THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
More Than s,OOO,OOO Acres Sold Dur
ing the Year.

The public lands disposed of by the gov
ernment during the year reached S,453,
s9692 acres, an increase of 6l4.7S0.26 acres
over the previous year. The total receipts
from public lands. during the fiscal year
amounted TO $2,2T, ,995.lS, an increase OF
$50 063.9O over the preceding year The
lands embraced in the IL forest reserva-
tions which were suspended by the act of
June 4, 1897, again became subject to the
operations of the proclamations of Feb
ruary % 1897, creating them, which added
an estimated amount of l9S5l,3O acres TO
the area embraced in the reserve previous
ly created. In addition thereto two new
reserves were created during the year
the Pine Mountain and Zaca Lake reserve
in California, embracing l,64 ,54 acres, and
the Prescott reserve in Arizona, embracing
10 240 acres: while the PecoS River reserve
in New Mexico has been changed and en-
larged to include 0O00 additional acres.
Al the close OF the year 30 forest rcSerNa-
tions, not including those of the Afognac
forest and the fish culture reserve in
Alaska, had been created by executive
proclamations under section "A Of the act
of March g. 1891, embracing an estimated
area of 407i9,44 acres.
The department of the interior has in
augurated a forest system, made possible
by the act Of July, 1898, for a graded force
of officers in control of the reserves. This
system has only been in full operation
since August, but good results have al
ready been secured in many sections. The
reports received indicate that the system
OF patrol has not only prevented destruc-
tive fires from gaining Roadway, but has
diminished the number of fires.

A Resume of the Work of the AgricuI-
turaI Department..

The department of agriculture has been
active in the past year Explorers have
been sent to many of the countries of the
eastern and western hemispheres for seeds
and plants that may be useful 10 the United
States and with the further view of open
ing up markets for our surplus products.
The forestry division of the department is
giving special attention TO the treeless re-
gions of our country and is introducing
species specially adapted TO semi-arid re-
gions. Forest fires which seriously inter-
tere with production, especially in irrigated
regions, are being studied that the losses
from this cause may be avoided. The de-
bartment is inquiring into the use ana
abuse of water ian many states OF the west
and collating information regarding the
laws of the states, the decisions of the
courts and the customs of the people in this
regard, so that uniformity may be secured.
Experiment stations are becoming more eff
fectiye every year. The annual appropria-
tion of $27O, 900 by congress is supplemented
by 100000 from the states. Nationwide
experiments have been conducted to ascer-
tain the suitableness as to soil and climate
and states for growing sugar beets The
number of sugar factories has been doubled
in the past two years and the ability OF the
United States to produce its own sugar
from this source has been clearly demon
strated.
The weather bureau forecast and OBJ
servation stations have been extended
.around the Caribbean sea to give early
(srning of the approach OF hurricanes

Washington, Dec. 2.-The monthly
statement of the public debt shows
that at the close of business in Novem-
ber the debt, less cash IN the treasury
amounts to $1,127, ,473, ,4s7, an increase
over the lost month of Sic, 500, sos. This
increase is accounted for by a decrease
of nearly Ss,0Oo,OOO in the cash on hand,
and an issue of about the same amount
of bonds which had been paid for in
preceding months.

THE INDIANS.
The Condition OF the Race shows

Marked Progress.
The special attention Of the congress is
called to that part of the report of the sec
retary of the interior in relation to the five
civilized tribes. 1t is noteworthy that the
general condition Of the Indians shows
marked progress. But one outbreak OF .
serious character occurred during the year
and that among the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota, which happily has been sup
pressed. While il has not yet been prac-
ticable TO enforce all the provisions Of the
act of June, 1898, for the protection of the
people Of the Indian territory and for other
purposes" 1t is having salutary effect
upon the nations composing the five tribes.
The Dawes commission reports that the
most gratifying results and greater ad-
vance toward the attainment of the objects
of the governments have been secured in
the past year than in any previous year.

In the opinion of the court, this effect
