Evidence is accumulating that the AI

proclaim a -general holiday commemor

covery of America on October 12, 1892.
James E. Young has been acquitted
by the corps of Washington correspond
ents of the charge upon which the Sen
ate dismissed him from the position of
executive clerk. Young's removal from
office carried with it the imputation he
had communicated to newspaper corre
spondents information about the trans
actions of the Senate while in executive
session.
Attorney F. A. Orr of 8arJ Francisco
was at the State Department recently,
and had an audience with Solicitor Part
ridge in regard to the claims of the sail
ors of the cruiser Baltimore against the
Chilian government for damages by the
assault upon them in Valparaiso last
October. He was informed the claims
bad been brought to the attention of the
Chilian government by United States
Minister Egan. The claims number
thirty-eight, and amount to more than
2,000,000.
A bulletin just issued by the census
bureau shows the assessed valuation of
all property in the United States in 1890.
except the railroad property, increased
from $18,902,993,543 in 1880 to $24,651,
65?,565 in 1H90, an increase during the
decade of $7,718,591,922 or 45.84 percent.
Should the same relations be found to
exist between the assessed valuation in
1860 and the valuation as it existed in
1890 the absolute wealth of the United
States may be estimated at $64,648,000.-
000 or more than $1,000 per capita, as
against $514 in 1860, $780 in 1870 and
$870 in 1880.
Representative Hermann has been
before the Committee on Public
Lands regarding hia resolution of in
quiry as to the action of the Interior
Department in rejecting various contests
in swamp-land claims in Eastern Oregon .
which bad been previously authorized
by the department, and at Mr. Her
mann's request final approval of selec j
tions baa been suspended until the rieht
of settlers to continue their contests
shall be inquired into by Congress or al
lowed by the department. These lands
are chiefly in the Harney Valley land
district. Mr. Hermann is receiving a
large number ot petitions irom people
settled on the lands, who ask for the
right of a bearing in the land office.
Representative Wilson, who is a mem
ber of the Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads, made a strong speech againat
the arbitrary cutting down of the appro
priations for postoflice facilities, and by
abundant statistics showed how the serv
ice would surely be cr in Died unless the
government increased the amount appro
priated to a reasonable figure. Wilson
has had an opportunity to see how lac It i
of funds in the Postoffice Department
has prevented the development of the
mail facilities in his State, and his talk j
was in the direction of securing better
facilities and larger distribution of mail
routes throughout the West and so bring
the mail services in this rapidly develop
ing country up uj pomeming nae wuai
is afforded in the East. But all the talk
a man might do in this Congress in that
line would be of no avail, as parsimony
is the watchword of the hour.
Representative Hermann has been en
deavoring to hasten the work of opening
the Hiiets Indian reservation to settle
ment. Officers of the department stated
recently the allotments will be completed
soon, not later than this summer, when
negotiations will at once commence for
the release of the surplus lands to set
tlement. This reservation contains 225,-
000 acres, and there are about 560 Indi
ans to whom allotments are being made,
in addition to which the btate becomes
entitled to about twenty-two Bchool sec
tions. There will remain a surplus of
about 162,4 )0 acres for settlers. Mr.
Hermann stated to the Secretary that
this surplus is capable of sustaining a
large body of people, and that many of
his constituents are anxious for the early
adjustment of allotments and the subse
quent proceedings that people seeking
homes in his State may have this further
opportunity to acquire them. -
It is officially stated acceptance has
