A LUMBER SYNDICATE.
Will Control the Redwood Industry
and Advance Prices.

SEATTLE, Nov. 19.-Before leaving
here for the timber belt Frederick
Weyerhauser told his intimate friends
that he was interested in an Eastern
syndicate which has an option on
bulk of redwood timber lands, together
with twenty-four mills and 30 miles of
railroad in Humboldt County, Cal.
The property in question is owned by
a number of large firms and companies,
including Charles Nelson Mckay &
Co., the Union Lumber Company and
the Albion Lumber Company. The
owners gave an option upon it last
summer which expired November 10th.
This option was renewed and will now
remain in force until next May. The
purpose is to control the redwood lum
Der industry and advance prices. The
deal involves property worth between
S15000,0O0 and $20,000,00O. 1t is
stated to-day that the timber lands
which the Weyerhauser syndicate
seeks to acquire from the Northern Pa
citic Company consists chiefly of a
tract about forty miles square located
in Lewis, Chehalis and Pacific Coun-
ties, where the Weyerhauser party now
is. Weyerhauser's purchase has caused
loggers to advance the prices on fir
logs to mills from So to $3.50 thou

Electrical Transmission.

Electric power can be supplied profit
ably, in very many instances, at rates
which put the small user in the small
town on a parity with his larger rivals,
aside from the immediate gain that can
be made by substituting motors for
steam or gas engines. The development
of water powers gives an opportunity
for building up, all over the country,
industrial communities that will infuse
new life in. the dying prosperity of the
rural DISTRICTS And one of the most
curious features of the growth of cleo
tfic power transmission. which has
made this possible, is the way in which
unutiliZed water powers have come to
light in the most unexpected fashion
and in the most improbable places.
Some one remembers that years ago,
before the great Western States both
raised and ground half the worlds
grain, there was grist mill on a
back country stream. It's site is looked
up after some difficulty and a brief sur
vey develops the fact that reasonable
improvements will yield several hun
bred horse power.-The Engineering

A YAQUI DESERTER.
He Gives the Mexicans Important
Information of His Tribe.

CHICAGO, Nov ia special to the

A Yaoui Indian, a sub-cnief of that
tribe, who deserted the rebels a few
days ago, has arrived here and has fur
nished the military authorities with
much valuable information concerning
the location and plan of campaign of
the Indian forces
He says the Mauser rifles do not
cause as much fear among the Indians
as the old Remingtons, as the bullets
do not infiict such severe wounds and
they heal quickly. There are, accord
ing to this Indian, about 1900 insur-
gents altogether, of which 1900 are
north of the Yaqui River and 200 in the
mountains. The rebels are organized
in companies of forty men each, under
"a Captain, and are drilling regularly,
and the chiefs continually exhort them
to continue the fight until the Yoris

MISSIONARY WORK.
Episcopal Church Will Push It in
Islands Acquired From Spain.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-Aggre ssive
missionary work in the islands acquired
by the United States in the war with
Spain has been determined upon by the
Board of Managers of Missions of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in this
country. This decision, which was
reached at a meeting of the board, held
in this city, is the result of long de-
liberation by the authorities of the
church. At the general convention held
in Washington a year ago a commits
sion on increased responsibilities was
appointed to investigate the question.
This commission. of which Bishop
Doane of Albany was Chairman, re-
ported in favor of the extension of work
to the islands at the missionary coun-
Gil concluded recently at st. Louis. The
report was unanimously accepted by
the council and the commission in
structed to lay the matter before the
Board of Managers
The plans of the board for work in
the new field are outlined in the follow
ing resolutions adopted as a result of
Bishop Doane's report:
Resolved, That a special commission
Of the board be appointed to make
known the opportunities and necessities
for work, which shall not only care for
our own citizens, soldiers in this new
possession and in these new fields of
responsibility, but shall also plant the
church in those islands with such
strength and attractiveness as to show
to the natives themselves the better
way of the church which, in the langu-
age of one of them, is Catholic but
not Roman
Resolved, That the appeal of this
commission shall ask for instant and
generous gifts; first, toward church
buildings in Cuba, Porto Rico and Ma
Mia, and secondly, for an increased
clerical staff in the two first-named
places, and for the reinforcement of
the clergy who are now working in
Manila; thirdly. for the opening of
schools in the three places and the
sending of Christian women to work
IN them as teachers and also to aid in
the care of sick and fourthly, for a
large supply of Spanish prayer books.
Resolved, That the presiding Bishop
be asked to appoint the Bishop of
Shanghai to take the work in Manila
under his care; that the Bishop of
Chicago be asked to make a visitation
to Porto Rico this winter, and that the
Bishop of Pennsylvania, who is to make
a visitation to Cuba, be asked to visit
Porto Rico as well, if the Bishop of
Chicago is unable to 60 The expenses

