting members OF
Congress of both parties, and submit
ted the matter tirely to them: and
with the concurrence Of Congress 1t
was concluded TO defer making the
message public until Monday, in order
to assure the safety Of Gen. Lee and
his associates.
From Madrid come dispatches indi-
eating that the Queen Regent will re-
open the Cuban case and grant the de-
mands OF the United States, heretofore
refused. This strengthens the hope
that Cuba will be granted her liberty
without further bloodshed.
Meantime, Gen. Woodford is send
ing his family from Madrid, and Gen.
Lee will come home at once. The
Spanish Minister left New York for
Spain yesterday, and preparations for
war grow more active as time passes.
There is general satisfaction express
sed over the presidents handling OF
this crisis in the nations history.

early IN the month, with the prospect
that the acreage to be put in will be

Thus 1t seems that, with the agricul-
tural prosperity in the eastern part of
the state, and the Klondike business
IN the Sound cities, with activity in
the single and lumber industry.
Washington will this year be one of
the most thriving states in the union.
That commonwealth has for several
years suffered from depression, and

mate and marvellous resources has sus-
tanned It's population under the gravity

readers will be increased. Every at
tempt at fusion increase enmity be-
tween the two prominent parties,
while the silver republicans $50 called

thing to gain, if anything is gained by
fusion, secure the BELTS Of the disagree
ments.
1t has been so in the past end will
be so to the end of the chapter so far
as the nominations are concerned.
The election Of the fusion nominees
in this state is thing of the past,
even if fusion is secured to make nom
inatins. which is doubtful. The Pop
ulists are gettsng tired of pulling the
chestnuts of the other two wings from
the fire-and getting nothing but the
shells.-Ledger-

Alleged Financial Humor.

Inspeaking of the annual cut OF
lumber of the Uuited> States, the presi-
dent of the National Lumber Dealers
Association stated that it exceeds in
value all the gold, silver coal, iron and
wheat" The New York Sun supple
menting the remarks says:
Here is another crime of the mon
ey power Why don't we have wood
money as the currency of 'the produc-
ing classes?' Surely wood money
would be easier to get and more con-
venient for use. The big forests now
in the possession of plutocrats, could
be confscated by the government,
coined and distributed pro rata among
the enemies of the money power. OF
course free and unlimited coinage
would be adopted, and wooden leg or
populist head would have to be ac-
copied at the minis. Government
wood yards could be established In ev-
cry county seat, and currency distrib-
uted thence in cords to rejoicing
people. Everybody would have money
to burn, except the gentlemen engaged
in the plutocratic and octopodic line.
They would have to saw the wood,
thereby contributing their mite to-
ward making the currency cheaper.
May it not be hoped, and with reason
that when the country is on wood
basis for five or ten years, gold, now
the money of tyrants, will be but a
toy and foppery, condemned TO be the
buttons on the painted waistcoats of
James Hamilton Lewis or the chain
on Jerry Simpsons bicycle?"

"The price of *A* 6x2 shingles,
which at the beginning Of the year
was $3.50 per thousand" said Mr..
Beckman, has now advanced to 1.50,
with indications of Il steady hold at
this price, or higher. These shingle s
are the ones almost exclusively used
IN the Western states, and therefore
the best indicators Of advances or fall
ling in the market.
"The record for the United States IN
the number OF shingles turned out
was held last year by The Stimson Mill
Company at Ballard. They turned
ont 1928, GEO shingles, and will do
even better than that in 1898.
"The Port Blakeley Mill Company
held the lumber record, shipped 81
TT 900 feet.
"The bulk of lumber sent to foreign
ports was taken by Hawaii, but nearly
every country received shipments. A
considerable business with Russia was
carried on last year in furnishing ties
for the great Trans-Siberan railway.
A permanent lumber trade with ORR
entail countries however, can not be
expected in the near future. AL
though the timber of the tropics is as a
rule, hard wood, unsuitable for build
ing purposes; yet the almost exclusive
use OF bamboo in China and Japan, to-
gether with the recognized adverse
ness of China to foreign innovations
indicates the probable lapse of many
years before an active lumber market
can be developed in those countries.
GA very high protective tariff on
importations of timber precludes the
possibility of Canadian competition in
our home markets."

The Increasing Lumber Trade.

"All the lumber mills are now run
ming on full time, and all indications
t. decided increase over last years out
put" said Victor H. Beckman, editor
OF the Pacific Lumber Trade Journal
OF S aturday, to Post-Intelligencer re-
porter.
Daring the months os January and
February" continued Mr.. Beckman,
"the EASTERN shipments of lumber
amounted to 1858 car loads, against
1877 carload, for the same time,nriS97.
Shingles numbered 1856 carloads, to
1855 carloads for 1897.
"This shows an increase OF 30 per
cent. in the lumber trade, and an APP
parent decrease in the shipment of
shingles. The latter was due to the
agreement among lumbermen to close
down on shingle operations on account
OF the light demand during winter
months.
"The sudden activity in Alaskan
commerce, although it has created q
demand for lumber,-10,0 100000 hay
ing already been sent north-has on
the whole temporarily hurt the cargo
business. Many vessels which hereto
fore carried lumber from the Sound to
San Francisco and other ports, are
now being used in the Alaskan trade
The unprecedented expectations oil
wheat to Europe during the past year
have also drawn off many vessels, thus
increasing freight rates and Temporal
rili retarding the handling of lumber
alt will be remembered that in 1897
the shipments of lumber from Wash
| ingtOn to the Eastern markets were
PSI car loads in excess of those fol-
1896, and more shingles were sent by
us to Eastern states than were cut in
the four big lumber producing states
Of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Iowa

/ Beckman will convey some idea Of the
