FOREST RESERVE IN HILLS.


Survey.
A great deal Of attention has been
called lately TO the Importance OF the
Black Hills forest reserve, on account
of the work just finished by Mr.. e. NJ.
Griffith, field assistant in the division
of forestry in the department of agri-
culture. He has recently finished q
forest survey, which is preliminary
to the preparation of a working
plan" for the forests of the reserves,
which vas taken at the request Of the
secretary of the interior. The plan
will be submitted to him next spring
and if adopted, will result in the first
application of scientific forestry to ma
tional lands.
The Black Hills reserve contains
1,3ll $50 acres and it is said that no
other tract this size in this country or
abroad, presents more favorable con-
ditions for forest management than
does this reserve. 1t is convenient to
markets on all sides where there is a
constant demand for timber. The
forest reproduces itself easily and
rapidly. Twelve hundred acres were
examined during the past summer,
and exact figures were collected as to
the size and kind of trees standing,
from which an estimate can be made
of the future yield of timber. After
leaving the Black Hills Mr.. Griffith
and his assistants went TO Missouri tC
begin n similar work on a large trac,
of hardwood land belonging to the
Deering Harvester company.

MONUMENT TOJENNlE WADE
Members of the Iowa w. II. q. Start a
Movement.

Movement.
Members of the Women's Relief
corps in Iowa are very much interested
in the movement to erect a monument
to the memory Of the heroine, Jennie
Wade, at the scene of the battle of
Gettysburg. Circular letters have
been sent to every branch Of the Wo-
mems Relief corps IN the state, calling
for donations to the fund.
The circular recites the deeds Of the
noble girl and the incident during
which she met her death, she having
been shot down while feeding a num-
Der Of hungry soldiers. The women of
Iowa at the close of the national Wo-
mems Relief corps convention at Phil
adelphia in 1899, visited the battlefield
and saw the little brick house with the
hole left by the minnie ball in the door
that took her life. She had supplied
cold water to the weary soldiers dur
ing the days Of the bloody battle and
fed them.

NATIONAL SENATE
Thursday. December o.

The senate today transacted no bust
ness of Importance in open session.
Throughout almost the entire forenoon
IL was in executive session. The ship
subsidy bill, therefore, received no
consideration.
Mr.. Carter of Montana. gave notice
that on Tuesday next he would call up
the pending resolution relating To the
contested Montana seat in the senate
claimed by both w. A. Clark and Mar
tin McGinnis.
The senate then, at il:40 on motion
of Mr.. Lodge, went into an executive
session, which lasted four hours, the
entire time being devoted to the dis.
cussion by Senator Morgan of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty for the abrogation
of the portion of the Clayton Bulwcr
treaty which relates to the Nicaraguan
canal.
In the course of his speech he said
that he did not really consider hat the
treaty need have any special bearing
upon the bill, and that he believed that
ii was competent for the United States
to proceed with the building of the ca
nal regardless of the treaty or OF
Great Britain's wishes in the matter,
but to satisfy other senators and also
to meet the wishes of the secretary
| of state, for whom he incidentally cx'
pressed the highest esteem, he would
consent to action upon the treaty, and
do all he could for it.
Discussing the question of the forti
f~cation of the canal, Senator Morgan
argued s~trcnuously against 1t, both a'
incNpedient and unnecessary. He con
tended that Great Britain was not tn,
only power whose interests would b'
affected 10y n provision for fortified
ton, and said that Nicaragua and Costs
Rica had a right to be considered il
that conuectivn. Furthermore, in cast
of war, everybody knew that the cana
would be protected by the fullest EEK
tent, SO that any provision bearing OF
this point was needless.
He admitted, however. that he hat
no doubt that If the United State
should proceed with the construction
of the canal, without first taking step
to secure the neutrality of the canal
Great Britain would be grievously OF
Tended, and that he thought it not i'm
possible that the offense would Ice con
sidered sufficiently grave to lead t
hostilities between the W countries
'Do YOU mean" asked senator Bcy
crlupe, tUdJ, HpJW ltlsttnulhP VI
present friendly relations between tn
countries, England might declare wa
if we should construct the canal wit
our own means and in our W way?'
Senator Morgan replied that he cor
sidered that result among the, prob;
bilities. But" he said, Il should ut
be deferred by that circumstance"
Mr.. Mason asked whether it wa
true that If the Hay-Pauncefote treat
prevented the use of the canal b
Great Britain in time Of war the col
verse proposition that it also pre-
hibited such use by the United Stat,
was not also true.
To this Mr.. Morgan did not max
direct reply, saying that he won
take up that point later in his di
cussion. In discussing the points
the treaty with Senator Teller, u
Alabama senator expressed the vel
that the Clayton. Bulwer treaty is u
constitutional and for this reason,
for no other, it should be d~isregarde

