PATENT LAW REFORMS URGED Recommendations Concerning the Pacific Railroads. THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE ‘The annual report of the Secretary of the Interior was made public today, presenting a review of the business transacted by the Interior Department during the last fiscal year. In discussing Indian affairs the Secretary says: 7 “The plan for the conduct of the Indian bureau, indicated in my last annual report, has been executed so far as existing laws permitted. While only a portion of the offices are covered by the civil service, all removals, promotions and appointments have been made solely for the good of the service. Accurate information has been sought as to the character of work being done by those occupying all positions; the higher places have been filled by promot- ing the most capable, without regard to any consideration except efficiency, and new employes have been given subordinate places. Applications for promotion have been discouraged. I have considered it the duty of the Indian bureau, which has knowledge as to the character of work re- quired, to possess also the necessary in- formation about the men in the service most suited to do it. For twelve months past no agent has been appointed whose experience in the service did not fit him es- pecially for the position, and the man believed to be the best sulted to a partic- ular agency has been designated, his first information that his name was being con- sidered usually havirg been the notice of his appointment. The Indian reserva- tions are scattered all over the United States. While the work of education, bots on and off reservations, must prove ef- fective, I do not consider it of so much im- portance as, the business management of the reservations, which should require the Indian to be self-supporting, by the culti- vation of land or by ordinary occupations outside of the reservations. The effort to make the Indians farm has proved most satisfactory. Nearly two-thirds af the fam- ies have raised‘ at least small crops of corn, and in some instahces vegetables. They have cut their hay and stacked it. Captain Baldwin, the agent, reports that there is no difficulty in making these peo- ple work, if the proper course is taken with them.” To secure the permanency of the office of Indian agent, the Secretary recommends: First. Taat instead of a single commis- sioner, the Indian service be placed in charge of three commissioners, two of them to be civilians appointed from differ- ent political parties and one to be a detailed army officer. Second. That the tenure of office of an Indian agent shall be conditioned alone upon the faithful discharge of his duties, and that appointments and removals be made by the President upon the recom- mendation of the three commissioners of Indian affairs. Third. That the classified service be ex- terded over all the subordinate positions beth at the agencies and at the schools. The Indian schools have had an enroll- ment during the past fiscal year of 23,036 pupils. ‘This is an increase during the year of 1,417, which does not include the Five Civilized Tribes nor the Indians of New York state. The government day schools show an enrollment of 3,834 pupils, nearly one-half of the increased attendance being in these schools. An increased appropria- tion for Indian education is asked from Congress to meet the pressing demand ‘cr schools for children not now provided for, and also to furnish buildings for thuse children who, by the reduction of he aid to contract schools, must be cared for by the government. These new buildings and Ss, however, amount to a perma- stment, and when it becomes pos- sible to accommodate the children in day schools upon the reservations the annual expense will be less than at the boarding schools. In reviewing the work of the law force in the Interior Department, the Secretary recommerds the creation of a board of principal examiners among the assistant attorneys in the Secretary’s office. Referring to the subject of allotments, the Secretary says ther? are a number of changes which should be made in the pres- «nt allotment system, which require con- essional action. According to the present law an dndian becomes a citizen of the United States upon receiving his allot- ment. In many 2as23 he is ready to receive land before he is prepared for the con- sequences of citizenship. Allotments should be made long before reservations are open- ed. Each Inlian should be settled upon bis homestead and be self-supporting be- fore citizenship is ccnferred upon him. When enship is cenferred the govern- ment ought to let him alone and allow him to take his place, surrounding him with ro more restraint and giving him no more help than is accorded to other citizens. Under the present system Indians to whom allotments have been made anid upon whom citizenship has been conferred, still re- ceive enormous sraiuities and need every dollar they receiv Upon each reservation a part of the Indians will be ready for citizenship before others, and all are ready to own land and werk {it before they are ready for citizenskip. The law should be changed so that ailctment can be made upon the recommendation of the agent to those who are ready for it, and patents should be isstied iater with the approval of the Secret: of the Interior to those In- dians showing themselves fitted to receive the lands so assigned. The Secretary also recommends that gen- eral authority, with the approval of the President, be given to the: Indian bureau, to sell parts of Indian reserxations, the money to be used exclusively’ in the im- provement of allotted lands, or for the pur- pose of furnishing agricultural implements and cattle to the Indians who may reside upon the remaining lands. The report reviews the Jacksog Hole ‘dis- turbances and gives an account of the ac- tive