WASHINGTON. D. O. , July 23. The win-
tlous of capital nnd labor were brought to
the attention of the &enato today In two
pocches. The first of thorn wns made by
Mr. Poffor and was based on n resolution
previously offered by him Instructing tbo
judiciary committee to Inquire into that sub
ject nnd us to what legislation wns necessary
to protect the right of employe * to fair rates
of wages. The other speech wus made by
Mr. Cnll nnd wns directed chiefly against the
Plnitorton detective force as an unauthorized
nrmed organization.
Mr , Poflor's resolution was referred to the
committee on education and labor.
Tile nnti-ooUon bill occupied tbo attention
of tha senate for tbu remainder of tbo day's
session , und senators really bad the air ot
being deeply Interested In the subject. Mr.
White's speech was listened to with very
close attention , although it covered nearly
* ix hours in tbo two days that ho occupied
iho floor. The bill went ever without ac
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. George is to ipeaK tomorrow in sup
port of the bill.
The sonata passed , without question , the
bouso bill authorizing commercial retaliation -
, tion oiv-Canaila.
I'rirer Alnkes a Few Suggestion ! .
Mr. Poffcr , In his address on the rotations
of omployar.s and omnloyos , referred to the
troubles at Homestead , and said the employ-
on * at that nlacoVworo protected by the
power of thu stnto inkooplng their old work
men out und in bringing in" now men. The
troops surrounded their mills. 1 bo pro
prietors were protected , while tbo
worumen were sent to Jail. The country ,
ho said , was face to fnco with one of tbo
greatest phases of the labor problem , and
there wcro but three peaceful waystmt of It.
Thn first was for the government to keep Its
bands off both parties and lot the employers
Bud the employed settle the matter between
themselves. And tboy wonld do It and do It
without n resort to nrins. Ho know i hat wns
not a palatable way of settling tha matter.
Another way wus for tbo government to
establish und rogulnto rates of wages to em
ployes and to see thnt they rccoivod them
justly. That way would doubtloas bo re
garded as unconstitutional nnd revolution
ary. There wns still nnothur way. It was
for the government to do with those grant In
stitutions as It did with the private lands of
citizens when It needed them for public use
tuko possession of thorn , condemn them In tbo
public interest , nay for them and conduct them
us public institution * . Senators would
doubtless agree nmung themselves that this
way wus moro revolutionary than either of
tba others. The employe had the same riebt
( no more , no loss ) than tbe employer has.
But oa the situation now is , and as the law
now Is , there is but ono party to the con
tract protected , aud there never bad boon so
plain and forcible nn example of the fact ns
thntnt Homcfttead , whore there were 10.0UO
troops to protect the QUO party to a con
tract.
Mr. i'offor expressed bis belief that congress -
gross had the right , constitutionally , to pro
tect citizens of tbo United Slates nuywboro.
It ulso had tha right , ho claimed , to dotor-
nilnu for Itself when and where a private
business bad gene to tbo extent of its useful
ness and whan It was tlmo for the govern
ment to interfere.
Uliltci'K Talk ARiilimt the Autl-Oitloii | Hill ,
Mr. Cull then spoke against tbo Pinker-
tons and at tba conclusion of bis speech the
anti-option bill was tukon up and Mr. Whlto
resumed bis nrcumont ( begun yesterday ) in
opposition to It. Ho called attention to the
anomaly thnt , If the bill had not specially ox
copied the Government of the United States ,
tbo government would have been amcnuolo
to the penalties of the bill. Were not nil
bids of the sunplios ( ho nskcd ) that were
tendered to the government made by parties
wbo did not , at the tlmo contracts were
mudo , own the supplies ! Tha coal which
thuy contrnctod to furnish they hud tbcm-
Eolvos to oontrnet for wltb tbo miners who
had still to mlno it. Uoforring to the fact
that the retail dealers were oxcoptcd ,
Mr. Wblto snld there were so many
exceptions In the bill tbnt It
might well bo called an exceptional
bill , so utterly cxcoutlomil tbut be thought It
ought to bo beaten , 'Iho mind of tbu honor
able bonntor from Minnesota , Mr. Whlto
paid , had been so clouded by the lutcresl
fiilttyblm in the measure that bu ( Mr ,
Washburn ) saw justice and freedom w hero
bo ( Mr. Whllo ) saw slavery and oppression.
