DUCHESS OF ALBANY.
"A Silly Mission.

Rev DR.. George c. Lorimer of Bos-
ton Is in London. He is the sensation
al pastor Of fremont Temple when he
ture of many, with politics thrown in
as a side line. Since reaching Eng
land he has found, to his dismay, that
considerable number of the clergy
men are not only opposed to the Boer
war but publicly avow such opposition.
To the 1-orimer mind this is rebel
lious, un Christian, indecent He is
SO deeply offended that he is going to
take the rostrum and spend the next
two months denouncing these clergy
men in case he fails to convert them
1t will be interesting to know how
many converts the doctor will make
among this class. Naturally they will
resent the presence Of a foreigner who
comes to abuse them II they do not fall
into line with his suggestions; again
1t will strike them as queer that the
United States, which so generally has
sympathized with the Beers, should
furnish a clergyman to misrepresent
his countrymen at the seat of British
power and to traduce those who. from
a sense of Justice, feel impelled to take
issue with their government because
they believe 1t to be in the wrong. Mr..
Lorimer would have these men act
contrary to the dictates of their con-
sciences in considering the war-and
support 1t blindly. He has strange
conception of English character. which
is nothing II not candid and fearless OF
consequences, when it comes to deter
mining public questions.
Americans repudiate Lorimer and
his mission. They sympathize with
the Beers and all the believing Of the
Boston preacher cannot change this
sentiment. They respect the English
clergy who have the courage to record
their opposition to the unequal strug-
gle in South Africa and feel that men
of this stamp have nothing to fear at
the hands of the Massachusetts, ranter
who represents only himself in the
self-arpointed, cheeky and undemo-
cratic mission he has undertaken.

Delay ms to Forest Reserves.

In II 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, so as to provide that lands
taken in lieu of tracts within reserves
shall not only be surveyed and open
to entry, but the tracts SO selected shall
be of the same area and approximately
of the same value as 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
orado 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 We're pending for the creation of
reserves aggrcgating 40000,0OO acres in
August. which under the present law
he would not undertake.

To Stop Land Frauds,

The general land office is determined,
as far rs possible. to stamp out the
fraudulent acquisition of public lands
under the timber and stone act, an
abuse which is growing rapidly of late
and which has been brought to public
attention in Montana and Idaho, where
legal proceedings are being taken
against n large number of parties
The practice has been for rich indi-
viduals and corporations to hire GER
tain individuals to make entries under
the timber and stone act. of rich tim
Der lands. making the entry of course
in their own name. The law requires
that such entries shall be made by Il
person, who must declare his intention
to use the same for his own personal
benefits and who is sworn to have no
intention of selling his rights when
once finally acquired.
The local land officers have not al
ways been altogether fair in their deal
ings with such individuals or prospec-
tive settlers, that is, fair TO the govern
ment. Some have been delinquent
from oversight, others from design.
The matter was carried on to such an
extent, however, that the department
was forced to take cognizance of the
abuses, and as n result instructions
to all local land officers intended to pre-
vent further abuses of the timber act.
The local officers have been instructed
to carefully and thoroughly examine all
claimants and witnesses under the
timber and stone acts. The department
believes that large number of entries
which have been made in many states
under these acts We're not made i'll
good faith for the exclusive use of the
entryman, but i'll the interest of spec
ulators, who procured the entries when
completed.
The department is now anxious 10
put stop to these practices, if possi-
bic. and punish the promoters of such
fraudulent entries. Each cntryman
who swears he is making an entry in
his own interest and turns about sell
ing his entry to another, perjures him
self, and is liable to conviction.
Local officers have been directed ia
issue no final certificate in any case
unless the proof submitted is positively
satisfactory in every particular and
they are convinced beyond Il reasona
BILE doubt that the entry is made in alb
solute good faith for the exclusive ben
eft of the entryman, and the re1uire-
ments of the law have been actually
and fully complied with. In every
case where the local officers are not
convinced by evidence or through act
ual knowledge that the claimant is
acting in good faith, or where they
have presumptive evidence, reliable in
formation. or good reason TO believe
that the entry is fraudulent collusive
or Illegal, they are TO receive proof but
suspend action thereon and transmit
the same to the general land office with
their opinion in the case. The general
land office will not be satisfied with
any evidence taken i'll a perfunctory
way. The law requires that all road
cross examinations will be made by an
attesting officer to further test the
good faith of claimants and witnesses.
No entry is to he allowed on the tesu-
mony of the entryman alone.

Paris.

