SAYS WEST NOT WORRYING
Does Not Know Wall Street Say.
Secretary Wilson

Washington, Aug. 81 Secretary Of
Agriculture James Wilson has returned
to Washington after an absence OF
several weeks in the West, bringing
glowing accounts from that section OF
the country.
"The West is not worrying over fu-
ture panics or hard times, but is send
ing money to the East right now," he
said. "The people out there do not
know Wall street exists except as they
read about it in the newspapers. The
grain crops are generally good this
year, and less Western money is going
into Canada than last year. There is
some fear of another coal famine dur
ing the coming winter. "
Speaking of politics, Mr.. Wilson
said
Everybody talked to out West was
favorable to Roosevelt, and will insist
upon the nomination and election next
year of man who will carry out his
nOlicies ~

TREELESS IN TEN YEARS.
Secretary Wilson Predicts Future Un.
less Forests Are Saved.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Secre etary OF Agri-
culture James Wilson, who was in Chi
cago today on his way to Washington
after inspecting the government forest
preserves in the West, declared that ii
better care, more general propagation
and fostering of conditions are not OBJ
served, the forests of the country will
practically be wiped out in ten years.
"Forest nres," he said, "should be
guarded against, and for that protection
the government has employed thous-
ands of men to watch for fires. A per-
son can ride for miles through hichi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota and see
barren sections where formerly grew
great pine forests. Fires have wiped
out millions and millions of dollars
worth of the best of hardwood.
president Roosevelt has done much
for the preservation of the forests. He
has added more than $50, 100000 acres
to the forestry reserves and would have
made more had not the last congress
cut him down. He appreciates more
than many private citizens the great
worth of our forests. The East is de-
pendent entirely upon our Western fer
ests for its best tim ber."

DRIVEN FROM KEY
BY STRIKING MOB
NOn.unlon Operator In Wisconsin Has
to Flee for Life.
Wires Tempered With in Suspicious
Manner-Strikers Blame Incom-
petent Operators-western Union
Office at Arkansas City, kansas,
Burned by Firebugs.

Chicago, Aug. 29-Attacked by a
mob of striking telegraph operator,
John Laux, non-union operator in
charge OF the Postal company's office in
Waukegan, Wis, was forced to leave
his key yesterday and flee for his life.
This Office was closed last night.
When the strike order was issued
Mr.. Laux refused to walk out. He was
visited Tuesday by a committee OF
strikers from Chicago and urged to join
in the fight against the companies, but
he refused. Yesterday a large crowd
of strikers went to Waukegan and pro-
ceeded to the office. AS it entered Mr..
Laux escaped through rear door and
hid under a barn, where he remained
for several hours while the strikers
searched for him. Telegraph blanks
and others papers were torn up and
thrown around the Office and the strik-
ers completed the job by mailing big
sign across the door with the word
"scab" printed on it in large letters
The Western Union Office in Waupke-
gan is closed, the operator having quit
when the strike was ordered.
In spite of the efforts Of the telegraph
companies to discover the men who are
tampering with the telegraph wires,
mere trouble was experienced last night
than at any time since the strike began.
There is practically no trouble in send
ing messages East from Chicago, but
the service to the Pacific coast and to
the Southwest is uncertain.
"If the telegraph companies got com
petent operators they would have less
trouble with their wires," said Secre-
tary Wesley Russell. "We know OF a
dozen cases where incompetent oper-
ators have burned out the wires"
At the Offices Of both telegraph com
panies the usual information was given
that all business was being handled
promptly.
Dispatches from Arkansas City, Kan,
today stated that the Western Union
office there was completely destroyed
by fire. All the records, furniture and
instruments were destroyed and the To-
cal authorities say the fire was OF in
cendiary origin.

NO HOPE FOR CANTEEN
General Grant Says Congress Sees
Mistake, But Fears Cranks.

Philadelphia, Aug. 27.-"The anti
canteen Jaw ought to be repealed, but
there is little prospect that congress
will do anything with it for good
while" said General Frederick d.
Grant, in an interview at Willow Grove
park.
"Politcians do not care to antagonize
the extreme Prohibition element.
Congress sees, think, that it has made
a mistake, but it is hard thing to 60
back now"
The general made this statement in
answer to an inquiry as to what he
thought would be the outcome of the
agitation for the repeal Of the law abol-
ishing the canteen in the army.

