Land Office Operations.

Commissioner Sparks, of the general
land Office, has submitted to the Secretary
of the Interior, his report of the operations

sales, entries and selections of public lands
under various acts of Congress, says the
report. embraces 20, 991, 967 acres, and OF
Indian lands, 1,132,596 acres, making q
total of %, 1874, G6S acres, being an increase
over last year of 1,120,050 acres. The pub
lie surveys reported during the year en-
braced 2,302,376 acres. Speaking of sur
veys, the report says: In Dakota the east
ern half Of the Territory has been surveyed
except in portions along the international
boundary line of the Turtle Mountain
region. The surveyed area of this Terri
tory is about 47.0OO,OOO acres. The work
of the office is reviewed at length, showing
that !, OS7 cases OF entries were investigated
OF which l,16S, embracing 175,O0O acres,
were cancelled as fraudulent, and 1,4S5
cases, containing 225, 900 acres, have been

600 unlawful Enclosures, containing 7,41O,-
600 acres, and that the proceedings to COM
pei the removal Of fences have been COM
menced in Lightweight cases, involving

Dakota's Wonderful Growth.

Gov. Pierce, of Dakota, has submitted
his report to the Secretary of the Interior
Oh the subject and growth of the develop
ment Of the Territory. The Governor
quotes at some length from the report of
the Commissioner Of immigration, which
says there were 22,431 new filings on public
lands during the year under three general
land laws, divided as follows: Home
steads, 7,466; pre- emptions, 1884, and
tree claims, 7,O71. The area newly filed
on during the year was 3,565,366 acres.
There were 1892 final proofs made during
the year. The total increase in the popu-
lation of the Territory for the year is esti-
mated at $4,000, giving Dakota popula-
ton on June 80, 1856, Of fully 100000. The
railroad building of 1886, says the report,
bids fair to be much greater than for any
previous year in the history of the Terri
tory. In conclusion, the Governor dis
cusses the subject of the admission of
Dakota into the Union, and adds: Il re-
new my recommendation most earnestly
that this great people be no longer kept
from their rightful heritage, but be per-
mitted share Of voice in that government
they honor by their public spirit and sus-
tain by their industry"

The Anti.Chinese Law.

The Collector of Customs at San Fran
cisco has informed the Treasury Depart
ment of the difficulties encountered in the
enforcement of the Chinese restriction law.
1t appears that seven Chinese in transit
from New York to Hong Kong. and three
others from Kong Kong to Honolulu, have
not yet departed from San Francisco, al
though they have had ample time. The
Collector expresses apprehension that these
persons do not intend leaving the country,
and even if they do it is their purpose to
fraudulently obtain return certificates in
order to establish the right to come and go
at will. The Collector also calls attention
to the practice of the Federal Courts in
landing Chinese laborers on writs Of ha-
beas corpus and releasing them on bail
after the Collector has examined into their
cases and refused to allow them to land.
This practice, he says, is substantially an
abrogation of the law. Acting Secretary
Fairchild advises him to bling the facts
stated by him to the notice Of the United
States attorneys for the respective districts

Disastrou. Hurricane.

Dispatches from New Orleans give de-
tails of the extensive damage caused by a
hurricane which swept over the Gulf, and
which is said to have been the most ter
rife storm experienced in that region since
1860 For thirty-six consecutive hours the
wind blew a regular hurricane from the
northeast, driving the water from the bay
and destroying the property of the inhabit-
ants. The storm, or more properly called,
cyclone, was of such violence as to tear
away old levees of seven years standing,
carrying destruction to late rice planters.
Distressing news has been received from
the lower coast regarding the effects of the
storm. The water in the town of Pointe n
Ia Hache, in Plaqumine Parish, is several
feet deep, having been driven in from the
gulf. Many persons took refuge in the
court house and Jail. The water rushed in
with such force that it carried everything
before it. The levees, which along that
section are very low, were overlooked and
swept away and the water rushed into the
Mississippi River, carrying with it all the
rice stacked on the farms in the vicinity Of
Pointe q la Hache, and for q distance of
twenty miles below. The damage is esti-
mated at 100000. Dispatches from towns
on the Mississippi coast report gale pre-
vaillng all day on Mississippi Sound. The
steamer Chalmette, Capt. Byrne, arrived
from New York, and reported that she
came by the inside route along the Florida
coast and encountered heavy easterly gales,
with heavy rains from Tortugas TO Port
Eads. Heavy gales were experienced with
high and irregular seas. The seas ran
high continually, flooding the vessel decks,
and also her staterooms fore and aft. The
velocity of the wind was thirty six to forty
miles ner hour.

An Entirely New Question.

A new question has arisen in civil SER
vice matters, which comes up from the
Baltimore Examining Board. One of the
eligibles, who stands high up in the clerical
list, has left the state, and there is said to
be good reasons for believing he will not
return, Oh account of some legal difficulty,
The question is whether his Il anne should
be allowed to remain on the list or should
be taken off. If allowed to stand on the
list, it must be sent with three other names
to the appointing power when a certifica-
ton is called for. That same class which
operates to send him away from the state,
it is believed, would tend to prevent his ap-
pointment. AS every person eligible is en-
titled to four certifcations before being
dropped, the name in question would have
to be sent with others four times to the ap-
pointing power, to the exclusion of others
whose averages are below his, and who
when reached would stand chance of get
ting place.

Condition Of Cro,,s.

The report Of the Department of Agrcul-
ture for October gives local estimates Of the
yield per acre of small grains, with the con-
dition of corn, potatoes and other late
crops. The results corroborate previous
returns of wheat, confirming expectations
of q slight decrease from the first records
of thrashing, without making any very ma
terial addition to the crop aggregate. The
average yield upon al acre Of fully 37,OOO,-
900 acres appears to be close to 124 bushels
per acre, making crop of an average of Il
series of years. The area actually harvest
ed is now the principal object of exact de-
termination, and the result Will vary little
from an increase of 10O,OOO,OOO over the
crop of last year. State averages of the
principal States are: New York, II BUSH
els; Pennsylvania, 10; Kentucky, Ills;
Ohio, 1871; Michigan, 1863; Minnesota, 1876;
Iowa, 1875; Missouri, 1885, Kansas, II S;
Nebraska, SO; Dakota, lO.5; California,
Ills; Oregon, 1875. The average yield per
acre of oats is 2G.5 bushels, making a crop
of ovcr 600,0O0,0OO bushels. The Ohio
Valley averages over 80 bushels per acre,
Iowa over "a bushels. with lower yields in

An Important Decision.

An important land Office decision has
been made by Commissioner Sparks, in
volving the title to certain valuable lands in
the vicinity of New Orleans, covered in part
by the town of Carrollton, and upon other
parts by buildings and improvements of
great value, including race-course, the
Metoric Ridge Cemetery and Shell Road
and railroad from New Orleans to Lake

claimed and possessed since the middle of

had been surveyed and segregated from the
public domain. Adverse claimants asserted
title by virtue of certain svamps and other
selections under the grant to the State OF
Louisiana. The Commissioner holds that
the French grant is a complete title pro-
tected by the treaty of 1908, and not need
ing legislation or other confirmation by the
United States, and that the lands being
private property at the date of the State
grants did not pass under those grants.
The amount involved in this decision reach
