Land Office Report,
Washington, Oct. 5.—S. W. Lam
oreaux, commissioner of the general
land office, in his annual report to the
secretary of the interior, declares that
the decline of land officj business noted
m the last report still continues. Com
pared with 1804 there has been a de
crease in land entries of 19,09^, and of
6,01(3,085 acres entered upon, a decrease
of final entries of 6,584 and 356,059
acres entered upon, and a decrease of
cash receipts of ©734,370. The business
of the office for the fiscal year ended
June 30 was as follows: Cash sales,
417,378 acres; fi'dmcstead entries,
5,0( 9.491 acres; state selections, 626,169
acres; railroad selections, 1,967,479
acres; swamp land patents, 244,774
acres; Indian allotments, 85,455 acres;
Indian lands sold, 42,548 qcres; total
cash receipts, ©2,033,454; patented or
certified with the effect of patenting
to vailroad'eompanies, 8,184,326 acres,
surveys accepted by the land office,
10,12;-.653 acres.
The commissioner recommends that
appropriations for the survey of pub
lic lands bo made continuous instead
of annual, as under the rules of the
treasury department it has been found
that where extentioas have been made
upon a contract an extension operates
as a new contract and must be paid for
. out of the appropriations for the year
for which it was made. He also re
news his suggestion of last year that
surveys of public lands be made bv
the government direct, instead of un
der the contract system, as at present,
under the supervision of the director
of the geological survey upon recom
mendation of the commissioner. lie
refers to the fact that large surveys
have been made under this system in
’Indian territory with success.
The total area of vacant public land
in the United Statesis as follows: Sur
veyed. <>18,837.SS8; unsurveyed, .283,
245.007. The land office has examined
and has in process of adjustment twen
ty-two land grants to railroads. The
interior department has approved the
findings of the land office regarding
the land grant adjustments in eleven
cases, and ten other cases for final ad
justments have been submitted to the
department.
Iliscfissing th6 act of the last con
gress, granting lands to states for ir
rigation purposes, the commissioner
says that lie believes the necessity will
arise in the near future for the crea
tion of a national commission whose
function it shall be to regulate the dis
tribution of these waters which have
their source in a superadjacent state,
and which have heretofore been used
in common by the people of that and
the sub-adjacent states.
The commissioner recommends a
law to compel the attendance of wit
nesses at land offices in contest cases;
an appropriation of $.>0,000 annually
for making examinations necessary
for the establishment of forest reser
vations and for the protection of
reservations already existing.

rational convent inn, by an overwhelm
ing’ majority, has adopted aclause for
bidding the intermorr’ago of a white

gro blood whatever. This, in connec
tion with the suffrage clause, will
have the effect of disfranchising mu
latloes.
A Dead Man’s Shortage.

Indians Out fur tli© Money*
Ardmore, I. T., Oct. 5 —The Chicka
saw tribal authorities are understood
to be favorable to allowing the Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons mill to take place in
this nation for a satisfactory pecuniary
consideration. With them it is a ques
tion of revenue. Kilgore, the federal
judge at Ardmore, claims there are no
legal impediments so far as his juris
diction is concerned. There is no tribal
law prohibiting physical culture ex
hibitions. Colbert’s Ferry, another
prospective point, is on the Red river,
this side of the Texas border, and is
only eight or tea miles from Denison,
Texas.
LOST IN DARKEST AFRICA, i
Anxiety About Dr. Donaldson Smith’!
Expedition.
Loxdo;*, Oct. 5.—Considerable anx
iety is beginning to be felt in scien
tific circles regarding Ur. Donaldson
Smith's African expedition, news of
which is long overdue. According to
the latest advices Ur. Smith had been
stopped by the Abyssinian army, and
it is feared that he has had to retrace
his steps and go :n a southwesterly
direction. He may thus have got be
hind too district where the British are
now fighting, at Mweli, on the British
East African coast, and have been
caught by the natives. It is hoped,
however, that when he beard of the
fighting, Hr. Smith made a detour, in
which case he would be heard from in
the neighborhood of Lake Tanganyiki,
or along the German or English lake
routes.
Dr. Smith, who is a resident of Phil
adelphia, started from England in the
latter part of May, 1894, for the Soma.!1
coast, with the object of reaching
lakes Rudolph and Stefanie from the
northeast. The last advices received
from him were dated December 14,
1894, at the Shibeyli river and Russa
Dallas. These were written by himself
in pencil while in the brush, and were
addressed to the press.

