Washixotox Dex A— The report of
Secretary David R Francis of the in-
terior department made publle Inst
night baa many suggestions and rec-
ommendations of importance to tba
southwest Tha report opens with a
discussion ot tho publio domain It
shows tha total number of scree dis-
posed of up to Juoa so lest was 946"
000000 leaving publio domain (till va-
cant estimated at over OOOO'tOOLO acres
not Ineluding the district of Alaska
with an area of over souoooooo acres
Sloce the homestead act waa passed
on May 70 IMS there itave been 162-
891132 acres entered by homestead set-
tlers Of this almost 103000000 acres
will all be patented when the legal
conditions have been mads Of the re-
mainder 42000000 acres represent en-
tries canceled nod almost 18000000
acres commuted to cash
The total amount paid by tba gov-
ernment in pensions and tha cost of
disbursing the same for the last SI
years ia 92034817769 This lacks
only a little over 9346712500 of being
equal to tha high-water mark of tha
interoat-boaring public debt Tha
present number of pensioners which
is 970673 is greater by 4666 than in
1893 when tha maximum annual cost
waa reached and ia greater than ever
before This la due to tbe death of old
soldiers and the continued payment of
allowances to their heirs while tho
amount paid is decreased through the
death of invalid pensioners leaving no
dependents
Under the head of Indian affairs tho
secretary repeats the recommendation
of hia predecessor for a commission of
three one of whom shall be aa army
officer to take tbe place of tbe assist-
ant commissioner! of Indian affairs
Under tbe head of bond-aided rail-
rosla the secretary says: “In my judg-
ment it is much better for the govern-
ment to accept a lump sum in cash for
Its claim against these roads If by do-
ing so that claim can be settled and
the connection between the govern-
ment nnd the only roads it haa ever
aided bv direct subsidy be effectually
served”
Discussing forest reservations the
report asya no permits to cut limner on
publio lands should be granted for uny
purpose other than to supply tha needs
of actual settlers In the neighborhood
of the forests where timber ia to be
cut and should be accompanied by all
possible safeguards
Secretary Francis urges upon con-
gress the necessity for legislation for
the reclamation and disposal of lands
within tha arid regions - Unless tha
Carey act could be amended so us to
give the state power to pledge lauds
for their reclamation be says it would
be better to place the lands under tha
direction of tbe states only so far as
may be necessary to secure their re-
clamation for the benefit of actual set-

terday when information waa given
of the sudden and serious illness of
about 100 families numbering between
500 and 600 persons living in the north-

case are considered serious if not
critical Mrx Figlesthaler the wife
of tbe baker stated that she

put poison into the box eontainiog tho
