CURRENCY BILL STATUS.
The Real Reason Why the Measure
Was Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The real
reason for the withdrawal Of the cur
rency reform bill at the request of the
representatives of the Business Men S
Sound Money league, was the contin-
uous wrangling in the committee ON
banking and currency since the pres
.ent session began, over the manner in
evhich currency reform should be ac-
, complished. and the apparent indiffer-
ence of the great number Of Repub-
lican members of the house, taken in
connection with the fact that ma
jority of the present senatesis- adverse
to such financial legislation.
1t will now be the purpose of the
league to exert all the influence it
commands in the coming campaign
with view to. securing majority in
both houses that will take up the
question Of currency reform, deter
mined to settle it in a practical and
proper manner. The business men are
we'll organized for such an effort and
are hopeful of success. They are not
disposed to- Interfere with party poll
tics, but will give their support only
to men who are pledged to consider
the interests of the country and who
recognize the necessity of a general
revision CT the currency law.

DEATH FOR SPIES.

No FavOritism for Foreigners in
France-Uninviting to Tourists.
PARIS, June 25.-While the chamber
seems unable to lay aside it's factional
differences, even though a new cabinet
has been selected, there is one point
on which both chamber and senate
are almost unanimously agreed, name
ly On the sO-called Morellet espionage
bill, which provides death for whoever
delivers or attempts to deliver to
another state, objects, plans or writ
1ngs that concern the defense of the
French soil. the territories and possess
sions of France, or the safety of the
state"
Until now capital punishment has not,
been provided for offenses of this-kind,
and that is why ex-Capt Dreyfus was
condemned to Imprisonment for life
on the Island Of the Devil, instead of
being sentenced to be shot. There are
only very few members either in the
senate or in the chamber who have the
courage to oppose capital punishment
for this crime. on the ground that, ow-
ing to the prejudice against people who
are even merely suspected Of espion-
age, they are less likely to have fair
trial than any other class of offenSe
and that capital punishment prevents
the repair Of any errors on the part of
the judges, such as, for instance, the
terrible mistake which is believed to
have been made in the case Of Drey-
fus.
The mea sure which is certain to
pass, is, fortunately, not retroactive,
and will therefore not affect Dreyfus
1t is of considerable Importance, how
ever to foreigners, since it places them,
as far as espionage is concerned, Ga
the same footing as the French, where
verely punished. The reason of this
favoritism shown until now to foreign
spies is attributable to the policy of
the Bourbon kings and to Napoleon
Ill, whose chief aim was to draw for
eigners to Paris, on the ground that
they brought wealth into the country.
The monarchs likewise took that
ground that foreigner suspected of
being a spy is at much greater disad-
vantage here than a. native, and is
much less likely to get a fair trial.
Even the late Lord Lyons, for so
many years Ambassador here, was ac-
tually imprisoned as q spy in Touraine
during the war of 1870, and kept locked
up for forty-eight hours, solely because,
while walking along the moat of the
chateau of Azyle- -Rideau, he had
thrown in a stone, in order to judge
Of the depth Of the water. The soldiers
and attendants on duty decided, on
this account, that he must be a spy,
and he narrowly escaped being lynched
in consequence.
When it is borne in mind that even
the mere possession of camera or a
kodak in the vicinity of Notifications
is held to constitute a prima facie case
against foreigner for spying, it will
readily be seen how nearly this new
espionage law will affect foreign Wis
itors. 1t is not precisely Of the kind to
attract them to France

Old Rumor Once More Revived Mt
Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-There was
an unofficial report here this afternoon
to the effect that the Philippine expe-
-dition had reached Manila, and that
the American forces were in full con-
troll.
1t is Sunday in Manila now, and Just
eight weeks since Dewey destroyed
the Spanish fleet. The report of the
great victory was received here in ex-
actly the same manner as the report
current today became public The
present report may be without sub
stantial basis, but it is believed to be
true because the Charleston and her
convoy left Honolulu on the 4th of
June, and ample time has elapsed since
then for the completion of the trip.
Even Spanish advices admit that the
governor of Manila held out only for
the arrival of the American troops, so
that the report that he has capitulated
is even more probable than appeared
the news which was circulated eight
weeks ago. Nothing official has been
received at the war or navy depart

