To nullify attempts of cattle com
panies and others to obtain public
lands in violation of the law, the sec
retary of the interior has overruled
former decisions OF the department,
that widows or minor orphans of SOL
diers or sailors do not have to reside
on the land on which they make home
stead entry. The decision, which af-
fects large number OF cases and
which has an important bearing on the
public land frauds. is made in the case
OF Mrs. Anna Bowes, who made an en-
try on land 10 the Broken Bow dis
trict In Nebraska. Mrs. Bowes
claimed the right OF entry as the
widow of sailor in the Civil War.
under a section of the revised stat
utes, which allows such dependents TO
make homestead entries with credit
for the time Of the soldiers or sailors
military or naval service. 1t was ad-
mitted this case was made under an
agreement with the Standard Cattle
Company. whereby Mrs. Bowes at the
time Of the entry leased the land to
the company with a further agree
ment that the company should have
the option Of purchase of the land.
The department decides that Mrs.
Bowes is required to maintain resi-
dence on the land and that her agree
ment with the company invalidated
the entry and requires its cancella

Large Deficit Probable.

The deficit in the general fund of the
state at the close of the present bien-
NAL term, November 30 1904, will be
1897 PSI .25 according to the estimate
made by State Auditor Holmberg at
the commencement of the new fiscal
year on December LIST.
This is the sum that the total appro-
preparations will exceed the estimated
income for the two years. and as it
will be the policy of the administration
from this time on TO shave certain ap-
preparations and disallow others in
their entirety, the deficit will. there
fore. not be an actual debt against the
state.
The general fund OF the state should
not be confused with the military fund
or the cost of maintaining troops in the
field. That money is raised through
certificates of Indebtedness which must
be met by bond issue authorized by
future Legislature. There is no limit
to the amount of money that may be
expended for quelling riot or insurrec-
ton
Auditor Holmberg announces that
maintenance appropriations and i'm
provement appropriations in the sec
ond class will be paid in the order in
which the various bills became laws.
Among the appropriations that will be
left out in the cold If this rule prevails
will be the s2S0,000 authorized for the
erection OF new buildings at the State
Insane Asylum.
In the third class it is probable that
only the maintenance appropriation for
the Soldiers Home can be paid.
The Worlds Fair appropriation is
supposed to go in the fourth class, but
arrangements may be made for secur-
ing at least part of the money for ex-
hibit purposes. The salaries of fair
board employees will not suffer, as they
will be included in the first class ap-
preparation list, which provides for the
payment of all salaries and expenses OF
the state government outside OF the In
stitutions The penal institutions will
get all OF their appropriations. but the
charitable and educational will be ls-n-
tied to their actual running expenses
with all improvements cut cut

i've demarcation and mapping of the
States and Canada, along the forty
ninth parallel west of the summit of
the Rocky mountains" was transmit
ted to the house by the treasury de-
partment.
Incidental to the general inyestiga-
ton being conducted by the interior
department into the land frauds in the
West, an inquiry is being made of the
records in the general land Office in
Washington by inspectors detailed for
that purpose. Their inquiries are in
connection with charges that employees
of the office have given advance in
formation of lands to be set aside for
forest reservations whereby opportun-
tiles are afforded speculators to take
up lands in the territory to be reserved.
Secretary Hitchcock will not make any
detailed statement as to the scope of
the inquiry to be made. confining him
self to the general statement that an
investigation of the records of the
local office along the lines indicated Is
under way.

fierce assault on the Panama treaty
and in that connection again freely
criticised what he denominated pres
idential usurpation." He declared that
the United States is becoming affected
to the core with covetousness. and he
said the country seemed to be CULVER
ing with doubt as to whether it should
go over entirely or pursue the better
course followed by our national faith
ers. So far as he was concerned he
would not be so mean as to yield to
a temptation simply to advance the
commercial interests of his state. He
asserted that the United States would
do as 1t might please with the island
of Cuba, and added: "She is now fet-
tered to the decks of our warships as
firmly as Professor Langley's airship
was ever attached to his house boat"
He spoke of the negotiation of the
Panama canal treaty as a grotesque
act. and declared that Panama had no
more right to appoint a minister to
tbe United States than that country
had to consecrate saint He came"
the eenssor continued. "as a swift
winged messenger of falsehood dis
matched on his mission by the Panama

Naval Bureau Report.

The annual report of Admiral II. C.
Taylor, chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, recommends the creation of a
general stnff Of the navy. the appoint
ment of two vice admirals. one for the
Atlantic station, a material increase in
the number of officers and the addition
OF a number OF cruisers to the navy.
AS affecting the personnel OF the ma
Wy. Admiral Taylor mentions defeat.
which he says is common to most mill
tary services, whether at sea or on
land. namely. the advadced age at
which officers reach the more impor-
tant commands. The duty Of command
ing a battleship and fleets of battle
ships, he says, is one which requires,
together with a large experience and
ability, the energy and nervous endur-
ance which Is found as a rule among
men much younger than those who Will
command your battleships and fleets
for some years to come. AS a remedy
for the present defect he urges the re-
tirement of officers when they have
reached a certain age in a certain
grade He suggests that an officer OF
rank Of captain. retire, and that a cap
tain. who is fifty-five has not reached
the grade of rear admiral. retire.
After urging an addition to the ser
vice of thirty lieutenant commanders
and fifty lieutenants. Admiral Taylor
says that at present lieutenants are do
ing the duty which should be done by
lieutcnants commanders.
