Browning, commissioner of Indian affairs, has made bis annual report to the Secretary of the Interior. lie says with no outbreak or disturbance during the year, the progress of Indians generally in education and civilization has been uninterrupted ami substantial. The malueffort now Ls and for many years must be to put the Indian on bis allotment, get him to support himself there, protect him from encroachment atul Injustice aud educate and traiu bis children in books and industries. As a tlrst step, so far ns treaty obligations do not interrupt by requiring the paymeut of moneys and issuance of rations aud aunuities, the Indlunsare given to understand that the government will uot feed and clothe them while they romaiu in idle: ess. Such funds assure available for the purpose are devoted to starting Indians in hones. If ail Indiau wtll go upon an allotment and work to Improve It the government will assist him in building a house and getting his farm in operation and makiiii* ii nriifti<*iii f.irmrr. The commissioner says the government goes further nud pays the Indian fcr his work. The regular Indian employes of the government w< to paid last year ?500.000. The diversity of ernfti and Industries are the outgrowth of advanoed civilization. The reports from Indian agents, lie says, shows that In liana, in innnv different ways, are coining to earn tlnfir living. They have supplies for the government, raise crops to sell, raise and sell livo stock, work in the woods and on Irrigation duties, and in many minor ways contribute to their own subsistence. The entire Indian service, with lew exceptions, is m w under civil service regulations. Exceptions tire made as to Indiau9 who ure employed under uon-competttive examinations. Progress in educating the Indians is reported to he very satisfactory In spite of many difficulties encountered. The enrollment during the year was 23,352, au Increase of 315 over the previous year. The average attendance increased 852. The reduction of the uumbor of eoutract schools have been made In accordance with provisions of the- lust Indian appropriation > 111. and in 1SH7 there will bo an expenditure f ?257.!'28 on this account, against ?403,505 this year. lt.e commissioner urges the passage of the hill now pending In Congress to prohibit the sale of Ihpior to Indians who have become citizen.-. He says the correspondence in his otflce shows that the Indians In the West and Northwest, who have received allotments, re becoming demoralized by the liquor traffic. the commissioner reviews at length tho disturbances at Jackson's Hole, Wy., and says steps have heen taken to prevent any conflict between Indians and local authorities. STARTS WEST AGAIN. Bryan Talks Finance in West Virginia--A Few Words to Marylanders. At Murtlnsburg, W. Va., last Wednesday, W. J. Bryan addressed a large assemblage of farmers on ilnance. Ho gave them io understand that boltocrats could never come back Into the fold until they came In sack-cloth ami nsnos. After leaving Martlnsburg his next stop was nt Ilancocb, Md. A largo crowd had assembled at the station to greet him, and they would not bo content until ho had spoken. He did so from tho reur platform, saying: "Ladiesand Gentlemen: I am glad to see you and I only wish It were posslOlo for me to go iuto every pchool district and present tho questions which are at Issue in this campaign. I hellcvo thut we are are advocating potieles which will commend themselves to tho judgment of agroat majority of the American people und all that we need is to have those policies discussed and understood. I have an abiding faith in the Intelligence of the people and in their desire to do the best thing, but It Is necessary that questions should be brought before the people before they can form an opinion upon them. Our opponents are not only opposed to free coinage, but they are opposed to agitation, which means that they are opposed to discussion ; and the man who is opposed to the discussion ! of public questions in a country like tills is J not acquainted with the principles of the 1 institutions under which wo live. (Applause.) "There Is no way to remedy a wrong except by dsscussing It until the people understand it and use the ballot to roue ly it. Tho 1 greatest criticism that I have ever made ugainst our people Is that they are too often indifferent to policies presented by parties ami to the conduct of public servants. My ideals that a public servant is simply employed by the people to do a certain work and that he ought either to do the work or step aside and let somebody else do it. And more than that, that while a candidate goes before the people and tells them what he believes, and what he will do if they elect him. thoy are the solo judges as to whether he ought to bo elected or not and that he cannot complain at their Indecision because they are the ones to be consulted and not he. In going about over thecountry, I have presented from time to time our eauso as I understand j it. Whether It results iu my election or do font h ft mutter of very little consequence, i but I do believe that the American people outfit to i?c concerned as to the policy of this government ftuil that tliey ought to make that Interest manifest at the ballot box Although I cannot make a silver speech now you an make a silver speech on election day. (Applause.) At Clarksburg Mr. Bryau delivered n speech tit the fair grounds. It was a great demonstration, and one of tho biggest days that Clarksburg had had in many a day. At Parkersburg he addressed another largo assemblage. Excursion trains were run from every point to hour him. Ho also made stops at other points, making short talks from tho roar platform. Mr. Bryan's itinerary thorough the West is being arranged by the Democratic National Bureau of Speakers, but it Is known, howaver. that lie will speak six days lu Illinois, commencing October 21st, and thut lie may bo in the State ten days. Arrangements are being made to carry iihn to all tho principal towns in the State by a special train.

