only dilatory replies Letters of remon-
STRANGE against their removal were re-
ceived at the interior department from

Pensacola who state that fully 30 per cent.
of the matter embraced in the archives
relates to lands and titles In Pensacola
county, and but small fraction has refer
ence to lands within a reasonable distance

examination of the law on the subject
concurs in the commissioner recommen-
dation that these archives are held with
out legal authority and should be in the
hands of the federal authorities of the
state, and directs that steps looking to
that end be taken.
