MANILA, soAkarch Disappointment
among Ameroafpi business men here with
the limitations M the Spooner amendment
to the army bill Is increasing as its pro-
visions become better known. It is consid-
cred to be espeeAaly unfortunate in appar-
entity prohibiting the issuing Of licenses for
1.-The cutting of timber upon public lands.
II this Interpretation, proves correct it will
be bonanza for the few owners of private
lands In these Islands, and the beginning
OF building activity in all towns will be
considerably retarded. LOTT. 81
An inquiry has been cabled to Washing
ton asking whether this prohibition Of tim
Der cutting is to be construed as included
In the amendment. The forestry depart
ment of the Philippines has hitherto issued
licenses for the cutting of timber upon
public lands for one year.
The question Of the sales and apporton-
ments of lands and mining rights. although
Importantly affecting the growth of bust
ness and the settlement of Americans in
the Philippines. can wait until the regular
session Of Congress-, but lumber Is in such
great demand today for building purposes
that 1t would be considered most unfortu-
nate should the control Of it's production be
vested in those few men who now own
timber land.
There is some talk here of sending
OF Congress. but the fear is general, how
ever, among a certain element. that this
action might not result in any material
good. ,ss7.e- So z-s-
Regret is expressed here at the fact that
Congress does not ittrust the timber, min
Ing and land questions to the discretion OF

SECRETARY IS READY.
Letter Respecting Exchange for Land
for Asylum Purposes.


for Asylum Purposes.
The Secretary Of the Interior addressed a
letter today to A. E. Randle of Congress
Heights In the matter of the proposed ex-
change of land provided for In the sundry
civil appropriation bill. The sundry civil
bill. as reported to the House of Represen-
tatives, contained provision for the pur-
chase of the woodland to the south Of St.
Elizabeth's Hospital, but this was stricken
out in the House. Mr.. Randle contended
that should buildings for occupancy by in
sane persons be erected on the east side Of
Nichols avenue 1t would depreciate the
value of property in the village of Congress
Heights and adjacent territory. because
persons travelling between Congress Heights
and Washington would pass the hospital
buildings on either side of the roadway.
To meet Mr.. Randle's contention an amend
ment was made to the bill in the Senate and
agreed to in conference authorizing the Sec
rotary to exchange with Mr.. Randle land
on the east for the same number of acres
on the west of the street. The letter sent
by Secretary Hitchcock today informs Mr.
Randle that the Department of the Interior
is ready to make the exchange

FRENCH RECIPROCITY TREATY.

for Ratification.

Arrangements have been made for the
signing OF a protocol at the State Depart

by which the life Of the French reciprocity
treaty will be further extended for one year
from the oath instant. A former protocol
extended the instrument up to that date,
and since the French government has now
expressed desire to have a further extern
sion. new protocol is necessary. This will
probably be transmitted to the Senate be-
fore it adjourns. and. although the extern
sion will be operative without Senate ap-
prevail, 1t may receive the concurrence OF
that body as an assurance to the French
authorities that the treaty has not entirely
lapsed. The French government Is the only
one which has signified the desire UP to this
time to have its reciprocity treaty prolonged

Efficacy of Fire DriIIs.

Another instance OF the great value Of q
fire drill in public schools was given the
other day In one of New York's great ward
schools. when 2,500 children marched out
OF the burning school building without the
least disorder and without injury to even
the smallest child. This was achieved be-
cause of the efficiency and frequency Of the
drill. Every child had formed the habit of
obeying the signal with almost automatic
precision. They had done this so often
simply as matter Of drill that when the
building really was on fire this habit stood
them in good stead. as the result showed.
We are not informed as to the frequency of
fire drills in the ST. Joseph schools. but Il Is
a matter which should never be neglected