He was accompanied by a committee from Tammany Hall, who had gone to Bridgeport, Conn., to meet him. About 200 persons sheered him at the hotel entrance and he tipped his hat and smiled tn recognition, lie went direct to his room, and there, later, dialer was served. Mr. Bryan's attention was sailed to the burning of the Burus factory at Worcester, Mass., and to the suggestion contained in dispatches that the building may have been set ou lire by some one who felt ! Indignant at the aetiou of Mr. Burus, last , Friday, in permitting the hauglng out of a ! red llag with Ma. Bryan's picture on it. Mr. Bryan said: There is nothing that I core to say on the subject. 1 do not believe that Mny advocato sf free silver would do barm to Mr. Burns jr to bis property.

Evidently New Haven wished to make amends for the reception Mr. Bryan received there last week, for the depot sheds covered % muss of enthusiastic humanity. The citizens were there in force, both in point of number and in volume of lung-power. Mr. Bryan spoke to them only a moment, but iu that momeut he gave thetn opportunity to ilsclalm any participation iu the riotous demonstration of tho collegians.

Telegraphies communication between Savannah und Florida has not been roestablished since the hurricane of Tuesday snapped the wires as it came rushing northward from the gulf. The advices which havo renchod Savannah of the storm's work in Florida cover the State pretty fully, but have come by mail. Tho blow came ashore from the gulf on the coast lino extending from Tampa to Cedar Keys, Tampa getting only tho edge of tho tilow, Its path across the State was a narrow one, though a largo area seems to havo t>een affected in greater or leas degree by what might be called tho edges of tho storm. The registry of tho velocity of the wind at the Government weather bureau at Jacksonville showed tho romurknblo and unprecedented record of nearly 100 miles nu hour, t ils terrific gale fortunately lasted for only about a u inute, but for five minutes of which it was a part tho velocity was shown to be rather more than 70 miles an hour. The path of the greatest severity of the storm seems to have b?<on not more than about 40 miles wide. After passing over a strip of territory tying witnui me nortnern part or tho State, the storm, according to the weather authorities, passed ou to tho Atlantic o >a?t, which It followed north. The storm passed around Tampa and the re was hut very little damage resulting from wind, hut the high tides played havoc and several thousaLd dollars' damage was done to property along the hay. The tide overllowed Port Tampa City, and the lower lloors of many houses were underwater. At Jacksonville the damage was confined to the demolition of trees, electric wires and signs. At Oraey the loss to timber interests will reach ?500,000. Callahan reports that Imrns, sheds, a number of dwellings and two churches are entirely torn to pieces. Two Savannah, Florida and \V?wtern rallwvy buildings were unroolted. As near us can he estimated tho loss will amount to ?2,000. At McClewny the Baptist church and severnl stores were blown flat. At Gainesville there wore several buildings demolished. In Brunford the Presbyterian and Methodist churches were blown to tho grouud. Fort White caught the full force of the Now. Nearly every store and dwelling In town was more or less damaged. High Springs c a m-th i air monster scorched through the town at the rate of 100 miles au hour. Trees and houses went down like cardboards, and only half a dozen houses nre left to point out the Investigator a once orospcrous town. Womou had children blown out of their arms and men were knocked down I ke ninepins. How much damage was done at Cedar K?ys has not been learned. It is not probable, however, that the storm proved morn destructive there than at other points in the State. Other towns in Florida felt the forco of the blow, but the damage done was trivial. None of the famous large hotels suffered to an extent worm mentioning, ami It la hollovod that tho above story eovers tho path of tho Mow in tho Htato so fully that thoro is vory llttlo loft untold.

Tho great miners' strike, which has kept Lendvillo, Cal.. in a turmoil for nearly two months and which resulted in tho killing of flvo men recently ami the sub-placing of tho city under martial law is ended. A meeting of tho strikers has been held under tire supervision of militia and after the a stormy sos ion. it was finally decided that tho men return to work at the old schedule of prices providing tho mine owners would agroo to give them their old places. A committee of five was appointed to confer with the mine owners, and as it genernlly believed that outside of the ono or two mines that have started up with non union men, the old men will bo takeu back. No further trouble is expected. The strike was t fie outcome of the organization of the miners by tho Western Federation of Miners, and almost every miner was in the union when their demands were made and refused. Tho miners asked $3 a day for all classes of workmen, including surface and underground men. This the owners declared they would not pay and nearly all of them closed down, several even allowing tho pumps to stop. Tho employers remained willing to continue paying the wages which had prevailed up to that time. Under that scale, surface workers were paid only ?2.50. Practically the only change the union demanded was tho advance of this ClllMX of m#?n to A Knther Light Oay.
