THE MANAGEMENT OF THE CENSUS Earner Miller's Mcaracua Canal Scheme Is Given a Boost KORHOXS ARE BEHAYIXG TERI WEU "WAsniXGTOX, Dec. 4. The annual re port of Secretary Koble to the President is an interesting document, covering -fully and in detail the operations of the Interior De partment. The volume of work accom plished during the present administration is shown to greatly exceed that of any like preceding period in the history of the de partment. The following extracts cover features or the most general interest: Tho policy of making forest reserves In the Western States and Territories lias been greatly advanced durlns the past year. Six such reserves have been created by Presl drntal proclamation, making an area of 3,252,S00 acres. This policy will be further carried into effect and will be most benefi cent and far-reachiiiK in Its results. The fc"cretary recommends that these forest preserves should receive protection from the army. Educational work among the Indians has been greatly increased and Improved in effi ciency. Thero has been an increase of over 13 per cent in attendance of children in tho scl.ools, the total for 1S92 beim: 19.793 schol ars. Kew Indian ic&eration boarding schools have been established during the lirceent administration, and -more aro in progress, v hich, it is anticipated, will be opened soon. Kon-reservatlo'i schools have BlbO been established and others have been planned. Strict discipline has been en forced and better education fostered. Under the policy of Indian allotments, negotiations with 11 tribes during the present administration lias resulted In the opening tip for public settlement or nearly 2G,000,000 acres of land. Other negotiations n Inch are pending, will, when ratified, add 10,000.000 acres more. Allotments or lands in M-veralty to the Indians have been made In verj lare numbers. "Wbat Was Done In the Census Offloe. The talcing or the census in 1S90 was recog nized at the beginning as a most important and difficult task, but it has been accom plished. The census publications have been received with favorable indorsement throughout the civilized nations, and the oik stands an acknowledged success and great scientific achievement. The first J ear the Census Office was en caged in the woik of organization, and pre paring ror the enumeration or tne people. Tne official count f tbe population was an nounced in four months after the comple tion ot the enumeration, and Congress was thus given a basis for a new apportionment nearly tnoyeuis sooner than under any pre vious een'-u. The population by minor civil divisions was given to Congress, com plete. In December, 183L The final report on mines and mining has befn made; prelim inary reports have been issued In agricult ure: tl e tabulation of the acicage and pro duction ot ceieal", the number and condi tions or the Indians, tbe statistics of churches and religious denominations and 0 educational statistics have been complet ed andieported. A mass of other statistics is now In pro cess of completion, and much of it is already in the hands ot the printer. With the ex ception or a small amount of work on vital statistics nnd population and the statistics a n amilactories and agriculture all the regular work o: the eleventh census is about complete. The larni mortgages report will be complete In about 12 months. Thn Secietarj states that the work of the Geologual Survey has been carried on with pieit efllcienc;. . In the topographic branch li8,000 square miles have been surveyed dur inir the past j ear. making a tota or 600,000 quaie miles sun eyed np to the present time. The Conduct of the Pension Office. It has beon the policy of the Tension Office, as Justice seemed to demand, to assign a larger portion of the official force upon original claims of those who were not re ceiling any pension, than upon increase claims, and it is believed that if this policy be continued lor two years longer the ad judication of tLo original claims of the office will be substantially completed and made current, and by that time tbe highest num ber of penslnneis ever to be borne on tbe rolls will have been placed there. Under the provisions of the act of June 27, 1-90, many claimants who wore seriously disabled and living upon charity, but who could not establish service as the origin ot disability , hav e been enabled to secuifc much needed assistance and financi.il roller. The results obtained tlirough this legislation, and the gi eat good it has done for the multi tude of worth claimants appears to have Justified expectations ot those who enacted it. The commissioner recommends tbe appointment of an actuary tocollate certain statistics lclativc to the question of the effect of armv service upon the expectation ot lives of soldieis and the probaule dura tion o: the pension roll which it is thought will be a valuable contribution to science. The estimato-v for the deficiency Jor this j ear aie $10,0,GS,and the et-timate for fiscal v car ending June JO, 1S94, is $105,000,000. This is based on caieful consideration of all the f actors entering into tbe auestion. t Under the direction of the Educational Bureau an effort Has been, made to pi opa gate leindeer in Alaska through a lund sub scribed by Individuals, and the experiment promises to move successful. The bureau lias issued bulletins lespecting former M orld's Fairs, the best metiiod of preparing educational