WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Feb. 25.-''We
have saved one important bill from the
general wreck of partisan wrangiing,"
said Chairman Peel this afternoon when
the news reached him that the Sioux
reservation bill had passed the senate.
As Mr.. Peel correctly characterizes it,,
"rhe iabors of King, Kleiner and
Goodykoontz are crowned with com
parative success" The matter was
settled in Republican caucus this morn
ing. when Senator Dawes demanded
consideration of the bill, acting under
authority of the caucus. AS soon as
the cali of committees was over, the
Massachusetts, senator secured the rec
oguition of the chair, and the Sioux Dill
was taken up. Theamendments offered
by the senate committee were adopted
pro forma. Then the clause relating TO
tribal patents was modified so as to Sc
cure to each tribe separate reserya-
ton. The amount appropriated is
changed from 100000 to $3,000,000.
The section as to right OF way
for the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
and Northwestern Railroad companies
was amended so as to restore the proyi-
siens of last winters bill, which is sat
isfactory to all. The Payson town-site
clause was stricken out. The amount
of cash to each Indian taking land III
severalty was changed from $50 to 500.
The Red Cloud section, for ponies taken
by the government, was added, and
s2s,0UO appropriated for this purpose
For procuring signatures of the ln-
dians S25, 900 was appropriated.
Upon the passage OF the bill, Senator
Dawes asked for a conference commit
tee, and President Pro TEN. ingalls, ap-
pointed Senators Dawes, Platt and
Jones senate conferrees. Owing to the
chaotic condition of the house, no ac-
ton was taken in that body, but it is
hoped that during the morning hour
conferrees will be appointed. The bill
can be passed under favorable condi-
tions Wednesday. and probably signed
Thursday. 1t is an unsatisfactory bill,
but to save anything from the present
reprehensibie deadlock is a victory of
which to be proud and over which to
rejoice. ss4

New Switch in Use.

George E. Lenhart, foreman in the st.
Paul & Duluth shops. is the inventor of
q new switch which has been in sue
cessful operation in the Northern Pa
ciiie yards for the last few weeks. By
means of this innovation the main line
danger from a misplaced switch is
avoided. The switch is thrown by pull
ing down a projecting lever, which as
soon as released is pulled back by ass
pound weight. which is bound on
screw: this latter piece of mechanism
doing away with lateral motion and en-
abiing the lever to be readily lowered.
1t can be also adopted to three-throw
switch by changing the lever, which
also adjusts the target, showing at a
glance which switch, if any, is being

W AsHINGroN, Feb. 25.-The Even
ing Star says: ''Hon. r. L. Pettigfew,
of Sioux Falls, Oak, is at the Riggs
house. 1t is expected by many Dako-
tians that he will be here next winter
as one of Dakota's senator's. This is
not the first time Franks name has
been mentioned in this connection at
Washington, although seldom talked of
in the territory. There were North and
South Dakotians to be met at every
turn in the capitol corridors to-day, all
looking happy and harmonious. Con-
yersations had with Moody, EdgertOn,
Hansbrough, Fleming, La Moure and
others evince a settled determination to
harmonize on nominee for governor
of Dakota Fleming, of Fargo, voices
the general sentiment. saying: No
matter what our personal preferences
might be, we are all united in the deter
mination that not later than March Is
the last carpet-bag governor of Dakota
will be ordered to stand not on the order
of his going. but 60 at once, and a gen
uine Dakotian Will take his place. The
South Dak0tianS want Meilette, and we
can't say that we do, but rather than
have any rnction or delay in the matter
we will agree to any man named. Mel
Iette is good man, and no one can say
ANYTHING against him. He will give us
all a fair deal, but first and foremost. as
the main incentive to harmony of action,
is the general sentiment that Church
must CO."
Wisconsin senators and representa-
tives were excitedly holding secret con
craves all afternoon. None of them will
talk for publication. but 1t is understood
that Spooner has word of black eye
for Rusk. 1t is believed that Rusk is
out of the cabinet possibilities.

THE SIOUX RESERVATION.
How the Opening Thereof Is Re-
tarded by the Oklahoma Fight.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-"The public
domain is not exhausted" says Senator
Butler, of South Carolina. ''There are
millions of acres not yet occupied and
many millions which have not yet been
seen by the thrifty pioneers who seek
homes upon virgin soil. Immigration is
increasing, as we all do know, but there
is room for the worlds surplusage and
will be room for them in this country
for years to come. provided they be
wisely handled and directed by the
proper authorities. Our resources are
practically undeveloped."
.'Do you favor unrestricted foreign
immigratiou"'
Nothing of the kind. was merely
speaking in general way about the
greatness, or rather the Yastness, of our,
public domain. The undeveloped; re-,
sources of our country are so wonder
fully great, that am surprised at ltiel
industrious endeavofs of parties in in
terest to throw open the Oklahoma.
country to settlement, and provide, a.
territorial form of government for a
section which now embraces but fifty
white people. l am unable to dispes-
sess my mind of the idea that there is
something peculiar about it all.'' n5sE.
''Rut, senator, our public domain, is.

zon. Its valuable acreage is not bound;

'sTrue enough, my friend, but it is
being increased by II, ,0eo, eco acres by the
opening of the Sioux reservation in Da--
kota. There is a measure for increas-,
ing the public domain which must meet,
with the hearty concurrence of all
right-minded citizens. The people of
the Black Hills country and the settlers
of Eastern South Dakota are shut off
from each other by that immense tract
Of country which is held by the Sioux
Indians. Those white people, over
300.O 600 of them, have been CRYING for
the opening of that reservation for the
past SIX years. 1t ought to be opened.