ture. The first of this trinity is the real
source of all prosperity and national adj
vancement. But the source can not be
maintained in it's original potency, if all
adjacent or contiguous lands are de-
nuded of timber. Treelessness is an
enemy to the farmer.
In Europe the governments have taken
control of the forests. They have es-
tablished special bureaus of arboricul-
ture. Thus the forests of Europe are
being made instruments of health and
fertility. More than that, governments
derive increased revenues from the for
ests over there.
Phenicea and other provinces of Asia
and Africa, once fertile in cereals and
in fruits and inhabited by a dense and
prosperous population are now nothing
more than arid deserts. Their forests,
their prosperity, their existence as poll
teal factors persisted together. Spain
with constantly diminishing forests is
rapidly becoming an infertile and arid
desert. In Scotland, however, and in
France, the cultivation of trees has
demonstrated the beneficent influence
of forests and even in Egypt there is a
p%receptible increase of rainfall since
tree-planting on a large scale has been
introduced.
During the year 1897 Otoe county
shipped eastward and southwark
Bali 1921 bushels of corn, 332 ,075 bushels
of wheat, 1000 head of fat cattle, and
33, JIG head of hogs. During the same
time Otoe county ground into starch
and cereal goods 1,250,0 900 bushels of
corn and made into flour about 100000
bushels of wheat. And during the
same period Otoe county furnished the
Chicago Packing & Provision Co.'S
house with nearly 200, 900 hogs.
These facts and figures only family
suggest the productive possibilities of
Otoe county when nearly all of our four
hundred and odd thousand acres of land
have been put to their utmost capacity
by improved methods of tillage.

Twenty years growth will make a
tract of woodland valuable for manu-
featuring purposes. There are m
Gus trees in Kansas and Nebraska
planted within twenty years, which
prove that timber has grown to such
size in two decades; and if planted in
large quantities, given fair cultivation
in the start, and cared for as they de-
serve, will pay better than anything
grown Oh a farm.
One-tenth of the state in timber would
mean the building up Of a manufactur-
ing community superior to any in the
older states, whose timber supply is now
nearly consumed.
While certain manufactures, as furni-
ture, require lumber from large trees,
yet the most important industries de-
mand young growths, from fifteen to
thirty years age, the wood of which is
strong, elastic and full of life.
Railways are great consumers of wood
in various forms the supply is fast
being exhausted. Timber for this use
should be growing on the prairies, the
demand will only cease when railways
are abandoned.
Those localities which have for more
than a century been denuding the land
of it's timber, cannot be induced to
plant trees, or ever preserve what few
remain, and the West should take adj
vantage Of the situation and create on
the prairie and plain such groves and
woodlands as will supply the continent
with lumber and ties.
Violent winds will be diverted into
higher air currents evaporation be re-
duced thereby; greater regularity in
rainfall will be secured; springs and
rivulets will be fed continually as the
spongelike soil of the woodlands per-
mits the water to percolate slowly ;
SHOWS melting more gradually will be of
greater benefit to agriculture while the
soil will become, each year, more fertile
by the addition of leaves and vegetable
mould.
By changing the industries of the
state from one purely agricultural, adj
ding the manufactures and mechanics
arts, in the consumption of wood grown
in the state, all will enhance the value
of farm productions by providing a
a home demand for them.

formerly dense woodlands, each succeed
ing year has recorded additional areas
in cultivation as acre by acre the forests
have disappeared before the woodman's

quent complaints are made by farmers
that the climate has changed from that
of forty years ago. Streams which
We're formerly of large volume the en-
tire year now become dry, or mere riv-
ulets, during the summer months. At
the same time, with a hard bare surface,
devoid of spongy soil to retain mois-
ture, when sudden rains do come the
water rolls rapidly away, swelling the
streams to flood, yet leaving the surface
without adequate moisture to suffice for
growing crops.
In the Trans-M Missouri region many
groves were planted by the earlier set
tiers, and others have been established
by many farmers, with noticeable re-
suits in the improvement of climatic
conditions rainfall has increased and
orc,,c i,crrOuol in prOrOrtinn ac tho
woodlands have been extended.
All this is but a repetition of history.
Europe and the Orient, as well as Amer
lea, have numerous recorded facts de-
monstrating the evil effects of forest
destruction, and beneficial results from
extending the woodland areas.
While vegetation cannot exist without
some degree of moisture, although GER
tain plants flourish in localities which
are quite arid, and under conditions un-
favorable to the growth of other species,
nature has wisely provided that water
shall be supplied for the support of veg
etable life, and is constantly making
efforts to cover the entire surface of the
land with plants. Masses of trees at
tract moisture and cause precipitation,
the millions of leaves, twigs and tree
trunks aiding in this attraction, while
the fallen leaves, messy logs and under
brush, retain the water for future
supply.
Ten per cent of all the lands in the
plain and prairie region, should be con-
verified into woodland. The remaining
portion would be far more productive
from more careful cultivation, and moth,
ing would be lost by devoting one-tenth
to timber.
