Department of the Interior.

We have received the annual report of the
Secretary of the Interior. As we cannot find
room for it entire, we give the following alb
stract
Mr.. McClclland believes that the land sys-
TEN needs but little change. During the
year. 9,Sl0,4ll acres have been surveyed.
1868 ,S9l acres brought into market, and
| .OS3 ,493 acres sold. The number of land
warrants issued up to the 30th September
last was 2GG,0l2. Of which there were then
outstanding 63 ,o47 The total number Of
acres called for by the land warrants, 25,-
1884 $40
The entire area Of the public domain is cs-
tim1ted at l,i3i COS GOO OF acres. It's pur-
chase was effected at tno rate of ll.4l cent.
per acre, amounting to S61 ,9o9,I00. Add
the Indian Reservation, valued at ~ ,25O, ,9O3.
and adding the cost of selling lands sold pre-
,ious to June last, the entire cost, excluding
surveying, amounts to $SS,994 ,0lj. The
whole amount accruing from sales up to dune
80, 1858, was Sl42, ,283 ,l76, being S53 ,2oo.-
46j more than the cost of the whole. 1t is
estimated that the net amount which will
have been realized for them is the sum Of
S33l ,lSl .369
The policy Of bringing the lands into
market at the earliest possible day is urged.
The Secretary has no doubt of the constitu-
tionality Of grants of the public lands for
public improvements.
The business of the Pension olhcc has boon
conducted with promptness. The great
number of fraudulent pensions is referred to,
and the Secretary recommends law similar
to that or 1919, requiring an immediate cx-
animation of the invalid pensioners, and n
biennial examination thereafter by two ap-
proved surgeons A revision and codilication
Of the pension laws is recommended.
The operations in the Census Office are pro-
crossing in due order. The fostering care Of
the general government is invoked for the
District Of Columbia and the necessity for
additional public edilices is strenuously
urged.
1t is hoped the building for the insane of
the District of Columbia will he finished by
the lst Of next August.
In this report, no unnecessary language is
used, and the subjects that Gu.,e under dis
cussion are treated in u brief and comprchcn-
sive style.
