Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each month, which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month, where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such catalogue shall be printed in pam- phlet form for distribution. Sales of Public Documents Section 61 of the same act provides as follows : The Superintendent of Documents so designated and appointed is hereby author ized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one copy of any docu- ment shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which additional co]Hes are desired for separate departments thereof, and members of Congress; and whenever any officer of the Government having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them under the provisions of this section. In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where piiblications are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. Many of those upon which a price has been put are furnished gratuitously by the Departments publishing them. A list of the offices where the various documents are obtainable appears at the end of the Catalogue. When the law becomes fully operative, all current documents and many old ones will be for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, but thvis far only a small part of those described in this Catalogiie have come into his custody.

It is especially desired that omissions be promptly pointed out, in order that the missing titles may be printed in the next monthly issue. There are about one hundred and twenty Departments, bureaus, and] offices of the Government that publish the public documents of the United States, and even with the courteous cooperation that has been almost uniformlj^ extended to me it is a task of some magnitude to gather all the publications from so many sources. If the task had been completely accomplished, and there were absolutely no omissions from the first Monthly Catalogue, it would be almost miraculous. As this is not the age of miracles, some omissions will doubtless be detected, but I am hopeful that they will be neither numerous nor important. When the ari-ears of work under the pressure of which this new office begins its operations shall have been overtaken, and it shall thus have become jiossible to publish the Monthly Catalogue immediately on the heels of the current issues for each month, it is confidently believed that omissions of titles will be exceedingly rare. Criticism, and even censure, of the arrangement of the Monthly Catalogue is expected. It is probable that most librarians ^vill say it should have followed the lines of a strictly scientific "dictionary- catalogiie." The departure from those lines has been deliberately and purposely made. It is considered that the Monthly Catalogue is an ephemeral publication, not intended primarily for the use of libra- rians. It is the chief medium this office will have for reaching the general public, to whom hereafter all the Government publications are to be offered for sale at the cost of paper, presswork, and bind- ing, the large item of typesetting being by law excluded when the price of public documents is fixed. The arrangement adopted for the Catalogue is that which it was thought will be most intelligible and convenient to the manufacturer, statistician, farmer, attorney, legis- lator, and business man — the classes which, in increasing niimbers, are seeking to make practical use of the scientific research and the statis- tical collection and collation whose results are recorded in the piiblic y documents. It has been assumed that in a majority of cases the searcher for information in the Monthly Catalogue will have an idea 8^06 4 DOCUMENT CATALOGUE January as to which biireau, or at least which Department, has in charge the particular class of information for which he is seeking, and that an arrangement by Departments and bureaus will therefore serve the convenience of the greatest number. It was not thought necessary particularly to consult the convenience of librarians in the form of the Monthly Catalogue. Their trained skill will enable them readily to find what they desire in a list of this sort, so small in dimensions, without appreciable inconvenience. For the use of librarians the Monthly Catalogue will be practically siiperseded by the Annual Catalogue (or "comprehensive index"), which this office is directed to prepare on a plan approved by the Joint Committee on Printing and publish at the close of each session of Congress. To that publication considerations of a different nature from those which have been consulted in preparing the Monthly Cata- logue will apply. It will be a permanent record, preserved in all the important libraries of the United States, and depended on as the key to the ofllcial history of the country, which without it would remain locked up in the public documents — almost inaccessible. Such a record should be prepared according to the most approved rules of bibliographical science. The task should be intrusted only to those highly trained and long experienced in cataloguing work. These con- siderations have been and will be kept in mind in preparing the Annual Catalogue, and those librarians who see in the Monthly Cata- logue herewith presented only a "list," and not a catalogue in the scientific sense, will not thei'efore be justified in assuming that the forthcoming Annual Catalogue to be prepared by this office will be of a like popular and unscientific character. It is intended that the Monthly Catalogues for February, March, and the succeeding months of the current calendar year shall follow each other in rapid succession, so that before the opening of the next session of Congress the publication will have become current. Every effort will thereafter be made to issue it with regularity at the beginning of each month. F. A. Crandall, Superintendent of Documents Government Printing Office, Washington, D.

All the publications of the Fifty-third ' Congress will be fully catalogued in the Annual Catalogue, or so-called "comprehensive index," to be issued from this office later in the year, and all the publications of the Fifty-fourth Congress will be recorded in the several Monthly Catalogues to be issued during the sessions of that Congress.

It will, however, be some time before this expectation can be entirely realized. At present the State Department sells the Statute Laws, and the Bureau of Anieriean Republics, attached to the State Department, sells its own publications. The Treasury Department sells the Catalogue of Copyrights, the Monthly Statements of Finance, Commerce, and Immigration by the Bureaii of Statistics, and the xjublications of the Coast and Geo- detic Survey. The War Department sells the Rebellion Record. The Post-Office Department sells the Postal Guide and the post- route maps. The Navy Department sells the Naval War Records and the publi- cations of the Nautical Almanac Office and the Hydrographic Office. The Interior Department sells the numerous piTblications of the Census Office and the Patent Office; the Decisions and the maps of the Land Office; the reports, maps, monographs, and bulletins of the Geological Survey, and the Decisions of the Pension Office. The Government Printing Office sells the Congressional Record; the set of State Constitutions and Colonial Charters; Poore's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; the reports of the Fish Com- mission; the reports on the Paris Exposition: the Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office; the Polaris Arctic Expedi- tion; Hall's Arctic Expedition; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other powers, 1776-1887; second and third annual reports of the Geological Survey: Fishing Industries of the United States, 5 volumes; Report of Silver Commission, 1876; International Monetary Conference, 1881; and United States Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery Drill Regulations. All other Govermnent publications, including the long and impor- tant list of the Agricultural Department, are issued for gratuitous distribution. Catalogue of Publications Issued by the Government of the United States during the month of February, 1895 Prepared by the Superintendent of Documents Government Printing Office Washington Government Printing Office 189S DOCUMENT CATALOGUE February Authority for Publication This monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the provisions of section 69 of an act of Congress providing for the Public .Printing and Binding and the Distribution of Public Documents, approved January 12, 1895. Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared by the Siiperintendent of Documents on the first day of each month, which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month, where obtainable, and the Xu-ice thereof. Two thousand copies of such catalogue shall be printed in pam- phlet form for distribution. Sales of Public Documents Section 61 of the same Act provides as follows: The Superintendent of Documents so designated and appointed is hereby author- ized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribiition of which is not heroin specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one copy of any docu- ment shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which adrlitibnal copies are desired for separate departments thereof, and members of Congress: and whenever any officer of the Government having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authf)i'i/.fd to turn them over to the Superintendent of Dociiments, who shall receive and sell them under the provisions of this section. In accordance with the provisions of this section, prices are fixed on the docii- ments named in the Catalogue. In those cases where publications are ofl:'ered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. In all cases these prices call for paper or cloth covers. For sheep binding the price will be increased from 7.3c. to SI. 15 per volume for octavos and SI. 50 for quartos. For half turkey binding the cost is Sl-00 a volume. Many of the documents upon which a price has been put in the Catalogue are furnished gratuitously by the Departments publishing them. A list of the offices where the various documents are obtainable appears at the end of the Catalogue. When the law becomes fully operative, all cui-rent documents and many old ones will be for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, but thus far only a small part of those described in this Catalogue have come into his custody.

It will, however, be some time before this expectation can be entirelj- realized. At present the State Department sells the Statute Laws, and the Bvireau of American Republics, attached to the State Department, sells its own publications. The Treasury Department sells the Catalogiie of CopjTights. the Monthly Statements of Finance. Commerce, and Immigration from the Bureau of Statistics, and the publications of the Coast and Geo- detic Sui'vey. The War Department sells the Rebellion Record. The Post-Office Department sells the po.st-route maps. The Navy Department sells the ISTaval War Record and the publi- cations of the Nautical Almanac Office and the Hydrographic Office. The Interior Department sells the numerous publications of the Census Office and the Patent Office; the Decisions and maps of the Land Office: the reports, maps, monographs, and bulletins of the Geological Survey, and the Decisions of the Pension Office. The Government Printing Office sells the Congi-essional Record; the set of State Constitutions and Colonial Charters; Poor's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; the reports of the Fish Com- mission; the reports on the Paris Exposition; the Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office; the Polaris Arctic Exjiedi- tion: Hall's Arctic Expedition; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other powers, 1776-1887; second and third annual reports of the Geological Survey; Fishing Industries of the United States. 5 A-olumes; Report of Silver Commission. 1876; International Monetary Conference, 1881; and L'nited States Infantry.

O Catalogue of Publications issued by the Government of the United States during the month of March, 1895 Prepared by the Superintendent of Documents Government Printing OflQce "Washington Government Printing Office 189S DOCUMENT CATALOGUE March Authority for Publication This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the provisions of section 69 of an act of Congress providing for the Public Printing and Binding and the Distribiition of Public Documents, approved January 12. 1895. Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each month, which shall'show the documents iirinted during the preceding month, where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such catalogue shall be printed in pam- phlet form for distribution. Sales of Public Documents Section 61 of the same act provides as follows: The Superintendent of Documents so designated and appointed is hereby author- ized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one copy of any docu- ment shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate departments thereof, and members of Congress; and whenever any officer of the Government having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them under the provisions of this section. In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where piiblications are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. In all cases these prices call for paper or cloth (jovers. For sheep binding the price will be increased from 7.5c to §1.15 for octavos and S1.50 for quartos. For half turkey binding the cost is Sl-OO a volume. Many of the documents upon which a price has been put in the Catalogue are furnished gratiiitously by the Departments publishing them. A list of the offices where the various documents are obtainable ajspears at the end of the Catalogue. When the law becomes fully operative, all current documents and many old ones will be for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, but thus far only a small part of those described in this Catalogue have come into his custody.

