PENSION ROLL ONE OP HOXOlt.
The Secretary Snjri the Policy Has Not
Keen to Sato Money An KITort Mndo
to Defeat Impostors Hut Howard the
DeierTlnc Other I'otnta,
Washington, Dec. C. Tho roport of
Secretary of tho Interior Francis opens
With n discussion of tho public domain.
It shows that tho total number of acres
disposed of up to Juno 80 last woro
040,000,000, leaving publlo domain still
vacant estimated at over 000,000,000,
not including tho district of Alaska,
with an area of over 8G9,000,000 acres.
Figures that nro givuu demonstrato
that tho country is boing saUlcd with
great rapidity nnd that tho publlo do
main is being diminished by great
strides. If tho rato of disposition of
tho last 13 years, which is 25,000,000
acres a year is continued for 18 years to
como, there will bo littlo of tho publlo
domain outsido of Alaska in possession
of tho government at tho expiration of
that time.
Discussing forest reservations tho ro
port says no permits to cut timbor on
public lands should bo granted for any
purposo other than to supply tho needs
of actual settlers in tho neighborhood
of tho forests whero timber is to bo cut
and should bo accompaniod by all possU
bio safeguards. Secretary Fraticis urges
upon congress tho nocossity for legisla
tion for tho reclamation nnd disposal of
lands within tho arid regions.
Tho totol amount paid by tho govern
ment in pensions uud tho cost of dis
bursing tho sauio for tho last 31 years
is $,031, 8 17,7(19. This lacks only a lit
tlo over $340,712,500 of being equal to
tho high water mark of tho interest
bearing public debt. Tho present num
ber of pensioners, which is 070,078, is
greater by 4,000 than in 1893, whon tho
maximum annual cost was readied, anu
is greator than over boforo. This is duo
to tho death of old soldiers and tho cou
tinuod payment of allowances to their
heirs, whilo tho amount paid is de
creased through tho deatli of invalid
pensioners leaving no dependents.
Tho pension policy of tho dopartmont
has been to mnko tho pension list n roll
of honor rather than to sayo monoy to
tho government ; tho effort hns been to
dofent designs of impostors, whilo rec
ognizing tho claims of tho needy and
dosorving.
General rniblla sentiment, however,
is that tho obligations of tho govern
ment is confined to thoso who fought
for its maintenance nnd thoso depend
ent upon thorn. Tho total number of
our ponsionors in foreign countries was
3,781, who wera paid $582,733. Tho
commissioner of pensions has been di
rected to accopt from pensioners resid
ing in Germany only such declaration
and other papers of claimants as may
bo mado boforo n United States minis
ter or consul or othor consul officer of
tho United States. Tho stato dopart
mont has boon rrqnosted to instruct our
representatives abroad to mako tho no
toxial feo 25 cents, u compensation in
vogue horo.
lucrcaso from 88 toS12 nor mouth is
recommended for nil wholly disabled
and debtituto Mexican war survivors.
t Under tho head of Indian affairs tho
secretary ropoats tho rcrnmmondntion
of his predecessor for a commission of
three, otio of whom shall bo an nrmy
olllcor, to tako tho place of tho commis
sioner and assistant commissioner of
Indian affairs. With regard to tho dis
pute over tho Uncompaligro Indian res
ervation in Utah, in which valuablo
deposits of asphaltum liavo boon dis
covered, Soerotary Francis expressed
tho opinion that some legislation should
bo enacted whoroby tho pooplo of tho
United Stntcs can nt nn early dato liavo
tho benefit of thoso valuable and useful
deposits.
Tho secretary, makes no comment on
tho work of tho Dawes Indian commis
sion, but includes in tho report a par
tial roport of tho commission, which
is now ongagod under tho net of .Tune
10, 189(1, iu determining all applications
for citizenship iu tho fivo civilized
tribes. Ry tho terms of tho net that
work must bo completed by Deo. 10.
1800. Tlio commission says tho work is
progressing with a colority that ex
ceeded their expectations. Thoy have
already oxamincd 5,8(19 of tlio 7.000
claims.
Undor tho head of bondaided rail
roads tho soerotary says hohos complied
with tho joint resolution of Juno 10,
1800. requiring him to continue tho is
8U0 of patnnts to bonn'tldo purchasers of
lnnds sold by bondaided rnilroads, but
ho says ho ueclliied to issuo pntonfcs to
all surveyed lands on tho application of
tho Central Pncifio.
Ho says : "Tlio representatives of tho
Central Pacific further contended that
their road is not iu default to tho gov
ernment, and that if it wero tho lands
nro not covered by tho government
mortgage and cannot bo held to socuro
tho sauio.
"1 do not agreo with either of thoso
etatonieutH. Tlio tables presented
clearly show that the Central Pacific
rnllroad'is in default to tho covernmont :
but whether so or not. it unquestinn
Ably will bo on Jan. 1 next, or about HO
days bonco, whou $3,l!ia,000 nddltionnl
of its indeiitodnesH, together with 30
years' inter -st thereon, will fnll duo
uud must bo redcomod by tho govern,
meiit.
"In answer to tlio contention that tho
ftoverninont lion Js not secured by tho
amis grant'd tho Control and Union
Pacific companies, section 5 of tho net
of 1802, provides that on tlio rofusal or
failure of a company to redeem its
bonds. or an; part thereof tlio secrotary
of the treasury may takp possession of
all lands which nt tho timo of said de
fault shall remain iu tho owuorship of
tho company.
"For Alio nbovo rcftsons I havo .de
clined to patont lands to tho Union
Pacifio rnilrnad ,or the Control Pacific
railroad, except in coses whoro it can bo
shown that he lands for which patents
nro asked havo boon sold to bona fide
purchasers. InaBiuuou ns tho subsidy
bonds issued by tho government ,to aid
in tho .const motion of thoso roads aro
falling duo 1 om timo to timo, and must
bo redeemed by the government ns thoy
maturo, whilo tho roads aro unablo to
xoimburso tho treasury for tho amount
to paid, aud tho further reason that a
bill is now pondiug iu congress, provid
ing for a funding of thifl indebtedness,
I doom it tho part of prudonco for this
dopartmont to rotain whutover of tho
property of tho roads it may havo iu its
possesion or iu its control until thoro
shall bo nn adjustment of tho amounts
duo tho government.
"In my judgment it itj much bettor
for tho government to accopt n lump
sum in cash for its claim against these
roads if, by doing so, that claim can bo
Bottled and tho connection between tho
government nnd tia only roads it has
ovor aided by direct subsidy bo olfcctu
fclly sov.orcd. Buch n solution of this
Voxeil QUOBtlou. would moot with tho
II
honrty approval of tlio people generally,
and relievo tho legislators aud nil
branches of tho governmont of a
troublesome problem nnd a trying re
sponsibility. With regard to the Nicaraguon Mnri
timo Canal company, chartered by tho
government iu 1889, tho secretary sayi
a preliminary report of tho company,
submitted to him, bIiowb thnt no work
was dono during tlio prosont year. In
conclusion tlio scciotary calls attention
to tho cramped quarters in tho intcrioi
department tho largo sum paid foi

