"Throughout tho negotiations Rus

MARINE MATTERS
VICVS OF SECRETARY MORTON
ON THE SUBJECT.
SESSIONS OF THE COMMISSION
To Build Up Shipping Interests We
Must Meet Competition of Other
Nations Rear Admiral Hartlngton
Reads a Letter from Morton.
WASHINGTON Tho merchant ma
rlno commission resumed its session
Friday. Senator Galllngcr, tho chair
man, announced that tho hearings
wero about concluded, but that tho
commission had thought It proper at
this tlmo to invito naval and post
oHlco department officials to bo pres
ent Friday, tho former to submit
tholr opinion of tho desirability of a
merchant marino as auxiliary to the
navy and tho latter to speak of tho
bonoflts to accruo to tho postal sorv
Ico as a result of an improved mer
chant marine.
Secretary Mctcalf of tho depart
ment of commerce and labor was
also Invited to attend the hearing.
Secretary Morton's views of tho
relations of tho government to the,
merchant marino in tho foreign trado
was that it was simply a question
of competition. Ho said that In or
der to build up a large American ship
ping interest in this country it wilt
bo necessary to meet the competition
of other nations. It will further bo
noccssary, he declared, to In somo
way recognize tho mail contracts, tho
subsidies, tho bonuses and tho pre
miums of Germany, England and other
countries. The American owner of
sea-going craft and tho American sail
or, ho said, must bo given equality
in all respects if they aro not to bo
handicapped by foreign competition.
It was his idea that all ships built
In this country should bo constructed
In accordanco with plans approved by
tho navy department, so that in caso
of war tho department could mako
good and efficient uso of them. Ho
added that he was not sure but that
tho seamen also should havo a naval
training.
Rear Admiral Luce read n letter re
cently submitted to him by Secretary
Morton, to bo laid before tho commit
tee, in which ho referred to tho de
pendence of the merchant marino nnd
the navy. Ho asserted that tho mon
ey paid to foreign carriers of pro
ducts of this country went to enrich
tho countries with which tho United
States might Bomo day bo at war,
thereby Indlcctly adding to tho navies
of thoso countries and their naval re
servos at tho expenso of our own.
Ho favored subsidies as tho means of
building up tho merchant marino.
Declaring that it wns through nurs
ing a parltlcular British Industry, tho
carrying trade, that England owed
her supremacy of tho sea today, Cap-
tnln Mnhan Bald that American ship
ping should bo encouraged to como
Into oxlstenco and to competo with
tho carrying trado of tho world.
Rear Admiral Hartlngton favored'
tho building of steel ships, nnd said
that tho laws of tho United States
should be changed so ns to permit
tho merchants of this country to run
American ships as cheaply as foreign
owners could run them. Ho declared
that tho merchant officers of tho Uni
ted States were not all that could bo
desired regarding competence, and
that as regarding education and train
ing they did not compare favorably
with foreign merchant officers.
THE PRESIDENT SEEN.
An Importan Conference Held at the
White House.
WASHINGTON Interstate trans
port at Ion matters with sDeclflc refer
enco to tho fixing of railroad freight
rates formed tho subject of an Impor
tant conference nt tho Whlto Houso
Tuesday. By previous appointment
Govornor Van Sant of Minnesota,
Governor Cummins of Iown, E P. Ba
con of Milwaukee, chnirman of tho
interstate commorco law convention:
Frank Barry, of Milwaukee, secretary
of tho convention, nnd R. A. Hlgblo
of Now York, an official of tho Na
tional Lumber Dealers' association,
called on tho president to uso his In
fluence to secure tho enactment of a
law which would confer upon tho in
terstate commerco commission power
to fix railroad freight rates in tho com
merco between states.
It was pointed out to tho president
that for ten years prior to 1897 tho
interstnto commerco commission had
exercised fhe power to adjust railroad
freight rates In order to prevent dis
crimination, but that since that tlmo,
by reason of a decision of tho United
States supremo court, that power had
been denied tho commission. It wa3
urged by tlio delegation that a law
bo enncted by congress conferring
upon tho commission authority to ad
Just rotes when they woro found to
bo discriminative in their oporatlon
or in violation of tho intorstato com
merce act. Tho delegation also sug
gested to tho president tho desirabil
ity of discussing tho subject in his
forthcoming message.
Tho president did not indicate, how
over, what his personal views were,
contenting himself with giving a care
ful hearing to the statements mado.
The president has announced the
appointment of Francis E. Leupp ol
this city to bo Indian commissioner,
vlco William A. Jones, resigned. Com
missioner Jones' resignation an1 Mr
Leupp's appointment will take . jffecl
January 1.
Mr. Leupp is tho Washington cor

