FORESTS MUST BE PROTECTED
A Determined Movement Started by
 the State Board of Trade.

For some time past the manager of the State Board of Trade has been receiving communications from people in the coun- try relative to the destruction of the forests of the coast by fire. and yester- day at the meeting of the board action was taken.
 The seriousness of the subject was fully appreciated by the members of the board, who passed resolution declaring that the destruction of forests demands the immediate attention of every peace off, cer and citizen of the State The board will request the Board of Yosemite Commissioners, the Sierra Club, the For estry Commission, all of the prospective legislators and county officers to co-ope- rate in preventing this destruction. Re- quests will be made to the State officials and county officers to use their best eff forts to cause the arrest of any one even suspected of forest arson. Every legis- lative candidate will be asked to do all in his power, if elected, to provide for the proper policing of all of the forest lands of the State and for the punishment of any one found setting fires or causing fires by carelessness, while camping or prospecting.
 The members of the board will make it a personal matter to have laws passed for the preservation of Californias tim Der. Communications will be sent by the board to all of the counties where there

been for naught. Its good effects have been recently testified to by letters re- ceived by the president from the ofhcer5 of the various companies of soldiers who were the recipients of kindness and favor when they were most in need Of it. Among the prominent letters are two received from officers of the First Ten pessee Regiment, and one from Governor w A. Richards of Wyoming.
 Captain w. J. Whitthorn of Company B. First Tennessee Infantry, mentions that the ladies have not only been kind to the soldiers, but have given happiness to homes and comfort to the heart or many a mother in dear old Tennessee, and that nothing on earth can occur which will cause the members of his company to cease loving the, splendid women of California In conclusion he says: "We are ordered to Manila, and trust the opportunity may occur to prove ourselves in some degree worthy or the hospitality shown us here. The Califor- mia soldiers have been our friends, and we hope to make those in Manila-your sons and brothers-our friends and brothers also.'
 Governor Richards warmly compliments the kind attentions bestowed upon the members of the Battalion of Wy yontns Infantry, which he, while visiting Cali fornia last June, had the opportunity of observing.

THEY WANTED TOO MUCH.
Legal Obstruction Met by the Alp

praisers of the Sutro Estate.
 The accounts of Mrs. Emma Merritt, as guardian of the late Adolph Sutro, were settled yesterday by order of Judge Golf fey. One item necessary to effect set tlement of the account was found too high, that of the three appraisers, Thomas Magee, David Rich and Colonel Thomas Little. who asked $250 each in compensation for their services. Judge Golf fey refused to allow this charge on show pied in the appraisement. But $5 a day is allowed by the law and as the court failed to find a reason why 0 greater amount should be allowed Colonel Little and Magee waived their fees and the mat ter of the compensation of Rich was left open.
 The appraisers it is thought. will look to the heirs for compensation independent ot the order of the court.

Senator Frye's Blunder.

Senator Frye made serious mis-
take in interfering such a oontro-
versial question as the annexation of
Hawaii into his speech at the dinner
of the National Association of
Manufacturers OF the United States
at New York on Thursday evening
The gathering was made up Of men
Of all lines Of business and OF vary
ing political opinions, but who
Joined on this occasion and in this
association in an effort to do what
can be done for the purpose OF ex-
banding the trade Of the United
States in foreign countries. Trade
is one thing, annexation another,
though this is something which
Senator Frye did not seem to realize
or, rather, he seem to assume that,
because people invited him to speak
on the question to considering the
trade OF the United States, therefore
they must perforce accept all his
fads and hobbies concerning sub
sidized shipping and the annexation
Of outlying places-questions that
we're irrelevant and divergent from
the subject matter of the meeting.
Senator Frye INDUCED in the alb
solutely preposterous notion which
some of our annexationist contem-
poraries in Boston are continually
making, that, unless the United
States annexes Hawaii, the people
of that country inside of year will
vote to ask England to annex them.
This is direct denial Of the state
ment made by President Dole OF the
Hawaiian republic, who, on such
matters, presumably knows what
he is talking about; that authority
having said that, if the United
States does not choose to annex Ha-
wall, the republic will go on in
much the same way in the future
that it has in the past. But much
more potent influence than Presi
dent Dole's opinions is found in the
absolute necessity OF Hawaii con-
tinuing her trade connection with
the United States. III she became
an English colony she would by
that act become financially bank
rupt. Her entire industrial success
depends upon selling sugar duty
free in the United States. Take
that away and Hawaii's financial
condition is absolutely hopeless.
To suppose that the Hawaiian peo-
pie would thus sacrifice themselves
is equivalent to assuming that
hundred thousand persons who are
now drawing pensions from the
United States treasury would go to
the trouble of petitioning and be-
coming British subjects for the pur-
pose OF putting an end to the receipt
OF this gratuity. The international
conditions are in this stage of the
worlds progress very largely trade
conditions, and the Hawaiians have
got too good thing, and know that
they have it, to needlessly throw it
away. Indeed, their whole aim at
annexation is simply an effort to

Popular Sovereignty.

The proposition that the questi n
OF whether to annex to the United
States or not be submitted to the
people Of the Hawaiian Islands for
their vote is fair and American-like
