Washington, Die. 3. The first part of the report of the Secretary of tha Interior is devoted to the Indian question. A very c-v)LHderable improveTtent in th condition of the tribes ia claimed.and the Secretary renews jis recommendations ot last ear that the Indians be disarmed, the government purchasing their weapons. Concerning education of the Indians the report eaya: In my former report I rtred te cessity of the creation of a rermanent fund for the education ot Indians, and especially recommended that the net receipts of the sale of public lands be set apart fcr that purpose. I .igain urtre the ueeweity 61 some provision for a permanent fund, and ngain recommend that the net proceeds of the sale of public lands ieset apart for that purpose, if it, is cof-idered iesirHuIe to continue to dispose of the public laud in any other manner than tin ier tue provisions of the bomes-tead law. Attention ia asrain called to the persist ent attemots of Tayne find others t.i invade the Indian Territory for the purpose of settlement, and the Secretary recommends that a law be enacted adding mrnsonment to the fine now provider ?r tl.;s ;2c!i.e. Ieialation for -aiiiehms persons who unlawfully cut timber on Indian laDds in also recommended. The salaries paid Indian agents are con sidered inadequate, and an increase is recommended. (Joncernicg annuities and homesteads the Secretary says: Dnrinir the vear there has been paid to the Indians, in cash, about S'200,000, as inteiest or indebtedness tc them. The practice of paying cash to the Indians is pernicious one, tor, as a eener.il rale, the money is expended for useless, if not injurious articles, and ought to be diseordinned. The Commissioner ot In lieu Affairs recommends that a fund be placed at the dispopRl of the department to pay th es of homestead entries bv Indians. Jn his I heartily con en r. I think when an Indisn will pettle ou land, inteudiu to niflke it his home, he ought to be encouraged in so doiug. In referring to the Arizona Apaches nnd the campaign of Gen. Crook.the Secretary savs: In mv last report I called attentieu to th e annual raitis made by the Apaches i f Arizona. In April lust a rnniVr of the citizens of Arizona were killed,and a lare amount of property stolen or destroyed bv a band of Apaches that left the San CarloR Reservation in April, 1882, or be fore that time. In attempting to escape they passed into New Mexico, and billed Mr. AlcComas and wife and took their oung eon r.rieoner. The people of Ari zona were greatly excited over the mur der of their fellow citizens and the de struction of their property, and threatened to take vengear.ee on the Iidians on the reservation, claiming that the mur ders were committed by tbose'Indians. it is not at all surprising that the peo ple of Ariaona should have been excited over these outrages occurring each year with the regularity of the seasons and that in the excitement always attending an Indian raid they should contemplate holding the "whole tribe responsible for the acts of a comparatively small number of the tribe. There is nothing more terrible to a new settlement than an Indian raid. No one knows when the blow will fall, or where next the etealthy foe will appear. Iti-inot open warfare where every man has a fair Bhow with an antagonist; it is not war; it is assassination. In such raid the Indians are careful not to meet any considerable number of whites but they watch for the farmer at his work, the defenseless household or traveler on the highway. When the cm zens assemble, the Indian bides in the mountain until they disappear, and then he awaits his time to return and wreak his vengeance on the- unarmed and derenseiees citizens, regardless of age or eex. The Secretary then disensees the pur suit and capture of t 'e marauding Indi ans and as to their disposition concludes that "it doea not appear to bo the dntv oJ the Deportment of the Interior to determine whether theee offenders should be punished or not. At this time they are prisoners of war in the hands of the War Department. If possible they Bhould be removed from the agency to some point where there will ba lees danger of their escape, and where their evil influences will cot be felt by the more peaceably disposed of the tribe," THE OrVERAX LAND OFFICE The operations of the Land Offic are thus summarized: The report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office shows that the disposal of public lands under all acts ot Congress aggregates 19,430,032.80 aorea, of which amount o39,2rU,91 acres were Indian lanes end 1,999,335. 71 acres railroad sections under various acta of Conrri ... ... green, .mo rorsi Crtsn receipts m connection with the disposal of" tho' public lands amounted to S 11,713,833 70 ot which amount, ?62.t,404.27 whs on account of 11 . l.a V. 1- 1 -m iiieB&ieoi inaian lanas. ine mcresse in receipts for the vear 13 over that of the year 182 wss f 3,81 R,f?fi8.66, and over that of 1871, 8fl.305.073 .34: pre-emption and private ent-ies, 4,4f.5f!PS.43 nci-es; timber-culture entries, .3,H0,S30.3 iktc-; the number cf hnmwl" " r,. -led in the lasxi'"' , i ill !- J