Lands formerly embraced in Fort Assiniboine Military Reservation, and subsequently excluded therefrom by executive order, and also included within Indian lands ceded under agreement ratified by act of May 1,1888, are not disposable under third section of said act, but under act of July 5, 1884, as part of abandoned military reservation. Abandoned military reservations. Instructions. (Vol. 20, p. 308. ) In disposal of lands in abandoned military reservations, under act of Aug. 33, 1894, the time fixed for installment xiayments authorized by said act, and the interest thereon, should be uniform tor all reservations opened to settle- ment under said act. Additional homestead. Case of Horace J. Jackett. (Vol. 20, p. 360.) Additional homestead entry under act of Mar. 3. 1889, is limited in acre- age to an amount which, added to the quantity previously entered, .shall not exceed 160 acres. Application for leave of absence. Case of Walter E. Quaife. (Vol. 20, p. 340. ) Application for leave of absence will not be granted if it does not affirma- tively appear that the applicant has shown good faith in residence upon and cultivation of land vip to date of application . Application to enter: appeal from rejection. Gallagher r. Jackson. (Vol. 20, p. 389.) Application to enter land covered by existing entry of anothei' confers no right upon the applicant : but application to enter improperly rejected at the time protects the rights of applicant against claims of others, if he appeals from such rejection. Basis of patent ; official record. Case of John R. Maxwell. (Vol. 20, p. 330.) Application for patent based on alleged ])urchase of tract will not be granted, where, owing to war of 1861, there is no official record. Burns, G. A., et al. Motion for review denied. (Vol. 20, p. 295.) Cameron v. Kline. Motion for review denied. (Vol. 20, p. 317.) Certiorari ; rule 85 of practice : party in interest. Case of Henry D. Emerson. (Vol. 20, p. 287.) Rule 85 of practice provides for a period of suspension of the Commission- er's decision in cases where right of appeal is denied, but is no limitation on power of Secretary to gi-ant application for certiorari, even though it is not filed within said period. Application for certiorari will be denied where it appears that applicant is not a claimant for the land involved under any of the public land laws. 12 Coal-land entry ; adverse claim ; final proof . Broad r. Ray. (Vol.20, p. 422.) Possessory claim under coal-land act must be maintained and asserted in good faith and for iise and benefit of claimant only, to entitle him to be heard in his own right as against the application of another. Final proof and payment on coal-land claim must be offered within one year after expiration of time allowed for filing declaratory statement. Commuted homestead entry; equitable action. Case of Francis A. Lockwood. (Vol. 20, p. 361.) Board of equitable adjudication has no authority to waive requirement of statute that permits commutation of a homestead only after period of four- teen months' residence and cultivation from date of entry, and confirm entry allowed in contravention of said statutory requirement. Confirmation. Castello v. Bonnie (review). (Vol. 20, p. 311.) Where entry has been canceled without due notice thereof to entryman or his transferee, and land covered thereby entered by another prior to act of Mar. 3. 1891, and said transferee invokes confirmatory provisions of section 7 thereof, claim of intervening entryman is subject only to right of said trans- feree to show that entry under which he claims was improperly canceled. Confirmation; mortgage. United States v. Cooper et al. (Vol. 20, p. 403.) Mortgagee is not entitled to invoke confirmatory provisions of section 7, act of Mar. 3, 1891, as an innocent incumbrancer, where at date of incumbrance records disclo.se the fact that entryman had disposed of land covered by his claim prior to submission of final proof and payment of purchase price. Conflicting settlement rights; notice. O'Toole v. Spicer. (Vol. 20, p. 392.) The fact that land is subdivided into 40-acre tracts does not operate to con- fine settlement right to subdivision on which settlement is actually made; but notice of settlement right, as given by improvements, is limited to quarter section on which improvements are situated. Where two claimants settle simultaneously, and place improvements on the same 40-acre subdivision, the tract may be awarded to the highest bidder. Contest: hearing; settlement right. Somers i\ Heuer (review). (Vol. 20, p. 317.) Irregular action of local office in ordering hearing should not be permitted to defeat right of settler to show facts with respect to his claim. Contest; relinquishment; second contest. Westenhaver i\ Dodds. (Vol. 20, p. 365.) Relinquishment that conforms to requirements of act of May 14, 1880, should be filed on presentation, and entry canceled. Ruling that does not permit relinquishment, filed after initiation of contest, but prior to notice, to defeat right of contestant to proceed against entry, is not applicable to a second contest filed subject to disposition of pending suit. Crow Indian lands; price of land. Case of Andrew J. Torreyson. (Vol. 20, p. 399.) Price of all lands formerly embraced within Crow Indian Reservation, to which title was secured by Government under agreement of Dec. 8, 1890, is fixed at $1.50 per acre. Last proviso in section 34 of act of Mar. 3, 1891, respecting disposition of cer- tain of these lands, contemplates confirmation of settlement claims otherwise invalid, but is not intended to excuse such settlers from payment required fi'om others. 13 Desert-land contest; suspended entry. Farnellet al. r. Brown. (Vol. 20, p. 324.) Suspended entry does not run during period of suspension, but does run from its date to suspension, and then again, as if without interruption, from date of order revoking suspension to expiration of term. Desert-land entry; price of land. Case of Kate G. Organ. (Vol.20, p. 406.) Provisions of section 7 of act of Mar. 3, 1891, fixing price of desert lands at SI. 2.5 per acre, are applicable to desert entry made prior to pa.s.sage of said act, but not perfected until after. Desert-land entry; saline land. Jeremy & Co. r. Thompson et al. (Vol. 20, p. 299.) Desert-land entry will not be allowed of land chiefly for saline deposits thereon, and practically not susceptible of reclamation on account of saline character. Entry in two land districts; suspended township. Case of Lemiiel L. Squires. (Vol. 20, p. 412.; Where homesteader applies to enter land situated in two land districts, and flies simultaneously in each district application for specific subdivision lying within said land district, and one of .said applications is allowed and the other rejected ou account of suspension of township, the rejected application may be revived and allowed as of original date, on the removal of the sus- pension, and where it appears that applicant has remained in possession of land and no adverse claim exists. Extension of time for payment; cases made special. Case of Parker V.Brown. (Vol. 20, p. 323.) In applications for extension of time for payment under joint resolution of Sept. 30, 1890. cases should be treated as special, to the end that .smallest pos- sible time may elapse from date of application to final judgment. Extension of time for payment; good faith. Case of WUliam C. Bro^vn. (Vol. 20. p. 378.) Extension of time for payment may be granted on showing of failure of crops for which entryman is not responsible. On showing to procure such extension good faith of applicant is not impugned by fact of having cultivated land other than his own in order to secure means for purchase of claim. Forest reservation; executive order; school indemnity. Appeal by State of California. (Vol. 20, p. 327.) Secretary of Interior may direct the withdrawal of land f r om disposal in order to preserve sequoias or other large trees growing thereon, and where land so withdrawn is unsurveyed and includes a school section, indemnity may lie allowed State. Homestead application; residence: improvements. Abbott v. Kelley. (Vol. 20, p. 295.) Pending determination on appeal of right to make homestead entry, appli cant is not required to make settlement and improvement where his claim rests on his application. Homestead entryman is not in default in matters of residence and improve- ments where land is covered by prior uncanceled homestead entry of another who is in possession. 14 Homestead contest; leave of absence; improvements. Quein v, Lewis. (Vol. 20. p. 319.) Leave of absence, regularly granted by local office and not disapproved by General Land Office, serves to protect settler vrhile in effect and his absence therennder does not afford ground for presumption against his good faith. Allegation to effect that evidence on which leave of absence was obtained is false and fraudulent must be aflflrmatively established to warrant favor- able action thereon. Failure of homesteader to make a living on his land is not necessarily evi dence of lack of good faith. Homestead law does not define character or value of improvements required at hands of settler. Homestead entry; adverse town-site claim. Pope v. Town site of Bossko. (Vol. 20, p. 367.) Town-site claim set up to defeat homestead entry will not be held sufficient to reserve land from appropriation under the homestead law when the land was not occupied for town-site purposes at inception of homestead right and has not been so occixpied sulisequent thereto. Homestead entry; final proof; protest; contest; practice. Gray t\ Dawkins. (Tol. 20, p. 342. ) The fact that a party styles his adverse proceeding against a homestead entry at the time of final proof thereon a " protest " will not defeat his right as a contestant where he files at such time a corroborated charge, pays the costs, and claims preferred right under act of May 14. 1880 ; nor can entryman in such case defeat said proceedings by withdrawal of final proof. Where, on application for continuance, on ground of absent witnesses, adver.se party admits that said witnesses, if present, would " testify to the statement set out," the applicant is not prejudiced by denial of application. There is no law or rule of the Department that warrants local officers in extending time for taking final proof beyond ten days from time set in the advertisement. Homestead entry ; Indian reservation. Case of Nathaniel J. Hum- phrey. (Vol. 20, p. 414.) Homestead entry of land included within an executive order directing survey for purpose of establishing Indian reservation may stand where the subsequent order creating said reservation omits land .so entered. Homestead entry; village occupancy: confirmation. Case of Fran- cisco Mirabal. (Vol. 20, p. 346.) Occupancy of a small portion of a subdivision of public land, iinder foi'm of a Mexican village settlement, will not operate to except the tract from homestead entry if land so occupied is not used for purposes of trade and business and no claim thereto is asserted under town-site laws. Agreement of homesteader in such case to protect village settlers in occu- pancy does not render entry speculative nor bring it within intent of stat- ute which provides that entry shall not be made for benefit of another where it is apparent that said occupancy is not at instance of entryman. Claim of confirmation under section 7, act of Mar. 3, 1891, will not be con- sidered where entry is found regular and legal. Homestead; preliminary affidavit; Indian homestead. Kribs i: Mil- len et al. (Vol. 20, p. 300. ) Homestead entry, baSed on preliminary affidavit executed before clerk of court on false allegation of "distance" from land oflfice, and filed by mail to secure advantage over applicants in person, will not be permitted to stand. An Indian half-breed may exercise homestead right conferred by act of July 4, 1884, on railroad lands forfeited and restored to entry by act of Sept. 29, 1890. 15 Indian settlement claim; railroad grant. Palouse v. Oregon and California R. R. Co. (Vol. 20, p. 401.) Prior to act of Mar. 3, 1875, there was no law authorizing settlement or conferring right of entry under the public land laws upon Indians, as such, who had severed their tribal relations, and where a settlement right is set up on behalf of an Indian to defeat operation of a railroad grant at a time prior to said act it must be made to appear that said Indian was a citizen. Where a tract of land is apparently subject to operation of railroad grant, but the company treat it as excepted therefrom and select indemnity there- for, selection may stand on condition that company relinquish basis. Isolated tract; homestead entry. Case of John M. Nettles. (Vol. 20, p. 407.) Order directing sale of an island as an isolated tract excludes the land from appropriation under the homestead law. Kime v. Smith. Motion for rehearing denied. (Vol. 20, p. 288.) Langford v. Butler. Motion for review denied. (Vol. 20, p. 350. McDonald et al. v. Hartman et al. Motion for review dismissed. (Vol. 20, p. 324.) Military bounty land warrant. McNamara r. Lombardy. (Vol.20, p. 341.) Where military bounty land warrant is used in payment for land, and said warrant is subsequently canceled on ground of fraudulent assignment thereof, a bona fide assignee of the entryman may be permitted to substi- tute cash in lieu of the canceled warrant. Mineral land; mining claim; expenditure. Sweeney v. Northern Pacific R. R. Co. (Vol. 20, p. 394.) Location of a mining claim in conformity with law on land returned as agricultural raises a presumption that the land is mineral, and burden of proof is thereafter with anyone alleging agricultural character. In case of application for mineral patent that embraces several lode claims proof should show an expenditure of S500 on each claim, except where it is shown that improvement on one of such claims is for common benefit of all. Northern Pacific R. R. Co. v. White. Motion for review denied. (Vol. 20, p. 290.) Oklahoma town lo^; abandonment. Betts et al. v. Townley. (Vol. 20, p. 42.3.) Town-lot claimant who vacates lot in obedience to award made by a citi- zens' committee can not be held by such action to have voluntarily aban- doned his claim. Oklahoma town lot; officer. Miller v. Barnes et al. (Vol. 20, p. 310.) Purchaser of a possessory interest in an Oklahoma town lot who is at such time and at date of town-site entry receiver of a laud office is disqualified from acquiring title. Order of cancellation; reinstatement. Pehling v. Brewer. (Vol. 20, p. 363.) Entryman who fails to appeal from decision canceling his entry and per- mits said decision to become final is not entitled to reinstatment of his entry in the presence of an intervening adverse right. Osage land; alienation; confirmation. Case of William Randolph. (Vol. 20, p. 411.) Fourth section of act of May 28, 1880, recognizes right of an Osage entryman to sell land covered by his entry after submission of final proof and payment of first installment of purchase price. 16 Osage land : alienation ; confirmation — Continued. Entry may be conlirined under body of section 7, act of Mar. 3, 1891, as to specific subdivision held by a transferee, and under proviso as to remainder of land, if no action adverse to the entry has been taken within period fixed by statute. The fact that an Osage entryman had previously made a preemption filing does not defeat confirmation under said section. Patent; erroneous description of land. Case of Hans P. Hanson. (Vol. 20, p. 376.) Where a patent is issued that includes land not embraced in patentee's entry, new patent may issue with correct description, on surrender of former patent, with evidence that patentee has not sold or encumbered the land. Pickard v. Cooley. Motion for review denied. (Vol. 20, p. 419.) Practice; appeal; preemption; preference right. Sielaff i\ Ricliter"s heirs et al. (Vol. 20, p. 396.) Faikire to appeal from an adverse decision of the local office defeats right of appeal from action of General Land Office. Contestant who secures preference right of entry prior to repeal of pre emption law and is at such period residing on the land with intent to preempt the same has a claim thereto lawfully initiated. Preferred right of successful contestant will not be defeated by intervening entry allowed without notice to said contestant. Practice; appeal; specification of errors. McNeice v. Gale. (Vol. 20, p. 329.) Appeal will not be entertained in absence of clear specification ot errors. Practice; contest; joint opinion of local officers. Knight v. Deaver. (Vol. 20, p. 387.) Provisions of riile 51 that require register and receiver to render joint report and opinion on termination of a contest do not deprive General Land Office or Department of authority to consider a case on its merits where the receiver fails to join in said report and opinion. Practice; contest; rehearing; evidence. Ci-oal et al. v. Boetler. (Vol. 20, p. 369.) In ordering a rehearing the Conimissionei- may direct submission of testi- mony taken at former hearing. A party in whose interest a rehearing has been ordered, who does not sub- mit evidence, but relies on a technical defense, must abide by his election in event of unfavorable judgment. Practice; decision on review; timber-land application. State of Cal- ifornia 15. Nickerson. (Vol. 20, p. 391.) On denial of motion for review of a decision that refiises reinstatement of an entry, the land involved is thereupon subject to entry. Application to purchase timber land does not operate to segregate the land. Practice; hearing; discretion of Commissioner. Town of Amargo v. Vorhang. (Vol. 20. p. 359.) Secretary of Interior will not interfere with discretion of Commissioner in refusing to order a hearing unless there is an abuse of discretion. Practice; hearing; mineral character of land. Dargin et al. v. Koch. (Vol. 20, p. 384.) Final decision of the Department in which a tract of land is held to be mineral is only conclusive up to the period covered by the inquiry. 17 Practice; notice by publication; transferee. Charles C. Mclver, ex parte, and Nevview i\ Rock et al. (Vol. 20, p. 380.) As prerequisite to service by publication it must appear that personal serv- ice can not be obtained ; in absence of such showing order for publication is not authorized. Practice: right of appeal from the General Land Office. Kearns v. Baldwin. (Vol. 20, p. 375.) In absence of an appeal taken in time from a decision of the local office, or valid excuse for such default, there is no right of appeal to the Department if said decision is affirmed by the C'ommissioner. Preemption contest; preferred right of contestant. Denman v. Do- menigoni. (Vol. 20, p. 325.) One who appears at time fixed for submission of preemption final proof, files a charge against alleged right of entry on part of preemptor, pays costs of proceedings, and secures a favorable judgment, is entitled to the status of a successful contestant. Preemption; minor heirs; transmutation. Beck f . Steinhaus's heirs. (Vol. 20, p. 409.) Where a preemptor dies leaving an unperfected preemption claim, it is lawful for the minor heirs to transmute the filing to a homestead entry. Railroad grant; indemnity selection; adverse claim. Case of Ala- bama and Chattanooga R. R. Co. (Vol. 20, p. 408. ) A railroad indemnity selection not susceptible of approval at the time made, on account of a prior adverse claim, may be approved when such claim is relinquished. Railroad grant: settlement right; indemnity selection. Northern Pacific R. R. Co. i\ Jackson. (Vol. 20, p. 288. ) Within indemnity limits of Northern Pacific grant the company has no claim, prior to selection, that will defeat acquisition of a settlement right. Application of settler to purchase land settled upon from railroad com- pany will not preclude his subsequently asserting settlement right thereto. Application to enter erroneously rejected and pending an appeal, is a bar to the subsequent selection of the tract as indemnity. Railroad grant; withdrawal on general route; reservation. Case of Northern Pacific R. R. Co. (Vol. 20, p. 332. ) Withdrawal on general route for benefit of Northern Pacific grant is " from sale, entry, and preemption" only, and does not debar the Executive from the exercise of his ordinary aiithority in the establishment of an Indian res- ervation; and lands so reserved are excepted from uhe operation of the grant and revert to the public domain on cession thereof by Indians. Railroad lands; heirs. Tobin t?. Rorke. (Vol. 20, p. 313.) Right to ]3erfect title by licensees of a railroad company descends to the heirs of the licensee. Rehart, S. V., case of. Motion for review denied. (Vol. 20, p. 414.) Repayment; good faith of entryman. Case of William Waible. (Vol. 20, p. 374.) Repayment maybe granted where final proof is held insufficient and entry canceled if it appears that entryman acted in good faith. Repayment; mining claim; foreign corporation. Case of Mary McM. Latham. (Vol. 20, p. 379. ) Repayment will not be allowed on a canceled mineral entry secured through fraudulently suppressing the fact that said entry was for the benefit of a foreign corporation. 60 APR— 2 18 Reservation; executive order: entry. Case of California Loan and Trust Co. (Vol. 20, p. 372.) Failure of the local oflQce, in noting an order of reservation, to include a tract of land actually embraced in said order will not defeat the reservation as to said tract. Second homestead entry. Case of Tonyes H. Linneman. (Vol.20, p. 308.) Right to make a second homestead entry may be recognized when first is relinquished on account of arid and unproductive character of land. Settlement before survey; notice. Luke i\ Birdwell. (Vol. 20, p. 338. ) Notice of a settlement claim given by improvements on unsurveyed land extends only to technical quarter section on which improvements may be found. Notice to settler before survey of contingent claim on part of one who has not reduced land to possession will not serve to defeat right of settler. Soldier's additional homestead; certificate of right. Case of J. S. Pillsbury et al. (review). (Vol. 20. p. 419.) Act authorizing a purchaser under a soldier's certificate of additional right to perfect title by paying Government price of land, where said certificate is found invalid, is not applicable to case wherein certificate is held under a fraudulent power of attorney, and where an adverse claim thereto is asserted and exercised by soldier in person. Soldier's declaratory statement; contestant; Oklahoma lands. Mullen V. Porter. (Vol. 20, p. 334. ) Standing of one who files soldier's declaratory statement for a tract cov- ered by prior settlement right of another that is subsequently asserted in form of entry will not defeat preferred right of contestant who successfully attacks said entry. Right of contestant to proceed against entry is not defeated by relinquish- ment filed prior to hearing. Soldier's declaratory statement, filed for tract of land in Oklahoma by agent who entered said territory prior to time fixed therefor, is illegal and confers no right on claimant. Survey; meander line of lake. Case of Watson H. Brown. (Vol.20, p. 315.) Land lying between a properly established meander line of a lake and shore line of water is not unsurveyed land. Timber-culture entry; acreage subject to entry. Case of Elbert S. Lamon. (Vol. 20, p. 337.) Timber-culture entry is limited to one-fou rth the land embraced in section except where such entry is of a technical quarter section. Umatilla lands; additional entry; conveyance. Case of Cozbi Town- send. (Vol. 20. p. 428.) Right to make additional entry of Umatilla lands conferred upon persons whose claims were made fractional by boundary line of reservation crossing same may be exercised by widow of homesteader. Where homesteader conveys his interest in homestead tract to his wife, as his widow, for purpose of avoiding expense that would attend settlement of his estate, the instrument so executed, though in form of a deed, must be regarded as testamentary. Umatilla lands; compliance with law. Case of Charles O. Fanning. (Vol. 20, p. 297.) L'nder a purchase of untimbered Umatilla land, where payments therefor are made in time, but pi'oof with respect to residence and cultivation is unsatisfactory, the entry is not defeated thereby, but should be suspended vintil purchaser may furnish proof. 19 Umatilla lands; cultivation; grazing land. Case of John M. Allen. (Vol. 20, p. 363.) Use of land for grazing purposes by entryman is sufficient compliance witli law as to cultivation, if land is better suited to such iise than to raising crops; and it is not material whether stock is property of entryman. Winn V. Saunders et al. Motion for review denied. (Vol. 20, p. 286.) Decisions in Pension Cases Accrued pension; reimbursement. Case of Mallssa Ray. No. 221. The act of Mar. 2, 1895, makes provision for reimbursement of the person who bore expenses of last sickness and burial of a widow pensioner or appli- cant, who left no minor child of pensionable age, out of the accrued pension due such pensioner to date of her death, provided she did not leave suffi- cient assets to meet such expense. Attorneys; no service, no fees. Case of Martin J. Craiglow. No. 210. The rule that what is done in an attorney's time is to be credited to him is subject to the further rule that before one attorney may profit by the work performed by another he must render some material and necessary service Mere right to recognition does not give title to fee. The rule is, no service, no fee. Attorney's rights on death of claimant. Case of Americus Mayo. No. 214. 1. Where a claim for pension is pending and the applicant dies, the attorney of record will be permitted to proceed under his original contract and prose- cute the claim to adjudication. 3. If the claim be rejected and he desires to file evidence with a view to re- opening, or to appeal, he must obtain a power of attorney from the widow or person next in order of succession. Attorneyship; increase act of June 27, 1890; priority. Case of Isaac Turner. No. 212. Inability to earn support by manual labor is the sole basis of pension under section 3 of act of June 37, 1890, and where pension has been granted because of partial inability, any newly alleged cause of disability is but contributory. A claim based on such cause is a claim for straight increase, no matter how many declarations may have been filed, how many causes alleged, or how many attorneys employed. Attorneyship; priority. Case of Thomas Bean. No. 213. 1. Where a claim for pension under section 3 of act of June 37, 1890, is re- jected, attorney of record is allowed ninety days to take steps necessary to reopening. 3. If attorney of record shall have taken such steps, and within the time allowed him a new declaration be filed by a second attorney, such filing is contributory service on the part of the latter and is to be credited to the former. 3. If the original attorney fails to take the action required for the purpose of reopening, but instead files a new declaration, such failure is to be consid- ered as an abandonment, and his position is the same as that of an attorney who has had no previous connection with the case. 4. After rejection and abandonment that attorney will acquire title to recog- nition who first files a sufficient declaration and valid power of attorney. Assignment of attorneyship; acknowledgment. Case of James Sulli- van. No. 211. Where an attorney filed an application for pension under act of June 27 1890, alleging disability resulting in partial inability to earn support by man iial labor, and does not neglect the claim, and another attorney files a declara- tion in which a different cause is alleged, and upon adjudication both causes are accepted as contributing to inability, on allowance of pension the first attorney is entitled to recognition. 20 Dependence.

