WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

The President has granted q pardon
to John +. johnson, former president
of the State National bank of Logans-
port, Indiana, convicted of misapprO-
priating funds of the bank and other
violations of the national banking
act and sentenced to ten years In the
penitentiary. He had served five years.
Mr.. Russell. the United States
charge Of legation at Caracas, cables
the State Department that the status
Of the asphalt cases Is practiclly un-
changed. He says a strong move was
made by a local judge to put the War
ner-Quinlan claimants In possession Of
the asphalt lake, but this judge was
superseded and the Bermudez COM
pany remains In possession.
The State Department has received
. note from the Italian embassy at
Washington inclosing a letter from
the mayor Of Turin to President Nc
Kinley expressing the hope that artists
and manufacturers from the United
States will take part in the interna-
tonal exposition OF modern decorative
art, to be held in Turin in 1902 under
the patronage Of the King of Italy.
Whatever else may be said OF the
American army, 1t must be admitted
that this government treats its soldiers
better than any nation in the world.
1t expends more for their food, more
for their clothing, and more for their
medical attendance and other necessi-
ties and comforts than any one of the
powers of Europe. An interesting
statement bringing out this fact was
recently published in n report Of the
War Department, showing the effect
iveness. cost per year, and cost Of
one soldier per year in the armies Of
the leading powers Of the world. The
army of the United States, though the
smalles; in numbers, was proportion
ately the most costly of all, and hs
aggregate cost was well up to that
OF armies Of Germany. France and
Russia, which were from eight to ten
times as large. The cost of one SOL
dier for a year in the several cOun-
tries Is as follows: Italy 223:
Austria, $19453: Germany, sol. 80;
France. <197.65; Russia, $150.73;

| On account Of timber land fraud.
discovered In Montana and Idaho
Commissioner Herman Of the Genera
Land once. has suspended all proofs
made during the present year under
| the timber and stone act. pending con
ciusion OF the full Investigation and
| inquiry begun some time ago.
This action applies to all states
| where government timber land is pur.
| chased. and involves many thousands
| of cases. Many large companies and
speculators, 1t Is alleged have had
dummies" as agents make purchases
of these lands from the government.
Commissioner Hermann says:
Owing to the last act of Congress
permitting selections of valuable tim
ber lantls As indemnity for lands held
by individuals and corporations within
forest reserves, n speculation in social
ed forest reserve scrip has developed.
This IL q means by which the owner
of such lands within forest reserves
may rellnQuish them to the govern
ment and In lieu thereof. take unap-
proprtated lands out Of the public do
main. or may convey his holdings to
another person seeking to exercise the
right OF selection. This provision has
produced great rivalry among specu-
lators and extensive mining companies
in the acQuirement OF large tracts OF
timber lands. This has induced many
Others who are not owners of such
scrip or exchrngeable lands inside for
est reserves to avail themselves Of an
earlier act Of Congress, approved June
Z, 1878, the timber and stone act.
This act limits each purchaser to 1G0
acres, and expressly requires appli-
cants to swear that the purchase is not
speculative. but is ifnldc In good faith
for his exclusive use, and that he has
made no ent'lwhatsoever with
any person for the transfer of his title.
For many years. pa&icularly the past
year. this law has hctn grossly violated
and abused by persons who perjure
themselves before tha local land offices.
The general land office has directed its
special agents 10 report on any fur
ticr cases that may n discovered. and
all land offices have been warned TO
exercise the utmost strictness in the
examination OF parties and witnesses.
Many OF the fraudulent proofs might
have been detected at the time had the
registrars and receivers at the local
land offices strictly applied the rules
for scrutiny Of proofs of applicants.
After such proofs have passed the local
officers, showing regularity and appar-
ent good faith OF entries, It II impossi-
BILE for the authorities here to detect
error o. fraud"

Delay .. to ror.,t n...rv.., -.

In letter to the secretary OF the In
terror, the commissioner Of the general
land office states that he will recon-
mend the creation Of no more forest
reservations until the law governing
lieu land selections has been materially
amended. no as to provide that lands
taken In lieu OF tracts within reserves
shall not only be surveyed and open
to entry, but the tracts 30 selected shall
be Of the same area and approximately
OF the same value us the relinquished
tracts.
The secretary entertains similar
views on this general proposition.
There is therefore little probability that
any more reserves will be created until
Congress acts. This means that NO
action Is to be taken with regard to the
proposed Medicine Bow reserve in Col
orndo and Wyoming. This attitude OF
the secretary and commissioner ex-
plains the long silence with regard to
this proposition and is the real cause
for inaction.
The secretary has endorsed the action
OF the commissioner. saying applica-
tions were pending for the creation OF
reserves aggregating 10000. 600 acres in
August. which under the present law
he would not undertake.

The opinion prevails among the Unit
