work IS being pushed. The mistake which

estimates of the cost OF pensions is in not
taking account Of the diminished value OF
first payments under the recent legisla-

general laws, have been for
many years very large as tue pensions,

The Interior Department.

The report of the secretary OF the in
terror shows that a very gratifying pro-
gress has been made in all Of the bureaus
which make up that complex difficult de-
partment. The work IN the bureau OF
Indian affairs was perhaps never so
large as now by reason of the
numerous negotiations which have
been proceeding with tue tribes

the incident labor OF making allotments,
and was never more carefully conducted.