Note.— These maps, projected without reference to political divisions, are designated by some prominent feature found on them. They are of uni- form size— 16 by 20 inches, on a scale of 1:62,.500, or about 1 mile to 1 linear inch on the map. They are issued as working editions for the use of geol- ogists of the United States Geological Survey, and are not published for general distribution or for sale. About 900 sheets have been produced since 1883, covering more or less every State and Territory. Massachusetts, Ehode Island, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Some of the earlier maps are on a scale of 1:125,000 or 1:250,000. PATENT OFFICE Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office. [Weekly.] Vol. 71. No. 1-5.

Sec. 69, A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each month, •which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month, where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such catalogue shall be printed in pamphlet form for distribution. SALES OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS Section 61 of the act above quoted provides as follows: The Superintendent of Documents so designated and appointed is hereby authorized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing fi'om stereotj'ped plates; but only one copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any officer of the Government having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is herebj' authorized to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them under the iiro\isions of this section. In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where publica- tions are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. In all cases these computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The cost of paper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c. to 30c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume for octavos, and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00 per volume. WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE When the office of the Superintendent of Documents has been fully organized, and all the provisions of law relating to it have become operative, it is presumed that it will be able to supply all ordinary demands for the purchase of the current documents, and most de- mands for copies of the older documents. It will, however, be some time before this expectation can be entirely realized. 3 The existing arrangements for disposing of public documents are qnite varied, but it is believed that the following statement describes ail their important features. It is, however, made subject to correc- tion as more detailed information may be received: Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, varying in number, of nearlj' all kinds of Government publications, which are distributed on their order from the Senate and House folding and document rooms. Documents can often be obtained more promptly and cheaply by application to Members of Congress than to the De- partments. The Department of State sells the Revised Statutes, Statutes at Large, and pamphlet laws. Address Disbursing Clerk, Department of State. If drafts are sent, make them payable to his order. The Bureau of the American Republics sells its own monthly bul- letins, handbooks, etc., at from 10c. to 50c. Address the Director of the Bureau. The weekly Catalogue of Copyrights, prepared by the Librarian of Congress, is published by the Department of the Treasury, but is not sold by that Department, nor by the Librarian.

