miles OF lumber land in Canada. the pur-
chaser being ferguson & McFadden, of
Renfrew, Ont. The price is $4,000. The
reason for the sale of this immense tract
is supposed to be the fear OF retaliation

day, because We did not think We could

stood the 81 tax, but the 81 they would

on this restriction, prohibiting The export

Making 1t Warm for Evans.-The

troubles of the Hon. II. Clay Evans seem
to be multiplying faster than he can keep
count of them. He has just emerged from
blood andhar scrimmage in Tennessee
to be confronted with fresh outbreak of
his old difficulty with the G. a. X. 1t is
known that BY. only the most careful
manipulation we're the veterans prevented
from demanding Mr.. Evans removal f. ON
the office of Commissioner If Pensions at
their annual encampment in Philadelphia
last summer. The Administration. 1t is
said. used all of its powers to avert the
adoption Of a resolution embodying this
demand. Since then the Hon. Webster
Davis has been driven from the enviable
position Of Assistant Secretary of the In
terror by the influence of Commissioner
Evens in that Department. and 1t appears
! that Mr. Davis has been quietly letting
the veterans know that it was because he
insisted upon protecting their interests
that he became persona non grfta in Adj
ministration circles. During the past week
General Shaw, Commander-in-C Chief of TIE
G. a. R.. has been camping in Washing

the sole purpose OF his presence here is to
impress upon the President the Importance
of getting rid OF Mr.. Evans The state
ment is made upon authority that usually
is considered reliable that Commissioner
Evans nearly week ago sent his resigna-

most directly concerned stoutly denies this,
but the statement nevertheless continues

peace. and never more so than at the pres
