CHiri'E-VVAS CAI SED ONLY REAL INDIAN TROVBLE OF THE TEAR INTERIOR AFFAIRS REPORT gfcnlarj IJMh» Review* Progress of Pension, Indian, Land, Pateut, Educational and Territorial Af fair*—Quotes Figure* on Lok i:li:it Operations of tbe Chippevra Tribe Alaskan Development. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 24.— The annual report of Secretary of the In terior Bliss, made public tonight, re views in detail the progress of pension, Indian, land, patent, educational and territorial affairs. Reviewing the gradual diminution of public land area Secretary Bliss says: "Of three hundred and one million acres of desert land requiring Irriga tion to render them valuable farming lands, the available water supply is sufficient for only 71,500,000 acres, leav ing 260,676,000 acres suitable only for grazing purposes. There are thirty forest reservations, embracing an esti mated area of 40,719,474 acres." The Indians are declared to have made substantial progress, and the Chippewa outbreak was the only serious disturbance of the year. Re ferring to this trouble, the report points to Commissioner of Indian Af fairs Jones' successful efforts in bring ing about the surrender of the Indians, and says the origin of the trouble is now under Joint investigation by the departments of the interior and justice. As to the logging operations there, which figured so conspicuously in the discussion of the outbreak, Secretary Bliss says: "The aggregate acreage of Chippewa pine and agricultural lands to be sold originally was 2,984,297, exclusive of the land allotted to the Indians. There have been disposed of to date 86,545 acres of pine lands, and 320,364 acres A DIFFER EXT BRAND. il l irm'iiffir/ Ol<>rk— Front! What did that gentleman In No. 44 want? •erore° Ut ~ He Ba> ' S he WaUt * driukln * whisi{ y this time, you sent him cooking whlaky of agricultural lands, aggregating 407, --179 acres. The total amount received from the Bale of pine and agricultural lands is approximately ?659,913, which has been deposited in the treasury to the credit of the Indians, as required by law. Of the agricultural lands sold, 820,634 acres were embraced in home stead entries, on which there are due $400,543. Congress has so far appro priated, as an advance to the Chip pewa Indians, $2,060,659, which appears to be reimbursable to the government. The approximate value of all the lands ceded by the Indians aggregates $f>, --173.010. "Upon the disposal of all such lands." the secretary says, "it is doubtful whether compliance with the require ments of this act regarding the dis bursements of moneys advanced by the United States would impose any vcrv great hardship on the Indians. N\, complaints of the undervaluation of timber by the present corps of ex aminers have been made. The result of the dead and down timber logging operations on the reservations during the year dearly indicates the wisdom of the carrying on of the work by the Indian contractors, under the regu lations promulgated, as being in the int. res* of the Indians. Logging oper ations on this reserve were discontln Bed some time ago, but the Indians tly hive petitioned for a resump tion of the work, which will receive favorable consideration. Considerable has been made to induce the Mule Lac Chippewas to go to White Earth reservation, but with meagre success, though Ohlppewa Commission er Hall hopes quite a number will re move this autumn." The Ptnate is urged to ratify the treaty with the Ulntah Indians to re ceive such I'ncompahgres as should In allotted to lands on the I'intah reser vation. Xo agreement, however, can b? made with the I'intahs for the sale of all their lands, in order that all not needed for allotment might be offered for sale. The commission reports Its failure and says the terms specified were not acceptable to the tribe. The workings of the Curtis Indian territory act arc praised, and the more progres sive element of the Indians In the ter ritory are reported as inclined to ac cept the situation in good faith. PfINBION MATTERS. Reviewing pension matters. Secretary Bliss reports 635,000 claims of all classes are pending, and says a sep arate division has been organized for the adjudication of claims growing out of the war with Spain. These soi.iiers will receive their pensions under the general law. for permanent disabilities contracted in the service. He also con curs in the recommendation tor the creation of a commission to revise the pension laws and regulations in the in terest of a future reliable, intelligent and uniform practice. Early legislative enactment for the taking of the twelfth census is urged, in view of the necessarily large amount of work preparatory to the enumera tion of the population.

It is anticipated that the present square miles of forests now included within the forest reser vations can be thoroughly and eco nomically surveyed withfin five years if adequate appropriations are made. The advancement along educational lines Is outlined by an Increase of over a quarter of a million of echool pupils in the United States for the fiscal year ISS6-7 over -the prevloute one, but yet the total average amount of schooling per individual for the whole United States, measured by the present stan dard, does not quite equal five years of 200 days each for each inhabitant.

