PUBLIC LANDS IN DEMAND.
cordinE to Annual Report Of
Land once Commas sioner.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The su-
nual report of Binger Hermann, COM
missioner of the general land Office,
shows that the public land disposed
of by the government during the year
aggregated 19,4ss,535 acres, an in
crease of 3,925,73s. acres over the
previous year.
OF the aggregate 1.757793 acres
were sold for cash, 17,614,792 acres
were embraced in miscellaneous en-
tries and the remainder was Indian
lands.
On October I last there were 81 for
est reserves, embracing 60,175,765
acres, an increase Of almost $4,000 900
acres since the last report. During
the fiscal year there were 1858 for
est fires discovered, which burned over
81, 799 cres. The constantly decreasing
area burned over is said to demon
strate the efficiency of the govern
ment forestry force.

jutant general Of the army, deals will
every feature of the army, and Begin
with a statement showing the army II
to be reduced by December + to q, 02'
men. of which 2,S77 belong to the stat
departments.
The report shows that during the
fiscal year there were IS officers killed
in action, or died of wound.
and disease, 81 resigned ant
| 6S retired. of the enlisted men
1,227 were killed or died OF
wounds and disease. 35,s06 were dis
charged on the expiration of service
5,49s were discharged for disability
or dismissed by order of court-martial
4,667 deserted, were missing and
203 retired.
In reviewing the reports of officers
who participated in the army and navy
maneuvers last September, Gen. Cor
bin says that much valuable informa-
tion was acquired. He strongly rec
ommends that similar exercises be
conducted annually, and made to en-
brace each year new theater of oper-
atoms, so that the benefit may be
shared by the different garrisons in
the several fields of defense.
Gen. Corbin recommends legislation
providing that, Maj. Gems. Merritt,
Brooks and Otis, now on the retired
list, be given the rank of lieutenant
general, and that Coils. Gilmore and
Williston be given the rank of briga-
der generals on the retired list.
Gen. Corbin has the following to say
regarding the canteen. "The restora-
ton of the exchange as it existed prior
to the passage of the act of February
2, 1901. prohibiting the sale of beer is
desired and urged by the great major
ity of officers and men, and by none
more than those of pronounced tenn
perance views. Numerous reports
confirm the views long held by this Of
fee that the old exchange contributed
to sobriety, health and contentment of
the men. The increase of assertions
and of trials for infractions of disei-
pline is, by those best informed, at
tributed to the abolition of the former
privileges of the exchange"
In conclusion he says: .'The instruc-
ton of our men in vocal music would
be step in the direction of content
ment and better discipline. Every
regiment should have its marching
song. Frequent practice in singing,
particularly during the long winter
evenings, would do much to make our
men satisfied to remain in quarters
and away from the baleful influence Of
the barrooms that exist in too great
numbers in the vicinity of all our mill
tary posts. These barrooms are under
the protection of the license and laws
of the several states, and are beyond
the control of the military authority"

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
ssae Very Inaeresfing Facts Aheuf
This Important BrPaeh Of the
Pestaa Service.

Washington, Nov. S.-The annual
gross cost of complete rural free
delivery service throughout the
United States will approximate $24.-
000, 900 according to the annual re-
port First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Wynne has received from August
w. Machen, the general superin-
tendent of the service. The remain
ing 10000 square miles not now COW
cred by rural free delivery service ac-
cording to the report will require the
employment of 10000 or 27.90o car
riers in addition to those now en-
ployed, making the entire force of
carriers when the extension of the
service is completed within the next
three years, 10000.
During the year 1902 12,403 petit
tions for the service were filed, making
a total on July !, last, of 22,646, which
exceeded by over 1000 the total num-
Der during the preceding four years.
Since July petitions received have av-
eraged over GOO month. With the
amount required for routes to begin
December /, the entire appropriation
has been absorbed, leaving on Decem-
Der 1, fully 1,700 routes for which there
is no appropriation available. This
number probably will be increased by
January to at least $500. Mr.. Wynne
and Mr.. Machen say that to comply
with the demands of the people and of
members of congress the department
will require an additional appropria-
ton, otherwise further ESTABLISHING,
of service will be deferred until July 1
next. If the additional funds are
granted $4,000 rural free delivery let
ter carriers will be in active service by
May 1.
The estimates call for ten division
superintendent, an INCREASE of three
in number. On July 1, last, the city
free delivery service embraced 933
cities, including four in the insular
possessions, and the total number
of uniformed letter carriers in the
city service was 17,S75, as against &c.,
$50 the previous year. 1t is estimated
that the free delivery will be extended
to 72 Offices during the current year.
1t is slso estimated that the expendi-
ture will aggregate $21,32s,30O for the
maintenance and extension of city de-
ivery service during the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1908, including $S12,-
600 for special delivery service, which
branch has been added to the free de-
livery system during the past year.
These figures show an increase over
appropriations for the current year
of $1,S22,S5

