GERMANY FEELS iNsuLTED.
Chinese Minister at Washington Said
to Have Talked Too Freely.


Berlin, Feb. 20. --- A sensation hal
resulted in diplomatic circles here fron
the cabling OF what purports to be ar
interview at Washington with the Chi.
nese minister to the United States, Sin
Chentung LANG Cheng, In which the
latter is quoted AZ saying
'Since the dawn OF your civilization
the Germans have been disturbers oil
the peace and repose OF other people
and nations within what Is now the
Christian domain. They seem always
discontented with what they have
Their energy appears to demand the
whole world In which TO bustle.''
The Chinese minister is then said to
have intmiated that The present discon-
tent In China Ia due to German meas
urea and German plots, and is alleged
TO have further intimated that the Ger
man government or It's agents is giving
support to the revolutionary movement
which has for it's object the overthrow
|ot the present reigning dynasty lin
China.
This lie absolutely and emphatically
denied here, but none of the members
OF the Foreign Office would discuss the
matter until the authenticity OF the al
legged Interview could be subetantiated
Ii Is understood that long cable dis
patch was received from Baron Won
sternberg, German ambassador TO the
United States, Sunday, bearing on the
subject. II it should prove that the
statement of Sir Liang Cheng can be
substantiated, there 10 possibility
that China will be asked to dlsavow
his remarks.

aeyeuRN's DRASTIC BILLS.
Would Stop Creating Reserves and
Order General Survey.

Order General Survey.
washington, d. O.. Feb. 10. -- sena-
tor Hepburn is going after the prssi-
DENTS forest reserve policy again. To-
dav he introduced bill far more dras-
tic than anything be has heretofore at
tempted. 1t prohibits further with
drawals of public land for forest reserve
nurposes in Idaho, and stipulates that
where land has heretofore been with
drawn. and has not been created into
forest reserves, it shall Immediately be
restored to the public domain. 1t also
provides that no reserve or withdrawal
made for forestry purposes in Idaho
shall include sections JIG or 80. title to
which was in the United States at the
date of the admission of Idaho into the
Union. 1t further stipulates that no
forest reserves shall be created IN Idaho
to include land heretofore classified as
mineral.
The effect OF this bill, If enacted
would be absolutely to put q stop TO
forest reserve extension in Idaho, but,
like Mr.. Heyburn's other forestry
bills, it viii not pass.
Mr.. Hepburn also introduced bill
appropriating 100000 for the survey
Of all unsurveyed public land in Idaho.
Mr.. Hepburn says Idaho's development
is being retarded by reason of the fact
that only one-third of the state has
been surveyed. Furthermore, the lack
of surveys makes it impossible for the
state to perfect many Of it's selections
made under various special grants.

MORE RESERVES.
President Finds He Has Backing OF
Many Congressman.


Washington, FISH. 2o.--President
Roosevelt, after comforting with West
ern men in congress, finds his forest re-
serve policy is very generally endorsed
and learns that there is no prospect OF
the passage of Senator Heyburn's bills
Intended to check the withdrawal OF
land and the creation OF reserves. He
has, therefore, decided to abandon his
recent order suspending forest reserve
extension and within short time new
proclamation will be forthcoming Great.
ing reserves in several Western states.
Oregon and Idaho among them.
At the time he determined To hold
up proclamations, the president had
been led to believe that his right tn
create reserves had been generally cues
toned and he thought it best to wait
until his rights were specifically defined
by congress. Now, however, it has be-
come apparent that the vast majority
OF men In congress approve the manner
in which the president has been carrv-
ing out his forestry policy and with This
unqualified Endorsement the president
has decided that he can, with good
grace, proceed as if there had been no
interruption.
1t is intimated that the Hayden re-
serve In extreme Northern Idaho will
pe the hrst one created. Just how
soon. If at all, a reserve is created in
southwestern Oregon cannot be learned
as Forester Pinchot has promised to re-,
ceive and consider the protests of the
people OF that section and, until these
protests are filed, no determination of
this matter is expected. =

Boise - In the District court Judge
sewart has held the state veterinarian
law unconstitutional. II his decision ia
sustained by the Supreme court, 1t will
wipe out the livestock sanitary board
and the Off o OF state veterinarian. The
old state sheep inspection act will, how
ever, be revived.
1t Is found by she court that the leg
islature sought to repeal the latter law
by mere reference to 1t, extending the
duties OF sheep inspector to the new
office OF state veterinarian. The litiga-
tion arose over an order that all sheep
south OF the Salmon river be dipped a
second time last year before being
driven In from the Summer range. A
number OF sheepmen in Washington
and Canyon counties refused on the
ground that their sheep were free from
scab, and that the board had no au-
thority to order them dipped second
time.
This case was brought to test that
point and the constitutionality of the
law. Judge Stewart has held with the
sheepmen on both points.

Steunenberg and evidence that will
convict great many others, too, of the

"They cannot escape in any possible
way, and the legal knowledge of all
their attorneys cannot keep them from
the gallows. You can say for me that
the day of dynamite ousrages in the
West is at an end. Haywood, Meyer

come. The Steunenberg assassination
was the final straw that broke the
