ton was discussed briefly by the President to-
day. with some Of his callers. Representative

bodies substantially what President Roosevelt
hopes to see enacted into law. It Is expected by
friends of the measure that II viii be passed by
the House without serious difficulty or delay.

that time the members feel that a five minute
rule is desirable all viii join in asking it.

committee will oppose any amendments to the
bill which the committee is unwilling to accept.

for Dumping Refuse.

Washington Jan of-The Network city ship
ping commercial and towing interests moved on the
House Committee on Rivers and Harbors in force
to-day for the purpose of securing channel to
sea 10 be used in dumping the refuse Of the city.
The presentation Of the proposition was made by
Gustav SChvab, whose arguments were enforced by
detailed statements regarding tonnage, etc. by OK
perts IN the shipping and towing business
The plan advocated was to have the Couey Island
channel dcepened 10 20 feet and videned 20 500 feet
Chairman Burton Of the committee said al the
outset that there was little use in devOting any
time 10 showing the necessity for relief to the
shipping conditions of the Port Of New-Yorz. for
the reason that his committee was fully impressed
with the necessity for such relief.
The difficulty which presented itself was this: No
such Improvement as contemplated be begun
without preliminary examination and q survey.
Both OF these steps have TO be taken the result
direct appropriation for the purpose. and the
committee has not yet decided whether there will
be any authorizations for examinations anu sur
veys at the present session. There was one loop
hole which might be used In securing action for
New-TorlS. where relief seemed Imperative This
was an authorization made several years ago for a
survey Of this very channel TO ascertain tho OK

the real beneht of the proposed new channel would
be u relieve the main ship channels OF this daily

committee that the new channel could be completed

United States that there was one particles Of
truth IN the charge and this dangerous man,
whom they held UP as likely to involve the coun-
try in war, has made the greatest achievement
Of his administration the establishment Of peace
between two great warning nations.
Every step the President has taken has been
IN the interests OF peace-our own peace and
that Of the world believe this treaty TO be an
other important movement, not merely for the
peace and prosperity of that little dsorderly re-
public Of Santo Domingo, but for the main
tenance Of peace and the removal Of causes Of
dscord in American waters and I'm the American
hemisphere.
Mr.. Teller followed MT Lodge in a defence OF
the privileges of the Senate in regard to treaties
He complained OF what he charged was ten
dency to refer 10 opposition TO a treaty as an
attack the President. With reference to
Santo Domingo, he said that the Executive De-
partment was proceeding just as II would II the
treaty had been ratified. He agreed with Mr.
Lodge that conditions in Santo Domingo might
become such as to compel the interference or
the United States. but urged that the Executive
alone could not take that step. He contended
that fin Santo Domingo the President had at
tempted TO do what only act Of Congress
could Justify, and said the President had himself
treaty into effect. He asserted that. contrary to
what the President had said in his message, the
task was not imposed on the Executive Of bear
ing the burdens of other nations The President
he declared. had no right to put into effect any
agreement or mOdus vivendi in Sauto Domingo
without authority from Congress
Mr.. Teller then discussed the railroad rate
question and defended the Senate against a
charge Of obstructng consideration Of that
question.
Mr.. Money gave notice of q. speech tomorrow
on the Moroccan and DOMINICAN questions.

Treaty Reported to Senate-Hdy

From Tie Tribune Bureau.)

Washington Jan. 24.-The Isle Of Pines treaty
was reported TO the Senate to-day, without
amendment This does not indicate, however, that
there will be no amendment Of the convention be-
fore ratification. It is still the purpose Of ma
orty Of the Foreign Relations Committee to strike
out Article H. declaring that title to the island Is
transferred to cuba IN consideration Of certain
coaling stations and amend Article III so as to
provide further protection for American citizens
who have settled in the island
Whether the amendments viii be made on the
floor Of the Senate or the treaty be referred back to
the committee for further amendment has not been
decided The reporting of the convention in It's
unanended form was due to the absence Of a num-
Der Of members Of the committee, and IS regarded
as having been somewhat premature There Is,
however, no serious difference Of opinion among
the members to the amendments which should
be adopted and every member, with the single eX-
ception of Senator Morgan, favors ratification 50