exhibits, etc, for distribution. Utah, the Mormons and Polygamy. The Governor of Utah expresses his be lief in the good faith and honesty of pur pose of the Mormon leaders and the people, in their abandonment of polygamy, and their obedience to the laws of Cor.gi ess on this subject. The Utah Commission seems not to havo so much confidence in the motive which compels observance of the law. but to believe that it is simply a sus pension ot the practice, under the authority o; the Church, and that if it could be done 1 m hilly the authority of the Uiurch would again be recognized, as revoking the cessa tion or the practice 1'ut it is conceded that thero is, with exceptional cases, a gen eral lecognition mid observation ot the law and the declarations ot tbe officials of the Chuich, and the proclamation issued uudor authoilty or the Church, seem to indicate the tact that the Mormon people have con cluded to abandon forever the practice of jiolvgamj. An appeal has been made to tbe President for general amnesty tor all Mormons who are undei political disabilities by reason or violation ot tbe law against polygamy. The petition pledj.es the people and the Church in distinct terms to loyal observance or tbe law, and declares the devotion and loyalty or the peonle to the country and to the Gov ernment. One suggestive evidence of tne decreasing power of the Church Is the division ot the people upon national party lines in lecent elections. A system ol competitive examinations for promotion has been In operation in the de partment since January 1, 1892. under the 1'iesident's order ot December 4. 1891. The fj stem has worked well and has resulted in Feturing better and more faithful service on the part of employes. Many employes in the i ai ious bureaus of the department have been promoted under the system. As to tbe Nicaragua Canal Job. The progress of the work on the Nica ragua canal has continued during the past fear and some valuable feats of engineering have been accomplished, in the extension of the breakwater, and in the construction of tbe railroad across the swamp lands. Since the organization the company has ex pended for property, material and labor S15149 63 in cash, and $3,193,000 in lull paid stock, and Is obligated for $3,855,000 of the first mortgage bonds, which latter are held by the Nicaragua Canal Construction Com pany. , , The construction of tho breakwater, re ferred to in the-report ot one year a; , bus lLSulttd Jii tho opening up of the channel into the port of San Juan, which bad been co-ed for 30 years. The heaviest work on the wiiolo line will be at what is called East ci n Div ldc, where immense beds of rock are to bo romoved. The construction of tho railroad to this point lor the purpose of transporting tho requisite machinery was one of the most dtnicult leats of the enter- P' lsc- The Government of Nicaragua, by a com munication in November. 1890, has officially recognized and declared that the canal coin nan v has more than complied with the pro visions or the cession, and has thus formerly uckuowlodged and confirmed the company's title to tho concessionary riehts for a term ot ten v cats in which to complete the canal. The secretary expresses tho opinion that this euterprise is of the utmost Importance to tho wel'are oT our county In either peace or vii r, and should have nuost favorable recognition by Congress. Alaska is virtunllv I thou: an organized government. Ic i difficult to puaish perpe trators) of outrages, and smugglers infest tbe coast and drliauc'i the native'. The Secre tary recommend an approprlotion lor a steam .police vessel to run along the coast and among the Islands to which many luji tiv es escape. The Iteport of Hie Secretary of War. Secretary Elkins' report says the army has maintained throughout tho year its high standard or discipline, and efficiency. lie recommends a better organization of tbe infantry anil a reorguni. ulantof the artil lery. Ho favors the revival or the grade of Lieutenant General. While the enlisted personnel of tbe army Is, as a whole, very much better than at any time previous, much remains to bo accomplished in this connection before we enn rest entirely sat isfied. Every possible effort has been made to secure tho enlistment of doilrable men. The recruiting service- has been adminis tered with exceptional vuor and success. It Is believed that our Indian wars are about at an end. The necessitv of massing troopi In tbe West no longer exists. The importance ot maintaining and im proving the tnilltiri of the several States and tho District f Co umbla Js generally ad mitted. The National Guard is the rescrvo force of the nriuy. Attention is invited to the necessary appropriations lor arming and equipping tills reserve iorce. In 1S08 the approoriatlons lor the militia of the States was 200,tOU. The highly i'uproved arms and equipments of Jlie present day cost for the same number of men mn:o than treble what they did Vi years itgo. The pop ulation of the cnuutrj is many times what it was then, mid the demand for these equip ments has increased u.any times. An ap propiiatlon or onlv tivo times the amount appropriated in 1S3S can hardly be consid ered extravagant. The nlnns or the War Depai tment exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition areas nearly perfected as tiino and circuinstaucss will permit. All sections of tho proposed exhibit aro well in hand.
