RED MEN WILL FARM,
The Sioux Powwow Results in Decision
to Take Up Lands

The Sioux Powwow Results in a Decision
to Take UP Lands.
PIERRE, S. D., April 23.-The great
Sioux Indian powwow which met Sum
day was long and eventful one, the
talk being kept up until late Monday
night. About 200 Indians were present,
including all the prominent chiefs of the
Sioux nation and several hundred
whites. Col. Lounsbery, the special
agent Of the interior department, was
present by request of the Indians, as was
also the register of the land Office, to
give them information or hear COM
plants. The Indians then called atten-
ton to the broken promises of the gov
eminent, and said they would have no
more to do with the whites. unless the
wrongs were righted. John Grass, the
chief spokesman, and known as the great
orator of the Sioux, made long speech.
He reaffirmed his former wish that the
Indians should take up lands and live
like whites. After Grass spoke, Chief
Big Foot, who controls band of hos
tiles, tried to break up the meeting
by driving round and round and firing
guns in the air. Big Foot, by the aid of
the Indian police was gathered in and
band compelled to keep quiet. After
this a long and interesting talk was had.
When the powwow broke up it was
fully decided by the red men to take up
land and 60 to farming, instead of giong
back on the reservation.

Bountiful Rains GLADDEN. the Hearts
of Minnesota and Dakota
Farmers.

FORT PIERRE, s. D., April est has
just come to light that stupendous
scheme is on foot to secure the capital of
South Dakota and place it upon the
newly coded portion of the great Sioux
reservation. For long time it has been
known that large body of the choicest
land near Fort Pierre has been covered
up and held by squatters, and it has just
leaked out that it is their intention to
vacate the lands, which are situated
near the mouth of Bad river, and allow
the state land commissioner to locate
the land on behalf Of the state. This
tract of land lies beautifully and when
plated and sold out by the state will af-
ford sufficient revenue to build all the
state buildings. The scheme has leaked
out prematurely, but it will be pushed
for all it is worth.

THE HOUSE.,

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Mr. McKin-
ley, from the committee on ways and
means, introduced the new tariff bill,
with the majority report on it, in the
house. The majority report discusses
the effect that the bill will have upon
the revenues of the government. 1t
states that the exact effect is difficult of
ascertainment. "That there will be a
substantial reduction, as we shall show"
it says, admits of no doubt. 1t is not
believed that the increase of duties upon
woods and wooden goods, land upon glass
ware, will have the effect of increasing
the revenues. That would, of course,
follow if the importations of the last
fiscal year were hereafter to be main
tanned, which, however, is altogether
improbable. The result will be
that importations will be decreased,
and therefore the amount of rev.
enue collected from these sources
will be diminished. In every case of in
creased duty except that imposed upon
the plate) which does not 60 into effect
until July l., 1891 y and upon linen fab
RIGS, the effect will be to reduce rather
than to enlarge the revenues because i'm
of the committee to fix the duties upon
that class of manufactured goods and
farm products which can be supplied at
foreign goods and products and secure
to our own people and our own produc-
ers the home market, believing that
competition among ourselves will secure
reasonable prices to consumers in the
future as it has invariably done in tho
past. We seek by the increased duties
recommended not only to maintain, but
to enlarge our own manufacturing plants
and check supplies from abroad which
can be proftably produced at home.
The general policy of the bill is to foster
and promote American production and
diversifcation of American industry"
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-After the
journal had been read Mr.. Butterworth
arose and said that it was seemly and
proper, and just tribute of the respect
to the memory of the distinguished man
whose funeral took place in the forenoon
that the house adjourn. A motion to
this effect was Immediately adopted,
WASHINGTON, April ly.-Mr. Enloe, Of
Tennessee, rose to a question of personal
privilege and sent to the clerks desk and
had read an article from The New York
Press declaring that a gigantic fraud
had been discovered in the Southern war
claims bill, and that Mr.. Thomas, of
Wisconsin, chairman, of the committee
on wal claims, had denounced the bill
as one of the most infamous that had
ever been foisted upon congress.
Mr.. Thomas said that he thought he
could prove the disloyalty of number
of the claimants.
Mr.. Enloe said that the charge that he
had brought the bill before the house
surrepitously was false.
Mr.. Thomas offered a resolution to
recommit the bill with instructions to
the committee ON war claims to investi-
gate the loyalty of the claimants. This,
and another proposition to have the COM
mittee report it back within two weeks,
was finally agreed to, and the resolution
was reported to the house and adopted.

ease has again broken out among the
cattle at New Ulm. The news has Just
reached Governor Merriam, and he has
sent word to DIR. Schwartskopf, of the

visit New Ulm and investigate any cases
which he may find. Several months ago
the same disease broke out in that dis.
triot and Dr.. Schwartzkopf, on his visit
to New Ulm, found that several cattle
had died from it. He studied the dis
ease and pronounced as the cause of it
the feeding Of malt to cattle. The peo-
pie were not well satisfied with his dag
nosis of the trouble, and now they are
more dissatisfied, for the disease has
shown itself where malt was not fed.
The doctor will hasten to New Ulm and
make another examination Of the cattle
diseased before they have died.