FOREST RESERVES.
There Appears to Be More Than Is
Really Needed.
WASHING"! ON In his annual re
port for this year Commissioner Rich
ards of the general land offlco recom
mends tho exercise of moro dellberato
consideration of preparations looking
to establishment of forest reserves
than has been exorcised in the past.
Tho report adds: "Both tho import
ance of tho objects to bo accomplish
ed and tho many local interests to bo
considered necessitate great caro in
proceeding further in this direction.
Tho government can well afford at
this Juncture to delay action in estab
lishing additional reserves until tho
forco of forest experts now engaged
upon tho work can, by practical field
examinations and scientific research,
establish oeyond reasonable doubt In
what localities and to what extent fur
ther areas should bo set apart for
this purrose."
During tho last fiscal year nlno ro
serves wero created, bringing tho total
numbor upto flfty-nlno and increasing"
tho aggregate covered by forest reser
vations to 62,703,494 acres.
Tho report shows a falling oft of
$1,741,401 In tho total receipts of the
office as compared with tho previous
year, and a decreaso in tho area of
public land disposed of, amounting to
6 418 477 acres. With the exception of
1903 tho cash receipts wero greater
than nny previous year. Tho patents
Issued for the year numbered C6.386,
and exceeded thoso for any other
twelve months in tho history of tho
office. The receipts were $9,283,341
and the land disposed of aggregated
lo 40&.821 acres. Of this quantity 10,
171,265 acres wero entered under tho
homestead law, 2,353,854 wero patent
ed as railroad selections and 1,306,261
unde. timber and stone entries.
Speakinf of tho frauds committed
under tho timber nnd stono acts Mr.
Rlchn-oB says: "During tho last year
it was decided to use tho corps of
examiners of surveys to investigate in
tho field all applications for surveys
which a'leged settlement and tho re
sult has proven tho wisdom of this
course.
"in tho timber, no real settlement
of any extent was found, but in most
cases a camping hut, without furnl
turo and destitute of tho means of
housekeeping, was all that tho exam
iner could ulscovcr on tho ground. It
wa3 learned fiat these alleged settlers
resided in distant towns and cities and
that they were Induced to lend their
names by promises of rewards after
tho survey was accomplished, evident
ly having no Intention to mako their
homes on tho land. This investica
tlon has resulted in materially check
ing the absorption by unscrupulous
persons of tne timber now standing
on the reserves."
PRESENTS THE IOWA CASE.
Gov.
Cummins Interviews the Acting
Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON Governor Cum
mins left for New JYork Tuesday
night. Ho saw Acting Secretary of
War Oliver' In relation to tho inscrip
tion on the tablets to be erected by
Iowa regiments on the battlefield of
Shlloh. The old contention regarding
the time when tho Iowa regiments,
tho Fifteenth and Sixteenth, entered
the battle, is sill the subject of much
controversy, but Governor Cummins
insists that the reports of tho colonels
of the two regiments, which are tho
only official reports of tho participa
tion ot tho regiments in the fight,
should be accepted. He insists, nfter
a review of tho official reports in the
department that tho only direct evi
dence regarding tho two regiments
come from Colonel Reed and Colonel
Chambers, and that in the nbsence of
other direct ovidenco the Shlloh com
mission should accept those as tho
time when the regiments went into
action. Acting Secretary Oliver decid
ed to hold open the question pending
tho return of Governor Cummins to

ARBITRATION COURT CONVENES
Board at The Hague Will Pass on
Taxing Power of Japan.
THE HAGUE Tho first sitting ot
tho arbitration court on tho Japaneso
houso tax question was held Monday.
Tho United Stntes Is Interested in tho
matter, although not n party to tho
present nrbltration. Tho point at Issue
Is tho contention of Great Britain,
Franco and Gormnny that Japan im
posed taxes on buildings in tho old
foreign concessions, which, being per
petual leases, aro exompt from taxa
tion. Tho United States and other
powers having similar concessions will
accept tho award. Mr. Gram, president
of tho court, who Is one of tho provin
cial governors ot Norway, at tho open
ing of tho proceedings congratulated
tho governments who, by consenting
to submit disputes to international
Jurisdiction, had given fresh proof ot
their attachment to n great and noblo
cause. Ho regretted that tho path of
humanly along tho road of progress
was full of obstacles, but added that
happily tho number of conventions
forming fresh bonds between nations
was dally increasing.

A Teacher's Testimony.
HInton, Ky., Nov. 28. (Special.)
It has long been claimed that Diabe
tes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thomp
son, teacher in the HInton school,,
has pleasing evidence to tho contrary.
Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. Ho took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and Is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr. Thompson says:
"I was troubled with my kldneya
for more than two years and was
tieatcd by two of tho best doctors in
this part of tho state.- They claimed
I had Diabetes and there was littlo
to bo done for me. Then I started
to uso Dodd's Kidney Pills and what
they did for me was wonderful. It
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney
Pills that I am now enjoying good
health."
Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes Is incurable. But Diabetes
is a kidney disease, nnd the kidney
disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure has yet to be discovered.
