Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24 Hoke Smith, j secretary of the interior in President J Cleveland's last term, said today, in I r . r T . ' 1 : .. rererence iu nir. xiruu n rprt;;ro,r in tention of adhering to the principles of the Chicago pla'.form : "I believe that Mr. Bryan deems it proper to continue at this time to 'de fend the principles of the Chicago plat form.' He has twice received, as the nominee of the democratic party, the loyal support of the democrats of the South. The last time lie met with no opposition in the south, even for the nomination. I disapprove the suggestion of reorganization of the party by certain persons in the East, and I think Mr. Bryan is making a mistake equal to that which would have resulted from any serious movement toward Eastern re organization. The democratic party should stand hetween the plutocrat and the socialist as the party of the people. It should defend the righ' of persons and of property, and not be led into attack upon either. The South alone has re mained Hteadfast to the party, and our senators, congressmen and people should asacrt their right for t tie present to speak for the party. "While some of our best men believed four years ago that the unlimited coinage of silver would be desirable to furnish a larae supply of currency, conditions have changed, and I have heard many of tiieee sune men lecture that with the increased supply of gold they are no longer press ing the silver question. I believe Mr. Lryan will lind a majority of the former silver advocates in the South nnwilling to follow liiin further. There are some who, like himself, opposed the platform hut still voted for Mr. Bryan after he was nominated who will naturally join tlie former silver men who do not intend o push this question. ''Any effort to press him or his views upon the country will meet determined opposition. Mr. Bryan it beloved for his honest intentions, hut as a party leader he has not been a success."

The sub-corn-mittee of the republican membership of the ways and means committee held a short session today and adjourned until Monday. The sub-committee has net yet completed the draft of the bill, bat is making progress. It is stated that it is not likely that the general outlines agreed on will be changed before the bill goes to the full committee, unless there is a great pres sure among republican members as they arrive in the city. It is understood that in addition to reductions heretofore mentioned, the increase rj sixty cents per 1001) on cigars will ba removed; also that the stamp taxes on steamship tick ets will be taken off, because the revenue received does not justify the the difficul ties of collection.' Members of the com mittee have been asked-to remove the stamp taxes on foreign bills of exchange and bit's of lading, and it is possible that that matter may be reopened. The tax on parlor-car chairs and sleeping berths will remain. The most important chances in the present law will be schedule B, which practically will be wiped out, and which includes medicines and proprietary ar ticles. The tax also, probably, will be removed from conveyances, mortgages, etc. These, with the abolishment of taxes on express receipts, telegrams, bank checks and some other stamp taxes, will, it is said, secure the reduc tion of $30,000,000, which is the amount agr-jed upon by the treasury officials and the committee. Truata Coma to Stay. Nbw Youk, Nov. 24. Charles R. Flint, in the course of an (address before the Outlook Club at Mont Clair, N. J., re- ferred to trusts as follows: "This new consolidation has come to stay. I t no young man think other wise. That fact was settled in our re. cent presidential election. The trusts are here for good, and under the new system that it brings in, business, in creased intelligence and mental acumen are demanded of the business trian. It may, therefore, be that a collegiate edu cation, with the mental training it in vol ven, will in the future be of greater importance than it was in the past to a bushiest man. In a measure this has perhaps lieen already shown." Mew Trouble Willi the Sultun. Constantinopi.k, Nov. 23. The Porte has definitely rejected the request for an exequatur for a United Slates Consul at Harpoot. This refusal is regarded by the United States legation as a direct violation of the treaty rights, and, con sequently, despite the refusal. Dr. Thomas H.

