no Incentive for them to accept civilization

terror contains over 140 pages and deals
with the several important branches of

kota leading with 2,669,71S acres. Par

During the past year there was ex-
pended 81 ,203, 74S on 1888 Indian schools,
and the general condition of the Indians,
in their relation to the Government and
in the matter of their progress towards
civilization, is stated to be satisfactory.
Secretary Villas recommends that the
General Land Office be removed; that
additional room for the accommodation
of the Patent Office may be provided

Commerce Commission be made indie
pendent of the Interior Department, and
be required to report directly to the
President or Congress.
Altogether the report Is comprehen-
sive document and evidences the fidelity
with which the affairs of the Interior De-
| partment have been administered.