1t is said that London fnanciers
take the projected continental boycott
of American goods seriously, and that
some of them are inclined to believe
that England should take part in it.
Their view is that the menace of Amer
lea is not merely matter of trade. They
profess to regard the question from a
highly moral standpoint. They say 1t is
no advantage to the world that a great
nation should dominate 1t with ideals Into
which, they allege, nothing except money
can enter and with system of govern
ment In which money is the controlling
power. The ideals of Europe have ever
been higher than that. and to drop to
the American standard would be fatal
error.
Sad. isn't it? The United States Is
the only country which has engaged
in war within the last forty years
from any but selfish motives. Its res
cue of the Cubans was the only piece
Of pure knight-errantry seen in that
time. Europe allowed the Armenians
to be tortured and massacred because
no European power could trust the
others where there was plunder in
sight For the same reason Europe
permitted the Sultan to trample on the
Greeks. England is engaged at pres
ent in stamping the life out of two
little republics for their gold mines.
Americans have the knack of getting
money, but they part with it more Law
ishly than any other people in the
world They help to support the i'm
pecunious aristocracy of Europe,
which is willing to barter its soul for
American dollars. Mr.. Frederic Harri-
son said that the impression produced
upon him by Americas educational re-
sources was that their volume was at
least ten times that of the resources
devoted to the same purpose in Eng
land. More money is given away for
education every year in America than
in all Europe in ten years. In Amer
lea money is often priced as a means
to noble ends; in Europe it is sought
for selfish enjoyment Above all, ro-
nance still survives in America, and
marriages are still made for love
When people in Europe cease to sell
themselves into matrimony they may
talk about their ideals" and depre-
cate the error of dropping to the
American standard"

SHAMROCK SECOND

Gourock, July 29-The Shamrock

New York. Great enthusiasm was dis
played as the challenger departed.
Captain Sycamore desired to go out
under canvas and he was favored with
light easterly wind, sufficient to keep
the flags. streaming in the direction
the yachts had to sail The challenger
cut strange figure with her stunted
spars and scanty canvas as she lay
ready to start.
All 10 o'clock Sir Thomas Upton and
Mr. Watson, the yachts designer,
boarded her and few minutes later
the challenger's moorngs We're slipped,
her headsails broken out and the
Shamrock III. started on her voyage
across the Atlantic. Thousands of
people gathered along the shore and
on the pier at Gourock and greeted
the yachts departure with great
outburst of cheering, again and agaIn
renewed. RatS and handkerchiefs
were waved. guns saluted and steam
whistles and sirens shrieked.
The Shamrocks crew were all mus
tered on deck and. led by Sir Thomas,
gave hearty response to the greet
ings. For miles along the shore crowds
oceupicd every VantaSe point ana the
cheers passed from group to group.
until the challenger with her racing
flag at the masthead. and the Erin,
with the Stars and Stripes flying ut
her fore. disappeared from sight.
Sir Thomas Upton remained aboard
the challenger until she was off Cum
bras. when he returned on Il tug. Be-
fore leaving he addressed the challen-
gers crew, thanking them for what
they had done already and wishing
them God speed on the voyage and II
successful finish to their task.

bles the news of the first surrender of
Insurgents in the island of Samar, 500
men, with two field guns, thirty rifles
and seventy bolos, giving themselves
up to the American authorities.
The opinion prevails among the Unit
ed States officers that it will take years
10 accomplish the economic program of
General Corbin. The civil and educa-
tional authorities hold that n continu-
ance of the protection over minor posts
is necessary, aside from that afforded
by the constabulary. 1t is generally
expected that the concentration will be
more gradual than is anticipated in
Washington.

All Land Proofs Suspended.

| On account of timber land frauds
discovered in Montana and Idaho,
| Commissioner Herman of the General
Land Office. has suspended all proofs
| made during the present year under
| the timber and stone act, pending con-
clusion 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
spectators, it is alleged have had
dummies" as agents make purchases
of these lands from the government.
Commissioner Hermann says:
lowing to the last act of Congress
permitting selections of valuable tim
Der lands as indemnity for lands held
by individuals and corporations within
forest reserves, Il speculation in so-call-
ed forest reserve scrip has developed.
This is a means by which the owner
of such lands within forest reserves
may relinquish them to the govern
ment and in lieu thereof. take unap-
propriated 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-
lntors and extensive mining companies
in the requirement of large tracts of
timber lands This has induced many
others who are not owners of such
scrip or eXchangeable lands inside for
est reserves to avail themselves of an
earlier act of Congress, approved June
3. 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 made in good faith
for his exclusive use and that he has
made no agreement whatsoever with
any person for the transfer of his title.
For many years, particularly the past
year, this law has been grossly violated
and abused by persons who perjurc
themselves before the local land Offices.
The general land office has directed its
special agents TO report on any FUR
ther cases that may be 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 NJ 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. il is impossi-
Bile for the authorities here to detect

and most eminently gratifying to the
department at Washington. The aged
consul was born at Gibraltar, Aug IL
1923. His father was a Bostonian,
who settled in the great fortress town
soon after the war of 1872 and became
a permanent resident. In 1S45 young
Sprague was made consul and re-
mained in that office for fifty-three
years. He served under fourteen pres
idents and personally entertained
three Of them who visited Gibraltar
after leaving the White House. These
were Fillmore, Pierce and urant. The
consul was warm friend of Admiral
Dewey and when the hero of Manila
stopped at the Rock on his way home
Mr.. Sprague took charge of him for
a time and Hospitality entertained the
famous sailor. During the war of the
rebellion Mr.. Sprague was in a most
delicate position, but he carried it off
with great credit to himself and to
the cause of the North. In the late
Spanish war he was placed in even a
more exacting situation, but he met 1t
capably and we'll. Although he had
visited this country but once he was a

the piano as an orchestra now if he
would expect to win a name II music.
No longer do you sit down to he piano

tirely pianistic; you are expected to

grand, magnificent, imposing. like
the buildings at an exposition; they
look for wonderful things nowadays"
