peror of Germany and the king of

health of the emperor-king without
the qualifying expression of brother
hood and friendship but turning to
Herr Won Schoen, the German am

HEPBURN TALKED
FOREST RESERVES

Washington, Jan. 30.-The Chinese
boycott and the admit i stration of the
forest reserves divided the attention of
the senate Monday. The Chinese cues
ton came up IN connection with a res
olution by Senator Tillman directing
an investigation by the committee on
immigration. Senator Tillman modi-
ned the resolution by ommitting the
major portion of the preamble and af-
ter considerable discussion the resolu.
ton was referred to the committee on
contingent expenses.
Senator Hepburn raised the question
regarding forest reserves. He sharply
crltized the methods of the forestry bu-
reau and charged it with maintaining
a press bureau for the purpose of at
lacking him. He declined, however.
to hold the president responsible for
this course. He asid that the course
avs calculated to retard the develop
ment of the west.
Senator Dubois took contrary view,
defending the policy pursued and con-
tending that it was in the interest of
the arid regions.
Senator Hepburn addressed the senate
In support of his bill to compensate
states for school lands taxi en- possession
OF by the government for forest reserve
purposes. He said congress had sur
rendered its constitutional right to con-
troll the public lands embraced within
the public lands embraced within
the forest reserves and that the admin
of the reservations is of such
character as to force the conviction
that the time has arrived for congress
to resume its guardianship.
Senator Hepburn said the forest re-
serves in Idaho cover more than 90 900
square miles. He protested against
such an extensive withdrawal as un.
fair, saying:
1t is men we want, not trees.

: Washington.-The isthmian canal
commission has concluded its consid-
Grafton of the report of the board of

the type of canal that should be built.
The commission has had before it the
reports of the majority and minority
of the consulting board.
While no official announcement is
made with reference to the commits

believe they have summarized the two
reports and have recommended the
construction of lock canal, with 1873

oFFICIoUs DEPUTY.
Promises Escaped Prisoner Immunity
From Law and Gets Ar.
rested Himself.

Minot, June 15.-John Skinner, of
Flaxton, was arrested Thursday for
contempt of court and brought to-
Minot and arraigned before Judge
Goss. His hearing will take place
next week and meanwhile he is under
bond of $1,000 in default of which
he will be placed in the county Jail.
1t seems that Skinner was one of the
deputy sheriffs of Ward county and
last fall assisted in raiding some of the
blind pigs at Flaxton. One pigger by
the name of Ford escaped arrest and
went to Canada. Skinner saw Ford
at several times in Canada and told
him that he would fix matters all
right SO that he could return to the
United States without being arrested
and SO obtained $25 at one time for
that purpose and then he induced
Ford to deed to him lot which he
owned in Flaxton and in return for
this he would see that he (Ford)
would not be arrested if he returned
to the United States. In his dealings
with Ford he represented himself 10
be a special deputy sheriff appointed
by Judge Goss and had greater powers
than the regular deputy. But Skinner
was caught in his game and he will
now have to deal with Judge Goss on
charge of criminal contempt
