Secretary Soble has sent the following telegram to Governor Steele of Okla homa in reply to a dispatch inquiring as to the time and conditions for opening to settlement the Indian lands in Okla homa Territory : "There is nodavset for opening the Indian lands. The Pres ident has not been consulted, ana ne win have to determine. 1 have requested sufficient force to protect Indian lands nnul opened. X am sure tne people win understand that they cannot go npon these lands until all conditions with the Indians are complied with and the proc lamation issued. The law-aoiding ciu sens will be protected so far as my au thority goes, and those disobeying the law and committing trespasses snau gain nothing thereby, but rather incur loss. Please keep me advised." The census bureau has issued a bulle tin on the assessed valuation of the real and personal property of the several States and Territories. Tbe bulletin snows that the assessed value of all prop erty has increased in the last decade (7.344.5H7.261. Illinois shows an appar ent decrease of .iil,200,000, because the State Board of Equalization declares the assessed value to be at 50 per cent., and in 18UV onlr 25 per cent, of the true value. Among tbe States showing in crease are the following: California, Hi,524.UO0; Idaho.

Williams, who went to Seal Island three months ago as a spe cial agent of the government, has just retnrned to Washington. He said that despite the presence of nearly a dozen American and tnelisn men-oi-war in and around Bebring Sea illicit sealing was being carried on extensively. Pre vailing fogs in the sea made it easy for fust-sailing schooners to elude pursuit, and Williams is of the opinion that the illeeal catch for the present season will number 2d,000 seals. Of the 7,600 skins allowed privilege holders this year 6.300 cauirht by natives for food have already passed into tne handset tne nonii Amer ican Commercial Company. This leaves only 1.2W seals to be captured between now and May 1 of next year; ana, as that number will not supply the Aleuts on tbe Islands of St. Paul and St. George with food, the Commercial Company will have to keep the natives from starving. Williams is of the opinion that a couple of years' protection to seals is necessary in order to keep them from being exter minated. CABLEGRAMS.
