Catalogue of United States Public Documents
Issued Monthly
BY THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
Government Printing Office
Washington
Government Printing Office
1895
NOTE.—Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for information, but do not appear on the title pages of the publications catalogued.
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 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.
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 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 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 provisions of this section, 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. In all cases the prices here given call for paper or cloth covers, and a proportionate increase will be made for books in other kinds of binding. The cost of paper covers is about 1c. a volume; of cloth binding, from 10c. to 30c. a volume: of sheep binding, from 75c. to $1.15 a volume for octavos and $1.50 for quartos: of half turkey binding, $1.00 a volume.
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 expected that it will be able to supply all ordinary demands for the purchase of the current documents and most demands for copies of the older documents. 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 American Republics, attached to the State Department, sells its own publications.
The Treasury Department sells the publications of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Monthly Statements of Finance, Commerce, and Immigration, made by the Bureau of Statistics, the latter at 15c. each, or $1.80 per year. The weekly Catalogue of Copyrights is published but not sold by the Treasury Department. It must be subscribed for through the collector of customs of the district in which the subscriber lives. The subscription price is $5.00 per year.
The War Department sells the Rebellion Record.
The Post-Office Department sells the post-route maps.
The Navy Department sells the Naval War Record and the publications of the Nautical Almanac Office and the Hydrographic Office.
The Interior Department sells the publications of the Census Office, the Decisions and the maps of the General Land Office; the reports, maps, monographs, and bulletins of the Geological Survey; the Decisions of the Pension Office, and the numerous issues of the Patent Office. The average number of specifications of newly issued patents printed weekly is 450. They are sold at 10c. each. A list of them appears weekly in the Patent Office Gazette, for which the subscription price is $5.00 per year. The Land Decisions are numerous enough to make two volumes a year, usually of from 500 to 700 pages, and are sold at from $1.05 to $1.45. The volumes of Pension Decisions appear at irregular intervals, sometimes more than two years apart. They are sold at from 85c. to $1.10 each. Advance subscriptions at the rate of $1 a volume are received for both the Land Decisions and the Pension Decisions, in return for which the separate decisions are sent in unbound form as fast as issued.
The Government Printing Office sells the Congressional Record; the set of State Constitutions and Colonial Charters; Poor's Descriptive Catalogue of Government Publications; the reports of the Fish Commission; 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, 5 volumes; Report of Silver Commission, 1876; International Monetary Conference, 1881; and United States Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery Drill Regulations.
All other Government publications, including the long and important list of the Agricultural Department, are issued for gratuitous distribution.

Treasury Dept. Doc. 1761.
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 underact of July 5, 1884. as part of abandoned military reservation.
In disposal of lands in abandoned military reservations, under act of Aug. 23, 1894, the time fixed for installment payments authorized by said act, and the interest thereon, should be uniform for all reservations opened to settlement under said act.
Additional homestead entry under act of Mar. 2, 1889, is limited in acreage to an amount which, added to the quantity previously entered, shall not exceed 169 acres.
Application for leave of absence will not be granted if it does not affirmatively appear that the applicant has shown good faith in residence upon and cultivation of land up to date of application.
Application to enter land covered by existing entry of another 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.
Application for patent based on alleged purchase of tract will not be granted, where, owing to war of 1861, there is no official record.
Rule 85 of practice provides for a period of suspension of the Commissioner's decision in cases where right of appeal is denied, but is no limitation on power of Secretary to grant 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.
Possessory claim under coal-land act must be maintained and asserted in good faith and for use 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.
Board of equitable adjudication has no authority to waive requirement of statute that permits commutation of a homestead only after period of fourteen months' residence and cultivation from date of entry, and confirm entry allowed in contravention of said statutory requirement.
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 transferee to show that entry under which he claims was improperly canceled.
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 disclose the fact that entryman had disposed of land covered by his claim prior to submission of final proof and payment of purchase price.
The fact that land is subdivided into 40-acre tracts does not operate to confine 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.
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.
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.
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 certain of these lands, contemplates confirmation of settlement claims otherwise invalid, but is not intended to excuse such settlers from payment required from others.
Suspended entry does not run during period of suspension, but dot's run from its date to suspension, and then again, as if without interruption, from date of order revoking suspension to expiration of term.
Provisions of section 7 of act of Mar. 3, 1891, fixing price of desert lands at $1.25 per acre, are applicable to desert entry made prior to passage of said act, but not perfected until after.
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.
Where homesteader applies to enter land situated in two land districts, and files simultaneously in each district application for specific subdivision lying within said land district, and one of said applications is allowed and the other rejected on account of suspension of township, the rejected application may be revived and allowed as of original date, on the removal of the suspension, and where it appears that applicant has remained in possession of land and no adverse claim exists.
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 possible time may elapse from date of application to final judgment.
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.
Secretary of Interior may direct the withdrawal of land from 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 be allowed State.
Pending determination on appeal of right to make homestead entry, applicant 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 improvements where land is covered by prior uncanceled homestead entry of another who is in possession.
Leave of absence, regularly granted by local office and not disapproved by General Land Office, serves to protect settler while in effect and his absence thereunder 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 affirmatively established to warrant favorable action thereon. Failure of homesteader to make a living on his land is not necessarily evidence of lack of good faith. Homestead law does not define character or value of improvements required at hands of settler.