The iicrence in the rn!"Vr of claims recorded in 1SR3 wns 55.549 over that of the yepr :S82, and over that ot the venr 1R81: th" nnmberof entries approved for patenting under various his, !V1.P47; an increase of 2j, 23!! over that of the 1B82. Pour thousand two hundred and eventy-four contested eases were ex: amined and actd npon during the flecal vear. The number of pre-emption cases undecided June 2a 11, was 12,542; sn increase of the number i.i arrears of 2.370 and 11,912 new ciees were received for action. A considerable amount ot timber land was sold at public sale, but no lnnd valuable for agricultural purposes ha1 been offered at public eale. The t amount of work done by the land office during the fiscal year can be seen from the foregoing summary. Th" Vwi0pioner p.gain reneVrs h's recommendation that the pre-emption law be repealed. Public land.-i suitable for agriculture should he disprwed of "uly b ti-e actual tttiW Uni.er )e nroe'fcead lawn. A

strict compliance with the law shctild be required in nil cases. No greater c i Jaunty can befall a countrv than to have U land owned by ft few, , end thn compel the tnn"?c o tb ppie to become the teiianta of such lind-owner. It has beea the policv of the government heretofore to distribute the public lmid among the people in such quantities as would enable all dexiring to nipnrre in RgrieuHnre to d" bc a" ' wt-uwuere, aod tot rcntern. As the country grows "tch the tendency it, to aggregate the hinds la tho hinds of a less number of people. Th's is nu evil wU'j which the generol governr.eut i rot csl'ed in deal after it has parted -with tho title to its Ian-', but as file owner of the public land held for th people of the TJrd'ed States, it becomes the duty of the govern n'ent to see that the laws intended to secure a fnir distribution of these lands are strictly enforced. TKK PF.NStON BrBEAC. The portion of the report referring to pensions and the payment thereof is given b fill:! The rejjovt ot. the Ooramipsioa-T of iVisions shows that at the close of the In Ft fiscal year there were ofS3,G58 pensioners classified as follows: Army ir.vnlids Army widow, minor c .19:,8 ildreti und dependent rp it'TKi Navy invalids Nav. widows, minor childreu and deudent r!rU've Purrirors of th wnr of 12 i'.t'i' l.iT ,6ai Widows of thoee who eervrd in the war of 21. There were added to tkS pension roll,, during the year the name of 3,162 hew pensioners, and 703 whose namee had been previously dropped from tha pension roll were restored, making the total number added to the roll during tha year 38,058, being an excess over the number ad led the previens year of 10,fi4o. During tha year 20,997 pensioners were dropped from the rolls for various causes, leaving tne net increase over the rods of 17.PG1. The number of persons dropped from the rolls included the names of those who have been carried on the rolls after death until final settlement and payment ot the amount duo such penBioters. The average aunual value of each pension at the clos of the vear is J510fS.1S.nnd t-a aggregate value of all pensions ie $32,-245,192.4-3, an increase over the vsl ie for the previous year of $2 904,091.81. The total amoupt paid cut for pensions during the yer wan ?G0.0f4,009.23. The excess ou the annual valu-3 of pensions is niiin'y.for arrears of pensions covering the peiiol prior to the allowance r f tha claim. The totil number of claims filed for disabilities incurred while iu the service amounts to 496,721. of which 2lo 210 have been allowed, and by widows on account of deaths chargeable to the fervie 312,0?9, of which2(T.71o have been allowed. The total nuraher of claims filod since ISfil is 8SP.,137. of which number 510,938 have been allowed. During the same period there has been paid for pen sions, with cost of disbursement, the sum of Sr21 07,3,297.60 The Commissioner savs: Of the whole numtter of arrav invalid claims filed from 18fd to 1S61 to 1865, both in.-lusive, reprf srtiting the first pe riod, five yeBrs. (while the war of the reIvllion was vet in progress), 86 7 per cent have been allowed: for the next five vrars to 1870, 88.8 per cent, have been allowed; for the next tive vears to 1875. 04.8 per crnt. have lieen allowed; the next tiye years, to 1880, which terminates the ar rears period, 39.4 have been allowed, and for the next period of three y ats to 1883 (to date 4.6 have been allowed: or of all claims of this class of a:mv invalids hied within the arrears period, (prior to July, 1880)54. i percent, have been allowed, and there are still pending 111,7.30 army invalid claims at the close of the preeeut yer. The Dumber of easa appealed ftom the Commissioner of Pensions to the Secreta ry during the past year is 746. Theee esses involve much labor and attention ou the part of the Secretary and his assistants. The Commissioner reports that the system, of special examination in the field is of grent importance both to the office and to the claimants and that resu'ts obtained through it have been satisfactory. I he passage or to arrears of pension act of March 3, 1879, caused the filing of a large number ot additional claims by parties who did not before that tine con sider the amount to bw paid sufficient to compensate