The reindeer and their Dapland driv ers in .Alaska, have largely passed into the service of the postoffioa department and are now being distributed for car rying the Yukon mail up and down the valley of the Yukon, through a thou sand mites of scattered miming settle ments in the wilderness. ITie report makes no mention of the recommendation, of Commisslonfer of Railways Longetreet for the govern ment construction a-nd operation of a •new transcontinental trunk line from Kansas City to San Diego. Secretary Bliss, summing up the re port of Gov. Brady, of Alaska, calls attention to the difficulty of prevent ing the smuggling of liquor irnto Alas ka, It being impossible to enforce the present regulations without a fiVet of revenue cutters and Bteam launches to patrol the tortuous ehaninelau of South east Alaskan waters. Smuggling pie vails and saloons are open in all of the towns and mining ©amps. The governor reports a consensus of opin ion in favor of a stringent hig^h license la-w, which would tend to stamp out smuggling and liquor selling to the natives. The application to Alaska of the liquor laws in force in the District of Columbia, with several minor modiil- cations, Is urged as meeting a majority approval. The governor boll eves that Alaska should and can pay revenue lrto the United States treasury. POSTOFFICE PROSPERITY Slmntvm in the Report of the First Assistant Postmaster General.

PAUL GI,OBS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 20, 1898. RAIL TRADE BRISK SOME STARTLDTG SURPRISES Dili- TSG THE PAST WEEK AGREEMENT NOT RATIFIED Pittsbnxff Interest Withdrew and the Elaborate Plan Fell to the Ground Maker* of Rail* Assert It Would Be S*n*ele«s to Cut Prices Development* in Gen, eral Iron Trade Favorable. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.— 1n Its review of trade conditions, the Iron Age, the leading authority on the iron business, win 'say today: "The rail trade ha* had a startling surprise during the last week. It was the general belief that nothing but formally affixing the signatures to the agreement and their ratification by boards of directors was required to make the common selling agency an established fact. At the last moment, it Is reported, the Pittsburg interest withdrew and the elaborate plan fell to the ground. It appears, however, that a series of fresh negotiations were un dertaken, and that some sort of a truce has been now arranged for among the rail-makers of the Central "West. Be fore these were consummated, a large business was done in the West at con cessions, but there Is a good deal of tonnage still In the market. Buyers appear to have withdrawn to test the strength of the Western understand ing. In the East a good many orders have been placed. "Rail makers point to the fact that a very large tonnage for 1899 is assur ed, so large. Indeed, that the Western mills, particularly, will be fully em ployed. They argue that it would be senseless to cut prices, and thus abandon as good a chance as they are likely to have for years to make the rail trade profitable. Yet the danger of very sharp competition is close at hand, particularly since the hope of the adoption of a general working ar rangement will be abandoned. "To the iron trade the developments In the rail trade during the past week mean that higher prices in that branch are out of the question, and that con sumption will not be hampered from that source. Those rail mills which are not exclusively engaged In this branch will not be as potent and dis turbing factors in the general steel trade as they have been at times In recent years. Rail profits will not be partly applied to a fighting fund In the billet and other departments. The hap penings in the rail trade will, there fore, be regarded with equanimity, if, in fact, they are not considered favora ble from at least one point of view, and that is the consumption of steel for 1899. If a heavy rail demand, a general active consumption stimu lated by widespread increased pur chasing capacity, coupled with low prices and heavy export shipments co incide — as they promise to do — then 1899 ought to strain our productive re sources to the utmost "So far as the general trade Is con cerned the developments of the week have been favorable throughout. Sea board consumers of foundry Iron are beginning to take increasing interest in the market. In Philadelphia sales have been heavy, and elsewhere leading founders are coming forward. Some of the large pipe founders are testing the market and some good-sized inquiries have been out for basic open-hearth ! pig. In the Pittsburg district there has been some good buying of Besse mer pig, while steel billets have recov- ! ered from their recent weakness and are held at higher prices. In Chicago there have been very large purchases of car material, bales of barrels figur ing up 10,000 tons, while one order for 5,600 tons of beams was placed. "Export inquiries are numerous, but the question of ocean freights is be coming more and more troublesome. It has stopped much new business and is delaying deliveries on old contracts." Live Stock Markets. SOUTH ST. PAUL. Nov. 24.— The receipts at the Union stockyards today were: Cattle, 125; calves, 50; hogs, 2M; steep, 10.

