per In the u. S. district court has just
sentenced the Stearns salt and lumber
company of Ludington, Mich, to pay a
fine of $4,000 for accepting rebates
from the Pere Marquette railroad on

accepted for the company by clerks
without the knowledge of the com
pany's officers. These rebates amount
ed 10 only few hundred dollars.
Judge Knappen, in passing sen
tence, inflicted the minimum fine OF
each count, $1,000, $4,000 in all. Th'

Washington ID. C.-The White
mountain forest reserve proposition
has entered a new phase.
It is now proposed that the rivers
and harbors committee shall investi-
gate the question whether the preserva-
ton of the forests would affect the
navigability of .rivers.
The fate of the Currier-Lever bill
providing for forest reserves in the
White Mountains and southern Appa-
lachians appears to rest upon the set
Element of that question. When the
judiciary committee of the house meets
next Friday, 1t is stated, a motion will
be made that this question be referred
to the house committee on rivers and
harbors with request that 1t be re-
ported on within 10 days.
The judiciary committee has had be-
fore it for several weeks the constitu-
tional and legal questions involved in
the Currier-Lever bill and report has
been prepared by Representative Brat
ley of Georgia holding the proposed
law to be constitutional. 1t has not
been adopted by the committee, how
ever
Settlement of the constitutional ques-
tion now seems to depend upon the de-
termination of the single question of
fact, whether the navigability OF
streams is affected by the forests on
their watersheds
That this is the sole question in
volved was declared to urge the hear
ing on the Bartlett resolution before
The Judiciary committee. Forester Pin
chot and Allen Hollis of Concord, N.
H., secretary of the forestry association
of New Hampshire, called this matter
to the committees attention.
Representative Lawrence and other
members of the rivers and harbors
committee being called upon to decide
| the question referred to, are already
looking up the matter. They Will not say
what their committee will do as yet,
of course. but it Is believed that a re-
port will be made declaring that the
navgability of rivers is seriously inn
paired by the destruction of forests In
the White Mountains and elsewhere.
Scientists, forestry experts and wa
terway experts agree there is nc
doubt that the rivers of different parts
of the country are constantly sitting
ND as a result of the denudation OF
their watersheds, whose forest cover
formerly held the rainfall and let II
flow down by degrees, instead OF run,
ming off in freshets, which carry vast
quantities of solid matter TO choke III
the river channels.
A determination of this question al
this time will strengthen the cause o
forest reserves, it is believed by it'
friends.

Administration al Washington Also
Mystliled at castrO's Sentiments.
Washington, d. C.--Administratio
oflcials expressed amazement over the
statements In President Castro's Of
flcial organ, Ell Constitutional, having
as their basis the incident.Of the open
ing of the mail pouch of the cruiser
Tacoma. The editorial received the
closest attention. Mingled with the
feeling of amaZement over the senu-
ments of President Castro is one OF re-
gret and mystification over the whole
course Venezuela has pursued In deal
ing with the United States.
"The United States has been a good
friend TO Venezuela" said a high Of
fetal OF the state department Twice
within the last 10 years we have gone
TO Venezuela's aid when that country
badly needed assistance" For this
reason he could not understand VIII!

In President Cleveland's second tern.
when Great Britain was threatening to
encroach on Venezuela's territory. Mr..
Cleveland sent message to congress
which had the result of referring the
question to The Hague for impartial
determination. Again, several years
later when the allied powers were
threatening a blockade of Venezuelan
ports to compel payment of her for
sign obligations, the United States,
through Minister Bowen, stepped in and
averted such a step Again the ques-
tion was referred to The Hague.
The navy department has just re-
ceiyed a report from Commander John
Hood of the cruiser Tacoma containing
details touching the opening OF the
mail carried by that vessel at the La
Guaira postofice. 1t agrees substan-
tally with the published statements
and the officials are satisfied the open
ing was inadvertent.
All the correspondence on the Vene'
zuelan question is now before con
gress. Administration officials frankly
admit they will not be surprised shouic
there be some delay. The issues pre-
sented are out of the ordinary, an'

LAD LONG Hard swim.

Portland. Me.-With a heavy sea

b6at Ben Hur jumped overheard with
onlv one life preserver between them,
and guided by the fog whistle at the
Two Lights, Cape Elizabeth swan

and were picked up unconscious py
the life savers.
The steamer Ben Hur, Captain Al
bert Perry and Engineer eugene
thomson. left Portland harbor with
water for the light ship, about "a
miles from this city. When they had
hean out but short time, the tubes
hlew out OF the boiler and with no
steam and night settling 1t began 10
look desperate for the two men.
A northwest snow storm began
shortly after, and for hours the waves
dashed over the little steam tug. Ihe
wind blew so hard and 1t was so colo
that neither the captain nor the engl-
neer could light lantern, and the
boat was not only at the mercy OF the
terrible sea that was running, but di'
rectly in the path of navigation.
After, five hours of being tossed
about and storm-beaten and expecting
any minute to go to bottom, Captain
Perry decided to swim ashore. Guid
ed by the fog whistle at the Two
Lights, Cape elizabeth, the men swan
as best they could, impeded as they
were by heavy clothing and the blind
ing snow.
How long they were in the water
they do not know, but when they had
given up all hope, and were about tt
relinquish their hold upon the life
preserver, they were seen and picked
up by the night patrol of the Cape
Elizabeth life saving station more
dead than alive.