year, and earnestly recommends the
erection of another structnro on a block

Washington, Dec. 5. Thcro aro now
qulto a number of senators who walked
out of tho Republican national conven
tion in tho city. Senators Cannon, Du
bois and Pettigrew nro hero, and met nt
tho Capitol, but discussed matters only
in a general way. There has been some
speculation ns to whether thoso former
Republican senators would attend future
Republican caucuses. Olio of them
when questioned said it would bo timo
enough for him to decido when ho was
invited to a caucus mid called attention
to tlio fact, that notices always are
served on Republican senators- that a
caucus is to bo held.
"Tho burden of determining our
standing in tlio party rests with those
who call tho caucus," ho said. .
"If wo nro nsked to participate wo
will then decido what to do."
Another sonntor said that ho would
not attend any caucus at present and
would await developments.
Senator Toller of Colorado and Sena
tor Mantle of Montana huvo not. vet
arrived and it is quitn probable thero
will bo no concerted action on tho part
of tho silver men until tho arrival of
tho former. Tho general impression of
tno silver senators is tnnt no important

Thorn is also nn impression thnt the

firofcr that nothing bo brought to an

BOLD KING- MENELEK.
HOW HE DROVE THE ITALIANS OUT
OF ABYSSINIA.
A Pnlmmnt Monarch Who Claim Decent
From Solomon tlio Wine Although n
Negro, Ho I No Savago His lloniantlo
niatorv-.
King Monolok of Abj-sMnla Is tho only
black rulor who over gained a doclslvo
and lasting victory over n whlto nation.
Tho story of how ho thoroughly whlppod
tho Italian nrmy which waa sent to tako
possession of his country has como to us
in driblets ovor tho en bio; but until ro
contly tho world know very littlo about
this negro potontatoof tlio heart of Africa
As may bo imagined, this Bwnrthy mon
arch Is no nrillnnry blaok. If his claims ot
ancient llnongo nro good, and If thoro is
anything in horodlty, ho is bettor fitted to
wear n crown than any othor rulor In tho
world, for ho assorts aud nnclont legends
of Abyssinia boar him nut In his nssortlon
thnt ho Is directly doscondod from tlio
groat King Solomon, Judrcn's wisest rulor.
Tho legoiul hns It thnt tho son who was
born to tho queon of Shobn nftor lior visit
to Solomon wns nnmed Monolok and wns
tho first rulor of Kthlopln to boar thnt tinmo.
Tho present Monolok Is tho socond. Ac
cording to tho tradition, tho first Monolok
wont to Jorusalom when ho was 25 years
old and was crowned king of Ethiopia In
Solomon's tumplo. His descendants form
ed tho long lino of kings who havo cvor
slnca sat on tho throno of Abyslnln. It Is
also claimed that tho quoon of Shobn
brought buck In her train tho flower of the
trlbo of .Tiu'ah, incorporating now blood
into her unth n and making it superior to
that of har neighbors both In brains and
phyelquo. It lsa plauslblo story and Is firm
ly hollo vod by tho Abyssinian?. It fits in
with biblical history ton, Ono thing Is cer
tain, and tlu.l Is thnt tho Abyssliilans uro
far superior to nil othor Africans nnd In
couquorlng tno Italians havo shown that
thoy aro ontltleu to a certain amount of ro
spect from whlto nations.
King Monolok, ulthough a negro, Is no
savngo. Ho Is of roynl pnrontngo, nnd
thoro is nn interesting romanco connected
with his birth. Whon King Hnoloti was
rulor of Shoa, ho wus told ono day thnt a
woman ot striking beauty was bogging nt
tho palace doors. Now Hnolou had nn eye
for protty women, nnd ho sont for her. Sho
proved to bo beautiful Indeed, nnd ho
promptly offorod her a placo In his hurom.
A boy was born to hor, but tho crafty
Hnolou snld ho would not recognlzohlm ns
his sou unless ho looked llko himself. For
