UTAH'S HOPES PlGEONH0LED,
UNCoMPAHGRE PROCLAMATION
INDEFINITELY HUNG UP.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 20, 1895.

Washington, ID, c., Sept. 20, 1893.
The proclamation opening the I'm
compahgre Indian lands Is now lying
at the Interior department, ready Tor
Secretary Smiths approval and sigma
ture. 1t was offered to him yesterday
by the official having 1t in charge, but
he declined to take it, saying that he
was not ready to pass upon 1t. He gave
no idea as to when he will be ready
for the document, and the official put
in back with the remark that he would
not offer it again to the Secretary un-
til he called for it.
1t is not thought here that Secretary
Smith will approve the proclamation
until after President Cleveland's re-
turn to the city, at which time the
Chief Executive and his Secretary of
the Interior can go over the question
fully and finally before issuing the
long-looked for proclamation. Even
when It is issued, considerable time
will elapse between the issuance and
the opening, as Mr.. Smith has said
that any one being eligible would have
time between the two dates to get
from any foreign point and arrive upon
the reservation in time to make entry
Another applicant for the vacant po-
sition on the Uintah and Uncompahgre
Indian commission has appeared in the
person of the son of the deceased COM
missioner, Mr.. William l.. Davis of Ar
kansas. The applicant, like Mr.. Edlein,
the present, clerk, is well recommended
but the latter has the backing of
Messrs, Scott and Byrnes, the present
commissioners.
Secretary Smith today modified the
decision of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office in the case of
Fred w blackwell ct al. VS.. Central
Pacific Railroad company from the
Salt Lake city district. He holds that
| the evidence shows the land In con-
| troversy to be mineral and orders that
the company's selection OF the same on
account of it's grant be cancelled. The
mineral applications of the protestants
| are to be accepted. w. e. A.
