self Relative to Dakota Matters.
St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Fargo, D. T.. Jan. 3-The Argus pub.
fishes an interview with Delegate Ray
mond this morning in answer to ques.
tion regarding the division question in
congress. The delegate stated that the
republicans were in favor OF the admis.
sion OF two states as soon as possible,
while the democrats were opposed to
any change whatever before the next
presidential election. The DELEGATE
thinks that it may eventually be ad.
mitted as one state. In reply to ques.
ton az to whether Dakota could expect
anything from the present congress, the
delegate said: Eyes. The bill already
introduced to appoint two more Judges
tor the territory will probably pass. One
OF these will be placed in south Dakota
and one in north. Tue ATTORNEYS
throughout the territory are interested
greatly in the matter, and they will
doubtless work hard to obtain its mss.
age"
In speaking further the delegate
ventured the prediction that a large nor
tion OF the Sioux reservation would he
open up for settlement soou. The senate
subcommittee on this subject, consisting
of Messrs. Dawes. Cameron and Logan
Will present their report on the 7th inst.
which will probably recommend the
ratification of last years treaty, This
VIII require the appropriation of about
SSUO,00O to carry out the provisions of the
treaty. Mr.. Raymond said that he ex
poets much tlnkering of the land laws
and he fears that much of it will be ad
verse to Dakota's best interests. He
looks for the entire repeal of the pre.
emption laws and the practical
nullitication of the timber culture
laws. together with the extension
OF the time of residence on home.
stead claims. Bills have been intred aced
for opening up the Fort Rice reservation
and that portion of the Fort Randall res.
ervation east of the Missouri. There are
already many squatters on the lands.
The delegate said that there were al.
ready about thirty applicants for the
position made vacant by the death of
Judge kidder. The president will doubt.
less secure some one outside of the ter.
ritory for the position, as u resident
would doubtless be prejudiced on the
capital commission question In regard
to Governor Ordway, the delegate said
that he did not think the present pet,.
ton Tor his removal would have
any effect with the president, a.
he was well satiated With Ordwsy's
