of Nez Perces under Joseph occurred
At 2 o'clock on the afternoon OF oc'

eepting an unconditional surrender.
The troops at once occupied the In
dian, intrenchments, ,and the first
victory over the red skins during the
mast two years was signalized. A.
Ter the Indian camp had been sur.
rounded and the soldiers had secured
defensive positions, no casualties
occurred. The soldiers closed in
upon the savages slowly hut surely,
Alter the first day, all the time eI-
tending their line of rifle pits. 1t
wa. the purpose of Gen. Miles to
lose no more men by attack. On the
fourth day after the fight, Joseph
raised a white flag for the third time
and through an interpreter offered to
surrender provided they were al
lowed to keep their guns. Miles
sent word he must surrender with.
out reserve, and the battle was again
renewed. The white flag was dis
played sgain on the fifth and last

of bis lines and advanced to meet
Miles to whom he rendered his gun.
He was followed by so warriors, who
also turned over their arms and
shook hands with Miles. When the
troops entered the rifle pits 40 war
riors were discovered disabled by
wounds. They were removed to the
camp hospital. The number of In
dams killed is not known, as they
had already buried their dead, Miles
left at noon Sunday for Tongue

wounded and the surrendered band.

to take hand in the light, and the
glory Of the victory rests with Miles

not understood and he made no at
tempt to assume command. He left
his infantry at the Missouri river and
with his cavalry proceeded to the

The Portland " Standard" in last
Fridays issue, says: ave have
carefully read Governor Ferry's mes,
sage to the Washington Territory
Legislature. It is good document
and full of interest to the people OF
that great Northwest. On the fish
ing question the Governor is in full
harmony with the people Of Oregon,
and we trust that some Legislative
action will be inauguratsd by ths,
Territory and adopted by Oregon
which will perpetuate this great com
mercial interest to the people Of both
Oregon and Washington Territory
He truthfully touches upon the great
richness of that Territory and its
bright future.
