CORNELL,S FORESTRY GRANT.
Hearing on Application OF saranac Lake
Resitients to Have II Annulled.

ALBANY, June 2. .--Attorney-General Cun-
neen gave hearing to-day on the ap-
pcation of Eric p. Swenson OF New York
city, representing the association of resi-
dents Of Upper Saranac Lake, that proceed
ings he instituted to annul the grant of the
State forest lands in tho Adirondacks
made to Cornell University several years
ago for scientific forestry work.
The grant comprises 10000 acres OF forest
In Franklin county and was bought by
the State for the purpose Of permitting
the university to maintain sc'eltifc
school OF forestry, The S ate paid S1s5OOo
for the land.
The original application TO sbrogate this
grant was made TO former Attorney Gene
raj Davis and was denied by him on the
ground that I've did not consider the case
one in which the policy Of the s ate in Civ
ing the land to Cornell for school purposes
should be attacked by the Attorney-G 'neral
whe n he is satisfied that no violation OF
the provision of the Constitution in making
tho grant j. .hDNi.
The petition to Attorney General Cum
neen asks that he begin an action to compel
Cornell to submit to the restrictions of the
provision of the State Constitution, which
forbds the sale of timber from State lands.
II il alleged that the Cornell forestry opera
tions. 80 called. have already succeeded IN
dennding large area OF forest growth and
that the university. through II contract
made with the Brooklyn Cooperage Com
pany, permits the numbering of the land for
purely commercial purposes, with the at
tendant destruction of the forest.
1t is alleged that the purchase Of the
tutional. The applicants also cite in sup
port Of their contention the report Of a
committee of the Assembly which investi-
gated the Adirordacks, condemning the
manner in which the school was conducted;
also the action of Gov. Odel in vetoing an
appropriation of $4,000 made this year for
the payment of the expenses Of the school.
The association of residents OF Upper
Saranac Lake includes in it's membership
many prominent New Workers. among
them being ex-Gov Levi P. Morton, jules s.
Bache, Isaac n. Seligman, F. s. Bangs
and John G.. Agar.
The association was represented at the
hearing by John G. Agar and f. B. Whitney
of New York city and James F. Tracey of
Albany, and Cornell University by s. h.
who represents the Brooklyn Cooperage
Company in opposition, was not present
at to-day's hearing.
IT was shown that the university forestry
school has entered into contract with
the Brooklyn Cooperage Company to fur
IilSH 10 IL lU.UUWU leet OF tlInDeT yearly
from it's land which contract will entirely
denude the tract in thirty years.
Mr.. Halliday in opposing the application.
held that the Attorney General had no
power to institute proceeding TO annul
the grant made to the school. He main
tanned that the statute is not unconstitu-
tional and that even II 1t were 30 the un.
constitutional provisions must be held
to have been waived, and the parties thus
prevented from raising them at this time.
Attorney-General Cunneen reserved de-
cision.

Letter From an Unwilling striker.

To THE EDITOR or THE Sun Sir: Since
May II have been a striker against my will
being member OF the Wire Workers Union.
which is demanding fifty hours a week against
ifty-four, and some other points OF little
account
Last year. during strike of seven weeks
We lost all the pay OF that time and gained
six hours a week, which most Of the men
wasted On May I OF this year most Of the
bosses without request advanced pay 10
per cent, and many of us we're satisfied, be-
cause work is steady all through the year.
Others were not and all were called out. Now
the bosses are getting men from other cities
where the pay Is less and work ten hours a
day,
Now. I want to 60 back to the shop where
outside OF strikes and choice, / have work ed
without break for twelve years. but cannot
without being expelled from the union and
prevented from read dmission il work slacks
up or a fire or other cause shuts off employ
ment in the old shop and am forced to apply
sewhere.
By economy have bought little home.
which Is not all paid for. and it seems as If
must remain in New York. My employers
know my position, sympathize with NE and
want me to come back to work They have
shown me letters from their customers out Of
the city which prove that our kind Of work
can be done cheaper outside OF this city tn an
here. and that trade is being driven away from
here by the workers demands. All the bosses
are formed into an organization stronger ian
ours, and with money to back 1t, and mine
say that they are all determined to lock us
out and get new men from the West where
work is not In plenty and wages are smaller.
This is a nice outlook for a man bred to a
trade afraid OF his own union. GRILLE.

