MOHAN GETS DECISION.
Spenlal to the Evening Review.
CAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1. In a
whirlwind battle from start to finish,
Owen Mornn, champion lightweight
iiuglllst or Englnnd, was given the
decision over Eddie Hanlon nt the
end of twenty rounds In this city Inst
night. Both men were badly pun
ished. Why Colds are Dangerous.
Because you have contracted or
dinary colds and recovered from
them without treatment of any kind,
do not for a moment Imagine that
colds are not dangerous. Everyone
knows that pneumonia and chronic
catarrh have their origin in a com
mon cold. Consumption is not caus
ed by a cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and de
velopment of the germs that would
not otherwise have found lodgment.
It Is the snme with all Infectious
diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles and whooping cough are
much more likely to he contracted
when the child has a cold. Yon will
see from thla that more real danger
lurks In a cold than In any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold Is
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made It a
staple article of trade over a large
part of the world. For sale by Ham

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 1. Although
the date set for the arrival of the
American Beet is still moro thnn two
weeks distant, the preparations for
the glorious half-million dollar cele
bration in honor of the Yankee tars
aro about completed. Manufacturers
of (lags and bunting have been work
ing overtime for the Inst few weeks
to supply the demand for American
flags, which will be displayed side
by side with the banner of the Mi
kado during tho stay of the fleet.
The Japanese have prepared for
an entertainment of the fleet which
will cost over IS00.000, and will
doubtless furnish more novelties and
surprises than any thing, to which
the men have yet been treated. Ev
ery officer and man of tho visiting
Americans will receive a silver souv
enir. Viscount Ita said:' "Tho com
ing of the great Amerlrnn fleet to
Japan will be one-of the most strik
ing events In our history. We must
extend to It our most sincere wel
come. It will undoubtedly tend to
bring the nations closer to each oth
er, and It will likewise prove of the
greatest benefit to both the Japanese
and American navies."
As the American battleships, 16
In number and headed by the flag
ship Connecticut, near the coast of
Japan they will be met by tho ves
sels of Japan deployed in such wlso
thnt one Japanese warship will es
cort each of the visiting ships. Then,
for the first time, will the best that
I'ncle Sam's navy can boast have a
chance to compare visually and nt
close range the fleet of its one nnd
only rival In the Pacific. But In
this case the rivalry will be one of
good offices and kindly greetings, an
art for which the Japanese nre now
world famous.

SiK-nker Says Ills Policies May Make

ALBUQUERQUE, N, M Sept. 30.
A feature of tho National Irriga
tion Congress today was the uddrui
of D. C. lleaman.
Mr. Benninn's address wan an uu
sworvlng attack on the forestry ser
vice and Its head, Otffor'l Plnchot.
He said'
"No policy of recent yenrs has
done Bo much to alienate the friends
or tne government as tho mistaken
policy of the forest service, and If
any of the mountain states snarl go
democratic this fall it will bo chiefly
for thnt reason. If a state govern-'
ment hnd treated its people in such
a manner It would have been ousted
at the next election."
Mr. Beamau dlscui-ed the con
tents or many or Mr. Inchot's cir
culars, ns well as Interviews and
Blaionients credited to him printed
In newspapers and magazines, under
the caption, "Wasting our Resources
nnd Other Hobgoblins." He Bnld:
"Mr. Plnchot says we are wasting
our resources; thnt they will soon bo
exhausted, whoroaB they should be
preserved Tor posterity. This he es
pecially, applies to coal, Iron nnd
timber. It Is ensy to make this
churge, but has Mr. Plnchot ever In
formed us just whnt we are to do to
prevent this so-cnlled waste? Shall
we Btop mining coal, shut down our
stool works, gns and eledtrlo plants,
nnd go back to the blacksmith shop1
and the tallow caudle? It is nothing
new to hnve hobgobllnB of future dls-"
nster plnced on dress parade to
frighten the credulous." - ''
Mr. Uenmnn stntod thnt Mr. Pln
chot proposed to stop the loss of Boll
by erosion by preserving the forests
nnd thus preventing floods. Ho said.
"The truth Is that the rains which
produce the greatest floods do not
fall In the mountains. The Btorms
aro almost wholly In the plains coun
try, I ho result of long and incessant
rains, and these floods con only be
prevonled by the construction of
reservoirs of sufficient capacity to
retain the surplus wator, and that
must bo the Anal remedy against
enormous rains which forests cannot
entirely rostrnln.'J
Concerning forest destruction, Mr
Uenmnn said that more timber had
been sold nnd cut under the Wrest
service than evor borojo In tho Rocky
Mountains, although ho was recently
Informed by a forest supervisor that
the policy of the Bervice had radic
ally changed In this respect, and
much lens timber Is now offered for
sale and will be hereafter.
"Ib It possible," ho ankod. that
the charges above referred to (that
the forest service was responsible tor
excessive waste of timber I have been
taken notice of by authorities In
Washington, and Mr. Plnchot called
down? If so, much hns been accom
plished." Restoration by transplanting trees
that have been raised In nurseries,
Mr. lleaman ridiculed, saying:
"Tho second natural crop of saw
Umber which tho forest sorvlco .Is.
promising us, ns a great feature of
scientific forestry, will not be crowd
ing us and our postorily during the
next 500 yenrs. "
