It Is Demanded for the Indian by Secretary Hoke Smith.

A SUMMARY OF HIS ANNUAL REPOKT.

Uncle Sum Should Obtain for tlio Indian, In tlio 8»l« of LKIHIH, Every Dollar th« Laud Will firing-Operation* of the Interior Department.

"WASHINGTON. Nov. 80.—Secretary Hoke Smith hus transmitted to the president hi* Rnnuul report on the operations of the Interior Ueportaient. The secretary reviews the problem of offoctive work for the advancement of the Indinus. He says: "Tho work of lb«* Indian bureau beooraes more ImcroKtlnR as lb hotter understood. 118 task

In

that of developing a people no

lonjfnr savajje. but still far from otvlllzed. Into belnpK fit for American oltizeimhlpand capable of self-support. How can thin be accomplished in the most practical maimer? What slept will leud the most certainly in that direction? There ar« two means chiefly relied upon—education and allotment* of land In sovoralty. ••I do not question the advisability of allotling land to Indians In severalty, but I do most seriously question the propriety of tht* course before the Indians have progressed sufltclcnily to utiHzo the land when token. The allotments should be made to the Indians In severalty for the good of ilie Indians, for the advancement of the Indians, uot for the purpose of obtaining land connected with the Indian reservation to satisfy the Insatiable dosire of border men. who obtain it frequently nut for homes, but for speculation. "1 urge a treatment of Indian land based solely upon the purpose of realizing from It for it6 owners the highest possible value. If the members of a tribe have reached a state uftlelently civilized to be able to progress btil! further by selling a portion of their land, theu sale* should bo made but tho land should uot be purohased from the Indians at the best bargain the United States can make It should be sold for the Indians by the United states, the department acting as a faithful trustee and obtaining tor the Indians every dollar the land will bring. There are ample public luuds in the United States for homeseeker* enn we not be satisfied to allow to be administered in behalf of the Indians the little we have left them?

I recommend that the general allotment act be so amended as to Insure to any Indian who shall settle upon and improve a particular tract, under the direction of his agent, the permanent ownership of such tract by giving hicu a preference right to select it when allotments are made. Of course it would be neoesbary lo limit this right to the uuautlty of land allowed him under the allotment act.

Fduimtloi) of the Indians.

In connection with tho education of the Indians. the secretary says: "In the management of the Indian schools a definite plan for the Indian, vben school finished, must always be In view. If practical results aro expected from his education. The two lines of work open 'or Indians oan be classified a* being upon the reservation and in the cities and towns away from tho reservation. Education should be praotionlly directed with view to the probable future of the Indian. If he is t-o remain away from his former home and to enter the struggle of life In our cltics and towns, as any other citizen, then his education should be as broad and us liberal as possible, l.lut if ho is to return to the reservation, to the place of his birth, and to commence his active life in the development of tho resources of the reservation, then his education should be dlreoted especially with a view to tho life he will lead upon tho reservation and to the possibilities of the reservation itself. If the lands are agricultural, he should be taught the methods and mode of life followed by the ordinary American citizen engaged In agriculture.

In what I have said In regard to the future work of Indians upon their different reservations, I do not mean that they are to neglect the opportunity to beoome citizens. Even though the education of the young Indian is devoted to preparation for work upon the reservation, it should have also In view a preparation for separate responsibility and separate management of property, to the end that he should be fitted as soon as possible to munago his owu affairs free from the puternal care nf the department-

Contract Schools.

•The contract schools are now the subjcot of general discussion. 1 agree fully with those who oppose the use of public money for the support of sectarian schools. But this question should be considered practically. The sohoolfl have grown up. Money has been Invested In their construction at a time when they were recognized as wise instrumentalities for the accomplishment of good. 1 do not think it proper to allow the intense feeling of opposition to sectarian education, whloh is showing Itself all over the land, to induoo the department to disregard existing conditions. We need the schools now, or else we need a large appropriation to build schools to take their place. It would scarcely be just to abolish theiu entirely-—to abandon Instantly a polioy so long recognized. My own suggestion Is that they should be decreased at the rate of not less than SO per cent, a year. Thus, in a few years more, they would cease to exist, and during this time the bureau would gradually bo prepared to do without them, while they migrht gather strength to continue without government aid. This is the policy which Is now controlling the department, and unless it Is changed by legislation It- will be continued. Tho decrease In the appropriation for the present tlseal year is 20 per cent.

Mont I'rmerve Orrim*.

The secretary calls attention to the duty whloh rests upon the United States to preserve law and order throughout tho Indian territory where at present a state of lawlessness pre vails, and insists if the right to do so cannot, be obtained by agreement with the tribes it must be enforced as a mutter of duty without regard to tho wishes of those who control the tribes. He does not specifically reo ommend the organization of a new territory, but does urge that the courts in Arkansas and Texas be abandoned, and that the lurlsdlciion of the United States court bo extended over the territory without regard to elilzon*hip.

Sale of l.iquor to ImlltinH.

The secretary condemns in strong terms the establishment of saloons upon the line of Indian reservations and calls attention to the decision of Judge liellinger. of tho district of On-gt«n. to the effect that the sale of liquor to an Indian who has received his land in severalty is not in violation of law because by allotment he hus become acitr/.en. If this decision is light, it presents another argument iifnihst too speedy allotment of lands in severalty to Indians.

