of settlers to perfect the title to lands
formerly occupied by the ,Millee Lac
Indians in Minnesota. These entri, 8

subsequently congress suspended all
action ON such entries until further legis-
lation on The ground that the Indians
were permitted by treaty tn occupy lands
during good behavior. In 1882 congress
provided for the cession of the Chippewa
reservation. by negotiation reserving to the
Indians the right to take their allotments
on their reserv ton, and providing that
nothing in the act should affect the right
OF prior settlers to prove up their claims.
Indians signed this agreement and have
to remove to White Earth
reservation, The secretary holus that the
Indians were not entitled to take allot-
ments on lands occupied by them for the
reasons that they lad c.ded all rights to
the same IN 1853. and that the lands were
not in the reservation. He further -tates
that nn act of 1889 was "further legisla-
tion" contemplated by congress when the
entries were suspended. He therefore
directs that the cases of the settlers BE-
up and disposed of on their merits.
This decision involves the rights Of very
large numbers of settlers.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-Estimates of
the products of cor and wheat of 1890
was completed by the statlstician of the
department of agriculture, making the
corn aggregate 1,4S5, 100000 bushels,
wheat 800, 262, 900 bushels, oats 1913, 62l 600
bushels. The bureau of corn, which was
lightly impressed in plantin =, was re-
duce't by utter failure and abandonment
OF more than 6,0OO,0O0 acres. The area
harvested being 1870, 1853 acres. The
average yield per acre was 20.7 bushels
and the supply for consumption per head
of the population is 90 bushels on II
bushels less than last year. The rate of
yield was lower in 1887 and 1881, years of
very severe drought.
The aggregate wheat area ia 36 1857, 154
acres, nearly the same as in 1873, and the
yield per acre is Ill bushels. These are
bushels, of a quality grading
lower than usual, the weight
OF which will be given in the March re-
port. Past records have shown that the
annual differences in the weight of the
crop are not often more than u pound
a owe Or below the average weight for a
series Of years, the lowest for seven years
Icing Of in 1888 and highest-5S.5 in
1887. The yield per acre is the same as
in 1883. when the product was nearly
bushels, and with two excpp
tlnns Is the lowest rate during the past
decade. The December condition OF the
growing wheat crop is returned at 9S4
and of rye SO. This IS better than the

Stewart Introduces a Proposition

Amendment.

SN " AfvpUbltluu
similar to his Free Coinage
Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Davis
today introduced a proposed amendment
to the apportionment bill, the purpose
of which Is to increase the representa-
ton in the house to $50. The amend
ment also gives Arkansas seven instead
of six congressman; Minnesota eight;
Missouri IS, and New York 80.
The proposition introduced in the SEN
ate today by Senator Stewart relative to
the pending financial bill would, if
adopted, a K the place Of mis- free coin
age amendment down to a certain point.
1t is the same in substance as that
amendment, but has an attached provision
MS follows:
Provided further, that all silver bull
lion not the product of the mines, mills or
smelters of the United States, and all
silver coin and silver bullion, product of
silver coin other than silver coin of the
United States, shall in the discretion of
the secretary of the treasury, be subject
to a mint charge to be fixed from time
to time by him, but viii n charge shall
not evceed the difference between the
market value of said silver bullion in
London, England, at the time of its de-
posite and coinage value thereof; and the
secretary OF the treasury may make such
rules and regulations Ms may he neces-
sary to determine whether the silver
bullion 30 offered is or Is not the product
Of the mines and smelters of the United
states. e
This proposition was not formally
offered as an amendment today, hut was
submitted in order that it might be-
printed for information. 1t will he held
in reserve until some agreement is
reached respecting its final disposition.
The proposition was drawn after CONSUL

theory that it would receive support OF
