THE SITTING BULL INDIANS.

Helena, Montana, Jan 29.--The Indepen.
dent publishes the following:
Major Walsh, Of the northwest mounted
police, commandment of Fort Walsh, near
which Sitting Bull and other hostile In
dams are located, arrived to-day, eight days
out from Fort Walsh. When Major Walsh
left, Sitting Bull. Little Knife and ffty-fve
lodges were at Cypress mountain, where
they intended TO remain during the winter.
The night before leaving Major Walsh re-
ccived a message from Sitting Bull saying
he had heard the Americans were coming
to fight him and his PEOPLE; that they were
tired of blood, and would move near the
post. He desired Major Walsh to speak to
the white mother for him. Spotted Eagle
sent him a message the same time, saving
he was awaiting the arrival Of 100 lodges
of his people, who were coming from Spot
ted Tail agency, and that if they would
obey the requirement of Major Walsh they
could remain with him, and If not, they
must go BY, and he too would move to Cy.
press mountain.
1t is not improbable these latter are the
Indians reported to Gen. Miles.
Major Walsh says that at no time since
his arrival has Sitting Bulls camp crossed
the line to American soil.

The Dardnnclles.

Tho treaties or compacts regulating
the entrance Of foreign men-of war
through the straits of the Dardanelles
are numerNls.
In 1883 Russia entered upon a com
mercial treaty with the Porte, granting
to all Russian merchantmen the privi-
lege Of passing through the straits.
During the few years preceding the war
of 1923, Russia had complained often Of
the violation Of the articles OF this treaty
by Turkey.
Black Sea, under the Russian flag, had
been seized, their cargoes sold, andethe
owners were refused naturalization
Gom the Turkish government for the
loss they had sustained.
Article VII Of the treaty Of Adrian
ople, September IA, 1929, declares the
entrance OF the straits free to all Rus
sian merchantmen, as well as to all
those Of other nations which were at
peace With the Porte.
A separate article Of the Treaty Of
Unkiar- Skelessi, July 8. 1888, ratifying a
defensive alliance between Russia and
the Porte. rloses the entrance Of the
straits to all foreign men-ofwar. To
this England protested through her am

The juggler then asked for a sig-
net ring. Several were offered him,
and he chose out one which had a very
large oval seal, projecting well beyond
the gold hoop on both sides. This
r1pg he tossed and tumbled several
times in his hands, now throwing it
into the air and catching it, then shsk.
ing it between his clasped hands, all the
tine mumbling half-articulate words
in some Hindostanee patois. Then
setting the ring down on the cloth al
about half AIMS legth in front of him,
he said, slowly and distinctly in good
Hindostanee, 'tPing, rise up aBd got
to the rupee" The ring rose, with
the seal upPermost, and resting on the
hoop, slowly, with kind of dancing
or jerking motion, il passed over the
cloth until it came to where the rupee
lay on the remote edge; then it LAY
down on the coin. The conjurer then
said, 'sRing, lay hold Of the rupee, and
bring 1t to me-" The projecting edge
Of the seal seemed TO grapple the edge
OF the coin; the ring and the rupee
rose into q kind of wrestling attitude,
and, with the same dancing and jerk
ing notion, the two returned to within
reach Of the joggler's hand.-The Una

Rad zeal Constitutional Convention of
1865, and won fame by his efforts to
make up negro district Of Mon gom :

counties that he might have life es-
tate in seat in the State Senate. But
poor Renfro was too greedy, and John
Henry Crown smashed Renfro's plans.
He wanted to appropriate too much of
Africa to his own use. His district
would have been $50 miles long and
blacker than the butt end of midnight.
His scheme thwarted, poor Renfro
went home, aud has been brooding

would not be responsible for the women

WHAT DOES THE GOVERNOR
MEAN!

Which day does Governor Hubbard
propose to observe as the day of fast
ing, humiliation and prayerg When
he deslgnates "the Sabbath day."
does he mean Sunday-the Lords day
the day of the resurrection? And
since the Roman Catholic and Episco-
pal churches order every Sunday in the
year to be observed as a festival in
commemoratlon of the Lords joyous
resurrection, which occurred on that
day, it is to be hoped that when his
Excellency says sabbath, he means
Saturday. But very many good people
will suppose he has reference to Sun
day, and it is evident that when he
speaks of the Sabbath" day he does
mean Sunday, and not Saturday,
The Governor was educated at theo-
logical, school and is no doubt imbued
with the idea that the Catholic and
Greek and Episcopal churches are at
fault in this matter and that the names
of the days of the week as used by us
came from the Goths and Vandals VINO
gave US MONDAY, Sunday, Woden's-
day, Freia's day and Thor's.day, but
it is still maintained by two potent
and learned denominations that Sun
day, the first day of week, cannot be
devoted to purposes of fasting and
prayer. They cannot devote the
blessed Sunday, recognized by them as
the day of Christ's victory over death,
hell and the grave, to grief, humilia-
ton, ssckcloth and ashes. Perhaps
his Excellency will reconsider his ac-
ton or give US an amended proclama-
ton copied from Wouter Van Twiller,
by whom, when Dutch Governor of
New York, as Washington Irving tells,
many similar fulmiuations were thun-
dered forth.
