New Forest Reserve.

Washington, June 6.-President
Roosevelt has proclaimed new forest
reserve in California to be known as
the Lassen Peak reserve, which covers
part of the Northern Sierra Nevada
range and contains a fraction under
100000 acres. Nearly "a per cent Of
the area is forest which has over three
and a quarter billion feet of accessible
merchantable timber, chiefly yellow
and sugar pine and red and white fir.
The land lies at an elevation Of be-
tween 5000 and 10,400 feet. Some
125,000 sheep and 10000 cattle have
been grazed annually over this area
and they will be allowed to continue
there.

|ANALYZING VICTORY.
Japaness Give Their Version Of Why
Their Fleet Was Victorious.
Many Reasona Given Not the Least
OF which 10 Them 10 the
Empcror's superhumaN
Influence.

Toxic, June 3.-The cardinal causes
OF Rojestvensky's defeat have been the
subject OF general discussion here.
One japanese expert gives the follow
Ing analysis:
'First, an imperfect reconnaissance
and incomplete, faulty and misleading
intelligence.
Second, an imperfect battle forma-
ton which indicated that Rojestven-
sky did not expect to meet Togo on
the Tsushima.
Third, the weather, the direction OF
the wind and the sunlight were I'M
favorable to the Russians, Togo having
the sun behind him and firing with the
wind, while the Russians had the sun
light in their eyes and firing against
the wind.
Fourth, the Russians wasted their
ammunition and eventually ran short.
Il Is believed that the surrender OF
Nebogatoff was necessary because his
ammunition had been expended.
Fifth, the marked inferiority OF the
Russian gunnery."
Leaving aside the questions OF pre-
paredness and superior conditions, the
superiority Of the personnel fresh from
Is months successful campaigning un-
der all possible conditions must be
taken into consideration. Many as
cribe the victory entirely to the super
Tor craftsmanship Of the Japanese.
Togo, realizing that It would probably
be necessary to fight in the open sea,
gave his crews long training In firing
during rough weather with a heavy
wind blowing and the ships rolling.
When the hostile fleets met, the SUI
periority of the Japanese Immediately
became evident. The sinking Of bat
tleships and armored cruisers by shell
fire testifies to the deadly accuracy Of
the Japanese guns and destroyes the
theory that It Is impossible to sink
such ships by shell fire.
The attitude Of Japanese naval men
towards victory is curious. Togo's
message to the emperor saying that
the victory was the result of the en-
peror's superhuman influence strikes
the keynote of the navy's attitude.
The officers openly say that the mar
velous result obtained was impossible
by mere human achievement alone.

KANSAS REFINERY CASE.
preme Court mt Topeka ms to
Validity of Law.

Topeka, Kan, June 6.-Arguments
were heard in the oil refinery case be-
fore the supreme court Monday after
noon. This is the case in which the
legality of the law passed by the last
legislature establishing an oil refinery
at Peru is attacked, in order that the
supreme court may pass upon the
question to establish the validity Of
the bonds proposed to be issued. The
opening argument was by c. E.. Gault
of Mulvane & Gault, representing q.
B. Jewett, prison warden. ]. Willis
Gleed of Gleed. Ware G. Gleed, repre-
senting some Mysterious client, whose
name they seem disinclined to divluge,
also argued against the erection Of
the refinery. c. C. Coleman, attorney
general, represented the state. The
case seems to hang, according to the
arguments, on the point as to whether
an oil refinery to be known as branch
penitentiary is IAN internal improve
ment." The constitution Of the state
provides that the state shall not in
dulge in an internal Improvement. Mr..
Coleman insisted that an oil refinery
is not an internal improvement and
that the state has O perfect right TO
build one If 1t sees At and that 1t IL
the states privilege to employ as many
of its convicts in the new institution
as 1t wishes.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
Il Il Unconstitutional and Unneces-
sary to coniascate the Property
Of the Railways.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee ut Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commission Prouty said In dis
cussing the proposition to give to that
Commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates:
IL think the railways should make
their own rates. I think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. have never advocated any law,
and I am not now in favor OF any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands Of any COM
mission or any court. While It may be-
necessary to do that some time, while
that Is done In some states at the pres
ent time, while Il is done In some coun-
tries, am opposed to It. The
railway rate Is property. It Is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of Its property Is not good for
anything unless It can charge q rate.
Now 1t has always seemed to me that
when rate was fixed, II that rate was
an unreasonable rate, 1t deprives the
railroad company Of its property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
should conflscate the property Of O.
railroad; It is not necessary that you
SHOULD say that It shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company Of its rights, Of its property,
and the Circuit Court Of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four.
teenth amendment to restrain that
I have looked at these cases
great many times, and I can only
come to the conclusion that a railroad
company is entitled to charge a fair
and reasonable rate, and II any order
Of a commission, II any statute of o
state legislature, takes away that rate,
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company"
Il takes more than dogma and creed

decided that as the injuries to the ves-
sells were not caused either by the
sea or storm they will be obliged to re-
fuse permission for the vessels to he

tie. Therefore the vessels cannot be
repaired unless interned until the end
of hostilities."
Admiral Train has been instructed