tunately for tho boy ho grow up tho living
Imago of Iluelou, who colled him Monolok
and named hlin ns his successor.
No sooner had ho bccoiuo king of Slioa
than ho began to lay plans for becoming
ruler of all Abyssluln. As king of Shoa
KINO MENKLEK.
ho had becomo so rich mid powerful that it
is probnblo his plans woro suspected by
Emperor Theodore As a young man ha
hud qui to nn exciting tlmoof It In tho part
ho played in Abyssinian politics. Ho wns
alternately called to court and banished by
tho emperor, but whothor nt tho capital or
in rotlromont ho managed to lay plenty of
wires, so that whon tho timo camo, years
nftor, bo boenmo tlio successor of King
John, who had iu tlio inenutlma succeeded
Theodora ns emperor.
While thoso ovonts wero occurring ho
hnd managed to tako part In ns pretty a
littlo romanco ns could no found nny whoro.
Whilo ho was a prlnco ho had mot nnd
loved his protty cousin, Princess Tnotl,
whilo both woro in banishment. In tho
course of tho exciting ovonts which fol
lowed ho had lost sight of her. Tnotl wis
not lulo, and boforo sho mot Munolek
ngnin, which was not for n dozen years or
moro, sho had Incidentally inarriod no less
than fivo husbands, most of whom had
boon killed in various ways. Tnotl was a
grass widow of pronounced Btrlpo whon
she noxt met Monolok, who had becomo a
rich nnd powerful king. Ills old lovo was
rovived, mid ho welcomed Taotl with open

Cnptaln Alfred T. Mahan, who was
rocoutly placed on tho rotired list ot his
own rcquost, has received higher honors
abroad than nny othor officer in tho
United States navy. In tho library of
every vessel iu tho English navy may
bo found tho two volumes of Captain
Mohan's "Influence- of Sen Power. " Tho
United States government has also pur
llinsed a largo edition to bo similarly
distributed. This is tho best indication
of tho esteem iu which his works aro

Captain Mahan has hnd about 10

For many years ho was president of tho
naval war collego at Nowport, and it

on tho influcuco of son powor upou tho
history of tho world that ho conceived
tho idea of writing tlio work which lias

Professor William M. Sloano, who
leaves Princeton to take tlio Sctli Low
professorship of history iu Columbia
college, is perhaps most widely known
ns tho author of tho latest and most pop
ular history of tho eminent Corsican,
entitled "Tho Life of Napoleon." This
work jumps Professor Sloano nt ono
movo from tho compnrativo obscurity of
tho lecturo room to n rauk among tho
groat historians of our timo. Ho has
had a most excellent training for his
work, though, uud it was no freak of
chance which brought him to tho frout.
Professor Sloano was graduated from
Columbia collego in 1808, and nf forward
studied at Loipsio uud Berlin, receiving
from tlio former university tlio degree
of Ph. D. It wns while studying abroad
that ho met Georgo Bancroft, tho histo
rian, who was then United States min
ister to Germany. Professor Slonno net-

cd as secretary to Bancroft for soveral
years, mid thou returned to Amciicn to
becomo professor of Latin nt Princoton.
This chair ho hold from 187? to 1883,
when bo was transferred to tho profess
orshlp of history, which ho filled uutil
recently. In 1887 Columbia college con
ferred upon him tlio honornry degrco of
L. H. D. in recognition of his attain
ments ns n scholar and as nn author.
Although Professor Sioano's "Life of
Napoleon" was tlio first to givo promi
iionco to his talents as a writer of his
tory, ho had previously published an
other book, "Tho Frcuch War and tho
Revolution," iss.ucd iu tho American
History Serios. His troatmont of tho
thrilling story of tho rho nnd full of tho
"Littlo Corporal" is a fascinating otio,
