THE wINNEBAGo

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.--The old VIM
nebago Indian reservation in Dakota lying
north Of the Grow Greek reservation aud
ca It of Pierre, on the Missouri river, IS
finally to be thrown open To settlement.
Less than a month ago request to this
effect, from the Milwaukee 4 st. Paul road,
was made and refused, the Indian Office
deciding against 1t. Reconsideration has
been given the matter, however, and it is
now stated at the interior depArtmen. that
the reservation will be opened in q few
days by executive order. The Pierre and
Southeastern railway. company recently
organized, with stockholders in Pierre,
New York city, Indiana and illinois, wants
to get the right f-way down the river, up
Chapelle creek, and east through SIX towns
on the reservation. As the status of this
land has been In doubt since the treaty Of
1888, its terms seeming to retain the reser-
vation for the winnebagoes, the tribe was
removed to Nebraska. and there are now
1000 Sioux living on the lands. 1t is said
to be fine farming country.
THE BIG SIOUX.
Delegate Raymond will in few days call
up under the new ''ten object ors" rule the
bill passed by the senate last year to open
the Big Sioux reservation. The outlook
from all accounts is good Tor its p ss,ige
in the house. The Dakota delegation,
with x-Congressman Caulfield at its head
had done thorough and effective work.
The result of the canvass, it is said. finds
almost no opposition to the bill. 1t is not
expected that ten men can be found to
object TO consideration of the bill, and
not many more who win vote against it's
passage. Mr.. Raymond expresses conf :
dence in getting a vote On the bill, and
does not anticipate defeat il vote is
reached

Coming to Grief

WAsHIkGFoN, October 4.-Many post
masters have come to grief through dis
regard of the postal regulation which
requires postmasters renting a sur
plus of money order funds to deposit
cries in registered packages, to be able,
in every case, to prove by at least one
disinterested witness, that the money
was actually enclosed in the proper
registered package, properly adj
dressed locked in the mail and dis
patched. If postmaster fails
to comply with those requirements he
is compelled 70 make good the money,
If it is lost or stolen. Many post
masters, finding it inconvenient to
have witness have, in cases of loss or
thefts, have made claims for credit which
have been disallowed, the Postmaster
General holding that the precautions
above noted are necessary, not only to
establish the fact that the money W as
actually remltted, but to secure proof
necessary for conviction OF those
persons charged with its theft.

the effect that In cases where the rail

liged to deliver it into. and receive i
from, postoffices (Which requirement
applies to stations where postoffice is
within eighty rods of the stopping place
of tran), employees carrying mails be-
tween the station and Office are not EN-
ployees in postal service, and need not
be sworn in. The department, how
ever, requires the railway company to
employ for this purpose persons over
the age of sixteen years, and of suitable
intelligence and character, and post
masters are directed to report any
violation OF this requirement.

The situation in the East

LONDON, October 13.-The Stanaqrd
this morning says: The situation in the
east has become more clouded within
the last forty-eight hours. The prob
lem could be dealt with effectively il
the triple alliance was united, as 1t
pretends to be. The problem now for
Bismarck is how TO settle the
pending difficulties so as to pre-
vent Russia and Austria from fighting.
If the latter agree to insist upon statpt
quo, or to force Servia to agree to it,
Greece Will be satisfied and Bismarck
will concur, but there appears to be
little chance that they will agree. 1t is
not for England to act as principal in the
miserable dispute which is only OF
secondary interest, though she might
cordially assist if Germany and Austria
make the request.
