SYNOPSIS CT THE RePoRr OF THE SEcRr-
rARY OF LHE INrERIoR.-The report CON-
mences with a summary Of the varied and
important duties devolved on the Depart
ment; alludes to the vaguensss Of the act OF
Congress which created it; and recommends
legislation to define with precision
its duties and powers, and also to remedy
the incongruity in the law in reference to
its designation.
A summary of the estimates for each
branch of the public service within the
jurisdiction Of the Department is given in
tubular form, and, compared with The es,i-
mate Of the present fiscal year for similar
services, by which it appears that the es-
innate for the next fiscal year exceeds that
for the present $l,727 $40 70. The causes
of this excess the Secretary fully explains,
examining the estimates item by item. The
sndeavor has been to cover the whole g.
mount of the probable expenditure for the
fiscal year, 20 that there may be no necss-
sity in future for estimating for deficiencies,
unless upon some unforeseen contingency.
The whole number of persons now on the
pension rolls of the United States, is 49,
|75S. But of these many are probably dead.
The whole number who have drawn pen
sions during the first and second quarters Of
the calendar year is 1919. The number
of deaths reported within the last year is
s46.
The benefciaries under the laws design
ed to provide for the soldiers of the r~evolu-
|tion and their widows are rapidly passing
away. But the number ofpensioners, under
other acts has been considerably augment
led in consequence of the wal with Mexico.
The whole amount expended for pensions
during the past year is estimated at 400,
600.
The whole number oflsnd warrants issued
for services in the revolutionary war is 49,
.5ss; in the war Of 1912, 2S,97s, number Of
claims for land warrants and scrip in lieu
thereof, for services in the Mexican war,
$s4,7O5. The number Of claims already
presented under the bounty land law OF
September last, up to the eth Of November;
was 9,4lS, and the number is increasing
rapidly. II is estimated that the whole
of claimants will be about 100000
The report Of the Commissioner Of the
General Land Office exhibits some very
interesting facts. The serveys Of che pub
lie lands have been pushed forward with
|commendable activity. The aggregate a.
mount of laad sold, located by warrants,
and otherwise disposed of in the LIST, I'd.
and part of the Sd quarters Of 1850, is g.
sl5,306 AZ acres. The public lands have
been a rich source of revenue to the gov.
eminent, averaging about one and g quar-
ter millions of dollars per mum for the
last fifty years, v % and above all costs
and expenses.
With regard to the mineral lands, the
Secretary recommends that they be divid-
cd into small tracts, snd sold in fee simple
to the highest bidder at public auction
The extent Of the lots should depend on
the apparsnt richness Of mines; but they

crease ; North Carolina has 800. 600, being
an increase of as 5sl, or only about six
per cent. South CaroIia has 500, 900 being
an increase Of only A, 70l-less than eight
per cent. We have returns from only one
other Southern State, that is Georgia, the
population of which is now l,000,0 0O, show
ing an increase of 30S, sos, or about forty
five per cent.
The ratio of increase in the whole Union,
ESTIMATED from the returns received Of
seventeen, is about 80 per cent, That Of
Georgia is fifteen per cent, ahead Of the
average; that of South Carolina is twenty
two, and North Carolina twenty-four per
lceut, below the average. In the Northern
Estates heard from, the rate Of increase is
uniformly ver twenty per cent.
The Peoria Republican contains the
following startling account Of murder and
highway robbery, and the killing Of two
of the robbers: "We are informed that
Mr.. Jesse Funk, an extensive cattle deal
er of Funk's Grove, Mclean county, was
murdered and robbed Oh the 9th inst, q

considerable AMOUNT of money, intending
to purchase cattle for the Chicago market,
and on Tuesday last was overtaken and at

ASSISTANTS dead, and wounded another; the
third man, however, fired and killed him.
The son of Mr.. Funk, who had been de.
tanned on the road, arrived at the scene Of
the ARRAY a short time after the death oil

robber a confession of the crime and q de.
scription of the william who had escaped
