HELENA, MosT., January 29.-The
Independent publishes the following: Maj.
Walsh, Of the Northwests Mounted Po-
lice, Commandaut of Fort Walsh, Cana
da, near which Sitting Bull and other
hostile Indians are now located, arrived
in Helena to-day, eight days out from
Fort Walsha When Major Walsh left,
Sitting Bull, Little Knife aud 55 lodges
were at East End Police Post, Cypress
where they intended 10 re.
main during the winter. The night be.
fore leaving, Major Walsh received a mes.
sage from Sitting Bull saying that he had
heard that the Americans were com.
ing TO fight him and his people;
that they were tired Of blood, and
would move nearer the police post.
BE desired Major Walsh to speak TO the
white mother for him. Spotted Eagle
sent him q message, at the same time
saying that he was awaiting the arrival
Of 100 lodges Of bis people, who were
coming from Spotted Tail agency; that

Major Walsh they could remain with
him, and il not they must 60 by, and he
too would move 10 the Cypress Noun.
tains. II is not improbable that these
latter are the Indians who were reported
10 Gen. Miles. Major Walsh says that
at no time since his arrival has Sitting
Bull's camp crossed the line to American
soil. He has received daily messages
from him him since the Terry Commits
sion returned; their movement across the
line without hfs knowledge would be
and he would promptly ad-
wise General Gillian in that event. The
Sioux camp is now scattered. Spotted
Eagle, with one hundred lodges, Is at
Pilte Buttes, and others are scattered
along White Mud river and in Wood
where buffalo are plenty.
His condition Is irreconcilable with war
like intentions. Colonel Mcleod, COM
mander Of mounted police, is here and
the above. No credence has
been attached here TO rumors OF Sitting
Bull having crossed the line, and Major
Walsh's statements are deemed in the
highest degree Trustworthy.

tions adverse TO the free pipe bill now

olutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we are opposed 10 all
monopolies in any branch Of business,
manufacturing, mining, producing, or Of
railroads, and are opposed TO all class or
special legislation that will benefit few
TO the detriment Of the many.
Resoircd, That we are in favor Of a
general free pipe line that will grant
privileges alike TO all our citizens, so
that no individual or corporation can
have any special privilege or advantage.
ReOired, That what we demand for
ourselves we cbeeriully concede to all,
and we hereby extend our sympathy TO
the people Of the oil region in their
struggle with the monopoly that has been
and Is still depressing their prosperity,
and that we will use onr influence for
the enactment OF general free pipe line
law.
Resotred, That we are always in favor
Of free, open, fair and equal competition;
with these rights and advantages, city
or community that cannot retain its trade
and commerce deserves 10 fall.
A call ia published this evening signed
by over two hundred Of the best firms in