TO REDEEM WASTE LAND.
Bureau Of Forestry to Reforest
Mountain Lands.
From The Tribune Bursau)

Washington. Jan. 24-An unusually interesting
experiment IS about 10 be undertaken by tbs Bu-
reau Of Forestry in Wayne County, Penn
It. IS an attempt to roforest waste mountain land
and is undertaken in connection with plan pre-
pared for lands controlled by Richard knight. Of
NIddletown, \. Y.
The plan recommends tho planting Of CONNER
cially valuable trees on 800 Of denudcd land
Whatever young growth IS at present occupying the
ground will he favored where II viii not detract
from the value Of the future stand There is a
second growth forest of ZOO acres adjacent to the
land to be painted. and the recommendations will
include directions for the rsht management Of this
forest as well as measures TO protect the whole
property from fire
The principal trees suitable for planting in this
locality are chestnut, European larch. red pine,
and red oak. Black locust has many desirable
qualities but its susceptibility to insect damage
makes its use on large scale somewhat hazardous.
so that It will be planted only TO a limited extent
The growth Of all these species IS fairly rapid, 50
that they may be expected TO make a substantial
yield in from thirty 10 forty years The yield from
thinning i'm the mean time VIII also be of value
When the plantation is from fifteen to thirty years
of age gOod deal Of material can he utilized for
such purposes as mine props.
The nursery stock needed for the plantation VIII
be grown on the tract. This will reduce the first
cost and the seedlings, when ready for planting,
will already be accIimated. To furnish these seed
Iings "a nursery capable Of rearing some 10000
plants annually viii be established in the coming
spring.
The project is one Of great interest to land owners
Of the region, as an example Of what may be done
with these waste lands. It is reasonably certain
that the experiment will increase the value Of the
property and prove excellent business invest
meut.
Tho demand for timber OF all kinds In North
eastern Pennsylvania far in excess Of the local
supply This IS especially true Of the better classes
of material. The coal mining companies require
enormous quantities Of timber annually and to
obtain the amount needed they are forced TO
Cept woods which Of small value. In many
cases, however, the use Of strong. durable timber
is imperative, and TO supply this demand large
quantities must bc imported principally from the
Southern States

many places have replaced the original stands

The absence of protection however has resulted

Iorested IS capable OF fully supplying the local
market, and there is doubt that large viii

Mr.. TAFT Il WITNESS.
Explains agreement Scith Bankers
IN Panama.

Washington Jan. 2A-Secretary Taft was before
the Senate Committee on Finance to-day to ex-
plain the monetary agreement entered into by the
Secretary and tho Canal Commission with certain
bankers on the isthrnus called for by a resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Bailey. Under this
agreement the commission IS supplied with cur
rency by these bankers as # is needed for the
payment Of salaries and 10 meet other urgent d.
mands in the canal zone. which relieved the COM
mission Of the necessity Of shipping currency from

frailty Of the human memory II had been
asked concerning this letter I should have said
without ,.esitarcy that the portion agreeing to
maintain the parity Of the fractional silver with
the gold standard had been struck out But st Is
there. and my name IS signed TO It. must adj
NIT f."
Continuing he said that no attempt had been
made by the Pauaman government to carry any
part Of the agreement into effect beyond that
which required the commission to give general
circulation to the coinage within the zone. The
subsequent agreement with bankers was necessary
in order to have the money on hand. He explained
that there is a tendency on the isthmus 10 hoard
silver coins. and without some surety from banks
the money could not be accumulated in readiness
70 meet demands.
In explanation Of his visit 70 the isthmus when
arrangements for the monetary agreement were
made, Secretary Taft said the trip was decided
upon by the President. who thought the presence
of Cabinet officer might dissipate a hostile feel
ing that was rising UP against the United states.
This hostile feeling" said the Secretary, was
the result OF a mistake arising through haste in
