states that the population Of the territory IS
now 416, 600 as against 135, $50, when the led.
eral census was taken in 1880. The report
states that the year has been q very prosperous
one. Not only have the crops been excellent
but the prices commanded have been very
much in advance Of those realized a year ago
With the exception of wheat, the aggregate
yield of small grains for 1885 is largely In ex-
cess Of that Of the preceding year. SURVEYS Of
a number OF new lines Of railroads have been
ments have been started In the past few years
embracing WOODEN mills, Touring mills, quar-
rieS, creameries, machine shops, etc
The report bespeaks q kindly reception by
Congress Of the appeal made by the constitu-
ional convention for admission of the territory
ceseity Of protecting the school lands in the ter.
ritory from squatters. The report suggests that
the Indian reservation in the territory be cut
up and the land given TO the Indians In sever
atty. The hope Is expressed that the govern
ment will reimburse those settlers who went
faith and were ordered of by the Presidents
proclamation. The territorial tax levy for all
purposes, including interest on the public debt
was but three mills on the dollar during the
present year, and the financial condition is a
cause of congratulation. The immigration has
size from Pennsylvania ana other eastern states
have purchased tracts of land. The death rate
was 5.45 to the thousand, which is said to
be among the smallest ia the country.

Chief.

the Freedman's hospital, in his annual report
to the Secretary of the Interior, states that
during the year there have been 2 900 patients
admitted and treated, Of which ], 1875 were
colored and 725 were white. OF the colored
676 were male and 619 were females. OF the

The whole number admitted was ,794, an in
crease of 2S5 over last year. About $50 ex-
soldiers have been admitted and treated. Only
one death occurred. and that Of patient who
had been in the hospital only "a hours. The
recommendation of last year Is renewed
that persons suffering from alcoholism SO as to
affect the mind permanently, should be sent to
an insane asylum. and that cases arising from
habit, desire, aud general tendency to de-
bauchery should be treated as misdemeanOr
and punishment should be imposed not by fine,
but by confinement, and the party be COM
PEELED to work. The best protective treatment
is to make the obtaining of liquors difficult.
Sellers should be made responsible If they sell
to persons who are addicted to drinking and
they too should be punished by fine and the
privilege to sell liquor forfeited. In the DIS
pensary attached 2,S79 persons have been pre-
scribed for. As usual there have been a large
number of consumptives admitted. During the
year los cases were treated. The mortality was

Whether tobacco caused the cancer OF Gen.
Grants tongue is @ question which may never
be decided TO the satisfaction of all, but that
Gen. Grant advised Others not 10 smoke can no
longer be disputed. Rev. s. ii. Lee, OF Vermont,
says that In 1850 he met the general in the
office OF q Wall street banker and during their
conversation inquired if IL true that he told
the boys in Girard college he was glad they
were forbidden to smoke, because IL they did not
do so i'm later years. Not only did Gen Grant
answer in the Affirmative, but declared that '.if
1 could have my way i would let nobody
"whatever 1t may do 10 men, IL IL certainly bad
for the young" His words should be often re-
peated by those who desire TO check the of
tobacco, which undoubtedly has become 80
great an evil that IL seriously Injuries very many
neOnIe.

with the firm of Grant & Ward with having
swindled the Marine Bank, was continued to-
day before u. S. Commissioner Shields. U. 8.
Grant, jr, was called by the defense and iden-
tilted q monthly statement of Grant
4 Ward, representing profits on a
flour contract. Several other documents
were identified by the witness, who said that
he was led to believe by Ward that the con-
tracts were perfectly legitimate agreements.
At the time of the failure witness had contracts
representing $780, 900 in his hands, which he
believed to be valid. The witness did not take
out as much money at any time rs ne mt into
he firm. He did not know many of
the people who had dealings Win the
firm of Grant & Ward. In regard to Warmers
dealings with the firm he said that he supposed
that the latter was advancing money on -four
notes and contracts.
This concluded MIR. Grants testimony.
Col. Bliss, OF the defense, said he understood
that the district attorney intended to put War
ner's case before the grand jury sometime this
week. He desired to protest against such pro-
cedur1 as the case should be allowed to pro-
coed to a finish before the commissioner. The
case was then adjourned.
