Grand POw-wOV-EsCOmm endatOry
ssrunLs.r
The Secretary of the Interior, Commis-
sioner Parker, Gen. Smith, and Messrs.
Collier and Brunot, met led Cloud and
other Indian delegates to-day in grand
council. The Indians were rugged in tull
finery, and seemed impressed with the i'm
portanee of the council. Secretary Cox
made long address to the Indians in be-
half of the President, assuring them that if
they would go to their reservations and
keep the peace all rations and goods prom
Used would be sent by the Government,
and an agent sent to them to see that they
get everything. In regard to giving them
arms and ammunition. the Secretary said
they would not be given them at present,
but after they have kept themselves peace
able on their reservations for time these
would be furnished.
Red Cloud replied, saying the white
people had constantly showed red men
that the CHEAT Father may be good and
kind, but he did not see it that the people
of the Great Father had left them nothing
but an island. He said blood was on the
grass about the line of Fort Fetterman-
Tell the Great Father to remove that fort,
then we will be peaceful and there will be
no more trouble. He wanted no roads on
the Black Hills or on Big Horn Mountain,
and wanted the stakes now there removed.
He demanded ammu milton, asking if the
Great Nation was afraid of him? He only
wanted it to kill game. He supposed he
must go to farming, but didn't want to just
yet His remarks elected commentary
grunts from the Indians present. Little
Bear then followed, complaining Of bad
treatment. Secretary Cox promised that
their complaints should be attended to by
the Great Father.
Two More Votes.
The San Domingo treaty is stronger by
the votes of two Senators, who have come
over to its support during the past two
weeks. 1t only needs one or two more to
insure its passage.
Naturalization.
The Republican members of the House
Judiciary Committee have for some time
agreed to report a bill taking the power Of
naturalization out of the hands of the State
courts and placing it in the control of the
Federal courts 1t is the intention to re-
port and pass this measure the last of this
week. The Democratic members are pre-
pared to fiercely assail it, regarding it as
more of a partisan scheme than the recent
enforcement bill The New York city
members regard it as virtual attempt to
wrest New York city from Democratic con-
troll.
Affairs in Cuba.
Gen. Jordan, the Cuban commander,
disbelieves the reported capture by the
Spaniards of a part of the cargo Of the
Upton, as he had personally warned the Of
fetal in charge from going 10 that part Of
the coast where the captureis reported, and
had specially inhibited any attempt to land
in that quarter, as the coast was guarded
by gunboats, while many of the Spanish
posts were on the shore, thus obstructing
communication with the interior. He does
not think, therefore, that, in disobedience
TO his positive wishes, such an attempt was
really made. Moreover, an officer of Gen.
JoIdan's staff returned on the Upton, snd
knew the impracticability of landing on
that part of the island which the Havana
telegram reports.
Wedding in High Life.
A brilliant wedding took place here, the
parties being Mrs Gen Griffin and Count
Asterhazy, the Secretary of the Prussian
Legation. The President, members of the
Cabinet, and nearly all the foreign minis
tiers were present.
The Indians at the White House.
Red Chief, Red Cloud and Spotted Tail,
with their warriors, head men, and hench-
men, squaws, retainers, etc, were sumptu-
ously fed on the delicacies of the season at
one of the state dining tables at the Execu-
tive Mansion last evening. Secretary Fish
and the President were the principal par
ties who did the honors of the occasion,
though there were present several men,
bers of the Cabinet, with their wives the
Russian and English Ministers, with their
families, all in full evening dress; Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs Parker; Vincent
Collier, the Indian philanthropist; the
military secretaries of the White House,
Gems Porter Ond Babcock; Gen Dent and
others of celebrity and distinction, inclu-
ding goodly number of ladies, all of
whom were in full dress to receive the
Indians.
This entertainment had been under con
sideratiOn for some time, and despite the
practical complaint of Gen. Red Cloud, at
the conference held at the Indian Depart
meut Friday, that the prophecies of eti-
quette had been abused by the President
in not calling upon SO distinguished a WISH
tor to the capital as himself, he neverthe-
less consented, TO please the squaws TO re-
apond to the invitation for this evening,
and not to act ugly about it. They had
been feasted with strawberries and cream
at Sherman's few days previous, and the
recollections of that luscious feast had by
no means been forgotten. The big Indians
made as elaborate toilets as their limited
wardrobe allowed, and took carriages for
she White House about G o'clock. They
must have been surprised at the array of
beauty and talent awaiting their arrival,
but gave vent to no exclamation acknow-
leging it. When they were introduced
they said How" in the peculiar emphatic
style of Indians, and everybody res ponded
'How!' with excellent good fervor.
1t was a happy time for the Indians
when the hand-shaking was over, for then
they were escorted into the State dining
rooms, where so many former faasts had
been labored through during the past win
ter, aud were invited to satisfy the craving
of their appetites upon viands perfectly
new to their respective pliatts. Frults,
creams, and wines weIy served to all
