SECRETARY MOBILES REPoRr.
Work of the Great Department OF the
Interior Fully Reviewed.


WASHINGTON. Dec. a,-The annual
report of the Secretary OF the Interior
was made public to-day. The report
exhibits clearly the condition Of
affairs in this great department.
The work accomplished during the
last fiscal year has been of immense
volume and of signal Importance. The
general land office is nearly abre, st of
its work; the Indian bureau is accom-
plishing the rapid disintcgration of the
Indian reservations, the severance
If tribal relations and the education of
the Indian youth; the pension Office is
rapidly completing the allowance of
all pensions legally possible under the
laws, moving ut the rate of about
thirty thousand II month; the
census has been taken and its
publications rapidly gong on; the
geological surveyor is keeping mp its
admirable work and is selecting ,he re-
servoirs for the arid lands of the far
west and southwest; the railroad bu.
reau is making ready for the maturity
of the debts due from the subsidized
railroads, the Union Pacific and others.
the bureau of education, besides having
distributed the vast fund allowed
the Agricultural colleges for white and
oolored pupils in the differ
ent States is engaged in new plans for
the accumulation and distribution of
information useful for the schools and
their better management; and the
patent office having celebrated ita
centennial, is still advancing in the
volume and variety of its interesting
and great Investigations and patents.
Besides all these the management OF

son, the boarder, caught Hockridge as
he was falling and carried him down
stairs. He only lived few minutes.
Thomas, as soon as they went down
stairs, shot himself through the head,
falling over dead on the bed. There is
no doubt the murderer was insane and
took his victim for burglar. 1t is
thought that insanity waso brought
about by brooding over his wife, who
obtained a divorce from him about
year ago
State Dairy Commissioner Upper
has filed his annual report with the
governor, and it contains muchvaluable
information concerning this great in
dustry of the state. Regarding the
sale of imitation butter or oleomar-
garine, the commissioner criticizes the
national law, which prevents him get
ting the names of persons taking out
permits to sell the spurious stuff,
but from other sources enough infor-
nation was obtained to cause the
arrest and punishment of several per-
sons in Sioux City, Burlington, Daven-
port and Council Bluffs for violation of
the law. The fact was also proved
thai but little oleomargarine is being
sold in the state. There is much bad
butter on the market, however, result
ing from ignorance of those attempting
to make it. The commissioner suggests
that the people ought to be gathered
together in communities and taught, as
thsy have been in New York, the in
crease in the price of the product more
than paying for the instruction. He
also suggests that tests should be made
as often as once week of milk sold in
cities. Cheese statistics are very
meager. None is shipped out of the
state, and much comes in. Cheese
making is not much of an Iowa industry.
In the shipments of butter there is a
falling off from last year owing to
the drouth of a year ago and high price
of grain during the winter The sta
tistics of butter shipment are furnished
by the railways and are as nearly reli-
able us possible. A table given shows that
there are 7O5 creameries in the state,
and that sl,774,661 pounds of butter
were exported. which, less l6 per cent
tare, equals 6s,G9O,715 pounds. The
best authorities estimate the home con-
sumption of butter to be fifty pounds
per capita, or 1Oo,0oo,oO pounds; to
this add 6S, 500, IT'S and we have as the
total make of the state 16s, G90,715
pounds. Estimating 16s, 600, us pounds
of butter at 20 cents per pound gives
1913, 73s, 143 as the value of the butter
industry of Iowa.

IT is A HARD FIGHT.
A BITTER CONTEST FOR THE
SPEAKERSHlP.
Relative Strength of the Leading Can
didates-what Mills Claims-The
Situation just Now.

WASHINGTON, Dec -Speakership
partisans are alignlng themselves under
outside influences, The National
Democratic committee is taking hand,
Mr.. Clevelands closest friends are
taking hand, Gov. Hill is taking .
hand.
The broad line between them is that
the Cleveland forces are arrayed for
Mills, the anti Cleveland forces for
Crisp.
EX-Congressman French, the Con-
necticut member of the Democratic
National committee, is coming to get
the three Democratic representatives
from that State in line for Mills. In
the Northwest Committeeman Doran of
Minnesota is charged with bringing in
pocketful of votes for the Texas can
didate. Both Southerners are bidding
openly for Northern support. Mills in
the beginning made it known that his
election would mean putting Northern
members in control of a majority of the
committees He gave AS much of n
pledge to this effect as could be asked
authorized the statement that If chosen
Speaker he will put cast-iron majority
of Northern members ON the Ways and
Means committee.
The McMillin folks are not disposed
to get enthusiastic over the Crisp folks,
because they feel the New Workers have
been playing fast and loose with the
gentleman from Tennessee.
Congressman Hatch, with batch of
Missouri Democrats including Col. Crit
Prather, Col Joseph Hickey, Alexander
Dockery, S. w. Cobb, w. Il. Lewis, Gen.
Mansur, John c. Tarsncy, Insurance
Commissioner Ellerbee, A. c. Church
Cornelius Voorhees,, and Ed Story, ar.
rived in the city at noon to-day
1--WE are for Bill Hatch" said one of
the party, first, last, and all the--well,
we are for him as long as there is u
chance to elect him. We do not intend
to do the last ditch act, but we are for
Hatch"
The happiest lot in the city are to be
found in and around Mr.. Springer
headquarters. While the other candi-
dates, notably Crisp and Mills, are
nervous and fretful over the situation,
Mr.. Springer and his friends treat the
occasion in the light of a very pleasing
diversion. Nothing annoys the party
and, in fact, there is next to nothing in
the situation to give them any uneasi-
ness.
The Pennsylvania delegation will
confer to-day. Mills has been conceded
majority of the Keystone delegates,
who are ten in number.
He is poor boomer at any of the
headquarters who by this time cannot
figure out the result in favor of his
candidate. Here is a summary made
up from personal Investigations and
without regard to the claims of the
candidates:
Number of Democrats who will go
into caucus, 234.
Necessary to a choice, 11S.
For Crisp. .....,......72 For McMillin. 80. 20
For Mills. ...........6 s For Hatch .........1i
For Springer. Doubtful. ... -. 81
Of the doubtful members Mills and
Crisp are likely to share equally, so
that their strength will be relatively
the same. To win Mr.. Mills must
secure two-thirds of the support of
Springer, Hatch and McMillin. He
will do better than this with Hatch's
vote and probably with the Western
followers of Springer.
