INCREASING INDIANS.
A Showing in Secretary Smiths
 Report.
A New Forestry System Recom- mended-A Better Plan in Dis
 tributlna Governme ent Land.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The secretary of the interior in his annual report re- views the work of all branches of the department during the past year. He comments on the utter inadequacy of legislation thus far enacted to provide for legitimate procurement of public timber to supply the actual necessities of the people dependent upon it. To promote the settlement and develop the natural resources of the pu blic lands legislation providing for a con- prehensive forestry system is recom- mended.
 The secretary discusses at length the opening of the Cherokee strip. He re- commends a substitute for the present system of settlement by the adoption by congress of some plan which by auction lottery or otherwise, may de- termine in advance the ownership Of each particular section.
 The work of the Indian bureau shows steady advance in civilization. It is mistake to suppose the number of Indians is rapidly decreasing, on the contrary tribal wars and wars with the whites having ceased, they are increas- ing and now mum Der over 250.000. Re- cent troubles in the Cherokee nation are touched upon at length. The sec retary urges the prompt passage of a bill now pending before congress ex- tending the jurisdiction of the United States in Indian cases so as to include the right of removal of all cases where local prejudice is shown, without re- gard to citizenship.

SPLITTING ON HIS PAL.

George Sontag Appears in Court
 Against Evans.
 FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 1.-The feature of the Evans trial today was the ap- pearance of George Sontag as a witness against Chris Evans. When Sontag entered the court room, Evans turned pale and looked uneasy, but soon re- gained his composure. Sontag was also ill at ease and avoided Evans' gaze. Sontag's testimony was in line with his recent confession. He said the testi- mony given by him at his own tr1al was untrue Evans attorney asked numer- ous questions and the indications are that the defense will argue that George and John Sontag. committed the train robbery and that Sontag now attempts to substitute Evans for John.

LA GRIPPE AT WASHINGTON.
May it be Confined to the Throats of Loquacious Congressmen.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Physicians re- port grip quite prevalent. The usual symptoms of debility and nervous affec- tion are manifest, but the ailment seems to fix on the throat with particular virulence. It deprives many patients of their voices and in some cases has caused spasmodic contraction of the throat with svmtoms of strangulation very alarming. The great prevalence of throat trouble leads to the supposition that this is peculiar form of grip, run ming in a sort of epidemec.

a terrific fire could be kept up upon the
city of Rio de Janeiro.
Foreigners, and especially North Amer
leans, have invested heavily in residence
property near the Brazilian metropolis,
but owing to the fear of yellow fever,
which invests the valley. their purchases
have been made in the mountains, so their
homes are not in danger. Tijuca, where
many Of them live and where Whites
large European hotel is located, is fifteen
miles from the city, and spur of the
mountains of that name has to be crossed
TO reach the settlement. Others have
homes at PetropOlis, a village twenty
miles distant. located up in the Orange
Mountains. This was Dom Pedro's favor
ite resort. and his winter palace still
stands there. BOtofdgo is the foreign set
tlement nearest the city, but that being six
miles away is beyond the range OF all but
the largest rified guns. So there is little
danger TO the lives or residence property
of foreigners.

the mismanagement of the small force we

SAN BERNARDINo. Sept. IA. - James
Farris. Deputy United States Marshal, to-
day took seventeen Chinese prisoners to
Los Angeles. Ten Of them were arrested
in Riverside and seven in this city. Under
pressure of the strong arm of the law the
Chinese are leaving this section as rapidly
as possible. One hundred and fifteen
Chinese residents Of this county regis.
tered under the law. The majority of
these will remain here. Some two or three
hundred did not register.
At the present rate of departure within
a week the latter will not be found here.
The effective operation of the Geary law
has had the effect of dispelling whatever
riotOus demonstrations that bid fair few
weeks ago to end in bloodshood. The re-
mOval of so many Chinese from the city
and surrounding country has had a healthy
effect on the labor market. and there are
few unemployed white men hereabouts.

NEW YORK. Sept. Ii. The political
troubles in Brazil continue seriously, to
interfere with the transactions of mer-
chants whose business is with that coun-
try. The coffee interest suffers most. A
large amount of business is done by cable,
but at present that has come to an abso-
lutte standstill. At the office of the Com
mercial Cable Company it was said to-
day that no cables for Brazil would be ac-
cepted with any promise as to the time OF
being delivered. An attempt was made
yesterday to get three important mes
sages through TO persons living in Brazil
by addressing them in care of the Brazil
ian Minister of Marine, but late last night
it was learned that two of them had been
refused.

ALL WANT PROTECTION.
Tariff-Reformers Travelling Over a
Very Rocky Road.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The Ways and
Means Committee heard representatives OF
the cement. cutlery, sheet-iron and caustic
tile, glass and steel manufacturers on the
subject of Iariff duties on these articles.
The first speaker was Nj. A Sull of New
YORK. who appeared in behalf of cement.
He declared that since the passage of the
Mckinley act the price of cement ma
terially had been reduced to the con-
sumer and $4,000. 900 had been saved to the
country, three-fOurths of which went to
benefit the consumer, the other fourth
going to the Government.
The interest of American cutlery was
next attended to. William F. Rockwell
said that since the passage OF the Nc
kinley law domestic manufacturers had
more than doubled their capacity and the
price to the consumer had decreased.
Battelle spoke in the interest of iron and
steel sheet manufacturers. He declared
that a tariff on strictly revenue basis
would destroy the industry.
Ex- Repre- tative Niedringhaus fol-
lowed in the interest of the tin-plate in
dustry. He Insisted that if the duty was
reduced to what it was before the passage
of the bill of 1890 it would reduce labor
one-thtrd. If free-trade measure were
enacted labor would be reduced one-half
w. c. CrOnemeyer, president of the Amer
ican Tip-plaje Association, said that the
importer of tin plate does not desire tin
plate placed on the free list. but would be
better satisfied with reduction.
After recess A. r. Leeds OF Elwood,
Ind, declared that il the tariff was reduced
on tin his factory would either have to
close or the wages of his men would be
materially reduced.
Mr.. Walker of PittsDurg asked for the
retention of the duties on tile and was
followed by George w. Blair of the same
city, who asked the committee OF to inter-
fere with the duties so as to effect flint and
glass. The remainder of the day was de-
voted to hearing representatives of the

Gresham received the following from Min
