The message has been very favOrably re-
ceived by the press. with the exception of
those in favor OF soft money. The follow

expressed.
''On the subject of the finances. tie Presi-
dent speaks in clear and positive terms.
He stands manfully up to the doctrines of
his inaugural address. Nothing could be
more forcible. more reassuring. more dig
niticd. more satisfactory in every way than
his utterance. 1t will greatly strengthen
the party Of hard money and fair dealing"

THE only criticism which candid men
of either party can make upon that portion
of the Presidents message which touches
the most vital question Of the moment

there is not much to be said, save that it is

Joseph, when he was told that he must

Leavenworth destination last night, in his
teppe. and ut once the young warrior fell
into reverie, with the above suggestive
utterance TO the interpreter. He called Il
council Of his chiefs, and kept it up until
2o'clock this morning. Joseph was sad
and suspicious. The councils conclusion
was to submit; there was no other aitein:i-
tive. They had surrendered in good faith.
and Joseph, addressing the interpreter.
said: Il trust you will do as you say, and
we will follow you to the end of the world
If you lead"
Joseph told your correspondent, who
WAS present at the strange midnight con-
ference. that he gave up because Howard
promised he should go to Tongue river
and remain with Miles until spring, and
then return to his Walla-Walla valley. He
was promised the possession Of his horses
when he reached Tongue river. The
promise was doubly broken. He was told
he must come to Bismarck, because it was
n better country for him. lie nad hardly
arrived when he was told that he must go
further. because Leavenworth was warmer
and a better country. | asked him why
he went to war. He answered: Il love
my country as love my mother; never
signed the treaty Of 1863. and we did not
wish to leave Walla-Wala. 1t was our
country. The soldiers came and wanted
to drive us on tho reservation we had never
agreed to enter upon. You would have
done the same. I got beside myself, and
went to resisting the soldiers; and then
came the war. Howard. in our councils.

where he was going, when captured. lie
said to the Milk river country, where he
thought he could keer out Of the way Of
the soldiers and have p.eniy Of game. 1t
was unsettled when Miles struck him. |
Some of his braves were cut of. and they |
deserted him. II not for this desertion Of
sixty warriors he says he could have held
Miles back, let his women Off in the
night. and the warriors could have made
an easy retreat oyer the British line.
The band will hot get OF for Leaven-

CHICAGO, Dec. - The Inter- Oceans
Washington special says: The story that Il

camp has been supposed to be merely a
camp fire story. but General Terry, in a
letter to the War Department, gives it Off

visit to Fort Walsh, half-breed interpre-
ter assured him that he had seen the pale
face in Sitting Bulls camp. that his name
was Martin Ryan, that he was captured in
the action of June 25th, 1876, and that he
had made several Intellectual attempts to
escape. The interpreter had been detected
by Sitting Bull talking to Ryan and order
ed away. The Indians keep hins painted.
and have married him to squaw, the
daughter Of Spotted Eagle. His descrip-
ton OF Ryan corresponds exactly with
that of Corporal Ryan. Of Co. c, Seventh

10 have been killed in the action referred
to.

That the tax of one dollar per cord on

will cause immediate suffering.
That the orders to officials here is a total
