THE INDIANS.
Gen. Sheridan's Plan to Settle the
Question,
And Better the Condition of the Abo-
rigines.

WASHINGTON, iJan. Sin response to
request for additional information explaua-
tory of the recommendation of his last annual
report in regard to the Indian question, Lit.
Gen. Sheridan has written statement in
which he says: Il recommended that each
Indian family be given and located upon 800
acres now provided for them by law, in case
of actual settlement; that the government
then condemn the remainder of each reserva-
tion and buy it in at 81. .25 per acre, and with
the proceeds purchase government bonds, to
be held in trust, the Indian Department CIV
ing the Indians each year the interest on the
bonds for their support In Dakota the prln,
cipal reservations are Fort Berthold, and
these are in various bands of Sioux. Fort
Berthold reservation, with an area OF over
100000 acres, has apopulatlono OF 100 people;
The other Grow, Creek, Old Wlnnebago ana
Sioux, an area of nearly %, ,250,000 acres and
population Of about 25,S00. The carrying
out of the proposals of my report would IN
the former case afford an annual income OF
over $4,000, and in the latter case the sur
plus unoccupied by the Indians OF over TO-
500,0 600 acres, or over 80, 600 square miles, an
extent of territory equal to the combined
area of the States of New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts and Connecticut, the
proceeds of which at per cent per annum
would yield interest of over $1,OO0,0O0 with

Lake and South Mountain, an area of 276,000
acres, and a population of over 1900, nearly
half the land would be required by Indians
in this case. Then the income from the sur
plus would be small, being little less than
$4,000 per annum.
In Montana the Blackfeet reservation con.
tains over q, 100000 acres and a population OF
less than 1000 Indians, surplus land equal to
the area of the State of Maine would then
return an income of $1,O60,009 The Crow
reservation mentioned in my report could In
a similar manner be made to produce an an
nual sum of 500, 800.
Considering all the Indians and reserva-
tions in the territories of Dakota and Mon
tana we have an aggregate acres of over "a
100000 acres of population of less than 4.3oO'
A surplus area of nearly $1,000 square miles,
almost equal to the entire State of Kansas
would here produce an annual interest OF oy-
er two and one-half million dollars. The ap-

she conversed about che gayetie5 OF the

Leisurely strolling into the elegant
drawing room came the family dog, a
large and intelligent type of the New
foundland breed. 1t was warm even
ing and the dog came In with lis mouth
open and his tongue protruding from
his mouth. He made directly for the
hostess, who manifested great uneasi-
ness at the first sight Of the unexpected
animal. AS he came nearer tue young
woman dropped her fan, mounted first
the heavy upholstered chair and then
the centre table.
Seeing the unusual performance the
young man followed suit and was soon
ON top of the marble mantlepiece, TO
which place of safety he invited his hos
tess. Meanwhile the dog, the cause of
the commotion, ,crawled under the sofa,
preparing himself to take nap.
"When was he taken?" asked tie
young man, as he balanced himself
amidst the mantel ornaments.
"Oh, he's been that way all sum-
mer." replied the young woman.
"It's strange he doesn't try to bite
US, isn't it?" continued theyoung man.
"Oh, he wouldn't bite anybody" re-
marked the young hostess.
"Why, hasn't he got the hydrOpiio-
bia?'
"No," replied she, shes 20. leas,
and that's pretty near as bad?"