means taken by the department toyse- cure justice for the killing of the Bannock Indians on July 154ast, and also to preserve peace between the Indians and the whites. He commends the peaceful course of the Indians under circumstances so extremely aggravating on the part of the whites. Land Office. Referring to the work of the general land office the Secretary says: “I recemmend the creation of a board of three principal examiners in the office of the commissioner, to whom, under his di- rection, may be referred for final decision, so far as the decision of the land office is final, such class of cases a8 the commis- sicner may deem advisable. The commis- sicner and the assistant commissioner should be allowed practically all of their time for the supervision of the vast busi- ness intrusted to their charge, and they should not be expected to perform the amount of judicial labor which now over- burdens them.” Considerable space is devoted in the report to the subject of arid lands and irrigation, and the Secretary recommends the disposal of reservoir sites to the states. Taking up the subject of the preservation of the forests, the Secretary says: “The subjects of irrigation and the pres- ervation of the forests go hand in hand, especially the preservation of the timber upon the forest reservations. There have been reserved from settlement under the act of March 3, 1891, 17,000,000 acres of land as forest reserves. The object of these reservations is to preserve the forests them- selves for future use, and through the pres- ervation of the forests to protect and re- serve the supply of water so that it may be stored and utilized for irrigation. These forest reserves protect the head waters of many of the streams used for irrigation. If the depredatiuns upon them continue at the present rate, they will in a few years be entirely denuded of their timber and will thus leave the lands surrounding the head waters of irrigating streams subject to the direct rays of the sun, causing waste through floods at an early season of the year and the loss of benefit to the agricul- tural lands when the water is needed later. If, however, the timber lands are protected and kept intact, the melting of the snow will be gradual, floods will be prevented, and a flow will be maintained until late in the spring. “The present force of the general land office is inadequate to protect the reserva- tions. There are but thirty specia! agents to protect the timber upon the public do- main, to examine swamp lands, and to in- vestigate fraudulent land entries—a force from which it would be impossible to detail men to watch the forest reservations. Un- less some plan is devised by Congress for the protection of the forests, either by the army or by foresters and assistants living upon the reservations, it is manifest that the object sought to be accomplished will utterly fail. The system of timber permits is viclous, in that It provides no adequate compensation io the government for the timber taken; it is destructive to the forest and to its floor and regrowth, and its legiti- mate object—the supply of the market to which the iocal forest should be only tribu- tary—is not attained. It should be abolish- ed, and in its stead there shouid be such a rational system of timber cutting under competent supervision as will most effectu- ally conduce to natural reforesiation and the resupply in the shortest possible time of the growth removed. Under such super- ion much timber might be taken without injury, even from the existing reservations. Or, better still, the waole of the public lands which are valuabie chisfly for timber might be reserved, and a forestry system applied to the entire area. Such a system must necessarily be accompanied by proper legislation for protection against fire and depredation.” New Legisintion Asked. ‘The Secretary submits the recommenda- tiens of the commissioner of the general lard office as follows: ‘That a law be enacted for the compulsory attendance cf witnesses at hearings in con- tests before the district land offices; that at least $50,000 be appropriated to be expended annually for making examinations neces- sary for establishing forest reservations and for the protection of such reservations already existing; for the purposes of the special-service division of the office he recommends that an appropriation be made for at least six attorneys to supervise and direct the proceedings of the special agents operating in as many districts to be desig nated; for legislation relative to the public timber; that Congress make adequate ap- propriations to secure the surveying of the public lands through the geological sur- vey; that a law be enacted creating the office of surveyor general of Alaska; for the establishment of a district land office for Alaska, with a register and receiver, hav- ing like duties and emoluments with such officers in other land districts; that an ap- propriation of $48,000 per year be made,and centinued for such time as is necessary, for the employment of e‘ghty copyists for transcribing the press-copy records of the office into permanent record books; that ap- propriations for surveys of public lands be made continuous, and for the appointment of a board of examiners of surveys. The Pension Office. The Secretary submits an estimate of $140,000,000 to pay pensions for the next fiscal year and recommends the construc- tion of an electric ligt plant for the pen- sion bureau, together with a water filter. Patent Law Reforms. The Secretary is gratified at the change of the rules of procedure in the patent office and says: “Sufficient time has not elapsed to judge of the full effect of these rules upon the practice, but there Is little doubt that they have accelerated the prosecution of cases and enabled the office to dispose of its business with greater