Adylces from the Hague, and also
from Washington are to the effect that
President Kruger Is anxious for the
powers to interfere in behalf OF the
African republics, and that the United
States possibly Is seeking 10 obtain an
understanding as 20 the basis upon
which peace negotiations can BE- COM
menced. It would certainly be a great
relief to all interested in the progress
OF civilization TO know that peace over
lures may be inaugurated az any mo-
ment, but there seems to be but little
chance Of success at present The

demonstrated their right 10 independent

ARTILLERYMEN NEEDED.

Secretary Roots army reorganization
scheme contemplated among other
things TO have certain promotions in the
grade Of colonel. leutenant-colonel and
major made by selection and as re-
ward for merit, instead OF by the rule Of
seniority. This part Of the plan seems,
however 10 meet with great deal Of
criticism among army officers eventual
ly affected by the proposed change, and
so determined Is the opposition. that the
measure probably win not b. agreed up
on by the present Congress.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington says the fact Is by the gov
eminent considered alarming. The In
crease OF the artillery service TO a
strength absolutely needed TO care for
the sea coast defense works, is ques-
ton that canno, be put OF indefinite
~, and II the debate on the secretary's
plan is deferred the clauses referring
to the artillery service VIII be served
the same way. The only remedy is TO
make separate bill OF the part treat
Ing OF the artillery and urge its adop-
ton.
General Miles estimates that over 49,
900 men are urgently needed to take
care Of the batteries and expensive
guns In the various forts. The present
strength, including the service in Puer-
TO Rico. cuba and the Philippines IL
about 10000 men. The total money In
vestment In the guns Of the coast de-
lenses today. Is said to be $50, SiS.
The deterioration Of these guns and car
riares from lack OF care due to an in
sufficient force Of men is estimated to
be at least 10 per cent and amounts
therefore, to s7,552927 annually. The
saving 10 the country by Increasing the
artillery service to the proposed number
Is. therefore, calculated at about S.
100000 annually.
There can be no valid objection TO a
proposition that has for its aim the
preservation Of the coast defenses. As
the world at present Is constituted, II
Is absolutely necessary 10 be prepared
for defensive warfare. Il follows that
men are needed 20 take care OF the
works OF defense. Standing armies and
a vast apparatus FOR offensive war ere
not necessary In a country like this, but
an army to care FOR the expensive war
material on hand Is different Pre-
paredness for war consists now in the
possession Of much frst-class material
In good order. When that is on hand

It Is strange that so many OF the ex-
cellent admonltions given BY the lead
ers Of the Church OF Jesus Christ OF
Latter-day Saints are passed over with
out notice by It's enemies, and whenever
an opportunity arises, through some
incidental remark. to convey an I'M

Il is heraldcd abroad, a false construc-
ton Is placed upon II. and a forbiddlng

Of some people and the paltry spirit by
which they are possessed. II calls to
mind the saying OF the Prophet Isaiah,
IN relation to events to occur in the
latter days:
'For the terrible one Is brought TO

and all that watch for iniqulty are cut

SHEEP AND FOREST GROWTH

The discussion as 10 whether or not
sheep injure the forest growth still
goes on, though in this part Of the
country the view Is being generally TAX
en- that no injury to forests results from
allowing the woolgrowers TO pasture
therein. The report OF f. Il. Town, Of
the United States geological survey.
made from the standpoint Of one who
inclined to the view that sheep dam
aged forests, is interesting in It's bear
ing on the subject. The gentleman has
made careful examination OF the Big
Horn forest reserve in Wyoming, and
thus presents his findings:
In every part Of the reserve are
found areas destitute OF timber which
are called parks. These vary I'm ex-
tent from a few acres TO thousands Of
acres. II Is Impossible 70 estimate With
any accuracy their aggregate extent,
but It Is great. think II is safe 70 say
that not less than one-half Of the area
OF this forest reserve consists Of these
parks. The parks are covered with
grass ana IN some cases no timber is to
be seen. These parks afford excellent
pasturage for stock during the summer
months | find that during the past
summer between three and four thou
sand head Of cattle ranged IN the noun
tain park north Of Tongue river and to-
ward Bald mountain. In addition TO
these cattle there was large number OF
sheep in the same vicinity during the
seaeOn--probably not fewer than 49,
600 head. / have had excellent oppor-
tunlty TO look into the charge that
sheep eat OF the young trees and
sprouts just springing up. and also
gnaw the bark Of young trees and XIII
the growing timber. ! found sheep In
almost every park In the mountains
and | examined carefully through the
timber after the sheep had passed. but

dence OF the correc tness of the charges
] was unable TO find so much as
twig ~ pine OF a spruce tree large
or small, which had been bitten or
touched by the sheen. Hence / am
Obliged 10 say that this charge Of sheep
lnjurlng the forest reserves or the tim
Der thereon is entirely unfounded,"
