St. Pail, April 15. Reports from the
Sisseton Reservation indicate that the

country isa sea of mud and water, and

Indian Reservation!.
Guthrie, 0. T., April 15 Wlion the
news arrived today that the pre clamation
opening the Cheynne and Araphoe
lands at noon, Auril Itf, had been issued,
the people went wild in every town
along the bordor of the reservation.
Couriers at once started in every direc

towns for weeks. They at once began
packing up, preparatory to an early start

advice of lawyers, they propose to make
a fight for their rights.
TRR HK THE KINGTON TRIAL.
3'artleularsortue Case From Late Yoko
hama Paporg.
8an Francisco, April 15. The Yoko
hama papers, which arrived on the
Bteamer China, contain reports of the
first three days' proceedings of the trial
of Lieutenant Hetberington for the shoot
ing of Uower Robinson. In his address
for the prosecution H. C. Litchfield
dwelt upon the fact that Robinson and
Hetberington bad a quarrel on January
1, and had been separated by friends.
Then the matter seemed to be dropped.
Litchfield claimed HotliHrington's acts
showed that he shot Robinson in cold
blood and that his act was premeditated.
The testimony of tho9e who witnessed
the shooting was similar to that given at
the inquest. The only new testimony
was given by Constable McCanee, of the
United States consulate, and by Lieu
tenant Rugers, of the Marion. The
constable testified that when Hethering
ton came to the consulate immediately
after the shooting, he was greatly ex
cited. Witnesses heard him say, as he
walked up and down waiting impa
tiently for the conBul-gencral to appear :
"Oh, if I had only followed my first
impulse and had used that whip. 1
tried to scare him, only I lost control of
myself. Lieutenant Rogers testified
that he was a friend of Hetherinifton ;
then he added : "I went with him to
the Union Club on the 1st of January,
and with him saw Gower RohinBon.
Mr. Read was there, as well as some
others. We went there with the inten
tion of horsewhipping Robinson. Heth
erington was very much excited at the
time, hut he was pacified, and no whip
ping was done. In February I saw
Real, and gave him to understand that
Robinson was coming back, if so that
there would be trouble, and asked him
to keep Robinson from coming back."
In cross-examination, the lieutenant
said Read declared he had washed his
hands of the whole matter since Jan
uary 1. Read remarked that it would
be better to let Robinson coma back and
take his whipping, as it would do him
good,

off' for duty in Behring sea. She will lay
down the two lines, and is expected to
return to this country in the course of

much slower ship than the Albatross.

rumors are tnat the purchase ot the re

move, but this was denied today by
William A. Mears, superintendent of the
sales department. The closing is only
temporary, he said, and the refinery will
be running again in ten days or two
weeks. The primary cause was the re
cent destruction by fire of the barrel
plant, which greatly handicapped them.

A SEW PHASE OF THE DIFFICULTY
Probabilities That ttie Army of Pinkerton
Hen Sent Into the Country Will
Rerer Come Out Allre.
Cheyenne, April 15. There is great
doubt if any of the Pinkerton merce
naries, who have been smuggled Into
Juhnsbn county to shoot the ranchmen,
will ever come out alive. The fight in
Big Horn basin is not, as has been stated,
between the cattlemen and the rustlers,
but between the big cattle companies
and the ranchmen, who are fencing the
fertile land. Some cattle have been
stolen, and this has been magnified to
such an extent that the peonle eenerallv
believe that the inhabitants of the basin
are thieves. Now that the Pinkertons
are in the basin, they will find it hard to
get ont. The mercenaries were organ
ized in Denver and brought to this point
on a special train, when they were
herded into the isolated country by their
masters, ostensibly to prevent cattle
stealing, but really to exterminate the
peaceable ranchers. Ihe situation is
desperate. Everybody knows the facts,
but every man fears his neighbor and
refuses to talk. Governor Barber de
clines to send the militia into the field,
saying that he has no knowledge, olti
cially, of any trouble in Johnson county,
but evorybody knows that mon are being
killed there daily. The sheriff of the
couuty is a man whe is in sympathy with
the small ranchmen. He is a man of
great nerve, and it, as is clearly his duty
to do so, he should call on the citizens to
assist him in arresting this armed force
that has without autuoritv of law, in
vaded his county, he could ouicklv
gather about him 200 or 300 cowboys who
are familiar with the conntry and at
heme in the saddle, and, in ttiat event,
there is little chance of any of the invad
ing party getting out alive. While the
majority of small ranchmen are honest
and industrious, they are all desperate
and daring, with but very few cowards.
And though this invading party may be
only after a few of the worst thieves', the )
small ranchmen do not know whom
they have on their list, so that it nuts
each and every one of them on t he defen
sive. I

