or more Indians who have surrendered
or are on their way to surrender
at Fort Keogh, have any other than a
merely nominal connection with Sitting Bull.
They went north at the same time he did,
but have never been to any extent under his
personal control. The movements and inten-
lions of that chief are regarded by the De
partment with Indifference. Ii he chooses to
come in and surrender. well and good; ii net.
he must stay on the Canadian side of the
line. The General of the Army does not
think Sitting Bull exercises, or has exercised,
any important influence over the Indians,
from their appearance in such large numbers
at the Agency. The troops in the vicinity
are fully able to check any hostile movement
which might take place, and the disorderly
conduct reported is regarded by the War De-
partment as the natural lawlessness and tur-
bulence of savages coming in in such large
numbers, but without hostile intentions.

| China's New Departure,
| NEW York, August 2Sth.-The Bal{etja
learns from Captain Long, in the Chinese
trade, and recently arrived from a Chinese
port. that steamship line to California has
long been a pet scheme of the Chinese Mer-
chants Company. but he thinks they cannot
run a line chez per than the Pacific Mail
The Japanese line to Hongkong has failed to
sustain itself, and is supported by a Govern
ment subsidy.
The Sun to-day, on China's new departure,
says: In view of the progress which We saw
had been attained three years ago, the present
action of the Chinese seems ineligible |
enough. II the native merchants can save
money by forwarding goods under their own
| flag to Toxic or Rangoon, why should they |
not go further and send their ships across the
Pacific to San Francisco, or through the Suez
Canal to Marseilles and London? Their re-
cent experience in the carrying trade along
more than 5000 miles of the coast of Asia has
demonstrated the perfect feasibility Of their
| transporting large part of their own teas
and silks to foreign countries in vessels owned |
and operated by native capitalists. I'm |
doubtediy the advent of the Chinese in the
| field Of trans-oceanic transport will result in
signal lowering of freights, but we do not
imagine that foreign consumers of Chinese
staples will make any complaint on that score.