expedition. It is a manifest evil that an applicant should be able to keep his case pending in the office for an indefinite time without for- feiting his rights against the public, fin- ally taking out a patent for an invention which has been in public use perhaps for years. There is practical unanimity of opinion that the period of permissible in- action on the part of an applicant should be shortened to the period of six months, and such was the unanimous report of the special committee on amendment of the patent laws of the American Bar Assocla- tion at its recent session in Detroit. Fully concurring in the wisdom of this change and in the imperative necessity for it, I believe that the policy embodied in these rules requiring expedition in prosecuting eases should be placed beyond the possi- bility of change by amendment of the rules of procedure, and to this end I recommend congressional action. The Census. In reviewing the work of the eleventh census the Secretary says: “The condition of the census division and of the final reports shows clearly, that the eleventh census will be printed and dis- tributed at least two years earlier than was the case with the tenth census. Yet the whole system of taking and compiling the federal census should be changed, causing as it does so much delay. It is the opinion of the commissioner of labor in charge, which he states after most careful con- sideration, and in which I fully concur, that with a more scientifically arranged system, and the employment of a force drawn from the civil service lists, $2,000,040) and one year of time might have been saved in completing the eleventh census. “The work of the geological survey has progressed in a satisfactory manner dur- ing the year. The energies of the stricily geologic force have been directed mainly to areal surveying, with a view to the de- Mneation on the topographic bage maps of the distribution and relations of the vari- ous rock formations. Work in this line {was done in all of the great natural geo- logic provinces of the country. A special geologic map on aiarge scale was made of the Cripple Creek gold district of Colorado, and data were obtained for the compl-tion of the second part of the report on the Leadville mining district of Colorado. Four- teen folios of the Geologie Atlas of the United States were published during the year, each folio émbracing a topographic map, several geologic naps and a descrip- tive text.” Educational Statistics. The report of the commissioner of educa- tion shows that the total number of pupils enrolled in 1894 ‘in public and private schools wes 1,580,268, or 22.83 per cent of the entire Populatioh—14,446,858 in public and ppivate elementary schools, 480,358 in schools and 203,05% in institutions of of highet sausation. Of the grand total, 15,520,208, the number in. the public schools of all grades: wag 44.012 me and in private schools of all grades 1, i, #actfe Ba aS Considerable space is devoted to the sub- ject of Pacific railroads, and the various plans of reorganization which have been proposed are set forth by the Secretary. The report urges that two things are to be considered: (1) The eollection of the Gebt due to the government, and (2) the creation of a great through line from the Missouri to the Pacihc, which was the original purpose of the goverrment leading to the issue of subsidy bonds. The report shows in detail the amount of the subsidy bends, the amount of the interst waich the gceverrment has paid on them and the amount of the first mortgage bonds. The Secretary says the government !s already out $117,436,000 upon these bonds, and that the first mortgage bonds only amount to 613,000; that the prop2riy more than the first mortgage bonds, that the government interests can be tected, if necessary, by taking up these bonds. He says that all of these bonds ure now maturing, and draw 6 per cent, that they could easily’ be veplaced with a 3 per cent bond, if the government guaranteed them, and as the government holds « sec- ond Hen, and must protect the property against the first lien, the government should see to it, if any new set of bonds are issued,, that’ the first mortgage bonds draw no higher rate. of interest than gov: ernment bends would draw. The Secretary Suys the net earnings of vach one of the ines during the past ten years have made an average of nearly 6 per cent on_ the sum of the first mortgage bonds, and of the gecvernment suvsidy bonis, and suggests the possibility of a new issue of bonds, gvaranteed by the government, drawing 3 per cent, equal in amount to the first mort- gBege bonds and the subsidy bonds, with the interest un the sam2. As the road could easily earn the interest on these bonds, and leave a handsome surplus, cap- ilalists should be found who would buy the property, subject to the bonds, and pay a fair sun into the treasury each year to- werd their Hquidaiion. The Secretary dis- cusses the scheme of the government di- rectors and also of the reorganization com- mittce of the Union Pacifi® and finaily urges that the government, being in the attitude of second mortgage security hold- er, it 1s absolutely necessary, in order to protect its claim, that negotiations be had between the governmen:, the other parties in interest and such capitalists as are like- ly to take hold of the enterprise. This work cannot suceessfully be performed by Congress, and the responsibility for it should be placed at once by Congress upon 4 commission or upon seme duly author- ized representative of the government, whose duty it should be to take the subject up in 2 business way and work out the best plan for,disposing of the government's irterest with’ the least possible “tess.

