Lincoln joined party of emigrants travelling into
the wilderness and was soon engulfed in its great
depths
Once there the greed for land absorbed him for
a time, and he located large tracts in various
parts of the wilderness. In Washington county, on
a little creek bearing his name Lincoln, he under

returning to Virginia he made ready to bring his
family out to Kentucky
Through the wilderness with only the trail of
emgrants gone before to guide them on their

roadside; living off the game killed with their
rifes-never out of the sound of wild beasts. Day
after day they pursued their journey over the
mountains, through the Cumberland Gap, and into
the valleys of the land of promises leaving farther
and farther behind them each day all traces of
civilization and going deeper and deeper all the
while into the haunts of the wild Indians, of
whose presence they were often made aware by

Al no time in the history Of Zionism is It
more necessary than now to hold on to the
lundagental principle Of our movement
to obtSin for the Jews that freedom OF mind
and OF body which even in the most enlight-
ened countries Is denied them. This can only
be reslzed when our people are gathered In
the old land. when they are no longer ex-
posed TO the disintegrating influences Of the
other nations In whose midst they live and
oy whom the Jews are considered to be a
disintegratng element
IL lies in our hands to bring about again
Q truer harmony in our relations with the
otner nations and better appreciation of
Jews and Judaism by obtaining the means
70 give free scope to Jewish idealism, to
Jewish energy. to Jewish devotion.
Nonism aims at creating a centre Tor the
iree display OF Jewish genius and of rea wa ken

sound OF moral awakening Of mankind
We may again be called upon to give direo-

ROOSEVELT PRAISES CLEVELAND
Writes to Mrs. Cleveland OF the Ex-Presi-
dents Work TO Save the Forests.

Writes to Mrs. Cleveland OF the Ex-Presi-
dents Work TO Save the Forests.
OYSTER BAY, July 14.-President Roose-
velt made public to-day the following
letter which he sent to Mrs. Cleveland last
Monday:
MY DEAR MRS. CLEVELAND: 1t has recently
been my privilege to sign a proclamation
changing the name OF the San Jacinto Ma
tional Forest to the Cleveland National Forest
May express to you the very great pleasure
1t gave me to take that action-a pleasure
mingled with keen sense of the loss to our
country and to our citizens in the death Of
President Cleveland. On February o. 1897,
President Cleveland signed the proclamat ion
creating the San Jaointo forest reserve in
southern California. The date, February
%, was no mere accident since the signature
OF the proclamation was timed to coincide
with the birthday OF our first President. -
President Cleveland was one Of the first
to recognize the need OF forest preservation,
and the creation of the San Jacintc and other
forest reserves with a total area OF p, ,8Se, $50
acres was one Of the results OF his foresigh
in this direction. Thruout his life he took
great interest In conserving the natural
resources Of the nation and I particularly
regretted his inability to attend the meeting
OF the Governors In May. because that meeting
was In part the fruit Of seed he had sown
years before.
The name Of Grover Cleveland will always
be prominently identified with the move
ment to protect the forests OF the United
States. and II seemed to me eminently fitting
that one Of tho forests which he created
should bear his name thruout all time.
Sincerely yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT,

PINE CAMP BREAKS UP,
War Is Over and the Militia Regiments
Leave Quarter There.


