Last Season Had a Larger Attend
ance Than Ever.

WASHINGTON, Oct An interest
ing report on the Hot Springs reservation
in Arkansas has been submitted to the
secretary of the interior by the superin-
tendent, Martin Eisele. Mr.. Eisele says
the springs during the past season reach
ed the high water mark of popularity.
According to the best estimates there
We're $4,000 visitors during the season.
The income to the government from
water and ground rents amounted to
$1S,670, while the fixed charges were only
about $4,000, leaving. fair balance,
which, in accordance with the liberal pol
icy of the government, was available for
additional improvements in the reserva-
ton. The reservation includes Gil acres,
and in this tract, there are 157 govern
ment lots still unsold. The superinten-
dent says the sale Of these lots, which
have been appraised at $4,000, would be
far toward providing the money neces-
sary in perfecting the work of park i'm
provements now going forward and he
earnestly recommends an appraisement
OF the ground and the sale of the lots
during March, 1901, when the influx of
visitors to the springs is at its height
The sale of those lots, he says, also will
be of benefit to the municipality, as many
of them in the way of street improve
ment and their private ownership will
subject them to taxation for the benefit

property by the handsome residences,

The administration of the springs by
the government, Mr.. Eisele says has
been wise and benefcient. The amount
OF water distributed to each bath house
is scrupulously controlled and the pub
lie protected from monopoly and extor-
ton by the schedule Of charges provided
by the secretary of the interior. The
free government bath house has grown
to be a most important institution, and
of great benefit to the INDECENT sufferers,
who otherwise would not have the bene-
tit of the waters. The record of this es-
tablishment for the past year, shows
9,50S applications for free baths, of which
only 216 we're refused for various reasons.
The total number Of single free baths
given were 16903O, at a net cost of 157
cents per bath. One of the curious fea-
ures of the free bath patrons noted in
the report is that there are bath friends
who have a morbid craving for the treat
ment, much the same as the craving
for drugs and whisky among other ine-
briates. This class is a considerable an
noyance to the management.

FEARS FRAUDS IN NEW YORK.
Supt. McCullagh Warns Local Au-
thOrities to Look Sharp.

NEW YORK, Oct. John McCallagh,
state superintendent of elections for the
Metropolitan district, today sent out sew
eral letters to the authorities of this city
touching on the coming elections. In d
letter to Chief of Police Devery Mr..
McCullagh calls that officials attention
to the fact that he days of registration
will fall on Oct. u and 13, and October
19 and 20 and says:
'"The past experience of this depart
ment demonstrates very clearly that the
sources Of the debauchment of the fran
chise' in the city of New York are chief
ly found In the pool rooms, gambling;
houses, disorderly houses of prostitution,
saloons, which are run under the guise
of hotels in order to evade the provisions
@ fthe excise law, and dives Of even baser
sort"
Mr.. McCullagh then at some length de-
tails the successful prosecution OF illegal
voters and their sponsors after the cleo
tions in 1899 and calls attention to the
fact that the evidence in these cases
showed that they were engineered by per-
sons having official connection with the
city government, and that the illegal
voters were drawn from the sources
quoted in the abstract of the letters Civ
en- above. He then says that he has late
ly caused the investigation to be made
of such resorts in the city of New York
and has in his possession affidavits es-
tablishing violations of almost every
provision Of law and ordinance relating
to such places. a majority of which are
located on the east side, below Four
teenth street, and from which are re-
cruited the gangs of floaters and re
peaters who work in connection with the
habltues, employees and hangers-on of
similar resorts in the old and new ''ten-
derloin' and other parts of the city
From the evidence that has come into
his possession he is convinced that an or@
ganized attempt is being made to colonize
illegal voters for the next general cleo
ton in and from these places.
Mr.. McCullagh then submits the ad-
dresses Of over 200 saloons or other re-
sorts alleged to be of the character men
toned, and says that if prompt action
is not taken by Chief Devery in sup
pressing these reports he will invoke tie
aid of the state authorities, who are spe-
cially empowered by law to proceed in
these matters. He calls the attention
Of the chief to the law which directs the
police officials to cause an investigation
of each name registered and the penalty
for the neglect of such duty. His letter
closes with demand that the chief and
the members Of his command shall give
to the superintendent of elections all the
aid in his power in this direction.
= This common action to the chief is fol-
lowed by a letter to each police captain
in the territory named, which practically

BIG TREES OF CALIFORNIA.
They Are Reported in Danger of Ex-
termination.


WASHINGTON, Oct Capt. Frank
West, of the Sixth cavalry acting SUI
perintendent of the Sequoia and Gen.
Grant national parks in California, has
submitted his annual report to the Sec
retary Of the interior. The first of these
parks is the larger, containing, it is es-
timated, from 1,660 to 5000 of the NAM
moth sequoia trees for which California
is noted. Capt. West says for the bene-
fit of the public, as the best route for
reaching the giant forest is not general
ly known, that the proper point at which
to leave the railway is Visalia, Tulare
county.
This section, Capt West says, exceeds
in beauty and grandeur anything to be
found in Switzerland, and is a part of
the public domain untitled for agricul-
ture' but of importance as a game pre-
serve and to conserve the water supply
Of which the immediate citrus fruit in
terests of Tulare county depend
The Grant park is only two miles
square, and is in very bad condition. ow-
ing to fallen timber and rubbish, which
should be cleared away Immediately It
contains over 125 large sequias, including
the famous Gen. Grant tree, and little
work would make it a marvelously beau
tiful spot.
One serious danger which also threatens
the Sequoia park is the presence of saw
mills on private lands included within
the boundaries of the park. 1t is said
there are 5,440 acres held. The mills are
running the giant trees in their neigh
borhood, using them in the most Grim
inally wasteful manner, taking only the
clear lumber and leaving tops to rot on
the ground and be a menace to all the
remainder of the park. Capt. West rec
ommends that these lands be appraised
speedily and purchased by the govern
ment.
There has been little trespassing by
sheep and cattle in the park this season,
but poaching and the indiscriminate
slaughter of game as soon as the SOL
diers leave for the season threaten to
exterminate the larger animals Capt.
West recommends an aggregate appro-
priation OF $H, coo for carrying forward
the various lines of work next year