This is a problem that confronts almost everybody where large systems of water pipicg are in use. A new German process designed to prevent this goes one step far n'nd wovidea an opportunity for its expansion by cold. Into the iron pipe as far as it is above ground there Is Inserted a second narrower D?pe of thin sheet tin or lead, which fs filled with aa elastic sub stance, such *£ rubber, for instance. This insertion remains unaffected by ordinary pressure, but if extreme cold should cause the water to treeaet the elastic insertion is eomi>rein*t-d t>j; so cauch as the volume of water is increased, by freezing. In thawing tho Insertion expands again to its original circumference. The tin or lead around the inserti ob is for tarn Durpose of preventing the war*r fr^m assuming an unpleasant taste or odor.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean. Another poker game, or rather the contin uation of one which began when John Love, Col. Reed, Lucky Sanders, and Hugger Joe struck the mining camp, two months before, was on. The "parlor" of the Reno hotel, with its Bide door opening into the bar, was the scene of the contest. More than a thou sand times the littla old marble-top table had been fairly covered with greenbacks, sil ver and gold, while seated around it prosper ous miners, like these fou», had battled with Dame Fortune. John Love nad come to Reno from th» Bast. Big, Jolly and good-natured, he was tha brunt of all the jokes the horde of min ers in the hotel could conoelve. But he was a poker player. "With five cards In his hands and a high stack of yellows and blue* he would baok his Judgment mull the last check had passed into the hands of his adversaries and the last dollar from his pocket. These four played for casb. and cash only. "Put you' papah lv the stove. Gentlemen nevan aek favors lv a gentlemen's pokah game," 001. Reed had frequently observed when paper was offered in lieu of cash. And the colonol was a poker player also. He played with a cairn deliberation which threw his companions entirely off guard. Lucky Sanders, so called because of his good for tune at poker, his first name having never been known to his companion*, was a quick Slayer. A glance at his flve cards and his raw settled It with him. Phigger Jones had acquired his Christian name because of his anxiety to gpend all his waking hours at the Reno hotel poker table. When Plugger got up in the morning his flrßt act was to " 'low" to some one that he "wouldn't mind slttin* In." He rarely fail«d to have a quorum seated about the marble top table before the dinner bell was heard. It was so on this occasion, and Love and the oolonel seemed to have all the luck. Thus tho game run until Lucky and Plugger saw their pile of checks each representing $100 disappear one after the other. Lucky was dealing and he asked Plugger, who sat at his right, to cut the cards. Go on. I'll see if I can't drap on somethin' without cuttin'," he said. GREATEST OF THSUH GAMES. The pasteboards were dealt without the cut. The colonel as usual was in calm deliberation after picking up his hand. Jones seemed suddenly to become serious, and threw his cards Into the discard with an oath. Lucky peeked at his Just as Love covered the col onel's ante with a $20 raise. Lucky's card* followed Plugger's into the deck. But the colonel came back at Love with a $5o raise. Love looked again and raised the pot an other |50. The colonel met tbe • raise and called tor two cards. "You uns are up against t'other now. I guess," Lucky remarked. Love stood pat and bet a hundred. The colonel studied the cards a minute and raised a hundred. Love raised a hundred more. 8o did the colonel Plugger nearly fell from his chair when Love made another hundred raise, and suggested that "the limit be drapped." The colonel agreed and began to count his pile. "Seven forty-three," he said, as he pushed it into the center of the table. "Here's four seventy-nine. All I got here. I'll write you an 'I. 0. U.,' Love said, Dush ing his pile into the mass of greenbacks and gold. "No gentleman would offah papah," the colonel said, as he had under similar circum. stances a thousand times before. The remark seemed to anger Love. "Plugger, burn up all the cards but our hands," he ordered, and Plugger gathered up the discards and deck and threw them into the ooen stove. "Colonel, I propose to see them cards of yourn. Will you trust me on the honor of a gentleman to leave the room for more money? Write your own name ou the back of each card." BANKERS BECOME THEIR BACKERS. The colonel did as requested and passed over his hand face downward for Love to mark. Then Love left the room. He bent his footsteps toward the larger of the two banks of Reno. At the doorway he encountered the president of the institution, George Thomas. Pulling his cards from his pocket he laid them before Thomas, and said: "George, me and the colonel is a-goin' It What's them worth?" Thomas' eyes fairly stood out of their sock eta as he surveyed the pasteboards. "Them's wuth the whole sheebang," he replied. A few minutes later Thomas, with his pock ets bulging, accompanied Love to the Reno hotel parlor. "Colonel, this gentleman sees yo' rats* and raises you a thousand," Love said laying a stack of bills on the table with the heap of greenbacks and gold. The colonel glanced at Thomas. "Wait ten minutes. No gentleman would offah pupah " he said, and he forthwith disapepar^d from the room. He walked around thr> comer of the hotel to the Second Dank of tteno. Step ping to the cashier's