The Yankton Lands.

All signs now indicate that it may
be some time before the Yankton In
dian reservation is opened for settle
ment. The commissioners who have
been negotiating with these Indians
during the past few months for the
REIMBURSEMENT OF a portion Of their
reservation TO the government, Sc
cured the required number of sigma
lures, but many OF the Indians now
claim that they signed the treaty I'M
der a mistaken idea of what il really
provided for, and in consequence the
Indians threaten to send a delegation
Of chiefs TO Washington to light the
ratification Of the treaty by congress
at its next session. The treaty nego-
tiated by the commissioners must be
ratified by congress before the reser-
walton can be opened for settlement,
and 1t is before that body that the
Indians propose TO block further
steps. Should they succeed, il will
be a great disappointment to the hun
dreds of homesteaders who have had
their eyes cast longingly in that di-
rection for several years.