The Nautical Almanac and other astronomical publications are sold by the Siiperintendent of the Nautical Almanac, Department of the Navy, and by agents of the Nautical Almanac Office in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, Portland (Oreg.), Baltimore, San Francisco, London. Paris, and Berlin. The price of the Almanac is $1.00, and it is issued three years in advance. Paper-covered editions are sold for half this price bj' the agents, but only the cloth edition is sold bj^ the office itself. The Decisions of the Department of the Interior in land cases and in pension cases are issued in slips and signatures at 10c. each, and in bound volumes at prices ranging from $1.05 to $1.45 per volume. Subscribers may deposit $1.00, either in the Department or in the Pension Office or the General Land Office, and receive the contents of a volume of the Decisions in separate parts as they appear. Of the Land Decisions usually two volumes are issued yearly, though not at regular periods, while the Pension-Decision volumes appear at longer intervals, sometimes more than two years apart. Orders for the publications of the Tenth and Eleventh Censuses (1880 and 1890) should be sent to the chief clerk of the Department of the Interior, indorsed "Document Di\nsion." The various bureaus of the Department of the Interior have an extensive and important list of publications, which may be ordered from the Department or directly from the bureaus. These include the issues of the Pension. Patent, and Land offices, and of the Geo- logical Survey. The publications of the Geological Survey include annual reports, monographs, bulletins, and atlases, which cost from 25c. to $4.50 each. Address the Director of the Survey, Washington.

For the publications of this Bureau and all others of the Department of Agriculture application should be made directly to the Secretary of Agriculture. In its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian In - stitution publishes this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Institution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Col- lections, and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale. The edition of volumes of Contributions and Collections is limited, and is distributed to designated public libraries and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition of some of the papers in the above publications is i^i-inted for sale or exchange. Those at pres- ent available are enumerated in the accompanying list. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum application should be made to Members of Congress. For reports, etc., of the Bureau of Ethnology application should be made to Members of Congress or to the Director of the Bui'eau." The " accompanying list" contains 479 titles, of which 223 are priced at from 2c. to $7.50 each. The annual report is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution. The publications of the Department of Labor, the Bureau of Edu- cation, and the Fish Commission are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and through Members of Congi-ess, but they are in so much demand that back numbers are scarce and diffi- cult to obtain, while complete sets are practically unattainable. The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its reports free to all applicants. The Government Printing Office sells the Monthly Statements of Finance, Commerce, and Immigration, compiled by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of the Treasury; the Congressional Record, from the beginning of the Fiftieth Congress to date; the set of State Constitutions and Colonial Charters; Poore's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; the Reports of the Fish Com- mission; the Reports on the Paris Exposition; the Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office; the Polaris Arctic Expedi- tion; Hall's Arctic Expedition; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other Powers, 1776-1887; Second and Third Annual Reports of the Geological Survey; Fishing Industries of the United States, five volumes; Report of Silver Commission, 1876; Interna- tional Monetary Conference. 1881 ; and United States Infantry, Cav- alry, and Artillery Drill Regulations.

The Geological Survey and the War Records Office will receive currency as well as postal money orders if the exact amount be sent. The State Department will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as money orders or currency. None of the Departments or Bureaus will receive individual checks or postage stamjDS in payment for books. All the Government offices which have books for sale issue price lists, which will be sent free to all applicants. Except for some of the publications of the Hydrographic Office, the prices charged are never more than cost and 10 per cent added, and frequently much less than that. All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may be bought, will be forwarded to the purchaser free of postage.

(Vol. 20, p. 448.) In determining acreage that may be taken as additional homestead entry, the rule of appi'oximation is applicable. Alaska ; sale of public lands. Instructions. (Vol. 20, p. 434. ) Persons or corporations may purchase only so much land as is actually used for trade or manufactures, in no case to exceed 160 acres. The language of the act, "to be taken as near as practicable in a square form," means that the land should be laid off as nearly square as practicable, but not to interfere with the occupancy of any other qualified person or corporation. Desert-land declaration. Case of Hoge Wilson. (Vol.20. p. 482.) Act of Aug. 4, 1894, validates entries based on preliminary affidavits before United States court commissioners instead of United States circuit court commissioners, if no other objection exists. A desert-land declaration, and affidavits therewith, made outside of the county in which the land is situated, are invalid. Desert-land entry ; final proof ; partial reclamation. Rider t\ At- water. (Vol. 20, p. 449.) Proof of reclamation on a desert-land entry must show that the claimant is in possession of a permanent water supply sufficient to effect reclamation. When proof shows reclamation as to a part of the land, and failure to effect proper irrigation of the remainder, the entry may be approved as to tracts reclaimed, and canceled as to remainder. District of Columbia; regulations of Mar. 31, 1894, amended. Order. (Vol. 20, p. 435.) Indian lands ; occupancy for mission purposes. Case of A. J. Glo- rieux. (Vol. 20, p. 462.) The Secretary of the Interior may confirm occupancy of land for religious or educational work among Indians, whenever such action is for their wel- fare, and the lands are subject to allotment. If such occupancy subse- quently appears not to the interest of the Indians, the Secretary may direct discontinuance. Spokane Indians ; final proof. Case of Obed Jacobs. (Vol. 20, p. 508.) Fourth article of agreement with Spokane Indians does not relieve said Indians from any requirement in matter of final proof except as to residence on the land. 1-3 Jenkins et al. v. Dreyfus ; motion for review of Departmental decision of Oct. 10, 1894, denied. (Vol. 20, p. 450. ) Mining claim ; alumina ; agricultural claim. Jordan r. The Idaho Aluminium Mining and Manufacturing Co. (Vol. 20, p. 500.) Alumina is not such a mineral as will except the land containing the same from settlement and entry as agricultural land or warrant the allowance of a mineral entry thereof. Discovery shaft. E. W. "Williams et al. (Vol. 20, p. 458.) A mineral entry can not be allowed upon discovery of a lode within the limits of a prior patented lode claim. — Placer location ; expenditure. Clark r. Taylor. (Vol. 20, p. 455. ) The fact that part of the work required by law on a placer claim is per- formed prior to location, and while it is held as agricultural land, does not call for cancellation of entry, where full amount of work required by law is performed prior to entry, and good faith is apparent, and no adverse claim exists. Northern Pacific R. R. Co. v. Flannery ; motion for review of Depart- mental decision of Feb. 23, 1895, denied. (Vol. 20, p. 466.) Same v. Knudson; same ruling. (Vol. 20, p. 499.) Oklahoma lands ; Cherokee Outlet ; settlement rights. Cagle v. Men- denhall. (Vol. 20, p. 446.) Action of the Department in forbidding persons from making the run into the lauds of the Cherokee Outlet, on the day of the opening, from Indian reservations on the eastern boundary, is not inconsistent with the statute authorizing the disposal of said lands, and one who violates said order is dis- qualified as a settler. Oklahoma town lots ; occupancy. McGregor u. McGranahan. (Vol. 20, p. 480.) One within the Territory of Oklahoma at the hour of opening, and occupy ing at such time a tract of land, is disqualified thereby to enter said land even though within said Territory by lawful authority. Occupancy of a town lot as basis of title thereto must be maintained, or due effort made to maintain it, until the date of the town-site entry. Same ; purpose of appropriation. "Weathers r. "Wallace. (Vol. 20, p. 495.) Town lots may be taken either for business or residence purposes : and it is not material that the claimant owns other lots and intends all of them together as a homestead, and is using the lot applied for as a garden. Same; occupancy. Knapp v. Kalklosch. (Vol. 20, p. 483.) As between two claimants for a town lot, where one establishes and main- tains occupancy in accordance with voluntary proposition of the other, such occupancy should be recogrnized as basis of title. Pensacola and Louisville R. R. Co.; motion for review of Depart- mental decision of Dec. 5, 1894, denied. (Vol. 20, p. 448.) Plat of survey ; timber-land entry : contiguity of tracts. Case of Francis Gormley. (Vol. 20, p. 450.) A decision of the General Land Oflice, based on plat of survey in said ofl[ice, holding tracts of land to be noncontiguous, must be treated as conclusive, in absence of evidence showing error in plat. An entry of timber and stone land can not be allowed to embrace noncon- tiguous tracts of land. 16 Practice ; apiieal ; proceedings on final proof. Case of Patrick Fox. (Vol. 20, p. 468.) Where entry is held for cancellation on report of special agent, subject to right of entryman to apply for hearing to show cause why entry should be sustained, entryman may decline to apply for hearing, and appeal te the Department. Railroad grant ; adjustment ; lands reserved. Chapman et al. r. Burlington and Missouri River R. R. Co. (Vol. 20, p. 496.) The grant to this company in Nebraska contemplates that one- half the land shall be taken on each side of the road; but in adjustment of said grant the company has received more lands than it is entitled to, the excess lying on north side, and though suit is pending for recovery of said excess, and no more lands can be patented to the company, yet lands on south side of road, where grant is deficient, that were subject to the grant at definite loca- tion, are not open to entry, but subject to the action of the court. Consolidation ; mortgage sale. Doering v. Union Pacific Railway Co. (Vol. 20, p. 466.) Act of Mar. 3, 1869, authorizing Union Pacific Railway Co., eastern division, to contract with Denver Pacific company for construction and operation of road between Denver and Cheyenne, is recognized in the Department and courts as authority for consolidation of said lines. Provision in act incorporating Union Pacific Railway Co. , that lands granted remaining unsold after three years from final completion of road should be subject to settlement and preemption, can not be enforced as against a mort- gage on said lands wherein the fee is hypothecated to secure payment of a debt not yet due. Selection; mining claim. Soutliern Pacific R. R. Co. v. Griffin etal. (Vol. 20, p. 485.) Application for mineral patent should not be allowed where the land is covered by a railroad selection of record without due notice to the company. Placer claims on surveyed lands must conform to legal subdivisions thereof. Withdrawal on general route. Pritchard t*. Northern Pacific R. R. Co. (Vol. 20. p. 498.) Statutory withdrawal on general route, iinder grant to this company, is not defeated nor impaired by an erroneous order of restoration issued by the General Laud Ofl[ice. Railroad lands ; forfeiture act ; soldier's declaratory .statement. Wickstrom v. Calkins et al. (Vol. 20, p. 459. ) An applicant for preferred right of entry accorded bona fide settlers who fails to appeal from the rejection of his application loses thereby whatever rights he may have been entitled to, and the heir of such an appUcant can have no rights based on the settlement of deceased applicant. The law authorizing filing of a soldier's homestead declaratory statement does not warrant rejection of a filing on the ground that it was received through the mails. Reinstatement; confirmation. Craig v. Kromzzinski et al. (Vol. 20, p. 488.) A canceled entry can not be reinstated for benefit of transferees on ground of its cancellation without notice to said parties, where it appears they were not entitled to notice and the adverse right of another has intervened. Confirmatory provisions of sec. 7, act of Mar. 3, 1891, were not intended to disturb vested interests acquired prior to passage of said act. Reservation; imi^rovements. Instructions. (Vol. 20. p. 465.) The Department will not consent to the erection of buildings on land re- served for Government use, when such improvements may form the basis of a demand against the United States. 17 Res judicata: school indemnity selection; settlement rights. Dohr- man v. Krieger et al. (Vol. 20, p. 490. ) Commissioner of General Land OflBce has no authority to entertain motion for review of a decision that has become final for want of appeal School indemnity selection can not be regarded as rene" 1 of previous selection where neither base alleged nor land claimed are the same. Conflicting settlement rights acquired prior to survey may Ije adjusted by allowance of an entry made under agreement on part of entryman to convey to the other claimant the land actually included within his possession. Right of way; canal and reservoir. Case of South Platte and Reser- voir Co. (Vol. 20. p. 464.) Application for right-of-way privileges under act of Mar. .3. 1891, can not be approved where it appears that purpose of propo.sed pipe line and reser- voir is to afford an auxiliary to waterworks of a city. Watering of gardens and lawns in a city during the summer is not the irrigation contemplated. Sanders r. Parker; motion for review of Departmental decision of Dec. 24. 1894, denied. (Vol. 20, p. 449.) Settlement on reserved land: conflicting settlement rights. Hunter r. Blodgett. (Vol. 20. p. 452.) Settlement on land covers 3 by entry of another confers no right against either Government or entrjTnan. but as between two settlers on land thus reserved, the settlement first in pwint of time is entitled to highest consider- ation, in event of subsequent cancellation of said entry. Act of settlement should consist of some stibstantial and visible improve- ment having the character of permanency. Setting stakes to mark founda- tion of a house will not be considered an act of settlement, where the stakes are so small as to be scarcely visible. Turner v. Southern Pacific R. R. Co. : motion for review of Depart- mental decision of Jan. 3. 1893. denied. (Vol. 20, p. 452.) Decisions in ji^'ision cases Limitation; minor's pension; commencement. Hannah Hallowell. minor. (No. 227.) The act providing pension for minor children of a soldier expressly limits the commencement of such pension to the date of filing the application. This claimant having attained the age of Iti years previous to passage of said act. there is no period during which pension may be paid. Marriage: insanity. Mary J. Storms, widow. (No. 228.) Soldier having been insane at the time of alleged marriage to appellant, she has no pensionable status, as. under laws of Michigan, where said mar- riage was celebrated, "all marriages solemnized when either of the parties was insane or an idiot are absolutely void, without any decree of divorce or legal process.'" Suspension: accrued pension. Mary J. Rice, widow. (No. 229.) Act of Dee. 21, 1893, relieves Commi.ssioner of Pensions of power of sus- pending payment of pension pending proceeding to annul or reduce it, leav- ing the pension to accrue during that period, and to the pensioner the right to demand and receive payment at the times fixed for payments under the law. But when the decision of the Commissioner cf Pensions is ren- dered, the effect thereof is to authorize withdrawal of payment, not only as to such illegal part which but for the decision might thereafter have accrued, but as to all unpaid pension adjudged illegal under that decision.

