Washington, Nov. g. The secretary
of the interior has decided to postpone
the consideration of the plan TO consoli-
date the oklahoma City and Guthrie
land districts in Oklahoma until Il thor
Ough investigation can be made into
the condition of all the eight land dis
tricts of the territory created ueder
former acts of congress. 1t has become
apparent that there are more land dis
tricts in the territory than the land
Office business justies and Secretary
Hitchcock deems it wise and prudent
10 take the entire business up and con-
slider it at one time rather than by
piece meal.
Commissioner Hermenn, Of the generl
land Office has been called upon for a
report shown the condition of each Of
the eight land Offices in the territory
and recommendation for the ocolish-
ment of such land districts which are
found to be most centrally located and
convenient to those homesteaders who
have not perfected titles to their prop
erty
Last week Commissioner Hermann,
in responce to II request from the sec
retary, submitted n recommendation
for the abolishment of the Oklohoma
land district and its consolidation with
Guthrie. Mangum and FL Reno dis
tricts This is satisfactory so far as it
goes, but it does not go far enough.
As redistricting of all the offices is
rendered imperative within the near
future, Secretary Hitchcock can see no
advantage gained in taking up this case
now and others later ON. Such course
would only lead to confusion and prove
annoying and veXatious to the officials
of the department.
As soon as the information called for
from the commissioner, which cannot
be furnished for several weeks, is re-
ceived, the secretary will take up the
entire subject and handle Il in II com
plete and comprehensive manner. II
seems probable that the three Office
abolished will be those at Oklahoma
City, Kingisher and Alva.

Public School Text Books An Ex'
planation

Regarding the text books in use in
our public schools, | feel that an eXpla-
nation is due from me to the people of
this city, who have been patronizing
Methvin's Institute. When it was de-
cided, in response to numerous applica-
tions to admit pupils from the city into
our school To save them from extra
expense when the public schools
should open, used all diligence 60 as
certain the course of study of the pub
lie schools and the text books that
would be used. | called upon Mr.. Tur-
ner, the county superintendent Of pub
lie schools, and from him secured the
desired information. To avoid 1.-THE loss
incident to a diversity of text books, II
find that the oklahoma legislature
passed law Nov. 18th 1897, directing
the Territorial Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction to make II five years con-
tract with publishers for uniform text
books for the Oklahoma public schools.
This contract was made and does not
expire till some time next year. The
list of books included in that contract
are ON file in the Office of the county
superintendent. These | instructed the
pupils to buy, feeling sure that they
would be secure from the expense of
other text books when the public schools
opened II there has been change and
consequence extra expense | am not re-
sponsible for il feel that this expla-
nrtion is due since some are disposed
TO censure me.
j. j. MELVIN.
p. S. would suggest that If the pub
fishers have agreed to furnish other
books than those named Ia the contract
list, they ought to take up, without
loss to pupils, those that have been
bought of the contract list not now used.

How TO Cook Sweet Potatoes.
Department of Agriculture
Publishes a Pamphlet on
the Subject.

The art Of cooking a sweet potato is a
subject treated in a brochure prepared by
ID. M. Nesbit, and just issued by the Dep.
artment of Agriculture. He declares that
the delicate flavor of sweet potato is lost
if it not cooked properly. Steaming dev
elops and preserves the flavor better than
boiling, and baking is better than steaming.
A saceet potato cooked quickly is not well
cooked. Time is an essential element.
Twenty minutes may serve to bake a sweet
potato so that hungry man can eat it, but
If flavor is an object it should be kept in the
oven an hour. The negroes of the South
have way of baking sweet potatoes in ashes
covered with Goals. The potatoes are often
put into the ashes after one meal and left
there wlile the negroes are working in the
field, SO as to beready for the next meal.
Hence their fine flavor.
The Government cook books, like the
manuals of farmhouse architecture, are found
very valuable.

Effect Of English
Export Duty on Coal
Will not Help American Coal
in European Markets.
United States Exports Coal Mostly
in South America.

American firms engaged in the foreign
export coal trade say that they did not er-
pect the duty of shilling ton, levied on
coal exported from England, will help the
sale of American coal in Europe, with
English coal selling around present prices.
The point is also made that the United
States has obtaiued no permanent foothold
in European markets, as was thought pro-
bable last September, at the time of the
strike Of tie West coal-miners, when impor-
tant contracts for the Mediterranean were
obtained in this country. No new contracts
have been made for American coal since the
price of Cardiff coal was reduced, after the
settlement of The strike.
At present Cardiff coal sells at Gibraltar
and other points in the Mediterranean
where, alone, there is much chance of Amer
can coal competing in Europe with the
English product for about two Shillings a
ton less than it is possible to deliver Anne
rican coal. Even if the English coal trade
makes its foreign customers pay the tax
|of a shilling a ton, English coal would
still have too great an advantage in price
for successful competition from here, on
the basis of existing prices of the two va
rletics of coal and charters for shipping.
The heavy freights which have to be
pain by American shippers stand in the
way of present developing the European
market for the coal of this country. Soft
coal at Hampton Road sells at $3.50 per
ton, and ship charters add 1915 per ton,
so that the price in the Mediterranean is
about Sc % per ton. Cardiff coal is now
quoted at about 16 to II shillings, loaded
on ship, or say 81 per ton, and the freight
to the Mediterranean brings the cost there
up to about % Shillings or over, or say
1915 per ton,
Export of coal from the United States is
growing rapidly in volume and amount,
but the best markets are Canada and South
America, the former country taking anthra-
cite coal and South America soft coal. The
railroads reaching tide-water have all recent
y spent heavy sums in new wharves and
other shipping facilities to handle this bu-
sinesS.

Fire 10 RiO-PicdIraS.
Store and Cigar Factory
a Total Loss.

At an early hour this morning fire was
discovered in the rear portion OF the second
story of a large frame building situated
justbehind the city hall in Rio Piecras.
Shortly after the alarm was given force
of workmen under the direction Of Alcalde
Enrique Acosta made we'll organized
attempt to extin9uish the fire, but finding
this was an inn ossibilty Ocng to lack Of
app ratus they gave their efforts to save and
Protect adjoining property.
The fire made quick work of the inllama-
bic materials with which the premises were
stocked ard in less than an hour both
building and contents were totally destroyed
The lower story WAS occupied by ge-
neral merchandise store and the apper part
as cigar factory and tobacco warehouse
owned by Juan Rivera of Cayey.
Shortly after the fire was discovered a

the tobacco in process Of manufacture
for $1,000.
Chief Techter ard squad of nsular po-
lice arrived at The scene of the fire as soon
as possible and ordered the arrest of eight

Reports from Various Army Posts

War Department officials in Washington
are receiving reports froW all parts of the
country concerning the increase of intOxi,
cation among the soldiers by reason of the
abolition CT the post canteens.
Several new saloons have opened and
are doing fourishing business in the vi
cinity of Fort Meyer. There has been a
decided increase in the number of saloons
in the village of Ph~buS, Va, adjoining
the military reservation. Instead of drink.
ing light beers and wines, such as were
sold in the post canteens the soldiers drink
cheap whiskey and other heavy liquors, and
they are led into gambling games and other
forms of vice which could not exist within
thea limits Of military post. From San
Francisco comes the information that there
has been a large increase in the number
of saloons in the neighborhood OF the Pre-
sidio.

other nearby places, all stand ready to en-
