released from Texas prison, arrived
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
Santanta and Big Tree was one of the
most affecting scenes in Indian history.
Ihelr ordinary stoicism gave way entire.
~, and they hugged and kissed each
other, and cried like children. Santanta
made speech, in which he said that he
feit like one risen from the dead. He
then referred to talk he had had with
Coy. Davis, Of Texas. who told him he
must work hard for peace, and influence
has people. If he did this, he should be
released. He wanted his people, and all
other Indians, to be at peace with the
whites; to let Texas alone, aud not 90
on the war-path. It is not intended to
take Santanta and Big Tree to Washing
ton. but they will probably be placed into
the custody of United States Marshal

that If he is pnrdoned almost any de.

imposing special taxes on dealers in malt
liquors, and in view Of the supposed in
tention Of Congress, has decided that
wholesale and retail liquor dealers may
continue to sell malt liqu under their
special tax receipts, as such, without
being assessed as malt liquor dealers;
and that the collection of taxes assessed
contrary to that construction, shall be
suspended until the question can be
brought before Congress. Persons who

the special taxes of $40 or $50, as they
are Wholesale or retail dealers in malt
