PuBLIC LAND SALE.

Receipts Less Than Last Year But More
Than in Some Years.
ST. PAUL, April 4.-Sales of public
lands in Minnesota during the past year
show a marked decrease, as compared
with statistics Of the previous periods.
but the officials assert that a new boom
has just started. According to a notice
received by Governor Lind from the
treasury department at Washington.
the 5 per cent revenue from the net
proceeds Of the sale of public lands from
July l, 1898, to June 80, 1899, will
amount to 81, 90, for which a draft
is about to be sent. This figure repre-.
sents 5 per cent Of the money collected
for the sale of government lands in
Minnesota, after all expenses have been
deducted.
The revenue is larger than it was in
1898 and 1897, but smaller than that re.
ceived in 1899. The figures for the
present and for five years past are a.
follows:
Received in 1900. g, e64. 90; 1899. a..

met meeting a dispatch was read from
General Otis, covering the operations
of the army in the Philippines for a
considerable time. The subject Of a
reduction Of the revenues by congress
was discussed. 1t is understood the adj
ministration is in favor Of a revision of
the war revenue act, SO as to cut down
the receipts, but in view of the fact
that to make any move in that direction
probably would prolong the present
session of congress for many weeks, if
not months, it is thought by represen-
tative Republicans that nothing in this
line would be advisable at this session.
The resignation of Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Webster Davis was dis.
cussed, and it is understood the presi-
dent will accept the same through the
secretary of the interior.