JAPAN WILL NOT FIGHT.
Luke Wright Says She Has No Money
tor Gigantic War.


Seattle, WASH. Aug. 3O.-Luke Z
Wright, ex-ambassador to Japan and
prior to that governor of the Philip.
pines, returned to this country today
on the steamer Minnesota. Speaking
of Japanese conditions, Mr.. Wright
said:
"There will be no war between this
country and Japan. In the first place
do not believe that Japan is able
financially to wage such war as a con.
fict with America would involve. Be-
sidee, it is fact that the japanese gov.
eminent is sincerely in favor Of peace
and will bend every effort to keep the
relations between the two governments
amicable.
81 hope nothing will happen that
would induce this government to con.
elder giving up possession Of the Philip
pines. We must retain those islands
and develop them as they are capable
of being developed. Furthermore. we
need them to strengthen our trade rela-
tions with the Orient"

NO ARBITRATION, THEY SAY.
Small and the Telegraph Companies
Agree on One Point.

New York, Aug. 27.-President Small
declared today that arbitration of the
telegraphers' strike was at present out
of the question, and added that the
strikers were prepared to remain out
two months. He said the executive
board of the American Federation OF
Labor would shortly consider the Fede-
ration's relation to the strike. Small
asserted that the companies conditions
were worse than when the strike began,
and that half of the Western Union
force here failed to report for work after
Friday, when double pay was abolished.
Superintendent Brooks, of the West
ern Union, said:
"Our company will have nothing to
do with Small or his union. While
we are willing to consider individual
cases of the men who struck under
pressure, the agitators who engineered
this situation will not be re-employed
under any circumstances.

Scared Foreigners Flee.

Pittsburg, Aug. 80. - With their
houses slipping and creaking and win
dows breaking, several hundred for
egners have deserted their homes at
Port Vue, a suburb, fearing death in a
landslide which threatens to bury Scott
street and 25 dwellings. The trouble
is caused by the digging of new rail
road cut 100 yards below. The earth
between the cut and the hillside where
the houses stand is underlaid by soft
shale soapstone. and the whole mass is
slowly moving towards the cut. The
past "a hours 100 yards Of Scott street

IS INNOCENT,
SAYS SCOTT
Took No Part In Bribery Work In
San Francisco.
President of Pacific States Telephone
Company Gave No Authority to
Giass-Heney Pursues Purpose to
Fasten Responsibility for Buying
Supervisors.

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Presldent
Henry T. Scott, Of the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph company, was re-
called to the stand when the Glass
bribery case was resumed yesterday.
Under questioning by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Heney, Mr.. Scott testi.
efd that prior to the earthquake and
fire OF 1905 F. A. Pickernell, assistant
to the president Of the American Bell
Telephone company, took no active
hand in the conduct CT the Pacific
States corporation. but Immediately
thereafter he set about the formation
of plans for rebuilding the wrecked
plant. The purpose of this testimony
was, ON the part Of the prosecution, to
ambush any prospective defense to
shunt the bribery blame onto the
shoulders of Mr.. Picernell.
Mr.. Scott, answering series OF ques-
tions designed to clinch in the jury's
minds the asserted fact that General
Manager Glass was IN complete con-
troll of the company during the alleged
bribery period, said that he (Scott) be-
tween the date of his election to the
presidency and his return from the
East, in the latter half Of March, 1905,
signed no company checks, authorized
none, gave no authority to Glass or
Halsey to expend any money, and gave
no company instructions to any one.
Mr.. Scott said T. V. Halsey had no
stated position with the company, but
that he is drawing salary of $l75 per
month.
Mr.. Scott declared that he gained
from the grand jury the first knowledge
of the issuance Of $4,000 worth of
checks.

Roosevelt has issued official orders to
the Navy department to arrange all de-
tails of the forthcoming cruise of Ad-
miral Robley d. Evans battleship fleet
