 When the secretary was apprised of 'he conditions in this territory he did as he Was requested, and the letter states that the forest reserves were opened July Is. The length of time for which these tracts of land will re- main open is left with Captain Breen, superintendent of forest reserves
 When he considers that the ranges outside of the forest reserves are in condition to support the cattle and
 sheep he will declare the reserves as closed and the cattle will have to be removed 10 their former grazing grounds.
 The San Francisco and Black Mesa forest reserves lie adjoining each oth CT and extend from southeast to north west little north of the center of the territory. The former lies largely in Coconino county, out across the border into Yavapai county. The Black Mesa IS partly in both of these coun
 ties, then takes in a part of Gila coun

THE PUNISHMENT OF BUSINESS VAMPIRES.

Is public sentiment or the law at fault that the promoter of fraudulent financial schemes escape while the pet ty larcenist who steals a loaf of bread is punished?
 In this country, by some strange process of reasoning. We make a moral distinction between the larceny of the green goods" swindler and the lar ceny of the quasi-respectable promot- CTS of fraudulent corporation. How do We distinguish between the conduct of the trustee who hazards the funds of a trust estate and the conduct, for example, of the president and direct ors of the trust company so closely associated lately with the American shipbuilding swindle? The report of the New York state bank examiner shows that the directors of this trust company made illegal and practically unsecured loans of enormous amounts and permitted the president to use his position and the money of the stockholders and directors ito gamble in floating a so-called trust of the most flagrantly fraudulent character"
 The greatest bank wrecker in Amer ican criminal history now lives un- disturbed in New York. He never served a day in jail for dedication of six million dollars. If the friends or relatives of a man who steals in this country repay the amount of the theft it is quite often the end of the matter.
 In London Whitaker Wright, the notorious promoter who issued false balance sheets of the wrecked London and Globe Finance Corporation, was convicted and sentenced to serve seven years penal servitude. Under the New York law the maximum penalty which he could have received would have been one years imprison ment and a fine of $500.

Seven men have been indicted by the federal grand jury in New York as the result of the investigation of the Slocum disaster. Three of them the captain of the Slocum and two Governnient steamboat inspectors are charged with manslaughter, and ,remaining four-the president. secre- tary. treasurer and commodore of the steamboat company-with aiding and abetting the captain of the Slocum in the neglect of his duty" It Icmains to be seen whether the prosecution of the case will be pushed effectively. But the punishment of these men, de sired as it certainly is, will hardly tend to prevent excursion steamers, with rotton libe- saving apparatus, from leaving port as long as the in- spection Jaws are not rigidly enforced.

THE WAR SITUATION IN THE FAR EAST.

The Japanese army of Gen. Oku. the left wing. has continued its aggressive advance northward along the Manchurian railroad with the Russians in retreat. In a series of actions it has succeeded in the capture of Ia Tche Kiao. a well-forti- ed stronghold on that line, south Of Hai Cheng and about forty-five miles south of Liao Yang. The capture was effected with a heavy loss. As the number, stated at 5000, however, comes through Russian sources, 1t Is probably greatly exaggerated the loss of the Russians being. in the same re- port, given as but TOO. Ia Tche Kiao is an important strategic point being east of Yin Kow, now in pos session of the Japanese. and connect ed with il by rail. This advance, in connection with the reported abandon ment of New Chwang by the Rus
 sians, will give the Japanese a similar advantage against the Russian right
 wing to that which they have had up
 on the left. Indications favor the further retirement of Gen. Kuropat
 kin's army northward. unless the
 rains, which have lately been heavy should retard the Japanese advance
 The report that the foreign press cor respondents with the Russian army
 have been ordered to Harbin, severa
 hundred miles nortbward. would i'm
 ply preparations for a contemplated
 withdrawal in that direction if the
 Japanese aggression is pushed.
 l Field Marshal Oyama, commander in-chief of all the Japanese land forces in Manchuria. who was ir command during the campaign in the
 war with China when Port Arthur was captured, has joined the army of Gen Oku and is now said to be directing the operations of the combined ar
 mics. The latest estimate of his com mand is as follows: The army of Gen. Oku. on the left, with s65,000 men and 250 guns; the army of Gen. Nodzu, in the center. with s0,0O0 men and 1s0 guns, and Gen. Kurokis army on the right, with 105,O0O men and 226 guns.

The Secretary of the Interior has d. rected that the Black Mesa and San Francisco forest reserves be thrown open for grazing purposes until such time as the ranges in some parts of the territory are in better shape.
 This is welcome news to the cattle men and sheep men. for the ranges n some sections are practically void of grass or herbbage of any kind. The long drouth was rendering the state of affairs very unfavorable for the herd ing of cattle and sheep. Thousands of the animals were dying for lack of food and water.

The figures presented show the rapidity of unparalleled concentration of capital in many of the industrial pursuits of life and that the inclination and the ability to own and control vast bodies of public land wrere never so great as at the present time. The figures above presented showing the rapid decrease in the public domain from year to year prove this assertion.
 The repeal of the desert-land act and the communication clause of the homestead act and the timber and stone act, and a fixed policy on the part of the Government never to is sue another acre of land scrip or to endow an institution with land, will practically preserve the remaining pub lie land for actual settlers, for it must be apparent to all that a homestead act that requires five years residence and cultivation of the soil will sel- dom be used by the speculator.

Crime Increasing.

Statistics on the increase of crime in
the United States are being gathered
by the national census bureau, and in
furtherance of this task Sheriff J. w.
Dreger, of Hennepin county, Mimi,
furnishes a statement of the county
Jail population every three months.
''Crime is increasing" says Sheriff
Dreger, in speaking of the investiga-
tion and his deductions therefrom.
"We have more prisoners every quar-
ter and the most noticeable fact about
them is their youth. Nearly ::all the
men we get now are very young men,
and the majority of them have had
fairly good educations. r believe that
the increase in crime may be attribut-
ed largely to the way in which the
children of the present day are brought
up. They are given good education
and are pampered in every way possible,
but they are not taught to work. That
is the secret Of making law-abiding
citizens, according to my notion.
Make the children learn how to, work
and work hard and we will have less
crime" esssl :.ssa&:.. Xix. =H5# H.
