Sioux Indians at the Interior De-
partlnent.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Sioux In.
dian delegation held a council today with
Secretary Delatio. Red Cloud, Red Dog,
and other chiefs made speeches. The
speeches OF the different chiefs lasted al.
together fully an hour, but the principal
points were desire to remain at peace
and o request for presents OF guns and
ammunition, horses, &C., and for better
facilities for receiving their supplies when
sent to the agency. When the Indians
had concluded, Secretary Delano briefly
spoke 10 them, saying he was glad to
welcome the chiefs and braves, and to
hear they were friendly. They were in
formed that the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs will provide for them some horses,
which they will receive when they go
back, and will let them have more am.
munition as their agents shall advise.
Tho chiefs will also have some guns given
them, and will be provided with some
money for expenses while here. The In.
dians were much gratified with the re-
marks Of Mr.. Delano. They will call on
the President tomorrow.

departments will be closed on the 30th

Secretary Delano returned to Washing.
ton yesterday morning from his western
tour.
In addition to closing the public de-
partments here on Thursday next, Deco
ration Day, orders have been issued for

The President has signed the following
acts: In relation to the Dakota Southern

titled spirits in bond, destroyed by casual.
ity; to authorize the Secretary OF War to

site the harbor of Erie, Pa. !tt 1-u
Supervisor Dwyer, Of Ohio, has tender.
ed his resignation, for the purpose oil
engaging in the construction ofthe South
ern Pacific railroad.
It has been reliably ascertained that
the vote OF the Senate advising and con-
senting to the additional treaty OF Wash
ington was 43 against 2. Although the
President and Secretary Fish were or
Saturday night made acquainted with the
action Of the Senate it was not until TO-
day that they were advised Of the fact
Communications were, however, previous
ly sent to England. No official reply hal
yet been received but private advices from
distinguished parties says there is NJ
reason to doubt that the British Govern
ment will assent to the modified article

that oil honorably discharged soldiers ant
sailors Of the United States, who may dit
In 0 destitute condition, shall be en-
titled 10 burial In the national cemeteries
Several private bills were passed, anC
consideration Of the tariff bill was re.
sumed. A bill was reported by the Fl
nance Committee to place among the arti
cles on which the ten per cent reduction
ol duties, iE provided, all earthern ware
glass and glassware, unWrought pipe
clay, fire clay, kaolin9and fnllerS earth
which was agreed to, with the exception
Of earthern ware, on which the present
duty Is retained,
Mr.. CoKLINNG moved 10 exclude from
the ten per cent reduction leather gloves
and mittenS, which was agreed to.
The Committee recommended the
amendment renewing the provisions ol
the old tariff laws, levying an additional
duty Of ten per cent upon tho products
Of countries east Of the Cape Of Good
Hope, when imported from countries
west OF the Cape Of Good Hope, except
as to raw cotton and silks.
Mr.. SHERMAN stated that these different
duties had been levied for the purpose Of
increasing American trade west, and 1t
was proposed to revise them now in or.
der TO remedy the imperfection Of the
tea and coffee law. AS the law now
stood tea and coffee carried fromthe cast
to Europe, and then sent here, would be
admitted free of duty. The amendment
was agreed to.
The Finance Committee recommended
an amendment placing the duty on sui.
phate quinine at rs per cent ad valorem,
which was opposed by Messu: SAWYER
and KELLOGG. IL - LIN
After q long discussion onthe motion OF
Mr.. CAssERLY, the duty was placed at 10
per cent ad valorem. '--2s1S
The paragraph in reference to books
and printed paper being reached, Mr..
MORRILL,, Of Vermont, moved q substitute
providing that books full bound In calf
morocco or ivory, with velvet cases and
metal clasps, shall be liable to duty Of
90 cents per pound. All other books 10
cents per pound, and newspapers, maga-
zines and pamphlets, II cents per pound.
Mr. SHERMAN opposed the amendment
OF Mr.. MORRILL, and also the House pro.
vision, which he urged should be struck
out and the present duties retained with
the benefit Of ten per cent reduction. He
said that to levy aspecifc duty on books
was manlfestly unjust to every interest
concerned. he then exhibited q statement
Of the weight and value OF an invoice of
books received per steamer Russia at
New York on April 1st, 1872, from which
It appeared that o package Of valuable
and rare books at 12ic a pound duty
amounted to about 1870 per pound advalo-
rum, while . package OF books of inferior
value, but which entered into the general
list at the same rate Of duty amounted to
79i per cent advalorem. 10.
Mr.. ScoTT said the book men have a
faculty Of making this thing appear one
way or the other as 1t suited their par
ticular interests.
The amendment Of Mr.. MORRILL, was
rejected. -t. r.
Pending further discussion the Senate
at II P. N. adjourned.

LONDON, May 27.-Dispatches announ.

American securities to open firmer with
an advance.
The Tines says: "The action of tho
United States Senate Is important as iusti.
lying England in her position on the indi.
rect CLAIMS America will find It Hard to
uphold demands which she herself CON.
fesses are doubtful. President Grant, In
consulting with the Senate before acting
upon the proposition Of Earl Granville,
has greatly strengthened his own posi-.
tion."
The Telegraph says America has
proved that she prefers justice 10 national
fancy. The love Of honest dealing, and mu.
tual consideration exhibited by both Eng
land and America promises well for the
future world"
The Standard thinks It had better mod.
crate its congratulations and suspend Its
opinion until It knows more OF what the
article to be negotiated will commit Eng.
land to do or pay.
