VALUABLE FORESiS
Exists in the PhiIipp1nes-Bureau Di-
 rector's Report.

Washington, November 25-In he Phi ippine Bureau of Forestries report the df- rector, Captain Ahern, states that from different sources of information Ie is led to believe the public forest lands comprise from one-fourth to possible oneyhalf the area of the Philippine Islands, or from twenty to forty million acres
 Captain Ahern mentions tracts of virgin forests to be seen on the Seven Islands, where from ten to twenty thousand cubic feet of magnificent timber per acres was standing with trees more than 150 feet in height, the trunks clear of branches for 60 feet and more than four feet n diame- ter. He states that in these forests there are millions of cubic feet of timber which should be cut out in order to thin this dense growth so the maximum growth could be obtained There are a very large variety of valuable gum, rubber and gutta- percha trees, seventeen dye woods and the Ylang Ylang, the oil from blossoms of which latter tree Is the base of so many perfumes.

Proposal 10 Drain Gulf Laid Be-
 fore Dutch Parliament.
IS A GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING
Conservative Estimates for the Recent Scheme Put the Cost at Mini mum of Sso,ooo, ,ooo-over
 Thirty Years Work.

The Dutch Cabinet submitted to the
 proposing to orain the entire Zuyder
 Zee.
 No less a sum than $100000,000 has
 been figured out as the cost of reclaim ing The Land of Dead Cities" as what is known as the Gulf of Zuyder Zee has been called. Official estimates, made
 some six years ago, calculated for an
 outlay of only $8O,OOO,0OO, but experi-
 ence in undertakings of the sort war
 rants the expectation that the first men, toned sum will be nearer the eventual expenditure.
 For the past half of century at least there has been a succession of schemes for driving back the sea from what was once terra firma. It was only in the fifteenth century that the Zuyder Zee assumed it's present form-a gulf so miles long and PIP miles in circumfer-
 enee. Elaborate plans were laid before
 royal commission several years ago, and at the beginning of 1899 it was re- ported that final arrangements had been
 made and that the work would be be- gun and completed, it was hoped, with
 in the reign of the oung Queen Wilhel- l nina.
 The main idea was to construct an
 embankment or sea wall twenty-five
 miles long, running across the mouth of
 the gulf, and then four enormous "pol- ders," which would drain and untilize what were the best parts of the zuyder Zee, from an agricultural point Of view,
 and~still leave the deep water channel
 as at present, while the Yssel and some
 smaller rivers would be free to run into
 lake to be known as the Ysselmeer,
 an outlet therefrom being provided by locks and sluices at one of the ends of
 the embankment.
 The land to be reclaimed covered a supeTficies of 750 square mfles-more than half the size of Rhode Island. The proposal was that the work should take
 in all something over thirty years The building of the main embankment and other dykes was to take eight years,
 and the rest of the task twenty-four
 years more.
 From the foregoing dispatch it would appear that a new idea, that oi drain
 ing the Zuyder Zee in it's entirety, has busted the oIder plan.

SOUTHERN CLUB.
Annual Election Soon to Occur-Affairs
 in Excellent Shape.

The Southern Club will holds its annual meeting about the middle of December, at which time officers for the next year will be elected. Considerable interest in the elec- tion is being manifested, and 1t Is under stood that there will be at least two tick cts before the club at this election. One of these will be headed by Maj. Frank Y. Anderson, who has been president of the club for the past six or seven years and the other by Erkine Ramsay. The clubs membership has grown very much in the past two or three years and numbers near ly 20. It is stated that the board of gov ernors will be able to report the club 8 indebtedness almost entirely wiped out when the meeting is held. This will be remarkably fine showing for that organiz- ation. as 1t will then own it's splendid home at Fifth avenue and Twentieth street. which is worth probably $25,000, and have but a small debt hanging over it. This place was bought five years ago, and since that time the club has paid for it, and in addition has made several improvements It is probable that the club will build a new home next year.

