 AN ALABAMA CONVICT
Charles QuaIIs Is Fatally III With Tuberculosis and Is Menace
 to Other Prisoners.

Washington, March 30.--The house com mittee on public lands today authorized favorable report of a bill permitting the use of lands in forest reserves avail able for agricultural purposes.
 Favorable action was also taken on a bill providing that no entry shall be made on lands released and excluded from a forest reservation until sixty days aftef such exclusion proclamation by the secre- tary of the interior.
 The President has pardoned Leonard AL verson. Walter Hoffman and William Waterman, convicted in New Mexico of postoffice robbery. and sentenced to im- prisonment for ten years, of which they have served all but about nine months. These pardons are granted on the earnest recommendation of the governor of New Mexico. the general superintendent of the penitentiary and district attorney of the trial, because of the unusually good con duct of the prisoners. He has commut. ted to expire April 1 the term of imprison- ment imposed upon Charles Qualls. who was convicted in Alabama of conspiracy resulting in homecide and sentenced to twenty years.
 Qualls has served the equivalent of a ten-year sentence His sentence is com muted because he Is fatally i'll with tu- berculosis and his presence among the other prisoners and patients is con stant menace to them, there being nc facilities at the penitentiary for isolating him from the other inmates of the hos pital.

HEARING ON TIMBER
 AND STONE MEASURE
Hogg of Colorado Vigorously Protests Against the Repeal of the
 Acts.

Washington, March 30.-A hearing on senate and house bills for the repeal Of the timber and stone acts of the public land law was held today by the house committee on public lands. Representa- tive Hogg of Colorado vigorously pro- tested against the repeal of these laws and Representative Reeder of Kansas favored their repeal. MT Reeder assert ed that the public lands of the country were being disposed of under these acts at an alarming rate at price @20 pe- acre) much below their real value. In this way the valuable timber and stone lands were being acquired by large hold CTS. Mill men and lumbermen were ac- uuiring the timber lands and the stone lands were being gathered In by quarry men, A man would buy 160 acres at $2. per acre and then sell the same to com pany.
 MT. Hogg maintained that if the repeal bills were reported Colorado should be eliminated from their operation. The men who acquired land under the timber and stone acts in his state were poor men, and if they did sell to a corporation, they made a profit on the deal which was perfectly legitimate.
 The committee postponed consideration to Friday.

Criticism of United States.

St. Petersburg. March 3O-The Novoe Vremya today executed a face-about strongly supporting the idea of a Russo British understanding in an editorial en- titled: "The blindness of England" in which the paper argues that the success of Japan would be more injurious to Great Britain than any other European nation, and points to the United States as the common rival of both It describes Japan as "America's sharpshooter," and says
 "Remember what nation, in the person of the commander of one of It's men-oe- war at Chemulpo refused to join in the collective protest of the other foreign members before the Japanese destroyed the Variag and Korietz.
 Remember whose flag alone among all did not take on board the crews of our perishing ships. To the honor of England, the ally of Japan, it was not her represen- tative. but the commander of an Ameri- can ship.
 "The Americans wish to convert the Pacific into an American Mediterranean. Would that be to the advantage of Eng land? Does England not understand in her blind policy and hatred toward Russia. that she Is turning this ocean into an American Mediterranean? Sooner or later the European countries will recognize that America Is their mutual enemy. Why should not Russia and England in view of their possessions outside of Europe, combine? Some one will do England a great service by warning her of the econ omical and perhaps political Sedan which will be effected by the Japanese and Am ericans Russian and English interests do not clash Russia does not want India but only access to the open door from Vladivostock and Port Arthur"

concealins Important Move.

London, March 31.-The Daily Telegraph says the Japanese authorities have re- fused correspondents the use of the field telegraph lines. and that all dispatches must be sent to Tokio by mail. The paper further says that there Is no sign that any foreigners will be permitted to go to the front, though the native newspaper men will be allowed to do so. The Daily Telegraph in an editorial on the unpre- cedented severity of this censorship, sug gests that Japan has some new and im- portant move to conceal. possibly the re-embarkation of a portion of her forces already in Korea for some other point in the theatre of war. and is anxious to guard against the possibility of leakage through foreign correspondents, who might sympg thize with Russia.
 A Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Seoul reports that the Russians are evacuating the positions they occupy in Korea.
 The Seoul correspondent of the Daily Mail described Korea outside the dis tricts occupied by the Japanese as being in state of anarchy, and In readiness for rebellion. The correspondent adds that the censorship prevents and reference to local disturbances.

Sioux Fals, S. D., March 30.-The dem ocratic state convention did not complete it's work until a late hour today. The report of the committee on resolutions, which was unanimously adopted, reaffirms the principles of democracy ''as enunci- ated by Jackson. Jefferson and Bryan, and instructs the delegates to the St. Louis convention to support William Ran dolph Hearst first last and all the time for the presidential nomination"
 The resolutions declare that Hearst will never compromise with trusts and terms him the champion of labor
 One of the features of tonight's ses- sion was an address by former United States Senator Richard F. Pettigrew, who stated among other things, this, that he believed was the first time he had ever addressed a democratic convention, but that his entire sympathy was with the democratic cause. He severely denounced the state and national policies of the re- publican party.
 The principal contest of the convention was over the election of a member of the democratic national committed. K. w. Johnson the present chairman of the democratic state committee, who was sup ported by the adherents of Hearst, was elected to the position. The convention defeated a proposed amendment to the report of the resolutions committee, pro- yiding that the delegates to the St. Louis convention be publicly pledged to sup mort the nominee of the national conven-

DOCTOR CANNOT
 FILL PRESCRIPTION
Physician Wrote Prescription for Whisky and Ther, Being Phaprra-
 cist, Filled 1t Himself.

St. Louis, Mo, March BOA decision was handed down in the St. Louis court of appeals today which will prevent phy- sicians who are also pharmacists from filling their own prescriptions when the principal ingredient of the prescription Is whisky. The case was that of T. M. Manning of Audrain county, who was found guilty of violating the drug dram law and was fined $100.
 He appealed on the ground that he was a physician and also a druggist, and had right to prescribe whisky as a physi- clan and fill the prescription as pharn- acist. The court holds that the reduire- ment of a prescription is intended as a check on the pharmacist, and If the same man is permitted to write prescrip- tions calling for whisky the check is virtually removed, and therefore the judgdment of the lower court is sus- tained.

REASON FOE NoN-PAYMENT.
United States Wanted to Be Satisfied
 With Title.

Washington, March 3o.-The reason TOT the non-payment to Panama up to the present time of the $1o,oo,ooo on account of acquisition of the canal territory, doubtless is to be found in the fact that title cannot be taken to the canal and the rights therein until after certain nee- essary formalities in Paris, whither two law officers of the department of jus tice have gone to see that the Panama canal company regularly conveys it's rights and title to the canal property, has been carried out.
 The Associated Press on March an- nounced that payments to the canal com pany and to the republic of Panama would be made concurrently about April 1. 1904.
