loS3ON. April T. Crowds Of people
besieged the vicinity Of Bow street early
this morning. and the police court vas
filed with interested spectators as soon
as the doors were opened. Among those
who succeeded in pressing through the
crowd was one good-looling middle
aged woman. All were anxious to see
Oscar Wide. whose arrest yesterday
following close upon the sensational ter
miBation Of his suit for libel against the
Marquis Of Queensbury is discussed GA
all sides. Sir John Bridge, the presid-

bench at IL o'clock. The doors leading
TO the cells were then opened and Wilde
was seen approaching, carrying a silk
hat in his hand When he reached the
center Of the prisoners dock he deposit
ed his hat on the seat, bowed to Sir John
Bridge, folded his arms and leaned on
the rail of the dock in the same insolent
manner which he displayed while on the
witness stand in the Old Bailey.
MIR. Gill said he appeared to prosecute
the prisoner on a series Of charges in ins
citing boys to terrible crimes and of ac-
tually committing acts Of gross indie
cency The first witness, a boy named
Parker. gave damaging testimony
against Wilde. Counsel for Wilde asked
leave TO postpone the cross examination
Of Parker, as the evidence had taken
them By surprise. Parker was then
bound over to testify at the trial Of

Proclamation TO Open Their Lands With.
held Pending an Investigation.
WASHINGTON, April From time to
time protests have been received from
the Yankton Indians against allowing
the state of South Dakota to select lands
in tho coded limits Of the reservation.
The objections are based upon the claim
that if the state obtains the lands in
stead of the settlers. it will be many
years before they can be occupied. The
right Of the state to select lands cannot
be determined until after the lands are
opened for settlement and it makes ap-
plication for selection.
The proclamation for the opening of
the Yankton lands will not be issued IN
til there can be an investigation of the
presentcontentions that exist. Secretary
Smith will determine whether the state
can select the lands and if so, whether
it viii not be compelled also to pay. for
them at the same price as agreed upon
IN the treaty with the Indians. In the
enabling act admitting South Dakota
the state was granted about $4,000
acres of land. 1t is an open ques.
ton whether selections made of coded
Indian lands would not mean that the
state would get them free OF the charges
which settlers have to pay, 1915 per
acre The proclamation will be with
held until the questions are investi.
gated.

Correspondence with Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, April i0.-It would 40,
pear that tbs answer made by Sir Ed
ward Gray In the house Of commons to
the question from Sir George Baden
Powell, ''that the government had not
received any proposal from the United
States to summon 8 conference Of the
powers concerned to deal with the seal
fisheries Of the north Pacific" strongly
resembles technical evasion Of the
point. The correspondence with Great
Britain relative to the Boring sea seal
fisheries is just being published in
pamphlet form by the state department.
and under date Of Jan. IS last appears a
nots from Secretary Gresham to Sir
Julian Psuncefote, the British ambas.
sador, in which Secretary Gresham
spoke Of the deep solicitude on the part
Of the president with regard to the
fnture Of the seal herd, in view Of the
excessive number killed last season.
The president had become convinced
that the regulations in force had not
operated to prevent the destruction Of
the herd and unless a speedy change
was made determination must follow.
Such a deplorable result should, if pos
ibie, be avoided.
Therefore the president urged that a
commissioner be appointed on the part
Of Great Britain, Russia, Japan and the
United States to visit the north Pacific
and report what measures might be
adopted to protect the seals. Meanwhile
Secretary Gresham proposed for the
consideration Of the thrss other govern.
ments q modus Yivendi extending the
scope Of the present regulations so as to
include the entire northern Pacific from
the coast Of the United States to Asia
north Of the S5th degree during the
coming season, and prohibiting all seal.
ing in Bering sea, pending the report of
the commission suggested. In conelu.
zion the secretary Of state suggested the
necessity for speedy action upon this
proposition in view Of the approach Of
the sealing season and the departure Of
sealing vessels. AS Far as can be learned
no answer has yet been received TO this
note from Great Britain.
