WASHINGTON, D. c.. May Tn re-

the forestry policy. Senator Depew, of
New York, to-day in the Senate spoke
in defense of forestry reserves and
the reforestation of denuded lands.
only the other day, he said, New
York state received 100000 trees
from Germany for use in reforesting
the Adirondacks.
He commended the action of Presl-
dent Cleveland In inaugurating the
Hystem of forest reserves by setting
inside 2G,000,000 acres, which was in
creased to 40.oo0.o00 under President
Mckinley. and is now 150000,0Oo acres.

off the forests of the Adirondacks was
enormous. and every spring the news

Mr.. Teller said that the work of New

than the labor cost of similar work
in the United States. although there
was no reason for 1t.
Are the men now in charge Of this
work honest?' Mr.. Underwood inquir-
ed.
They are" They are not only alb
solutely honest" Mr.. Tawney replied
but the most capable men ever in
charge of that work.
The chair sustained the point of or
der against the provision, and it went
out of the bill. There was also strick-
en- from the bill, on point of order
by Mr.. Underwood, the provision re-
quirinG that all expenditures from the
appropriation of $27,6oOooO for the
Panama Canal shall be paid from the
proceeds of the sale of Panama bonds.
Speed. Not Economy.
Against vigorous arguments by
Messrs. Boutcll, of Illinois, and Hughes,
of New Jersey. the wage provision was
declared in order after Mr.. Macon, of
Arkansas, had reoffered 1t as proviso
to the first paragraph of the bill
Mr.. Boutell declared that the provi-
sion sought to tie the hands of the
canal commission in the employment
of labor The speedy building of the
canal. he contended, was more impor-
tant than that it should be built
| cheaply.
In the opinion of Mr.. Hughes, the
United States was being put in position
of being the first employer of labor tc
cut wages because of the panic.
| Mr.. Tawney declared he could moi
understand how anybody could want
more favorable work from the condi-
| lions that exist on the isthmus, anL
he thought an increase of 25 per cent
of wages in addition to the advantages
offered on the isthmus ought to be
sufficient. Men, he said, were clamor-
ing for these places now. and woulc
jump at them at an increase of % pei
cent over wages paid in the United
States.

The meeting Of the Manchester and
Chesterfield Business Mems Association
last night by far exceeded the expccta-
tons of the most sanguine as to re-
suits, for besides completing the asso-

far as organization is concerned, there
was ample time for a general discus

terest Of the city. and before the meet
ing was over many matters had been
Informally taken UP and discussed.
While no official outline was planned,
nevertheless the method OF procedure
Is practically understood, and when the
body gets down to real work there
will be nothing but clear sailing be-
fore them.
1t has been predicted time and again
that many would apply for member
ship at this meeting. but no one
thought for an instant that there would
be as many as twenty new names en-
rolled However, this was the case,
and there are quite a. few more, who
have declared their intention Of join
ing though they were not present last
night
No standing committees were APP
pointed, but the report of the bylaws
committee was received and, with a
few amendments, adopted. A special
membership committee, consisting OF
thirty. was appointed. They will pass
upon all members, resident and non
resident, and will solicit the member
ship OF desirable people.
The committee is only temporary.
and will report at the next meeting.
The bylaw committee left the dates
of monthly and annual meetings open,
and after few suggestions. the first
Tuesday in each month was selected
as the monthly meeting day. and the
first Tuesday in January for the an
nual meeting.
