OF more than forty years standing which
have been sanctioned by the courts and
recognized by congress. lie cites numerous
decisions Of the United States supreme
court recognizing the right of the exec
utive departments to set apart, or re-
serve or withdraw from settlement portions
of the public lands without the express
authority OF congress. He encloees copies
of the decisions, proclamations and other
forms OF orders by which entries upon Ger
tain tracts of land have been prohibited
from 1928 to the present day, and attaches
maps showing the location and extent of
such lands and the purposes for which they
have been reserved. He argued that the
only question remaining is the extent to
which the right to suspend the operation
of the laws governing the public lands
should be exercised. Ii he has the
authority to suspend the land laws in re-
laton to l 900 or 1OO, 900 acres he must
have the right to apply that authority to an
indefinite number Of acres. III he can
withdraw from settlement a certain town
ship, why not all townships when a neces-
sity exists therefor? Having convinced
himself that the authority was vested il
him, and recognizing the necessity for its
exercise he issued his order. The rush OF
land seekers to the West is unprecedented,
because it was believed that congress would
repeal the preemption and timber culture
acts and at nearly every land office the en-
tries are so numerous that the officials are
compelled to work night and day and then do
not keep up with current business. This great
demand was for speculative purposes and
not for actual settlement; and, after con
suItation with the most distinguished
members OF the Senate and house OF repre-
sentatives, he decided to issue the order
and suspend the operation of the law until
congress had acted upon the bill repeating
them.
He justifies his action as necessary for
the protection OF the public domain from
thieves and swindlers and rather reflects
upon Secretary Lamar for revoking it.

The Presidents Fortune.

The Washington Sunday Capital says
that the presidents salary is paid him in
monthly installments-$4, $3.50 on the
last day of each month-and the treasurer
always makes it a point to send him notes
OF the latest issue. Mr.. Cleveland, as his
predecessors have done, keeps II private
bank account with Riggs Il Co., and makes
a deposit the first OF every month, reserv-
ing enough of his salary to pay current
expenses and setting good example
by putting the rest aside for a
rainy day. | am told that his ac-
count has shown q balance as large
as $35, OOO as he has ar income aside
from his official salary. While he has
never been q money getter he has earned in
his profession all he has ever made. Mr..
Cleveland has an economical disposition,
and no luxurious tastes like his Immediate
predecessor. Before he entered public life
he was making from SO, 900 to ST. 900 n
year by his practice and could have lived
like lord. His expenses, am told, were
never more than So, 800 year, and he en-
joyed himself as much as most men do.
His frugal habits were acquired in youth
for he was not born with golden, or even
q silver, spoon in his mouth, and he has
found his pleasure in hard work. The
presidents Buffalo friends estimate that
he was worth from $1,000 to $75, 600
when he was elected, and has already in
creased that amount considerably by prof
liable investments and by the surplus OF
his salary

the apparent consumption was about
%, 600, 900 bushels, according to our cal
culatlons, the exports are reported US hay
ing been about 81 900, 900 bushels during
this time. This would make an aggregate
OF l2l ,ooo, 900 bushels disposed of, leaving
O,ooo. 900 bushels rs the aggregate sup
ply on May |.
The statement OF the department OF ngri-
culture now quoted in speaking of the sup
plies of wheat and flour not embraced with
iii its exhibits says the addition OF this
quantity might suffice for the consump-
ton for two months AS 81, 600, 600
bushels is given as an estimate OF the ma
tural requirements for consumption Tor
four months, from May | to Sept. |, it
would follow that Il bout Il, 600, 600 bushels
is accepted us approXmating these sup
plies OF wheat and Hour, which quantity
added to lOl 900, 600 bushels as the re-
ported stocks of wheat, makes an aggregate
OF Is, 600, 600 bushels as the implied total
for the entire country OF wheat and Hour
compared with the Price Current s
estimate of 100, 900, 900 bushels
for the same date. The probable position
on July L. is estimated follows: With
consumption about I6 600. 600 and cX-
ports 10, 600, 600 there will be approx
imately 80, 900 600 bushels disposed of
i'll twomonths. This rate OF consumption
exceeds the official calculation.) Deduct
ing 60, 900, 900 from 15o, 600, 600 as the
supply on May l leaves $4,000, 900 bush
els as the indicated supply for July |. In
as much as wheat to some extent is mar
keted from the new crop i'll June, and quite
considerably in July, it is not much out
OF the way to assume that the current
disposition OF wheat after the LIST OF July
will be practically covered by the market
ing ofthe new crop, so that the calculation
for July l will be substantially the mini
mum point in the question Of available
supply.

MORE PRESIDEN tIAL VETOES.

Washington, Special Telegram, June 2l.
Those who have been watching to Sc what
effect the presidents wedding would have
upon his official Conduct got good deal
ot information to-day. Assistant Serre-
tary Fruden carried an armlul ri Netoes
to the capitol, which he divided about
equally between the senate and the house.

which the president scolded congress for
passing so many pension bills and enact

The Custer Massacre Revived.

Bismarck, Oak, Special: Capt. Godfrey,
Lieut.. Slocum, Surgeon Porter and other
survivors OF the ill-fated Custer expedition
have gone to the HISTORIC battle field TO prop
erly observe the tenth anniversary Of the
massacre, in which over three hundred
whites under Gen. Custer were engaged and
not II single one escaped, The Sioux Chief
Gaul, now at Standing Rock agency, was in
command of the Indians who massacred
Custer and his companions, but until now
has maintained silence as to the details OF
massacre. He has consented, after ten
years to go with the party and ex plain just
how the massacre occurred, the point Of
attack, etc. 1t has never been shown by
any one who was there. The prevalent
opinion that Sitting Bull was in command
is erroneous. Gaul was the warrior who
led in the disaster to the crack regiment Of
the United States army.

ESOUGHAND TO SPARE.
An Interesting Statement Regarding
Wheat Supplies for the Coming Year In
This Country.

A statement has been submitted by the
department Of agriculture to the house of
Representative intended to show the stocks
Of wheat on May l and the probable re-
quirements OF wheat to the 1st OF Septem-
Der. The exhibit gives 60, 600, 900 bushels
as farmers stocks on May /, which, added
to the reported visible supply, A 900, OOO
makes a total OF 1O4, OOO, 900 bushels for
the United States. These stocks do not in
clude wheat in ware houses not embraced
ia the whole visible-suppy statement nor
in the hands Of milers nor represented in
flour throughout the country. The farm
ers' reserves are stated as mainly in Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Ne
braska and Dakota.
The consumption for four months to
Sept l Is placed at $4,000 900 bushels,
exports estimated at 10000, 900, max
ing total Of 1O4, 100000 bushels
as the probable requirements for the
period. The Cincinnati Price Current
has investigated the statement and
finds it's figures corroborated by the
official statement. The calculations Of the
Price Current gave 273 600, 900 bushels as
the entire supply OF wheat and flour in the
country on Jan. !, 1886, exclusive OF a
