NEW PROPOSALS
OF PEACE
Two Filipino Officers Meet
General Otis.

MANILA, May 2.-Major Manuel
Arguelezeas and Lieutenant Jose Ber-
nal, of the staff of General Antonio
Luna, returned here today to renew
and press the request of General Luna
for cessation of hostilities. They
have found their field OF labor a most
uncongenial one. The two officers
were received and admitted to con-
ference with Major General Otis. The
proposals which they had to submit
differed but slightly from those which
they brought from the Filipino CON-
mander in the first place. They de-
sired lisile time III which to summon
congress, and expressed themselves as
being confident that congress will de-
cree peace, because the people desire
it. They represent that Aguinaldo
is without power to surrender the
army and that congress must decide
that question. Incidentally the Fill
pinos ENJOYS asserted that Aguinaldo
had not yet made a fair test of his
strength against the American forces.
because but one-third of his army had
been assembled together. The ENJOYS
presented letter from Senior Malini,
president and minister of foreign af-
fairs. in the cabinet of Aguinaldo, and
who is the backbone of the Filipino
organization. The communication is
personal and unofficial, and seconds
Major Arguelezeas' arguments.
Whether or not General Luna is
sincere in his overtures, the negotia-
tions are giving the insurgents much
needed opportunity to reorganize
their demoralized forces. The truth
is, the dissensions among the leaders
of the rebels is helping Oh the
organization of the Filipino army al
most as much as the American cam
paign. In course of conference with
the Filipino envoys. General Otis
agreed with the statement of Major
Arguelezeas that the people of the
Philippines wanted peace, and he ad-
ded that requests for protection were
pouring upon him from all parts OF the
country.
General Lawton was engaged in
hard fighting early this morning, but
telegraphic communication was cut at
a. M, and there have been no reports
from Lawton since that time.

Silver hts taken sudden jump from
500 cents to 634 cents an ounce. The
rise is said to be the result of the
enormous production of gold and the
falling off in the production of the white
metal during the past year. Whatever
the cause has been it will have good
effect in the mining districts where it
will stimulate the silver mine owners
to renew their energies, and in the
long run will help all producers, for
when men are pus to work in the now
idle mines they will become consumers
of all kinds of products,

There seems to be great deal Of
unnecessary odium thrown on the So
called mothers meetings In regard
to the return of the volunteers. Why
should not the mothers give voice to
their feelings, and ask for the return
of their boys. These women do not
want movement that would appear
like q stampede in the face OF the
enemy, nor is there one amongst them
that would wish to see dishonor cast ON
the volunteers or the country. Still it
is quite legitimate for them to ask
that their boys be replaced by regular
troops and relieved from that duty
which they have performed 30 well.

The fact that the expenditures of the
United State were S24, 100000 greater
than the receipts in April is not en-
couraging. and emphasizes the oft re.
peated statement that stricter economy
is demanded in governmental affairs.
The people are already taxed about all
they can stand, and the only hope of
escaping from bankruptcy lies in the
the cutting down OF the expenses OF
the government.

When the news had been fitted

presidential election in November,

it was announced by the Oregonian
that 1000 commercial travellers would
be started on the road at once soliciting
orders, because confidence had been
restored and business would be re-

at that time that inside Of three years

Troops on the Move.

WARDNER, Idaho, May 4.-Troops
are continuing the search for dyna.
miters and number have bee1 placed
under guard. General Merriam, At
torney-General Hayes and United
States Marshal Ramsey have arrived.
A detachment of troops has been or
dered to Canyon Creek and Mullen,
strongholds of the enemy, and with
them will go number of non-union
miners, who will try. to identity the
dynamiters, and it is feared the des.
perate men will give battle before
they will give in to the officers.

