 EDITOR OITIZKN:-I find the following in your published report of the U. s, Surveyor General:
 Since 1885 Congress has failed to ap propriate one dollar for work of this character in this office, and hence but little work has been done. The claim ants of land grants were particularly fortunate from Oot 29, 1879 to Sept. IF, 1885. that the Surveyor-Gsnersl had ample funds to investigate these claims, ss twelve of them, embracing thousands Of acres Cf valuable agricultural land were favorably reported on and reoom- mended for confirmation, while but one was rejected"
 On the score of partisan mslignity, the above may be excused and not other wise. No fair. intelligent gentleman would have made the last statement. ing nearly half the area of sll those presented. were declared forged snd fraudulent and recommended for reiec- tion; three-iOurths ct the large San Ra- fael de la ZaDis was strongly recom- mended for rejection, and large areas claimed in petitions for several other valid grants, were refused favorable re- commendatiOn. The Aribsc claimant wanted fully twice The amount recon nended for confirmation. The fact Is that of ike aggregate area of claims pre- sented for exsmin stiop from 1879 to lss2 fully one half was decidedly refused fla vorable recommendation.
 While in office I did not officially be lie the records of my own office and of my country on any account
 Very Respectfully,

TIE whereabouts of Stanley, the Afri- can explorer, is painful mystery, with the chances Of success. or even life, dead against him. Two years ago he set ont to relieve EmIn Bey and now sn e1- petition Is being formed in London to relieve him. ZBnibsr dispatches com ment gloomily on the outlook and the
 reports taken there regarding both Bey and Stanley are far from reassur- ing. or the former provisions are said to be scarce and difficult
 icult to procure and his troops were discouraged. On April 4th, E ain re- ceived ssummons from the Mshdi to sur render threatening to attack if he refused Emin also received 6 letter pur- porting to be from Upton Bey, urging him to surrender as the only msans to avoid 0 massacre. Emin's outposts confirmed the reports of the Nah dis advance, stating that scouts on armed vessels had appeared at the confluence of the Nile. Emin con sidered the letter but decided to Bd- vance himself with the bulk Of bis troops by the left bank of the Nile and endesvor to surprise the Mshdi, com penssting for his lack of provisions by the rspidity of his attack. He was much discouraged however. by the non-srrival of Stanley. From vague report. filter cd from tribe 10 tribe, it was reported that Stanley WAS denuded of men and supplies, and hemmed between the Ma- bods country and the Albert NysnEs.

volume. moreover, considerably increased

the minimum distance of the lightning

marks that when flash of lightning
strikes the ground, it Is not necessarily
from the place struck that the first noise
is heard. Again, he points out that a