Catalogue of Public Documents Printed During the Month (if June, 1895 AUTHORITY FOR PUBLICATION This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the pro\nsions of section 69 of an act of Congress ijroviding for the public printing and binding and the distribution of public documents, approved Jan- uary 12, 1895. Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each month, which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month, where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such catalogue shall be printed in pamphlet form for distribution. SALES OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS Section 61 of the act above qiioted provides as follows: The Superintendent of Documents so designated and appointed is hereby authorized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any ofl&cer of the Government having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them under the provisions of this section. In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where publica- tions are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. In all cases these computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The cost of paper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c. to 30c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume for octavos, and $1.50 for quartos: of half russia or half turkey. $1.00 per volume. WHERE DOCUMENTS ARE OBTAINABLE When the ofl&ce of the Superintendent of Documents has been fully organized, and all the provisions of law relating to it have become operative, it is presumed that it will be able to supply all ordinary demands for the purchase of the current documents, and most de- mands for copies of the older documents. It will, however, be some time before this expectation can be entirely realized. The existing arrangements for disposing of public documents are quite varied, but it is believed that the following statement describes all their important features. It is, however, made subject to correc- tion as more detailed information may be received: Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, varying in number, of nearly all kinds of Government publications, which are distributed on their order from the Senate and House folding and document rooms. Documents can often be obtained more promptly and cheaply by application to Members of Congress than to the De- partments. The Department of State sells the Revised Statutes, Statutes at Large, and pamphlet laws. Address Disbursing Clerk, Department of State. If drafts are sent, make them payable to his order. The Bureau of the American Republics sells its own monthly bul- letins, handbooks, etc., at from 10c. to 50c. Address the Director of the Bureau. The weekly Catalogue of Copyrights, prepared by the Librarian of Congress, is published by the Department of the Treastiry, but is not sold by that Department, nor by the Librarian.

The Nautical Almanac and other astronomical publications are sold by the Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac, Department of the Navy, and by agents of the Nautical Almanac office in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, Portland (Oreg.), Baltimore, San Francisco, London, Paris, and Berlin. The price of the Almanac is §1.00, and it is issued three years in advance. Paper-covered editions are sold for half this price by the agents, but only the cloth edition is sold by the office itself. The Decisions of the Department of the Interior in land cases and in pension cases are issued in slips and signatures at 10c. each, and in bound volumes at prices ranging from $1.05 to $1.45 per volume. Subscribers may deposit $1.00, either in the Department or in the Pension Office or the General Land Office, and receive the contents of a volume of the Decisions in separate parts as they appear. Of the Land Decisions usually two volumes are issued yearlj', though not at regular periods, while the Pension- Decision volumes appear at longer intervals, sometimes more than two years apart. Orders for the publications of the Tenth and Eleventh Censuses (1880 and 1890) should be sent to the chief clerk of the Department of the Interior, indorsed "Document Division." The various biireaus of the Department of the Interior have an extensive and important list of publications, which may be ordered from the Department or directly from the bureaus. These include the issues of the Pension, Patent, and Land offices, and of the Geo- logical Survej'. The publications of the Geological Survey include annual reports, monogi'aphs, bulletins, and atlases, which cost from 25c. to $4.50 each. Address the Director of the Survey, Washington.

In its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian In- stitution publishes this note: ''The publications of the Smithsonian Institution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections, and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale. The edition of volumes of Contributions and Collections is limited, and is distributed to designated public libraries and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition of some of the papers in the above piiblications is printed for sale or exchange. Those at jjres- ent available are enumerated in the accompanying list. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum application should be made to Members of Congress. For reports, etc., of the Bureau of Ethnology application should be made to Members of Congress or to the Director of the Bureau." The "accompanying list" contains 479 titles, of which 222 are priced at from 2c. to $7.50 each. The annual report is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution. The publications of the Department of Labor, the Bureau of Edu- cation , and the Fish Commission are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and through Members of Congress, but they are in so much demand that back niimbers are scarce and diffi- cult to obtain, while complete sets are practically unattainable. The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its publications free to all applicants. The Government Printing Office sells the Monthly Statements of Finance, Commerce, and Immigration, compiled by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of the Treasury; the Congressional Record, from the beginning of the Fiftieth Congress to date; the set of State Constitutions and Colonial Charters; Poore's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; the Reports of the Fish Com- mission; the Reports on the Paris Exposition; the Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-GeneraVs Office; the Polaris Arctic Expedi- tion; Hall's Arctic Expedition; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other Powers, 1776-1887; Second and Third Annual Reports of the Geological Survey; Fishing Industries of the United States, five volumes; Report of Silver Commission, 1876; Interna- tional Monetary Conference, 1881; and United States Infantry, Cav- alry, and Artillery Drill Regulations.

The State Department will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as money orders or currency. None of the Departments or Bureaus will receive individual checks or postage stamps in payment for books. All the Government offices which have books for sale issue price lists, which will be sent free to all applicants. Except for some of the publications of the Hydrographic Office, the prices charged are never more than cost and 10 per cent added, and frequently much less than that. All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may be bought, will be forwarded to the purchaser free of postage. Congress of the United States Abridgment.

(Vol. 20, p. 568.) Application to enter; appeal; settlement right. Summers v. Eagle. (Vol. 20, p. 550.) Failure of applicant for public land to file a formal appeal from rejection of his application will not defeat his rights where by subsequent diligence he secures examination of record by General Land Office. No rights on public land, as against adverse claimants, are secured by resi- dence, where no steps are taken within proper time to protect alleged settle- ment right. Coal land; declaratory statement. Case of Charles Lyon. (Vol. 20, p. 556.) A coal land declaratory statement can not be filed for unsurveyed land. Commutation of Oklahoma homestead for town site; school fund. (Vol. 20, p. 506.) Sec. 22, act of May 2, 1890, contemplates payment to the town for school purposes, only of such sums as may be paid in commutation of homestead entries for town-site purposes on the purchase of the land at rate of $10 per acre. Confirmation; sec. 7, act of Mar. 3, 1891. Day et al. v. Fogg. (Vol. 20, p. 553.) Entry erroneously canceled prior to act of Mar. 3, 1891, without opportunity of defense given to entryman, or bona fide incumbrancers, must be regarded, so far as incumbrancers are concerned, as an existing entry, and therefore within confirmatory provisions of sec. 7. Desert-land entry; order of suspension. Magner i\ Lawrence (Vol. 20, p. 548.)

