pecn,ia, pen,iou Order.

Washington, Dec. l5-Commissioner
Black, Of the pension office, issued a
very peculiar. order to day, in~strucsing
the examiners of pensions that hereafter
the credibillty of witnesses in pension
cases will not be questioned. Hereto
fore it has been the custom to write to
poRtmasters and other officials asking
for information as to the reputation and
reliability of witnesses in pension cases.,
in order that the government might be
protected, bus the practice is to be dis
continued, and pensions are to be grant
ed apon whatever prSmG Jdcas evidence
the claimant feels disposed or ls able to
file. This opens the door to any amount
of fraud. The order also prohibits the
writing of more than two letters from the
pension Office about any one clam. This
is for the purpose of economizing the
time of the clerks. Very often twenty
and sometimes thirty letters are written
in reference to one claim. The same
order prohibits clerks ID the record roo
from making briefs. Heretofore each
csse has been brlefed and an examiner
has simply to examine the brief in order
to ascertain any information he wants
about the case. This new rule, also, FOL
the purpose of economizing the time
but Is entirely impracticable, because
while it will save time in the RECORD
room, it will add very much to thu
labors of the examiners, who will hav,
to hunt through all the documents flee
to find information that has heretofor'
been included in briefs. The same orde
prohibits the rejection of any claims
Such cases are to be fled away, but ar
not to be placed on record as rejected
This will give the claimant an opportu
nifty to have them reopened at any time

Northern Pacific LANDS.

Washington, Dec. l6-An inquiry at the
general land office to-day concerning the
recent decision of the United States
supreme court by which the treasurer
of Trail county, Dakota, Is enjoined
from collecting taxes upon lands grant
ed the Northern Pacific railroad com
papy, elected substantially the follow
ing statements: In 1870 when making
an appropriation for the survey of lands
granted the Northern Pacific company,
congress added a proviso that before
title shall pass from the government
there shall first be paid into the treasury
of the United States the cost of survey
ing, selecting and conveying the sam e
by the company or party in interest.
The Northern Pacific company has never
asked for or received patents upon its
lands IL Dakota, but has left the title
in the government, thereby relieving
the company from the cost of making
the surveys and from the burden of local
taxation.
1t is further said by general land office
officials that even if congress should de-
clare q forfeiture of the entire Northern
Pacific land grant for alleged non-com,
pliance with some of the terms of the
charter, the bona fide settler would in DC
manner suffer, as his claim is held 10 be
superior to all others, and that hardship
would result only to land spectators
and owners by purchase from the rail.
road company of large tracts. In these
cases recourse could be held only upor
the railroad COMPANY.

final report as to the wheat crop in the
state of California from a statlstican at
San Francisco. According to this re-

In the grain a great many empty heads
were found which cut down the yield
considerably. He estimates the total
yield at co. 900, 900 bushelu, that Is 5000
900 or 100000 bushels less than any

tlemen Is to cut large drain ditch
from the north fork nf the COeur
d'Alene river to Murray, and thus
give bcdrUcb driinage to all the

this matter. Probably from the
start money will be taken out,
enough, perhaps, TO pay expenses

will be so. On completion Of the
