Ine PRESIDENT remarking that he was ready
to hear what flu cher his friends had to say,
Spotted Tail took a eat at his side and began
by stating where he had decided to have his
agency. which was on Wounded Knee Creek.
He wanted his Supplies sent there.
Red Cloud would like u have his agency at
White Clay Creek. His people could not move
tkis wint,r. They were too poor.
The President said: My friends, I am glad
to see you this morning, am glad to see you
dressed like the white people. You look well
in your clothes like the white people. 1t shows
that you wish to live like the white people. L
have not much to say about the business that
brought you here in addition to what said to
you last week. You have spoken about the
places where you wish to have your agencies.
L am glad that YOU would be satisfied to have
agencies op the reservations allotted to you, but
as told you it is too late in the season to
change your present agencies. 1t is too late to
remove the supplies to the places you have
named. The winter will soon come, the streams
will be frozen up and therefore no movement
of supplies can be made. We wish to help
your people to remove near the supplies and
Gen. Crook will assist you to do so. Next
spring places can be selected near White River
that will suit you. And now as to the things
you have asked for. You want trunks, over
coats and money. The great council VI my ma
tiou has put the money and property for you IN
charge of the Secretary of the Interior. he
can give you whatever the great council has au
tborized him to give. He will be glad to give
you what he can, and l think he can satisfy
you an this is the end of our grand council
am glad you came. Let me advise you to move
as near the supplies as you can and next spring
YOU can 60 to your reservations. l am glad
YOU are satisfied with White River. I hope
YOU will all reach your homes safely and in
good health. Before you go the Secretary will
give YOU as many of the things you have asked
for as he can, and now l will be glad to shake
hands with each QUE of you and wish you
WELL

remarks of the President and also with those
of the Secretary of the Interior, and departed
from the Executive Mansion with smiling coun

A new way of scaling down liabilities was
urged upon Mr.. Haines, of the exploded Fidel-
ity Savings Bank of Chicago. Depositors were
clamorous, the funds wouldn't hold out. A
proposition was madeIto him by man to quiet
ly take 100000 of the banks funds and use it
to the purchase of bank books for the benefit of
the institution. This would do good in two
ways The bank would be relieved to the ex-
tent of the discount on each book, and the value
of the books would be gradually appreciated,
so that perhaps the run might stop; that is,
they would start in by offering, say, sixty cents
on the dollar. Then there would be little
quiet competition, and the price would go up
to seventy, eighty, ninety, and so on until the
depositors would refuse to sell, thinking that
the institution was perfectly sound, and that
they were simply being shaved by spectators.

Fears of n Conn d,Efaf.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Parir correspondent Of
the Times telegraphs:
1T was rumored last night that Duke de
Broglie and M. Bethanl had resigned from the
French cabinet. The report for the present at
least is unfounded, but the alarm it created was
very remarkable. The apprehension of for
chile coup d'etat by the government is SO great
that the resignation of Broglie and certain of
his colleagues known to be opposed to such
measures would be considered preface to a
violation of the law, though it is hard to tell in
whose interest such a violation would be.
know from perfectly trustworthy source
that the Empress disapproves of the govern
menfs course since the 18th of May. The
Prince Imperial is also said to have lately ex-
pressed a similar disapproval to an interviewer.
BE declared he would not throw impediment in
the way of regular government. 1t is certain
that the opinion of the Cabinet itself is divided.
Some of its members think of coup de force in
case of defeat at the elections. Others and the
non-Bonapartists and Conservatives fcontem-
plate second dissolution, but repeat with
the certainty of truth that the Senate will not
support dissolution simply to help the gov

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The committee of fifty
appointed on Saturday at meeting of promi-

met tonight at the same place to call a meeting
to endorse President Hayes and his administra-

of the Republican State Convention at Roches-

Republicans and all others of the city of New
York who approve of the administration of
President Hayes in its effects to promote the
permanent union and harmony of the whole
country and restore every branch of the civil
service to its early efficiency and purity, and
who feel that the action of the late Republican
State Convention has placed the Republican
party and the people of the state in position
toward the President and his administration at
once false and injurious, are requested to meet
in Cooper Institute Oct 10, at p. M, for the
purpose of declaring their undated faith and
confidence in the integrity, ability and patriot
ism of President Hayes, their sense of wisdom
and justice of the aims and purposes of his adj
ministration, and their belisf and joy that the
country is beginning to realize and will soon
fully reap the blessings of domestic quiet and
happy concord in and between all states which
a universal love of Union and respect for the
Constitution as now established are sure to re-
produce; of restored confidence and abundant
labor in all departments of industry and COM
merce, and of a sound and permanent prosper
ity which shall bring plenty and happiness to
all the people.
