The Cheyenne and Arapahoe Lands Soon
to Fe Open For settlement-the Aiiot-
meDts About CompIeted-An Oklahoma
Rush to he Guarded Against.
WASHINGTON, March 2l-The next
reservation opening in the Indian ter
ritory will lack the exciting features
which have characterized its two pre-
decessors. Something of a surprise is
being prepared at the interior depart
ment The work of alloting lands in
severalty to the Cheyennes AMI Arapa-
hoes has been crowded forward until
now it is virtually completed. Little
remains u be done previous TO the
presidents proclamation opening the
surplus land That proclamation may
be expected in a few days. II win diff
fer from other proelamatipns for like
purposes, in that it will fix the date Of
opening very closely following the
dete of proclamation. There viii be
no time for the collection Of crowds Of
boomers and for preparations for
grand rush.
Secretary Noble desires 10 get the
reservation opened without such scenes
as were witnessed when Oklahoma was
opened. lie also wishes to letthe bona
fde settlers in early enough to prepare
for spring planting. He has, therefore,
double purpose in fastening the Off
cial announcement Maj. Eugene +.
Weigel, of St. Louis, special agent of
the interior department, is now on the
reservation getting cverg thing in rcadi-
ness for the land Office business which
will set in. News has been re-
ceived from him that few
days ago he had narrow es-
cape from drowning N a branch
OF the Canadian river. The reserva-
tion of the Cheyennes AMI Arapahoes
embraces about g, 500, 600 acres The
allotment to the Indians has cut the
amount to be opened to settlement
down to about 3 500, 600 acres. This is
enough for Il. 500 homesteads, or would
be il it was all good land. But there
is a field for selection. In the western
part of the reservation there is some
very poor land The best lies just
west of the Oklahoma line. The land
by the Indians is said to be
about the center OF the reservation.

KANSAS WHEAT CROP.


Bright Prospects said Not to Have Been
Affected by the Cold Weather.
KANSAS CITY. Mo, March 2l,-The
present period of cold weather follow
ing so suddenly upon several warm,
spring-like days has naturally caused
some anxiety among business men Of
Kansas City regarding the prospects
for the Kansas wheat crop The acre
age of the state is fully equal to last
year, that is TO say. it exceeds 3 100000
acres, and because of an exceptionally
favorable winter a poor field pros
pect has developed into a most prom
ising outlook for n crop The best
judges in the state did not hesitate 10
predict Previous to the present cold
spell that Kansas would raise as big a
wheat crop in 1892 as she raised in 1897.
The information received indicates
that these bright prospects have not
been affected by the cold weather A
few grain men ia Kansas report proba-
bic damage, but the great majority are
of the opinion that the wheat has not
been hurt There is a note cf danger,
however, in some of the reports.

EXTENDING CIVIL SERVICE.

Mr.. Andrew, of Massachusetts, Has B.ll
Extending the civil Service to Govern
ment Laborers ana Others.
WASHINGTON March % -Represent-
ative Andrew, OF B 1ston has com
pleted the report upon his bill, TO ex-
clude political influsnce ia the employ
ment Of laborers under the authority
of the United States" and submitted
1t to the house to-day. Tho bill, ac-
cording to the reports he has received,
will affect some 81, 900 employees and
will require that hence 'orth they shall
be appointed or employed without re-
gard 10 political considerations The
report corrects misapprehension
which it is said is held by soms army
and navy officers that the system
contemplated by the bill will re-
quire cerlillcations through the civil
service commission The only pur-
pose OF tho Legislation, Mr. Andre "
points out, is to compel the appoint
mcnt OF properly qualified men in the
order of their application, and this
urpose can bs carried ont by the Off
GERS authorized to give the employ
ment without any cumbersome ma
chinery. Mr.. Andrew gives a table,
compiled from recent statistics, show
ing that the official force of the gov
crnment in the executive departments
is 173, 100, and that OF Oh number only
-, 726 are actually subject TO competi-
tive examination.
Mr.. Andrew states that the method
proposed OF excluding political intlu-
enee from the employ utent of laborers
is not an untried experiment and he
quotes the system inaugurnted by Sec
rotary Tracy ia the nav yards, and in
force in the cities of Massachusetts, for
the past seven years in proof Of this
