AmAsA DAILrs CLAIMS.
SECRETARY SMITH WILL HEAR
THEM DEC. 13.
THERE WILL BE NO DELAY IN REM
DERING A DECISION.

A Washington dispatch dated the 4th
inst says:
1.-The secretary Of the interior has been
notified by the attorneys for the Mchl-
gan Land Il Iron Co. that they will be
present at the hearing before the secre-
tary on December 13. and will make no
request for further delay. Mai. j. K.
Reddington, the local attorney OF the
company, will appear to contest Amasa
Daily's claims and may be assisted by
Attorney Stephenson, who is the home
counsel of the company. Secretary
Smith will hear the case In person, aud
has already reviewed carefully the
briefs filed in support OF the request for
another hearing. The opinion adverse
to Daily's claim, which Secretary Smith
signed, was not written by the secretary,
and Daily's attorneys are confident that
1t will be set aside when the case has
been argued at length. Secretary Smith
Is the authority for the statement that

cision 10 the Daily case and that the
newspaper reports to the effect that ne
will Withhold his decision until the issues
now on trial ina similar case pending In
the western district Of Michigan are de-
termined, are erroneous.
The statement upen which these re-
ports were based were simply to the ef-
feet that the secretary recognizing the
fact that the same question would be
determined by the courts was especially
anxious to give the matter careful at

therefore decided to hear the case in

Michigan Registration Report.

A copy OF the last Vital Statistics Re-
port Of Michigan issued by the Depart
ment Of State has been received at this
Office from Secretary Gardner, and ap-
pears to be Of unusual interest. In ad-
dition to the usual statistical study OF
the births. marriages and deaths return
ed for the state and counties during the
year 1892, tho report presents valuable
data concerning the methods and re-
suits of registration under the state
system and under local ordinances In
the cities Of Michigan, and recommends
that such results of local registration.
system, as they are in many cases, be
utilized In the state registration reports.
The total nSmber of births returned
In Michigan for 1898 was 4G.22l; of mar
risges, 20,107; and OF deaths, 21.729.
These returns, except for marriages, are
much below the true numbers owing to
imperfectons in the present method Of
enumeration by supervisors after the
close OF the registration year, and wonld
require to be increased by at least sixty
per cent. the secretary estimates, to give
the true figures. Even then the death
rate Of the state, 1879 per 1000 popula-
tion, would be much less than the death
rates of any states in this country where
accurate registration prevails.
The article on causes Of death in
Michigan in 1892 will be of great inter-
est to physicians and sanitarlans, and is
well illustrated by diagrams aud by two
colored maps showing the distribu Non
of the recorded mortality from con-
sumption and from diphtheria and Group
in the different counties of the state
during the fve-year period, lsss-92. The
rates are based upon the population Of
| each county, and hence show the rela-
| tive distribution correctly in counties
OF small size as well as those with dense
| populations. Such maps comply in the
| plaiBest and most readily understood
manner with the primary object OF the
IcSlstTdtiOu Jaw, VIZ, W suOW tHe COIL
pa ative healthfulness of different parts
| Of the state.
Attention is called to the great tardl-
ness of the present system of registra-
tion. which has not been improved since
1869, and under which the returns do
not reach the compiling Office until
| nearly a year after the close OF the year OF
registration. This delay causes other de-
| ticiencies, which are fully discussed In the
report, and which, IL is strongly urged,
should be removed by the passage OF q
| registration act more In accordance with
moderp requirements. The report as q
whole will be found very interesting z
aud valuable for reference. and may be
| obtained by supervisors and others on
titled to it from the county clerk, and
also directly from the office OF the sec
retary Of state at Lansing.

They attack this new law on the ground
that some of the districts are not ms con-

Importan; Committee Report.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-The report
of the subcommittee Of the house
committee on Judiciary which has
been investigating the rulings of
Judge jenkins in relation to the
Northern Pacific railroad eases was
made in full to the committee today.
The committee find that the object OF
both writs of injunction was to pre-
vent the employees from striking. an
order which practically compelled
the employees to accept lower
rate of wages. This is, in the
--.rr-svs----:.---ross
abuse of judicial authority with
out warrant of law and is void.
The committee finds no sufficient
evidence to sustain any charges
against the Judge, but recommended
that Il prohibitOry statute be enacted
which will prevent recurrence OF
such orders, and also recommends
the enactment of statute defining
and limiting the powers OF United
States Judges in proceedings for con-
tempt. No action was taken on the
report by the committee. The re-
publican member of the sub-com-
mittec will probably make minority
report.
