Washington, March 12-William Ran.
Brooklyn Eagle correspondent today
clearly defined his attitude in the con-
tested election against Mcclellan. 1t
is his intention to continue to the end
the fight to prove that Mcclellan was
declared elected by fraud. He proposes
to press for the passage of the bill at
Albany that will authorize q count Of
the votes. but If the attempt should
fail he will go ahead with the more
expensive and more tedious quo war

after consultation with the other can

and Mr.. Shearn, and we all agreed as
to the best thing to do. The position
Of our critics is hardly fair to US. It
Is charged that we ought to institute

We're to do this our critics would at
once say that there is no occasion to-
pass the bill now pending at Albany
for a recount.
Having decided to seek q recount
through the authority Of a legislative
act, 1T would be unwise to undertake
the quo warranto action. OF course
our reason for wanting to proceed un-
der a new law is the saving of time
In obtaining a result. Such q law will
permit us to go ahead at once, while
the quo warranto proceedings would
take at least twelve months. In the

Smith, the forest supervisor who has
Succeeded Capt. Seth Bullock. recently
appointed United States marshal OF
South Dakota, says that considerable
planting will be done on this forest
reserve during the coming year. The
department of forestry established the
Dismal river reserve in Nebraska as
a sort of a nursery and have been
making experiments there TO find out
what kin of trees can be grown sue
c~essfully in the sand hills. 1t has been
decided that the bull pine will do Welt
there. This reserve also raises seed
lings for the other reserves. The bull
pine will be planted largely in the
Black Hills and possibly some of the
yellow pine also. Last sulnnler a large
humber of trees We're set out in the
vicinity Of RoubaiX in this county n

The department has also appropriate
ed a large amount for cutting out the
infested timber in inaccessible parts
This infested timber has been killed
by the bark beetles, the natural foe of
the pine trees, and when it is located
in an inaccessible place such as the
top of the mountain no n will buy
it as it cannot be handled with profit,
1t is for the disposition of sue tim,
Der as this that the department has

New York. March 12.-The trial OF the
suit of Sarah Madden against Peter
Duryea, the Kentucky horse breeder
who married Viola Allen. to recover
$50, 600 for alleged breach Of promise or
marriage came to a sudden and uneX-
pected end in the supreme court, when

"A. Cuvillier, associate counsel for Miss
Madden, also withdrew from the suit.
The lawyers said that Miss Madden
refused to come to court and to pro-
coed with. the trial. The withdrawal of
the case is said to be due to the pos

up by a suit to be brought against him
by the Memphis Trotting association in
connection with the sensational Lou
Dillon doping case. Friends Of Mr..

VICTORY.
1t viii Rid Islands Of a Dangerous Out
law Band.

San Francisco, March 12.-Major Gen
eral Corbin, recently In command of
the division Of the Philippines, left his
hotel early this morning before hear
ing of the engagement near Jolo.
In his absence Captain j. a. Pen7,
who has just returned from the Philip
pines expressed himself as follows:
II am grieVed to learn our casualties
We're so heavy, but am pleased to learn
of the substantial victory achieved.
The fight is simply n of a series that
have occurred in the work of pacifying
the islands. 1t Is not likely to lead to
further engagements in the near future,
as the MoroS on the island of Jolo arel
not united n under any leader. They
are grouped into small bands, each I'M
der q petty chief. One village may be
destroyed without affecting its neigh
bors, who seem Indifferent to the fate,
Of Any except their ON people,
THE success Of u troops means sim
ply the practical determination OF q
dangerous body of outlaws who might
have caused more trouble, and this re-
suit will deter others inclined to defy
the authority Of the United States"
Major General A. w. Greedy. who to-
day takes command OF the division of
the Pacific, said he did not expect
further trouble on the island Of Jolo,
which was small, and did not contain a
large population.