Dr.
Flelrt Hpauldlng Makes Another nf
His Periodical Changes
Bohton, April 14. The announcement
that the Rev. James Field Hpaulding ip to
return to the Episcopal church has
created a sensation among religious peo
ple nere. yja tne last ftunuav ol last
November Dr. Hpaulding, who bad beeu
for twelve years rector ot (Jlinst Lpibco
pal church", Cambridge, formally an
nounced to his people that he intended
to enter the Roman Catholic church. In
his sermon on that occasion he explained
that he could no longer feel at home in
the Episcopal church because of its
rationalism, (reethinking and toleration
of unbelief. Coming as it did last as
the excitement over the confirmation of
Bishop Brooks, his withdrawal was re
garded as significant. People nere be
lieved that it would be followed by the
withdrawal of many other high church
Episcopalians who wero scandalized by
the election of I nr. Brooks. This was
not the case, however, and now it is ap
parent that even In ti e case of Dr.
Hpaulding the step was hasty and ill-advised.
Dr. Hpaulding was originally a
Lutheran, then a Baptist, then an
Episcopalian; but even that did not.
prevent him from accepting or rejecting
Catholicism. He would seem to have
run the gamut of religions experience.
It is not known what induced him to re
consider hiB acceptance of Catholicism ;
but those who know him beRt say that
he probably accepted it largely on senti
mental grounds, and that a closer ac
quaintance with it convinced him that it
was not what he really wanted. He can
again enter the Episcopal ministry if be
so aefires, ana it is generally Believed
here that be will do so. -

by the house of the Gearv Chinese -bill
the Chinese minister began lo have his
doubts of the honesty of his English
speaking assistant on account of the nu
merous letters received from ChincBS
merchants in San Francisco, New York,
Denver and other places remonstrating
against the passage of the bill, which
they said was a monatrons measure, and
calculated to do them irreparable injury.
no, it appears, in nis translation ot the
bill had made it appear a very inotfmisive
document. Instead of a very stringent
one and had partially got ihe idea into
the minister 8 heart that it would not be
such a very grtat calamity after all,
should It pass. His suspicions aiouf d,
the minister sent all his l'.ughsu Ictura
and papeis to New York for transition
there. Just at the time the Geary bill
was passing the minister learned its true
coutonta. Then there was a scene and
an abrupt dismissal. It is Bald Ilo's
reaxons for misleading his chief were
entirely selfiah. Ho had arranged with
C. P. Huntington, Stevens and others to
vet from the Chinese government the
forfeiting banking and railroad conces
sions that once had been granted to
Count Mitkiewicz, snd had already made
arrangements to proceed to China on
thitf- errand with Mr. Stevens, and pos
sibly u. Mil !!,', n(
lars were to he involved in the enormous
projects. His idea was to keep
the
American ann Chinese governments on
good terms if possible, eo as to further
his own ends, and for that reason he
blinded the whole legation as to tho true
condition of things as long an possible.
Unfortunately tortus scheme, tie tlioiiKtit
the Geary bill would be held bjcli un'il
the close of (he session, which would
iiive him plenty of time to carry out his
plan. Geary sjoiled all, however, by
unexpectedly suspending the rules and
pausing the bill in one hour.
