Another Council with the Sioux
Delegations.

All the delegations OF ndlan metln
the rooms of the Secretary of the In
terror this morning to have another
council, All the agents and interpre-
ters were present, and the Indians
were gaudily attired and painted.
Commissioner Smith told the Indians,
when here last, that the Secretary made
a proposition to them to go to the Indi-
al Territory, and asked them to con
slider the offer of the Government of
$4,000 to re%linquish a part of their
hunting grounds, and, also, OF the de-
sire of the white people to go to the
Black Hills and the difficulty of pre-
venting them. In regard to going to
the Indian Territory, they expressed
themselves opposed to it, and, unless
they had changed their minds, there
was no use talking about that. The
Secretary told them that if they did not
accept the offer of So, 900 in thirty
days they might not get it all. In re-
gard to the Black Hills, they had now
had plenty of time to think and it was
hoped they could give such answers
to-day as to make it unnecessary to
have any further talk on the subject.
Red Cloud said: "Great Spirit, hear
me! Have mercy on me; pity mel' He
called on Heaven and Earth to witness
before he spoke that the President
must have made a mistake i'll telling
him when he came here that these ar
rangements were for thirty five years.
The President told him at that time to
select a country for his huuting
grounds, and he had done so. The
two men al his side came to him last
Summer and told him for the first
time about the $50, 900, and he said
"Wait till | 60 and see the President
and see if he has got money-if it Is
really there. / have children and am
not willing to doanythiny to make them
poor. This So, 900 will only pay for
land to Pawnee Creek. we wish to re-
tain the rest" When he was here
four years ago he was shown a large
building where all the money is kept,
| and he knows he had a large mount
of money there. He would take this
80, 900, but when the Winter comes
he wanted them to try and get more.
| When he came here before nothing
was said about the Indian Territory.
Since he has been here this time he
had seen but little of the President.
and thought it hard he should be asked
to go there and live, and he now told
them twice he would not go there. His
country was a good n and he wished
to keep it. He did not like the run
ming of the Nebraska line through his
country, and considered it a robbery.
| Last Winter, when the annuities We're
issued, many OF his people were alb
sent and did not get their goods. He
wanted more goods for them, and was
not satisfied with the food sent him;
did not like salt pork, and thought his
| ohiIlran had IioH from eating II Ha
wanted bacon. rice and hominy, and
tea, sent to him. He was looking to
the future for his children, and tried TO
do the best for them.o
After further talk the Indians agreed
to accept the S25, 900 in consideration of
relinquishing a large portion Of their
hunting grounds in Nebraska. The
Secretary is willing to concede them
considera BILE territory ten or fifteen
miles south of the Nebraska river.
The treaty was drawn up but Spotted
Tail refused to accede to it until lie re-
ceived the S25, 900 appropriated for the
purpose. 1t was explained that the
money could not be obtained till the
treaty was signed, and the Indians
were given a copy of the treaty to take
to their rooms TO consider.
