TELLER TALKS.
The Report of the Secretary
of the Interior.
Decided Stand Against Fencing
the Public Domain.
His Views of Indian Leases of
Grazing Lands.


The report of the Secretary of the Int
rior has just been issued. As Secretary
Teller is a Western man his report and
recommendation upon matters of impor-
lance to the people of the West, have
been awaited with no little interest.
Referring to the illegal fencing of pub
lie lands the Secretary says:
In my last annual report l called atten-
ton to numerous complaints made con
corning the Illegal fencing of public land,
and urged some legislation by which such
illegal fences might be summarily removed
without the delay and expense of a suit in
court. l regret to say that Congress has
SO far failed to take action on this subject.
A number of suits have been instituted
by the Department Of Justice at the re-
quest of this Department, to compel the
parties to remove such fences, but such
proceedings involve much time and delay,
and if the parties defendants desire to
continue in possession of such fenced
lands, appeals will be taken to the SUI
preme Court Of the United States, and
the Government put to great expense and
the land withheld from occupation under
the settlement laws. 1 trust that some
legislation my be had that will enable
the Department in a summary way to de-
stroy these fences where the builders re-
fuse to take them down. 1t has been
claimed by some that the power exists in
the Department to destroy these fences as
Instructions on the public lands. If this
is 20 the Department has no means at its
disposal to pay the expenses of such re-
moval, neither has the Department of
Justice. Authority should be given to
remove such distractions. and provision
made for the payment of persons employ
ed to do such work.

The Structure Over Dale Greek Par
TALLY Burned Yesterday.

SHERMAN. Wyo., November Is
About 3 O'Clock this afternoon the large
Dale Greek BRIDGE, which crosses that pic
turesque stream about three miles west of
this point. was discovered to be on fire.
About $50 feet of the west end of the
bridge, consisting of the old wooden part,
was burned.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from Goals dropped from a passing freight
engine. 4 temporary bridge will be in
place so that trains may pass within
twenty-four hours. The passengers and
the mail and express matter will be trans
ferred in the morning. The fire
was discovered by the engineers Of
freight train No. 9 which ran down to the
bridge before the engineers detected the
fire. When within a few feet of the
bridge the engineers saw that the bridge
was burning, reversed their engines and
succeeded in stopping, but not until the
front trucks of the leading engine rested
on the bridge.
1.-THE Westbound express train, due to
leave this city at Clio last evening was
detained here until 4 o'clock this morn
ing pending preparations for transferring
passengers, together with the express
matter and the mails. The passengers
will probably cross the bridge on foot, the
mail and express being transported on
hand cars. Ed

valuable tracts of land fit for agriculture
can be held by Indians for either hunting
or grazing lands to the exclusion of actual
settlers.
There have been frequent complaints
made by stockmen and settlers in the
northern portion of Montana and Wyo-
ming of d~epredations by Indians on their
stock, necessitated by the want of supplies
on the part of the Indians. l called at
tention to these complaints in my last
report. l regret to say but little has
been done to remove this cause of
complaint. The game has been destroyed
to such an extent that it is impossible for
any considerable number of Indians to
live by the chase, and it cannot be expect
ed that Indians will starve in the neigh
borhood of extensive herds of cattle.
White men would not, under such circum-
stances, and we cannot demand of the
Indians what we would not demand of
the whites under like conditions. 1t may
be said that the Indians should work, and
not steal for a Lying; but it mus be re-
membered hat these people have been
educated to believe hat theft is a virtue,
and not a crime, if the property stolen is
the property of an unfriendly Indian or
white man Until We have given these
Indians an opportunity to earn their liv-
ing by some kind Of manual labor, we
ought not to complain of their deprel la
tons. 1t is not, however, to be expected
that the settlers and stockmen will submit
to the loss Of their stock because the Gov
eminent has failed in its duty toward the
Indians, and the inevitable result of such
depredations is to bring on a conflict be-
tween the Indians and white settlers, and
in the present condition of affairs the In
dian is sure TO get the worst of such con-

WASHINGTON, November 2s.-The an
nual report of Treasurer Wyman, of the
United States, shows that the net reve-
nues of the Government we're less than in

eous sources, 49, 49, 24s. From the ag-
gregate of these items should be deducted
an increase of 81, 1854, $40 in the receipts

pendit1res aggregated $244, 1876, PA,
a decrease from the amount
in 1883, of s2l, 2Sl, 1893. The

After a long and painful silence Govern.
or Ordway has permitted himself to be
interviewed by the Washington CORE.
spondent of the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
This is what the interviewer credits him
with saying:
Gov. N. G. Ordway OF Dakota arrived
here this evening from bis home in New
Hampshire, with an invalid daughter.
whom he expects to take to the Bot
Springs in Arkansas, for very acute
case of nervous paralysis, or sciatica. In
response to an inquiry as to whether he
had seen reports that memorial against
his reappointment was being signed in
southern Dakota. the governor said he
saw statement to that effect in the
Critic purporting to come from Huron,
Dakota. As that was the point selected
by ex-Judge Campbell & 90. for hatch.
ing their revolutionary state scheme, he
would not be at all surprised if some
movement of the kind was on
foot. Petitions bearing any number of
signatures could easily be procured, ~
the persons copying them usually put az
many names to them as were needed.
The governor said it was not an uncom.
mon occurrence for him to receive sworn
petitions for the organization of new
counties purporting to Lave been signed
BY tive or ten times the number of actual
settlers in the county. The governor
says he courts the striotest investigation
OF all his official acts. and thinks it would
be more manly for his assailants to pre-.
sent sworn charges to the president that
ne may have chance to vindicate him.
self and make his traducers aus.
wer before the courts at the
capital for perjury and criminal
libel. As to his reappointment or con.
tlnuance in Office, it does not give him
the least concern, since he would gladly
have resigned long ago but for the inde.
cent and constant warfare which the
Sioux Falls and Yankton rings have
waged against him. A citizen Of Huron
writes that the most thorough canvass
possible 10 being made of the territory
for the purpose OF receiving signers to
petitions to the president against the
reappointment OF Gov. Ordway. He
thinks 10000 names will be placed to the
petitions. and that there can be no good
grounds for the resppointment of the
executive.
Tho governor affects careless, off.
hand manner which comports with his
usual habit when endeavoring to explain
away the effect of damaging allegations
against him. It will be difficult to trace
the connection between petition by the
people and Campbell & Co.'S revolu.
tlonary state scheme" but it become 9
habit for him to traduce somebody iu
making his own defences, and this per.
haps answers the purposes of the moment
His statement in regard to petitions fol
the organization Of counties is fragrant
reflection upon the people he has shame
fully ill.treatsd in denying them th.
privilege of self-government long aftel
their population was counted by thous
ands. Tho only instance which vii
VERT his statement upon this point j,
that of Douglas county, where he mad,
such indecent haste to organize that b,
has since been suspected of collusioI
with the promoters of subsequent fraud
ulent transactions. The investigation,
he courts is liable to come.
