Cleveland, O., May 23.-District Cap
tain Paul Howell, of the Masters and
Pilots association, declared Saturday
that he is now thoroughly convinced

no desire, at this time, to end the dead
lock between the two organizations,
that is SC effectually tying up commerce
on the great lakes.
Il know whereof 1 speak," said Capt.
Howell, when | state that the Lake
Carriers have deliberately entered into
a tacit agreement to keep their vessels
in port until such a time as freight rates
are pushed to abnormal figures as a re-
suit Of the tie-up.
We have offered to make every rea-
sonable concession to the vessel owners
in order to settle the controversy. They,
however, show NO disposition to meet
us even half way, on any of the propo-
sitions at issue. No means of suspend
ing shipping generally in order to force
up rates could be devised that would
prove SO effectual and binding upon the
members Of the Lake Carriers asso-
citation as the present lockout"

Indemnity Selections.

Under the provisions of the bill
opening the Rosebud reservation, Gov.
Herreid made selections for indem-
nifty lands on that reservation, to in
demnify the state for lands which
had been selected by the Indians as
~severalty tracts, on sections 16 ana
SO, which We're granted to the state
as public school lands.
A total of 6,s46.15 acres were Sc
lected, which is two acres less than
the indemnity granted. The bill linn
tied the selections to two sections in
any own township, and this scattered
them over different parts of the land
to be opened. Immediately after these
selections have been filed in the land
office at Chamberlain, the department
at Washington will issue the procla-
nation declaring the land opened for
drawings by lot by settlers.

Dares DEFY Congress.

There is n reservation in Wash
ington which is to I'll intents and pur-
poses outside of the jurisdiction of the
United States government. The Ma
tional botanic garden just at the foot
of the capitol where Pennsylvania
avenue runs up against the capitol
grounds, is presided over by William
r. Smith, the superintendent, who is
a law under himself.
Smith is a Scotch gardener with a
pronounced burr, who got his early
training in the Kew gardens in London
and he has been in command in his lit
tie domain for 80 many years that
members of congress, who are nomi-
nally his superiors, would not think of
interfering with the old mans wishes.
So it happens that with the exception
of the white house grounds the botanic
garden is the only public reservation
in Washington which is now enclosed
by a fence.
Years ago high iron fences surround
ed every park and public place in the
national capitol, but by order of con-
SASoo my WIZ IohSA uo"A OuG ny
one. Congress enally landed on the
botanic garden and somebody thought
lessly considered in an appropriation
bill a provision for tearing down the
fence. Smith calmly ignored the law.
When the officials came to him to car
ry the law into execution he ordered
them off and infol ned them that so
long as he remained superintendent of
the botanic garden it was going to be
inclosed by a fence as it had been ever
since he was put into control. When
congress came back they received the
old mans ultimatum with amused toll
erance and he received assurances that
he would never be annoyed again.
But a few years later somebody else
absent-mindedly inserted a second pro-
vision for tearing down the fence and
again the canny Scotchman ignored
the law Of congress. This time the
thing went SO far that the members of
the appropriations committee who
were responsible for the slip came
down to the botanic garden and apollo
gized for their mistake.

Phenomenal.

A peculiar phenomena in the arte-
sian well line exists at Chamberlain.
A new power well has during the last
few days been accepted from the drill
lers by the Electric Light Company.
The well was to have been put down
to the third flow, discovered several
years since in putting down a new
city well. In this new power well just
put down the hole goes down to the
third flow, but owing to difficulty in
casing the well the pipe only goes
down to the second flow, and as there
was sufficient power developed the
well was accepted in this condition.
The peculiar feature is that within
the past few days a number of old
wells that had become practically dry
have again begun throwing up good,
strong streams-almest as good as
originally. The old power well at the
Electric Light plant has increased
from 25 running pounds pressure per
square inch to IS pounds, and the
horse power of the well has been in
creased almost three-fold. The old
city well is throwing out a stream
almost as good as ever, and several
old wells at the flour mill of II.

Jack SulIy.

#EE+ ~
The notorious desperate, Jack Sui
", who, for many years, has been the
terror of the Rosebud country, is no
more.
In a running fight with officers on
the Rosebud reservation he was
killed, many bullets finding lodgment
in his body, while the horse upon
which he attempted tt make his
escape also shared the fate of it's mas
ter.
The circumstances leading up to
the tragic end are htese:
A week or ten days ago Sully stole
a bunch of nearly 200 cattle belong
ing to various neighboring ranchers.
He took a bunch of seventy-four
down across the Nebraska line and
sold them for twenty dollars per
head, receiving half cash and half pa
per. He cashed the paper.
Soon after, Granddaughter Long
secured track of the cattle and, ac-
companied by their owners, Harry
Ham and Hugo Schilding, recovered
them and returned them to the home
range.
As a result of the exploit United
States Commissioner Tidrich, of this
City, on Saturday morning sent ont
Deputy United States Marshal Petrie,
Brand-Inspector Long, Sheriff Irish of
Brule county, Deputy Sheriff Jesse
Brown of Lyman county, and Harry
Ham, to bring in Sully, dead or alive.

The Botanic Garden.

There is no more interesting spot in
Washington than this same botanic
garden which Superintendent Smith
guards so jealousy. There is a flavor
OF old time about it which makes it
different from any other spot and
which the fond superintendent protects
with all of his might.
Every tree in the place has a history.
Most of them were set out by distin-
guished people to whom the old Scotch
man has taken a fancy. One magnil-
cent water beech was planted 35 years
ago by John A. Bingham of Ohio.
nearby it are two poplars, one of which
was set out by Edwin Forest, the ira
gedian, the other by his friend, John
w. Forney. The wife of jefferson Da,
Wis dedicated mi tree still standing
when Davis was secretary of war. In
short there are not many men who
have gained great distinction since
Smith has been superintendent of the
gardens who have not been 1attered
by him with an invitation to plant a
tree.
OF equal interest with the garden it,
sell, as may be imagined, is the old
Scotchman who is it's presiding genius.
Not only is he a horticulturist Of rare
devotion, but he is religiously attached
to his national songster, Robert BURNS
and he possesses the finest collection
of editions of Burns works which can
be found in the United States.
To the mind of Superintendent Smith
the greatest Of all public men within
his memory was William Pitt Fegsen-
den OF Maine. He ranks Fessenden nm
q level with Lincoln as one Of the two
men who saved the nation at the time
Of the civil war and he has a standing
grievance against every other native
of Maine because none Of them has va
shown sufficient devotion to Fessen-
denis memory to write his life.
In Smiths mind the greatest
achievement of the Maine statesman
was in securing an appropriation for
erection of the conservatives ia the
garden, which are the5apple of Smiths
eye. Fessenden was chairman OF fhe
library committee In the senate inst
at the close of the war. When Smith
went before the committee timidly ia
get a small appropriation to begin The
work, the Maine senator bluntly asked
how much it would coststo eonplete
the job and then insisted on maxine
the entire appropriation Of s35, 900 al
once. LOUIS A. COOLIDGE.