I'ubllo Lands.

The report shows that the public lands disposed of during the past fiscal year aggregate ii'4.72 acreB. It approximates the vacant lands ifmaininti at C0FT.040,818.71 acres, exelusive of Alaska, which contains 800.000,000 HITCH. and military and other reservations in,000.000 acres in round numbers are embraced in the lists of select ions by railroad and wagon road companies awaiting examination und settlement at the close of tho flsoal year. The aggregate selection of swamp lands since the passage of the uct of I&49 Is 80.450.159.51 acres. During the past year 138 16G 47 acres wore patented under this head. '1 he total cash receipts from the disposal of public lands amounted to 12.674.285 79 $91,981.08 were received for Indian lands Over 3ft.000 agricultural patents were issued, granting, approximately, 5.640.800 acrcs. Mineral, mill site and coal patents were issued to the number of 1.4U9. About 3,100 patents were Issued to Indians for allotments or selections in severalty, covering 101,986.34 acres, l'atcnts of all classes issued during the year covered ubout 7.700.000 acres, a decrease from the preceding year of over 2,000.000 acres.

I'roteetlou of Public Lands

Congress Is asked to make sufficient appropriations to employ at least one superintendent on each reserve and upon the larger reserves to provide a sufficient force of assistants to prevent public property from being wantonly destroyed. It is also pointed out that a luok of special tttfeuii

has prevented investigation of proposed forest reserves whloh would otherwise have been made. The importance of laying a foundation for a wise, comprehensive forestry system to be applied to tho limber upon the public lands and the forest reservations la again urged upon congress.

Favors a Land Court.

The secretary recommends that the commissioner of the general land office aud tho secretary of the interior be relieved from the duty of deciding these oases and that a nonpartisan court be created In oonnectlon with the general land office. The decision of this oourt is to be Anal, so far as the jurisdiction of the department is oonoerned It Is suggested that an appeal should be had In certain circumstances.

Tensions.

At the close of the fiscal year ending June to. 1894,969,644 pensioners wore borne upon the rolls, an inorease of 8,689 pensioners during the year. Of these. 16,610 pensioners are on account of Indian and other wars prior to the late war. and 16.489 widows, orphans and other dependent relatives. Uftderthe act of June 87, 1990, there are STB.084 pensioners and 94.2W. widows and orphans, it is interesting to note that nine widows and three daughters of veterans of the revolution constitute the pension roll for that war. Forty-five survivors of the war of IftlSconstltute the remnant of that list. The total amount expended for pension* during the past flsoal year was $189,804,461.05 leaving a balance from the appropriation in the trgusury of f86.S0K.7lS.66. Tho estimate for the flsoal year 1996 made by the commissioner •l4fl.000.000. The commissioner states thnt.tr his opinion, the year 1895, thirty voars aftei the close of the last war. must In the nature of thlugs see the highest limit of tho pensior roll which, therefore, must begin to decrease. The aggregate of persons added to the rolls during the year Is 89.088. and the total numbet dropped for all causes 87.951.

The Patent Office.

There were 92.646 patents granted, including reissues and designs, and 1.666 trado mark* registered during the past yoar. Tho nuinhei of patents whloh expired Is 18.107. The tola expenditures of the patent office amounted tc $1,058,962. The receipt* exoeeded the expenditures *129,560.

The Kleventh Oen«m.

The commissioner of labor in charge of the eleventh census, for the fiscal year ending June £0, 1894, states that the total disbursements on aooount of the eleventh census to that date amounted to $10,306,676.81. At the closo of the fiscal year the total uumber oi persons employed in the census office was 079 there are at the present writing aboat 400. The whole number of volumes necessary tc comprohend all tho facts gutliered at the eleventh census is twenty-five the estimated and actual printed pages of those volumes being 22.290

Other Topics.

The report treats at length of many more subjeots of minor Interest, amoug them be lot the bureau of education, publlo documents railroads, the territories, national parks and forest reserves, and various public institutions.

The secretary closes his report with recommendation for eu additional buildiug for tht interior department, as $362,0111 were paid out for rental of buildings in which several branches of the department have their office? located.

CHUM* of the Sl!(l«.

The length of tho strip which caved in is about 1.400 feet and the damage done extends bade in places 100 feet. The report that the catastrophe was caused by a tidal wave is apparently boru out by facts. The ground is all made. that Is filled in, and composed of loose rock, earth and debris of all kinds. This has never had anything to brace it or hold it in place and the recent heavy rains have undermined it, causing it to slide forward into the bay and carrying everything in its course along with it. This is the generally accepted theory as to the cause of the accident.

Snmll Craft llnM||et«r»

The whole frout at this point wai anchoring ground for what is oalled "the mosquito lleet," made up of small crafts. Many of these vessels have disappeared and thus far uo trace of them has been found. Many of these boats served as sleeping apartments for their owners, aud for this reason it is thought several lives have been lo*jt besides those mentioned.

A diver will at oncc commence to search for the missing property which lies at the bottom of the bay. Much freight, some of it perishable, was standing on the wharves and stored in the warehouses which collapsed. Some of this merchandise can be readily recovered, but much of It will prove a total loss. A small army of workmen are already at work moving freight and saving goodB which lie within reach. No bodies have yet been re covered. The estimated damage Is over 950,000.