them for the trouble or 8iv noyance of securing a tension. A great number of persons have established pen sion agencies so called, for the procuring or pensions an ft it, has beeu ascertained that a number of them have resorted to various devices and tricks o induce the soldier or depend nt relative to apply for a pension Uircnlars have been sent out advising the soldier that a large amount had been appropriated, and that all eoldiers would receive pensions who should apply, and various methods have been pursutd to induce the applicants to pay the fee or a part of it, the office has been embarrassed by such proceedings aui, in many cpses the soldiers have been ewin died by paying fees to parties who well knew the soldier was not eu'ttled to pension. Evidence collected has been withheld by such pensioa agents or at torneys until the soldier would pay them a fee. A number of persons detected in such evil practices have bceD suspended and disbaned from practicing before the department of the Interior. The evil complained of is one of considerable mag' nitude, and Congress should provide by suitable legislation for their punishment. Payments are made to pensioners ouca in three months, very many pensioners are wholly dependent on the amount re ceived from the government for tbeirsunport. The amount pni 1 is generally so small that it is exhausted before the next pay-day, and the pensioners resort to the money lender to secure a small loan at exorbitant rates, to ba paid nt the next pay-day. lu most cases th interest e acted is from 5 to 20 per cent, per month Congrees having nrnbilvited the un certificates as security fSr monev loaned, the lender has no security, and makes that the excuse for extorting such con riruMr inienjsi irjnrTiiH Eeotiy borrower.

THE TOSTAL SERVICE. Extracts from the Annual Report of Postmaster-General Gresham. The report of I'ostmast. r-Ocnral O-refiham opens with a t'rief tribute to he memory of his predecessor, the late Timothy O. Howe, which is followed by the financial statement ot the operations of the department for the fiscal venr en 1ed June 30, 1883. The estimated surplus of reverie over estimated total cost rf the service for the rear is Sl,0"l,281 8.3. The reprt stutes that nnnsunl difMcnl y is experienced in forecasting the ptal revennes by reason of the recent reduction in pos'pge. 3. he total number of employes in the service- is C9.020. The free delivers svsem is i i operation iu 154 iifies and the number of carriers was ",C,HiY T ie to' al cost cf this service was S.3,174 .3.16.51.

Attention is directed to gross ineounhties in expenditures for cloik hire, as compared with receipts, in a number of the larger office. A comparison of fig ures shows a variation of more than 11 percent. The Ptma::ter-generrd d'rec's a general revision of the allowances fi r clerk hire, with a view to nip.k'ni? reduc tions, wthont impairing the ethcieiicy of the serviceOne thousand nine hundred and fi'tvfonr claims of postmasters for reimbursement for losses by burglary, ti-e and other unavoidable oasualry.were filed during the venr. Of these 825 were discos d of; 4 were rfllowetl amounting to ?4.211.45. One hundred and ighty-t wo claim-) wer. disallowed, and 3(59 were abn loped or withdrawn. The Postmsster-geueral discusses the coat of railway service, and says the relations between the government and the companies owning the enbsi lized Pacific roads ara unsettled and unsatisfactory. Of railway postal clerks he says that during the year there were 114 oasnrlitios, in which one clerk was killed, thirty five seriously injured and forty two rligbtly injured. I renew the recommcnaation of my predecessors, that tho PostmRtergeneral lie anthorijse.1 ti pay the wid w or the guardian of the minor children of a railwav postal clerk who is killed in the service sum eonal to one year's salary ot the grade which he held at the h e of hie death." The report disonRFes the subi-ct of foreism mails and ocen service at some lencth, an! urges the importance of frequent, regular and rapid mad commnni cation with Central and Bonth America, the Australian colonies, and the popuions oouninee or eaarern Asia. tie savs "after careful at moderation, I am of opinion that the unit of weight for rating first class roitter should be changed from one-halt an ounce to one ounce. This change, iD connection with the recent reduction of letter postnge from three to two cents, would placet bin conntry on an equality with any other iu re spect ol chearj postage. Great Britain maintains . more liberal unit of weight for rating letters and packages than we do." The Poetmaator-general refers at some length to the contest with the Louisiana Lottery Company, and makes the following recommendations: T recommend, as iu keeping with our legislation, and with a view to render it more efficacious, the passage of an act providing that every newspaper which contair s an advertisement of a lottery, or any bi euey thereof, shall b excluded from tho mails, and rendering the person depfiting it in thj mail liable to the peualitit a which, under erieting laws, he inonrs fr so depositing a letter or circnlar oopcxing lotteries.