Deed executed prior to making of homestead entry, purporting to convey land then owned by entryman, and apparently made for purpose of convey- ing title in trust for benefit of entryman, will not defeat inhibitory provision of statute limiting right of homestead entry to persons not owning 160 acres of land. Rehearing will not be granted where it appears that on trial defendant rested his case on demurrer that was then overruled, and declined to intro- duce testimony on his own behalf. Sec. 2, act of June 15, 1880. Quinn v. Tebay. (Vol. 20 p. 528.) Motion for review that raises question not in issue at hearing or before General Land Office or Department on appeal will not be granted. Term "homestead laws," as used in proviso to sec. 3, act of June 15, 1880, is employed in a generic sense, and will include, and protect an intervening desert-land entry. .18 19 Johnson v. Leavenworth; motion for hearing in case denied. (Vol. 20, p. 527.) Mineral lands, Classification of; accounts. Instructions to Commis- sioners to classify mineral lands. (Vol. 20. p. 522.) Same. Instructions to Commissioner of General Land Office- (Vol. 20, p. 561.) Mining claim; character of land. Crow i-. Roberts. (Vol, 20, p. 564.) Where hearing is asked in order to show alleged agricultural character of a tract held as a mining claim, and that has once been adjudged mineral in proceedings instituted to determine the character of the land, the agricul- tural claimant should be required to allege and prove the abandonment or forfeiture of the mining claim. Mulligan v. Stalter; motion for review of decision of Mar. 19, ls95, denied. (Vol. 20, p. 526.) Oklahoma to\^^^ site; public park reserve. Case of Joseph E. Dolezal. (Vol. 20, p. 524.) The approved survey of a town site, showing a reservation for public park precludes allowance of town-lot entry of land so reserved. Practice; affidavit; attorney; officer. Werden v. Schlecht et al. (Vol, 20, p. 523.) Affidavit of a party taken before his attorney, as notary public, will not be accepted by the Department. An attorney will not be recognized in a case where it appears that he is an officer of the Department. Appeal; review; application to enter. McMichael r. Murphy etal. (Vol. 20, p. 535.) In computation of the time for appeal from General Land Office, where motion for review has intervened, appellant is entitled to ten days, inde- pendently of the same period given for filing review, where notices of Com- missioner's action are sent through the mails by the local office. Rights of an appellant are not prej udiced by negligence of the local officers. Motion for review will not lie for consideration of a question not in issue when original decision was rendered. No rights are secured under application to enter filed at a time when land is covered by record entry of another. Application to enter land subject thereto is equivalent to actual entry so far as rights of applicant are concerned, and his heirs are entitled to com- plete the entry. Application for certiorari; appeal. Blackwell Townsite i\ Miner. (Vol. 20, p. 544.) Application for certiorari will not be granted where it appears that deci- sion of General Land Office rendered substantial justice in the premises even though right of appeal is wrongfully denied. Rule 48; soldier's additional homestead; hearing. Hamrick v. Butts et al. and Hamrick v. Shepi^ard et al. (Vol. 20, p. 516.) Failure to appeal from decision of local office will not preclude General Land Office from examination of facts where fraud or gross irregularity is suggested. Soldier's additional homestead entry made under contract to sell land on issuance of final certificate should be canceled as speculative and fraudulent. Acts of Mar. 3, 1893, and Aug. 18, 1894, do not contemplate perfection of soldier's additional homestead entry, made in person by soldier and without certificate of right. Right of the Government to test validity of an entry in a direct proceeding is not defeated by failure in a collateral proceeding. 20 Preemption entry; sec. 2260, R. S. Case of James Cash. (Vol. 20, p. 508.) Suit requested for recovery title where it appears that patent has issued to a preemptor that removed from land of his own in the same State to establish his residence on the preemption claim. Railroad grant; lands excepted; homestead. Northern Pacific R. R. Co. (Vol. 20, p. 514.) Land embraced within homestead entry at date of the granting act is ex- cepted from operation thereof, whether perfected or not. Sec. 1, act of Apr. 21, 1876. Northern Pacific R.R. Co. v. Cross- white. (Vol. 20, p. 526.) Confirmatory provisions of sec. 1, act of Apr. 21, 1876, are not limited to entries made prior to passage of act. Railroad lands; sec. 4, act of Mar. 3, 1887. Rl^th v. Union Pacific Ry. Co. (Vol. 20, p. 505.) When a railroad company has sold and conveyed land improperly patented to it. and received payment, right of entry by the company's grantee, with or without payment of the Government price of the land, will not be recog- nized while the patent in the name of the company is outstanding. The grantee of the company in such case may reconvey title to the com- pany and the company to the Government, and so enable the Department to issue patent to said grantee. Railroad right of way; tramroad. Instructions. (Vol. 20, p. 509.) Sec. 3288, R. S., amended by act of Mar. 3, 1891, authorizing settlers to exe- cute conveyances of lands for " railroad " right-of-way purposes, is applica- ble to "tramroads," used in mining, quarrying, and manufacturing lumber. Rankin, John M.; motion for review of decision of Mar. 28, 1895, denied. (Vol. 20, p. 528.) Repayment; homestead entry; fees and commission. Case of E. Zenker. (Vol. 20. p. 551.) Where a second homestead entry is allowed, the fees and commission paid on the first can not be returned if said entry was not erroneously allowed. Scrip location; equitable adjudication. Case of M. W. G. Burgess. (Vol.20, p. 502.) Preemption entry in which land Is paid for with surveyor-general's scrip, under act of Jan. 28, 1879, may be referred to board of equitable adjudica- tion, if application to locate was irregularly made for aggregate amount as one location, instead of separately for each piece. Settlement before survey; homestead entry; heirs. Patton t'. George. (Vol. 20, p. 533.) Where settler on unsurveyed land dies prior to survey thereof, and home- stead entry is subsequently made for the heirs, it should be made for the benefit of " the heirs or devisee " of the deceased settler. Sioux half-breed scrip; location; tide lands. Dearborn v. Langie. (Vol.20, p. 530.) Location of Sioux half-breed scrip on unsurveyed land is permissible, but until Government survey is filed scrip location remains unadjusted, and as said surveys are not extended over tide-water lands, right acquired by such location is not sufficient to defeat the title of the State, by virtue of its inherent sovereignty over land within its limits below ordinary high- water mark. 21 Sioux Indian lands; allotment. Crow v. Knowles et al. (Vol. 20, p. 562.) Right of an Indian under sec. 13, act of Mar. 2, 1889. to take as his allotment land on which he was residing at the time said act became effective, cuts off all intervening adverse claims. State selection; lands restored to public domain. Case of State of Mississippi . (Vol. 20. p. 510.) Right of State under act of June 30, 1894, to select lands for university purposes from those restored to public domain by act of Mar. 2, 1895, does not extend to lands restored by said act that were by terms thereof set apart for entry under town-site laws. Supervisory jurisdiction; final proof proceedings. Langford v. But- ler. (Vol.20.p.5T0.) In absence of adverse claim and where showing of good faith is made, pre- emptor may be allowed to submit new final proof, where first is found irregu- lar and insuflBcient. Swineford et al. v. Piper; motion for review of decision of July 2, 1894, denied. (Vol. 20, p. .524. ) Timber-land entry; married women; transferee. Case of S.W.Tate. (Vol. 20, p. 552.) In absence of adverse claim, timber-land entry made by married woman, and held by a transferee, will not be canceled for want of aflidavit required of married woman on submission of final proof where her sole interest is set forth in preliminary aflSdavit, and in final proof it is alleged entry is made for her sole use and benefit, and where she refuses to make such aflSldavlt except on payment of further sum by transferee. Proof and payment. Case of J. M. McDonald. (Vol. 20, p. 559.) There is no authority to allow a timber-land applicant, who has published notice of intention to purchase a tract, to republish the notice and thereafter make proof and payment, and thus in effect secure additional time. Town-lot contest; survey; occupancy. J. F. McGrath et al. (Vol. 20. p. 542.) Trustees of a town site have no authority to make a deed before tract has been surveyed and platted into lots and blocks, streets and alleys, nor are they authorized to make deed to portion of a street or alley, or to execute deeds to lots otherwise than as they are surveyed and platted. One who takes possession of a town lot by force or fraud, or maintains occupancy as the tenant of another, is not thereby invested with a right to a deed, as against either his landlord or the rightful claimant. Decisions in pension cases Adulterous cohabitation. Case of Eliza Fain, widow. No. 231. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 572.) Adulterous cohabitation of a widow subsequent to passage of act of Aug. 7, 1882, works forfeiture of her pension from the commencement of such cohabitation. Deserter; discharge; res judicata. Case of Peter Kenney. No. 236. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 588.) 1. A soldier who is a deserter from the militarv service and has never been discharged is not pensionable under any law for any period subsequent to his said enlistment and desertion. 2. When a soldier was discharged to reenlist and did reenlist as a veteran volunteer, and thereafter deserted and never returned to or was discharged from the service, he is not pensionable under any law. 3. Where a pension certificate has been issued to such a deserter, under a misapprehension of the facts and contrary to law. the Secretary of the Interior has power to refuse payment thereon, and the doctrine of res judicata does not apply in such a case. 22 Disloyalty; evidence. Case of Aug. B. Longee. No. 235. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 586.) 1. Where there is a record of service in Confederate army, it will be pre- sumed that service was voluntary, but such presumption may be rebutted. 2. Where service in Confederate army is shown by a claimant's record, the burden of proof is on him to show that such service was not voluntary. 3. Where the record shows that a claimant voluntarily engaged in the 'rebellion, his claim should be rejected. 4. A claimant who was conscripted into the Confederate army, and where from the record it appears that any service rendered was not voluntary, but wholly compulsory, he is excepted from the operation of section 4r"16, R. S. 5. The sufficiency of the evidence to rebut the presumption of voluntary service in the Confederate army must depend on the circumstances. Fee agreement; indorsements. Case of C. V. Selkirk, claimant. No. 230. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 576.) Writing on the face margin of a fee agreement, not referred to in the body thereof, is no part of such agreement, and will not be considered. Fee; forfeiture; attorneyship. Case of John S. Keisor, claimant. No. 223. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 558.) 1. Where an attorney, entitled to information as to effect of evidence filed by him, has asked for such information, and the Bureau has failed to furnish it, such failure is error. 3. Where an attorney, entitled as aforesaid, has made proper call for status, subsequent filing of similar calls at intervals of a year or less is not necessary to preservation of his right to recognition. Insanity; declaration; prochein ami. Case of Joseph Cravpford, in- sane, by next friend. No. 232. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 582. ) A person non compos mentis, without a committee or guardian, may file a valid declaration for pension by a competent person as next friend, but before payment a guardian or committee must be appointed. Jurisdiction; decree; divorce. Case of Susan McLeod, alleged widow. No. 237. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. .590.) A decree of divorce rendered by an Ohio court can not be set aside twenty two years thereafter, and eleven years after the death of one of the parties, by said court so as to give the woman so divorced a pensionable status. Limitation ; motions to reconsider ; practice. Case of Byron L. Streeter. No. 238. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 594.) Attorney will be allowed 90 days to file motion for reconsideration of a Departmental decision affirming action of Bureau of Pensions in rejecting claim, allowing unsatisfactory rate, or denying right to recognition or fee. Marriage; evidence. Case of Rachel Harvey, alleged widow. No. 241. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 600.) Claimant and soldier having been married when both were aware that soldier had a wife living from whom he had not been divorced, their cohabi- tation was illicit, and, in the absence of proof of a change to a matrimonial relation after soldier's wife procured a divorce, it will be presumed that the original illicit relation has continued, and she will be held not to be legal widow. Rate; aid and attendance; insanity. Case of T. L. Hurst, insane. No. 234. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 583. ) A claimant, in a State hospital for the insane, who is unable to shave, bathe, or dress himself, is incapacitated for performance of manual labor, and who ca"!! not be permitted to go alone out of his ward, requires such aid and attendance as is contemplated by the act of July 14, 1893, so as to be entitled to a pension at the rate of $.50 a month. 23 Restoration ; service ; act of June 27, 1890. Case of Joseph S. Ed- sall. No. 239. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 595.) 1. A pay clerk in the Navy is an officer in the naval service. 2. Appellant's name having been placed on pension roll under act of .June 2", 1890, and never formally dropped, he is entitled to pension for such period as he was not in military or naval service. Service ; Revenue Marines ; sec. 2757 R. S.; act of June 27, 1890. Case of David Oliver. No. 240. (Pension Decisions, vol. 7, p. 597.) 1. Those only are pensionable under section 2, act of June 27, or their widows and minor children under section 3, who were regularly enlisted men or officers in Army or Navy. 2. Those who served in the Revenue Marine on vessels whioh cooperated, by direction of the President, with the Navy, were not in the Navy, and . lOlU.

