To Redace t,se Surplus

WASHINGTON, April IS. Senator
Stewart OF Nevada had . long inter.
view with Secretary Window, in which
he tried to persuade the secretary TO In.
crease the monthly purchase Of silver.
This the Nevada senator argued was the
best way to reduce the surplus. Secre.
tary Window could not see just how
the surplus was reduced by giving out
green backs and getting silver In return.
He said he had some $50, 090, 900 silver
in the treasury vaqlts, some OF which
he would be very glad to part with. tt
purchase more silver would be simply
changing the shape of the surplus from
gold and paper to silver. Mr. Stewart
made the point that the purchase OF
silver brought millions of money from
the treasury and distributed it among
the people. Mr., Window said that il
would be impossible to take any actor
on the increased purchases of silver tun
til the subject has been very carefully
weighed ami considered by the prssi
dent and discussed in the cabinet meet
ings.
1t Is understood that the Nevada SEN
ator will soon have an interview with
President Harrison about the matter
and afterwards 1t ID expected it will be
come a special subject Tor discussion II
the cabinet meetings.
Mrs Abram Hewitt and her daughter
sailed for Europe. They will be Joined
in Scotland by Mr.. Hewitt.

reply I have to state that the act OF
|, March 2, 1899, to which Mr.. Sommers
refers. provides, as he states, that no one
shall be permitted to enter or acquire
any right to any of the Oklahoma lands,
to be disposed hereunder, who violates
its provisions by entering upon and oc
cupying the same prior to t2 o'clock
noon, of April %, 1883, the date fixei
in the president'sproclamatio OF Marcf
90, 1889, for the said lands to become
open to settlement The statute makes
no exception to this provision. / an
inclined to think, however, that whel
a person was already within these
lands on the date OF the approval of the
act, by proper authority, his presence
there should not be regarded as q viola
tton OF this provision of the act. This
primary jurisdiction to act upon appii
cations to enter rests with the distric'
