Samuel Unter meyer applied to and obtained today from Judge Fitzgerald, sitting In, the, Supreme Court, an Injunction order, returnable Monday next, against the Count and Countess de Castellane, Edwin and George Gould, Howard Gould and Helen SL Gould, an trutees under tho will of Jay Gould restraining them from pay Inig to Anna Gould, Countess of Cas tellane, any part of the estate In the bands of the trustees, or from applying any part of the trust fund to the debts of Anna Gould, or to her support or that of her children, until the further direc tion of tho court. The plaintiff In the suit is Anthony J. Dlttman. who sues as assignee of Asher Werthemer, a London bric-a-brac dealer. The complaint, which is a long printed document, contains copies of drafts drawn by Werthemer and accepted In writing by the Count and- Countess de Castellane, amounting to upwards of JSS6.000. of which $285,000 and upwards Is past due. It is alleged that Anna Gould has J18.000.000 held In trust for her by her brothers and sister, and that her Income Is about 5900.000. "It is claimed that $260,000 a year is all that the Count and Countess require for their support, and the plaintiff asks that the remain der of the income should be applied to the payment of the couple's debts. It is eald that over 1X0,000 of surplus Income has already accumulated, which ought to be used for this purpose. The present suit Is said to be a test case. and. it is reported, is backed by other creditors. than werthemer. A few weeks ago George J. Gould was appointed guardian for the .Countess de Castellane in a proceeding In the French courts. The creditors claim that the pur pose of this proceeding was to get the property of the Countess away from at tack by her creditors, so as to enable the Goulds to force settlement of tho debts at their own time and on their own terms. Judge Dillon, counsel for the Gould fam ily, made the following statement con cerning the suit: "The Countess de Castellane is not en. tlUed to any 'part of the capital or prin cipal sum of the estate of her father, as the statement of the plaintiff seems to imply. The will ot Mr. Gould provides, in substance, that the income Is to be a trust fund in the hands of the trustees, to be appropriated for the support and maintenance of his daughter, and that she cannot anticipate or dispose of any part of that income until it is actually received by her, and that until so re ceived it shall not bo liable for her debts or those of her husband: and undoubtedly the trustees will fed It to be the heirs' duty to see that this provision In the will Is carried out in its full extent, or so far as possible. Rio has no control, nor has the court any control, over the prin clpal sum. which goesMo her children af ter her death. "In the foregoing statement It is said that creditors claimed at the proceedings In Paris, whereby George Gould was ap pointed guardian for his sister, that the tdea of the Gould family was to get pos session of the' Income of the Countess de Castellane and force her creditors -to set tle on their own terms. This is obvi ously a mistake, as the only effect ot that proceeding is to prevent her from In currlng fresh obligations without the con eoat of her brother." The B afford at Malta. "WASHINGTON.

Teller, of Colorado, who left for "Wash ington tonight, speaking of the effect upon the silver question the defeat of Bryan will have, said that he did not in tend to abandon the silver question be cause of the result of the recent election. "The silver question is not dead," he continued, "and will be a live question in 'American politics for years to come, 2nd I am firmly of the opinion that we will ultimately return to the bimetallic system, in my judgment the only system that can secure stability of prices and equity between the creditor and aeDtor." Bpeaklng of Important legislation to be enacted by Congress during the coming session, he said: "I anticipate that there will be an at tempt made to Increase the regular Army, Independent of any force that may be necessary for the Philippine Islands, to the extent of .100,000, as a permanent Army. I doubt very much whether such a measure can be passed during the short session. So far as I am concerned I am very much opposed to it, and will do all I can to prevent it. I am quite will ing that the Government should have all the forces In the Philippine Islands that may be necessary to conquer if it is the policy of the Administration to dis pose of that question in that way. "There will also be an effort to pass what Is known as the subsidy shipping bill, which will Impose a burden uoon the f people ot anywhere from 310,000,000 to $20,- 000,000 a year for -a number of years to come. I do not believe It Is a wise measure, but rather expect to see it passed during this session. For a while there will be, I think, a great waste of money. It la not as objectionable as the Army bill. "I think there will he, as there ought to be, an attempt to reduce the present war-revenue tax, and to get rid of some of the very objectionable features. I no tice that the action of the Cabinet ap pears to have been In that direction. I hope It may be, done. "Aside from these matters I doubt whether there will be very much other legislation attempted during the short ses sion." Senator Teller does not expect to par ticipate in' the Senatorial contest in Col orado, but considers that the fuslon'forces should hold the ground in making a se lection of a Senator.

PHILIPPINE FORESTS. Vast Timber Resources ands. of the Isl- WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. The division of customs and lnsuiar affairs of the War Department has made public a summary of thft first report of the Philippine bureau of forestry organized In its present form under an. orderof the Military Governor, dated April 14. 1900. Its first work was confined to ascertaining the conditions ot the records received from the Spanish Government, under which that bureau.had not only had the care of the forests, but also the aurvey of the public lands. The law In force at the time of Ameri can occupation are said to be in line 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 thafvaluable rub ber, gutta-percha and ylang-ylang trees were taken, and even the most valuable used as firewood. The old regulations were translated dnd revised, taking effect in their new form on July 1 last. They provide for a system of licensing by which permits to cut tim ber can be secured, the fees being based upon the different varieties, of which 396 are named in the order. After the regu lations were promulgated, more than 50 additional species of trees became known, and others are being brought to the knowledge of the bureau almost every week. The director. Captain Ahern, esti mates the total number of tree species in the archipelago at nearly 500. -There are no pure forests of any one species, rarelymore 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 Ahern states that from different sources of information he Is led to be lieve the public forest lands comprise from one-fourth' to posrlbly one-half the area of the Philippines, or from 2O.CO0.C00 to 40,000,000 acres. There are fully 5.000,00d acres of virgin forest owned by the state In the Islands of Mindoro and Paradua. The Island of Mindanao, with an. area of -"some 20.000.000 acres Is almost entirely 'ioovcred -with,-; timber, - and vea lcthe Province of Cayagan. In Luzon, there arS more than 2,000,000 acres of forest. In other provinces of Luzon, especially in the country close to Manila, much ot 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 find a eultable tract. v Captain Ahern mentions tracts of virgin forests to be seen on the southern Islands where from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 cubic feet magnificent timber per acre was standing, with trees more than 150 feet In height, the trunks clear of branches for 60 feet and more than four feet In diameter. He states that In these forests there are mil lions ot cubic feet ot timber,, which should be cut out In order to thin this dense growth, so that the maximum annual growth could bo obtained. There Is a large variety ot valuable gum, rubber and gutta-percha trees, 17 dye woods and the ylang-ylang, the oil from the blossoms of which latter tree is the base of so many perfumes. There are no forest roads or river drive ways In the Islands considered worthy ot mentioning. At present the trees are felled far from any road, and hauled out and general curator. .very, .slowly .by, one oc,more cariboos, with the. result that many tracts are left un touched.