Jlo discussed the effects which the bill would
Have , ( la declared It to ba pernicious am
Vlciouh. It would strike a blow nt the commerce
merco or tbo country , thu length and breadth
mid width and depth of which no human
mind could compass until 1'a results of ciis-
nstor wcro wonted out. There wat a con
census of opinion on tbu part of the great
cominorclnl bodies at the country nguinsttho
measure. In proof of tills ho sent to the
fl'irlt'f desk and bad road a resolution of the
Chamber of Commerce of the of city Now
York , the bankers of Now VorK , Chicugo
nud Now Orleans and otbor commercial bed
ics in many cities , protesting ngalnst iho
pnssngo of tha bill , Wuro thoio grcnt asso
ciations , ho abitod , more bodies of degraded
mm abandoned gamblers and yut thnt wus
Iho Inevitable out como of the arguments In
support of tba bill.
( loud ICIIeutu of the "Kiltnro" Synloin ,
Speaking of the system of "futures , " Mr.
Wblto said that before this system came
Into cxlstonco tbo cotton business waa con
fined to largo capitals. Lnrgu fortunes were
required 10 carry and bold tbo product ,
whereas now. under the system of future
delivery , all men were on a footing of equal
Ity , and men with small capital were tha
equal of men with Urge capital. As to the
ctfcct of the future system on wheat , Mr
Wblto quoted Mr , PilUbury's testimony before
foretba bouno commlltou on agriculture , to
the effect that for thu last ton years the
millers had paid more for their wheat than
they had eot from tbo ( tour made from it ,
If that were the case , Mr , White would liuo
to know what became of tbo argument thut
Under the future system the farmers did not
roculvo for their wheat as rauoh as they
otherwise would have dono. lie mudo a
comparison of the fluctuations In tbo price o
cotton bufora and since tbofuturo period nni
assarted that the range of fluctuations was
grouter before than it has bean since.
With these figures staring him In tbo face
nu dared not , bo said , vote for the bill. His
[ iidgmont was that the effect ot It would oo
to brine con fusion , disarrangement and tur
moil into tbo commercial organization of the
whole world , and that iho cost of it to the
people of tbo southern states would bo fron
K.0,000,000 to $ dO,000,0K ( ) . And wbnt good
could U del Wns there not a cotton ex
change where futures were dealt In In Liver
pool ) Were tbero not cotton exchanges 01
the continent of Europe ) houddrd ; a few
days ago ho received u copy of a charter o
in exchange at Hamburg und a letter from a
CJcrmun merchant stating that ho bad no
ticed that there was an intention to strlka
uowu the buvluass und thut ho hoped I
would coma to them. Uo wus unwilling to
transfer that vast sum of money out ot tbo
lockets of the southern ttutos Into tb
twokots of the people ol Europe. Mr. Wblto
poke for nearly three hour and when h
cloned the bill wont over without action uutl
tomorrow.
I'Hitud with Comment.
The liouio bill to enforce reciprocal com
borcUl fcrranucmeuli between the United
Itatci and Canada was then taken up , read ,
nd was passed without nny explanation and
vithoutn division.
Mr. Washburn , referring lo the fact thnt
11 commercial organizations of Minneapolis
ind boon represented by Mr. Whlto as
opposed to tha anti-option bill , said that ns a
matter of fact there wui only one commer
cial body thoro. That was the Chamb&r of
/o in merco and its protest bad boon made
under n misconception. An attempt had
been mndo to have It believed thut iho bill
vould prohibit nil dealings In futures , but
vhon tno elevator men , tbo warehouse men
md nil the grain men found that It did not
n the slightest decree tntarforo with future
deliveries , whcro there was actual tiropcrty.
hey bad chanced their minds nnd their ut'.t-
ude In regard to tha bill.