The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered Congressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58) ; that all the accumulated documents in the Departments not needed for official use be sent to him now and annually (sec. 67) ; that any public officer hav- ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61) ; — all point to such an intention. But thus far the law has been only partially operative. No public officer has desired to be relieved of the sale of books sufficiently to induce him to turn them over to this office. The cidlection of the accumulations from the Departments has not much more than begun. The decision whether 500 additional departmental publications shall be printed for this offict; or .500 shall be deducted from the dejjartmental editions has not been made. Consequently many of the current documents noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not ]>e sup- plied by this office, while of the older documents, of which many thou- sands are here on sale, no catalogue can be furnished. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superintendent of Documents is compara- tively undeveloi>ed. But its development is progressing steadily, if not rapidly, and in the fullness of time all the results contemplated in the passage of the law by which this office was created may be realized. The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed be- fore the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no attempt had been made to collect them and make a combined statement for the heneiit of general buyers. It is believed that the following statement describes most of their important features. It is made, however, subject to correction as further information may be received. The volumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the I'nited States, perhaps the most important of all public documents, have never been published by the Government. They are published by the official reporter of the Court, through a private publishing house. There is a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to 300 in all, shall be furnished to various departments of the Government at $2.00 per volume, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $5.00 per A'olume. The cases in suits to which the United States are a party are also printed by contract at a private printing house. Only those docu- ments of the Supreme Court which are printed at the Government Printing Office are noted m this Catalogue, and they are but a small part of the whole. They are printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court and attorneys, and no provision is made for their dis- tribution or sale. By far the greater part of the publications used in the proceedings of the Court are printed by jirivate litigants at their own cost. Occasionally, when a litigant pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done at the Government Printing Office at public expense. 3 The dociiinents of the Court of Claims are printed at the Government Printing Office, but only for the use of the Court and in very limited editions. They are not accessible to the }>ublic except by consent of the attorneys in interest. The Court makes an annual report to Con- gress, which is a public document, and its reports are printed in annual volumes, of which only a limited edition, for official use, is issued by the Court. Private publishers, however, may, and usually do, order from the Public Printer separate editions, which they otfer for sale. Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, varying in number, of nearly all kinds of Government publications, which are distri- buted on their order from the Senate and House folding and document rooms. Documents can often be obtained more promptly and cheajily by application to Members of Congress than to the Departments. The Department of State sells the Revised Statutes, Statutes at Large, and pamphlet laws. Address Disbursing Clerk, Deiiartmeut of State. If drafts are sent, make them payable to his order. The Bureau of the American Republics sells its own monthly bul- letins, handbooks, etc., at from 10c. to 50c. Address the Director of the Bureau. The weekly Catalogue of Copyrights, prepared by the Librarian of Congress, is published by the Department of the Treasury, but is not sold by that Department, nor by the Librarian. Those desiring it must subscribe at the office of the collector of customs for the district in which they live. The price is $5.00 per year. The Charts, Coast Pilots, and Tide-tables of the Coast and Geodetic Survey are sold at the office of the Survey, in Washington, and also by one or more sales agents in each of the important American seaports. The monthly Notice to Mariners may be bad free at these agencies, at all United States custom-houses, at the branch hydrographic offices of the Navy Dexiartment, and at the office of the Coast Survey. The Abstract of Sanitary Reports, issued weekly, showing health con- ditions in various parts of the country as reported by the officers of the Marine-Hosjiital Service and others, is for gratuitous distribution, but the edition is limited, and the document is intended only for health officers and other persons interested in sanitary affairs. To obtain it application should be made to the Supervising Surgeon-General of the Marine-Hospital Service, Treasury Department. The volumes of the Records of the War of the Rebellion are sold by the Department of War at 50c. to 85c. jier volume. Address Maj. Geoi-ge W. Davis, War Records Office, Department of War. The Post-Office Department sells the post-route maps, of which new editions are issued four times a year, corrected to the 1st day of March, June, Septeml)er, aud December. Orders should be addressed to the Disbursing Clerk, Post-Office Department, and money orders should be made payable to him. The Official Postal Guide is sold by George F. Lasher, the contractor for the printing, No. 147 Tenth street, Philadelphia. The Secretary of the Navy will sell the surplus copies of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies after the distribution ordered by law has been made. No copies are now available from this source and none may be for years to come. Only one volume has thus far been iiublished. A few copies of that, in sheep binding, may be had from the Superintendent of Documents at $1.40 per copy. The officer in finmediate charge of the publication, to whom inquiries may be addressed, is the Superintendent of Naval War Records, Navy Department. The Charts, Sailing Directions, etc., of the Hydrographic Office of the Department of the Navy are sold by the Office in Washington, aud also by agents at the principal American and foreign seaports and American lake ports. Copies of the weekly Notice to Mariners, weekly Hydro- graphic Bulletin, and monthly Notice to Mariners for the Great Lakes are supplied free on application at the Hydrographic Office in Washing- ton and at the branch offices in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Norfolk, Savannah, New Orleans, i^an Francisco, Portland (Oreg.), Port Towuseud, Obicago, and Cleveland. Tlie same offices also supply tlie Light List and the Beacon and Buoy List issued bj' the Light -House Board. It should be noted that there are four kinds ot Notices to Mariners — one issued at fre(iuent but irregular intervals by the Light-House Board (Treasury Department); one issued monthly by the Coast Survey (Treasnry Department); and +wo by the Hydrographic Office (Navy 1 )epartment), one of these last being weekly lor the ocean and the other monthly for the Great Lakes. The Nautical Almanac and other astronomical publications are sold by the Sui)eriuteudent of the Nautical Almanac, Department of the Navy, and by agents of the Nautical Almanac ofiice in New York, Phibidelphia, Boston, New Orleans, I'ortlaud (Oreg.), Baltimore, San Francisco, London, Paris, and Berlin. The price of the Almanac is $L00, and it is issued three yeais in advance. Paper-covered editions are si>ld for half this price by tlie agents, but only the cloth edition is sold by the office itself. The Decisions of the Department of the Interior in land cases and iii pension cases are issued in slips and signatures at 10c. each, and in liound volumes at ])rices ranging from $L0.5 to .^1.45 per volume. Sub- scribers may deposit $L00, either in the Department or in the Pension Office or the General Land Office, and receive the contents of a volume of the Decisions in sejiarate parts as they appear. Of the Land Deci- sions usually two volumes are issued yearly, while the Pension-Decision volumes ajipear at longer intervals, sometimes more than two years apart. Orders for the publications of the Tenth and Eleventh Censuses (1880 and 1890) should be sent to the chief clerk of the Department of the Interior, indorsed '■Document Division." The various bureaus of the Department of the Interior have extensive and important lists of publications, which may be ordered from the Department or directly from the liureaus. These include the issues of the Pension, Patent, and Laud offices, the Geological Survey, and the Bureau of Education. The pulilicatious of the Geological Survey include annual reports, monograi>hs, Imlletius, and atlases, which cost from 2.5c. to $4.50 each. Address the Director of the Survey, Washington. The Patent Office publishes specifications and drawings of patents, both in single copies and monthly volumes, the former at 10c. and the latter at $10.00. For certified copies of Patents, including specification, drawing, certificate, and grant, the price is 85c. The weekly Official Gazette is sold at 10c. a copy or $5.00 a year. It contains lists of the new patents, numbering about 450 a week. A variety of indexes, giving a complete view of the vast work of the office from 1790 to date, are published at prices ranging from 25c. to $10.00 per volume. 'J'he Kules of Practice and pamphlet Patent Laws are furnished free. Sets of the specifications and ditiwings of patents will be furnished to any public library which will pay transportation on them, provide proper custody, make them conveniently accessible to the public, and bind them to cor- respond with the bound volumes in the Patent Otfice. The Patent Office issues coupon orders, ten for $1.00, each of which will be received for one sjiecification and drawing or for one copy of the Official Gazette. They are good until used. Address the Chief Clerk, Patent Office. Such publications of the Bureau of Education as are in print may be had gratuitously by addressing the Commissioner of Education. The (ieneral Land Office publishes separate State maps of the States in which public lands are to be found, and also a large general map of the United States, said to be the best map of the country published, which is sold at $1.25. Address the Commissioner of the General Land Office. The publications of the Department of Agriculture are for free distri- bution, except those of the Weather Bureau, which are sold. The Department has no list to which all its publications are sent. It issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed to all applicants, enabling- them to select such reports and Ijulletins as interest them, which will be mailed to them on receipt of their application therefoi- by the Secretary of Agriculture. For the pnblicatioiis of the Weather BureaiT, however, application should be made to the Chief of that Bureau. The serial publications of the Department are not intended for general distribution. Requests for them are referred to the divisions from which they are issued, and instructions are then sent as to how tlie publications may be regularly secured. There are two Bureaus of Statistics— one in the Department of State, which issues the monthly Consular Reports, and the other in the Dep.-irt- ment of the Treasury, which issues the Monthly Statements of Fiuame, Commerce, and Imniigration. There is also a Division of Statistics in the Department of Agriculture, which issues the monthly Crop Re]i<>rt. In its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian Institu- tion publishes this note: "The publications of the Smithsonian Insti- tution consist of Contributions to Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections, and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale. The edition of volumes of Contributions and Collections is limited, and is distributed to desig- nated public libraries and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition of some of the papers in the above publications is printed for sale or exchange. Those at present availal»le are enumer- ated in the accompanying list. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum application should be made to Members of Congress. For rei)orts, etc., of the Bureau of Ethnology application should be made to Members of Congress or to the Director of the Bureau." The " accompanying list " contains 479 titles, of which 222 are priced at from 2c. to $7. .50 each. The annual report is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the others are paid for from the private funds of the Institution. The publications of the Department of Labor and the Fish Commission are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and through Members of Congress, but they are in so much demand that back numbers are scarce and ditticnlt to obtain, while complete sets iire practically unattainable. The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its reports free to all applicants. The Government Printing Office sells the Monthly Statements oi Finance, Commerce, and Immigration, compiled by the Bureau of Sta- tistics of the Department of the Treasury ; the Congressional Record, from the beginning of the Fiftieth Congress to date; the set of State Constitutions and Colonial Charters; Poore's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; the Reports of the Fish Connnission; the Reports on the Paris Exposition; the Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office; the Polaris Arctic Expedition; Hall's Arctic Expedition; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other Powers, 1776-1887; Second and Third Annual Reports of the Geological Survey; Fishing Industries of the United States, five vol- umes; Report of Silver Commission, 1876; International Monetary Con- ference, 1881; and United States Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery Drill Regulations. Remittances to the Public Printer should be made always by postal money order. The Geological Survey and the War Records Office will receive currency as well as postal orders if the exact amount be sent. The State Department will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as money orders or currency. None of the Departments or Bureaus will receive" individual checks or postage stamps in payment for books. All the Government offices which have books for sale issue price lists, which will be sent free to all applicants. Except for some of the ])iib- lications of the Hydrographic Office, the prices charged are never more than cost and 10 per cent added, and frequently much less than th;it. All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may be bought, will be forwarded to the purchaser free of postage. The provision of law as to the publication and distribution of this Monthly Catalogue is that "2,000 copies shall be printed in pamphlet form for distribution."' There is no direction as to who shall make the distribution nor to whom it shall be made. Thus far tlie Superintendent of Documents has exercised liis own discretion in the ijremises. In pur- suance of this discretion copies of each issue have been sent to the Sen- ators, Representatives, and Delegates of the Fifty-fourth Congress, to the designated depository libraries, to those Government Departments, Bureaus, and offices that issue public documents, to the officers of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. (by request of the Chief of the Corps), and, finally, to those citizens who have asked for them. No arbitrary list of names of people who. have expressed no interest in public documents has been made up. Only those unofficial citizens who were known to want tlie Catalogue have been supplied with it. By pui'suiug this course, the small edition has thus far been saved from entire exhaus- tion, and it is still possible to send all the numbers free of charge to thos^ who ask for them. It is probable, however, that it will soon be found necessary to adopt fiome more restrictive rule thau that of "first come, first served," which has thus far been followed. Re(iuesfs for Catalogues have been received from every part of this country and from several foreign countries, and every mail brings an increasing number of such requests. This statement is made in answer to inquiries for information as to the method of pnblicatiou and distribution of the Catalogue. SALES OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS Section 61 of the act providing for the public printing and binding and the distribution of public documents, apjiroved January 12, 1895, provides as follows : "The Superintendent of Documents is hereby authorized to sell at cost any public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only oue copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any officer of the Crovernment having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them under the provisions of this section." In accordance with the foregoing provisions, in-ices are fixed on the documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where publicaticuis are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists nave been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. Exce^jt as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding- increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The cost of paper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c. to 30c. per volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume for octavos and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00 per volume. AUTHORITY FOR PUBLICATION This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with tlie provisions of section 69 of the act hereinbefore quoted, which is as follows: " Sec. 69. A catalogue of Government publications shall be prepared by the Superintendent of Documents on the first day of each month, which shall show the documents printed during the preceding month, where obtainable, and the price thereof. Two thousand copies of such catalogue shall be printed in pamjihlet form for distribution." Congress of the United States SENATE Executive Documents. Vol. 2 (in 2 pts.).

