BREAKING CAMP.

a
of breaking camp was comm enced and
all the lodges near the agency buildings
were moved to one general camp near
the mouth Of the Little White Clay,
from which point the grand move was
made to day There does not appear
the least dissatisfaction among any of
the numerous bands which have been
stationed here, and all are apparently
happy at
THE IDEA OF A CHANGE.
! All day to-day Red Cloud agency has
been hustle and excitement. Every
available wagon has been loaded with
goods either by the tenders or the mill
tarv. Two companies of the Sd caval-
ry, under command of Capt. Lawson
and Lieut.. Cummings. started on their
long journey at noon, intending to 90
only a few miles, when they will camp
and await the movement of the wagon
trains, which will probably be under full
Roadway tomorrow. There is
NO ANTICIPATION OF TROUBLE
with the Indians on the road, and, al
though it is getting late in the fall, a
good journey is. expected. Nothing of
an unusual nature has occurred since
the return of the delegation from
Washington, and had transportation
been available, the move would likely
have been well under Roadway ere this.
TWO THOUSAND HEAD OF CATTLE
were delivered here to-day by Messrs.
J. W. Foster & Go. for issue to Indians
on the road. The same number will be
delivered at Spotted Tail tomorrow.
The Indians of Spotted Tail agency will
not move for several days yet; and al
though some of the northern bands
made objections to the move at first,
they appear to have reconciled them
selves to it as inevitable. The officials
do not fear any trouble from them, nor
that they may
START FOR THE NORTH,
as some say they are apt to do. A. D.
Yates and j. w. Dear, the two traders
at this agency, are moving their entire
stocks of goods along with the Indians,
and expect to put up temporary stores
wherever the winter camp may be.
The exact locality of this camp will not
be determined until the Indians get up
on the ground, their present intention
being to go near the Missouri river and
camp wherever good place offers. 1t
will probably take until the 1st of De
cember to reach
THE NEW AGENCY.
Spotted Tail and Red Cloud move in
dependenty of each other. It is ru-
mored however, that some Indians will
make application for q transfer from
the Spotted Tail to the Red Cloud
agency
TOUGH ON SITTING BULL.
A dispatch from Washington Of the
oath states that Secretary Schurz
says that it is q mistake to con-
slider that the Sitting Bull commission
was not successful. Hesavs that it has,
on the contrary, been enlinently sue
cessful, and that the result is what the
administration wanted. 1t was never
desired that Sitting Bull should return
to the United States, but twas courteous
to the dominion government that steps
should be taken to secure his return as
a fugitive. From a later report from
Gen. Terry it appears that subsequent
to his interview with Sitting Bull the
British officers present consulted with
him; that the latter told Sitting Bull
that, if he considered himself subject
of Queen Victoria, the white mother, he
was very much mistaken; that he was
a fugitive flying from the United States;
that if he wanted to remain in Canada
be must behave himself; that he would
not be permitted to send expeditions of
young men to trouble United States
settlers; that if be did he would have
to fight the soldiers Of the white mother
as we'll as those Of the Great Father,
and that he could only remain upon
the condition that he behaved himself.
TEXAS PACIFIC JOE.
A Washington dispatch of October
24th, says prominent northwestern
democrat, who is earnestly opposed to
the Texas Pacific scheme, gives the fol
lowing opinion on the subject: He says
that the Texas Pacific people in the
house assert that Randall has promised
to make up the railroad commission in
favor of the bill; that Atkins, Of Tennes
see, has said so publicly. This repre-
sentative, however, thinks the Texas
Pacific bill has no chance of passing. 1t
is not considered by southern men as a
distinctive southern measure, or one
from which their section is likely to. de-
rive great benefit.
BEATING THE MINERS.
A Wilkesbarre telegram of October
oath, in speaking of the late strike
there, says the strike was broken by q
compromise of James Parrish & Co.,
whose men resumed work on an adj
vance of 10 per cent, and were imme-
diately followed by the men Of other
companies, who surrendered uncondi-
tionally, seeing that it was useless to
continue the strike further with broken
ranks Parrish q Co. now notify their
men that, in view of the decline in
coal, reduction Of 10 per cent. will
take place in November, thus plating
their men on the same footing with the
strikers who resumed without any ad
vance.
Lost His Grip.