FINE ETO, wits, JEWELRY. noll-Im the report of the Dawes commission on the five civilized tribes of Indians. Fhe-com- mission reports at great length upon af- fairs in the Indian territory, ant’ recom- mends legislation as follows: “A territorial goyernment over the five civilized tribes, adapted to their peculiarly anomalous condition, so frained as to se- cure all rights of residents in the same, and without impairing the vested rights.of the citizen Indian or other person not an intruder. “The extension of the jurisdiction of the United States courts in the territory, both in law and equity, to hear and determine all_controversies and suits of any nature concerning any right in or use and occupa- tion of the tribal lands of the several na- tions, to which any citizen Indian or other person, or the tribal government of any na- tion, is or may be made a party plaintift or defendant. “The commission is confident that such a government wisely administered will re- Store the observance of law and preserve order among the people residing in these several nations, and make secure their lives and all just property rights. And that the determination in the United States courts of the most important and compli- cated questions in wnich the tenure of their land is unfortunately involved, lifting them out of the unhealthy and unreliable in- fluences which prevaii in the Indian courts, where now alone they are disposed of, would go far toward a soiution of the diffi- cult problem the present condition of the territory presents.” +o +—___ ITS STRANGE STORY. A Watch That Kept Right Along Whether Anybody Was Around or Not From the Chicago Tribune. “That's a queer-looking watch,’ observed the man whose collar button showed above his necktie. “It's a queer watch,” replied the man in the mackintosh, replacing it in his pocket, “It has a history.’ “Family heirloom, perhaps,” suggested the man who had his feet on the table. “Last member of the family that had it was your uncle, who had previously let you have a dollar and a half—" “It never was out of my possession,” re- sumed the man in the mackintosh; with a slance of disdain at the last speaker, “ex- cept once, and there wasn’t any money borrowed on it that time.” “Footpad took it away from you, looked at it, and handed it back,” ventured the man with the slouch hat. “Traded it to somebody for a yellow dog and the other fellow returned it and told you to keep the dog,” hazarded the man with the soiled cuffs. “This watch,” said the man in the mack- intosh, “has been my constant companion for many years. One night in 18% 1 went to sit up with a sick friend. I was instruct- ed to give him his medicine at intervals: of two hours. Once during the night i lay down on a lounge and dozed. I wesn’t asleep over two minutes, and yet when I waked up my watch was gone. I looked at the sick man. To all appearance he hadn't moved. There was nothing to indicate that anybody had entered the room, and | was sure nobody could have cume in without waking me, anyhow. It was a mystery, but there was nothing I could do or say. I had fallen asleep at my post and had no right to kick. Well, that man got well. Afterward he concluded to move away frem town. He sold his household goods at auction. To help him out I bought part of them myself. Among the traps was that lounge. One day I got tired of seeing it about the house. I broke it up for kin- dling. When I knocked the back of It off this watch fell out. It had slipped out of my pocket tne night I lay down on it and took that little nap. That watch, gentle- men was still going.” “How long had it been lost?” asked the man with the bright green necktle. “About stx months. I told you, gentle- men, the watch had a history. That's the history.” Then somebody exclatmed in a tone of deep disgust that he hated a lar, and the audience slowly filed out. 0+. Arrival of James F. Eagan. James F. Eagan, one of the men arrest- ed in Ergland in 1882, and sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment on a charge of dynamiting, but who was liberated after serving nine years, was among the pas- sengers who arrived at New York on the steamship Teutonic Wednesday. Mr. Eagan said that his purpose in visiting the United States is to raise funds for the support of the families of Irish political prisoners and also to secure aid for the prisoners them- selves. SHAKERS AND DOCTORS |) : TALK TOGETHER. In his able work entitled “Longevity,” published a few years ago, Dr. John Gardner of England predicts that a vegetable agent will yet be found that shall 80 retard those changes that bring about old age as to proiong human life mach beyond its present Hit Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse produced by this thought, many eminent physicians have called from time to time upon the Shakers of Mt. Leb- anon to inquire of them concerning the secrets of medicinal plants, in which these sincere, simple- minded and God-fearing people are known to be wise and skillful beyond all other men. The Shakers willingly told what they had learned, and {a return received f-om thelr visitors much valu&ble information about disease, which they at once made practical use of. The most tmportant point wis that if a genuine and certain remedy could e found for indigestion and dyspepsia and the allmeats growing out of it a long step would be taken In the right direction, Old age, said these physicians, begins in a failure of the diges- tion, and so do most diseases at any and all periods of life. The result of these consnttations was the discovery by the Shakers of the desired specific, made wholly from herbs, and now known Shaker Digestive Cordial, Its action is magical and worthy of its origin. Where there is distress after eating. sick headache, bad taste in the mouth, weakness and weariness, col as the heartburn, pilioasness, ands and feet, ver- sion to food, nervor OF any other symptom of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove its curative virtues.