Adjourned.

JUDGE AIIIUA8' NOMINATION.
Democrats Will Oppoxo HU Confirmation nft
n Jugtlco of the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , July 2'J. The sennto
udlclnry committee mot for tbo first tlmo to
day slnco tbo anti-option bill was disposed
of by It and took up the nomination of Mr.
shims to bo a justice of the supreme court ,
but after consideration of un hour adjourned
until tomorrow.
It was evident at the session of the com
mittee that the nomination Is not to bo con
firmed without opposition. This will not
probably tnko the shape of dilatory tactics in
committee intended to prevent the report of
: ho nomination to the senate. Messrs.
Mitchell and Plntt were the only republican
members of the committee in attendance ,
nnd , in fnot , uro tbo only repub
lican members in the city , while
the four democratic- members were
present. The latter could easily break a
quorum and prevent a report If so disposed ,
but it is probable that they will content
themselves without expressing any dissatis
faction they may fool towards the nomina
tion by voting to recommend Its rejection.
Thus the matter will bo brought before the
sennto , and this , nftor all , is what Mr.
Shlras' friends de lro ( although of course
tboy would bo batter pleased with u favora
ble report ) for they feul confident that the
nomination will easily command u majority
when the qi'ostlon is put on confirmation.
But Mr. Call's influence is said to huvo been
put forth with marked cftoct among the
democratic senators nnd , aided by Mr. But
ler , ho has reminded them of the assistance
rendered by him In defeating the elections
bill and in passing the silver bill , as reasons
why they should support his opposition to
tbo nomination the outcome Is doubtful.
It Is probable that the judiciary committee
will act upon tbo nomination tomorrow and
thus transfer the subject to the senate.

of ono mnn today the bill for the relief of
the settlers on the Dos Moines river lands In
Iowa would have passed the houso. Me-
Mllllu of Tennessee , a democrat , objected.
The bill was called up during tbo hour set
apart for tbo publio lands committee.
McUoa of Arkansas , in the absence of Mr.
Ulloy , had chareo of the measure. Upon
the question of p.issngo of the bill thora
were only two adverse votes. McMlllIn
never hesitates to vote $5,00u,000 or $10,000,000
for the improvement of the rivers and creeks
of Iho south , but tbo prospect of spending
a few thousand dollars for Iho Benefit of
the evicted Bottlers in Jown. oven though
the iconoy is to be exDondod to undo a
wrong committed by the United Stntcs , was
lee much for him.
Ho could not think of allowing tbo bill to
pass if tnero was a single chance to defeat it ,
nnd ho snw tbo chanco. The session wus
but sllmly attended nnd McMlllin raised the
point ot "no quorum. " There wns no tlmo
to drum up the members absent in committee
rooms and nt lunch , und consequently iho
hour expired before the roll call could bo
completed. The bill wns knocked out for
iho lime being , although it has passed the
committee- tbo wholu. Speaker Crisp was
very much Intarostcd in the matter and ho
has promised to glvo Mr. IJolllver a day

providing for tbo survey and transfer to Nebraska -
braska as school lands to muka up for the loss
to tbu stnto of lands not found ID tholr place ,
the Fort Uamlull mlllturv reservation. It U
generally estimated that It will make up for
all school lands lost in place amounting to
14.000 acres. The balance , about 10,000 acres ,
will bo open to settlers under the home
stead law. This may operate also to
relieve .tho settlers lu Boyd county , who
have taken Indian lands which Commissioner
Graft decided could not ba tauon as school
lands.
There are probably no other school land .

WASHI.NOTO * , D. C. , ljr'.J2.
