Later, however, we took our departure, according to arrangements. in a public manner, but we were guarded by two hundred sol- diers with guns and bayonetS as a protection against the five thousand or more persons who lined the streets, yelling, cursing and threatening us"
 The Premier's Opinion.
 Premier Luzzatti urged upon MT Stuart the advisability of avoiding any retaliatory measures or any dem onstra ton which would be apt to dis turb the peace.

OUTLOOK SEEMS BRIGHTER FOR WEEKS FORESTRY BILL. 1t May Get Through This Session of
 Congress.
Especial to The BulIetin.)

Washington. June 16.-Things are moving down here in behalf of the Weeks forestry bill, and it looks now as though thehe might be good chance to get it through this session of congress. Senator Brandegee yester- day reported the bill from the commit . tee of which he is chairman. The sen- ate committee did not change the bill as reported to the house, except here and there a word and the two com- mittees are working together.
 Senator Brandegee expects to call the bill up in the senate just as soon as the statehood bill gets out of the way. At present the senate is occupied with the land with drawal bill; then comes the conference report on the railroad bill. after which the statehood bill has the right of way. It is probable that all of these measures will be out of the
 way the first of next week, and that will give the senate time to consider the forestry bill Senator Brandegee expresses himself as confident of get ting the bill through the senate.
 In the meantime the New England members of the house have not been idle. The entire New England delega- tion went before the house committee on rules yesterday to urge the commit tee to set day for the consideration of this bill. They were very insistent, and it was agreed a date will be set either Friday or Monday. At all events, word has gone forth that the bill is likely to come up for consideration in the house between Friday and Tuesday. A canvass is now being made of the house and all supporters of the bill are urged to stay in Washington and vote for it. IL is claimed by those who are canvassing the situation that the out look in the house is good for the paSs- age of the bill.
 Taken altogether, the outlook is much brighter at this time than any other time this session for this bill.
