prospects of the Yukon territory.
The total yield of gold last year in

The Judge Advocate General of the
Navy has decided that members of the
District National Guard who are en-
ploycd at the navy yard in this city are
entitled to full pay and no loss in time
while absent a the annual encampmen:
at Leesburg. The decision was rem
dered upon the request for information
by the superintendent OF the gun fac
tory, where several of the men were
employed.
The specific question asked is whether

INTERFERING IN CAMPAIGN.
Investigation Made of Charge Against
Colored Employees of Baltimore
PostOffice.

Mr.. John J. Howley. chief clerk Of the
office of the First Assistant Postmaster
General went to Baltimore yesterday.
where he has been detailed by First
Assistant Postmaster General Wynne to
investigate charges which were filed by
prominent Baltimore people against sew
eral coiored employees of the postoffice
in that cit..
The employees in question are accused
of interfering in the Congressional
campaign by using their positions to
further the interests OF certain candi-
dates. The charges have been verbal.
but WEI brought to the attention OF the
department in such manner as to make
it necessary to take cognizance Of them.
The postal laws and regulations do
not prevent or prohibit postal employees
from exercising the political privileges
of American citizens, but they do re-
strain them from using their official
positions to interfere in elections or
control political movements.

PnEUMAr!caTUBEs ARE
NOT FOR WASHINGTON
After Selected Six Cities Are Provided
There Will Be Little
Money Left.

1t looks now as though this city were
not to receive the benefits of a pneu-
matte tube service for the facilitation
of the mails. The bids for the insta la
tion of the service in the various cities
have been investigated and analyzed
and this fact disclosed the improbability
of tIts city receiving the service.
Mr.. W. S. shallenberger. Second AS
sistant Postmaster General, under whom
the contracts for supplying pneumatic
tube service will be awarded, hoped to
secure from the appropriation made by
cities designated BY the committee ap-
pointed 10 report on localities where
conditions favored the use Of penumatic
tubes with the greatest economy, but
also this city.
The committee was given a list of
eleven cities from whichsto select six
which offered the greatest opportunity
for pneumatic tube service. Washing
ton was one of the eleven, but was not
one OF the six selected. Congress au-
thorized an expenditure of $500, 600 to
the vice III THESE cities. and
appropriated $500, 600 to begin the work.
Mr.. Shallenberger hoped that the bids
would be within such a limit of cost as
to permit hili' TO install a system in this
city as well as other places specified.
1t was believed that the contracting
parties would endeayor to include this
city also, as pneumatic tube service
here would be under the eye of Con-
gress. people from all parts of the world
and vast number of visitors, who
would be educated in its benefits.
1t was thought they would be anxious
to establish this object lesson at the
Capital. The bids that have been re-
ceived have been carefully looked into.
and it is not believed any money will
be left over from the authorized amount
Of $S00,O0 1t is possible that a further
consideration of the question may re-
suit in rejection Of ell bids that are
now in the possession of the Postoflice
Department and a reimbursement for
bids

SECRETARY WILSON
VISITS FOREST LANDS
Deplores Rapid Disappear
anceof the Pine Timber.
Believes That the Stump Lands Would
Raise Sugar Beets and Prove
Valuable.

| A new problem has been presented tc
| the Agricultural Department for solution
relating to the rapidly disappearing pine
forests of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Min
nesota. The Secretary of Agriculture
Mr.. Wilson, recently made trip through
the Middle and Northwestern States
where he was forcibly impressed with
the denudation of the forest lands. He
| describes the stump land in these States
as "a desolation and a Wilderness" but
announces his intention of Immediately
setting his experts at work to determine
the varieties OF grains. grasses, and
legumes best adapted to the conversion
of these lands into productive farms
The problem is unlike any heretofore
presented. for the reason that both soil
those prevailing in other sections of the
country. The Secretary believes they
more nearly approximate the conditions
governing Danish agriculture than any
other portion of this country The an
nual rainfall is % inches, while dense
fogs which float inland from the Great
duu " tnt dNdlldDle IUT
plant growth. The soil is strong in veg
etable food and is largely permeated
with iron, which renders the clays a
deep red. The Secretary will detail sci
entists from the department to examine
the soil. and will probably send others
to Denmark and Norway to make OBJ
servations of agriculture under similar
physical conditions.
Is Being Settled.
At the present time large numbers of
Finlanders and Scandinavians are set
Ting in the district referred to. which
the Secretary estimates to equal In area
the State OF New York There is also
a sufficient number of American settlers
to teach the principles OF self-govern-
ment to their neigtbors.
One OF the peculiar features of the
situation is the necessity of immediate
attention being turned to again building
up the forests. with view to providing
fuel. fencing, lumber, etc.. for the set
tiers.
Mr.. Wilson predicts that this section
will become great stock and dairy cen
ter and that the land will yield hand
some returns when devoted TO the cul-
ture of sugar beets. He says that, in
time. the beet sugar produced from this
vicinity alone will equal the present out
put CT the entire country. and that the
residue. or beet pulp. will be fed to large
herds of dairy cattle.
Referring to agricultural conditions in
the West, Mr.. Wilson says he never be-
fore saw such bOuntful crops: that the
isolated instances OF crops drowned out
by too copious rains would not mate
rally alter the general percentage.

The recent so-called maneuvers be-
tween the three slow boats under the
command of Commander Pillsbury and
the large. we'll equipped and rapid fleet
of Admiral Higginson is ridiculed il
private by officers of the navy on duty
| in this city. None of them is willing

the slightest chance in getting into
Salem or any other harbor guarded by
| the vessels under the command of Ad
miral Higginson. officers point to the
as any power at war with this country
would surely have faster and better
vessels than those under the command
of Pillsbury.
Notwithstanding, interest in the
combined army and navy maneuvers.
which are scheduled to begin on Friday
of this week, is not tagging. An at
tempt will then be made by the strong
and powerful feet under the command
of Rear Admiral Higgirson TO run the
gantlet of the forts at the eastern end
of Long Island Sound and establish a
military base. The navy has little hope
of winning the contest, and will depend
largely upon strategy for success. Con.
siderable rivalry is shown between the
two services as ne time approaches for
the maneuvers to start.
Fleet of Fifteen Ships.
Admiral Higginson will have about ff-
teen ships under his command-the
Kearsarge. Alabama, Massachusetts,,
Indiana. Puritan. Brooklyn. Olympia,
Cincinnati, Panther, Montgomery, May
flower. Topeka. Gloucester, Scorpion,
and Prairie.
With the Kearsarge, Alabama, Massa-
chusetts, and Indiana, the Puritan is
included for the purpose Of operations
as a battleshlp. The Brooklyn is the |
only vessel that ranks as an armored !
cruiser, while the Olympia. Cincinnati, |
and Panther are in the protected cruiser |
class; the Montgomery, Mayhower and |
Topeka are unprotected cruisers, and the |
Gloucester Scorpion. and Prairie are |
gunboats. Torpedo boats are excluded |
from both sides.
Will Be No Floating Defenses.
The forts that will be called upon to
defend the eastern end of the sound are |
Forts Rodman. Adams, Wetherill, Gre
BILE. Mansfield. Wright, Niche, Terry, |
and the fort on Gardeners Point. There
will be no floating defenses.
The army believes that it Will have
no difficulty in repulsing. the invaders.
