BIG RISE IN STEERAGE RATES.

Placed mt the Highest Figure Ever
Reached Cor This Glass Passage.
NEW YORK, March 6.-The transatlantic
steamship companies have increased their
rates for third class, or steeraSe, prepaid
tickets. The German lines have fixed the
new rate at $3.50 from Bremen or Ham
burg. The other lines are in proportion, and
dependent entirely on the port of embarka-
tion. This is the highest figure ever reached,
veteran steamship men say. A prepaid ticket
represents one purchased on this side of
the Atlantic for the use of some passenger
who may be coming here from the other
side. The increase in the German lines is
more than $4.
One of the steamship agents, when asked
today why the increase was made. said:
"There are several reasons; one is that this
will in all probability be a record breaking
year for third class business. The steam
ship lines will have more demands for steer
age room than they can possibly handle.
Another reason is that the restrictions placed
on immigration, the 81 head tax, which we
have to pay the government, coupled with
the fact that we are forced TO return many
at our own expense, has made the trans
portation of immigrants Improbable at the
old rate !" ..-... .--H .s,.. p. .-E... ...-.rf e.

MAY PERFECT THEIR TITLE
Senator Kyle's Measure to Assist South Da-
kota Settlers.
GREGORY COUNTY WILL BE BENEFITED
Land VIII lie Surveyed and All rrov-
ing n Resident of Five Years
VIII lie Given
Patents.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., March 6.-(Spe-
al)-The Information from Washington that
Senator Kyle's bill, permitting settlers in
Gregory county, this state, to prove up on
their land after residence of five years, had
basn favorably received, will prove welcome
news to the settlers. Fer the benefit Of those
who fail to un lerstand the meaning of this
It can be explained that nearly all the set
tiers in Gregory county have been there
since the land was ceded by the Sioux and
opened to settlement on February TO- 1890,
but owing to the fact that the county was
not surveyed until last season the settlers
have been unable to make entry of the land,
and cannot do so until this spring, when the
plats are expected to be filed in the Cham
berlaln land office. Senator Kyle's bill pro-
vides that those of the squatters who can
show five years residence on the land
claimed ~ them, can, at the time of making
original entry, Immediately give notice of
making final proof. This is a decided inno-
walton in the disposal of public lands, but
will prove of great benefit to many of the
settlers, and will be a fitting atonement on
the part Of the government for the delay in
having the land surveyed.
A struggle for supremacy Is in progress
between DR.. Fred Treon, United States In
dian agent at Crow creek and Lower Bruie
agencies, and Matthew Kean, sub-agent at
Lever Brule Both agencies are under the
jurisdiction of DR.. Treon, his headquarters
being at Crow Creek agency, while Lower
Brule is managed by a sub-agent or clerk in
charge. Kean was appointed to the position
late last spring, to fill the vacancy caused
by the promotion Of Luke G. Hays. the for
mer sub-agent. to the position Of United
States Indian agent at Fort Belknap agency
Montana. Kean's appointment was opposed
by DR.. Treon, and the present difficulty dates
from that time. 1t is understood that
against him. DR.. Treon was called to Wash
ington, presumably in connection with the
present trouble between himself and his
subordinate. Kean is from Lawler, Ia, and

that no one could use Cooper institute Sun

Booth.
There is a probability that STAFF Captain

quell this spirit of rebellion and to gain a

CHICAGO, March 6.-One of the most re-
markable holdups that has ever occurred
in this city took place at o'clock tonight
on Ashland boulevard, the most aristocratic
street on the west side. The victim was
James w. Sheridan, a wealthy brewer, and
he was relived of gold watch, about $500
in cash and pin valued at 5000. The rob-
berry was committed by three men, one of
whom held a revolver against Sherdans
abdomen, while another pressed a gun
against his side. The third man did the
collecting. While the robbery was going
on, several of Mr.. Sheridan's friends passed
by and said: "Good evening, Mr.. Sheri
dan" The victim, persuaded by the re-
volvers which were held against his body,
returned the salutaton in a cheerful tone,
and his friends, thinking he was talking
with the three men, went on their way and
left Sheridan to be robbed. The robbery
was committed on busy street under the
glare of an electric lamp. When it was all
over the thee men ran away, and there
is very little chance of capturing them.
