WILL DO SOML: GOOD. Land Question Cannot Bg Settled by Conference. London, Dec. 22.~The [Irish land question will not be settled. hy the conference which has been arranged between Lord Dunraven's committee, representing the landlords, and John Redmond, William O'Brien, J. C. Ha rington and J. W. Russell, on behalf of the tenants, because the land own- ers' convention, which claims to speak jor nine-tenths of the Irish land-own- ing class, will have nothing to do with the nationalist party. This irre- concilable attitude on behali of the official body of landlords hag furnish- ed the nationalists with a test upon which to base accusations of hostility to any movement which aims at a friendly settlement of. the land war in Ireland. The conference will not, how- ever, be a complete failure. It will, at least, enable Mr. Wyndham, who intends to introduce an Irish land bill into parliament, next session, to see whether his proposals are likely to run parallel or thwart those whoso popular judgment. as reflected -by the conference, is likely to approve, and may cause him to modiiy the measure in certain respects.

Washington, Dec. The farmers of this country own about 50,000,000 acres of woodland, ten times the acre- ace of all federal forest reserves. Most of it consists of small wood lots from which the owners derive timber sup- plies for farm purposes. The bureau of forestry several years ago undertook to furnish to them, without cost, the services of its foresters. The offer proved popular, and applications for assistance have far exceeded the ability of the bureau answer them. Two experts have been employed in the north and south, who have examined and put under management several thousand acres of woodland. Usually jonly one visit to the farm by the bureau's expert is and . this service is given without cost to the owner.
