W ashington, Dec. 7.— The annual re
port ot Secretary of the Interior Francis
was made public today. It deals with
all the various branches of the intei tor
department during the past year, and
makes a number of important recom
mendations. It proposes a solution of
the vexed problem of the ton 1-aided
railroads, deals exhaustively with the
peusiou administration, reviews the
progress of the Dswt-s com iuisiion ne

matter« of especial significance in the

of the public domain. It show« the

the public domaiu »till vacant estim at
ed at 600,000,000, not iucludiug the
district of Alaska, with an artia of over
369,000,000 acres.
Secretary Francis urges upon O'in-
great the necessity for legislation for
reclamation and disposal of lauds w ith
in the and regions
Unless tbe Carey
act coaid be amended ao as to give the
state power to pledge lands for their
reclamation, he says, it would be bet
ter to place the lands under the direc-

be necessary t > secure their reclamati u

This ia due to the death of old a* 1-
