GROWTH OF FORESTRY.
An Historical Sketch From secretar
 Wilson's Report.

Wilson's Report.
 Washington, Dec. 4.-The annual re- port of the Secretary of Agriculture, just published, presents a striking re- sume of the growth of forestry in the past seven years, and of the part in this growth which has been taken by the Forest Service.
 During the past year." writes the Secretary, 'Ithe government work in forestry entered upon a new phase. Practical work in the actual introduc- tion of forestry began Tn 1898. But 1t was not until February 1, 1905, when the care of the national forest reserves was transferred to the Department of Agriculture, that the Forest Service became an administrative organization.
 This transfer was a logical out come of the recent work of the service. During the last six or seven years it has passed through a remarkable de- velopment, which has followed but not kept pace with its demonstration of capacity for public usefulness. On July 1, 1898, the division of forestry employed eleven persons, of whom six filled clerical or other subordinate po- sitions. and five belong to the scien- tific staff. Of the latter, two were professional foresters. The Division possessed no field equipment; practical ly all or us WOTk was OIlCS WOTk.
 At the opening of the present fis- cal year the employees of the Forest Service numbered S21, of whom 135 were professional trained foresters. Field work was going on in twenty seven States and Territories, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Can- ada to Mexico. Over 100000 acres of private forests were under manage ment recommended by the service, and applications on file for advice from owners contemplating management covered 100000 acres more. During the year nearly 62.OOO letters were sent out from the offices at Washington, the majority of them in reply to requests for information and advice from the public. of kind which could not be met by printed information.
 This contrast imperfectly indicates the full extent of the change which has taken place and the pro- years ago there were in the whole United States less than ten profess donal foresters. Neither a sciene nor Ia literature of American forestry was in existence, nor could an education in the subject be obtained in this coun- try. Systematic forestry was in opera ton on the estate of a single owner,

 Washington. Dec. 4.--Railroad rate legislation was the subject of infor- mal discussion by the President today, with some of his callers. Members of both branches of Congress paid their respects to the President. but only @ few of them had business of importance to bring up.
 Representatives Esch and Townsend of Wisconsin and Michigan had a brief conference with the President regard ing rate legislation. At the last session of the Congress the rate measure which bore their name passed tho House of Representatives. but the Senate failed to act upon 1t. They expect to re- introduce their bill at the present ses- sion. Mir. Townsend told the Presi- dent today that the measure practi- cally was completed. that he and MT. Esch were putting the finishing touches to 1t, and that 1t might be in- troduced tomorrow.
 Mir. Townsend said the measure would not differ in principle from that which he and MT. Esch presented in the last Congress.
 Tt will be an amplification," said he, 'of the ideas contained in the bill which we offered last session. Our bill does not differ In essential details from that proposed by the Interstate Com merce Commission, although in the de- tails there is a difference.

IMMEDIATE RUSSIAN REFORMS.
Gar and Ministers Decide to Adopt
Measures for Strikers

AS the result of series of special minis
terial councils, under the presidency of
Count Witte, held in St Petersburg yes
terday to adopt measures to deal with the
Industrial and political situation, the new
national assembly law and laws granting
practical freedom of the press and Of
speech and meeting will be promulgated
forthwith
Upon the peremptory demand of Prince
Hilkon, the minister OF railroads the
budget covering the remuneration of rail-
road employees will be revised to meet the
promises made last spring. Unless this
was done the prince announced that he
would resign.
Count Witte. even in advance of the pro-
mitigation of his formal appointment as
premier, completely dominates the stua-
ton.
Interesting details have been learned re-
garding Count Whites interview with EN-
peror Nicholas last week, at which il was
agreed that the time had come to limit the
autocratic power and give the people "A
real share in the government of the en-
pire.
The emperor asked Count Witte to speak
frankly, and after listening to the states
mans exposure OF the situation he ap-
peared TO be utterly unnerved by the de
plorable state OF affairs, and cried out that
he was weary Of the struggle, and felt like
leaving all and fleeing to Darmstadt. hence
probably the origin of the report that the
emperor was going abroad.
Count Witte, however. told the emperor
that in his opinion not even a republic
could now save Russia from anarchy. 1t
was the emperor's duty to the people and
the country to face the situation by meet
ing their wishes, namely. to abrogate the
autocratic power and grant a constitution
by creating a ministry responsible alike To
the crown and the representatives of the
nation.
The emperor finally accepted, requesting
Count Witte to draft project, which In
skeleton form he approved last Sunday
when the count agreed to accept the pre-
mership condition that he could name
the minister's and that they should report
to his majesty only through himself as the
head of the cabinet.
A dispatch 20 a London news agency
from St Petersburg says that two squad
rons of Cossacks yesterday attacked 1000
workmen who were holding meeting at
the Nevski works. About a hundred work
men, it is reported, were wounded, and
seven Cossacks were injured by stones.
The railroad bridge across the Obvodny
canal at st. Petersburg has been destroyed.
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company from st. Petersburg says that
Emperor Nicholas has decided 10 grant
constitution similar to that of Germany.
