At 1890 this morning the Indians sent
word TO the commissioners that they were
ready for another council and the com.
missioners at once proceeded for talk.
The first speaker was Little Wound, who
said yesterday he heard some
thing that made him almos:
cry. He always considerd when the
Great Father made arrangements for
railroad through the Indian country,
he would pay for it for fifty years. lie
considered this his own country, and
when he was told yesterday that he was
to be made like man without country
IL made Him Cry.
The different kinds of animals ne wanted
was not for one band, but for all the bands
for all time He wanted the President to
givethem each year three kinds Of wagons.
He wished that all white men were
married into the tribe to live with them
and that it was not possible to send them
away We wish you 10 give S25 each
year TO each of our women and children.
He wished the white men living among
the Brules
Married TO Oganala WOaen,
who come here to live with them. He
was willing to sign the papers the Com
missioners had brought here, on condi.
tion that while the young men were gone
in the Indian country those who staid
here should be ted. We have been for
bidden to hunt the buffalo. He under
stood there were S25 each to be gwen
them yet in addition to the $4,000 that
they had already received for hunting
privileges in Nebraska.
Bishop whippIe Replied,
that with reference TO the things asked for
they are all more provided for in the
paper, they are asked 10 sign the COM
mission, and will use all their power to
secure raLionS for them through the WIN

the commission could not say when they
would get here, they might now be on
their way, and the commission would
write letter to-day about the matter.
As for the white men married into the
tribe they would
Not be Intcrfcrcd with,
but that white men who came here to
stay few days and do the Indians in
Jury would not be allowed to stay. Little

sired to 90 TO Washington and see the
Great Father, and also wished copy of
everything said here given TO them, so
that there would be no mistake.
Col. Boone then said full copy Of all
said should be given them TO sign as soon
rs the secretary could make it out.
Bishop Whipplc said for them to
select the Indians they wished to sign the
treaty, and it would be presented to them
in a body, and in the meantime provi-
sions for the feast would be given them.
Little Wound said he had said nothing
about the $4,000 promised them for
hunting rights.
Judge Gaylo. said that the President
tried TO get it for them last winter, but
couldn't. The Commissioner would do
the best he could to get it for them this
winter. The Indians then said they
wanted the chief and two head men of
each tribe to get ready to sign the treaty
