FAY0RS THE MORRIS BILL
CHIEF FIRE WARDEN ANDREWS
Thinks 1t Will Do Much for Forestry
Summary of BilIs Pro-
visions. as

General C.. G. Andrews, chief fire warden
and secretary of the state forestry board,
favors the passage of the Morris compro-
mise for the opening Of the Chippewa In
dian reservations to homestead settlement.
OF the bill he says: r..
While the. bill mostly disspates the idea
of holding practically intact splendid nat
ural pine forest, it nevertheless makes some
very important concessions for forestry, and
with an amendment in the interest of the In
dams which, l am informed, has been pre-
pared, accept the bill as compromise and
will support it; provided, it be passed at the
present session of congress. Under the pro-
visions of this bill and of the act Of Jan. II,
1889, which it amends, any agricultural lands
in the reservations shall within four months
be opened to homestead settlement at SIP
per acre. to be paid in five equal payments.
The pine timber on the pine lands is to be
sold to the highest bidder, but at not less
than S. per 1000 feet, board measure, as It
stands. The cutting is to be clean. No logs
are to be removed until paid for.
The concessions to forestry are these: That
! mot to exceed 225,OO0 acres of pine lands
to be selected by the forester! of the depart
ment of agriculture, shall be known as for
j estry lands and after the pine timber has
| been removed therefrom shall, without fur
! Their act resolution proclamation, forth
! with become and be part Of a forest reserve,
| and shall be managed and protected the same
| as other forest reserves and remain under
] the jurisdiction and charge Of the secretary
| Of agriculture.
! All of the cutting of pine on these 225 600
acres is to be under the supervision of said
| forester, who is given power to enforce his
rules and regulations. On these 5000 acres
| of forest, 5 per cent Of the pine shall be left
| standing. In addition there are set apart
| as forest reserve the splendidly wooded island
ltof Cass lake, Of about 1000 acres, and the
| other islands in Cass and Leech lakes; Sugar
and Pine, Points in Leech lake; also, $4,000
acres of pine lands in lots not to exceed 800
acres in contiguous area and not containing
in the aggregate more than 10000 feet of
! pine to each forty acres.
| The bill also repeats the law for cutting
'dead and down" timber.

The City Poor Department Finds It's
FLabors Lishtened. 81
The moderation of the temperature DUR
ing the past few days has had an appre-
cable effect on the work of distributing
fuel and provisions for the poor Of Min,
neapolis. There has been less call for
these necessaries of life from the poverty
st ricken, although it is difficult to meas
ure the amount Of charity bestowed by
the city because in most cases the al
lowances made on the first Of the mont b
are calculated to provide for the entire
month. Thus far this year, according to
Superintendent of the Poor Johnson, the
amount of provisions given the poor in
this city is less than the amount for the
corresponding period of last year. The
unusually high price of some products,
particularly of potatoes and butter, have
resulted in making the total expendit ure
for the period excessive as compared with
former years. In many cases the poor de-
partment has found it expedient to sub
stftute rice, beans and pork for potatoes,
and to cut out butter almost entirely
because of the high price.

THREATENED WITH RIFLES.

Game Warden to Withdraw.
Wisconsin fishermen drove Sam Fuller
ton off the soil of their sovereign state
with Winchesters last Friday. Mr.. Full
1erton attempted to stop the practice Of
fishing with nets in Lake Pepin, which is
cleaning the Mississippi Of it's black bass,
and when he and his deputies struck the
Wisconsin shore they were met with a
hostile demonstration. AS there was a
question of Fullerton's rights in Wiscon-
sin, he did not press the matter, but with
drew his forces. He has applied to the
attorney general for an opinion to settle
the question of jurisdictions.

Different NOTIONS
ABOUT PARKING WORK
Official Views Not in Accord With
Those of Mr. AldTich.

Mr. Frank J. Aldrich recently wrote
to the District Commissioners inclosed
a bill rendered by the Cranfo- Paving
Company for work done in restoring
steps and terrace IN front OF his prop
erty in Cleveland Park. Mr. Aldrich re
quested that he be reimbursed by the
District IN the sum of 1881
The superintendent of Roads has re-
ported that his Office is not aware of any
agreement to restore the steps and ter
race as requested. He says the only
understanding was that the slope back
of the sidewalk would be graded and
the brick walk relaid- Mr. Hacker
states that the slope was graded, and
that the brick walk would have been re-
placed but for the fact that q cement
walk was laid before the District was
ready to take up the work.
Mr.. Hacker recommends that Mr. Al
drich be informed in accordance with
his report and that he be told that III
all the similar cases along the line Of
the improvement the property owners
have adjusted their parking TO the new
conditions, the only exceptions being in
the cases wherein consideration for
land within street lines decided to the

LEADERS OF STRIKE
CONTINUE The War
Hope That Mr., Roosevelt
Might Aid Given Up.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 11--John
Mitchell. leader of the strike among the
anthracite miners, resumed charge OF
headquarters here this morning, having
arrived back from New York at mid
night
Mitchell had faint hopes that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's action might have some
good result, but now that it has ter
minated in again displaying the indis-
position Of the operating companies to
adjust the controversy except upon their
own terms. the strike campaign will b.
pushed with renewed vigor, and despite
the disappointment the strike leaders
declare they are not discouraged. Pres
ident Mitchell said this morning that
now there are no negotiations look
ing to q settlement, and indications
point more plainly than ever that the
great strike is to be continued until
operators or miners fall defeated
At this time a compromise is ont OF
the question How long the struggle
can be continued is d question. Ire
strikers continue to assert that they can
stand it as long as the operators.
Frank Pardee, an individual operator
at Hazleton. met Thomas Duff, district
president of the miners union on the
street in HazletOn.
How long will it be before you wiz
commence to get hungry" asked Par
dee.
How long viii it be before you oper-
ators see financial ruin?" questioned the
strike leader
Guess we can stand it until January

Then" said Duffy, we will stay our
hunger 1rtil January"
This incident illustrates the deter
mination on both sides. The operators
here say this morning that some OF the