Soantor Paddoctr , from tbo comralttoo Jii
agriculture nnd foroitry , has mida a report
recommending the adoption of his bill pro
viding for the establishment , protection nnd
ndratnlitratlon for publlo fowit reservations
nnd other purposes , which will bo of great
nterost to Bcc readers. It do.ils intelli
gently nnd practically with iho question of
protecting Umber upon lands owned by the
jovcrnmcnt in conjunction with tbo states.
Itnroposcs co-oporutlou between fndoral and
state governments In such a way an to make
the preservation of tbo publlo forest not
only easy and secure , but practically without
cost , making tha surplusage of timber pay
the expenses ,
The report coven eleven closely printed
pages of original matter prepared by Senator
Paddock with great caro. Among other
things the senator says : "Tho United States
government retains somewhat less than 70-
UOO.OOO acres of public domain , which is
designated as tUnber or wood land , mostly
idtuated on the slopes and crests of the west
ern mountain ranges. There uro still some
\\oodlaudHundlsposodof In Minnesota , Wis
consin , and prooably n small amount In
Michigan , Louisiana , Mississippi , Alabama
nnd porbups Florida , but the bulk Hos on the
Rocky mountains. Pacific coast nnd Sierra
mountain ranges , mostly of coniferous
growth ( pines , spruces , firs , cedars und red
woods ) , nnd manly In suuurld regions.
ThU property is at present lolt without
adequate administration , nor Is thora In ox-
Istunco any practicable system nf manage
ment by which tbo timber on It can bo util
ized without detriment to the future of tba
forest growth.
How the Property In Decimated ,
In consequence of the absence of a well de
veloped system of administration tbo value
of this forest property is annually decim
ated by tire and by illegal and wasteful
cutting. Tbo worst damage of lire U not
so much to bo nought in the destruction of
the standing timber , but in the destruction
of the forest floor by which the cbanco of
germinating of seeds and natural roforostn-
tion Is annihilated , and the water regulating
capacity of the forest is destroyed. It Is a
wnll known fact , demonstrated by Eu
ropean experience and practice , that by n
proper system of cutting not only can a
forest bo reproduced without the necessity
of expensive planting and kept continuously
productive , but us yield per acre In quantity
and quality can bo , by proper management ,
increased considerably buyond that of the
vlrpln forest left without management.
"It may bo posslulu by a commonsan o
mnnngomunt nnd more rational methods of
utilizing the timber , having some regard to
the young growth inaugurated , avoid the
necessity of planting at great cost , und to
maintain the present forest resources of tbe
United States in sufficient and over increas
ing productiveness.
"It is also established beyond controversy
that the forest cover and especially the for
est floor ot leaves , twigs , decaying vcgotablo
matter , under brush and root , system , influ
ence tbo regularity of tvuter flow in springs ,
brooks aud river * as well as the state of tbo
ground water level , the presence or absence
of an elHulcnt forest cover detcrmln'ng the
percentage of subterranean or supirliclul
drainaicu.
Facts and Theories.
'Whatever the theories or foots regarding
the influence of forest ureas upon motobrolo-
iricul phenomena und climatic conditions ,
( and these are partly at least still In contro
versy ) there oxUu but little doubt if any
among students and observers In regard to
the influence which a forest cover exerts
upon the water dralnagu and soil condi
tions. Aside , therefore , from the undc-
sirublllty of destroying or unnecessarily
Impairing a valuable resource of male-rial
which can be continuously reproduced on
land otherwise useless , there is strong
reasons wby , especially in regions dependent
upon irrigation for their agricultural de
velopment , favorable forest conditions should
bo carefully maiutaiued.
"Under private ownership forest conditions
are almost inavarmbiy destroyed or deterio
rated for tbo simple reason that the timber
for present use is the only Interest which
private enterprise recognizes In the forest ,
not being concerned in tbo future or In tbo
consequences of mismanagement to adjolners
who have to suffer.
"ThD cession or the publlo domain to the
Individual states with a view to having tbo
states devise method * of conservative man
agement would fail In accomplishing the
object for various reasons. Experience in
the past with such cessions has not proved It
practicable to place restrictions or condi
tions upon such cessions or to enforce them.