Washington, Nov. 4.-Ellis H. Rob

the year were $562,47s,2 33, and the ex-
penditures $471, 100, S57, showing a sur

increase of $15,s59,252 in the receipts
from customs, the internal revenues,
under the operation of new laws re-
pealing the war taxes fell off $50, 30O,-
SAL. There was decrease of So, 343,-
4Sl In expenditures on account of the
war department, and an increase Of
$7,2o6,149 in the cost of the navy. The
total receipts of the year from all
sources, including the public debt.
were $1,o62, 124,o37, and the disburse-
ments, SOC, United States
notes and treasury notes were re-
deemed in gold to the amount of ST.
4s2.59o, of the former and 81 ,274 $50 Of
the latter, without any impairment Of
the gold reserve Of $3.50 900 900.
While the accounts of the public
debt on their face show an increase Of
$15,2s3,512 in the total of the debt, il
allowance be made for the increase of
$57.624.400 in gold certificates, the ma
tional obligations will be shown to
have been diminished by S42,s4o,SsS
during the fiscal year. The bonds held
by the treasurer as security for the
notes of the national banks were So
0S0,700 less at the end of the fiscal
year than IL months before. but in the
same interval the securities held for
deposits in the banks were s1S,953,200
greater, so that the increase in bonds
held for both purposes was so,s72,o50.
The growth in the volume of money
In circulation during the year was
$74,0s2, $50, carrying the per capita
from 27.9S to 2S.43. The element of
gold coin and gold certificates was
the largest part, and the increase
reached SCI, 966,174 and advanced from
40.30 per cent. of the total to Alb
per cent. In silver of all denomina-
tons, including certificates, there
was an increase of S25,226,l46, of
which $6,4s6,0l4 was in subsidiary
coin. The reduction in treasury
notes of Sl7.677. 500 is due TO their
withdrawal.

FAILS TO IDENTIFY MASON.
Pawnbroker Visits jail, But Picks
Ont the Wrong Man. % Pawner
of Watch.

Boston, Nov. s.-Prompted by the
finding in n pawpshop here of the
watches of Agnes McPhee and Clara
been murdered in assault cases in this
vicinity, the police are pressing with
all their energy to place, il possible,
the responsibility for the crimes. 1t
has been learned that a negro en-
ployed by the Mason family has gone
away from the city, and the police
cannot ascertain where he is. 1t was
a negro who pawned the Morton
watch.
The pawnbroker, Joseph Nemser,
in whose store both the McPhee and
Morton watches were found, was at
police headquarters Friday and re-
peated his stories about the watches.
after which he started for the East
Cambridge Jail to see Mason. for the
purpose of identifying him.
Nemser failed to identify Mason.
AT the Jail Mason was placed among
six other men, and Nemser carefully
scrutinized each one. He picked out
one man as the person who pawned
the watch, but 1t was not Mason.
During the afternoon Mrs. Sayers,
from WATERFOWL, called at the Cam
bridge Jail and told Sheriff Fairbairn
that she wanted to see Alan G. Mason,
because she believed from the pictures
which had appeared in the newspapers
that he was the man who had annoyed
her last summer in library room in
this city. Mason again was placed in
line with other inmates of the Jail,
and, with them, was subjected to rig
i'd scrutiny. AS in the case Of Mem
ser's attempt at Identification, Mrs.
Sayers was allowed to give no sign or
utter no word in the presence of the
men before her, but when she returned
to the sheriff's Office from the Jail she
declared that the fourth man in line
was the man who had annoyed her,
The fourth man was Mason.

valuable to the farmer, enabling COM
