pressive OF Approval.

Washington, Dec. 27.-President

of the Venezuelan controversy. The

ferred for adjudication to The Hague

sion of the cabinet meeting Friday.
The meeting was not so long as the
sessions usually are. All the members
except Secretary Root were present.
The Venezuelan question was the
principal and practically the only top
ic of general concern under considera-
ton. Secretary Hay presented the
net results of his cable correspon-
dence with the governments at Lon
don, Berlin, Rome and Caracas. In
accordance with the suggestion made
by President Roosevelt, through Sec
retary Hay, President Castro was re-
ported to have agreed to submit the
differences to the arbitration of the
tribunal at The Hague. The European
powers not only consented to submit
the controversy to arbitration, but
while they had expressed preference
for an arbitration to be conducted
by President Roosevelt, they had as
sented to his suggestion that the mat
ter be referred to The Hague.
The presentation of the case met
the hearty approval of the cabinet
No fear is expressed by the admins

be brought into the controversary in
any manner that might result in an
embarrassing situation for the Unit.

peatedly but the foresters publish all sorts of reports to the nation that the forests are being stolen, and that they are the only people who are saving them, and thus se- cure sympathy and support in their doings. When they get charge of piece of country as a forest re- serve the public are kicked out just as if it were private property. Stockmen, miners, saw mill men and settlers are kicked out. They give script to every person who is settled upon any land that happens to be within the section of country they embrace within a forest re- serve. Spectators buy that up and then sell it to other spectators until large tracts of good land in other regions are all in a bunch, and thus the public domain is mon- opolized. This forest reserve busi- ness is getting to be a pernicious outrage and unless the people start in to stop it there is no telling where it will end.
 Lincoln county, New Mexico, has been almost ruined. This policy has driven out dozens of settlers from it, because when the settler is once enclosed in a forest reserve he cannot get in or out with his live stock to his piece of ground without leave of some intermeddling gov ernment range rider.
 The forest reserve as at present administered is a nuisance. Prop erly administered and confined to proper limits it might be and prob ably is blessing The people who are living in the vicinity of the present proposed reserve had better start in with their protests if they expect to head off this big reserve that is about to be created.
