From The New York Times.
Mr. Sherman has two elements Of strength His
nomination will bring to the support of the ticket
all the energies of the New York Republican or
ganization. Mr.. Sherman comes from Utica a
stronghold of stalwart Republicanism. He is well
known all over the state and has managed TO keep
himself aloof from faction quarrels, so that ms
name will not be a cause of lukewarmness or de-
fection. Then Mr. Sherman is conservative man,
exactly reaCtonary, yet he has in the House
belonged to Speaker Cannon's group. which has
from time to time put itself in opposition to some
of the policies of Mr. Roosevelt.

Land Claims and Grazing Permits.

Washington.-Chief Forester Pin
chot in his annual report says that al
though lands within national forests
are withdrawn from all forms OF entry
or fling except under the mining laws
and the agricultural settlement act OF
June IL, 1906, many claims are valid
because initiated prior to the creation
of the national forests. All alleged
claims must be examined and reported
upon in order that the commissioner
of the General Land Office may be in
formed if there appears to be any rea-
son why patent should not issue.
Reports on 2,473 claims inside ma
tional forest boundaries were received
from examiners. OF this number 093
mining, 705 homestead. 80 desert land,
42 timber and stone and 80 miscella-
neous claims were transmitted to the
General Land Office for final action;
200 mining, 100 homestead 10 desert
land and 20 timber and stone claims
were held for further report and 215
required TO action.
The General Land Office ordered 81
hearings on recommendations of the
forest service that claims be rejected.
The average number of cattle and
horses graZed under each permit was
67 head and the average number of
sheep Las. This shows concusively.
says the report, that the small owners
have preference in the use of the ma
tional forest ranges.
The total receipts on account OF the
above permits were ss57.s57S3.
Only eight per cent. of the applicants
failed to pay the grazing fees and to ac-
cept the permits applied for, and with
out doubt many of these will accept
their permits before the close of the
season This is exactly the same per-
ceutage as last year.

Possible Release of Thaw.

Matteawan.-Dr. Lamb, superinten.
dent of the state hospital for the Grim
inal insane, said Thursday that If after
thirty days or so it is his belief that
Harry Thaw is sane 1t will be within
the province of the hospital authorities
to certify to the court and recommend
his release. A commission in lunacy
or other proceedings would not be nee
essary, he declared. The physicians
at the institution are not making OBJ
servations of Thaw as yet, as they feel
that he las not recovered from the ex-
element caused by his recent trial. He
is considered a model prisoner.

Predict Portuguese Republic.

Lisbon, Portugal, via Badajos, Spain.
The Republican leaders in Portugal
are in extremely high spirits. They
assert confidently that republic is
now matter of months, not of years.
A competent spokesman says:
THE end of the monarchy is near.
1t will come as Unexpectedly as did
the murder of the king and the crown
prince, and the world will wake up
one morning to find republic in Por-
tugal. We are convinced that the rev.
olution will be a peaceful one. 1t is a
mistake for foreigners to imagine that
the people of Portugal are not awake. ."
