The Opening of the Sioux Reservation
Again before Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Delegate Gif-
ford introduced bill amendatory of the
law providing for the division Of the
the great Sioux reservation in Dakota
and for the REIMBURSEMENT Of the Indian
title to the remainder. That law was;
enacted 81 ti32a last session of congress.
The commission appointed under it to

satisfactory agreement as to the pre-
posed division. The dill introduced
amends the law IS follows: The rescr-
vation is to be opened without the con
sent of the Indians, while The Ia passed
last session required such consent. The
sum OF $2,CGO, 900 is TO be deposited to
the credit OF the Indians, instead Of the
81 $50. eco provided for last session. The
lands tiiIOWn open 10 settlement are to
be paid FOR at the following rates: On
lands entered for settlement during the
first two years after the opening OF the
reservation, 81 per acre; all lands tallel.
during the next two years, 70 cents per
acre. and 80 cents per acre for the resi-
due undisposed of at that time,
Senator Dawes, while not entirely
conrnitting himself: says enough to
warrant the positive assertion that he
will not adhere to his former demand
that the consent of the Indians shall be
obtained

THE GEORGE W. CUSHING
Goes Ashore on Richmond's island
and Is Wrecked.
The Crew Reach Shore Safely and
Without Difficulty.

Thursday night at about o'clock the
schooner George w. Cushing, Captain Cush-
ing and crew of twelve men, was off the
Cape bound into Portland with a catch of
fish. A fresh southwest wind was blowing
and it was very foggy, SO thick that the men
could see hardly any distance from the ves-
sell. Dan Sampson and j. NJ. Wallace, two
of the crew, were on the lookout, while all
hands were,on deck. Charles Littlejohn was
near by him with the lead in his hand. The
captain was in the act of throwing the lead
to ascertain in what depth of water the YES
sci was sailing when the men on the lookout
shouted breakers" One cried "helm hard
up" and the other ''helm hard down." The
man at the wheel put his helm hard up, the
boom which was on the starboard side,
swung around with such force that it broke
like pipe stem, and the next moment the
schooner struck the rocks with tremendous
crash. A hole six or seven feet square was
made in her bow, but she lay in such posi-
ton that it was easy for the crew to run out
on the bowsprit and jump upon the rocks,
which they did. The place where the vessel
struck Is known as Adams Head, Richmond
island. II the schooner had gone little
outside Adams Head she would have struck
more dangerous rocks a little farther on, and
without doubt a part If not the entire crew
would have been drowned. The George w

four tons, and was built 10 Bath In 1882 at a
cost of about $4,000. She was owned by

$4,000 in the Lloyds, and for $500 with Eben.
