Washington, May 17.—Sue»ial.—Representative Griggs of Georgia, chairman of the Democratic Congressional committee, has gone to New York city. He stated that the trip is taken for the purpose of looking into some maters connected with the Congressional campaign, but it is said also that he goes to try to straighten out the affairs of Tammany Hall, as it is feared that the present situation prevailing, -were it to continue, might result in the loss of some Congressmen in New Yofk and Brooklyn. Personally, Mr. Griggs is very confident of the success of the Democratic party In carrying the next House of Representatives, and this view seems to be shared ' by other members of the party, not only In the House, but by Democratic Senators. Mr. Griggs does not hesitate to express his personal confidence in the ability f the Democratic party io organize the next Hniise. ana he says ,too, that the majority will be substantial and will bo sufficiently large to conduct business in an orderly manner, according to the policy of the Democratic- party. Representative Griggs returned this afternoon from New York, where he saw Nixon. The.latter's resignation from Tammany Hall will not affect his position on nance committee of the Democratic resslonal committee.

He haa received many congratulations, and. to show that the subject is popular with the members of the House, it i.< only necessary to allude fo the applause which greeted Mr. Elliott's remarks. Mr. Elliott, at the, outset of his speech, 1 that there is now no measure before the House of so much importance to the people of South .Carolina and neighboring States than that providing for the creation of the national Apalachlan forest reserve. He showed that forests afford protection against disastrous floods, and argued that the establishment of such a reserve would afford protection to the States of West Virginia, Virginia. North and South Carolina, '■ and other States included within its scope, from a repetition of the disastrous floods and freshets which have occurred with alarming frequency durins the past few years. In concluding his remarks, Col. Elliott "Through the beneficence of providence, these magnificent mountains ! forty-five peaks and forty-one miles of S.000 feel in height, 288 other peaks and 800 miles of ridges of over fi.OOO feet, the gl i of mourn t of the Rockies, and the highest mountains covered with hardwood In America, have been provided an unfailing source for tin six tates. "What a wonderful provision! First, the beautiful, even wonderful, rainfall; ■ splendid forests to preserve and it for the use in' man. t'. it the work ol man is Cast destroying the handiwork uf God. Let u« nt i : ee to it. that this shall BtOp, and what was inn-inli ,1 foi benefit of tolling millions shall not be perverted to their rein." Gen. M. C. Butler has I n urging the intment of Mr. T. Stobo Farrow of South Carolina as consul gem nil to Havana, and has formally presented his name to the President. The President had already appointed Gen. Edward S. Bragg of Wisconsin to the place before Mr. Farrow's name was presented, ami iilny he sent Gen. Bragg"s name to the Senate. Mr. Farrow is a distant relative of President Roosevelt. H. T. H. I The News prints today the full text f the resolution adopted by the Hard- ood Lumber Association, in convention t St. Louis, favoring the establishment f the AppaJjyjJiM^Jark. This resolution was drafted and" introduced in tne convention by Mr. John T. Burford, of this city, and is a very strong presentation of the benefits to follow the establishment of the Park. Mr. Burford is an enthusiastic supporter of the project, and a reading of the.resolution will convince any sensible person that opposition to the enterprise is hurtful to this country.