SACRED MUSI1.
Splendid Services at the Various

Town Topics.

Town Topics" is title that suggests all kinds of humorous possibilities, and 1t is said that athey are found in the farce com edy of that name that will be seen at Jeff ferson Theatre next Thursday afternoon and night. The scene opens in Mrs. Quick 8 boarding house. The American boarding house is familiar to most of us, ald we know that there is always something to promote fun and digestion in that inter esting institution The boarding house in Town Topics is lively place and there is plenty of fun. The second act takes place at the seaside, and here the husband of the presiding goddess of the boarding house meets some nice gentlemen who give hlm the glad-hand and lead him into all kinds of scrapes. He thinks he is smart
 but he is not smart enough. He meets some beautitul girls, too, and they help the fun along They sing, they dance, and there Is rip-roaring time. In the last act we find the husband home again, and he has to set tie matters with his wife. The story<is in- terrupted frequently to allow of musical and terpsichorean numbers and specialties.

Annual Banquet of the Chicago
 Commercial Club
FRYE-PAYNE SUBSIDY BILL
Proposed Measure Severely Criticised. Designed to Promote Interest of Limited Number of Companies.
 A New Bill is Favored.

Chicago November a5.-Merchant marine interests were discussed last night by the Commercial Club at its banquet at the Aud itorfum Hotel. The Frye-Payne subsidy bill, which is expected to be introduced early before the next Congress, was criti- cized by the speakers as measure designed to promote the interests of limited num- Der of companies.
 Henry w. Peabody of Boston, with large interests in trans-oceanic trade, who has been active in efforts to secure revision of the Frye-Payne bill, analyized the features of the measures, which he considered to be detrimental to the general interests of the merchant navy. In substitution of the sub sidy bill he urged one framed on the sug- gestions of President Mckinley and Secre- tary Gage as made twice to Congress.
 This bill Is not in the interest of the country at large" he said. Tt represents the interests of the committee on promo tion If il becomes law, as there is reason to expect that it will, there can be no hope for the American merchant marine for twenty years to come."
 Mir. Peabody advised enactment into a law of the Presidents suggestion that a. certain number of foreign built vessels be permitted to come under the American flag and be registered asNAmerican vessels upon the provision that an equal number of tons be constructed in American ship yards by the companies making the foreign pur- chases.
 Former Congressman George E. Adams proposed the reconstruction of the mer- chant marine by consolidation of its three branches by which it would be made possible for shipyards on the lake to com- pete with shipyards on the coast. The link ing of coastwise with foreign trade, he said, could be made possible by the building of the Nicaragua canal and the consolidation of inland and foreign trade by the construc- tion of twenty-foot canal from the lakes to the gulf.

Harmony as to the Collective Note
 Said to Exist.

Berlin, November 25.-Foreign office of- ficials inform the correspondent of the As socated Press that the collective note adopted by the foreign ministers at Pekin having been submitted to the government was soon to be unanimously accepted. It was pointed out that there was para graph therein suggesting that the home governments express their additional wishes and it was admitted that the United States might have done so. But the off, cials referred to decline to give any further details, pleading the necessity for preserv- ing diplomatic secrecy. They insist that United States Minister Conger has acted throughout in harmony with all the foreign representatives.

MelKLEJoHN's PLACE WANTED.

From a Washington Letter.
 John W. Yerkes, late Republican candi- date for Governor of Kentucky, is an appli- cant for the office of assistant secretary of war in the event that Assistant Secretary Meikeliohn, now engaged in his canvass for election to the United States Senate from Nebraska, is successful in that contest. When Mir Yerkes and some of his Ken lucky friends paid their respects to the President on Friday. MT. Yerles' ambition was suggested to the President, who said he would bear it in mind if a change In the office of assistant secretary became neces- sary by reason of Meikeljohn's election to the Senate. Kentucky Republicans claim that the fight made by their candidate in the Blue Grass State this year entities him to consideration at the hands of the administration.