The provisions that 500 copies of each of the various departmental publications of every kind, as well as of the numbered Cougressional documents, shall be sent to him (sec. 58) ; that all the accumulated docuiuents in the Departments not needed for official use be sent to him now and annually (sec. 67) ; that any public officer hav- ing documents for sale may turn them over to him (sec. 61); — all point to such an intention. But thus far the law has been only partially operative. No public officer has desired to be relieved of the sale of books sufficiently to induce him to turn them over to this office. The collection of the accumulations from the Departments has not much more than begun. The decision whether 500 additional departmental publications shall be printed for this office or 500 shall be deducted from the departmental editions has not been made. Conse([uently many of the current documents noted in the Monthly Catalogue can not be sup- plied by tills office, while of the older documents, of which many thou- sands are here on sale, no catalogue can be furnished. Thus the selling function of the office of the Superintendent of Documents is compara- tively undeveloped. But its development is progressing steadily, if not rapidly, and in the fullness of time all the results contemplated in the passage of the law by which this office was created may be realized. The arrangements for disposing of public documents which existed be- fore the passage of the new law are still in operation. They are extremely varied, and before the advent of the Monthly Catalogue no attempt had been made to collect them and make a combined statement for the bonetit of general buyers. It is believed that the following statement describes most of their important features. It is made, however, subject to correction as further information may be received. The volumes of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, perhaps the most important of all public documents, have never been published by the Government. They are published by the official reporter of the Court, through a private publishing house. There is a statutory provision that a number of copies, amounting to 300 in all, shall be furnished to various Departments of the Government free of cost, and that the price to the public shall not exceed $2.00 per volume. The cases in suits in which the United States are not plain- tiff in error or appellant are also printed by contract at a private print- ing house. Only those documents of the Supreme Court which are printed at the Government Printing Office are noted in this Catalogue, and they are but a small part of the whole. They are printed in very limited editions for the use of the Court and attorneys, and no provision is made for their distribution or sale. By far the greater part of the publications used in the proceedings of the Court are printed by private litigants at their own cost. Occasionally, when a litigant pleads poverty, the Court makes an order that his printing shall be done at the Govern- ment Printing Office at public expense. 3 The documents of the Court of Claims are printed at the Government Printing Office, but only for the use of the Court, and in very lijuited editions. They are not accessible to the ])ublic except by consent of the attorneys in interest. The Court makes an annual report to Con- gress, which is a public document, and its findings are printed in annual volumes, of which only a limited edition, for otHcial use, is issued by the Court. Private publishers, however, may, and usually do, order from the Public Printer separate editions, which they offer for sale. Senators and Representatives in Congress have allotments, varying in number, of nearly all kinds of Government publications, which are dis- tributed on their order from the Senate and House folding and document rooms. Documents can often be obtained more j^romptly and cheaply by application to Members of Congress than to the Departments. The Department of State sells the Revised Statutes, Statutes at Large, and pamphlet laws. Address Disbursing Clerk, Department of State. If drafts are sent, make them payable to his order. The Bureau of the American Republics sells its own monthly bul- letins, handbooks, etc., at from 10c. to 50c. Address the Director of the Bureau. The weekly Catalogue of Copyrights, prepared by the Librarian of Congress, is published by the Department of the Treasury, but is not sold by that Department, nor by the Librarian. Those desiring it must subscribe at the otitice of the collector of customs for the district in which they live. The price is $5.00 per year. The Charts, Coast Pilots, and Tide-tables of the Coast and Geodetic Survey are sold at the office of the Survey, in Washington, and also by one or more sales agents in each of the important American seaports. The monthly Notice to Mariners may be had free at these agencies, at all United States custom-houses, at the branch hydrographic offices of the Navy Department, and at the office of the Coast Survey. The Abstract of Sanitary Reports, issued weekly, showing health con- ditions in various parts of the country as reported by the officers of the Marine-Hospital Service and others, is for gratuitous distribution, but the edition is limited, and the document is intended only for health officers and other persons interested in sanitary affairs. To obtain it application should be made to the Supervising Surgeon-General of the Marine-Hospital Service, Treasury Department. The volumes of the Records of the War of the Rebellion are sold by the Department of War at 50c. to 85c. per volume. Address Maj. George W. Davis, War Records Office,^ Department of War. The Post-Office Department'sells the post-route maps, of which new editions are issued four times a year, corrected to the 1st day of March, June, September, and December. Orders should be addressed to the Disbursing Clerk, Post-Office Department, and money orders should be made payable to him. The Official Postal Guide is sold by George F. Lasher, the contractor for the printing. No. 147 Tenth street, Philadelphia. Tlie Secretary of the Navy will sell the surplus copies of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies after the distribution ordered by law has been made. No copies are now available from this source, and none may be for years to come. Only one volume has thus far been published. A few copies of that, in sheep binding, may be had from the Superintendent of Documents at $1.40 per copy. The officer in immediate charge of the publication, to whom inquiries may be addressed, is the Suiierinteudeut of Naval War Records, Navy Department. The Charts, Sailing Directions, etc., of the Hydrographic Office of the Department of the Navy are sold by the Office in Washington, and also by agents at the principal American and foreign seaports and American lake ports. Copies of the weekly Notice to "Mariners, weekly Hydro- graphic Bulletin, and monthly Notice to Mariners for the Great Lakes are supplied free on application at the Hydrographic Office in Washing- ton and at the branch offices in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Norfolk, Savannah, New Orleans, San Francisco, Portland (Oreg.), Port Townsend, Chicago, and Cleveland. The same offices also supply the Light List and the Beacon and Buoy List issued by the Light-House Board. It should be noted that there are four kinds of Notices to Mariners — one issued at frequent but irregular intervals by the Light-House Board (Treasury Department) ; one issued monthly by the Coast Survey (Treasury Department), and two by the Hydrographic Office (Navy Department), one of these last being weekly for the ocean and the other monthly for the Great Lakes. The Nautical Almanac and other astronomical piiblications are sold by the Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac, Department of the Nav3', and by agents of the Nautical Almanac office in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, Portland (Oreg.), Baltimore, San Francisco, London, Pans, and Berlin. The price of the Almanac is $1.00, and it is issued three years in advance. Paper-covered editions are sold for half this price by the agents, but only the cloth edition is sold by the office itself. The Decisions of the Department of the Interior in land cases and in pension cases are issued in slips and signatures at 10c. each, and in bound volumes at prices ranging from $1.05 to $1.45 per volume. Sub- scribers may deposit $1.00, either in the Department or in the Pension Office or the Ceneral Land Office, and receive the contents of a volume of the Decisions in separate parts as they appear. Of the Land Deci- sions usually two volumes are issued yearly, while the Pension-Decision volumes appear at longer intervals, sometimes more than two years apart. Orders for the publications of the Tenth and Eleventh Censuses (1880 and 1890) should be sent to the chief clerk of the Department of the Interior, indorsed '•'Document Division." The various bureaus of the Department of the Interior have extensive and important lists of publications, which may be ordered from the Department or directly from the bureaus. These include the issues of the Pension, Patent, and Laud offices, the Geological Survey, and the Bureau of Education. The publications of the United States Geological Survey include annual reports, which are intended for free distribution, and mono- graphs, bulletins, and folios of the Geologic Atlas of the United States, which cost from 5c. to $11.00 each. Address the Director of the Sur- vey, Washington. The Patent Office publishes specifications and drawings of patents, both in single copies and monthly volumes, the former at 10c. and the latter at $10.00. For certified copies of Patents, including specification, drawing, certificate, and grant, the price is 85c. The weekly Official Gazette is sold at 10c. a copy or $5.00 a year. It contains lists of the new jiatents, numbering about 450 a week. A variety of indexes, giving a complete view of the vast work of the office from 1790 to date, are published at prices ranging from 25c. to $10.00 per volume. 'I"he Kules of Practice and pamphlet Patent Laws are furnished free. Sets of the specifications and drawings of patents will be furnished to any public library which will pay transportation ou them, provide projier custody, make them conveniently accessible to the public, and bind them to cor- respond with the bound volumes in the Patent Office. The Patent Office issues coupon orders, ten for $1.00, each of which will be received for one specification and drawing or for one copy of the Official Gazette. They are good until used. Address the Chief Clerk, Patent Office. Such publications of the Bureau of Education as are in print may be had gratuitously by addressing the Commissioner of Education. The General Land Office publishes separate State maps of the States in which public lands are to be found, and also a large general map of the United States, said to be the best map of the country published, which is sold at $1.25. Address the C!onimissioner of the General Land Office. The publications of the Department of Agriculture are for free distri- bution, except those of the Weather Bureau, which are sold. The Dep.artment has no list to which all its publications are sent. It issues a montbly list of publications, which is mailed to all applicants, enabliui; them to select such reports and bulletins as interest them, which will be mailed to them on receipt of their application therefor by the Secretary of Agriculture. For the publications of the Weather Bureau, however, apjilication should be made to the Chief of that Bureau. The serial publications of the Department are not intended for general distribution. Requests for them are referred to the divisions from which they are issued, and instructions are then sent as to how the publications may be regularly secured. There are two Bureaus of Statistics — one in the Department of State, which issues the monthly C'onsuhir Reports, and the other in the Depart- ment of the Treasury, which issues the Montbly Statements of Finance, Commerce, and Immigration. There is also a Division of Statistics in the Department of Agriculture, which issues the monthly Crop Report. In its latest published catalogue and price list the Smithsonian Institu- tion publishes this note: "The jjublications of the Smithsonian Insti- tution consist of CoutriVmtionsto Knowledge, Miscellaneous Collections, and annual reports. No sets of these are for sale. The edition of volumes of Contril)utions and Collections is limited, and is distributed to desig- nated public libraries and to learned institutions in this country and abroad. A small edition of some of the papers in the above publications is printed for sale or exchange. Those at present availalile are enumer- ated in the accompanying list. For reports of the Institution or of the National Museum application should be made to Members of Congress. For reports, etc., of the Bureau of Ethnology application should be made to Members of Congress or to the Director of the Bureau." The " accompanying list " contains 479 titles, of which 222 are priced at from 2c. to $7.50 each. The annual report is the only Smithsonian publication that is a public document. All the others are paid for from the i^rivate funds of the Institution. The publications of the Department of Labor and the Fish Commission are distributed gratuitously through the heads of those Bureaus and through Members of Congress, luit they are in so much demand that back numbers are scarce and difficult to obtain, while complete sets are practically unattainable. The Interstate Commerce Commission sends its reports free to all aijplicants. The Government Printiug Office sells the Montlilj'^ Statements of Finance, Commei'ce, and Immigration, comi)iled by the Bureau of Sta- tistics of the Department of the Treasury; the Congressional Record, from the beginning of the Fiftieth Congress to date; the set of State Constitutious and Colonial Charters; Poore's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; the Reports of the Fish Commission; the Reports on the Paris Exposition ; tlie Catalogue of the Lil)rary of the Surgeon-Generars Office; the Polaris Arctic Expedition; Hall's Arctic Expedition; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other Powers, 1776-1887; Second and Third Annual Reports of the Geological Survey; Fishing Industries of the United States, five vol- umes; Report of Silver Commission, 1876; International Monetary Con- ference, 1881 ; and United States Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery Drill Regulations. Remittances to the Public Printer should be made always by postal money order. The Geological Survey and the War Records Office Avill receive currency as well as postal orders if the exact amount be sent. The State Department will receive drafts on New York or Washington banks, as well as money orders or currency. None of the Depai'tments or Bureaus will receive individual checks or postage stamps in payment for l)ooks. All the Government offices which have books for sale issue price lists, which will be sent free to all applicants. Except for some of the pub- lications of the Hydrographic Office, the prices charged are never more than cost and 10 per cent added, and frequently much less than that. All public documents, from whatever Department or Bureau they may be bought, will be forwarded to the purchaser free of postage. The iii'ovisiou of law as to the publication and distribution of this Monthly Catalogue is that "2,000 cojiies shall be printed in pamphlet form for distribution." There is no direction as to who shall make the distribution, nor to Avliom it shall be made. Tlius I'ar tlie Superintendent of Documents has exercised his own discretion in the premises. In pur- suance of this discretion copies of each issue have been sent to the Hen- ators, Representatives, and Delegates of the Fifty-fourth Congress, to the designated depositor^' libraries, to those Government Departments, bureaus, and ottices that issue public documents, to the officers of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. (by request of the Chief of the Corps), and, finally, to those citizens Avho have a.sked for them. No arbitrary list of names of people who have ex])ressed no interest in public documents has been made up. Only those unofficial citizens who were known to want the Catalogue have been supplied with it. By pursuing this course, the small edition has thus far been saved from entire exhaus- tiou, and it is still possible to send all the numbers free of charge to those who ask for them. It is probable, however, that it will soon be found necessary to adopt some more restrictive rule than that of "first come, first served," which has thus far been followed. Requests for Catalogues have been received from every part of this country and from several foreign countries, and e\ery mail brings an increasing number of such requests. This statement is made in answer to inquiries for information as to the method of publication and distribution of the Catalogue. SALES OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS Section 61 of the act providing for the public ^ninting and binding and the distribution of public documents, approved January 12, 1895, provides as follows: "The Superintendent of Documents is hereby authorized to sell atcost any public document m his charge, the distribution of which is not herein specifically directed, said cost to be estimated by the Public Printer and based upon printing from stereotyped plates; but only one copy of any document shall be sold to the same person, excepting libraries or schools by which additional copies are desired for separate departments thereof, and Members of Congress; and whenever any otiHcer of the Covernment having in his charge documents published for sale shall desire to be relieved of the same, he is hereby authorized to turn them over to the Superintendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them under the provisions of this section." In accordance with the foregoing provisions, prices are fixed on the documents named in the Catalogue. In those cases where publications are offered for sale by the Departments issuing them, and price lists have been issued, those prices have been adopted here. In other cases the prices have been computed on the basis fixed in the law as above quoted. Except as otherwise stated in the body of the Catalogue, these computed prices call for paper or cloth covers, and a corresponding increase will be made for books bound in leather or half leather. The cost of paper covers is about Ic. per volume; of cloth cases, from 10c. to 30c. i^er volume; of full sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 per volume for octavos and $1.50 for quartos; of half russia or half turkey, $1.00 per volume. AUTHORITY FOR PUBLICATION This Monthly Catalogue is issued in accordance with the provisions of section 6b of the act hereinbefore quoted, which is as follows: " Sec. 69.