The fortress of the insurgent chief Geronino at Pinauran, which the ineurgents boasted at impreg nable, wat taken and destroyed Thurs day afternoon by a picked force of the Forty-second and Twenty-eightli In fantry and troop G of the Fourth Cavalry, under Colonel Thompson. Geronimo and most of the rebels escaped. The leader long harassed the Twenty-seventh In fantry, operating in the vicinity of San Mateo, - Montalhan anil Novaliches. He was finally located at Pinauran, 35 miles north of Mani'a. His position was considered the strongest in Luzon. It was a stone fortress surrounding a steep hill surrounded by canyons. The Spanish force lost heavily in attempting to take it. Colonel Thompson mobilized 1000 men at Montalban. The attack was made upon four sides the maiu body under Major Carry, of the Forty-second, ad vancing from the eouth Captain Atkin son, of the Twenty-seventh, from the east; Captain Castoll, of the Twenty seventh, from the west, and Captain Sloan, of the Twenty-seventh from the north. The ascents were steep and the men climbed them by grasping the shrub bery. It was impossible for the eastern column to reach the summit, but the others arrived after three hours' climbing under fire from the fortress and the hill side intrenchments. The enemy's force, numbering eeveral hundred, fled before the attackers reached the top. The Americans de stroyed 1000 insurgent uniforms, scores of building and large stores of supplies and seized a barrel full of documents. Private Hart, of the Twenty-seventh, and Private Kopuer.of the Forty-second, and two native scouts were killed, and twelve of the attacking forces were wounded. The insurgent casualties could not be ascertained. Lieutenant Alstetter, of the United States F'ngineer Corps, who was recently released by the isurgents, arrived in Manila this evening. He had been in captivity at Bubalto since August 12th. General F'unBton surrendered the rebel Major, Vantus, on the release of Lieuten ant Alstetter. The latter is well and says that he received good treatment. He escaped September 21st, but was recaptured. It is unofficially reported that General Torres, the insurgent commandant at Balacan, hat been captured by General Grant's scouts. General Grant wired General Wheatonthat the entire garrison at San Jose bad been captured, but Gen eral Torres was not among them. It Happened In a lr Sti.rn. "One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in steck," says Mr. C R. Grandln, the popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recom mend. I said to her that I could freely rec ommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she couid take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. I consider that, a very irood recommendation for the remedy." It is for sale by G. C. Blakeley, the drn.iiiat. Oliatarlea to ral of Canal Kill. Washington, Nov. 2i1.

Mr. Bryan arrived in Chicago this morning from Lincoln. He drove to the Auditoiium Annex, where be did not register, but was at ones shown to the room occupied by Chairman Towne, of Minnesota. There he remained in consultation with Mr. Towne and ex-Senator Dubois, of Idaho, until toni.ht. when he returned to I. in- I coin, Mr. Bryan refused to sav what wat discussed during the meeting, but did not denv that the future policy of the democratic party was one of the topics discussed. "I expect to remain in politics as long as I live," said Mr. Bryan. "I shall coutini'.e to advocate and work with both tongue and pen for the principles for which I have fought so long. I shall continue to reside in Lincoln." To the question of what ho thought of the proposed reorganization of the demo cratic party, he said : "I have nothing to say on that subject at this time. When the opportune time conies for me to express myself, I shall bu heard. I shall write my views out carefully, in order that my position may not be uiisuuderstood. I have neither the inclination nor (he time- to do so now. "I hve received innumerable offers for my services, comprising opportune lies in nearly all the vocations of life, but I am not looking for a position not now," and he joined with Mr. Towne lo a hearty laugh. "I am in the best of health, and expect to be exceedingly busy for some time to come. I have not Been any of the local politicians.

The laws in force at the time of Ameri can occupation are said to tie in liue with the most advanced foreign legislation of Europe, but were not fully enforced and licensed the cutting of any and every thing. The result was that valuable rub ber, gutta-percha and ylang-ylang trees were takn, and even the most valuable used as firewood. The old resulations were translated and revised, taking effect in their new form oi July 1 last. They provide for a system or licensing by which permits lo cut timber can be secured, the fees be ing based upon the different varieties, of which 3!t'i are named in the order. After the regulations were promulgated, more than fifty additional species of trees he came known, and othert are being brought to the knowledge of the bureau almost every week. The director, Cap- tain Aliern, estimates tho total number of trees species in the archipelago at nearly .r00. mere are no pure forests 01 any one speclns, rarely more than three or four trees of any one variety being found grouped together, so that a lumberman looking for a shipload of one kind of tim ber would find it practically impossible to cut that and no other, and cargoes must be assembled from different points. Captain Ahren states that from dif ferent sources of information he is led to believe the public forest lands com prise from one-fourth to possibly one half the area of the Philippines, or from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 acres. There sre fully 5,000,000 acres of virgin forest owned by the state in the islands of Mindoro and Paradua. The island of Minifanao, with an area cf some 20,000,- 000 acres is almost entirelv covered with timber, and even in tha province of Cayagan, in Luzon, there are more than 2,000,000 acres of forest. In other provinces of Luzon, especially in the country close to Manila, much of the timber has been cut, and to fill large contracts the lumbermen are obliged to go quite a distance from the city in order to lind a suitable tract. Captain A hern mentions tracts of vitgin forests to be seen on ttie southern islands where from 10,000,000 to 20,000,- 000 cubic feet magnificent timber per icre was standing, with trees more than 150 feet in height, the trunks clear of brandies tor GO feet and more than four feet in diameter. He states that in these forests there are millions of cubic feet of timber, which should be cut out in order to thin this ilt-iiae growth, so that the maximum annual growth could be ob tain- d. '1 here is a large variety of valuable gum, rut ht-rand gutta-percha t'ees, seventeen dye woods and the blossomt of which latt-r tree is the base of so many per fumed. There are no forest roads cr river drive way in the islands considered worthy of in' ntioning.
