Palaces on Forest Reserve.

+. II. Brigham, Pacific coast inspector
of Government surveys, says that some
of Altadena's palatial homes. owned by
wealthy Fasteners, among whom are
many Chicago men, are inside the forest
reserve. When Mckinley proclaimed the
southern California reserve he did so from
a map which showed the mountains only
approximately and marked out the reserve
not knowing that the Altadena residences
built near the foot of the mountains were
there. Brigham says this does not cloud
the title in the least, but might work
hardship for owners if certain laws m
contemplation for reserves are passed.
The matter will soon be adjusted by a
change of boundary Of the survey so as
to exclude the Altadena homes. In the
meantime there are forestry rules as to
fires and cutting of timber which these
millionafres must obey.

WIDE EXPANSION IN TRADE.
r. G. BUN & Co. Say 1t Has Never Been
% Marked Before.

r. G. BUN & Co. Say 1t Has Never Been
% Marked Before.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: There is still increase in all
legitimate business and the productive
power of great industries increases even
though some of their stocks decline. The
sharp reaction in speculation week ago
in no way affected the producing capacity
of furnaces or mills and has been in part
recovered, while the disturbance of bust
ness caused by the formation of great
combinations has in large measure ceased.
The money market is in safer and more
wholesome condition, and in spite of four
heavy payments by large syndicates,
amounting to about S50,OO0,OO0, has
grown easier. The only stringency has
been in call loans. 1t is not owing to
speculation alone that payments through
the chief clearing houses have been 81
per cent larger than in the same week of
1892, and 1888 per cent larger than last
year. New York transactions far exceed
those of any previous week, 81, 4GS, 5O2,-
700 in amount, but outside New York the
clearings were 41.5 per cent larger than
in 1898, and 44.6 per cent larger than in
1892. The truth is that no such eXpan-
sion in the general business of the country
has ever been seen before. Failures for
the week have been 1873 in the United
States, against 254 last year, and % in
Canada, against IS last year."

Government Laborers Refused a Free
Ride Lay Ties on Track.
A freight train on the Burlington Rail
road was wrecked at Old Monroe, Mo.
Engineer Sled jumped and escaped I'M
hurt, but Fireman Oreil was caught be-
meath the engine. The train was heavily
loaded with stock, all of which was killed,
entailing a loss Of many thousands Of dol
lars. The wreck, it is declared, was caus-
ed by Government laborers who became
incensed because they were refused free
ride during the previous afternoon. A
number of ties were laid across the track
and other obstacles thrown in the way.
The opinion is that they intended to de-
rail the st. Louis and Hannibal fast mail
train, which was about due. A number

General Lawton's Command Returns
to Aid General Macarthur.


Gen. Lawton's expedition returned to
Manila Monday morning pursuant to or
ders from Maj. Gen. Otis. Lawton aban-
doned number Of towns and twenty
miles of territory along the lake which
had been cleared Of Filipinos.
The withdrawal of Gen. Lawton from
the Laguna de Bay country was not I'M
expected by officers Of the War Depart
ment. Gen. Schwan. acting adjutant
general said: Gen. Otis sent this eXpe-
dition to southern Luzon for the purpose
of destroying any insurgent forces that
might be found there, to make a careful
reconnaissance and to spread broadcast
the recent proclamation of the Philippine
commission, setting forth the purposes of
this Government with respect to the ISL
ands. / understand that he will release
all the prisoners he has taken, and they
will be sent to their homes. By this action
it is hoped that he will prove to the Fill
pinos that the Americans are not as bar
barous as the insurgents pretend we are,
and that we propose to treat the Fill
pinos humanely.'
Dispatches from Manila say that Gen.
Lawton thinks it would be necessary for
the United States to send 100000 troops
to the Philippine Islands if the natives
continued hostile. He said that it was
essential to garrison all the cities cap
turcd or~that are to be captured in the
future operations if the insurrection was
to be put down. Gen. Lawton's opinion is
given great deal of weight among the
officers in Washington. They say his
wide experience with guerrilla warfare
makes him a most capable judge of the

Three men killed and five injured is the
result of a boiler explosion in a sawmill
located about eight miles east of Chippe-

furnished by a twenty-horse power engine
and boiler. Without any warning the
boiler exploded, entirely demolishing the
building and hurting eight workmen high

weak condition of the boiler, having been
in use for a number of years. The three