the ignorance and superstition of the

gallant Dewey would never adorn the

names Of Sampson and Schley would
have passed into oblivion, "the hero of

THE NEW FORESYRY SYSTEM

Among the acts of the government
of the United States during recent
years which are most likely to leave a
permanent impress, the reservation OF
forest areas will take prominent
place. For more than a century after
the government was organized it acted
as if forest wealth were inexhaustible
and made no special effort to protect
it from unnecessary destruction: but
within few years past a very differ
ent course of action has been entered
upon and the progress made is 81 rapid
that few have been able to keep track
of the most recent developments of the
new policy. The forest reserves es-
tablished by Withdrawing from sale
and settlement large areas where they
are most invaluable as the sources of
streams important for navigation and
irrigation number thirty-five and they
embrace total area of forty six mil.
lion acres, which would make thirty
one states of the size of Delaware.
Eleven different states and territories
haye part in this system of forestry
reserves. The largest reserve is in
Oregon and embraces nearly 100000
acres, extending from north to south
pa miles. When the making of re-
serves began there was considerable
opposition ma Infested, but it has dis
appeared since settlers and miners
have learned that reserving a forest
area does not mean locking up its re-
sources. but only the use of them uu-
der such regulations as will prevent
extinction.
While the reservation system was
established several years ago, .he fire
patrol system is only about year old
and the results so far accomplished
are not generally known. United
States Commissioner Blnger Hermann
reports that the forestry service of the
governments now includes nine super
intendents, twenty-seven supervisors
and It's rangers or fire pa,rGlmen.
ALI the reserves are mapped and each
fire patrol district is designated, SO
that the location of given supervisor
or ranger can be determined by refer
ence to the map. Each party of pros
pectors, hunters or pleasure seekers
which enters forest reserve must do
SO under the supervision of the patrol
men, who visit the camps and see to
the extinguishment of fires. AS an
example of the great difference which
this careful supervision makes in the
liability to forest fires, Mr.. Hermann
states that .'last year was the first one
for long time in which the people of
Oregon were able to get clear views of
Mount Hood; smoke of forest fires
usually obscures it for months at a
time, but last year the government
patrol prevented fires and the noun
tain was not obscured by smoke a
single day."

0. s. SECRET SERVICE WORK

The leaders of the dynamiting mob
on Canyon Creek and at Mullen are
seeking safety by flying to the hills
and crossing the state line into Mon
tana. Here is work for the United
States secret service. 1t is impossible
for the Idaho state authorities to pur-
sue these fugitives and rout them OUT
OF their hiding places; but the federal
secret service can do the work, and it
should set about that duty without de-
lay. 1t is maintained for just such
service, and its authority to act in this
matter is unquestioned, says the
Spokesman-Review.
The mob leaders are guilty of muir
der, and should be hanged. They are
responsible for the MODS deviltry.
Remove them and the problem will be
solved. Peace will descend on the
stricken Ceur d'Alenes, confidence
will be gradually restored, capital will
take new courage, the undeveloped
mines will be exploited, employment
will be given to additional union min.
ers. the business interests of the
will flourish, and poor claim
owners who have been waiting for
years for an opportunity to sell their |
prospects to mining capitalists will |
have their reward.

A RUSH FOR LAND.
HOmeseekers Making Eager Efforts to

DENVER May 3.-A special to the

reservation opening at noon, May 4.
The man is- Philip F. Voight, of Blan-
ca, Costila county, Colo. News OF
voight's initiative sped quickly over
the city during the morning, and at
noon the line began to lengthen at a
rapid rate. By nightfall it had ex-
tended down the stairway iuto the
street, the last man being compelled
to stand in the wind and snow, which
had been playing ftfully upon the
thoroughfares all day. Two young
women, Misses Emma and Adela
Stollsteimer, neither of whom is over
20 years of age, occupy the third and
fourth places in the line, their brother,
A. F. Ftollsteimer, holding second
place. Those in line have agreed to
hold the line intact while the members
take turns at eating and sleeping, pro.
vided that the later arrivals would
assent to it. There are several hundred
boomers in the city, but most of them
will have the run for the land, believing
that to be the safer way, although
Register Perkins has announced that
he will not receive duplicate filings,

the land were begun. A snow storm