ing houses. The committee had no
faith in the Sunday closing laws.
A FAMINE IN CUBA.
Great Distress Predicted In Case the War
Continues.
New York, Oct. 5.—A local paper
prints extracts from a private letter
from Cuba which predicts a famine if
the war continues. “The troops in
the interior part of • the island arc suf
fering unheard of hardships. They arc
famished, clothesless, shoeless, and
without medical attendance. The
very officers confess the total demor
alization of the army and pronounce
the difficulty insurmountable The
departments of Santiago Puerto Prin
cipe, Santa Clara and Matanzas—that
is to say, nearly all the island—are be
ing devastated. Everywhere small
parties of rebels patrol the country
with perfect impunity, robbing and
firing property.”

St. Joseph,Mo., Oct. 5.—The mother
of Maude Steidel has relented in her

del and the girl.
EPISCOPAL MISSIONS.
Report on the Embezzlement of Henry
Oahley and Rev, William Ncwbold.
Mivvr. .potis Twinn.h *_r. .T.n
Episcopal house of bishops one of the
principal reports presented to the
uoard of missions was the report of
the executive committee of the Ameri
can Church Missionary society, read
„ Secretary J. Thompson Cole. It was
the first public and official utterance
as to the embezzlement of $-11,000 by
the former treasurer, Henry Oakley,
and the former secretary, the Rev.
\\ iliiam A. Newbold. It had been
lioped to avoid all public reference to
the affair, but this was found impos
sible. The amount taken by Oakley
was computed at $21,823.54 and
by Newbold at $19,034.10 from Sep
tember 1, laS7. The defalcation was
made possible by the fact that there
was no check on the accounts of either
save by the other, and upon this they
relied for safety. The treasurer has
reimbursed the society, but the secre
tary has no money nor anyone suffic
iently interested in him to make it
good. It would be impossible to pros
ecute the treasurer without returning
the money made good as it came from
another source. No promises had been
made, but prosecution seemed impos
sible. The secretary was old, penni
less and disgraced. To proceed against
him and nut against the treasurer
would justify the charge that the pros
ecution was not because lie took money
but beeavse he had no friend to pay it
back.
Violated Treaties*
WAsniXGTon. Oct. 5.— William F.
Cody was at the Indian office with a
large delegation of Indians connected
with his IVild West show. They were
given a hearing by Acting Commis
sioner Smith, to whom they com
plained that their treaties were not
being carried out according to agree
ment, allot them saying that if he
should stop to tell all that the govern
ment had promised them that it would
occupy him two days. lie said that
they were short of rations, clothing
and blankets on the reservations. All
those that spoke said that they were
being treated well by Colonel Cody.
DAYS OF DEPRESSION
HOW THEY ARE FELT BY THE
RAILROADS.
Commissioner Hampton Makes nia Re
port of the Pacific Lines—He Thinks
the Thnrman Act Hill Be Found to
Justify the Expectation of Its Framers
if Several Amendments. Which He
SoffestSi Are Iliads—Railroad Legtslp
tlon Reviewed.
Washington, Oct. 4.—Wade Hamp
ton, commissioner of railroads, has
made his annual report to the secre
tary of the interior, lie says that
during the hard times the gross re
ceipts of the Union Pacific system was
reduced $1,000,000 a month below the
normal. He also says that a cast-iron
rule as to payments cannot be ob
served, and thinks there should be a
flexible adjustment of annual pay
ments to correspond with diminished
earnings. He thinks that the Thur
man act will be found to justify the
expectation of its its framers, if the
following amendments are made:
First—To embrace within its pro
visions all Pacific roads which have re
ceived from the United States a loan
of its bonds in aid of construction.
Second—To provide that 00 per cent
instead of 35 per-cent of the net earn
ings be retained.
Third—To extend the debt till it
shall have been discharged as pro
vided.
Fourth—To further provide that if
any of the companies abandon any por
tion of the subsidized lines or divert
their business from a subsidized to an
unsubsidized road, the company shall,
in such cases, DC required to transfer
the lien and condition which attached
to the old or subsidized line to the
new and unsubsidized line, in order
that the rights and interests of the
United States may be protected.
i ne commissioner uenevcs mai such
legislation will hasten the payment of
the companies’ indebtedness, as they
are anxious to be freed from govern
mental supervision.
