Whether to Open or Not to Open the
YanIEtOn Sioux Reservation.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-There is a
possibility of some delay in the open
ing of the Yankton Sioux reservation
in South Dakota for settlement. The
president has had draftof a procla-
nation before him for approval for
same time, but does not seem inclined
to pass upon it, possibly be-
cause of the numerous protests that
have been received at the interior de-
partment relative to the opening of
the lands. Another matter that may
cause delay is the fact that number
of squatters are now on the lands and
it may require the use of force to eject
them.
The people of the state are anxious
for the opening and inquiries by let
ter and kilograms are received asking
for information.

A Railroad in Trouble.

The Tennessee Central Railroad is in
trouble, bin having been filed in the
chancery court of Cumberland County
by a number of the creditors. 1t is
claimed that there is at least 500, ,o00
due for labor, supplies, ETC., and the bill
asks the sale of the incompleted road
for the payment of these debts, and an
injunction preventing the railroad COM
pany from disposing of its securities or
bonds. The litigation may seriously
delay the completion of the road, which
was to connect Nashville with the Cin'
elnnah Southern.

The Coast-Defense Cruiser Monterey En-
Route for Corinto.
WAsHINGToN, April Ss--The coast
defense vessel Monterey is expected to
proceed down the Pacific coast to
Corinto, Nicaragua, at the rate of
eight knots per hour, although she
may be pushed as rapidly as ten knots
on portions of the cruise. On her
acceptance trial, for four hours,
she ran at the rate of 1876
knots, but her coal would soon
give out at such a rate. She will
travel 200 knots per day and she
would reach San Diego, 451 miles
from San Francisco, in two days and a
half. Stopping there two days for
coal, she should reach Acapulco, 1,493
miles further, in about a week, and
after two days for coal at that point
ought to arrive at Corinto, 800 miles
beyond, four days later, or total of
about fifteen days from the time she
left San Francisco.

NEW YORK, April o.-Bradstreets to-
day says:
The appearance Of more settled weather, to-
gether with the continued strength of cotton,
stimulating manufactur to demand higher

increases in wages of industrial employees,
heaviest shipments OF wheat abroad, and the
rush of the volume Of the weeks bank clear
ings above the SIC, 600 900, 900 mark, are evil

SUGAR TRUSTS new VENTURE.
A Company to DIstin By-PrOducts-The
Whisky Trust.

New YORK, April 6.-Wan street was
surprised yesterday at a report that
the Sugar Trust was going into the
distilling business. The story was am
plified until it appeared that the trust
was to start in a big opposition to the
Whisky Trust. Treasurer John E.
Searles, of the American Sugar Refin-
ing company denied the report of a
fight against the whisky people. He
said: A discriminating duty in France
against American syrups has made it
impossible for us to export low grade
spirits from the refneries. We have
made an arrangement whereby an in
dependent company will be incorpo-
rated to distill these by-products of the
refineries. One of our old refneries in
Brooklyn will be utilized. 1t will be
altered to manufacture alcohol and
high wines from the by-products.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
The Legislature.

The general assembly reconvened last
week after a recess of forty-fivo days.
| Nearly all of the members were on hand.
The features of greatest interest were
the adoption of a resolution stopping
work on the new prison, the rejection of
bill which sought to prevent the use
of screens in saloons, and the passage
by the house of the bill regulating tel
ephone charges.
The prison resolu tion was offered by
the penitentiary committee, and is as
follows:
Whereas, The further prosecution of work In
the erection OF the new penitentiary upon the
Cockrill farm, near Nashville, is deemed unwiSe
and inexpedient at present by the penitentiary
purchasing and building committee, by the at
torney- general and the penitentiary inveStigat-
ing committee; and,
Whereas, John P. Fulcher & Co. have testified
before said committee their willingness to aban-
don work; therefore, in order to save further
and useless expenditure and further complica-
tions, be it
Resolved by the general assembly, That fur
ther work upon said new penitentiary shall
cease, and no further funds be expended In pay
ment therefor to John p. Fulcher s. Co. or to
Architects w. c. Smith and Ed Laurent until
OtueTWlSe QlrecIeQ.
The senate rejected the bill to legal
ice primary elections and passed the
bill to permit the killing of strange and
unknown dogs running at large.
The house tabled the bill amending
the road law SO as to make only persons
from Fl to As years liable to road duty.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the books, accounts, etc., of the
bureau of agriculture reported. The
receipts of the Office were shown to have
been $17,624 O5, and the expenditures
$17,272. 40, leaving balance of $35L65.
The report compliments the commits
sioner very highly, and recommends the
same appropriation as two years ago
accommodating the fees from the sale
of fertilizer tags.

whipped by whitecaps.

News comes of a whitecap raid near
Cane Creek Church, about ten miles
southwest of Martin. A negro named
Will Metlock was aroused at late hour
at night. He got up and opened the
door, when twelve masked men fled
into the room, and. without ceremony,
proceeded to give Metlock a terrible
whipping. They then made the negro
whip his wife numerically, and in turn
forced her to whip her husband, after
which they told the negro he would be
given ten days in which to leave the
neighborhood, with threats of his life
if he failed to leave. The men then
left. The community is very much
wrought up over the occurrence, but no
clew as to who the marauders are can be
learned. The cause for the negro's
punishment is not known.
