WHAT THE INDIANS SAY.
A newspaper reporter interviewed the
Ei0ux Indian Chiefs, now Quartered al
the Grand Central Hotel to-day, ON the
tubject OF the Black Hills question. Red
Bhirt spoke first. He thought the Presi-
dent was willing to treat the Indians
lairly but seemed to lack power, because
Congress had tailed to make the proper
appropriation.
Rattllng Rib said 1t was hard to tell
who ts to blame for failure of the Gov
ernment to keep their promise; whether
10 was the officers or the people, He
hoped Congress and the Great Father
would settle all difficulties.
Tall Man Dan said when the Indiana
spoke to the heads Of departments they
were told Congress had not made sufi
eaent appropriations. It that was SO,
the law makers and not the people were
to blame. The Indians had selected on
their side Rev. Mr.. Herman and Mr.
Newman to act as Commissioners fol
the settlement Of the Black Hills treaty
and he hoped they would be appointed.
Bald Eagle said he knew more about
fighting than talking, but he warned all
whites that II the Black Hills treaty was
mot settled satisfactorily, and they came
out there to look for gold, to look out fol
him.