Prevent Proponed Loglnliitloii ,
"Tho present proposed legislation keeps In
view the following principles : That the
retention of the publlo timber lauds In tbo
general government and thfllr administration
as such 1s the only proper "policy for all
wooded nroas of tbo public domain which
do not stand ou agricultural land , that only
a full developed and separata sys
tem of management and administration
carried ou by competent man under
expert advice can accomplish the
objects of a rational foromn policy ; that the
object of forest regulations is two fold ,
namely , to maintain doslrablo forest condi
tions with regard to waterllovy , and at the
sumo lima to furnish mitcriul to communi
ties In tbclr neighborhood ; that , whllo the
service of protection of water sheds would
warrant an expenditure out of other funds
for such service. It should nevertheless pay
for Itself by tha bale of surplus forest ma
terial.
"Tho proposed logliUtlon contemplates
a segregation of the timber lands that nro
ittundlng on now agricultural soil from the
other publio lands and tbo transfer of their
administration from tbo Department of In
terior , where lands are held only lor dis
posal , to tbo Department of Agriculture ,
which Is designed to look after cultural
matters , and where a bureau in charge ot
foresty already exists. "
Thinks tha Ticket Will Will.
"It Is a magnificent tlckot and will be
elected , " said Senator I'ottlgrew today , in
reference to the republican nominations
mndo yesterday In South Dakota , "All of
the best elements of the party and nvoca-
ttons In the state have boon recognized , " tbo
senator continued , "and It will draw more
than tbo full strength of tbo party , bhul
don , the nominee for governor , in an honora
ble , hard working , practical , and not a
theoretical agriculturist. Ho made the host
speeches .wo have ever hoard In the state , Is

at the sauio tlmo everybody has confidence
In him. Ho Is a clean , able mnn. Jlorroid ,

appreciate tba confidence paid their special
frlond.
"I am glad to sue they have rerogulzed the
Bluok Hills by tbo nomination of Lucas for
congrosi , although I um sorry to see Jolloy re
tired , for ho has been an Intelligent , faithful
and effective representative. There are men
from every section of tbo state on the ticket

formal acceptance by the United States gov
ernment of the offer of Chill to pay $75.000 In
gold In sottlomoot of ttio claims for indem
nity to the victims of'the riotous assault
upon thn sailors of the Baltimore
in Valparaiso was 'formally presented
today to the counsel of state. Mr.
Foster , the American counsel of state , origin
ally demanded the payment of $110,000 , but
accepted the offer of 175,000 without protest.
A bill making an apprpprlatlon for the pay
ment of tbo indemnity will bo drawn up by
tbo counsel of state .and sent to congrcs
at its present session.nnd Senor Errazuriz ,
minister of foreign affairs , told mo today
be bad no doubt tbo appropriation would bo
mndo by congress , although I have good au
thority for the Btatament that tbero Is
likely to Do a livolydlscussion of the bill.
To Minister Errazuriz and Secretary Bos-
cuuan belongs tbo credit of bringing the
negotiations to a satisfactory termination.
'Iho Chilian government Is not disposed to
como to a hasty conclusion In the case pre
sented by Minister Egn asking Indemnity
for tbo kllllncof Fireman Shields by tbo
residents ot tbo "tough quarter" of
Valparaiso , soon after tbo assault
upon tbo sailors.- . tbo United States
cruiser Baltimore. In which Klggin and
Turnbult wore killed. Shields was a sailor
on the American ship Kcovvocnaw and was
killed during a quarrel. When Minister
Egan presented the claim for Indemnity the
Chilian minister of foreign affairs , Senor
Errazuriz , replied that the case wns en
tirely different from tbo Baltimore affair
Ho said tbo sailors of tbo Baltimore were
ashore on leave and were tbo uniform of the
United States. Their cases could not bo
compared with that of Shields , who was n
drunken deserter and his case must stand
alone und upon Us on n merits. ,
Evidence In bis case boa been taUon by tbo