WATERrowN, N. Y, July 14.-By midnight
tonight all the militia participating In the
manoeuvres at Pine Camp will be on the
way to their respective citiee. Peace has
been declared and the war which has been
in progress for the last month 10 at an end.
The last battle was this morning. and at its
conclusion the treaty was signed for year
at least.
Whether the camp will be resumed another
year rests with Congress, backed by such
recommendations as Gen. Grant and the
War Department may make. Last night a
hattie was fought, the problem being that a
Blue army, making the final invasion into
the north, was marching north from
Syracuse.
The commander sent Col. William Pauld-
ing, Twenty fourth United States Infantry,
with a small force, all arms, forward to
seize and hold the bridge at Great Bend.
The Brown army was concentrating at
Ogdensburg and the commanding General
sent Col. James Geddes, Second Connecticut,
with force OF all arms south to destroy the
bridges over Black River to impede the
progress Of the enemy.
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the men carry
| ing their shelter tents, full field equipment
and one uncooked ration each. The
Blues left camp in heavy rainstorm at
9o'olock last night, In the night the Blues
intrenched themselves near the bridge at
Great Bend.
At dawn the artillery OF the Blues doomed
and the battle was on. The advancing &
| Brown cavalry was confused by the firing
and retreated to the main body, which then
| moved up. A heavy cannonade from both
sides was followed by sharp rife firing.
In the fight in the dark 1t 10 said that
| several took the opportunity to settle up
old scores. One militiaman took occasion
| to consign a Regular officer to a climate
,, where snowballs are not. He had no
sooner said the words when the heavy
fist Of a Regular enlisted man struck him
on the jaw. The militiaman dropped.
The opposing forces were as follows:
Blue-Col. William Paulding, Twenty
fourth United States Infantry, command
ing; Major E. F; Taggart, Twenty fourth
United States Infantry, chief Of staff; Third
Twenty-fourth Infantry. First Squadron
Eleventh Cavalry, Battery Z, Third Field

STIR OVER SUBWAY INJUNCTION.
Talk OF Reprisal for HOldup Of the Fourth
Avenue Project.

Chairman William r. Wilcox Of the
Public Service Commission. speaking yea
terday Of Justice Blanchard's action In con-
tinuing the injunction restraining the Board
Of Estimate from approving the contracts
for the Fourth avenue, Brooklyn. subway.
pending q hearing by referee. said that
1t seemed strange to one not on the Board
OF Estimate that the board could go on
appropriating money for various other
public improvements and yet have no
money for subway construction.
rumor was circulated yesterday that
In the way of reprisal against the Comp
troller some one would apply for an in

payment. thus tying up the city from spend.

the Fourth avenue subway 10 approved,
Representatives Of Bird $. Coler. whose
application to appear In the proceedings
before Justice blanchard by private coun-
sci was denied, gave out a statement. yes
terday in the absence OF Mr.. Coler. Inc
statement said in part:
The action OF the Corporation Counsel
In appearing for the Board Of Estimate and
practically eonsenting that 1t be enjoined
from duty. its legal duty. really won the case
for Mr.. Metz. Had the Corporation Counsel
opposed the continuance OF the injunction
and put In afidavits on behalf OF the board
showing that the debt limit was to be in
creased s45, 100000 July 1 there would be
nothing left of the case. There Ia nothing
left OF It now, as far as the merits go.
The increased debt limit leaves no question
for the Court or referee and a motion to
vacate the Injunction based on this fact
would have to be granted. 1t will be inn
possible for the referee to consider and de-
eide any of the nice legal questions raised
az to the debt limit. Including all the items OF
debt claimed by Mr.. Metz the cityfs now well
within its limit, very much more than enough
to cover the proposed subway contracts.
The Court has not decided that the Cor
poration Counsel has an exclusive right to
appear for city boards and officers and to
control their Official action by consenting
to or not opposing decision In a collusive
injunction or mandamus suit. Such Is not
the law. The decision on this point Ia that
the Board of Estimate and not its Individual
members ia the defendant. and 1t having
permitted the Corporation Counsel to appear
for II az board the individual members
cannot appear separately. There may be some
doubt as to this, but there is no question OF
the right OF the board as a whole to move TO
vacate this injunction by it's own counsel
or to require the Corporation Counsel TO do SO
upon afiadyits showing the facts now exist
ing The real trouble Is that the board ad-
journed for the summer before the Court
could act
It was a collusive suit whose sole purpose
was to get an ex parte Injunction and hold
II until the board adjourned 1t will not and
cannot prevent the approval Of these con-
tracts II majority of the board are in favor
of them when it meets In the fall
