notified and the rush to the land continues.

ascertain the condition CT affairs there and
to quell any disturbance that should arise :.
A settler in the city this imorning reports
that each claim Immediately west of here

day morning there was nothing, A build
ing on wheels has just crossed, which will
be used as q bank at the new town.

friends say he had fall last year since

{tVOlcanic Eruption in japan.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. I2.-The steamer
Gaelic, arrived from Hong Kong and Yoko-
hama late last night. Japanese advices
give the following details of one of the
most terrible volcanic eruptions in the re-
cent history of Japan. Mount 500, near
the town of Fukuyam, in the Blngo dis
trict, commenced to rumble at 8 o'clock on
the evening of Jan. 10th. This continued
two 3hnurs. followed by short cessation.
during which period the inhabitants of the
neighb; ring villages rushed away
from their homes in great confusion.
Soon the top of the mountain was lifted
of, there was a din equal to a dynamite
explosion and sand and stones We're
belched forth, falling in the neighborhood
Of Fnkuyam, where the smoke and fire
Werefalso blown by the wind. At the en-
trance of the town the ground was covered

foot. Stones and earth also fell at Mid

settlers
WILL CAMP ON THEIR CLAIMS
If it should transpire that the proclama-
ton did not name future day for the OPEN
ing, claims of settlement would undoubt-
edly hold good regardless Of the fact that
the claimants were elected. A new land
office viii be organized at once and be in
operation by the time the lands are sur
veyed, when filing will be rendered by set
tiers. The land is as yet unsurveyed, and
settlers will for the present have to secure
squatters' rights. There were number of
smash-ups in the rush, but as yet no fatali-
ties have been reported.
THE CITY A BEDLAM.
The city is in a great uproar tonight.
Bells are ringing, whistles blowing, can
mons booming and the shouting of excited
men and the rushing OF teams make ver-
liable bedlam of the city. The lumber
yards will be rushed to their utmost capac
ity all night-boomers being too anxious to
await the arrival of dawn--and by morn
ing the appearance of the reservation for
many miles i'll every direction will have
UNDERGONE great transformation. Set
tiers who have lumber on the ground are
erecting houses by the light Of lanterns.
The morning sun will shine on
SCORES OF NEW HOUSES,
many of them grouped in the new town on
the west side OF the river. The local town
siters, who got the advantage of the other
boomers for the possession of the town
site, have arranged FOR representation in
nearly fifty different branches Of business.
Inside OF forty-eight hours buildings will
have been erected and every thing in run
ming order, with a population of between
1900 and 5000. The greatest diff
Guilty with them will be in their
inability to transfer and give titles
to lands. 1t is fortunate that the procla-
nation came at this time as in few weeks
later the crossing would be dangerous.
With the river filled with floating ice, ac-
cidents would certainly have happened.
The events of tomorrow are looked for
ward to with great interest by everybody,
and some exciting things may occur. The
weather continues warm and balmy, and
outside work can go on without any incon-
venience.

IRoNToN. O., Feb. 11.-News has come
from Greasy Ridge, in this county, that
VIM. Ferrell, farmer, was killed Sunday
morning by his son, less than 20 years old.
The theory is that young Ferrell interfered
to protect his mother in desperate quar-
rel between her and his father, whereupon
the father attacked him with poker, and
that the boy seized chair and dealt a blow
which broke his fathers neck and instant
ly killed him. The boy was arrested.

Secretary Proctor's Opinion,

WASHINGTON, Feb 12.-In speaking of
the reported troubles on the border of the
newly opened Sioux reservation between
the soldiers and settlers, said this morning
that he thought the difficulties were all
over now. He had not received official
notice of the issue of the proclamation un-
til yesterday morning, when he had imme-
diately sent Gen. Ruger a telegram. 1t
was his idea that all trouble had ceased as
soon as this word reached military
authority. He was under the impression
that the telegraphic reports from Cham.
berlain and Pierre were much exaggerated,
as Senator Pettigrew, who called on him
tins morning, told him that the stories
OF great crowds of newcomers at Chamber
IAN were totally wrong, since he had pri-
vate advices showing where only five men
were there besides the regular settlers.
PROTECTION FOR THE SIOUX.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The secretary of
the interior ordered that the land offices at
Pierre and Chamberlain and O'Neil in
Nebraska, shall receive no filings for entry
on the Sioux lands ceded to the United
States IN any case, when there is a good
lands to which individual Indians have
the right under the act of 1889. and all such
entrleS made In any way will be can
celled.
