The Chinese Imperial Reform

While General English, of Yanktonp
Was Not Inclined to Talk of the
Call, He Said There Was No
Cause fer Secrecy.

Yankton, S. D., March 29,-From
what has been admitted here by Gen
eral Edmond f. English, of the staff
of the Chinese imperial reform army,
the long expected movement of the
army towards the celestial empire is,
already under way. 1t is understood
from an unQuestioned source, the truth
of which has been admitted by Gen
eraI English, that orders ave gone
forth for 4 number of picked men from
among the junior officers of the as
ISOLATION "a shortly proceed to China
to act as military attaches under the
eighteen viceroys of the empire. These

General English, while he was still
disiuclined to talk, stated there was

there was at first, as the movement in
China, from being confined TO a few
thousand men, has HOW grown to 49,

TREATED UNFAIRLY.
A.. &. Clark Of Rosebud, S. q, Makes
Protest.

EISlSSls
Rosebud, S. D., April %.-Hhe New
York Tribune of March &c contains a
letter from A. b. Clark, missionary AT
the reservation here, dated February
-, in which he complains that the In
dian department is not treating the In
dams fairly in the matter OF reductions
from their annuitieS to pay for edu-
cation Of those Indian children whose
parents elect to have them educated in
sectarian schools rather than in the
government schools. He quotes Indian
Commissioner Leupp to the effect that
the Indians may contribute to sec
tartan schools for their own eduCa-
ton and the amount they contribute
may be deducted from their annuitieS
whenever they understand clearly that
they are paying for their oWn educa-
ton outside of the government schools
A telegram Of instruction from the
commissioner to the Indian agent at
Rosebud says Payment of contract
(for sectarian schouling) will be made
out Of all trust and treaty funds named
in the petition to the extent of the
shares of the petitioners n petition
ers' children, the total Of Which win
be deducted from the total mount
Of said funds whenever a distribution
is mad, thus reducing to such an eN-
tent the shares of all Rosebud In
dams
MI. Clark gathers from this that the
payments to the sectarian schools are
to be taken out of the trust and treaty
funds and charged up to the Indians
regardless Of whether they attend sec
tartan schools or not. This proVokeS
a protest from Mr.. Clark, who wants
to know If there is Il political or CO.
Jesuitical combination compelling the
~sufferance of this WTong.'
Bishop Hare of South Dakota gets
into the matter by q communication
from Charleston, February IS. to MI
Clark, in which he says: MI. LeupE
called on me last summer at Sioux
Falls and assured me that everything
would be aboVeboard and fair here
after"
When these communications were
brought to the attention of Commits
SiOner Leupp, he replied, outlining the
plan of utilizing the indian trust funds
in payment of education at sectariar
schools and criticising quite severely
Mr.. Clark n Bishop Hare for miscOn-
ceiving or misstating the plan of the
department. He contends that it is
i,till the purpoS of the department to
allow the Indians. when they desire
to contribute to their own education
in the Sectarian schools, but that it il
not the intention of the government
that any n who does not wish to so
contribute shall be compelled to do so
In view of this position assumed by
Mr.. Ieupp, ms telegram quoted above
does not clearly state his position. He
does not intend to make every Indiar.
pay pro rata for the sectarian edu-
| cation enjoyed by comparatively few,
althouf / he does not make his inten.
ton very distinct and clear in his tele-
gram. This much, at least, can be
stated: hat when the balance sheets
are made up it will no doubt appear
to be the preference of the president
and the policy of the commissioner
to avoid carefully any discrimination
in favor of or against any sect engaged
in teaching and preaching to the In
4 dams.

HO, FOR THE WEST!
Lands a Few Years Ago Spurued Are
Eagerly Grabbed Now.

B-itton, S. D., March 29.-Everything
indicates that there will be a great rush
next month for lands in the abandoned
Fort Sisseton military reservation, near
here, which are to be offered for sale dur
ing April.
When the territory now embraced in the
prosperous and growing state of South
Dakota was yet an almost UNEMPLOYED re-
gion, the United States government de-
cided to establish a military post in this
locality, and selected a site for the post
in the southeastern portion of what is now
Marshall county, of which Brittou is the
county seat.
On the site selected were erected ex-
pensive buildings for the shelter Of a con-.
siderable force Of soldiers, who were in
sufficient numbers to hold in check the
thousands of Sioux warriors who then
roamed at will through this entire region.
The brick for one of the buildings erected
at the post was hauled by OK team from
ST. Cloud, Mimi, 5 distance OF nearly
three hundred miles. Brick was burned OF
the ground for the remainder of the build
ings except such as were constructed Of
stone.
A number of years ago the military post
was abandoned by the government, and
the land which had been set aside under
the name of the Fort Sisseto1 military re-
servation, was coded by the United States
government to the state of South akota.
The land Is now a part of the state school
lands, the proceeds from which go toward
the support Of the public school system
of South Dakota, which before many more
years lave passed will be entirely self
supporting.
The Fort Sisseton military reservation
embraced a total Of about 10000 acres Of
rolling prairie land, with a few small
lakes. The greater portion Of the land is
adapted to the raising Of general crops,
the soil being of a very rich characters
For a number of years the land has been
leased by the state to cattlemen for graz
ing purposes. Much Of 1t still is under
lease.
However, the leases having expired on
the larger share Of one township, it was
decided by the state school land author
tiles to offer the tract for sale during
April. The tract to be sold will afford
opportunities for farming and grazing pur-
poses which cannot be furnished by any
other country in the state. +,
The sale and settlement of the land
will prove of great benefit to Britton and,
Marshall county in general.

Nota.

ncld last year at Herrick, and brought
.Ogether a large ~ConCourSe of people.
The program for the two days the ceIe-

ed andS will unite in making the cele-
bration one to be long remembered.

from outside the county will be pres
ent to aid in making the celebration
the greatest ever held in southern
South Dakota.
Two other celebrations will be held
by the people of Gregory county dur
ing the summer. The first will be in
observance of Flag Raising day." on

will unite in observing the day. This
celebration, as well as the other gen.
eral celebration, to be held on July 4,
will be held at the new town of Greg
Dry.
On May l last year the settlers on
the coded Rosebud lands met at Greg

people of South Dakota in general will
b. gratified to know that the cOntro-

action taken at a meeting in this city
some weeks ago by the democratic
state central committee.
The test case will come before Judge
Marquis, of the state circuit court for
COdington county, on Tuesday fore
noon of next week. There is no doubt
that no matter how he decides the
ease, the side which loses will appeal
the case to the state supreme court,
as it is desired to secure a decision on
the matter from the highest court in
the state.
AS the action to test the constitu-
~tionality of the new law was instituted
by the democrats, the republican state
organization has taken steps to pro-
tect the interests of the republicans of
South Dakota by engaging the services