The commissioner also renews his
recommendation relative to a revised
system of accounting by the Pacific
roads.
If the recommendations previously
made that the Thurman act be
amended be not accepted as an alter
native, he recommends that a com
mission be appointed by the president
to settle the indebtedness of the bond
aided lailroads.
The commissioner further recom
mends the order of the treasury de
partment which directs that compen
sation services rendered the govern
ment by the non-aided and leased
lines of the Union Pacific company be
paid to the receivers of the roads in
cash and not retained in the treasury
as formerly.
The commissioner refers to the fact
that there has been great improvement
in conditions since his last annual
report, aud that there is an increase of
earnings of roads under his supervis
ion. He reviews the financial condi
tion of the Union and Central Pacific
railways and says the debt of the
Union Pacific to the United States is
853,005,063, with a total liability of
$187,873,500; the debt of the Central
Pacific to the United States is $57,734,
i)83, with a total liability of $185,033,
ia2. The commissioner says that the
bonds of the Central Pacific, which
fell due on January 16, 1895, were to
have been paid by the company, but
as a matter of fact, were paid out of
the general funds of the United States
treasury. He said that this payment
may bo reimbursed from the sale of
bonds in the sinking fund, but there is
not sufficient market for the sale of
such bonds to cancel one-tenth part of
the debt. The properties of the two
roads are reported in good condition.
Commissioner Hampton, reviews the
attempt at Pacific railroad legislation
m the last congress, and says: “The
results of the past two years have
shown that during a period of finan
cial and industrial depression, it would
be impossible for the Union Pacific
company to meet the annual fixed
charges, in addition to other necessary
and inevitable expenses, of such an
amount as would be required to dis
charge the debt of the United States
in fifty years at 3 per cent, as proposed
in the Reilly bill, or even 2 per cent,
which the representatives of the com
pany were understood to be willing to
accept. Some regard should be had
for such conditions as have existed and
which are likely to arise again.”
USED THE HORSEWHIP.
Air*. Gustave Pabst, Formerly Margaret
Mather, Lashes Her Husband.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 4.—Mrs.
Gustave Pabst, formerly Margaret
Mather, the actress, created a sensa
tion near Twenty-ninth and Cedar
streets yesterday afternoon by strik
ing her husband, a son of the wealthy
brewer, several times with a horse
whip. What was the cause of the
trouble no one seems to know, but
numerous residents in the vicinity
were eye witnesses to the altercation,
which began in a buggy in which the
couple were ridiDg, and which ended
at the corner of Twenty-fourth and
State streets, where Mr. I'abst
wrenched the whip from his wife's
hand as the latter struck her husband
a blow full in the face.
Gustave Pabst and Margaret Mather
were married in November, 1802, but
the wedding was kept a .secret for
several months, creating a great sensa
tion when it finally became known.
The bride soon after left the stage
and has since lived quietly with her
husband in this city.
Friends of the couple give no ex
planation of the trouble and Mr. Pabst
has not been found since the en
counter.
Insurance Tax Money.
Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 4.—State
Auditor Seibert apportioned the $107,
608.84 county foreign insurance tax
moneys for 1803, now in the state treas
ury, to the various counties and the
city of St. Louis upon the basis of
11.39-8 cents per capita of school chil
dren, as shown by the last enumera
tion. This money is in lieu of county
and municipal taxes on the net premi
ums collected by foreign insurance
companies in 1894, and will, when paid
to the counties, be divided between
the revenue funds of the counties and
incorporated cities and towns.
PUGILISM KNOCKED OUT.
Thera Will Bs no Corbett-Fttsslmmons
FIglit In Tmh<.
Aesmr, Texas, Oct, 4.—There will
be no prize fight at Dallas October 31
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
This fact was settled yesterday after
noon by the Texas legislature in ex
actly three hours by the watch. The
two committees, one in the senate and
the other in the house, gave an audi
ence to tht Dallas attorneys all the
morning to ascertain their objections
and protests to the passage of the law.
After hearing the gentlemen until
noon, the two committees adjourned.
