THE NEW CABINET MEMBERS.
PayDe's Connection with Leuse of
Indian Lands Questioned.

Indian Lands Questioned.
Washington, Jan. 9.-The Senate, In
executive session, to-day confirmed
the nominations of Hon. i. M. Shaw,
to be Secretary OF the Treasury, and of
Hon. Henry G. Payne, to be Postmas-
ter General.
The confirmation of Mr.. Shaw was
accomplished without comment, but
there was some controversy over the
action of the Committee on Postoffices
in reporting on Mr.. Payne's nomina-
ton without going through the for
mality of a meeting.
Senator Rawlins said that he had
desired to appear before the commit
tee for the purpose Of requesting that
an inquiry be instituted into the charge
that MIR. Payne had been interested in
the efforts to secure leases for the
purpose Of prospecting for minerals on
the Indian reservations in Utah, hav-
ing been president of the Florence
Mining Company.
Senator Spooner as a representative
of Mr.. Payne's own state replied TO
this statement by reading a letter ad-
dressed to himself by Mr. Payne, dated
several weeks back i'm which Mr. Payne
said that his connection with the Flor
ence company had terminated two
years ago. and that at present he had
no interest, direct or indirect, imme
date or remote. in that corporation.
Mr.. Rawlins thereupon said that the
explana ton was satisfactory.

Washington, Jan. 9.--The report OF
Hon. Martin Dodge, director of the
office of public road inquiries OF the
Agricultural Department for 1901. has
just been issued. Mr.. Dodge says that
the work OF his office during the year
was continued along the lines laid
down in previous reports. Represen-
tatves of the office visited nearly all
the states and made scientific investi
cations regarding local conditions. road
materials. etc. Several state legisla-
lures were furnished assistance in
framing new road laws. Farmers or
ganizatons. farmers Institutes, bust
ness organizations, schools and col
leges, petitioning for cooperation and
advice, were accommodated as far as
the resources of the office permitted.
Never before in the history of this
country, says the report, has there
been so much interest manifested in
the subject of road building and more
actual work in that line was done last
year than ever before. 1t is the in-
tention of the director in continuing
the work during the ensuing year. to
enlarge it's scope so far as the appro-
priation will permit.
Out of a large number of requests
for practical cooperation, five places
have been selected where the Office
will assist in building object lesson
roads. These places are Buffalo. N.
". Cumberland, Nd; Charlottesville,
Va; .Ionesboro, Tenn, and Tama, Ia.
SECTIONS of the various kinds of roads,
including earth, gravel, macadam, etc.,
will be built. The office will cooperate
with the National Good Roads Asso-
citation and the Southern Railway IN
the building of object lesson roads
in the states of North Carolina. Ten
nessee, South Carolina. Georgia aud
Virginia.
The director says that it should be
distinctly understood that the work OF
the office is purely educational. There
Is no intention to shift the burden and
responsibility of constructing improved
roads from the states and counties to
the general government. In order TO
meet the constantly increasing de-
mands that are being made from time
to time for practical assistance and
and advice. the director suggests the
orga nization of two or three outfits
of road building machinery. including
rock crushers, screens rollers, road
graders, etc. to be sent TO the various
places which have asked for the CO.
operation of the department and where
preparations have been made for actu-
al road construction. Each of these
outfits should be accompanied by one
or two practical road builders and a
competent road engineers. The drec-
tor asks an increase to $4,000 of the
appropriation for his Office