MONEY FOR PRISONERS.


NEW YORK, Nov. ia special to
the World from Washington says:
At the request of the British Govern
ment the. State Department cabled to
Consul Mcrum at Pretoria asking if
the Transvaal Government would per-
nit him to take charge of money sent
by England to procure comforts for the
British prisoners of war. Upon trans
hitting the request to President Kru-
ger, Macrum was refused CURLY and
told that arrangements respecting pris-
oners must be made through the Gen
eral in the field.
Although anxious for news from
South Africa, this Government has
heard nothing from Consul Macrum for
six days
1t is believed here that the Transvaal
Government will not permit him to
send news in an open dispatch nor al
low him to use a cipher.

no further communication has been had
with the coast since. In the absence

cry of her name by a homeward-b bound
Victoria steamer which already had a
tow.
Apparently the same vessel was seen
few hours afterward by Dodwell q
Co.'S steamer City of Dublin, whose
master upon his arrival said that the
American three-masted schooner Wa
wona, from San Francisco for Puget
Sound. had been seen close to the cape,
and had signaled that it wished to be
reported 1t is believed that the signal
was misunderstood. for in a brief wire
talk with Carmanah Point yesterday
the operator at Otter Point picked out
in fragments the information that the
Captain of the vessel was in difficulty
at that point, and had asked assist
ance, but had been passed by an ORR
entail liner.
This would seem to indicate that 1t
is the Wawona that has come to grief,
but the circumstances of the case can
only be ascertained definitely when
some vessel arrives from the cape, or
when wire connection is restored.

HENDERsoN's PROGRAM.
Wants the Old Rules Of Speaker
Reed Adopted.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Adoption of the old Reed rules, inn
mediate passage of the caucus COM
mittees, financial reform bill and re-
organization of committees along old
lines, as far as possible, with the Re-
publican membership of the Commit
tee on Rules consisting of Messrs. Hen
derson, Dalzell and Babcock, is the
program which Mr.. Henderson, who is
to be Speaker, has marked out for the
House of Representatives as a result
of his conference with the Presi-
dent, the leading members of the House
and with other prominent Republicans
since his arrival in Washington.
At his conference with the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Henderson talked over this
program and found that it met Mr..
McKinley's entire approval. The Pres
ident was especially pleased with the
proposition to pass the financial bill
without delay. 1t is understood that
the whole matter will come up at the
meeting of the Republican caucus on
Saturday, December I'd.
One proposition is to have this eau
Gus consider the question of rules and
the method of procedure with the finan-
cial bill. Another is to put these mat
tiers over for consideration of the spe-
cial caucus to be called for the even
ing of December 9th.
1t is the desire of Mr.. Henderson to
have the financial bill passed during
the first week of the session. 1t may
even be done under a special rule be-
fore the adoption of the regular rules
of the House.
There has been considerable discus
sion among Republican Repras entatives
of proposed changes in the Reed rules,
and the leader of the opposition to this
adoption without change has been Mr..
Henderson's colleague, Mr.. Hepburn of
Iowa. Since Mr.. Henderson's arrival
here, however, it has become known
that he would prefer to be given all the
power his predecessor had. He has
found that he will have the support of
many of the leaders in carrying such
rules through, and, it is said, the Presi-
dent would be glad to have them adopt
ed. as it would insure more speedy ac-
ton on the various Administr alton
measures which will be brought for
ward.
Under these rules absolute power is
lodged in the Committee on Rules so
long as a majority of that committee
can command the support of majority
of the House.
The committee consists of three men,
bers of the majority and two of the
minority. 1t is always headed by the
Speaker, who dominates it.
