f'rcssatS Reports ofWork of Interior
Dc.,Ir. E;cn,--i}eprei!utiO ON
the NsaioIul D6alnin.

Mds.lEa ON, Lee. l4.--The annual
report "a tne SECRETARY o1 the interior,
covering the MUrn OF the different
bran, hes OF tina, department of the gov
eminent through the fiscal year, has
been made public. Recommendations
are made for changes in homestead
laws and pension regulations. The re-
port shows that public lands disposed of
through the year aggregated 22,S24 300
acres. Existing laws relating to public
lands in many instances do not provide
the government, and numerous frauds
involving several hundred thousand
acres have been discovered.
In homestead lands the brevity of the
residence term is found not to carry
out the purpose OF congress, but rather
tends to encourage speculation under
cover of the law. 1t is found in a large
proportion of cases that the homestead
settler assumes a tract of land with the
intention of remaining no longer than
IA months, abandoning his claim and al
lowing it to remain unimproved for
years. Land is accumulated by these set
tiers and held for opportunity for SALE
The secretary advises the repeal of the
Communication clause of the homestead
act. and with it change in the timber
and stone lands acts.
The report of the commissioner of pen
slons shows that the total number OF
pensioners is now l.O43,933, the loss
through the year amounting to osly
1901. 1t is believed that this is the last
year where the pension list will contain
an enrolment of over 100000 persons.
The cost of maintaining the fund is 81. rs
per capita of population, but the de-
crease in numbers is now believed to be
SO rapid that in ten years there will be
/; niue burden in carrying the roll The
i estimated number OF survivors of the
war of the rebellion is 900 900. of which
/ 1o3'456 soldiers and sailors are now on
the list. An unknown army" of 200, 900
has never asked for pensions.
| The commissioner of education, in his
data. reports that in the last fiscal wear
there were l5,s25,SS7 pupils enrolled in
! the public school. The total enrolment
| of public and private schools, acade-
mics and colleges was 1S.OS0. $40. The
total number of colleges, universities
f, and chronological schools was 63S Com
merce is taught in 1T universities, 81
public and private normal schools. $50
academies 3,2l3 public schools and $40
, business schools, with 2lO,G97 students
engaged in preparation for commercial
work.
The Indian population of the United
States is approximately 100000. There
are 15G reservations. containing 55,-
1000 acres. outside of the Indian Terri
tory and New York. A marked progress
toward civilization is noticed, and the
adjustment of Indian agencies is said
to be a help in enabling the Indian to
break from ancient tribal traditions and
influences and become self supporting.

COREANS FEAR EXTRACTION.
Country if the Japanese and
Russians Clash.

Seoul, Dec. 16.-More rioting has
taken place at Mokphe and Monoay
Japanese mob wounded II Coreans.
High Corean officials are hurrying to
Mokphe to try and quell the disorders.
SO far Russia has not interfered.
United States Minister Allen has de-
manded definite answer from the
Corean government regarding the open
;ing of the port OF Wiju. Despite Amer
ican, British and Japanese pressure,
Russian influence over the Corean gov
eminent is apparently mistaken, and it
Is expected that Corea will procras-
innate in dealing with the matter, and
possibly may refuse eventually to act
at all. A feeling of unrest is growing
among the Corean people, who fear that
whether it be peace or war between Rus
STA and Japan, the extinction of
the empire is imminent. 1t is believed
that the outbreak of hostilities or the
announcement of protectorate of any
kind will precipitate trouble. Foreign
ers In Seoul expect disorders, and the
American residents desire a warship.
The Corean army, numbering 5000 men,
is considered one of the most dangerous
factors in the situation, as an insubor-
-dinate element is beyond official con-
troll. In case of trouble it is feared that
the soldiers will be the first to lead the
rioting and begin looting.
A part of the Russian squadron has
ALREADY departed for Port Arthur, and
the remainder of the fleet will follow,
leaving no warships of that nation in
aCorean waters

Boston, Dec. 16.-The democrats won
AN overwhelming victory in the munic-
opal election Tuesday, Mayor Patrick
Collins being reelected by $4,000 plu-
Tality, the largest ever given a mayor
atty candidate in the history of the
city. The board of aldermen next year
will be solidly democratic, and that
party will have a large majority in the

Isthmus for the Present.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Regarding the
various reports about the dispatch of
troops to the isthmus OF Panama this
statement is made: Until the senate
shall have ratified the Hay-Buena Va
rilla treaty the administration will look
to the marines to protect the isthmus
and .eep oruer there, unless in the mean
time IL is learned that considerable
force OF Colombian troops are TO at
tack Panama In the latter event the
protection OF the republic could be best
accomplished by the army, and troops
would supplant the marines. 1t may be
stated, however, that the government
does not expect such an emergency to
arise at present, and has prepared to
retain the present force OF marines in
isthmian waters until after the ratifica-
ton OF the canal treaty.
Colon, Dec. 16.-The United States
auxiliary cruiser Dixie was alongside
the railroad dock Tuesday, discharging
all her stores. She is under orders to
sail for Philadelphia and will return
here with more marines for service on
the lsthmus. She will sail to-day or
Thursday after disembarking the ma

rines from the United States steamship
Prairie was landed here Monday, under
the command of Capt Smedley D. But
Ter, and entrained for Panama, whence
the marines will be sent to point on
the coast south of Panama. This step
was i'll consequence of the receipt of in
formation that Colombian troops had
ia:.GeG in that dire ction with the object
o. marching on Panama. If this is con-
frned it will mean the beginning of

1t was stated by well-known lawyer
