A special from Fort Steele states that
the Utes who arrived there Saturday
night each brought an extra war-horse
and made quite an imposing appear
ance. They camped that night on the
north side of the Platte, where rations
and wood had been provided for them.
Seventy-tive carbines and abont twenty
thousand. pounds of ammunition have
been shipped from Omaha for their
equipment. They will start for Medi-
cine Bow as soon as they can be armed,
and from there go to Crook, via Fort
Fetterman. They feel very anxious
and very much in earnest, and Yampah
Jack is sanguine of victory. He was
on hand with a 'show, how for every
warrior. They had a great many furs
and skins with them for trade. Capt.
Nickerson has t~elegraphed the request
that the news of their coming be a
widely circulated along the road Al
possible, and that these Indians an
friendly allies, in order that no fear
may be entertained as to their intsn'
tions.

By the present route from Cheyenne
to Deadwood, the distance is not less
than 1926 miles. OF this distance, 20
miles is through q rough and mountain
GUS region, and the road is in bad con-
dition, although owned by a company
who charge toll. In the winter this
part of the road viii be impossible, or
nearly SO. Frank Whitney and other
reliable men who have travelled the
road considerable, state that it can be
shortened not less than So miles at
small expense. This would give us a
route which can be travelled the year
round, and the shortening of distance
would also add to the advantage Of the
route, making it pass through a region
better supplied with water and wood
than the present one.
Mr.. Whitney, when at Fort Laramie,
explained the matter to Mr.. ]. S. Col
Inns, who at once offered to give three
hundred dollars toward a fund for
building the new road. Since coming
here Mr.. Whitney has interviewed u
leading business men, and obtained
from them the assurance that the
money required for the work shall be
forthcoming on twenty-four hours no.
tice. We suggest that a meeting be
called and a committee appointed to
obtain subscriptions. We also suggest
that Jim Sanders be employed for the
work, as he is thoroughly acquainted
with every route leading into the Hills,
and knows how to build roads. Then
let the road be made a free one, and
with a route well supplied with wood,
water and grass, and only 240 miles
long, Cheyenne can defy any would-be
rivals who might strive to wrest from
her the trade of Deadwood and the
| Hills.

a PEACE PROPOSITION.
Under Which die cheyennes Cloak Their
Desire 70 Join Sitting Bull
nes Agents

The Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
Z. T. Smith, neceiyed q dispatch Sunday
evening from the Indian agent at the
Cheyenne agency, announcing that the
Indians at that place request the United
States government to suspend hostile
operations against Sitting Bull and the
Sioux with him for eight weeks in
order that they, the Cheyennes, may
visit the hostile Indians and arrange
for peace Gen. Sherman is not in
Washington and therefore has not seen
this dispatch, but it is not at all prob
able that the request will be granted.
The report published a week ago that
the Indians at Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail agencies had been turned over to
the military authorities for management
is literally true. The Commissioner of
Indian affairs found it desirable to re-
move the agents at these points on
account of their unfitness to perform
the duties devoiving upon them, and as
it "a thought wise not to delay these
removals until agents could be selected,
the War Department was requested to
detail a military officer at each to re-
ceive and take temporary charge of the
property Of the United States and per-
form the duties of Indian agents until
the vacancies can be filled.

Lates, from Gen. Terry.


Gen. Terry hopes to be able to begin
his march by the 10th instant. Under
date of July61st, a correspondent with
Terry says: We have just met the
steamer Far West, on her way down to
bring up. the supplies left at Powder
river, which we found in possession of
the Indians.
Capt. Thompson, Of the Second Cav
airy, committed suicide just before the
troops left the Big Horn river. He was
buried with military honors, such as
could be given under the circumstances
of a campaign movement, on the even
ing Of the 10th. The cause is supposed
to be PHYSICAL suffering, which he has
been mor or less affected with.
1t is believed the Sioux are encamped
on the headwaters of the Rotten Grass,
near the Big Horn mountains, about
100 miles from the command.
There are now rs Crow Indians with
the command and more talk of going.
They report Sioux scouts in the vicinity
of the command, and also report that
they killed one Sioux Indian while
scouting near the mouth of the Big
Horn.
