Government Representatives Want
Pointers on Land Laws.
Portland, Or, Aug. 24.-The open
ing of the second day of the American
Mining congress was devoted to pre-
sentation. of the purposes of the COM
mission appointed by the president to
investigate the condition of public
lands and report to the national con-
gress remedies for existing evils and
suggest reforms in the land laws.
f. H. Newell, chief engineer of the
reclamation service. and Clifford Pin
chott. forester of the United States,
were the principal speakers. They
outlined the work they are engaged in
prosecuting. Their visit to the session
is to gain the fullest possible informa-
ton from the mining men of the con-
ditions in the country contiguous to
mining camps throughout the country
and learn what notifications in the
public land laws are considered desir-
able 10y those engaged in the industry.
To that end the commissioners of
the government will hear as many of
the delegates as possible while in Port
land, and invite mining men through
out the country to communicate any
statement of fact that may have come
to their notice in the operation of pres
ent laws, conduct of forest reserves, to-
gether with suggestions as to changes
in the existing laws.

ease her mind by letting her know that
you'd kindly keep the place open for
her bit longer"
The old driver delivered himself
nervously for he had been warned by
his sick daughter that the appeal
would be useless. Mr.. Boyston, ST..

But tribute of the freshest bloom a rose

And white and scarlet hollyhocks shook

And trailing out where. notified pink, the

1t struck the weedy angle of stake-and-

Small wonder that it loitered there.

The brier-roses were SO pink, the spider
wort SO blue.
The misty opals of the dawn-beguiling
youthful feet
Lay stored away amidst the grass and
clover blossoms sweet.
But once beyond the fences line, the
path ran, straight and prim
Where locusts interlocked their boughs
and made the morning dim
With musky shade; then suddenly it took
n headlong turn
And scrambled down IA hollow through a
snarl of brake and fern.
1t led us to lazy stream. and tempted
us to lag
And gather pnngent peppermint and root

The mandrake lured with golden fruit:

That shattered at the echo of a loudly

Then straight from idle dallying the

And as with moist and scarlet cheeks our

MANY REFORMS.
Abolition of Corporal Punishment
and Remission of Land Pur.
portant-. Political Consequences
May Follow Baptism.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 24-The man.
ifesto of Emperor Nicholas ON the oc-
casion of the birth of an heir to the
throne, the text of which is published
this morning, is a very lengthy docu-
ment. 1t is exceedingly liberal in the
benefits bestowed on many classes.
One OF the most important provisions
relatest o the entire abolition of corpo-
raj punishment among the rural classes
and its curtailmnet in the army and
navy.
he remission of land purchase ar
rears affects one of the largest classes
of population throughout the empire,
andi is benefits are also extended to
estates in Poland.
The amelioration of the conditions
which prevail IN Finland are more ex-
tensive than had been expected, and
include the esta blishment of state
land fund, amnesty for various offenses
and remission of penalties inflicted for
noncompliance with the Consumption
acts and for emigration without per-
mission.
The general provisions of the mani
festO include an all-arOund reduction
in sentences for COMMON law offenses,
general amnesty for political Offenses
except in case of murder and the edu-
cation of children of officers and SOL
diers who have been victims of the
war. as we'll as assistance for such
families as need it whose breadwinners
have fallen in the service of their
country.
Political Consequences Possible.
Political consequences of Importance
may follow the gathering at Peterhof
on the occasion of the baptism of the
heir to the throne. The emperor prac-
tically personally exchanges views
with Emp error William and King Ed
ward, as both Prince Henry of Prussia
and Prince Louis of Battenberg, who
arrivede last night, are not only bear
ers of letters but come fresh from per-
sonal Audiences with their respective
sovereigns.
1t is considered extremely signifi-
cant that Foreign Minister Lamsdorff
will spend the night at the Alexandra
villa as the emperor's guest, in order
that his majesty may have the benefit
of the minister's advice in discussing
questions raised by the war with
Prince Henry and Prince Louis.
No doubt exists that free exchange
of views held by the sovereigns of Rus
sia Germany and Great Britain on
cntroverted points like contraband of
war, the right to sink neutral ships,
etc, will certainly eventuate in better
understanding and make more easy the
adjustment of any future incidents.
