steamers. and S73 of 379,O42 tons were
sailing vessels. These figures exceed the
average of the preceding three years as
regards steamers by A vessels of 52 OGO
tons. This excess is Not due. however,
10 actual casualties, but to the unusual
number of steamers which have been
broken up ur condemned sIing 1894

Decision of Secretary Smith Disas.
trous TO Many Farmers.
Chicago, Sept 24.-News reached this
city late last n.yht of decision just handed
down by Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith, by which the State of Illinois will
probably come into possession of more ttaD
10000 acres in Lake County.
The value of this land, at a moderate
estimate, is between three and four millions.
OF dollars. Should the courts uphold the
claims of the State. in accordance with the
views of Secretary Smith, hundreds of
prosperous farmers in Lake County will be
ruined
Secretary Smith holds that a certain
United States survey of 1889 was invalid
and irregular. He declares that the fact
that much of the land in question has been
patented to private individuals does not
annul the States right to proceed against
Observation-Disclosures in thecourts for Possession.
Under this ruling the legal officers of the
State government will proceed against the
present holders of the land in the Illinois
court unless some compromise shall be
effected.
The land involved, which was originally
covered with water, now comprises fine
summer resort properties along the Fox
River and contributory lakes, as well as
many handsomely improved farms.
