ROBERTS CAUSES TROUBLE
The Prf SbYtefisnS Struggle Wiih
 The Question.

Springville, Utah, Sept. 1-The i presbytery Ci1 Utah, which is in ses-
 sion here, is again wrestling with the Roberts question. The reverend gen tlemen composing this body are some what divided in opinion on the matter. 1 It was reported on the quiet that the reverend gentlemen would this year carefully avoid any action 1n the mat 1 ter, -Rs the declarations of last year, according to the story, were known to have hindered the work of the Presby- .eriar church in Utah. The brethren, however. seemed not to iba of one mind
 in this matter, as it came up, and a warm discussion developed.
 A resolution was introduced affirm ing the preamble Of the Manti resoIu- ton last year, and danouncing the ac- ten of mobs in religious affairs. This latter clause was in reference to the recent mob violence in Georgia, of which Mormon missionaries were the victims
 At the evening session tonight a few matters of routine work were attended to and the ordination of 1dr. Euvis of KaysviIFe w,as deferred uEtil next April. Then the report Of the com
 ntttee On the Roberts resolution was called for. A motion to the effect that the report be considered behind closed doors was put and carried with bus one dissenting vote The Rsv A. T. Rankin of Brigham City objected to the secret ses-iCn, and stated that so lar as he was concerned he did not expect to say CT do anything to be ashamed Of Reporters and spectators were then excluded and the presbytery went into executive session.

 The chamber of commerce of Hagen,
 speaking for the ircn and steel man.
 ufacturing district in Rhenish Prussia
 says:
 "The wire-manufacturing branch ] has shown no improvement during
 1898, now can such be looked for in the near future. The combination of
 the factories in 1897 led to consider able improvement in the price Of the goods sold in our country The wire tack trust, which was organized last fall, has begun it's activity by ad- vancing the prices for domestic con- sumption. The orders from abroad are carried out at sacrificiaI prices, but the sacrifice is borne by the combine instead cf by individual competitors. as was the case formerly. The syn3 dicates in coal, pig iron and half finished goods allows a bounty on all kinds of wire and wire tacks exported, which helps the manufacturers to compete in the international markets.
 "The strained conditions that now exist in this branch are due to the competition of the United States The iron trade there has developed in a stUpefying manner, making the coun- try a productive power of the first class. The condition of this trade in Germany has, during the last year, grown more and more0 unfavorable, because the Americans have steadily taken possession of the markets in Japan, China and Australia, which heretofore had been supplied mainly by German products. The prices abroad have at the close of the year declined SC low that even German works that produce rolled wire have to give up taking contracts on account of the cost of the raw material. Nor is the outlook fer the lately estab- Iished wire-tack trust at all auspic- :ous, as it must submit to heavy sac rifices in order to snatch at least a few orders from the claws of Ameri- ran competition

PENNSYLVANIA'S FORESTS.

DR.. Rothrock, the State Fores.
try Commissioner, will have the
substantial support ofGov. Stone
in the movement to protect the
forests of the Commonwealth and
to establish great forest reserva-
tions. Commissioners Rothrock
has been all over the State and he
has secured options ON several
tracts of land aggregating about
100000 acres. This land can be
purchased for q dollar or there
abouts an acre and it is the policy
of the State to purchase wherever
it is to the advantage of the Com
monwealth. Governor Stone re-
Gently had a conference with
Prof. Rothrock and it was decid-
ed to call a meeting of the Board
of Property to consider the pur-
chase of the land on which the
Commissioner has secured OPP
tions at favorable terms.
The most serious obstacle in
the way is the depleted condition
of the State treasury. Gov. Stone
says he will gladly do what he
can to help along the forestry
movement, but he cannot see his
way clear to the approval of an
expenditure involving 100000
with the State treasury $3,000,-
600 behind. There is no doubt
however, that he will stretch a
point to enable Commissioner
Rothrock to accomplish what he
has set about to do.
These State reservations are
not to be in any sense mere pri-
vate preserves as this notice
which the commissioner has
caused to be posted on all the
tracts will show: "This land be-
longs to the State of Pennsylva-
mia. Destruction or removal of
timber or other property is for
hidden. Lawful hunting and
fishing are allowed on State lands,
but fires must not be started"

TOO BIG FOR HIS BOOTS.

With great trouble a small body
of men were hoisting a heavy log
to the top of a block house that
was being repaired, after an as
sault in one of the campaigns of
the war of American Indepen-
dence.
AS the log swung to and fro the
voice of a little man was heard en-
couraging the workers with a
'Heave away! There she goes.
Heave ho."
BY and by there rode past an
officer in plain clothes, who asked
the little man why he did not help
the others.
"Sir," )" was the pompous reply,
81 am a corporal"
"Indeed," said the other, 81
did not know that; ask your par,
don, Mr.. Corporal. "
Dismounting without further
ado, the officer lent "a willing hand
till the job was done. Then, wip-
ing the honest sweat off his brow
he turned to the little man and
said; "The next time, Mr., Corpo-
raj, you have a bit of work like
that in hand, and too few men to
do it, send for the commander-in-
chief, and will come again and
assist you"
With which offer and rebuke
General Washington left the as
tonished corporal to his own re-
Elections.

DEwEY's WASHINGTON HOME.

Admiral Dewey has elected to
accept n house in Washington, al
ready constructed, instead of
having one built for his occupa-
tion. In accordance with the in
vitation of the committee which
has had in charge the Dewey
home fund, he called at the office
Of Acting Secretary Allen in the
Navy Department to indicate his
preferences in the matter of Il
residence. There were present,
besides Mr. Allen, Assistant
Secretary Vanderslip, Assistant
Postmaster General Heath and
General Corbin.
The Admiral was officially in
formed of the purpose of the peo-
pie of the United States to pre-
sent him with home in Wash
ington He frankly expressed
his qualification at the tender,
which he Immediately accepted.
He said, had the proposed home
been the gift of few wealthy
men, he should feel indisposed to
accept it, But he noted that the
fund had over 43, 900 subscribers,
indicating that the home was to
be really the gift of the American
people, and as such he would ac-
cept it with as much pleasure as
he had the sword bestowed upon
him by Congress.
He then talked upon the loca-
ton of the residence. The Adj
miral showed u decided prefer
ence for the section in which he
had made his home during his
former details of duty in Wash
ington. First of all, he wanted
the house at the earliest possible
moment, so that he might ego
in and hang up his hat at once,
as he put it. Of course, that pre-
cluded the idea of erecting a
house to meet his special needs.
He expressed his IDEAS as to the
character of the home he desires,
and asked that the house be mod
est enough in appointments and
cost to permit of the retention OF
sufficient sum of money from
the purchase fund to defray the
expense of furnishing it. The
sum in the committees hands
amounts to about $4,000.