When the two houses met at 3 o'clock,
bothscommittces ivore ready to report
and the senate bill was very
promptly considered. From the time
the bill was placed before, the sen
ators to the time It passed was ex
actly fifty-live minutes. During this
time Senator Dean opposed the bill
and Senator Lasker spoke in its favor.
There were only two gentlemen who
spoke on the bill, the balance satisfy
ing themselves by voting. The vote
on the final passage of the bill was 37
ayes and 1 no. Dean being the nega
tive voter. The bill was immediately
sent over to the house and at 4 o'clock
that body bogan discussing it, substi
tuting the senate bill for the house
bill. After several gentlemen had
spoken on the bill and the emergency
feature, pro and con, a final vote was
reached at U o'clock precisely and the
bill passed the house by a vote of 110
ayes to five nays. Thus, within three
hours, did the Texas legislature for
ever put au end to prize fighting in
Texas.
• Governor Culberson’s friends con
sider it a great victory for him, and
lost no opportunity to congratulate
his excellency on the outcome of one
of tne Hottest and. it might be safely
termed, one of the bitterest, ns well
as the shortest, political lights ever
brought up in the Lone Star state on
any one single man. ,
The bill that will prohibit prizefight
ing in Texas in future, as passed, reads
as follows:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the leg
islature of the state of Texas, that
any person who shall voluntarily en
gage in a pugilistic encounter between
man and man, or a light between a
man and a bull, or any other animal,
for money or other thing of value, or
for any championship, or upon the re
sult of which any money or anything
of value is bet or wagered, or to see
which any admission fee :<a charged,
either directly or indiiectly, shall be
deemed guilty of a felony and. upon
conviction, shall be punished by im
prisonment in the penitentiary not
less than two nor more than five years.
Section 2. By the term “pugilistic
encouter,” as used in this act, is meant
any voluntary light or personal en
counter by blows by means of the fist,
or otherwise, whether with or without
gloves, between two men for money,
or for a prize of any character, or for
any championship, or for any other
thing of value, or upon the result of
which any money or anything of value
is bet or wagered.
Section 8. That all the laws and
parts of laws in conflict herewith be
and the same are hereby renealed.
Section 4. The fact that tliere is now
no adequate penalty against prize
fighting or pugilism, or against fights
between man and beast, creates an
imperative public necessity and emer
gency requiring the suspension of the
constitutional lule requiring bills to
be lead on three several days, and
that this law should take effect and be
in force from and after its passage,
and it is hereby so enacted.
WAGNER’S CONFESSION.
The Fallen Prlost of St. Joseph Makes a
Clean Breast.
St. Joseph, Mo., Oet. The Father
Wagner scandal is still the reigning
sensation in this town. The priest
has made a clean breast of the whole
matter.
He admitted that he had been inti
mate with Miss Steidel and stated that
the intimacy had extended over a
period of eighteen months. He
claimed that it was his intention to
resign from the priesthood and as soon
as that was accomplished he had in
tended to marry the girl and get out
of the country. He said that he had
several thousand dollars of his own
which had been left to him as a legacy,
his possession of which was not known
to the public, and with this money l.e
hud intended to take care of his wife
and engage in business. The confes
Sion was made in the presence of the
uncle of the girl, Alexander Podvant,
and at its conclusion the priest begged
Podvant to intercede with the mother
of the girl and allow him to make
what reparation was possible by mar
riage to the girl, whom he said he
dearly loved.
The mother of Miss Steklel isutterly
opposed to the union .of her daughter
with the disgraced priest, and declined
to listen to any overtures of that char
acter. The young woman is said to
favor the preposition, and it is under
stood that all of her relatives favor
the idea and will see if they can not
get Mrs. Steidel to look on the matter
favorably. Father Wagner asked Miss
Steidel and relatives to assist him in
stopping the prosecution against him,
and from indications he will probably
succeed.
Maude Steidel said her relations
with the priest began about a year
ago. She is willing to marry him,
and says in the event of a wedding
they will go to Chicago to reside.

