BEGIN CREAT|ON0F NATIONAL FORESTS

Washington, March 27.-The national forest reservation commission, created under the Weeks law, Is ready to com mence purchasing lands for the creation of national forests in the Appalachian and White mountains, according to an announcement by the department of agri- culture. Under the Weeks bill the Sec retary of Agriculture was authorized to examine locate and recommend to the commission for purchase such lands as in his Judgment may be necessary for regulating the flow of navigable streams. The forestry service has printed cir cular giving information as to where and what kinds of lands are wanted.
 The land purchase will be restricted to the states whose legislatures have con- scented to the acquisition of land by the government for preserving the navigabil- ity of streams. Maine, New Hampshire, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina. Tennessee and Geor- gia have already consented.
 The first lands to be examined for purchase will be in the Appalachian and White mountains, because of their alti- tude, steepness and lack of protection and which are considered to be in class bv themselves.
 The lands will not become game pre- serves, the public still being able to hunt and fish in accordance with state laws.

William c. Gorgas, head of the department of sani- tation, and Colonel George w. Goethals, chairman of the commissioners and chief engineer.

CHINA DELIVERS
 REPLY ID RUSSIA Believed Trouble Is Crow ing More Aggravated TROOPS STILL REMAIN China Finds Russia Reluctant About Withdrawing Her Troops and
 the War Cloud Is Not
 Disappearing
TROOPS STILL REMAIN

Pelxin, March 27-The Chinese reply to the Russian ultimatum demanding ac- quiescence not later than tomorrow in the demands set forth in the Russian note of February 16 was delivered tonight. ac- cording to announcement by the foreign board.
 It was lengthy document explaining and justifylng the previous answers to China to the representations from St.
 etersburg and there is no doubt 1t makes further concessions.
 The Russian legation believed today the China note would terminate the incl
 dent regarding Russian consular and commercial privileges, but the Chinese have discovered that Russia is reluctant to move her troops, which will start soon, it is believed, China's policy of obstruction towards Russians in the in terior. Accordingly, 1t is thought the whole issue will only be aggravated by the latest exchanges.
 St Petersburg, March 27-A long cabinet council was held today and all tho political parties held conferences. The bourse was very weak owing 10
 the critical political situation and a panic developed in the Moscow bourso. The general opinion Is that Premier Stolypins position Is so weakened that his resignation is the only alterna tive to dissolution of the duma. Rumor at tributed to MT. Stolypin possession of greater powers than he has yet eXer- cised.. It is asserted that he has the Emperors permission to suspend some D ,l.nrc ,f tbn of ha am pire, including Count Witte, if he finds 1t necessary. He already has suspend ed M Trepoff and M Durnoyo, and in Gignation is rapidly rising among all parties.
 China's reply to the Russian ulti- matum was received today by the for eign office and will be submitted to- morrow to the council of ministers The Chinese minister, Sa Yng You, in his advices to the Pekin government effirms the reply is satisfactory in all points, and restores the ancient amity between Russia and China. But a cer- tain skepticism Is felt here in view of the disappointing nature of previous replies from China, which were lnvari- ably described as satisfactory, where- as. in a skllfull way, they negatived Russia's contentious
 The Movie Vreyma warns China that military action by Russia probably will be followed by the occupation of Man churia by the Japanese. Nevertheless, according to information furnished by the foreign office and the ministers of war and finance, it would appear that the Japanese negotiations re- gardins cooperation In the Chinese sit nation have given a negative result, Japan declining to assist Rusisa active ly. claiming that Japan's commercial interests in China prevent her doing more than offer conciliatory counsel or her good offices as mediator. Inquiries made by Russia to the administration et Tolkio with reference to co-operat ton referred to the fact that Russian dip lomacy supported Japan actively dur
 ing the latter's controversy with China respecting the Antung railroad.

MT. Taft Win Not Pardon
 Bankers Morse And Walsh

sham recommended that inasmuch as Walsh will be paroled under the new federal law next September. justice would be better served If executive clemency were not extended to him.
 In the case of Morse it Is understood that the Attorney General was adverse to any immediate relief, but recom- mended that if there was to be com mutation 1t should be such as to make the sentence expire In five years.
 In that event Morse would be released after serving three years and eight months. which includes the usual allow ance for good behavior. Morse began serving his sentence in January, 1910, and Walsh two months later.
 An official statement was issued at the department of justice today declaring re- ports that Morse is in critical condi- tion are without foundation.
