1t transpires that the report of tho
Sioux commission will be delayed

therefore is to purposely make it i'm
possible for President Harrison to
open the land by proclamation if he
should be inclined to do SO. A Chi.
..ago dispatch says, "Gen Crook who
was the great factor that secured the
signatures of the reds, expressed his
opinion Immediately upon leaving
Standing Rock agency that the reser-
walton would not be opened until con-
gress convened. In an interview held
with Col. Dell Coy, United States
commissioner at Pierre, and. who ac-
companied the commissioners at the
work, the general said he had made
various promises to the different
tribes to secure their signatures. To
the government they amount to very
little, but to the Indian were of great
Importance. One delegation he
promised = visit to Washington, an
other to reimburse them for loss of
horses, etc. These matters will be
presented to congress with a recon-
mendation that all be allowed" 81

the dry season in that portion of the
