ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-Satanta, chief of
the Kiowa Indians and Big Tree, another
notable chief of some tribe who have been
temporarily released from Texas prison ar
rived here to-day in custody and were
taken to the Everett House, where the
other Indians were stopping. During the
day q council was held. The meeting of
Satanta and Big tree was one of the most
affecting scenes in the Indian history. The
ordinary stoicism gave entirely away and
they Rugged and kissed each other and
cried like children. Satanta made speech,
in which he said that he felt like one risen
from the dead. He referred to the talk he
had had with Gov. Davis, of Texas, who
told him he must work hard for peace and
influence his people, and if he did this he
should be released. He wanted his peo-
pie and all other Indians to be at peace with
the whites, to let Texas alone and not go
on the war path. 1t is not Intended to take
Satanta and Big Tree to Washington, but
they.will probably be placed in custody
10y the United States Marshal tomorrow
and held subject to orders from Washing
ton. There is a strong desire on the part
of the Indians that Satanta be pardoned
and it is probable that if he is almost any
desired terms can be made with them.
