FAVORS FOREST RESERVE.
Baker County Irrigation Delegates
Pass Resolutions.
Baker City, Nov. 14 At. a. meeting
this evening of the Baker county dele
gation to the State Irrigation Conven
tion at Portland next week, the matter
of the forest reserve came np and was
discussed at length. The differences of
the mining and irrigation interests were
finally adjusted by the adoption of the
following declaration as the policy to be
pursued by the Baker county delegates:
"It is the sense of this delegation that
we favor the establishment of a forest
reserve in the Blue Mountains, under
such regulations as will not harass, an
noy or delay in anv manner the develop
ment or working of our mines."
Thirf declaration is in harmony with
the forest reserve law. The mining
men have been absolutely opposed t
the reserve upon any conditions until
lately. Now they are inclined to with
draw their objection on the assurance
that there is no purpose on the part rf
the Government to hamper the working
of the mines.
To Suppress Ladronism.
Manila, Nov. 14 The United State
Commission has passed an act to assist
the suppression of ladronism. It makes
highway robery committed by three or
more persons a capital offense. A con
viction does not require proof of the
actual commission of the crime, the ex
istance of a band of brigands under
arms being sufficient. Severe penalties
are prescribed for those assisting lad
rones in the commission of crimes.
The commission has also passed a
sweeping vagrancy act, drawn up so as
to reach both dissolute natives and for
eigners, and it has enacted a law requir
ing officials to warn the people of the

impending danger of famine and to urge
the laising of crops of quick-growing
foodstuffs. The Government is furnish
ing seeds and will nse public lands for
this purpose.
Spanislt Trouble Serious.
Madrid, Nov. 14. A dispatcb from
Tetuan, Morocco, where the Kabyte
tribes have rebelled, shows that the sit
uation has grown more serious. A
body of armed Tetuanites has been de
feated in a fight with the rebels and
compelled to retreat to the town. The
rebels aVe encamped at Samoa, half an
hour distant from Tetntan, where all
business is suspended. In Madrid the
position of the Europeans at Tetuan is
considered not to be grave. The news
papers comment on Spain's continued
ill fortune, as again evidenced by the
fact that the country is without a Cabi
net at the hme ot such an mportsnt
crisis.
Yukon Frozen Solid.
Victoria. B. C, Nov. 14 The steamer
Amur, from Skagway, reports that the
i-teamer La France was caught and held
in the ice when en route down, near
Minto She will remain there all Win
ter, and fears are expressed that she
may be crushed by the ice. The steam
ers Wilbdr Cummin, Thistle and Elea
nor, which reached White Horse on No
vember 4, were the last in service. The
first stage from White Hose reached
Dawson on November 9, after six days'
travel, and the first stage from Dawson
was due at White Ho-se on Monday. A
Dawson dispatch says that Mailcarrier
Ell Verrean left Dawson Tuesday morn
ing, October 28, with 500 pounds of low
er river mail in a Peterboro canoe. He
wns caught in an ice jam six miles below
the mouth of Forty Mil?, his canoe
crushed and all the mail lost. Verrean
narrowly escaped with his life.
