~ THE slssEroN LANDS.
Over Five Thousand ssttIsrs Already on
 the Reservation.

BRowN's VALLEY, Minn., April 16.- There are now fully 5000 settlers on the Sisseton reservation. These are pretty well divided between the Northern and Eastern borders. The squatter is mon arch of all he surveys. The filsr is literally out of the running. Gov. Melletts had 260 deputy sheriffs on the reserve heavily armed and instructed to maintain order; peacsably, if possible, forcibly, if necessary. They checked several rows before serious results en- sued.
 Wells are being dug everywhere, and all the squatters apparently intend to live on their land. In a couple of weeks breaking blows will be at work everywhere. There will be good lands open to settlement for weeks, as not half the land has been taken up at this hour. Col. Bernard has received orders to hold the troops here until Monday, but they are not needed.
 The reservation is the source of the Red River of the North, which flow g ul- timately into Hudson's Bay; of the Min nesOta River which crosses the State and empties into the Mississippi near this city, and of the Big Sioux River, which flows south and joins the Missouri River.
 The lands are rich an numerous lakes cover the entire extent of tie reserva- tlon, good portion of which is wooded and of hilly character. In fact, the character of the land reflects much credit on the judgment of the Sisseton Indians, who chose this land as their re- ward for their help to the settlers in the Indian War of 1869.
 For nearly 30 years they held the re- servation intact, but finally concluded they would prefer to have their lands in severalty and live like whites, so the matter was soon arranged with the aid of Commission, and the present scram- ble for lands is the result .
 This reservation is right in the heart of 8 well settled country and small towns and cities are within easy reach of tho settler on whatever part of the reserva- tion hO may make his home. The Great Northern and the Milwaukee Railroads run all around the reservation, while other roads are within easy reach, run ming to some of the many nearby towns

The Railroad Rat. War.

PITTsBURO, Pa, April 16.-A dispatch from Chicago says that the Pennsylvania. Aonon and Big Four rate war is growing hotter every day and spreading rapidly all over the Southeastern country. It promises to disturb rates to every point m Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The MonOn and it's Cincinnati connection has announced 2 reduction of 50 cents in the rate from Chicago to Lima, Pioua, Troy. Deshler and Sydney, by way of Cincin- nati, thus hitting directly at Pennsyl- vania interests and at the same time bringing other roads into the fight. The Erie, for instance, is a direct line to Lima and consequently is forced to meet the Monon's action.

WRECK AND RUIN
The Terrible Destruction in
 the Mississippi Bottoms.
FLOODS SLOWLY sUBsIDINo
Not Likely that Government Aid Will
 be Asked for the Sufferers.

The Total LOss of life Not Yet Aseer-
 tainSd - Bodies of Horses and Cattle
 Found in All Directions - The City Oi Columbia Taking Care of Five Hun-
 drsd RsfuRsos.
 JACKSON, Miss, April I8.-The latest confirm all heretofore said, and as the waters in the TOmbigbee and its tribu- taries' bottoms recede the destruction is more fully realized.
 Deputy Sheriff Crocker, of Lee county, states that he was . passenger on the first Mobile 6 Ohio train that crossed the Tombigbee River in eight days. At that point . half mile of track had been washed up and carried a mile, where it lodged against trees.
 Captain Crocker says the published re- ports do not give half an idea of the wreck and ruin to be seen in Lowndes, Clay and Munroe counties.
 Houses, fences and bridges are all gone. Thousands of dead horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry and the body of an occasional negro can be seen in every direction.
 The Warrior River in Alabama, just across the line, rose forty-seven feet in four hours.
 He relates many incidents of personal suffering among tho negroes, with whom these bottoms were thickly set tied, and upon whom the mad torrents descended with terrible fury, wipinR homes and families out of existence.
 The city of Columbia is feeding 500 refugees, but teleRraphs Gov. Stone that they doubt the wisdom of asking Gov ernment aid, though they would like . few hundred tents for shelter.
 The water is falling in the Yazoo and Big Black rivers in the western portion of the State, and the danger of immedi- ate serious overflow is about aver and trains are running through on time.
 The stories of damage done by the floods in Greene and Sumter Counties are still coming in. Near Gainesville, John Langstone, an old farmer, and his wife and twelve children, while attempt- ing to cross the Tombigbee in a skin, were drowned by the capsiEing of the boat. Around Demopolis great damage has been done, and the cotton crop in the valley of the Tombigbee has been cut of. fully one-half. The river is slowly fall ing. Near EpeS four hundred head of cattle were drowned.

OUR RELATIONS WITH CHILL

Conflicting Reports i'm Connection With
 the Return of Egan and NIcCreary.
 NEW YORK, April 16.-A despatch from Washington to the Commercial Ad- vertiser says that notwithstanding the reports published denying that the United States Government proposes suspending diplomatic relations with Chilli, the fact remains that such is the intention.
 Every possible precaution is being taken by the officials here to prevent the true state of affairs from leaking out. The fact, however, that Minister Egan and Consul McCreary have both been granted leave of absence at the same time is in itself significant and it has been decided beyond doubt that neither of them will return in an official capacity to the little Southern Republic.

c. B: Warner, son of County Commis- sioner H. O. Warner of New Milford, came very near drowning recently. He was walking across the ice on the reser- Voir when the ice broke, plunging him into about 30 feet of water. When he rose he found that he was under the ice, but it was so weak that he suc- ceeded in breaking it, and coming to the surface. The ice broke around him as he took hold of it in an endeavor to get out. His young friend, William Soule, who was with him, came to the rescue, but was instructed by Warner to keep away from the broken ice. Seizing board from the shore of the pond Soule threw it over the hole in such q manner that Warner, almost ex- hausted, was able to struggle out upon -fiEmer ice and escape from his terrible predicaments

AsRIeADoR CLUB TOURNAMENT.

Ehe Rogers 6 Brother Team Won One Match; Co c Forfeited tho Other.
 The contest between the different tup- ot-war teams at City ball yesterday afternoon was attended by about 400 people. Considerable money changed nIanos; put thre was one satisfaction, that none of 1t left the city, but simply went from one side to the other. At S;SO Referee M. J. Colloty announced that the first pull would be between Holmes, Booth 6 Haydens and the Rogers & Brother teams. James Delane and Edward Pagan, timekeepers, stood with the referee, as he gave the word on the first pull. At the end of the pull three inches stood to the credit of the
 6ogers team. The second pull was won py the Holmes, Booth 6 Hay dens' team, by three and one-half inches. the third was won by the out east boys, 1y nine and one-half inches. The Rogers & Brother team had somewhat Cf an advantage in weight; this was overcome possibly by the experience of the other team. The team was com posed of the following: William Aeenan, anchor man; James Broom neld, William Doran, James Devoy. The Holmes, Booth 6 Haydens' team were John Linnehan, anchor man: Francis Lawlor, Henry Gleason, Edward Hay. The contest between the Company c and Abrigador teams resulted as fol lows: The first pull resulted in tie afterIa hard struggle for supremacy. In the second the military lads weak ehed, and when time was up had lost twelve inches of the rope. When time had been called for the third pull, Com. pany G's team changed their anchor man, and protest was entered imme- dIately. The referee decided in accord ance with the articles that had been signed governing the contest, that this was not allowable unless the anchor man was disabled: After giving ainple Clme 10 consider MT Collity decided the contest in favor of the Abrieador team.
