eral term of the fifth department handed
down a decision in the case of Kemmler,
the murderer, condemned to death under
the new law providing for the execution

court holds to be constitutional. The
judge, in closing his remarks, said: "If
the question were Of the ACCESSIBILITY in
the change of the mode of inflicting
death by capital punishment the discus

THREE MONTHS HENCE.
President Harrison Will Not
Open the Sioux Reservation
for Some Tine.
Some Promises Made to the In
dams Which Must Be Rati-
fed by Congress.
Pierre Boomers Will Attempt to Buy
Land of Halfbreeds on Which to
Build a Town.

ST. PAUL, Jan. IA Pioneer Press
Washington special says: The president
will probably not issue the proclamation
opening the Sioux reservation to settle
ment for about three months. This, at
any rate, is what Indian Agent Nc.
Laughlin, who is here in charge of the
Sioux chiefs, says. Maj. Mclaughlin
has had an interview with the president,
Secretary Noble, Indian Commissioner
Morgan and the members of the senate
and houee from South Dakota, and so it
is fair to presume that he speaks by the
card. He had just come from a talk
with Gen. Morgan when he was inter-
viewed. There are two principal reasons
for this three months delay in declaring
the 5000, 900 acres of land open to be
taken up by settlers. The president be-
lieves that the letter of the commission
ers' promises to the Indians should be
carried out. They promised several
things which are
o SPECIFICALLY STATED
in the bill creating the commission, and
the president has signitied that he will
not issue his proclamation until he
knows that congress will ratify these
promises. He will, therefore, defer ac-
ton until the committees on Indian af-
fairs from both houses of congress have
examined the report and signified that
they favor legislation which will be the
fultillment Of the promises made the
Indians before they signed last summer.
Chief among these promises was the
payment for ponies taken from friendly
Indians at the time Gen. Crook disarmed
them after the Custer massacre, and
that the money for schools shall not be
deducted from the purchase money paid
under this new act, but shall be from
general appropriations as called for I'M
der existing treaties.
ANOTHER REASON
which leads the president to delay &C
ton is the cold weather. He believes
that the reservation would open under
i%nauspicious circumstances if done right
away. A rush of immigration would be
almost inevitable, and in that cold eli
mate the settlers would suffer privations
incident to frontier life which would in
jure not only the particular settler. but
the name and prospects of the great
reservation, which is fertile and in many
ways choice. While those who are in
informed on the situation will hardly
question the advisability of the delay,
there are signs that it will be a disap-
pointment to persons in many parts of
the country who have been ready to take
their gripsacks and Westward Ho as
soon as the lands are eligible to squat
