Russians are about to make desperate effort
to capture Plevna and pulyerize Suleiman's
army and that if successful in these under

to understand from what you have said that

Sitting Bull, without rising from the
floor, said in reply: nv unq

to tell you. If we told you more you would
not pay any attention to it. That is all have
to say. This part of the country does not be-
long to your people. You belong on the other
side. This side belongs to us. .rt
Sitting Bull inquired whether the
commission had anything more to say,
and was told that they had not. The
Indians then fled slowly out of the
room.
During the evening which followed,
Col. Macleod and Maj. Walsh met the
Indians in their room and informed Sit
ting Bull what would be expected of him
if he stayed on this side of the line. He
was informed that if he went over on
Americana soil he would make an enemy
of the great mother, which is
supposed to mean Queen Victoria. Sit
ting Bull replied that he was done with
wars and intended to remain quietly
among his friends. He also said that he
intended to move his camp within few
miles of Fort Walsh to remain during
the winter. The conference is ended.
Whether the result is diplomatic tri-
umph for Mr.. Evarts in compelling Can
ada to be responsible for the acts of this
Sioux cut throat will probably be deter
mined in the future. Sitting Bull does
not desire peace. At present he is suf-
fering chagrin in being driven across the
line and in being compelled to stay there.
He was driven into Canada by Miles,
and he knows that Miles will whip the
daylights out of him if he comes across
the line. Sitting Bulls camp is filed
with restless spirits, and they will cause
plenty of trouble for either Canada or
the United States yet. The disposition
which the Canadian authorities will
make with Sitting Bull is not yet known.
The matter will necessarily have to be
decided by the Secretary of State of the
Dominion. The Canadian officers have
an abiding faith that he will remain
quiet, as also all the other Indians within
| their territory.

GENTLEMEN: In answer to your note beg leave
to inform you that, after the interview of the Com
missioners with the Indians had talk with the
latter. endeavored to impress upon them the i'm
portance of the answer they had just made; that,
although some of the speakers to the Commissioners
had claimed to be British Indians, we denied the
claim, and that the Queens Government looked
upon them American Indians who had taken
refuge in our country from their enemies. point
ed out to them that their only hope the buffalo;
that it would not be many years before that
Of supply would cease, and that they could expect
nothing whatever from the Queens Government ex-
cept protection long they behaved themselves.
warned them that their decision not only affected
themselves but their children, and that they
should think well over it before it was
too late. told them they must not
cross the line with a hostile intent; that
if they did they would not only have the Americans
for their enemies but also the police and the British
Government, and urged upon them to carry my
words to their camps, to tell all their young men
what had said and warn them of the consequences
OF disobedience, pointing out to them that few in
discreet young warriors might involve them all in
most serious trouble.
They unanimously adhered to the answer they had
given the Commissioners, and promised to observe
all that had told them. do not think there need
be the least anxiety about any of these Indians
crossing the line; at any rate, not for some time to
come. In haste, most respectfully yours,

President Hayes has issued proclamation,
printed below, setting apart Thursday, the 29th
day of November, as day of national thanks
giving and prayer:
The completed circle of summer and winter,
seed-time and harvest, has brought us to the &C
customed at which religious people celebrate
with praise and Thanksgiving the enduring mercy
of Almighty God This devout and public confess
sion of the constant dependence of upon the
Divine Father for all the good gifts of life, and
health, and peace, and happiness, so early in our
history made the habit of our people, finds in sur
vey of the past year new grounds for it's joy
full and grateful manifestation. In all
blessings which depend upon benignant
seasons, this has indeed been remarkable year.
Over the wide territory Of our country, with all its
diversity of soil and climate and products, the
earth has yielded bountiful return to the labor
of the husbandman. The health of the people has
been blighted by no prevalent or widespread dis
eases; no great disasters of shipwreck upon our
coasts or to our commerce the seas have brought
loss and hardship to merchants mariners and
clouded the happiness of the community with
sympathetic sorrow. In all that concerns our
strength, and peace, aid greatness as nation; IN
all that touches the perman and security OF our
| Government and the benefcent institutions on
which it rests in all that affects the character and
+ disposition of people, and tests our capacity
to enjoy and uphold the equal and free condition of
| society now permanent and universal throughout
the land the experience of the last year is conspcu
ously marked by the protecting providence of God,
and is full of promise and hope for the coming gen.
eratons.
| Under sense of these infinite obligations to the
Great Ruler of times, and seasons and events, let
us humbly ascribe it to our faults and frailtes
if, in any degree that perfect concord and happi-
ness, peace and justice, which such great mercef
should diffuse through the hearts and lives OF our
people, do not altogether and always and everywhere
prevail Let with spirit and with voice lift
up praise and thanksgiving to God for His manifold
goodness to our land, and His manifest care for
our nation.
Now therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes, Presi-
dent of the United States do appoint Thursday the
29th day of November next, as day of national
| thanksgiving and prayer, and earnestly recon-
| mend that, Withdrawing themselves from secular
cares and abors the people of the United States dc
meet together on that day in their respective places
of worship, there to give thanks and praise to AL
mighty God for his mercies, and to devoutly be-
| seech their continuance.
