tiers this year as it never did before. The
tide of immigration has been turned across
its eastern borders and thousands of people
are planting their homes upon its prairies,
while other thonaands are coming on from
the east. The people of the Hills remem-
Der the rush of three years ago into that
region, when all roads leading to Deadwood
were crowded with westward moving col

the mountain tops were teeming with hu-
man life. The same scenes are now being
repeated here in eastern Dakota, only upon
a grander scale and with greater assurance

there are farms enough for them all.

years old, was standing on the end: of the
bridge assisting in putting out the FIRE, when
it fell, and the steam created by the burn
ing ends of the timbers striking the water,
burned the lad so severely that his life is
despaired Of. DR.. Stevens was called and is
doing all that can be done for him.

p this country. This correspondence is of
Evarts takes is that Sitting Bull has COM
mitted crimes and d~epreda,ions in this
country for which he would have been prop
erlv punished had it not been for his escape
to Canada, where a shelter was afforded him.
The fact that the Canadian authorities did
afford Sitting Bull shelter, Mr.. Evarts
|thinka, entities this government to hold the
Canadian government responsible for any
incursion that may be made upon this terri
tory BY Sitting Ball and his followers. The
cabinet people do not credit public state
ment attributed to Sheridan, belittling Sit.
ting BulPs capacity and powers. Gen.
Miles, who 10 here, and is continually con.
suited upon Indian matters, has informed
Secretary Evarts that he regards Sitting
Bull az the ablest and most powerful living
Indian chief, and ranks him with Tecumseh
and King Philip.
The United States forces on the border
have been 30 placed as. to. be able to keep a
strict watch upon the movements of the
Indians on this side, and also on the move
ments Of any from the other side who may
come near the border. The opinion ID en-
tertained in official circles here that If the
Indians contemplate a hostile movement
they are maturing their plans secretly, so as
TO prevent them from becoming more than
an object of suspicion to either the Cana
dian or United States forces. Every effort
will, however, be made by both sides to as
certain the secrets of the Indian camp.
Gen. Miles, commanding the United States
forces on the American side Of the Canadian
border, will leave here about April l, to
join his command. At army headquarters
the opinion is entertained that we will, at
the proper time and place, have a sufficient
force to make a final settlement with Sitting
Bull, in case he should conclude to pay us
a visit,

Washington, March 2S.-The western
foyer" which seems suddenly tn have
broken out among the negroes of the cot
ton belt, attracts a great deal of attention
here. There Ia even danger that General
Chalmers colored supporters may move
out OF the "shoc-strinR" district In such
numbers that We will not again he relutn-
ed 10 congress. The seat Of the movement
seems to BE- In that district, where the col.
ored population il three TO one of the

The Kansas movement is not q new
thing with tho blacks, as they have been
for several years going into. that state from
! Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri At the
rate of 1000 to 1900 annually; but it is
only within . few weeks that the now has
been 80 large as to attract attention here.
Leading colOred men in Washington think
that the movement has been accelerated into
noticeable proportions by Senator Win.
dom's speech in thes senate, which reached
the colored people of the interior in greatly
cape from their unfortunate situation in the
cotton states, they nov off westward
without counting all the costs,
Kansas is the fsvorite state, for the rea.
son that the land is fertile. and plenty Of it,
and the climate not rigid. Besides, Kan
sas is q republican state from the free choice
Of its people, and the persuasive arguments
of the pistol and shot gun are not tolerated
as political factors.
Kansas people are divided in sentiment
as to whether this movement is q good thing
for their state. The movement is so steady,
and with no signs of Stacking, that it is
computed the state will contain 10000 col
ored people by the end of next year, or gay
of the population. Should the
continue some years in its pres
ent proportions, there is nc estimating what
the ultimate result may be az affecting
population.
Democrats here good humoredly declare
that they have lost hope Of ever seeing
Kansas a democratic state. With a heavy
majority to begin with, and republican
voters pouring in at the rate of 300 a day.
it is useless to hope for democratic gains in
that quarter. 1t is suggested that, if a quo.
rum Of General Chalmers colored support
er, should move into Kansas, he might 60
there also and run for congress, thus putting
the question squarelv to the test whether
colored men will vote for a bourbon demo.
crat when they have half a chance to vote
otherwise.
