Already there are signs of in- creased attention to the Florida pines. This is shown by the calls which have recently been made on the national forest service for infor- nation and assistance, as we'll as by the effort which was made, though vainly, a couple of years ago to se- cure the passage of a bill providing for cooperation between the nation al government and the state of Flor ida. Several private owners have applied to the government for work ing plans under which to manage pine numbering conservatively, and one application is for tract of l. 500, ,000 acres. This tract lies on the west coast and consists of very low lands with stand composed chiefly of Cuban pine and cypress. It is subject to constant flooding dur ing the rainy season, and the water retards the growth of timber seri- ously. This has brought out the question whether much of the land may not be drained without too great expense. If economical drain age can be carried out on a suf- ficiently large scale, it is expected ,, that the rate of growth and the quality of pine timber on thousands of acres may be very greatly i'm proved. Timber is the only availa ble crop on such land, for it is toe sandy for agriculture, so that what ever will insure profitable timber crops will lend it the only commer cial value which 1t is at all likely tc have. Detailed study on the ground will be necessary to determine just what advantages drainage will SC cure. Florida forests are unfor. tunately exposed to great danger from fire. In this they are like tn, southern forests in general, but tn, practice of burning the ground ovel to improve grazing is firmly estab lished, and wherever this is the cas. the forest is especially threatened Much difficulty will doubtless be me with in the effort to chance the GUS tom. Some of the oldest settler throughout the south, however, ar, now beginning to recognize tha
 burning does not improve grazing il the long run, because it kills out tn
 more valuable grasses. They admi that the forage crop on the open for est stands deteriorating during tn
 past forty years as a result of thes
 injurious fires.

Placing the rate bill in the hands of Senator Tillman marks the first time in our history that the fight for an administration measure has been led by the leader of the minority party and must depend on the votes of the minority for passage. This proves that the railway rate question is good democratic doctrine and like the ship subsidy bill is just little more demo- cratic thunder stolen by the republi- cans to make them solid with the people, says Washington critic.

A combination of big stick and pitchfork ought to be rather formid- able in fight.
 Foreigners in China fear that the Boxers will give way to the Slug gers any moment.
 From. the most reliable reports" :" it appears that there will, and there will not, be a coal strike. i
 Isn't the Moroccan conference standing around chewing its cud and waiting for President Roosevelt to come to the rescue?
 Since MT Roosevelt had a wedding, in the family, his friend, the Kaiser, just had to have another one to keep up with the procession.
 During his services as pilot for the railroad rate bill, Senator Till man will probably substitute the w-catcher for the pitchfork.
 Raised in an oleaginous atmos- phere, it was quite natural for John D. Rockefeller, Jr, to advise his Bible class to 'let your light so shine" etc.. Senator Tillman is going to South Carolina for a few days. Possibly he is after new supply of home grown pitchforks to be used in de- fense of the rate bill.

LAKE GEORGE SPECIAL WRECKED
Miss Edmond of Gansevoort Killed at
 Saratoga, N. Y.

.
 SARATOGA, N. Y., March 8.-A rear end collision on the Delaware and Hudson railroad here resulted in three deaths and severe injuries to several passengers who were on the train known as the Lake George special.
 Miss Esmond, aged sixteen years, of Ganseyoort, was instantly killed. Her mother, Mrs. Charles Esmond, received injuries that have since proved fatal. Frank Sindecuse of Buffalo, a travel ing salesman, died later of his in- juries. Frank Cardes of Albany was in- jured internally. Nelson M. Varney of Sandy Hill had his right hand and arm crushed and received internal injuries.
 Miss Gertrude Esmonds skull was crushed when the car in which she was a passenger was telescoped by the coach behind.
 George Foster Peabody was on the wrecked train on his way to New York from his Lake George home. He es- capped injury and after the accident went to the home of Spencer Trask in this city.
 All of the passengers injured and those who were killed were in the for ward coach of the local train from Glens Falls, which was held up on ac- count of derailed freight train ahead. The freight had left the track near the Saratoga depot, completely blocking traffic. The Glens Falls train had been at standstill for some time when the Montreal express came into view. The engineer of the express claims that he saw the danger and applied the emer- gency brakes. The rails were slippery, however, and at very little if any d. unfinished speed the Montreal fiier crashed into the standing local, tele- scoping it. The Esmond girl was caught between the first coach and the baggage car. The other passengers were pinned down by wreckage and | were rescued with much difficulty aft CT police reserves and fire apparatus had been called to the scene.
 That the list of killed and injured IS so small is attributed to the fact that many persons in the local train had become tired out from the long wait and had left the train to walk to the | depot.
