Republicans Fear They May
 Lose Several States
FOREST RESERVE MIDDLE
Many People of the Far West Do Not Like the Policy of the Administra- ton Relative To Reserves
 of For est Lands.

Washington, May 16-(Special. )-Thera Is new group of doubtful states, ac-
 cording to computations of political sta tisticians. They base the classification upon studies of conditions west of the
 Missouri Valley in the mountains and Pacific west
 In Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah and California there has been for a long time
 bitter antagonism to the forest policy Of the government. However good a thing 1t is for the whole country to have one third of the area of big state with drawn from settlement and set aside IS forest reserves, it certainly doesn't please the people of a new state, which wants immigration and growth, to have such 8 great part of it's wealth withdrawn from development.
 It has been charged repeatedly on the floor of the House and Senate that Idaho and Montana especially have had their development stunted and greatly impaired by the forest reserve policy So much has this affected the people of those states that demand may be made to insert a
 plank in the platform promising to drop the present forest policy.
 In the aggregate the vote of this group of states is considerable. The democrats believe they are more doubtful than states of the middle west, and they are getting quietly ready to unmask some batteries out in the far west which will keep the republicans busy replying. For one thing the democratic literature will quote extensively from speeches made i by reptiblicans, eondemning the forest policy and showing that this republican programme is running the opportunity for growth in these states. Republicans from the west admit that the outlook is cause for concern.

Financial Legislation.

While the action of the Senate in promptly throwing out the Vreeland bill passed by the House leads many to pre- dict that there will be no currency legis- lation at this session, the best opinion is that a measure of some kind will become law before adjournment. That it will be a measure more along the lines of the Aldrich bill than the Vreeland bill is thought likely. The Senate and the speaker is a hard combination to beat and the latter Is generally understood to favor the Aldrich measure. The plan is to make a few concessions to the repub- lican belligerents in the House and then ask them to step up and take their med icine. The republican leaders agree that there must be passed for political neces- sities bill, and any old thing that can be entitled currency legislation" will serve the purpose.
 Hefln's Amendment.
 Among the most important provisions contained in the agricultural appropria- tion bill, which becomes law next week, is that inserted by Representative Hefin of Alabama, revolutionizing the gather ing of agricultural statistics for crop re- ports. The department here, under the provision, is to secure the reports itself. Anticipating the passage of the measure the department is already requesting members of Congress to furnish it with the names of reputable farmers through out the country who are to send them re- ports at short intervals.

TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE.
Three Persons Killed and Nearly
Forty Injured.

Piqua, O., Aug. 12.-Three persons
were killed and nearly forty others
were injured, several of whom are not
expected to survive, when two limited
suburban electric cars of the Western
Ohio Traction company collided at
sharp curve a few miles north of here.
Both trolley cars were late and in
addition to the usual high speed are
said to have been making up lost
time. 1t is said that the southbound
car from Sidney had orders to reach
and lay over at seldom used siding
just south of Sidney, there to wait I'M
til the northbound car from here
passed. AS the southbound car round
ed a curve just before reaching the
switch the northbound car hove in
sight, approaching at a high rate of
speed. In an instant there was a
crash. The southbound car was tele-
scoped and almost completely reduced
to splinters. 1t was on this car that
the greatest number were injured.
The passengers in neither car had
the slightest warning and were hurled
forward by the impact which so sud
denly checked their flight. Thrown
In heaps among the broken seats and
shCwered with glass and splintered
timbers they heard the crashing and
tearing as the big coaches locked their
vestibules. Few escaped without some
minor hurt.
