TIMBER LAWS
ARE SERIOUS
ALL PHILIPPINE TIMBER on
PUBLIC LAND.
NO PROVISION FOR CUTTING
CANNOT CUT A SINGLE TREE FOR
WOOD OR BUILDING, ACCORD
ING TO LAW.

New York. March pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Serious embarrassment has been caused
the administration and the development
OF the Philippines has been retarded by
the legislation prohibiting the cutting OF
timber on the public lands of the archi-
pelago. AS the forests are on public
lands, the government under strict
Interpretation OF the law, will be unable
to authorize the telling of a tree to pro-
vide planks necessary for the construc-
tion of a new house or the repairing OF
an old one. If gunboat We're to lose
spar and her commander desired to re-
place it, he could not take it from the
public lands without violating the law.
Not only is the sale or lease of timber
prohibited, but the sale or lease or other
disposition of public lands and the grant
ing Of mining rights are made illegal
The legislation was directly contrary
to the wishes of the president and Secre-
tary Root, who are convinced that in
order to promptly develop the islands
the introduction of American capital is
necessary. Secretary Root does not be-
lieve that congress intends to curtail the
and 1T is believed he will hold that the
president is authorized to grant forestry
concession.
Capt. G. p. Ahern, 9th infantry, who
has had charge of the forestry bureau of
the Philippines, reports that public forest
lands comprise from one-fourth to one
half of the area of the Philippines, or
from twenty to forty million acres.

Tooe approved the last bill in his hands
yesterday, the last day allowed by the
constitution for him to act. 1t was
house bill 27. defining navigab,e streams,
and declaring Them public highways. He
will now devote his attention to appoint
ments to the remaining offices.
The principal of these is state game
warden, in regard to which he is embar-
rassed by a multiplicity of candidates.
Nearly every old hunter in the state
thinks he is most competent to chase
down law breakers. The principal cam
didates are r. A. Wagner of Bozeman,
who also has served for two years with
out compensation while member OF tine
state fish and game commission; A. W..
Orton, of Bozeman, who was a candidate
for sergeant at arms of the house; and
Wm Muth, of Helena, who is endorsed
by the Helena division fish and game as
EOciation.
The state coal mine inspector is also to
be appointed, but it is difficult to find a
fit man, as the law requires ten years
practical experience in coal mines and a
dip from college of mining engin-
eerlng. Such men are considered worth
more than $4,000 year, the salary pro-
vided by the state.
The me embers of the state board of
health and state board of Osteopathy are
also to be appointed.

New York. March pa despatch to
the Herald from Brussels says:
Mr.. William George Emmanuel a
negro, born in the British Antilles of
Congo parents, has just arrived at Ant
werp, en- route for Brussels, where he
hopes to obtain an audience with King
Leopold. He is delegate from $4,000
negroes of Congo origin, who were taken
to Cuba as slaves and who have since
been liberated. They now desire to re-
turn to the Congo states as independent
citizens and establish settlements Of
their own. They do not want to become
Cuban citizens and have delegated Mr..
Emmanuel to ask the king of Belgium
to have them taken back to their native
country.
Immediately on landing in Europe, Mr..
Emmanuel wrote a letter to the secretary
of state for Congo, informing him of the
object of his voyage. If Mr.. Emmanuel
obtains concession from the king, the
$4,000 negroes whom he represents will
cultivate plantations of tobacco rubber.

FUNSTON is ON HIS TRAIL
BRAVE KANsAN WILL GIVE HIM
A MERRY CHASE IN HIS
HIDING PLACE.
CLEVER RUSE LIKELY TO WIN
Americans Pass Themselves off as Cap
tives Until They Can Lay Hands
on the Rebel Chief.

