WASHINGTON. April 11. (Speclnl Tele gram.) Speculation la general ns to what rules tho Interior department proposes lay ing down for tho oocnlng of tho Klown and Comanche country ln Oklahoma, which Is rchcdiilod to tako nlaco August 6. Assistant Attorney General Vnndeventer of Wyoming has had the ouestlon under serious con sldoratlon, nnd tonight gave out a general statement ns to what would bo required. Tho Wichita reservation will bo embraced In a separate land district, with a land ofuco nt Kl Hcno. Deducting the land al lotted to the Indians and reserved for school purposes, thcro will be 3,122 tracts of ItiO acres each to be disposed of to home stead claimants The greater portion of this Is lino land, but sonio of It Is not of sufficient value to Justify complying with the homestend laws to obtain tltlo to It. Tho Kiowa reservation will bo In nu mber land district, with n land olllco near Fort SHI. Deducting the lauds nllottcd to tho Indians and reserved for , school nnd other purposes, thero will bo lO.Ml tracts of 160 acres to bo disposed of to homestead crs. These are generally good lands, but this reservation contalus ft greater percent age of poor land than the Wichita, Mimy Will He lllnnppoliiteil. Tho highest number of homestead claims which could bo taken In tho two reserva Hons, eVen If all tho lnuds were desirable Is 1.1.13. Indications tire that thero will enslly he 40,000 applicants. Many of these arc doomed to disappointment. Thero nro not enough lands for all. Tho two reservations may bo opened ul tho same time, hut the opening of each will bo as separately conducted as If they were 1.000 miles apart. The law does not require them to bo opened nt the samo tlmn, hilt to do so will dlvido tho crowd of nppll cants and Blmpllfy the task of tho land ofllcers. The opening of tho Kiowa reservation must not bo later than August 0 of tho present year, nnd It wilt tako until noar that tlmo to coinpleto tho allotments to tho Indlnns. Tio Free llonien. None of thoso lands can bo obtained na frco homes. They must be paid for by nil claimants at the rnto of $1.25 nu acre at the tlmo of submitting final proof. Tho law also requires flvo years' actual rosldcnco cultivation and Improvement, oxcept thnt honorably discharged soldiers nro given credit for tho tlmo of their service ln tho army. Tho two reservations, wi'.l bo opened by a proclamation ot the president and a recent net of congress declares that "to avoid con tcfts and conflicting claims which have licrctoloro resnitca ' from cpeot-ur: similar ubllc lands, " tho proclamation shall pro scribe tho manner In which these lands may be settled upon, occupied and cutered, and thnt no person shall settle upon, occupy or enter any ot them except as prescribed in tho proclamation, until after the expiration f sixty days from thd opening. Tho purpose of this now stntutory pro lslon Is clear. Tho Interior departmen Is now struggling with tho question. Many plans have been proposed by the peopl over tho country who nro cognizant of tho faults ot tho old system and Interested In public land questions. It Is significant that nearly ull of these proposo a drawing or casting of lots. Prnlnible Plnn of Allotment. Of tho plans considered, that which prob ably will be adopted Is ns follows: Thero will bo a period of registration, lasting thirty or forty days prior to tho opening, during which each application for theso anils will bo required to show by written proofs that he Is qualified to make a home stead entry and actually desires to do so as a means of procuring a home. If bis proof Is patisfuctory ho will be registered as a qualified applicant und given certificate to that effect and will draw a number which will dctermlue tho' order ln which ho will bo permitted at the opening to make a se lection ot land. Tho work of registration will continue until tho qualifications ot all applicants and tho order In which they will bo per mitted to select land havo been determined. Tho registration certificates will not bo transferable, and to tnako the Identifica tion ot applicants complete, so that there may bo no transfers, applicants will bo photographed by a rapid process which can now bo utilized at a slight cost to tho gov ernment. Tho registration will bo under tho supervision ot a register, a receiver and a corps of experienced clerks familiar with public land transactions and fully qualified to conduct the registration in an orderly manner.

