WASHINGTON. June IA pre-
liminary report of the consumption
Of pdlpwood and the amount OF pulp
mani /. 'ured last year has just been
issued by the Bureau OF the Census,
The advance statement is made from
the statistics collected by the Census
Bureau in cooperation with the
United States Forest Service.
Many OF the figures bring out in
.esting facts which show the rapid
growth Of the paper making and
allied industries, during the last
decade. Nearly four million cords of
wood, in exact numbers 3,oo2,6o0
cords, were used in the United States
III the manufacture OF paper pulp last
year, lust twice as much as was used
in 1896. the first year for which de
tailed figures were available More
than two and one-hslf million tons
Of pulp we're produced. The pulp
mills used 100000 more cords OF
wood in 1907 than in the previous
yea.
The amount OF spruce used was
69 per cent Of the total consumption
OF pulpwood, or 100000 cords. The
increased price of spruce has turned
the attention OF paper manufacturers
to a number OF other woods. hem
lock ranking next, with $4,000
cords, or IA per cent OF the total con
sumption More than 9 per cent was
poplar, and the remainder consisted
Of relatively small amounts OF pine.
cottonwood, talsam and other woods.
There vas a marked increase last
year in the importation Of spruce,
which has always been the most pop
ular wood for pulp. For a number Of
years pulp manufacturers Of this
country have been heavily importing
spruce from Canada, since the avail
able supply Of this wood in the north
central and New England states,
where most of the pulp mills are To-
cctcd, is not equal to the demand.
Figures show that the amount OF this
valuable pulpwood brought into this
country was more than two and one
hill .imes as great in 1907 as in 1890
In 1907 the importations were larger
than ever before, being Is per cent
greater than in 1906. The spruce i'm
ports last year amounted to more
than one-third OF the consumption OF
spruce pulpwood. Only slightly
greater amount of domestic spruce
was used than in 1906.
Large quantities of hemlock were
asad by the Wisconsin pulp mills,
and the report shows that the Badger
State now ranks third in pulp pro-
duction. New York and Maine rank
ing first and second, respectively.
Poplar has been used for long time
in the manufacture Of high grade
paper, but the supply of this wood is
limited and the consumption OF it |
has not increased rapidly.
Wood pulp is usually made by
either one Of two general processes,
or chemical. In the
mechanical process the wood, after

The adjournment of Congress gives
the Republican senators a chance to
get ready for the Chicago Conven-

Without them there would be no
cohesion of party, liberty would
languish and the convention would

 John F.. Behan, deputy clerk at that time in the office of the clerk to the board of supervisors. was the first wit ness called. His examination, which consumed the entire afternoon session was interrupted for half an hour by the appearance of d deputy sheriff stating that Ruef was wanted across the hall in Judge Lawlor's court as a witness for the prosecution in the trial of Tirey L. Ford, general counsel for the United Railroads. also on trial for alleged bribery.

This was introduced by Heney. Henry Ach. chief counsel for Ruef, kept up running fire of objections to the questions put to the witness by Heney. Almost without exception the objections were overruled by Judge DOoling. Behan was still on the stand when the court adjourned.
 At the request of the defense all the witnesses except the one on the stand were excused from the court room. Ruef tooksa lively interest in the pro- eeedings 4h8 busied himself taking notes.

Santa Barbara. Cal, April 29.-After a stay of five days at this port the Atlantic fleet of battleships will sail tomorrow morning at o'clock for Monterey the next scheduled stopping place in the long itinerary. The dance of flowers tonight in honor of the of ficers of the fleet. in which forty young women Of Santa Barbara's SO ciety took part. was the closing fea- ture of the entertainment here. The dance was given in the Plaza Del Mar. where large tent had been erected.
 The visit to santa Barbara has been replete with social functions in honor of the officers. The spectacular flower parade on Monday last eclipsed any thing seen in the entire cruise from Hampton Roads. But the stay of the enlisted men here has not been an entirely happy one. There was no special entertainment for them. and they were allowed to go their ways without official attention of any sort Some of the residents of Santa Bar bara today enueavOred to arrange a barbecue in honor of the enlisted men

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
 CROWDS THE MAJORITY
The Minority Leader Tries to Secure AC-
 tiOn on Wood Pulp Bill
The Senate Further Entertained by MT. Davis of Arkansaw--a Disagreement On the Naval ApprO- pratiOn Bill.

Washington. April 29.-John Sharp Williams today gave the republican majority of the house an opportunity either to permit or refuse to permit a vote on the Stevens bill to place wood pulp on the free list In the course of cleverly humorous and sa- tirical speech, he unrolled and hcfd to view the following petition to Speaker Cannon bearing the signatures of 164 of the 166 democratic members: We the undersigned representatives in con- gress, request. each for himself and each for each other, that you recognize one of us, or if you prefer, some other representative. to move the discharge of the committee on ways and means from it's further consideration. suspend the rules and pass the Stevens bill or any other bill having the effect of put ting wood pulp and print paper on the free list
 Mir. Williams said that the two dem Ocratic members whose names were not appended to the position were out Of town. but efforts were being made to reach them by wire. When these signatures were added he said only 30 republican names will be needed to swell the strength of the petition to the proportions of majority request, which MT. Williams said with good na- tured sarcasm. he felt sure the speaker would heed.
 A table had been placed on the floor in front of the stenographer's bench, and on it the petition was spread with Rankings of ink bottle and pen. The minority leader, stimulating the eoice and manner of a revivalist, exhorted the republicans to rise. go forward and sign up, pleading for thirty. only thirty" and asked :are there not thirty who would come forth?'

 Captain Grant. chief of staff, dis cussed al length the plans for enter ing and archoring in San Francisco
 Bay In reply to the criticisms of the local authorities of San Francisco of
 the plans, Captain Grant stated that
 the whole program was outlined by
 the secretary of the navy and the
 fleet had but to obey the orders given. Admiral Thomas part of the program extended only as far as designating the ships which shall occupy each par ticular berth.
 It will be necessary he stated to maintain d clear path of considerable width from the entrance tO the bay to Hunters Point to allow for the safe passage of the fleet.
