The Sioux Commission and the Pres.
ident.


INTERVIEW AT THE WHITE HOUSE TO-DAY.
General D. s. Stanley, U. s. A., Hon. j. NJ.
Haworth. Hon. A. L. Riggs and Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Hayt, composing the Sioux
commission, had a conference with the Presi-
dent this morning. Major O'Bierne, who ac-
cOmpanied the commission west as newSpa.
per correspondent, was also present at the
conference. general conversation was had
about the removal of the Spotted Tai and
Red Cloud Indians, and the members Of the
commission gave the President general out
line of the report they would make. The prin-
that the Red Cloud Indians be removed to
White Clay Creek, and the Spotted Tail In
dians to the Rosebud that a general depot for
both agencies be located on the Missouri about
twenty miles below the White river, and that
the names of the agencies be changed to Ogal-
lalla and Rosebud. The President inquired as
to the water on the new reservations and gen
qualification when he learned from the COM
miSsiOners that the country was excellent for
the Indians in all respects. In reply to inquiries
from him if there would be any trouble in ef-
fecting the removal Of the Indians, answers
were given that there would not. The Indians
were peaceable and there would be no trouble
with them. The recent reports through mill
tary channels to the contrary were sensational.
The only cause for trouble would be the failure
OF the government to carry out its agreement.
This agreement would be promptly fulfilled,
commissioner Hayt assured the President,
and without other than absolutely necessary
delay. Three million and five hundred pounds
of freight for the Indians had already been
purchased and was ready to be shipped to
them. The President expressed him self as sat
isfed with the work Of the CONN.,. JsOn, and
that body withdrew.

CHARLES SING, a chinese shoemaker, who
married Miss Ida Kilburn, of North Adams,
Mass, has solved one of the difficulties of the
Chinese question. 1t is estimated that there
are three hundred thousand unmarried wO-
men in Massachusetts, all of whom more or
less believe that there is something wrong
about our social system that needs reform.
Charles Sing, by taking one of them to wife
has introduced the needed reform and done
what in him lies to Offset the evils of Chinese
cheap labor. If other of the MOngOlS should
initiate the example of Charles Sing and take
to their boSOms others of the MaSsachuSetl 8
old maids there would be a 'mOvement'' in
favor of Celestial immigration but the Asiatic
way IS the reverse of this. They make a lot
OF money in America and then go back to
China and marry some slanteyed heatheness-
