the correspondence would eventually
be forwarded to congress, there was
prompt transmission.
The department of state has received
dispatches from the epnsuls of the
United States at Panama and Cotton in
regard to the situation of affairs on the
lsthmus. The eenSOls report that no
disorders had taken place up to Feb. Is,
and that no trouble was anticipated be-
cause of the expected final collapse of
DE Lesseps company. The event of the
collapse had been discounted by the
fact that gradual suspension of the

months, and the overflow workmen had
drlfted out easily and in several direc-
tons.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 25.-s'We'
have saved one important bill from the
general wreck of partisan wrangllng.
said Chairman Peel this afternoon when
the news reached him that The Sioux
reservation bill had passed the senate.
As MIR. Peel correctly characterizes 1t,
"The labors 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 call of committees was over. the
Massachusetts senator secured the rec
oghition of the chair, and the Sioux bill
WAS taken up. The amendments 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-
tion. The amount appropriated is
changed from S2.000,000 to $1,000, ,Oeo.
The section as to right OF way
for the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and Northwestern Railroad companies
was amended SO as to restore the provl-
sions 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 IN
severalty was changed from $40 to $50.
The Red Cloud section, for ponies taken
by the government, was added, and
s2S,0oO appropriated for this purpose.
For procuring signatures OF the In
dians ss5, 900 was appropriated.
Upon the passage of the bill. Senator
Dawes asked for conference commit
tee, and President Pro Tenn. Ingalls, ap-
pointed Senators Dawes, Platt aid
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
reprehensible deadlock is victory of
which to be proud and over which to
rejoice.

How the Opening Thereon Is Re-

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2,5.-"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. I was merely
speaking in general way about the
greatness, or rather the vastness, of our
public domain. The undeyeloped re-
sources of our country are so wonder
fully great, that am surprised at the
industrious endeayors of parties in in-a
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 dispos-
sess my mind of the idea that there is
something peculiar about it all.' ls.s
"But, senator, our public domain is,
by settlement, shrinking as to its hori-
z0n. Its valuable acreage is not bound
less" 1'is
'sTrue enough, my friend, but it is
being increased by II, ,000, 900 acres by the
opening of the Sioux reservation in Da-
kota. There is 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
100000 of them, have been CRYING for
the opening of that reservation for the
past SIX years. 1t ought to be opened.
In that measure there is reason upon
reason for increasing the public do
main. [ am in favor of it. But this
Oklahoma bill is of different origin.
1t looks different"
"Will the Sioux reservation be opened
this year?'
lit looks very much that way. The
best possible proposals are made to the
Indians. and they will be glad to accept
the propositions of the government and
agree to them. Then, with 11.000, 600
