CHICAGO, June Q.
Under date of April 18th. Major
Guido Ilges, commanding the Seventh
Infantry at Fort Benton, informs the
Military Headquarters here that the
hostile Sioux, Arrapahoes, Cheyennes.
and other Indians assembled at the
eastern corner of Cypress Mountain.
and known as Sitting Bulls Camp.
contemplate an early invasion south of
the boundary line. Major Ilges con-
siders g the situation serious. The
Sioux, numbering 1900 warriors. are
trusted by nobody in that region.
They are fully armed and equipped
defiant, and ready for fight, and have
caused him to move hisfort to new
place, better suited for defence. Sit.
ting Bull recently made a rancorous
harangae. promising to return to the
United States when the grass grows,
and make the soldiers weep. A grand
war dance and mastering of the various
tribes followed this speech.

Messrs. Stanley Matthews, John Sherman,
Charles Foster, james A., Garfeld-all or
any of them-and other northern men,
present at a conference or conferences at

state the whole or any part ofany agreement,
understanding, or intention, resulting from
such conference or conferences concerning
Louisiana affairs, or concerning the Packard

AGENT HOOPER OF sIssE1on.
st Paul Dispatch.

Gabriel Renville, the we'll known mixed
blood chief of the Sioux Indians of Sisseton
agency, is in the city for the purpose of Sc
curing the assistance of Gen. Sibley and 9TH
ers ofhis personal friends for the removal OF
Agent Cooper, who was appointed last Au.
gust from Maine, to succeed Mr.. Hamilton
at that agency, and who took charge late in
November. Mr.. R.nville, in accordance
with the general wishes Of the Indians-who
recognize him not only as their head chief
but as especially deserving of consideration
from thegovernment-will petition the state
legislature AID congress for their Influence
to have Mr.. Hooper removed. The charges
against Mr.. Hooper are that he is inefficient
and incompetent, and the specifications are
numerous. From the knowledge we have
OF Mr.. Renville's character, gained from 10.
cal history and the recommendations of his
acquaintances, we have no doubt that the
charges are we'll founded. But we have
some doubt about Mr.. Hooper's being re-
moved. Mr. Renville knows more abou;
Indian matters and how they should be cor
Quoted than all the people of the eastern
states. He has done more for Indian civil:-
cation than all the east put together
He saved the lives of over two hundred
whites . few years ago and has always been
q friend of the whites. But he asks that a
western xaen who knows something about
Indians and Indian affairs and whose neigh
borhood associations give him = direct inter.
est in them shall be appointed to succeed
Mr.. Hooper. This is so directly contrary
to the interests Of the combination of mis-.
sionasy boards and dealers in Indians good.
who maintain what is facetiously called the
peace policy, that We fear Mr.. Renville will
not be granted bis altogether reasonable and
nrnctical reouest.

lady who was dancing in the same set. She
became very much incensed and fepor'ci
the occurrence to her friend, Mr.. Houston

pretty strong language. Mr.. Haskell offer

lady would accept 40 apology. Mr., Haskell
then made some sighting remarks concern

"Being advised by my friends that Haskell
was no gentleman. and that l would lower

walking up the street with a gentleman
when Mr., Force approached him and began
beating him severely over the head with a
cane. Nj. Haskell retreated into a ,jewelry
store, followed by Mr.. Force. They we're
parted Just about the time that Mr.. Haskell

The famous duels between the Messra.
Sonle. father and SOD, and Marquis Turgat
and Duke d'Alba were occasioned by a re-
wife of the elder Soule, then our minister to
Spain: At a ball in Madrid, given by Mar
quis Turgat, the French ambassador, Ms.
soule was a central figure. Her splendid
carriage, her superb beauty, her charming
wit, won for her great distinction During
the evening the Duke d'Alba likened this
lady. in her sons hearing, to two very diff.
ferent persons in history. 1t is held on the
one side that his grace said: Look at
Margaret Of Burgundy" and on the other
that he said: "Look at Mary of Bnr-
gundy." Neville Soule, the son, at once
challenged the Duke. holding that he had
made the odious and not the complimentary
comparison. The Duke. while protesting
that he had been misunderstood, accepting
the challenge, and named swords as the
weapons. Mr.. Soule was not accustomed
to the use of the sword, but made no de-
murrer. The contest lasted for nearly half
an hour. without either party being wound
cd. The courage and address. Of Young
6oule compensated for his lack of feucine
skill, and he kept the Duke at swords
length and yet being unable 10 punish him.
At the close Of this contest Mr.. Pierre Soule
wrote . challenge TO the Marquis, in the
