washington, April 23.-An inves-
tigatiOn carried on in cooperation
with the bureau of forestry of the agri-
cultural department on the preservation
of tim Der and the methods of increas-
ing it's resistance to decay is to be con-
Quoted on large scale during the
present season. Two experimental
plants have been secured for the treat
ment of timber to determine its resis-
lance to decay, as affected by steaming
and the use Of various preservatives.
An experimental plant for the treat
ment by IA new process using the cleo
trio current is to be built in co-opera-
ton with the Northern Pacific railway,
and it is believed by officers of the for
estry bureau that this is a process of
great future promise. II successful it
will enable consumers of lumber to
treat the wood at small cost without
expensive apparatus, and will make its
use practicable in every town where
an electric lighting or power plant is
established. The experiments are re-
garded as an important economic step
in the use of lmberu.

Elected Moderator of Prcsbyterians
Before Delegates Wake Up.
Buffalo, N. Y, May 23.-The gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States was STAN
peded for Rev. j. A. Henry, of Phila-
delphia, for moderator. DIR. Henry
was elected unanimously p lost before
other leading candidates for the posi-
ton knew what was going on.
The ll6th general ASSEMBLY of the
Presbyterian church of the United
States convened here with very large
attendance. The Rev. Robert +. Coyle,
D. D., of Denver, the retiring moder-
ator, preached the opening sermon,
after which recess was taken. There
are 71O commissioners entitled to seats
in this assembly, which is the court of
last resort of the Presbyterian body in
this country, representing 1,1OO,O 900
persons, $500 congregations and 1900
ministers.
One of the main questions to be con-
sidered is an overture from commit
tee from the Cumberland church,
which seeded from the parent body in
1910, and was organized as separate
church. The secession was on doc
trinal and educational grounds.

TREATY ANNUI,LED.

Korea Cancels Concession That
Brought About Crisis.
Washington, May 23-Minister AL
len cables the state department from
Seoul as follows:
THE Korean government, by an i'm
perial decree, has anulled all tbreaies
and agreements with the Russian gov.
eminent. This anuulment comprises
the Yalu timber concessions"
This Yalu timber concession is said
to have been one of the principal fac
tors in bringing about the war. So
long as the Russians remained on the
western bank of the Yalu the Japan
csc. though very much discontinued at
the failure to evacuate Manchuria,
were not willing to plunge into hostil-
tiles but the procurement by Russia,
through M. PavlOff, the resident Rus.
sian agent and minister at Seoul, of a
large concession of land ON the Korean
side of the Yalu precipitated the crisis.
The japanese felt that the alleged
timber concession was really intended
for military purposes, and they were
confirmed in their suspicious by Rusl
sia's opposition to the application of
Japan, England and the United States
to have free ports opened at tthe mouth
Of the Yalu river and above Win and
Antung.
The practical effect OF this decree il
to break off all diplomatic relations
between Russia and Korea that may
have survived the expulsion Of NJ. Paw

Minority Stockholders Want to
Know About Profits.
Anaconda, Mont, May BIB. F..
Wilson, representing minority stock
holders of the Anaconda Copper Min.
ing Company, and reported to hold
proxies for the Rothschild interests,
made sensational charges against the
management of the company's affairs
by the Amalgamated Copper Company
at the annual meeting of stockholders
here.
He presented figures from the com
pany's books showing that the net
profits had fallen off almost "a, OOO, ZOO
in four years and showing that with
no decrease in production of ore and
with the cost of treatment materially
lesssned by new smelling apparatus,
the net profits have dropped from So,
3O5, 51S for 1901 to 81 sol ,2O1 for 1908.
He charged the Amalgamated with
spending millions from the Anaconda
treasury for political purposes in the
state and showed that the books had
been altered to evade taxation.
He charged the company with de.
frauding minority stockholders, repre-
ssnting about 35 pee cent of the stock
through the United Metals Selling
Company, and showed how the cost of
selling the product had increased from
81 ,48l. 7S9 in 1901, to *3, 2O7, Is in 9O3,

statement, 10000, 900 pounds less We're

TO STOP FIGHTING
HILL. AND HARTMAN HAVE
AGREED TO AGREE.
That Ii the PurpOrt of u story sent
Out From ChicaRO-.Kesult May
BE Hartman Control of North.
ern Pacific and Joint Control of
Burlington System.

Chicago, May 23.-President S. NJ.
FELTON,, of the Chicago g. Alton rail.
road, is on thorough physical inspec.
ton OF the Northern Pacific property
from st. Paul to the Pacific coast.
Back Of the trip is the assertion that
he ia acting az au arbiter Of the Hill
Hartman differences. Based upon his
report President Hartman will make
AN offer for the Northern Pacicfi sys-
tenn and half interest in the Burling-
ton
1t is stated that Hill and Hartman
have agreed that they cannot afford
to continue the Northern Pacific Great
Northern fight, and powerful financial
interests of New York have exerted all
their influence to bring about an ami
cable settlement and avoid another
panic such as occurred three years
ago over the control of these roads.
A member of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb
& Company is said to have suggested
as the best solution or settlement of
the problem that the Hill interests be
placed in absolute control of the Great
Northern and that the Hartman in
terests be put in control of the Nor
thren Pacific and that the Burlington
bejointly owned by the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern.
This plan, in general terms, it is
stated, has been approved by both Hill
and Hartman. Before any definite
proposal could be made by Hartman
for the Northern Pacific, it WAS neces-
sary for him to ascertain exactly its
present physical condition. His selec-
ton of President FELTON, was approved
10y Mr.. H ill, although Felton's report
would not be binding on either Hill on
Hartman.
If the present negotiations are car
ried to successful conclusion Mr.
FELTON, would probably become presi-
dent Of the Northern Pacific" said a
prominent railway official. I'm that
event the Chicago Il Alton railroad
would be placed unoer the manage
ment of julius Kruttschmit, who has
just come here rs the general head of
the Hartman roads, while J. q.
Stubs would assume control of its
traffic affairs. President Hartman
probably would assume the title of
president of the Chicago & Alton, as
he has of the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific roads
