SPOTTED TAIL AT WHITE HOUSE.
The Spotted Tail delegation Of Indians
had an interview with the President this
afternoon at the Executive Mansion.
They were accompanied by three Indian
women and by Gen Walker, Commission
er OF Indian affairs, Mr. D. Risley, their
agent and others. After the usual hand
shaking Spotted Tail said he was little
tired now but would have something to
tell TO his great father tomorrow. The
President replied that they would not sec
him tomorrow as he was going away
but they could talk TO the Secretary Of
the Interior and the Commissioner OF In
dian affairs. He understood Spotted Tail
had something to say to him about the
location Of his agency and the President
then requested the interpreter 10
say Red cloud was permitted TO change
his agency location because at the for
mer place there was little or no waiter in
the summer season. He did not want 10
drive Spotted Tail away from the present
location OF his agency, but he thought II
would be better 10 remove, as a consider
able sum Of money $4,000 would be
saved in transportation, which would be
expended for the benefit of Spotted Tails
people. Spotted Tail said that all the
young Indians now present were good
men, and they intended to-day to have a
council among themselves as TO the
change of location. The President re.
piled: Let them all count the result.
Agent Risley said to the President that
when he went among those Indians he
found them all peaceably disposed and
desirous Of maintaing friendly relations.
Spotted Tail not only exerted his coun.
sells 10 this end but always tried TO i'm.
press his people with the importance OF
obeying the Presidents orders. The
President expressed his qualification with
this report, adding ave will do what we
can for their benefit" Spotted Tail said
he had something more to say 10 the
President "Ihear," he remarked, that
in a few months there will be an election
for new President, / hope you may be
successful. This would please me very
much, Tor you have been very kind 10
my people" The President replied
However the election may result l hope
there will be no change In the Indian
policy" The interview here ended.
