Tho Retiring Land Commissioner Makes
His Final Report.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Commissioner
Carriers valedictory report of the opera
tons of the land Office for the past fiscal
year has been made public. The COM
missioner says that under the repeal of
the timber culture law, approved last
year large numbers of cases, long sus-
pended on the mere suspicion Of fraud
or under TECHNICAL rulings, have been
passed to patent and more than 300, 600
additional entries have been considered
and proper action taken. The total
amount of agricultural patents issued
from 1883 to 1891 is 1913, 1913, covering
63, 700, 900 acres, substantially clearing
the docket and leaving the Office free to
attend to current business. The number
of mineral patents issued from 1888 to
1892 was S,764, clearing the mineral and
coal dockets. The acreage of public
lands disposed of during the fiscal year
was 1911 900 acres. The miscellaneous
tracts aggregated 100000 acres and
Indian lands $4,000 more than a year
ago and total in round figures of 49,
1884, 900. There were patented for the
benefit of railway companies under
congressional grants during the past
fiscal year 2,01s,0 acres, as against an
area patented entries during the pre-
vious fiscal year of 3,0SS,0 acres. Dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80, 1891,
an area of 40S, 900 acres was patented to
cavaral afates 11ndar the cprvov lapd
grant, but during the period covered by
the report only 10000 acres were pat.
ented, making decrease of 232, 900.
The evils which attached to the system
of surveys in former years, by which
the government suffered greatly from
fraud in deception practiced by filers
has been mainly eliminated from the
sssrvice. The commissioner says the Of

ST. PAUL, Aug. 9.-There are plentl-

neighborhood of st. Paul and Mime

terfeiters which it has ever fallen to the
lot of the United States government Of

Several Hundred Non-Union Men Desert

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. Sit would
be hard to find more jubilant or more
hopeful set of men than are the Home
stead strikers at present. Not since the
beginning of the present conflict have
they been so confident of success. Last
week many of them were going around
attired in their Sunday clothes and de.
spondent looks. They were beginning
to feel that the battle was about as good
as lost and the leaders experienced no
little difficulty in keeping the discour-
aged ones in line. But it is different
now. This sudden change in the situa-
ton was brought about by SO many of
the company's non-unionists deserving
their posts. From the time the main
entrance to Fort Prick was opened in
the morning until it closed in the even.
ing men continued to leave the mills.
Those who came out through the main
gate were received with open arms by
the strikers who conducted them to
their headquarters two squares distant.
Here were assembled all through the
day several hundred idle steel workers
and the arrival of each non-union man
was the signal for cheers of the most en-
thusiastic kind. The deserters from the
little mill Of imprisoned workmen were
provided with transportation to their
homes, the majority of them being sent
to Baltimore and Philadelphia. By 8
o'clock p. m. all who left the works dur
ing the day had been started on their
homeward journey. Chairman Craw-
ford, of the advisory committee, says
that over $50 men had come from the
mill to the Amalgamated headquarters
during the day and that over 400 have
left the company's employ since Satur-
day,

Harrison at Loon Lake.

LOON LAKE, N. Y, Aug. 7.-President
Harrison is again with his wife at his
quiet summer residence. There is no
getting around the fact that Mrs. Har-
rison is still very sick woman. That
she has improved to wonderful degree
is also certain, but the newspaper re-
ports published saying that she was en-
tirely recovered are without sense and
foundation. Your correspondent en-
deavored to see the president during the
morning but the latter was taking q
drive with Mrs. Harrison and Mrs.
Parker. They were gone about an hour.

ROCHESTER, Aug 6.-Judge Ramsay
has handed down a decision in the case
of the Monroe county board of SUPER

The Progress of he German Pariy-ThS
Question of the judicial Oath.

The Progress of he German Party Tho
Question OF the judicial oath.
BERLIN, Nov l5.-The Social Congress
resumed it's session in Concordia hall
to-day. Herr Singer, who was yester-
day unanimously elected president OF
the party, made speech, in the course
of which he referred to the rapid pro-
gress OF the party. Herr Fischer, tho
secretary, in his report stated that the
work done since the last meeting had
enlarged tho active propaganda OF the
party. Herr Fischer's report covered
the entire history OF the organization.
The secession OF the socalled indie
pendents from the main body OF the
party, although severely criticised rs
disloyal, i'll disguised under the mask
of illusory theoretical differences, was
briefly dismissed as on the whole salts
factory radiance rather than regretta'
bic loss.
The report proceeded to deal with
the attitude OF the social Democratic
party towards the judicial oath, a ques-
ton which has given rise to avery great
controversy. As is well known, the
party programme does not recognize
the religious validity OF the oath, and
this has been used against the social
Democrats to charge them with using
perjury. The party has never scrupled
TO acknowledge that it is opposed to a
religious sanction, but to speak the
truth before Il tribunal is the duty OF a
man and citizen, and though the re-
fusal OF citizen to take the oath is
justifiable, lying is not and cannot be
justified.
The report closed with grim and
suggestive list OF the judicial sentences
passed during the last II months upon
the members OF the party. The terms
Of imprisonment enumerated amount to
more than III years, and the fines to q
total of 20,500 marks. Last year these
totals were 60 years and 1880 marks
respectively.

GETTING ENGAGED IN Ho1nAND.
The Curious Way = Young Dutchmau
Manages His Love, Affairs.

The Curious Way = Young Dutehmau
Manages His Love Affairs.
In many of the provinces OF Holland
there is a marriage custom in vogue
which lie as curious as any to be found
in years search through South Africa.
When Dutch swain falls SO deeply
in love that he feels it imperative to
breathe the story of his affections into
the ears OF his loved one he starts out
for her home bearing in one hand a
sweet seed cake wrapped in paper. Ar
rived at the family residence, he enters
the living room and, without address.
ing the girl he places the cake upon a
table near her. II she opens the paper
and begins to eat, it is sign that the
love.suit is acceptable to ALL But ii the
cake is left upon the table untouched,
then the lover must look somewhere
else for sweetheart. Sometimes the
girl leases her lover by dallying with
the cake before eating. In case she re-
fuses him, the whole affair is kept en-
tirely secret and no one outside the
family is ever the wiser.
