Washington. Feb. preliminary to
the conference tomorrow between the
secretary Of state and the Hawaiian
annexation commissioners, conferences
were held to-day ut the White House
between the president, Secretaries John
w. Foster and Tracy, and. Attorney
General Miller. Mr.. Foster had a talk
with the president on the subject in the
morning, and in the afternoon they were
again together, with Secretary Tracy ard
Mr.. Miller also present. What was ac-
complished at these conferences cannot
be ascertained, but their frequency and
the length of time they lasted are
grounds for the belief that the govern

to impart to the commissioners at to-
morrow's session beariils on the policy
of the United States regarding the an

Opening Up Yankton Reservation.

Sioux City. Iowa. Feb. 7.-Sylvester
Walburn of Armour was here yesterday
and explained the present status of the
negotiations for the opening of the Yauk-
ton Indian reservation in Douglas and
Charles Mix counties. South Dakota.
He says that the commissioners have
thus far secured the signatures of 100
of the Indians to the agreement to take
the land in severalty. In addition to this
they have the promise of forty-five more
Signatures at once. 1t is necessary to
secure 1872 to make the necessary ma
jority of all the Indians who are heads
of families. The total Indian population
of the reservation is 725. Mr.. Walburn
is confident that the reservation will be
opeI.ed during the present year, or ut
least a year from next spring. He an
%ticipates that when the reservation is
thrown open there will be such u boom
OH the occasion of the entrance of the
land seekers as has never been known
outside of Oklahoma. 1t is also expected
that as soon as the reservation is opened
a branch of the Milwaukee road will be
pushed through either from Yankton or
Armour, probably the former, parallel
with the river and up to Wheeler. or
sc ne other point in the northern part of
Charles Mix county.

The House palmes with 1t.

line HOUSE DdIII0o
Washington, Feb. 4.-The friends of
the anti-option bill obtained a victory
in the house to-day. When the speaker
laid before the house the bill with the
senate amendments thereto he delivered
his decision on the point Of order that
the amendments must first be considered
in committee of the whole. He 6taed
that the bill was laid before the house
for reference only, unless it be a house
bill with senate amendments, which did
not require consideration in the COM
mittee of the whole. The question was
one of fact as to whether the senate
amendments to this bill required such
consideration. In the senate amend
ments the article of flour was men
toned. This was q new and distinct
subject matter of taxation; and it seemed
to the chair that this amendment at least
must have it's first consideration in COM
mittee of the whole. This bill was before
the house for reference to a standing
or a select committee. and not for pres
ent consideration. The judgment of the
chair was that the bill should be re-
ferred to a standing or select committee.
He therefore sustained the point of
OrUer uRuluSG Mr. I1dICn mOSOn W
non-concur in the senate amendments
and to agree to a conference.
Mr.. Hatch did not appeal, but moved
to refer the bill to the committee on
agriculture, and on that motion demand
ed the revious question. Mr.. Boatner
made a point of order that the bill did
not belong to the committee on agri-
culture, but to the committee on ways
and means. The speaker suggested that
it was in the power of the house to refer
the bill to whatever committee it wished.
MI. Kilgore made the further point that
the bill, having been Originally reported
by the committee IN agriculture, that was
its natural reference now, and the chair
had not the right to entertain q motion
to refer it to that committee. If q mo-
ton to refer was made, it should be
made for reference to some other COM
mittee. The speaker overruled the points
of order and held Mr.. Hatch's motion
to be a proper one. The question was
then on MI. Hatch's demand for the
previous question. On a division the vote
stood ITO to IS, and Mr.. Cummings de-
manded the yeas and nays, which were
ordered. The previous question was Or
dered-yeas ISL, nays 48, and the bill
was referred to the committee on agri-
culture without division.
