of cotton and wheat have been low. It Is
one of the unfavorable incidents of agricul

The work of the interior department
is always very burdensome, and has
been larger than ever before during the
administration of Secretary Noble. The
disability pension law, the taking of the
eleventh census, the opening of vast
areas of Indian lands to settlement, the
' (ation of Oklahoma and the regn-
for the cession. Indian lands
furnish some of the particulars of the
increased work, and the results achiev
ed testify to the ability, fidelity and
industry of the head of the department
and his efficient assistants. The presi
dent seconds the endorsement of the
secretary of the interior to ratify the
Italy and Germany. . -