Implicating the ofllclalB ot that department In somo qucDtlouablo transactions. Although brought to tho attention ot 'The lloo souio two weeks ago, tho charges have becu with hold from publication by dltectlon of tho dltor until they could bo presented to President Hurt for his investlgatlou or ex planation, Whin a reporter called on Mr. Hurt yesterday with a note from tho ed itor of Thu lloo ho was compelled to wult fifty minutes for an audience, and then his respectful lequcst for an examination f tho story was turned liable with, "I ou't eaio lo read It; I haven't time," and brusquo Invitation to submit It to tho cry hind department olllclals ngulust uliut.i tho charges nro made. According to Mr. Lunger, tho present management of tho department tolerates an nbuso of privileges by employes which not only results ln financial loaa to thu ompnuy, but lu keeping farmers from settling tu Nebraska, Kunsaf. and other western slates. Ho charges that several of tho trusted employes ot the department havo for years been speculating on com pany lauds, and during their speculations the lands have becu kept off thu market nnd away from thu bona lido purchasers. What the Plan Is. The plan of operation adopted by tho employes, according to Mr. Lunger's story, la to purchase n tract of good land from tho company on u ten-yenr contract, mako tho "down" payment of 10 per cent ami no more, nnd then lease thn laud for a sharo of tho crops raised on It. Tho company pays the taxea on tho turn! it'll d allows It to remain for bovcu or eight years In possession of tho delinquent purchaser, who receives from his tenant several hundred dollars' rental each year as a return on. hl3 Investment, which represents only Iho first or "dowu" payment. Mr. Lunger make a particular chnrgo against Alfred L. Lynch, who' for many years has bscn the chief sales clerk in tho ofllco of II. A. McAllastcr, the manager ot tho laud department. This charge Is of a most serious churaoter and Is backed up by tho documentary evidence ln the pos session ot Mr. Lunger. Pai'llciilar Deal llxplalncil. In 1SSU tho company Bold the northwest quarter of section 2U, township H, rango 11, west, In Kansas, at $9 per aero on u ton-year contract. Tho purchaser broke 100 acres of thu land, made' several payments nnd then abandoned It. In August, 1SH2, an application to purchase the Inhd at $9.00 per acre was referred to Mr. Lynch, the, sales clerk, and It was Bald that ho turned It down. In tho following month, nc cordlng tn tho records of tho department aH copied by Mr. Lunger, tho land was purchased nt $0.fiu per ncro ny Lynch, who mado the "down" paymont of $1B2. No further payment, It Is ntscrtcd, was over mado on this contract. The land was leased to Peter Hclngo, who put It under cultivation and paid Lynch one-fourth of tho proceeds from tho crops. Mr. Hclngo says thero wns no crop failure on tho land except In tho year lS'.K", and that ho paid Lynch ono-fourth of the crop as rental each year for 1893, 1891, 189C and 1SU7, the amount so paid for tho lust year being $300.40. The amount of rental received by Lynch for 1893, ISO! wild 1S9C Is not known, but If It wns only half of the nmount tor 1S97, tho total uum realized by tho landlord from his $152 In vestment during tho four years would bo $"r,o. The records of the Union Pacific land department show that this quarter-section hehl by Lynch was re-appraised on April 1, 1S98, when tho value was reduced tti $5.25 per acre. President Hurt Nntlllr.l. "Early ln 1S98." says Mr. Lunger, "thU speculation of Lynch's was brought to tho attention of Mr. Hurt and ho demanded of Lynch, In tho prcscuco of McAllastcr ami myself, un explanation of why ho had not paid for tho land, us he had contrautud to do, especially as ho had been receiving a good rental from the land. Mr. Lynch attempted to explain by saying that ho had purchased another plcco of land from tho company and lost money on It nnd wanted to get even on this quarter Hcctloi, Mr. Hurt told him that tho explanation was not satisfactory and commanded Mr. Mc Allastcr to send him In n written report of tho case. Following this Mr. Lynch re ceived about 500 bushels of wheat as rental for tho land for lb98, but mado no further payment on tho contract." lu November, 1SH8, tho contract on this quHrtor section with Lynch was canceled and the land wns ostensibly sold to Charles G.