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 occupied subsequent thereto.
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 underact 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, adverse 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 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.
Occupancy of a small portion of a subdivision of public land, under form 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 occupancy does not render entry speculative nor bring it within intent of statute 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 considered where entry is found regular and legal.
Homestead entry, based on preliminary affidavit executed before clerk of court on false allegation of "distance" from land office, 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.
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 therefor, selection may stand on condition that company relinquish basis.
Order directing sale of an island as an isolated tract excludes the land from appropriation under the homestead law.
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 substitute cash in lieu of the canceled warrant.
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 $500 on each claim, except where it is shown that improvement on one of such claims is for common benefit of all.
Town-lot claimant who vacates lot in obedience to award made by a citizens' committee can not be held by such action to have voluntarily abandoned his claim.
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 land office is disqualified from acquiring title.
Entryman who fails to appeal from decision canceling his entry and permits said decision to become final is not entitled to reinstatment of his entry in the presence of an intervening adverse right.
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.
Entry may be confirmed 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 docs not defeat confirmation under said section.
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.
Failure 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 preemption 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.
Appeal will not be entertained in absence of clear specification of errors.
Provisions of rule 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.
In ordering a rehearing the Commissioner may direct submission of testimony taken at former hearing.
A party in whose interest a rehearing has been ordered, who does not submit evidence, but relies on a technical defense, must abide by his election in event of unfavorable judgment.
On denial of motion for review of a decision that refuses reinstatement of an entry, the land involved is thereupon subject to entry.
Application to purchase timber land does not operate to segregate the land.
Secretary of Interior will not interfere with discretion of Commissioner in refusing to order a hearing unless there is an abuse of discretion.
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.
As prerequisite to service by publication it must appear that personal service can not be obtained; in absence of such showing order for publication is not authorized.
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 Commissioner.
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.
Where a preemptor dies leaving an unperfected preemption claim, it is lawful for the minor heirs to transmute the filing to a homestead entry.
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.
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 company 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.
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 authority in the establishment of an Indian res ervation; and lands so reserved are excepted from the operation of the grant and revert to the public domain on cession thereof by Indians.
Right to perfect title by licensees of a railroad company descends to the heirs of the licensee.
Repayment may be granted where final proof is held insufficient and entry canceled if it appears that entryman acted in good faith.
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.
Failure of the local office, 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.
Right to make a second homestead entry may be recognized when first is relinquished on account of arid and unproductive character of land.
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.
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.
Standing of one who files soldier's declaratory statement for a tract covered 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 relinquishment 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.
Land lying between a properly established meander line of a lake and shore line of water is not unsurveyed land.
Timber-culture entry is limited to one-fourth the land embraced in section except where such entry is of a technical quarter section.
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.
Under a purchase of untimbered Umatilla land, where payments therefor are made in time, but proof with respect to residence and cultivation is unsatisfactory, the entry is not defeated thereby, but should be suspended until purchaser may furnish proof.
Use of land for grazing purposes by entryman is sufficient compliance with law as to cultivation, if land is better minted to such use than to raising crops; and it is not material whether stock is property of entryman.
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 applicant, 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 sufficient assets to meet such expense.
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.
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 prosecute the claim to adjudication.
2. If the claim be rejected and he desires to file evidence with a view to reopening, or to appeal, he must obtain a power of attorney from the widow or person next in order of succession.
Inability to earn support by manual labor is the sole basis of pension under section 2 of act of June 27, 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.
1. Where a claim for pension under section 2 of act of June 27, 1890, is rejected, attorney of record is allowed ninety days to take steps necessary to reopening.
2. 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 considered 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 recognition who first files a sufficient declaration and valid power of attorney.
Where an attorney filed an application for pension under act of June 27 1890, alleging disability resulting in partial inability to earn support by manual labor, and does not neglect the claim, and another attorney files a declaration 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.
Father of deceased soldier has no pensionable status under act of June 27, 1890, during the lifetime of soldier's mother.
Soldier's mother who has remarried after his death, and filed claim for de pendent mother's pension subsequent to July 1, 1880, and prior to June 27, 1800, has no pensionable status.
Claim was filed October 9, 1889, while claimant was in desertion, and there fore had no status. Claimant was finally discharged Septemper 15, 1892; his pension was properly made to commence at the date of filing a declaration after he was discharged.
1. Enlistments in loyal States after Apr. 13, 1865, will not be deemed enlistments in or for the war of the rebellion.
2. Enlistment in any other of the States, Territories, or District of Columbia made after June 1, 1865, of white or colored troops, will not be deemed an enlistment in or for the war of the rebellion.
3. Enlistments in the United States Navy after July 1, 1865, were not enlistments in or for the war of the rebellion.
NOTE.—This is one of the most important of the series of pension decisions, as it fixes the official date of the closing of the civil war.
When a nonspecific becomes a permanent specific disability, claimant is entitled to the proper rate of pension upon the date it becomes such, regardless of the date of medical examination.
NOTE.—No. 218, originally issued in April, was recalled for further consideration, and has not yet been reissued.

NOTE.—These maps, projected without reference to political divisions, are designated by some prominent feature found on them. They are of uniform 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 geologists 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, Rhode 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.
