(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 1. (Special.) Senator
Dietrich IS with the Department of Agrl
culture In It desire to establish three
forest reserve In Nebraska. "I believe,"
aid he, ''that email trees could bo grown
ea tho sandhills of our state. So far aa
I can learn, they aro of little value now,
.but with trees planted thereon I believe
they would bo of considerable value to the
generation which will com after us. I
consider It our buslneee to legislate for
the future. I think It the part of wisdom
that the legislator should look beyond
the horlsan which surround them and
place upon the statute book laws which
will stand tb test of time.
"In my travel abroad I have seen sim
ilar conditions aa exist In Nebrsska, so
far as tbe sandhills are concerned. In
Germany f have seen trees grow upon what
looked to be absolutely sterile soil. They
not only change the whole character of
tbo landscape, but become in time pillars,
retaining the soil and enriching It. I want
to do everything for my state I possibly
can, and I believe if w would set apart
three reserves in Nebraska, to be known
aa tbo Niobrara, tho Dismal Rlvsr and the
North P latto reserves, the eitlsen of our
state would reap untold benefit la year to
come." "
The senate library committee baa re
emmendod tho adoption of a Joint resolu
tion appropriating 14,000 for tho erection
In Washington, of ft bronse statu in boner

tional capital (tatties of nearly thirty emi
nent eltlseas. but among thorn there la not
one which marks distinguished service
f Jbdered tbo cation's literature. Senator
Wetmore, chairman of the library commit
tee, discussing the proposed statue, said:
"It Is a grave reproach to us that, while
England has been quick to recognise Long
fellow's eminence by placing his butt la
Westminster Abbey, our own people have
done little to testify the affectloo and pride
with which mtllons regard one who is, be
yond all others, the poet of the American
home and fireside."
The advocates of the proposition to estab
lish a civil service pension list ar some
what disconcerted b the bill Introduced
Into the bouse by Mr. Glllett of Massachu
setts, It provides thst sny office In the
classified service of the United States held i
by a person who at the time of the passage
of the act la not over 70 yara of age ahall

cated before; tbat every offloo ta the clas
stfled service shall become vacant when the
persoa heldlng It ehall become U years eld,
and that b person more thaa M yeare old

has bee favorably reported to the house
by the committee on reform in tbe civil
eervlce. aad Mr. Glllett aaya he Bads many

arguatent if support of his measure I that

FARIB, Feb. I.--(New Tork World Ca

able session of the Academy of Science has
been devoted to the discussion of the real
origin of wireless telegraphy. If Marconi
had been present he would have felt much
annoyed, for among the many " French
eavants assembled or the English and Ger
man experts wooee communications were
read, none was disposed to credit him with
the discovery, but ti.ey seemed to regard
him as only a clever practical experimenter.
According to the documents produced, the
real inventora aro Feddeidaon and Mas
well, both Englishmen, then Herts of Oer-
"nr, out principally rror. Branly. a
Frenchman, who conceived and conatructed
in 1800 the receiver for electrle waves,
which Is still used by Marconi, and next.
Prof. Lodge, an Englishman, who read ft
paper before the electrle congress of 184.
pointing out the possibility of transmit

Branly tube of metalllo filling, wbloh Pos
sibility was actually put Into practice by
a Russian scientist nsmed Popoff In 189.
Mai-cool s experiments only began In
1899, it 1 said, and wer first made publlo
two year ago, together with Slaby' suc
cessful wireless transmission of telegrams
over distance of 100 miles tn Germany by
an altogether different apparatus. It waa
runner asserted tbat the most of Marconi'
patent are worthlesa owing to the fore
going alleged facta. Finally. It was pointed
out that neither the French or the Oermaq
army nor tho English navy la using tho

tained equal to his exploits, except trans

tists unanimously declared la yet un

LONDON, Feb. 1 King Edward and

the .play the king again summoned tbe

There ha been a wonderful change la the

"The Filipino la," be said, "attached first
to bis town and second to his province, and
ho Is, I think, now forming an attachment
for tho name of Filipino. On that pride of
country ana on tbo Filipinos' desire for ed
ucation I base my hope of tbe success of
what we ar doing In tbe Islands."
Ia reply to other questions. Governor Taft
said that bo estimates that from t to 7 per
cent of the people read and write the Bpan-
isn language, but tbat be could not say
what proportion of ths people could write
their own language. One groat difficulty
encountered is tbat tho psoplo of the. dif
ferent provinces do not understand the
language, one of another. Tbe witness said
that many of the 8S5 American teacher ar
engaged in Instructing the Filipino teach
er. They ar scattered over tbe Islands In

ress, notwithstanding their own lack of
knowledga of the natives. Many of tbe
American soldiers bad acted as teachers of
the islander and bad proved very success
ful. The Filipino teachers, be said, were
anxiously availing themselves of the ad
vantages thus afforded. As a rule tho peo
ple appeared anxious to get the education
thua given, but in some eaaes ths priest
were manifesting a disposition to sstablish
parish schools for their people.

he continued, the promlss bad misled him.

There was a lively time at th meeting
ot Lincoln lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons. last week. The Unltsd State
oourt was in session In that city and among
the officers and lawyers in attendance war
a number of Masons who attended th meet
ing in the capital city.
It waa just a coincidence, but with all ot
these prominent Mason present from all

was Initiated Into the order. It was said
tbat Mr. Bryan mad bl advent Jnto tbo
society in a manner which cxoited applause.

ferred. Tho California Conclave club of tha
Knights Templar Is Increasing Its member
ship in a manner satisfactory to all who
are interested in tbe matter. The members
bav not yet made preparations for th
drill team which they desire to take on tb
trip, but such a team will probably bo or
ganised, aa there I sufficient material tor
such aa organisation. Several knlgbu liv
ing in the atato have signified their inten
tion of joining the party, and It probable
tbat ther will be at least 200 men and
women from Omaha at the' conclave.
Capitol lodge, tbe Knlgbu Templar ot
Mount Calvary commandery and Tangier
temple, Noble ot tb Myatio Shrine, ar
meetlsg tn committees at thla time to seek
a distribution of the funds left by Mrs.
Sills to the three bodies, of which bsr
husband was a member. There Is sufficient
money, to make a distribution under tb
terms of tbo will, but one of tbo organisa
tion desires to dlvids tbe fund Into three
part equally. Tbe division under tho wilt
would mak tb amount to be recelvcj un
