Forest Reserve Protection.
Washington, Jan. 2. Considerable
interest has been manifested in the
west over the prospect of the passage of
the bill for the protection of the forest
reservations and it has become 'evident
since the bill passed the house that it
will encounter no inconsiderable op
position in the senate. When it went to
the senate, it was referred to the com
mittee on public lands, but the reference
was changed later and it then went to
the committee on forest reservations, of
. which Senator Allen of Nebraska is the
chairman.
The necessity of proper eare of the
forests for the preservation of timber
and the conservation of water supply in
in all arid mountain states and terri
tories is generally admitted even by
those who oppose the pending bill, but
they contend that the selections of
lands for such reservations as have
been made were made without adequate
understanding of the conditions pro
vided. They assert that any of the res
ervations are far more extensive than
they need to be and that they operate
to prevent the settlement of large areas
of country which might otherwise be
coe productive. It is asserted by them
that timber only holds the snow in the
mountainous regions and that many of
the reservations, and especially in Colo
rado, California and Wyoming, extend
to regions where the snow does not lie
at all. There is also objection to the
principle of using the standing army as
giard for reservations. Probably the
objection to placing the privilege of cut
ting timber within the discretion of the
secretary of the interior, which was
made in the house, will also be revived
in the senate.
China May Be Obliged to Give np Bx
tensive Territories.
Washington, Jan. 2. It is the belief
of officials in a position to know the
status of affairs between China and
Japan, that Japan will declare the peace
negotiations off until China hastens
them. There is increased irritation on
the part of Japan as to delays in pre
senting definite proposals. Already the
Japanese government is inclining to the
unanimous demand of the native press
to make far greater demands than were
contemplated when the peace negotia
tions began. At that time the general
understanding was that the basis of
peace would be a cash indemnity and in
dependence of Corea. Now, however,
there is an intimation that Japan may
no longer accept the two conditions as
provided, but may insist also on China's
ceding extensive territories.
China's Offer.
Paei8, Jan. 2. A correspondent tele
graphs from Shanghai as follows: "I
learn on good authority that Qhina will
offer to repurchase Port Arthur, but that
she will not cede an inch of territory to
Japan.
"Generals Shong and Yehr, with 12,
000 troops have joined General Sung.
The whole Chinese force is now massed
along Jfie Liao river," " ' :

The company is to be known as the
Dominion Lumber Company, Limited,
and is organized under the laws of the
province of Nova Scotia, Its capital is
several millions of dollars, . but accurate
information of that could not be ascer
tained, as those interested are non-com-committal.
Negotiations for the pur
chase of lands have been on for some
time and when the new tariffbill, which
provides for free lumber, went into effect,
the negotiations were pressed .more
vigorously and can now be said to be
completed. ..
In Leg-dative Bodies.
Albany, N. Y.t Jan. 2. In the senate
today Lexow introduced a bill giving
power of removal to the mayor of New
York, and a bill allowing the mayor to
give notice for hearings on all legislative
bills relating to the city. Raines intro
duced a blanket ballot box bill. Gov
ernor Morton nominated Alvah H. Dotv
of New York for health officer of the
port, and he was immediately confirmed.
The governor's message contains many
important recommendations regarding
reforms in state and municipal govern
ments. He recommends that power of
removal be at once given to the mayor
of New York, and a commission be ap
pointed to prepare a charter for a greater
New York.
- Hamilton Fish was chosen speaker of
the house.
The senate has ordered the printing of
the JLexow committee testimony.' It
will make 5,000 pages.

Wool Schedule Now In Effect.
New Yoek, Jan. 2. The wool sche
dule of the Wilson tariff bill went into
effect today. Customs officers worked
all New Year's day and the better part
of the night to get things systematized.
The receipts today are thought to have
been the greatest in the history of the
custom house. At all events the income
was fat larger than on anv other dav in
the recollection of Assistant Cashier
Jenkins, who has been there since
1762. The total duty collected was 1.-
527,655, of which no less than $1,097,064
was for woolens. The number of pack
ages of woolens withdrawn was 21,071.