window ne ask- a fcr "Bill Dawson," the owner of the institution Bill came around the partition. "Bill, look at these an' tell me what io' think they is wuth." A glance sufficed Bill. "Holy snikes and grasshoppers," he said. "Colonel, tii'm is worth every cent In this bank." Two minutes later Bi.l Dawson and the colonel appeared at the hotel parlor. Dawbon saw Thomas and nudged the colinel. The two bankers glared at each other, but neither s^pke. "See you, and raise you flve thousand " the colonel said, laying a pile of bills in tho heaj. By this time the news of the fierce poker game had spread about Reno and a score of miners were soon crowding about the play era. Thus the betting went on, $5,000 at "a time, until the resources of both banks were exhausted. Love's last bet was $7,500, and the colonel called it. Every one in the room stood on tiptoe and the deepest silence prevailed, for every one knew that the fate of one of the two banks hinged on these poker hands. Love looked bo serious that his old acquaintances standing near gazed In wonder at him. With delibera tion fee threw his flve cards, on which hinged the fate of Thomas' or Dawson's bank on the table before him, face downward. "Colonel, look at that wrl'in' and tell the boys if those are the flve cards I held in the game," he said. The coloi'el looked at his s'gnature on the beck of each card and after n'di'ng assent he laid his hand face downward for Love's inspection. "All right, colonel," Love paid. Thomas and Dawson. both coiifldfnt, wer« glaring at each other when Love turned over one card. It was the ace of spades. The miners leaned forward and Love turred over the ace of heart*. Then he exposed the ace of cubs. Dawson and the'coionel lonked at each other, and both colored slightly. Then Love turned over the tr*y of spades. The two men looked wondcrlngly alt sa^h other. They knew that the next card meant life or death for Dawson's bank. Love did not hesi tate for a moment before he turned over the ace of diamond!). The colonel and Dawson seemed stunned for a moment. The colonel was the first to act. Taking up h» five cards he tore them in two. and walking over to the stove threw them Into ;!he fire. Daw son looked at Love as he raked the pile of currency, gold and silver to his side of the table. Then he left the room and three min utes later the doors of Dawson's bauk wer# closed for all time. TAMPERED WITH HIS HAT. Amusing Trick Played on a Chicago Club Member. From the Chicago Chronicle. A certain member of and pretty con stant frequenter at the Chicago club is regarded by hte fellows as something of a hypochondriac, and they think U ro harm to play a variety of tricks upon him, hoping thereby to recall him to a saner frame of mind. Some of the tricks they play upon him would be called paradoxes if they were only words. For example, all sorts of devices are employed to meet all sorts of '^symptoms" in their patient but not by immediately attacking them. On the contrary, the plan is to encourage them. The latest symptom thus treated manifested itself in the patient's head. He was, as his friends believed, perfectly well, but he imagin ed that he had some disease of the head and told of some strange and very bad feelings In the frontal region of his cranium. Hiß friends began at once to sympathize with him and to say that a new disease, called by the doctors the swelled head, had been discovered. At hearing this he became [§, flood Am* •xca.isd, f«it ot Ma top Financial X MONEY t" To loan on improved property la Minneapolis and St. Paul. 5 0R 6% In Sums to Salt. 4 per cent allowed on six months' deposit R.

Then he resumed Ms place at the table, but though wine was offered him he declined to drink it, aji-d d-elicate food was set before him, but he could not eat it. Still his friends hold him in conversation, In which hie critical condition formed the chief topic. Meanwhile one of hia fellows stole away from the party and out to tha hat rack. He deftly sllp-ped a ribbon of thick paper under the band lining of the Imaginary sick man's h«.t. Soon afterward the company broka up, and when the un<h«.ppy owner of the stuffed j hat came to out it on he exclaimed that his head was already too large foi It and asked distressfully what he Rhould do. He was told that he would better do nothing, but to go home and to bed, but he was charged to make his appearance there the next night When his friends hoped he would b* much better. The next night found the game com. pany a.gain assemibled at the club. The man who thought himself sick told over his symptoms, the principal being that of the enlargement of his skull. But notwithstanding, an hour was passed merrily enough, and meantime a second strip of paper was placed under tha band lining, as before. The effect on the deluded nrnn was the same ns be. fore. Hia head was still more swollen, his hat bound him painfully tight and the owner of it went away despondent. However, he returned to the club tha following night in a most unhappy plig-ht, but only to have the same trick played him again and again on suc ceeding nights till the head and hat had most unequal measurements. Then the man grew really ill and his friends, becoming alarmed, revealed to him their mischievous secret. The poor man quickly recovered, but it was a month or more before he could muster up courage to go to the club again. And when he did go there was too much talk there of the swelled hpad disease to please him. j RES U ITtS Are What You Want. « E P I — —u%s TREATMENT (IRES THE FIRST TIME.
