| Special Correspondence.
Washington, Dec. 3l.--Tt Is q for
lorn hope that some members Of the
house are leading In a fight they are
| making for currency legislation at this
session. Chairman Fowler Of the
house banking and currency committee
is at the head of the movement. His
committee has reported a bill. but that
does not mean that anything VIII come
Of it, because It may not even pass the
house. There Is not the least prospect
Of anything being done in the senate.
In fact, the men who came here from
New York to urge action at this ses-
sion could not have had any hope Of
success. Ii is rather strange that these
men VINO are anxious 20 secure some
legislation appear at Il short session Of
Congress stO secure Il. The currency
reform advocates maintain q bureau
here, and they are supposed to be men
who are familiar with the methods Of
legislation, aad II is rather surprising

TO AMEND THE LAND LAWS,
II has been found that as public land
grows scarce In the United states the
present laws need changing TO pre-
vent synGiCates from getting control Of
large sized tracts, The time was when
all efforts were directed toward dispos-
ing Of the public lands as rapidly as
possible. Now that the best lands nave
been taken up it Is found that there
viii soon be a scarcity of land aValla-
BILE for settlement. Some frauds have
been discoyedel in the public lana
states, and II is believed that greater
restrictions are needed in order 90 see
that public lands go to actual settlers
Senator Quaries of Wisconsin ana rep
resentative Powers of Massachusetts
have both introduced bills repeating the
stone and timber act, the desert land
act and the provision of the homestead
law which allows settlers on pubic
lands to commute their entries ana sell
the lands after a short residence

The late Austin Corbin purchased
1000 acres in the widest portion OF
New Hampshire for a Wild game pre-

the Black forest in Hungary ana arc

hunters in Europe. Senator PROCTOR