SARCASTIC “TRUTH."
Suggests • Way for American Olrls to Got
Titles Without Marrying Noblemen.
London, Oct. 3.—Truth said yes
terday, commenting upon the
engagement between the duke
of Marlborough and Miss Van
derbilt: “British mammas and
their daughters will soon be clamoring
for protection if all the prizes in the
marriage market are to fall to the
American damsels. The mania for
title inherent in the Anglo-Saxon
it is in vain to contend aganlst.
But tho matter is somewhat
serious to the United States,
That country must be a great loser
through much of its. wealth crossing
the ocean. The Unitod States will do
well to manufacture the coveted titles
at home, for it is a wooden nutmeg
that is easily bought. Tho existence
of titles, it is true, is not in ac
cordance with tho simplicity of
republican institutions, but in view of
the heavy drain this might be
overlooked and tho parents of any
girl might bo allowed to buy her a
title, say for #200,000 (1,000,000.) The
public treasury would thus be filled
with _ dollars and the girl would
remain at homo. But there would
still be tho difficulty of find
ing husbands in the home market, for
the Americans are as strongly opposed
to becoming rich through their ladles
as the British noblemen are in favor
of this mode of enrichment.’'

Miniature Palatine an Exacting art.
Those who know only the finished
miniature, nnd hare no acquaintance
with the method of its production, esa
not conceive of the labor that it repre
senta Each of these tiny masterpieces1
—these ornaments with human identi
fication -these concentrated expressions
of pictorial art—stands for more toil,
of a peculiarly exacting sort, than tbs
largest canvas The brushes, some of
them containing scarcely half a dozen
hairs, make strokes so fine that most of
the painting must be done under a
magnifying glass. And the touchesoit
the frail bit of ivory must be as uner
ring as they are light, for the smallest
mistake may destroy the characteristic
translucence that constitutes the mini
ature’s greatest charm..
Appropriate to the election season it
an article' written by Mr. Edward J.
McDermott of Louisville, for tbeOcto
ber number of the Century, entitled
“fun on the Stump; Humors of Polit
ical Campaigning in Kentucky.” Mr.
McDermott has gathered many anec
dotes of omusing experiences at the
polls, but he laments the decline of
public speaking, which he declares is
by no means up to the old-time stand
ard in Kentucky.

The gun of Daniel Boone has beet
taken to Charleston, W. Va., and it is
said to be still capable of good execu
tion. Its stock and barrel are five feet
long and it carries an ounce ball. It
is a flintlock, of course. The gun has
been in the family of Nathan Boone
Van Bibber, back in the wilds of Nich
olas county. Matthias Tice Van Bib
ber received the gun from his friend
Boone and he carried it at the battle-of
Point Pleasant in 1774 and through the
war of 1813. Theoriginal powder horn
and bullet moulds are with the gun
Matthias Van Bibber left these relies
to CajC. C. R. Van Bibber, who left
them tn his ton. Kitl imn Itnnna Van
