Another delegation of Indians arrived
in the city yesterday and were assigned
quarters at the fremont. They be-
longed to the Piutes, of the Humboldt
valley, Nevada, and are here for the
purpose of discussing matters relative
to their tribe with President Hayes.
The party consists of Winnemucca, the
head chief, his son Naches and daughter
Sarah, and sub-chief, Captain Jim.
They are all intelligent looking, speak
English fuently, and wear the garb of
civilized people.
MISS SARAH
Is about twenty eight years OF age,
dresses IN the latest style, and is a con-
firmed coquette. In conversation
with reporter of the National Repub-
lican last evening she stated that she
had been educated at a seminary In San
Jose, California, and desired to make
her mark as lecturer. She intended
to deliver one while in Washington,
and hoped to satisfy her audience. She
thought Washington the handsomest
city she had ever visited, being far
superior to San Francisco, Chicago, st.
Louis, or any of the great Western cit
les. She intended while here to ex-
plore every public building thoroughly,
especially the Capitol and Smithsonian
Institute. She seemed very proud of
her knowled se of English, and during
her conversation took especial pains to
exhibit a set of very pretty teeth.
HER BROTHER, NACHEs,
Seemed very prond OF his accomplished
sister, and every point made by her
was thoroughly appreciated The faith.
err, Winnemucca, a scared and wrinkled
old specimen, probably about seventy
years old, enjoyed the conversation,
while Captain Jim, who squatted on
the floor. nodded his approval and
grunted out his pleasure. During a
pause in the conversation, there came
tap at the door, and in response to
oURAY, HEAD CHIEF OF THE UTEs,
entered the apartment. He was intro
duced to all present, and seemed to be
particularly attracted toward Winnie
mucca. The two chiefs held short
talk for few minutes, Miss Sarah act
ing as interpreter. The nature OF the
conversation was not divulged, but it
must have been pleasant one to all
concerned, judging from their smiling
countenances. The National Rcpub
LEANS reporter sought to elicit some of
Ouray's motives for his visit to Wash
ington, but he became taciturn at once.
In reply to a question as to what he
thought of Washington, he said it was
a good city, and the people he had met
thus far were very kind to him. A
cane surmounted with a dogs head,
which belonged to the Republicans
envoy, attracted his attention: and he
examined it critically, and from the
envious look in his eye he evidently
wished to secure it. He was accord
ingly made happy by the presentation
of it, and acknowledged it by hee .ty
''thauk you, delivered in the plainest
English. His conversation, however,
is not SO plain as many have been led
TO believe, consisting Of a jargon, OF
which Indian, Spanish and broken
English are thc principal features.
EAcHes,
Was impressed by his exalted rank,
and only ventured one question, as to
how far the Utcs lived from Salt Lake.
Upon being told by Ouray, three
hundred miles" he subsidized quietly
and gracefully. Miss Sarah, however,
did the talking for the party, and
seemed much amused at Ouray's failure
to comprehend many IF her questions.
An inquiry as to the health of Lis wife
brought forth the reply that she was
much better and would attend the per-
Torrance OF the "Black Crook" to-
night, in order to regain her accustomed
cheerfulness. The other members of
the Ute delegation are growing more
