The streets wcro lighted up for miles around with many colored stringers, fancy emblems of masonry, colossal search lights, und brilliantly decorated arches. Tho electrical Il lumination Is ono of tho main features of the conclave entertainment and is tho result of months of patient work and study n well us tho -expenditure of considerable money.

It U the 'largest and anost cxteiiblvo contract of tho kind-over undertaken by any single oieotrlo com pany In tho United States.

The nnnnal report to tho secretary of tho interior of the operations of tho general lnnd office for tho fiscal year ended Juno 30, 160J, was made public to-day. A care ful reading of this report, boys Commis sioner Carter, will demonstrate that tho liberal nnd Just policy towards the set tlers upon tho publlo domain, ndoptcd by Secretary Noblo at tho beginning of this administration, has beon produc tive of very satisfactory and beneficent results. I felt juHtlflcd In predicting In my snntisl re port ot last year that, with ths forco Ihrn nt command, tho buslnnss of this bureau would bo brouRlit up abreast with tho current work by j tho end of tho llaeal year Jiwt closed. It Is , gratifying tome now to bo nolo 10 report to , you that a literal fnlMlImcnt of thst prMlotlon , has boon fully consummated. In order that tho maKtiltuiln of the work dono rturlnif tho last i llscnl year may readily bo cotnprehondod snd tho n-niiltH uccouipllnhcd fully appreciated. I feel wnrrantod la referring tonnddlicuMlni? briefly tho policy that uovernod nnd controlled tho business of this ofllco undor tho last udtnta- . titration from ItMU to IO. Commissioner Hparln, In his nnnnil report . for tho II seal year cndlnff Juno 30, IBIS, said: l "At tho outsut of my administration I was con froiit"d with tho overwhelming ovldcnco that the public domain wns bclwmndu a prey of un- scrupulous speculation and tho worst formi of land monopoly through systematic fraud car ried on and conxummttcd under publlo land laws." t He further stated In tho samo report, In dls- . cusslnx tho HUbJrct of commuted homesteads, that thn proportion of fraudulent entries of this kind could bo tnuro nearly tstU inatid it tho whole number of such en tries than In nny other manner: that tho nvcMRo proportion of fraudulent, pre emption fllliiKs to tho total number of filings . made nnd rellnijulahrd should ho cstl- I mated In round numbers t exactly IW pur , cent and that 01 per cent, of all timber culturn entries were fraudulent. HnvlnR become wrong fully Imbued with the Idea Hint nearly till, ornt least n very lnrffo proportion, of entries utado upon the publlo domain weru fraudulent, and that tho great body of well disposed settlers wero unscrupulous speculator. It If not sur- ITliltm that Commissioner Sparks on April .1, 1FU. Issued an order suspending notion on nil entries (except on certain scrip lo-atlons nnd on prlvato cash entries) In tho whole of Colo-' rado, except tho Uto reservation, and In nil of ' Dakota. Idnho. Utah, Washington. New Mox- , lco, Muntnna Wyoming nnd portions of Kan- ' sas.

The house divided at midnight When Mr. Gladstone returned from the lobby the whole liberal party arose and cheered him. The tellers appeared at 12:2ft a. in. with tlto paper containing tlio numbers showing tlio results of tho division und handed the paper to n liberal whip. This was a signal for a volley of llbur.il cheers and Irish khuntH of "Mltchelstown," "down with llulfoiirism," otc,, and it was some time before Mr. Morley was ablo to announce the figures. Tlio result announced was, for tho motion, !!50; ugninst tho motion, Sl.'i. Then thero was a frcs.li display of enthusiasm.
