The Sisseton Sioux.

In our last issue we mentioned that
Hon. A. s.. Crowfield, accompanied
by Chief Renville and Rev. Charles
Crawford, of the Sisseton Indian Res
ervation, passed through here on
their way TO Washington. They go
there to appear before the secretary Of
the interior in regard to the opening
of the Sisseton reservation. AT Chi
cage the party was joined by Gov.
MilIette and Mr.. Diggs, of Milbank.
The Indians, who number about
1900, occupy about 8 100000 acres of
land, most of it valuable for agricul-
tural purposes, with some grazing
lands among the hills. They are
willing to dispose Of them If terms
can be agreed upon.
One-of the matters will be the pay
ment OF some old anuuities. In 1862,
when the Indians weie in Minnesota,
most of them were loyal, and few
joined in the uprising. For this the
government confiscated oil annuities
then due, amounting to $305, 900. This
Sissetons have always maintained
that they should be paid. The matter
has been brought before two secre-
taries In the past, and Secretary
Teller recommended the payment,
but congress never acted upon the
recommendation.
Chief Renvilie will represent the
Indians in the hearing, while Mr..
Crawford will net as interpreter.
Renville is q well preserved man of
about seventy years of age, tall and
straight, showing his age only in his
wrinkled face and stubby, gray
mustacho and hair. He Is dressed in
American garb, including stand-up
linen collar and necktie, save only
that he wears moccasins. He was
loyal during the massacre, and acted
as chief of scouts under Gen. Sibley,
Crawford is younger by perhaps
twenty years, He WAS arrested after
the uprising as one of the "bad''
Indians and as such sentenced to
death, but was pardoned by President
Lincoln. He claims that his arrest
was q great mistake. However, ira
dition says that when the Indians
were brought down to Mankato it
was necessary to disguise him to get
him through New Ulm IN safety.
His reformation, education and en-
trance to the ministry is or COM
paratively recent date.

Indemnity Lands.

Wheaton Gazette: At the request
of parties here Congressman 3. q.
Comstock came down Wednesday tc
ascertain If there was anything he
could do to aid settlers on indemnity
lands In this county. A meeting oil
settlers and citizens was held at the
hall in the evening at which the
question was thoroughly discussed by
parties who are more or less ac-
quainted with the situation. J. w.
Reynolds, who was employed by the
state to represent the settlers, first adj
dressed the meeting and explained
the situation the settlers are in at
present and expressed the opinion
that their only chance for relief was
by carrying their grievances before
the new administration and IL possi-
BILE prevail upon the Secretary of the
Interior to revoke the order granting
the lands to the r. r.. Co. and to
restore the lands to the public doc
main. In this way the company's
title to the lands could be tested
In the courts. Remarks were made
by B. N. johnson, OF st. Cloud,
Martin Ryan, of Fargo, A. s. Cross
field and J. Place. Each gentleman
expressed the same views as Mr..
Reynolds, and advised the settlers to
at once make an effort to have the
ruling OF the department reversed.
Mr.. Comstock was called upon and
stated that he was not familiar with
the matter but had come down to OBJ
tain information. If the settlers
could decide upon any plan to pursue
he would gladly do everything in his
power to assist them. The following
resolution was proposed and adopted:
Resolved, That Hon. S. G. Com
stock he and Is hereby respectfully re-
quested to procure u stay Of proceed
ings in the adjusting of the land
grant of the st. p. M. & M. r.. r. Co.
or the issuing Of further patents to
that company of the indemnity land
belonging to it's grant until an OPP
portunity can be had for hearing on
the matter In behalf of the settlers on
such land.
After the adoption of the resolution
it was decided to hold another meet.
ing Saturday afternoon to decide up
on what course to pursue. The meet
ing then adjourned. Mr.. Comstook
will at once endeaYor to stop the
issuing of patents to the R. R. Co.
until the settlers are given a hearing.

Starbuck correspondence Of Glen
wood Minnesotlan: The excursion
from Morris on the 18th was very
enjoyable affair, and we dare say the
partakers were we'll pleased over the
day spent in our sunny little burg. A
nicer day In every respect none could
wish for, and most of the time was
passed eathe beautiful waters of Lake
Minnewasks. The steamer with ten
row boats came up from Glenwood,
with the 4 or 5 boats here accomo-
dated all those who delighted in catch
ing the finny tribe, and nice lot of
fish were carried back to Morris.
The excursionists arrived at q. M,
and remained till $3.50 p. m. and num-
bered, we should judge, about one
hundred. We extend our heartiest
thanks to the visitors, and hope they
were so well pleased with the trip that
they will repeat it another season.
The Morris Band discoursed excellent
music at intervals, and the ball game
in the afternoon between their team
and the home nine, was very interest
ing. Ofcourse our boys expected de-
feat, but would have held their own
quite we'll had they been able to "catoh
on" to the curves; in the field they
did good work. Score, % to 1.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Batcheller, laughed when he was
shown the story of a Wall street
combine to force the Treasury to pay
more for bonds, aud if 1t declined to
do so to bring on financial panic.
"You can say" said the Secretary,
"in the most positive language, that
thore will be no financial panic under
the present administration, and that
at present it is getting about all the
bonds 1t wants at the regular price
and does not propose at present to
pay more"
The extra session talk has taken a
fresh start here. Every other man

enable those members who wish to
take part in the November elections
to do so without neglecting business,
as after the election of a speaker
nothing can be done by the House
until the committees are announced,
and to select aud arrange them will
take the speaker at least two or three
weeks.
