THE ROSEBUD LANDS.
Presidents Position Of Demanding
That They Be Sold by Bidding
Causes Trouble,

Washington, D. c., March 2.-Repre-
sentative Martin Of South Dakota had
a long conference with the president
today on the manner of dlsposing of
the 10000 acres of land Of the Rose
bud reservation in Gregory county,
which will soon be thrown open. Mr..
Martin and the South Dakota members
generally feel that the price OF the
land should be fixed in accordance with
the usual practice.
The president is disposed to want
competing. bidding. To this Mr.. Martin
is strongly opposed, and it is under
stood his constituents are also. 1t Is
uncertain how the question will be set
tied. The efforts will be made to con
vert the president from his position, as
1t is felt that 1t would interfere with the
disposal Of the lands to have COM
petive bidding. The bill for the open
ing has passed the house n will
doubtless pass the senate soon June
| is the date Mr.. Martin thinks the
ands will be opened.

VICTORY FOR HULL
Returns, Show That He Carries Nearly
Every Precinct in Polk County
Over Iudna ProutY.

OvST SO0SS "
Des Moines. Ia. March 2.-Returns
from flfty-one precincts in Polk couh-
ty, with twenty precincts to hear from,
gave Captain J.. "A. T. Hull. candidate
for congress, 1875 delegates out of PA.
Judge Carr, one of Judge Prouty's
managers, comedies the county to Hull
by a majority Of from Is to 20 dele
gates.
The result Of the primaries seems to
be a landslide for Captain Hull. The
charges that We're made before the pri-
mary, that Judge Prouty's organiza-
ton would be unfair in counting the
ballots, wa not realized. However,
there was considerable criticism of the
character Of the ballot used which per-
mitted the markings to be seen through
the paper.
The fight for the nomination will now
be transferred to the district. There is
q movement on foot to combine the dis
trict against Captain Hull, the Polk
county candidate. Polk county's rep
resentation fell off in the last election
and no longer controls the convention.

Meeting Of National Guard Officers.

Aberdeen, S. D., March 2.-The meet
ing held in this city in response to q
call issued by a number of National
Guard officers, resulted in the postpone
ment of the effort to organize q Ma
tional Guard association for the present
at least. A considerable number Of
the officers urge that join action on the
part of all Is necessary in order to bring
the guard up to the proper efficiency
and that the proposed organization
would enable all to enter into the dis
cussions without regard to rank.
Those who We're instrumental n.having
the call issued have been urging for
some time the necessity Of securing the
detail of g regular army officer as an
instructor for the guard; also of hav-
ing a brigadier general appointed to
command the brigade as it now exists.
