Their Majesties, after short stay at the hotel
drove out to visit important points Of interest In

magnificent new Exchange, where his arrival Gre
ated considerable excitement among the merchants
The vast proportions OF the building rather surprised
His Majesty and he displayed considerable interest
in its system and working

erecting massive and costly structure on q mud
foundation. He remarked in connection with this
subject that It would have been very much wiser to
put up an iron building for the purpose Of custom
house, which could be done at onc-fourth the cost.
When it was suggested to His Majesty that tho
American people built for remote posterity His
Majesty replied:-"But an iron building would last
for 400 years. and you do not mean to tell me that
there will be any custom houses in 400 years.

Terry, Cibbon and Crook.

FORT LINCOLN, Dakota May II, 1876
The expedition which has been organizing at this
point for several weeks and intended to operate
against the hostile Indians under Sitting Bull LEFT
this post daylight this morning. taking due west
eriy course.
THE TERRY EXPEDITION.
The expedition numbers somewhat over 1000 men,
and is probably the best equipped and most thor
oughy organized force that has been sent against
hostile Indians since the war. General Terry, the
accomplished commander OF the Department Of
Dakota, goes in command.
cUsrER's SHARE.
General Custer, to whom the command OF the ex.
petition was intended to be given by the military
commanders, but who was deprived Of his COM
mand by the Presidents thrice-repeated order goes
with the expedition second in command and In i'm
mediate command OF his regiment, which Is really
the lighting force Of the expedition.
STRONG FORCE.
In addition to Clusters regiment OF cavalry the ex-
petition is composed Of detachment OF Indian
scouts. also under Custcr's command, three compa-
MES OF infantry and battery OF Calling guns. A
train OF about $50 wagons and 200 pack mules
pany the troops loaded with thirty days. supplies Of
rations and forage.
SUPPLIES ny WATER.
In addition to these two. steamers, carrying sup
plies for two months will proceed from this point up
the Missouri River to the mouth of the Yellowstone
River and then up the latter river to the depot to
be established-probably near the mouth OF the Big
Horn River
GENERAL GIBBONS COLUMN.
General Gibbon, with six companies Of infantry
and four Of cavalry has moved from Fort Ellis Mon
tana, and is now making his way down the LEFT bank
OF the Yellowstone toward the proposed depot.
WHERE SITTING BULLS FORCES ARE
The latest information brought IN by scouts
from the hostile camps report Sitting Bull having
concentrated his entire camp near the Little Mis-
souri, River, almost due west from this point
THREE THOUSAND WARRIORS.
His force is given ut 1900 lodges. This estimate
would enable him to put a. least 5000 warriors into
the field. BY some this estimate Is considered
large, but there is no doubt that more hostile In.
dams can be concentrated between the Little Mis-
souri, and Yellowstone rivers than at any other point
In the country.
LIVELY CAMPAIGN.
II the above information Is true lively times and
heavy lighting may be looked for within the next
two weeks.
GENERAL CROOKS COLUMN.
General Crook is also about to lead column from
the direction Of Fort Laramie northward, to CO.
operate with the column from this point and the
under General Gibbon.
THE DISTRIBUTION OF COMMAND.
Each column Is acting independently OF the other
two General Crook commands only the one from
Fort Laramie. The movements OF the other TIVE
columns are under General Terry.