Manila, March 23.-General Funston Ia
promises to be the greatest and most
| romantic achievement of his eventful
career. In January, from his hiding
place in the province of Isabella, Aguin-
aldo issued letters anathemzing the
sub-chiefs who had taken the oath Of
allegiance to the United States. Later,
Aguinaldo ordered the insurgent forces
in Southern Luzon to join him at rem
devious in Isabella province. The rebel
officer entrusted with these orders Sc
cretly negotiated with the Americans.
On securing information, General Fun
ston planned Aguinaldo's capture ana,
with General MacArthurs authorization,
General Funston proceeded two weeks
ago to make the attempt. General Fun
ston, with Surgeon Major Harris. Cap
tain Newton of the Thirty fourth In.
fantry, Lieutenant Adaire of the Twen-
ty-secoEd infantry, Lieutenant Mitchell
of the Fortieth infantry, six veteran
scouts and a company of native
scouts, all picked men, embarked on
the gunboat Niclsburg, and were
landed on a remote beach above
Baler. 1t was arranged that Asuln-
aldo's emissary, with the native scouts,
should pass themselves off as insurgent
troops, who, having captured Gen. Fun
ston and others, were taking them as
prisoners TO Aguinado. At the right
time, when, brought before Aguinaldo,
Gen. Funston was to give a signal, the
tables were to be turned and AguinaldO
was to be seized. Six days march into
the interior was contemplated. 1reach-
cry was considered possible, but every
precaution was taken. The troops in
New Niscaya and New Eciji and the
gunboats Vicksburg and Albany were
TO cooperate with Gen. Funston's force.

PEACE SPREADING RAPIDLY

New York, March 23.-A special to the
Press from Washington says:
Advices from the Philippines are so
encourag ging for peace that the war de-
partment is considering the advisa bility
of reducing the garrisons in the archi-
pelago. The reorganized army will be
recruited to the full strength Of 100000
but 1T is believed that future require
ments will not compel the administra-
ton to maintain this maximum.
About 10000 regulars will be entitled
to their discharges in the current year
II is proposed to let these soldiers re-
turn to their homes and to not fill their
places. Thus the army can be reduced
to 10000 men in a perfectly natural way
without interfering with it's discipline
or effectiveness.

MURDER AMI SUICIDE.
Mystery of Young Widows Dis
appearance From Atlanta Re-
YeaIed In Bloody Tragedy.

An Atlanta dispatch says: The dead
bodies of Mrs. H. NJ. Wilson, a young
widow, and William Hamilton, who
mysteriously disappeared from the
city over a week ago, were found Sun
day evening about a mile from the
bridge over the Chat!ahoochee river
in Cobb county.
Near the body of the woman was
her murderer, William Hamilton. The
man had killed the woman and then
himself.
Before he met dea!h Hamilton evil
dently set fire to the woods near the
place where the bodies we're found. as
both were fearfully burned.
The finding of the bodies gave the
solution of the mystery that has been
ve1ing the detective department and
msking frantic with grief the relatives
of the couple since their sudden disap-
pearance. It has resulted in the total
prostration of the mother of Mrs. Will
SOD, and leaving an orphan, sweet
little girl of seven.
The bodies were found by two little
negro boys about $50 yards from the
road crossing Cbattahoochee river near
some old breast works, half a mile
from the bridge
The body of Mrs. Wilson lay near
that of Hamilton and through her
right temple was hole made by a bell
from 80 calibre pistol which sent her
soul to eternity. Her features were
distorted and her body charred and
burned almost beyond recognition.
The left foot was burned entirely away,
all her hair was burned of, one hand
was charred and but little remained of
the clothing she had worn when she
left home.
Hamilton lay with a hole entirely
through his head. made by a ball
which entered two inches above the
right ear and plowed its way through
the brain. His clothing was also badly
burned and the disturbed leaves and
growth near the place where the bodies
were found proved that death came
after struggle.
A32-caliber revolver of the Smith &
Wesson type lay near the right hand
of Hamilton. Three of its chambers
were emptisd, and this circumstance
told the story of the murder and sui