REBEL MOVE AGAINST CASTRO.
To Get Recognition as Belligerents From

The Venezuelan revolutionists who are
fighting President Castro are to petition the
United States for recognition as belliger-
ents. Mail advices received in this city
yesterday by the steamer zulia, from Vene-
zuelan ports, say that DR.. Pedro Esiquiel
Rojas, diplomatic agent OF the Provisional
Government established by the insurrec-
tionists, has been ASST gred to the mission OF

Dr. Rojas who was Minister OF Foreign
Affairs in the cabinets OF Presidents Crespo

possession of all the important ports ex-
cept La Guayra, Puerto Cabello and Mara

Of the country, where they exercise the
power of government.

An important decision has Just been
handed down by the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals in the case Of WYNNE
against THOMAS. Mr. WYNNE sued in the
District Court for the discharge Of his son
from tho naval service on the ground that
the son was a minor and was drunk when
he enlisted, and won in that court. Capt.
THOMAS, commanding the receiving ship
Franklin. appealed, and the writ Of habeas
corpus has been dismissed. on the ground
that when the discharge of a sailor is asked
for because of his minority it is not admis-
sible to introduce evidence to prove his in
toxication when he enlisted. II is a crime
punishable by dismissal from the service
for an officer to enlist a drunken man, and
the court held that charge so seriously
involving an officer must be made dis
tnctly and not as a side issue. Further
it held that the law, by requiring the con-
sent of parent to the enlistment Of minor
between the ages of IA and 49, afflrmatirely
authorized the enlistment of a minor over
Is without such consent. Young WYNNE
was accordingly remanded to the custody
Of Capt. THOMAS.
1t has been Of too frequent occurrence
that boys have enlisted, often by perjuring
themselves as to their real age. and on dis
covering that they did not like the naval
service have caused their parents to pro-
cure their discharge by court order. The
new decision should clear matters up some
what and prove a warning to lads not to
enlist without due consideration.

attention to single sentence. He says:
Then the Abolition party denounced the Cons,i.
tuition as a league with hell. and advanced the
doctrines Of what they called the higher law.
would not have this accepted as genuine
history. There was, in those strenuous days
no Abolition party" and accordingly the
Abolition party said no such thing. There
was Liberty party. which nominated Brney
and afterward Free Soil party and n Repub-
lican party. with such candidates as Van
Buren,. Hale and Fremont, before Lincoln
was elected, but no Abolition party. There
was a group Of Aboltionists, so called who
refused to form party. refused TO vote. who
did much talking and had little influence
who called the Constitution "a covenant
with death and an agreement with hell: and
these Mr.. Alexander has confused with the
men Of the Liberty party and the Free Soil
party. who said no such thing. but who did
advance the doctrine OF "the higher law"

The Rumored Municipal Bomb shell /.

Every political campaign is waged
more or less on charges of mafeasance
in office brought by the outs against
the ins. This is particularly true of
municipal campaigns, and the habit
of making charges has grown to such
proportions as to overshadow COM
pletely the importance of substantiating
them. In the campaign which resulted
in SETH Lows election as Mayor count
less charges were made against the then
Tammany officeholders. More than one
campaign orator promised his audiences
that Lows election would be the signal
for a procession of convicted Tammany
felons to start for Sing Sing.
Low was elected, and the voters waited
for the promised punishments to be
meted out to the former city officehold-
ers. They waited in vain. Tammany's
men neither fed the city nor we're brought
before the criminal courts. The Com
missioners of Accounts produced some
charges against the Tammany Dock
Commissioners. 1t cannot be said that
the charges made a very deep impress
sion, but they did hint at possibility
of future disclosures OF a more serious
nature. Apparently Tammany thought
80. for it hastened to get man into the
Sinking Fund Commission, which would
have much to do with such charges.
Tammany evidently believed there was
enough in the situation to warrant watch
ing it closely.
Some charges of favoritism in contract
citing were made against the Depart
ment of Charities, but they were soon
forgotten. Then came period of quiet,
with no prosecution, no denunciations,
and no revelations Of much account.
Now there are rumors that the Mayor
is on the track Of mysterious Higher
Up the hard-worked JOHN Doe, who
for long time has been charged with
heading a system Of blackmail which
pervaded every city department while
Tammany was in power. Certainly if
tho charges made against Tammany
were true, their proof should have been
in the hands of the Mayor long ago. He
has had seventeen months in which to
investigate the management Of the city
departments by his predecessor.
It is hoped that no man has been so
wicked as HIGHER UP and JOHN DOE
are alleged to have been. But if such
wickedness has flourished, we hope that
Mr.. Low has tracked it down. Consid-
cred as problem in politics, the sooner
information of it is published the less
will the discovery appear as a campaign
manpuvre, and consequently the more
forceful and effective it will be toward
electing an anti-Tammany Mayor.
