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.

completed of approximately on«-fourth
of the area of the entire eoucitry, ex
clusive of Alaska. The field survey*
of Irklian territory were completed last
June. This latter work has demon
strated chat it is more economical to
survey large areas in this manner than
under the contract system heretofore
employed by the government In it* land
subdivision surveys. 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 total mim'ber of school pupils in
the eouffitry In elementary public and
private schools, colleges, universities,
high schools and academies is put frt
16,255,093.
ALASKAN AFFAIRS.
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.

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,

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. Water pipes provided with such
insertion withstood a cold teat of 40 degrees

vided with it bursi every time.— Philadelphia

POKER RUINS BANK
GAME THAT BROUGHT DISASTER
«"O AS INSTITUTION
I AT RESO
JOHN LOVE'S LUCKY PLAY
An Instance In Which Four Aces
Were Good Collateral— Banker
Wno Furnished Fonda to the
Loser Forced Out of Business— —
Cards Marked While the Money
Was Being Secured All In Cash.
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

piece end rose and looked fai a glos«
to see If possible how much enlarged
It was. 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