DEAD BODIES COME HOME
Transport Hancock Arrived with Fifteen
Hundred Bodies.

Hundred Bodies.
The transport Hancock has arrived
at San Francisco from Manila via
Nagasaki with a grucsome cargo. 1t
consisted of the bodies of about 1900
sailors and soldiers who either died in
battle or succumbed to the ravages of
disease in the Philippines, China,
Guam and Honolulu. This is the
largest number of bodies brought
home since the outbreak of the Span
sh-American war. The Hancock will
likely remain in quarantine a few
days. The bodies will be conveyed to
the Preside and placed in the build
ings there pending interment or ship
ment to relatives.
The Hancock brought ffty-two pas
sengers, 100 in the s~teerages and there
were eleven deaths on the voyage.

ABE MOORE IN TROUBLE
Former Nebraska Cattle King In Jail
Mt Chicago.

Abe Moore, formerly known as the
Nebraska cattle king, was sent to the
county Jail at Chicago December IL.
Moore was one Of the largest shippers
of western cattle until about two
years ago. Then he sold, it is alleged,
a mythical herd to Chicago dealers and
realized many thousand dollars. He
was sentenced to the ~penitentiary and
recently the appellate court sustained
the decision of the lower court. Moore
was in Nebraska on bond when the
decision Of the appellate court was
rendered. A capias for him was issued
and two deputy sheriffs started for
Nebraska with 1t, but met Moore ON

ans feared Meiggs' rapid strides to
wealth, and demanded large price
for the rental of the sheltered side
OF the breakwater, even should the
work be done without cost to the re-
public. Consequently. the project
failed, and today the wind-swept bay
is without protection.
In 1870 the financial world was
amazed by the magnitude of a con.

ed for the construction of a complete
Peruvian railway system, even to a
line crossing the summit Of the Andes
Meiggs was to deliver the lines ready
for operation and receive the sum OF
one hundred and twenty-five millions
In gold. payable in installments, as the
work progressed.
At first the money came promptly.
then Peru was forced TO borrow to
meet the Meiggs contract, and finally
when European loans could not be ef-
fected Meiggs accepted the obliga-
tions of the Peruvian government un.
til he practically owned the republic.
Even the assassination of his friend.
Colonel Balta, then president OF Peru,
failed to interfere with the railway
plans.
Finally Peru could do no more. and
Meiggs' own fortune was tied UP in
the building of the railways. SO for
lack Of money the work was stopped.
Negotiations for further loan from
Europe, with Meiggs' assistance. were
almost consummated when in 1877
death cut off the most remarkable
career of any Yankee in South Amer
lea. With his death the loan negotia-
tions failed, and then followed Peru's
unfortunate war with Chile. Until
1884 the Neiggs railway operations
slumbered. In that year when peace
came to the two republics the firm Of
w. r. Grace & company took up the
Meiggs contract and the work has
since been pushed intermittently.
In spite of his success. Meiggs never
revisited the state of California. His
trials there seemed to have created in
him an aversion for the place. Even
a resolution passed by the California
legislature asking him to return.

One of the pecularities which char

his course was shaped he never

His personality was most attractive.

to have struck the popular fancy Of the theater,

they are giving the people what they want, large
