EXPORTS,

THE Secretary Of the Interior has
decided to reopen for settlement q
large tract Of agricultural land, en-
braoing about 100000 acres, in
Northern Dakota, which was with
drawn from settlement several years
ago by Secretary SchurE. This tract
ONCE formed a part Of the great Sioux
reservation, but was purchased by the
government from hat tribe. Portions
of it for some years past have been
occupied by the Turtle Mountain
Indians, a rowing band Of the Chippe-
wa tribe. Several years ago these In
dians presented a claim urging their
right to the occupancy Of the lands in
question, and Secretary SEIZURE then
withdrew the lands from settlement,
pending the consideration Of the claim.
Secretary Teller now decides that the
claim Of the Chippewas is invalid, and
reopens the lands to settlement.

This, and the fact that Mr.. Russell

mother died in the latter's infancy,
renders the untimely death Of the
