OMAHA, Neb., Feb. Sth.-Major
J. M. Walsh, superintendent and
Inspector of the Northwestern Ca
madam Mounted Police, passed
through Omaha this afternoon, en-
route to Canada to attend the
opening of the Dominion Parlia-
ment. He has come as direct as
possible from Fort Walsh, his
headquarters, on Milk river, in the
British possessions, where he has
three hundred mounted police un-
der him. He says that Sitting
Bull is corraIled in camp and has
not been on American soil. United
States troops have been mislsd by
trappers who did not know what
they were talking about. Sitting
Bull is lame and is not in fighting
condition. His fighting chiefs are
Long Knife and Little Mountain,
while he is simply counsellor. He
would not have been permitted to
cross into this country. If he had
done 80 he would have been
brought back, so Major Walsh
states. Major Walsh was met at
the depot by General Williams,
General OF the Depart
ment of the Platte, and had q long
concerning Sitting Bull
and the coming Spring campaign.

1t also asays, by way of editorial
comment: "Of course everybody
knows that the discussion was
a matter of form, and all
the wind from the bellows of
statesmen was intended alone for
The fevered brows of their far-away
1t was, in truth, an
other case of eight to seven. There
was a doubt, and the party in
power resolved that doubt in its
own favor, as all parties have done
from the beginning of the world
and will continue to do until the
end of time.
