sugar refining company, Claus Spreckels

all west Of the river. l think Havemeyer
is right when he says that closing his re-

this: They cannot compete with foreign

THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Secretary HOIxe Smith Files His An
nuaI Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The annual
report Of Secretary Hoke Smith of the in
terror department deals largely with In
dian affairs. and he presents some practi-
cal suggestions for the development and
civilization of the race. Besides giving a
succinct history Of the progress Of the In
dian bureau during the past twelve months,
the secretary reviews the problem of eff
fective work for the advancement of the
Indians. He discusses the subject Of edu-
eatiorf and of sllotments of land in sever
atty and urges that the education of the
Indian should be for the purpose of fitting
them to perform the particular response
biiities most likely to fall to their after lot
He presents the possibilities of the reser-
walton as land to be improved and devel-
oped, to which the Indians should be
taught to apply those modes Of agriculture
recognized in civilized life
Their education should fit them for this
work and they should be led on with the
assurance that the government dealing
with this land will treat the Indians with
perfect honesty and make no further eff
fort to trade them out of it for the benefit
of those who wish to settle upon it. Let
Indians keep their lands. Upon the sub
ject of allotments, he says:
II do not question the advisability of
alloting land to Indians in severalty, but
L do most seriously question the pro-
priety Of this course before the Indians
have progressed sufficiently TO utilize the
land when taken. The allotments should
be made TO the Indians in severolty for
the good of the Indians, for the advance
ment of the Indians, not for the purpose
of obtaining land connected with the In
dian reservation to satisfy the Unsuitable
desire of border men, who obtain it fire.
quently, not for homes, but for specula-
ton.

solely upon the purpose Of realizing from
1t for its owners the highest possible value,

land or TO sell Il. If the members of a

will not the American farmer and all other
citizens become more permanently pros
porous?
"If the American farmer. laborer and
manufacturer are compelled by law to sub
NIT TO the measurement of the value of the
products of their efforts by silver stand
ard. will not the foreigner in buying those
products always use the same measure?
With his beef pork and cereals the Ameri-
can farmer buys money, and why should
he not demand as superlative quality in
that which he buys as the domestic and
foreign purchasers insist upon in that
which he sells? If those buyers demand
prime beef and prime pork, why
shouldn't the farmer demand prime cur
rency, the best measure of value, the most
fair and facile medium of exchange, in
the most undertaking money the world
Of commerce has ever evolved?"

SECRETARY LAMONTs REPORT.
He Recommends the Increase of the
Army to 10000.

The annual report of Secretary Lamont
shows a saving Of half million dollars in
salaries and contingent expenses in the
administration of the war department at
Washington, beside economies in the re-
cruiting service, rents, etc.
Expenditures for the last fiscal year
were $50, O39, OO9; appropriations for the cur
rent year are $52 429, 112; estimates for the
next year are $50, SIS, 629
On Oct 1 the army numbered: Officers
2,136; enlisted men, 25,772; of the latter,
for various causes only 20,114 are effective.
Secretary Lamont earnestly recon-
mends legislation to establish the battalion
formation, now accepted by the armies OF
every other civilized nation. To effect
that change he recommends a return TO
the law of 1870, fixing at 10000 the limit
of the army.
BY the changes proposed the army will
be increased 20 per cent. in efficiency, 1914
in numbers, and only per cent. in cost
of maintenance. The actual combltive
strength will thus become about twenty
five thousand, the number now cOntem-
plated by law but which is reduced by
detachments and otherwise to about TWEEN
ty thousand.
Seven regiments have been armed with
the new magazine rifle and by May 1 the
infantry will be completely equipped with
the new arm. The mandatory will con-
tinue to equip the militia. The manufact-
ure Of modern field and siege artillery
has been continued.
Secretary Lamont observed that no stat
ne to Gen Grant has been erected at
Washington, and recommends that such
a statue be erected between the capitol
and the congressional library, south of
Greenough's statue of Washington.

Pensions.
The report shows that the entire num-
Der Of pensioners upon the rolls June 80,
1894, was 500, 544 The estimate for the
fiscal year, 1896, is S14O.OO0,0 900. Pension
ers added to the roll during the year was
39,OS5; number dropped, 1881. The great
er part Of the cases now pending in the
bureau are old cases. Many Of them have
been pending for years and have been ex-
amined one or more times prior to the
present administration.
Upon examination it has been found. in
many instances, that proof was not suf-
ficient to sustain a pension. The atten-
ton Of the applicants having been called
TO the defect and in some cases efforts have
been made to supply the needed testimony.
The great discrepancy between the num-
Der Of cases now being allowed and the
number allowed two or more years ago,
grows out of the fact that the pending
cases constitute remnant of an immense
number Of claims Of which those well es-
tablished have already been adjudicated.
The secretary says the work accomplish
ed in eighteen and a half months is un-
precedented in the history of the depart
ment, being more than twice the number
Of cases disposed of in like period by
the prior administration.
Secretary Smith calls attention to the
saving of $4477O on the patent office ga
zette, the result Of contracts by COM
petitive bids.
The report shows that the total dis
bursements to date for the eleventh CEN
sus amount to $1O,S65,676 In the last
annual report it was stated that something
less than $685. 600 would be ample to fin
ish the census. 1t is now apparent that
$275, 900 will complete the work.
The report then deals with the different
territories and gives much interesting in
formation regarding their progress dur
ing the past year.
The secretary ends his report with an
earnest recommendation for an additional
building for the interior department.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

New YORK, March 2.-The conditions
of yesterday were reversed on the stock
exchange today, and of the bu0yancy of
last evening no trace was 10 be found
at the opening of business this morning.
Some reaction was natural by reason of
sales 10 realize profits, but the offerings
were too large 10 be aScribed to such a
source.
This selling movement was materially
assisted by the announcement that a
million and quarter of gold had been
engaged for shipment tomorrow, and to
degree by the passage Of the seignior-
age bill by the house of representatives
yesterday. for the bears affected to re-
gard the progress of this measure as
inimical to the stability of speculative
values. First prices made were very ir-
regular, but generally below last nights
figures, Sugar being the weakest stock
of the entire list, and in the early deal
lngS carried the other shares traded in
along with it in its downward course.
General Electric, Chicago Gas, Cordage
and New York Central also showed
marked depression. A slight rally &C.
Cured shortly after IL o'clock, which
was followed by a decline, led by Lead,
Sugar, General Electric and the grang-
ers, bringing the figures down to lower
levels than before. As the market
moved into the afternoon some of the
shorts began to cover, and the decline
brought in some buyers for the long &C
count, which had the effect of causing
temporary advance, in which
Lake Erie & Western preferred,
New York Central. Sugar and
Lead preferred participated most
largely, the grangers showing
but slight Improvement. But at 1870
O'Clock the upward movement received
Il check, and from that time to the close
prices moved downward, the lowest
figures of the day being touched in the
final dealings. Compared with yester-
days last sales, the closing prices show
a decline ranging from 4@l% per
cent. Sugar led both in the transactions
and the downward turn, and was sold
freely by the houses which bad been
recently the largest buyers, aid this,
despite apparently well-authentcated
reports that the senate was disposed to
accord fair measure OF protection to
the sugar refners, caused preferred
shares to drop per cent. The weakest
of the railway list were the grangers,
the decline in which is from "a in North
west to IA in Rock Island. st. Paul
was sold by London, declining l5s,
and closing within q of the
worst price. The decline in
