SIOUX RESERVATION.
0ne-half of 1t May be Thrown Open for
Settlement.

6tDtltments
PIERRE ID. IT,, May 27th.-Eleven MILL
ion acres of land to be thrown open to set.
tlement under the homestead iaw-that, in
a nutshell, is what the Sioux Commission,
which will leave Chicago tomorrow, is
expected to accomplish, if, as is confidently
expected, the Commission secures the sig
natures of Iwo-thirds of the adult Indians
on the Sioux Reservation. This enormous
tract of land will be opened within three
or four months, and rush of settlers may
be looked for that will make the Okla
homa craze seem tame and Insignificant
affair.
Eleven million acres is an empire in ex-
tent, yet is only one-half of the great Sioux
Reservation, which contains 22,040, DAB
acres. The southern boundary of the res
ervation is the Niobrara river in Nebraska,
its eastern the Missouri and its northern
the Cannon Ball, which flows few miles
south of Bismarck, d. T., and its western
the 103d meridian, which runs through the
Black Hills.
The reservation may be said in general
terms to embrace an area averaging 325
miles in length by lao in width. A barrier
to civilization, the great reservation stands
between the people of the East and one of
the richest mining sections of the country
Save here and there at the agencies no
white men are seen on the land, unless it
be some traveller on his way to the Black
Hills. One may travel for days and never
see an Indian, for the buffalo are gone and
little game is lett TO attract the red man
from his tepe.

INDIAN ALLOTMENTs
Being Made for Lands on the Different
Agencies.

WASHINGTON, May 27th.-The Indian
Office Agents engaged in making allot-
ments of lands in severalty to Indians have
left for their various fields of operation,
and it is expected this year, s operations
will far exceed those of previous years in
number of allotments made. 1t has been the
purpose of the Department not to start in
the allotments except where the Indians
expressed a willingness to take lands in
severalty, but has instructed all the Indian
agents to work constantly with the Indians
to establish a sentiment looking to break
ing up of tribal relations. Thus far the
allotments have been confined to Indians
in Oregon, Dakota, Wisconsin, Montana
and Indiana Territory. and to only single
tribes in each State. This year agents will
go 10 work on the Grande Ronde and
Warm Springs Reservations in Oregon and
will continue work on the other reserva-
tons in the States and Territories named
At present about fifteen thousand Indians
in the United States hold patents TO their
lands and these are in the hands of the
Indian Bureau. Some three thousand allot-
ments were made which have not, however,
been approved by the President.

minor character will be demanded and Sc
cured. These will require very general
shake-up, and of course the displacement
of the men now in office.
If Representatives from the new States
should join the Southern Representatives
or any faction in the organization of the
House, they will cut figure which will be
felt. At any rate, they will come in for a
dozen or more pretty good places, and
