He then described the treatment of Cana

"The coal fields in the Dakotas and Mon

CATION to-day. Maj. Powell, who l,as been

out the possible benefits that would follow

ton. He spoke briefly of the artcsian well
system, and expressed the opinion that in

the great areas of arid lands and
traced the general direction of the drainage
of the sections where the claims of irriga-
tion arc most pressing. The flowage Of tho

Others, was given at some length. lie made
the point emphatic that if the results OF

MUST WAIT UNTIL SPRING.

Settlers Cannot Take Land on the

Months.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
President Harrison. in his proclamation
opening the Sioux reservation will prob
ably take piccaution to save what he be-
licves would be calamity 10 many intcntl-
ing settlers by fixing II time when settlement
may be made. 1t is not known at what
date lie will allow settlers to take up tho
lands, but there is an intimation that some
time in the spring has been decided upon.
The president wishes to declare it opened
before the time fixed by law for the cxpira-
tion Of the treaty, and ut the same time
save settlers the disasters they might meet
in going upon the land in wid-wintcr.
He will. therefore, proclaim the pro-
visions OF the treaty complied with,
and fix time when settlers
may go upon the lands. he South Da.
kota members arc anxious to have the
proclamation issued carly, so that they
may secure legislation on several matters.
They want to place Pierre in one of the
land districts and Chamberlain in the
other. They want to establish these land
offices and appoint the officers. There are
several minor matters that will need attcn-
ton in congress and in the interior depart
ment as soon as the proclamation is once
Issued. and the South Dakotans are in a
hurry to get the business cleared up. If
Representative Gifford's bill allowing the
location of Sioux scrip upon the reservation
becomes q law the townstc trouble will be
obviatcd, and the man who has town site
can secure his scrip and title to the lands
1t will prove q wise provision, inasmuch rs
1t will enable some good towns to be built
where they are needed.

FREE ENrRYTo SETTLERS.

Proposition to Give the Sioux Lands
to Settlers Instead Of Selling them.
WAsmIHGToN. Special Telegram,
AS soon as the president sends word to
congress that he has issued the proclama-
ton opening the Sioux reservation to set
tlcmcnt, Senator Pettigrcw will introduce a
bill which will have all important bearing
on the subject. 1t is practically an amend
mcnt to the act of the last congress which
provided for the negotiations with the
Sioux, and is designed to give the lands to
llomcsteadcrs instead Of selling them. Un-
der the act referred to the lands are open to
settlement on the same conditions as any
public lands, after the payment to the In
dians Of sl.25 per acre for those taken the
first year, and smaller amounts thereafter.
The bill contcmplates the payment Of this
money by the government instead of by the
settler, thereby carrying the terms of tho
old act SO far as the interests Of the Indians
are concerned, and at the same time giving
free entry to settlers on complying with the
homestead laws. This will simply be in
line with the governments past action in
opening Indian reservations from time to
time, for in most, if not all instances, the
government. rather than the settler, has
paid the red man. The presidents procla-
nation is ready to be signed and tho Off.
cial act may come at any hour.

IN A COURT ROOM.
Sensational Proceedings During
Trial In Sookana Eails


SPoKANE FALLS, Wash, Special Telegram,
Perhaps the most remarkable
scene ever witnessed in court room in
Washington was enacted in Justice Curry's
court to-day ut the preliminary cxamilla-
ton of Harry Baer, noted gambler,
charged with the murder of II. McCrossin
Saturday morning lust. All the forces OF
the gamblers have been since brought to
bear to defeat HE ends Of justice aud the
efforts of the Review in procuring wit.
ncsscs and rousns the lax officials tc
sense of their responsibility have mcritcd
and received the approval Of the entire
community. Attorney Graves for the de-
tense made vicious attack upon the Re-
view for its course in searching out
cyc-witncsses Of the tragedy and print
ing their statements, which were widely ut
variance with the testimony at the cor0-
ner's inquest. When Attorney King, for
the prosecution, arose to reply, ringing
cheers arose; the court ordered silence,
and he said: "Your honor, the Review
Is not on trial here. There is
q silly attempt to evadc the law and to
create side issues. The leading paper in
this city has laid bare the facts in this foul
murder conspiracy and has done its duty.
This effort to taint the high services of that
journal is disgrace TO the gentleman at
tempting it," The roar of approval that
greeted these words was dcalcning. The
great audience was not content to applaud
with their hands or feet. Men yelled
and howlcd until they were hoarsc and
all efforts TO restore order woro Of
no avail. The demonstration contnu ucd
until it wore itself out, when, on motion of
the defense, q continuance was granted until
Monday next. Lawyers who have pracicsd
for lifetime say they never saw anything
like the scene that was enacted in the court
room to-day. The case is the sensation of
the street, the barroom, the Office and tho
home. 1t is talked OF everywLerc.
