boundaries of many Of these reserves
are in controversy only such re-
serves are TO be transferred as the
secretary Of the interior and the di-
rector Of the geological survey viii
certify to have had their boundaries
substantially settled. The president
is to be authorized to set apart such
forest reserves or parts thereof as he
may deem proper FOR fish and game
preserves, but IL the reserve is who'll
ly in one state the president shall
not make such order until the gov
ernor OF the state shall in writing
ask for It, In the territories he can
create such game preserve without
the action Of the governor Of the
territory The purpose of this was
to avoid forcing any Of these pre-
serves on states where they were
not wanted by the local authorities
The bill provides that the depart
ment Of the interior or Of agricul-
ture, as the case may be, having
such game preserve in its control
may make all regulations necessary
for game protection therein Such
regulations shall have the force, and
effect Of law, and a violation of
them will he a misdemeanor. All
nets, tackle, guns, ETC., used in vic
lation of the law in one of these pre-
serves will be forfeited on convic
ton Of the party using the same. It
also provides that forest officers
may arrest without warrant persons
found violating the law in preserves.
The reason for making the transfer
to the department of agriculture is
because that department. can better
administer the permanent forest re
serves than the department of the
interior. The traditions aud the or
ganization of the department. of the
interior in relation to the public
lands has in view the disposition Of
the lands, their sale and transfer to
private parties. The secretary Of
agriculture has a fully equipped bu.
reau of forestry and is better pre-
pared to administer these reserves
than the department in which they
are now situated, but It was thought
best in framing the bill not to pro-
vide for the transfer of any of the
preserves except such as have had
their boundaries definitely establish
ed. The secretary of the interior
settles more questions of private
right in amount and value in one
year than the supreme court of the
United States does in ten years.
That department is overloaded with
work and when one of these re-
serves is definitely located and es-
tablished as a permanent reserve
the president and both secretaries
believe that the department of agri-
culture should have it to care for"

The ways and means committee
has determined upon the abolition
of the special war taxes and the

the members of the committee in a
wrong light before the people
When asked for an interview on the
subject Chairman Payne handed to
your correspondent a statement
which is too long for reproduction
here, but which says in part that
the committee had no Thought Of
disposing of the Cuban question by
reporting in favor of the reduction
Of the war taxes. that the commit
tee had had no conference on the
Cuban matter. and thPt "the bill to
reduce war revenue taxes was taken
mp because it was the sentiment Of
the committee that the burdens
resting upon our own people should
be hghtened before we turned our
attention TO tightening the burden of
other people. Mr. Payne further
assures me that the Cuban matter
will receive full and careful consid.

Senator Cullom recently delivered
a speech setting forth his views in
regard to the treaty making powers
Of the senate and the executive in
which he claimed that tue provision
in the Dingley bill relating to trea-
ties was unconstitutional because it
had tendency to limit the powers
conferred on the senate by the con
stitution. An attempt was made
by Mr. Richardson, the democratic
leader in the house, to make trouble
between the senate and the house IN
regard to this matter by the ap-
pointment of a committee to in
vestigate the powers of the senate,
but the superior Judgment of the
republican leaders prevailed.
