Sitting.Bulps New Programme.

The Chicago Tribune publishes an ac-
count of an Interview at Bismarck with
Father Genin, the Sioux Missionary, from
which the following facts are obtained:
Sitting Bull and his warriors, and nu-
merous other Indians over whom he
has control, are discontented with their
present situation in the British Domin.
ions, first, because they are not well
treated, and, second, because of the
scarcity of buffalo and other game upon
which they subsist.. 1t was on this ac-
count they raided down into the Milk
River country last winter, at which time
they came down almost to Fort Peck.
Sitting-Bull looks forward to the time
when he must move south of the British
line or starve. He expects to have
trouble with the British forces, and to
overpoweY them, and then is determined
to go south to the buffalo country and
to stay there until our own forces meet
and demand surrender or fight In
anticipation of this change, he has CALI
ed a council of all the Indians on the
Canadian side, composed of Sioux,
Piegans, Assiliiboines, Crees, Big Bears,
and Chippcwas, numbering 6, ,469 lodges,
or about $4,000 warriors, of whom
1000 are hostiles, to meet on the Little
Saskatchewan River about 100 miles
from its mouth Their immediate OBJ
ject is to demand food, and If it is not
forthcoming they will attack Maj.
Walsh and his mounted police, and,
after having overcome them, will then
move to the south, where they must of
necessity encounter our own forces
sooner or later In his interviews with
Father Genin, Sitting Bull stated his
wants very explicitly. He desired to re-
turn to his own country, and would not
fight unless he were compelled. He
cared nothing for the mineral wealth OF
the country, but would be willing to
stay north of the Missouri and roam
about the Milk River country, which in
cludes a long, narrow strip, adjacent to

Fight With q Bull.

Late last fall Mr.. Lardin, a man of
wealth and ar admirer of blooded stock,
imported from England a splendid 2
year-old short-horned Durham bull at a
cost OF 81, $50; alsotwo Durham heif-
ers at cost of $3.50 each. GEL Toro"
was considered not only by its owner,
but by all who saw him, as one of the
most perfect specimens of his species
ever brought to this country. He was
tractable and soon became almott pet
with his master, who keptthe 300 pound
monster housed but not tied. Three
weeks ago Mr.. Lardin, who weighs over
200 pounds, went into the stable for the
purpose of putting rope through an
iron ring in the bulls nose and tying
him up. Placing his hand on the ami
mails horn, Mr. Lardin was about to
reach down to seize the ring, when the
bull suddenly threw up his head, strik-
ing Mr.. Lardin just over the left eye
with the horn and knocking him down.
Turning with all the qnickness of rat
terrier, the infuriated brute sprang upon
the PROSTATE man and attempted to
gore and crush him to death. Luckily
MIR. Lardin fell close to the wall of the
stable, so that the animal was unable to
carry out his purpose by reason of his
horns striking the side of the building.
The animal then attempted to
crush hi, victim by kneeling
upon him, but again the side of the sta
BILE prevented. This failure seemed to
madden him still further. and he threw
his whole tremendous weight against
the side of the building in desperate
attempt to once more use his horns.
Fortunately the boards stood the test,
but one of his horns struck Mr.. Lardin
on the left shoulder, and passing over
his chest until reaching the
breastbone, where but for the shelter
afforded by the wall a death-wound
must have been inflicted. Lying as still
as he could, while the bull was butting
with all his might, Mr. Lardin kept feel
ing cautiously for the ring in the ami
malls nose, when a sudden movement
brought it within reach, and it was in
stantly seized by the desperate man.
With quick wrench and death grip
the bull found himself instantly shorn
OF strength. With both wrists almost
broken, both thumbs nearly dislocated,
his body crushed and bleeding, and
nearly stripped of clothing, Mr.. Lardin
staggered to his feet and led the bull
out of the stable, across a lot to an
eight-rail fence. Here he pulled the
brute's nose up after him as he climbed
until he was ready to drop on the other
side, when he let 60 and ran as fast as
his legs could carry him.-OI City (Pa.)

A Hydrophobia Story from Down East.

A correspondent of the Littleton (N..
H. Republic says that many years ago
Noah Hatch, of Northumberland, a.
wealthy farmer, had three or four chill
dren bitten by rabid dog. On the first
symptoms of rabies in the children he
started for the ocean. Portland was
the nearest point and 1875 miles distant,
but he reached it in about twenty hours
by frequent change of horses, and
Immediately put the children on board
a sailing craft and took them out short
distance, and, fastening weights to-
them, three times sank them in the
ocean, keeping them under as long as
was safe without extinguishing life.
The effect of the submerging was the
cure Of the children. Alpha, one Of the
bitten children, had hydrophobia
spasms, and would snap her teeth, froth
at the mouth, and bark like q dog before
reaching Portland. This individual,
now nearly IS years old, resides in
Bethlehem, and Mrs. Charlotte Waters,
now living in Stratford,, was one of the
bitten children. The dog that bit the
children bit several animals that subse-
quently became rabid and were killed.
