WASHINGTON, D. c., June 4.-The

caucus Immediately upon the adjourn

LUTHEkANS IN EARNEST.
They Will Oppose the Bennets
Law to the Last.


MILWAUKEE. June 4.-The German
Lutheran antl-Bennett law conventidA
was called to order at the west side
Turner hall, shortly after 1 o'clock by
Christian Koerner, editor of the Ger.
mania, who represents the head and,
foot of the Lutheran bolt. After the
appointment of committee on creden-
tials, Mayor Peck appeared on the
platform and made a pleasant little
speech of welcome. Mayor Peck was
followed by f. W. Won Cotzhausen, a
prominent German lawyer; ex-Collector
of Customs Conrad Krez, Prof. Rasmus
b. Anderson, eX-minSter to Den
mark, and August Ross, another attache
of the Germania. All spoke Of
the Bennett law as unneces-
sary and an infringement on
civil and religious liberty. Perhaps NO
address of the conference was looked
forward to with more general interest
than that given by Prof. Anderson, the
celebrated Morse scholar and author, and
during Cleveland's administration
United States minister to Denmark.
Prof. Anderson discussed the Bennett
law section by section, and took the
ground that the law was unnecessary,
and therefore ought never to have been
enacted. He declared himself to be in
favor of the objects sought to be ac-
cOmplished by the Bennett law. but de-
nounced the methods they employed as
extraordinarily harsh. "Whoever di-
rectly or indirectly opposes the Ameri-
can common schools" earnestly ex-
claimed the speaker in closing, ''is an
enemy of education, of liberty, of prog
ress. Opposition to the common school
is treason to the country" The resolu-
tions adopted protest against the Ben
nett law because 1t unnecessarily
and unjustly curtails civil and
religious liberty; offers the school board
an opportunity of determining arbi-
trarily that child, during the period
of enforced attendance, must attend a
school in the city, town or district in
which it resides, thus depriving parents
of the right to send their children to a
better and more suitable school outside
the district; compels parochial aud
other private schools to observe the
time or times of attendance, fixed by
school boards, without regard to the
rights and customs of churches or their
schools; prescribeS certain studies as
also the medium of instruction therein;
affords school boards ampls opportunity
to uSurp powers not given til hem. al
though the state and it's officers have
no right to interfere with the manage
ment of parochial and other private
schools. They declare that regardless
of former party affiliations, German
Lutherans shall vote for such candi-
dates only as pledge themselves to work
for the repeal of the Bennett law.

q sensation in the probate court this
afternoon when Dockery and Kingston,

not bad looking man, some time past
middle age and claims he married Sadie
first; that she deserted him, and CON-
ing to Ashland married Mahoney. He
saws he knew of her whereabouts, but
not caring either to take her back or to
punish her, stayed away until she and
her paramour were dead. Now he pro-
poses to heal his heart wounds with an
application of money in bank, down.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D.. June 4.-The
removal of Pine Ridge agency, as pro-
posed, to Medicine Root creek, forty
miles Northeast of its present location,
means considerable to the jobbing trade
of st. Paul and Minneapolis. 1t is also
proposed to remove Re sebud agency to
q point Oh Dog Ear creek, about forty
miles from the Missouri river. The re-
moVal of these agencies will result to
the disadvantage of Omaha and Neb-
raSka, and the trade that has hereto
fore passed over the Fremont, ElkhOrn
& Missouri Valley railway will be trans
ferred to the Chicago, Milwaukee d st.
Paul railroad, which is sure to be eX-
tended to the Black Hills, and the re-

largest of the Sioux agencies, and

from Valentine to Rosebud, and the
same may be said regarding the trade

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Secretary
Noble has received information from

that territory to the United States. The
number of acres is 22s, 900, and the price

living on the reservation, all of whom
have consented to this agreement. The
Indians are to have eighty acres allotted
to each head of family, and the gov
ernment agrees to spend $4,000 of the
purchase money in improvements on
the lands allotted to the Indians and the
balance, 100000. is to be paid to the
Indians in annual inStallmentS.

QUOTING THE STATUTES.
Arguments in the Des Moines
River Land Litigation.

FORT DODGE, To-, June 4.-Attorney
Clark for the United States, concluded
his argument in the river land case this
morning. He claimed that the naviga-
tion company had never complied with
the conditions Of the grant and never
intended to do so, and that it was SIM
ply a fraudulent scheme to obtain pos
session of the lands. Under these cir
cumstances, he held that the grant was
void. Catch, for the defense, produ ced
the records of the navigation company,
showing it had acted in good faith and
more than complied with the conditions
under which the grant was made. He
showed by the company's records it had
paid out over $360,000 III Improvements
made above the Coon river forks. He
also produced supreme court decisions.
and asserted that that body had upheld
the company's title in every case. Judge
Connor, for the defense, argued that the
United States had no jurisdiction over
the lands, and this court no jurisdiction
to try this case, the government having
abandoned all interest in the land for
TWENTY-FIVE years.
