WHERE PURCHASED LANDS ARE

Cleveland Would Have Opened Them
for Settlement if He Had Time on
on March 18th.
WASHINGTON, D. O., March 8.-By the pro
visions of that part of the Indian appropri-
alton bill. which open the Oklahoma lands to
settlement, both the Creek and Seminole Ces-
siOns are declared spart of the publicdomein.
The Greek lands comprise about $500, 600
acres and the Seminole cession about 2,OOO,-
COO. These lands embrace ali that part OF
the Indian Territory west of tbs Creek
diminished reservation, south of the CherO-
kee outlet, east of the panhandle of Texas
and north of the main Canadian river. The
Sac aud Fox, Pawnee, POttOwatOmie, Iowa,
k1ckapoo and other portions OF the Chey-
enne and ArrapRhoe reservations north of
the main Canadian river are all within the
limits of the coded lands. The Sac and Fox
reservation was purchased by the Indians
under the treaty Of 1926, and its present
status will be preserved till changed by ne
gOtiatIOns which are provided for by the
bill. Under the a t of congress Of 1872 the
PottOWatOm1es have already taken RllOt-
msuts and the remainder Will be open to
settlement by proclamation Of the president,
The Pawnees were settled on their reserva-
ton by the act of congress of April 10, 1876,
while the CherOkees aad ArrapahOes, lOWas
and KickapO0s hold by executive order.
Under the operations Of the Indian sever
atty act but small portion of these reser-
vatiOns will be required for permanent
QOm9Ss 4a6lE RESERVATIONS may Dc reduced
under the SeVeralty act or by agreements
made with the Oklahoma commission.
None of the lands within the reservation
mentioned will be subject to settlement IN
til the president takes action as provided by
law. The lar famed Oklahoma lands are
entirIy free from Indian occupancy, and IL
view of the action of congress dedicating
them to homestead purposes and providing
for their disposition through the proper
land officers there can be no reason why the
president Will not act promptly IN officially
announcing the lands open to legal settle
ment. The Sc 3sOn for planting crops Is now
/ at hand and the great population which Will
flow into Oklahoma should have the advan-
rages which viii follow from settlement Gin
the earlp spring.
It is understood that President Cleveland
would have issued the required prOcisma-
| ton on Monday after he had signed the In
dian appropriation bill IL sufficient time had
had remained for him to have done so. A
proclamation fixing the date of legal settle
ment at March 15 was prepared by direction
of a member of the cabinet, as recommended
| by a large number of leading senators and
members of the house, but SO great was the
number of bills that demanded attention on
Monday morning this escaped attention.

Reception Hours.

WASHINGTON. D. O., March $50 many
visitors of the unofficial class come to the
White house that they form double and
treble lines from the doorway TO the gates
on the avenue. Most of them pass into the
building and shake hands with the president
IN the East room. Yielding to the inevitable
the president has at last given notice that
hereafter he viii set apart three hours daily
for the reception of callers. During the
two hours from 10 to u O'Clock senators
and representatives and other privileged
persons will be admitted, while from u to
the great public will be seen.
The first cabinet meeting Of the new adj
ministration held was IA informal meeting
SO that the members might become ac-
quainted with one another.

chancellor Iippfncott.

LAWRENCE, KAN, March Tt was with
surprise and extreme regret the faculty
students and friends OF the state university
learned of the resignation of Chancellor
LippincOtt as the head of this popular edu-
catiOnai institution. In conversation with
the chancellor he stated that the decision
was not hasty one. He had carefully con-
sidered it in all its bearings and decided Is
a question of personal duty. For = long
time he has considered g return &c the pas
torate and an unexpected invitation from
che First Methodist church OF Topeka has
tened his decision.
The chancellor expresses the Wsrme5t at
tachmenE to the institution to which he has
given six Iabor1ous and fruitful years. The
futEre Is full of hope. The university OF
Kansas is already the most potent educa-
tional influence in this part of the country
and is destined with the good support which
1t is certain TO receive from the people Of
the sta e to take yet higher rank among the
institutions Of the country. Its growth to
the present time-it is but tWeaty-three
yeas Old-promises a brilliant future. 1t
Is the chaucellor's desire and belief that the
promise of these eaFlv years may be more
than fulfilled and that too In the near fU-
ture.

CoLTHARP and Brown, placer min
ing on Snake River, near Salmon
Falls, Idaho, unearthed a complete
skeleton of a mastodon. It was buried
about twenty-five feet under ground.
The place had at one time evidently
been a whirlpool or eddy of the river.
Many large bones have been found
there, but this last discovery was a
perfect skeleton, it having without
doubt been deposited there while the
hide was yet intact. Tt was about six
teen feet long, and it is estimated that
the pile Of bones would weigh 5000
pounds or more. The tusks were be-
tween six and seven feet long. The
tusks and some Of the huge mOlars and
other bones were preserved, but it was
impossible to save the skeleton entire,
as soon after it was exposed it began
to crumble.
