THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.

The report of the secretary of the in.
terror, for the year ended June &c. 1897,
has just issued from that department of
the government, and contains much that
is of interest.
With the growth of the country, the
business of the interior department
naturally increases, and each succeeding
year sees the figures used to express the
transactions of that department grow in
magnitude. Secretary Bliss report deals
with matters of quite as much import as
those of his predecessors, while the items
of expenditure are equally as large. The
estimated apple priation to meet the
needs of the department for the year
ending June 30, 1899, is $156,332,419.
The greatest item of expenditure is the
pension roll, which is estimated at S14O,-
100000 for the year ending Juue 80, 1899
In regard to pensions the secretary says:
"There are about 100000 pension claims
awaiting adjustment, and it is estimated
that 40 or so per cent thereof will be
finally admitted. When, however, these
claims are once adjudica ted and first pay
ments made thereon, the amount of the
pension roll will decrease very rapidly,
possibly to 1925 100000 or $l30,OOO,OOO
the first year"
Lo! the poor Indian, comes in for his
part of the report, and there are quite
number of them, despite the rumors to the
contrary. For the purposes of the In
terror department there are on the rolls,
outside of the FIVE civilized tribes in the
territory, and the New York Indians, 49,
178 Indians who are looked after by the
government on 1T different reservations.
They hold 33,4o4,S 1897 acres of land, out of
which they have taken 10 the shape of
allotments 644, ,147 acres.
Of the situation in the Indian territory
tsA secretary does not take very hope
ful'view. The Ohootaw and Chickasaw
nations have made aud ratified treaties
with the Dawes commission, but the
Greek nation refuses to have anything to
do with the representatives of the gov
ernment, and negotiations have been
abandoned nth the Cherokees. The
wisdom of phocoediug under any of the
agreementR until uniform understand
ing is reached, is doubted. Secretary
Bliss sets forsh the oft-rspeated and we'll
known facts in regard to the condition
