INTERVIEWING HIS ROYAL NIBs.
At the steamboat landing thousand or
more people had gathered in anticipation
of his arrival, to many of whom he gave
audience by answering, through the in
terpreter, questions that were asked.
Mrs. Capt. Harmon, wife of the post
trader, acted IS interpreter, to whom Sit
ting Bull was quite conversational. The
earnestness Of the conversation was
evinced BY the constant and interesting
gestures made. Beside him was q tllp
Indian with hair unadorned and slightly
gray. His narrow forehead and fullness
above the eyes gave him an interesting
countenance. This Indian was intro
duced to Mrs. Harmon as Sitting Bulls
father. He was non-committal in his
conversation, and expressed his apprecia-
ton for the ceurtesias extended by the
officers Of the boat and other gentlemen
he had met in the city. To TRIBUNE re-

tied up for the night, the Indins being al
lowed to go ashore. The squaws quickly
shouldered the blankets and cooking
utensils, and, getting dry wood fer the
purpose, soon had bright fires burning, in
front Of which the sturdy bucks sat and
smoked the pipe. As daakness came and
the fires began to fade away, the scene
from the cabin of the boat was Wierd

Special Dispatch to the Daily Tribune:
SCENES ON THE BOAT.
Fort YATES, August 1.-The steamer
General Sherman arrived at this post at
twelve o'clock, noon. AS soon as the
boat came within sight IF the landing
there was great commotion among the
Indians. All the chiefs quickly assem-
bled on the upper deck, standing in row
at the very forward part. One Of the
number raised yellow flag about yard
square, in the center Of which was rude
design of deer, with two parallel lines
below and above and in the four cor
ners a design representing the double
dagger, as used in printing. This flag
was raised as during battle, and as it
was flung to the breeze the seven chiefs
began their peculiar chanting and mon
otonous song, which was every few mo-
ments varied with warlike yells and Pc
culiar and indescribable demonstrations.
These were continued with greater vehe-
mence as the boat neared the landing,
Indians, soldiers and citizens to the total
number of 500 began to pour down the
sides cf the bluff.
TIE INDIANS ON SHORE
simply said elbow" and manifested but
little interest, as line Of soldiers bay
onets, quickly formed. kept them at a
considerable distance. AS the boat touched
the n ling the chant died away into
low guttera) tones and finally ceased.
During all of this time Sitting Bull stood
immovable and undemonstrable in the
row OF chiefs second from the end farthest
from the landing side. He was the least
adorned of his companions and the last
selected as the notorious one by those un
acquainted with him. After the boat had
touched the shore it was some little time
before the gang planks were run out
and the interpreters having gained per-
mission for him, chief Running Antelope
stepped aboard. He PASSED hurriedly to
the upper deck, and in ascending the
stairs near the side of boat found Sitting
Bull standing yet immovable in the row
of chiefs and directly in front of the
hatclway. He stepped up to Sitting
Bulls back, threw his right arm around
his neck and placed his cheek against his
face and exclaimed in the Sioux laa-
guage,

other chiefs, and Shoot-the-bear, Bear
that-looked- back and Stand-and-kill-him
entered the cabin and took seats in the
circle, and took Whit at the pipe of
peace, passed by the reporter. They as
sumed a stalwart attitude, and Sitting
Bull, who had been talking to interpre-
ters, was again requested to talk. He
arose, gesticulated and talked for about
five minutes, but what he said proved
only to be that he refused to talk for
reasons that were not made public, but
which were afterwards told the reporter.
He promised, however, to give a long talk
when he arrived at Yates and had seen
his people. Capt. Clifford said that the
ful6llment of this promise could be de-
pended upon. The interpreters were
then accused ofhaving purposely thwarted
the object of the interview for the pur-
pose of getting money for the informa-
ton, which Sitting Bull would but for
their advice give to them. Their desire
to hinder the interview was denied, and
they claimed that the interview was not
granted for the reason that what Sitting
Bull would say reflected upon Capt. Cliff
ford. An interview being promised at
Fort Yates the evenings proceedings
were brought to close.
AT EARLY DAWN
the officers and others were awakened
by the plaintive songs of the Indians, and
as soon as on tie boat the Indians began
arranging their toilet. The bucks un-
braided the hair Of the squaws, combed
it out and creased it with pork and re-
braided it. A pine stick was then dipped
into the ochre pot and the scalp partings
of the hair painted red. Then with their
hands any desired coloring was applied
to their faces according to the kind Of
beauty desired. During this operation
the eyes are closed and the eyeiids are
rubbed as thoroughly as any portion Of
the face.
The first night out from Buford squaw
took standing position in the center Of
the camp, and, dancing about the camp
fire sang the following thanksgiving song,
which was literally translated as follows:
Be brave my friends be brave,
Ny fathers and my brothars lit up your hearts
and be strong;
Ny brothers and my sisters paint your faces.
Ny father and my mother, let not sorrow I'LL
your hearts,
For the white men have met US, and have fed
us with food. ...
Be not afraid, be not afraid 5.....
mo chorus, and no metre.

The Chiefs Arrival.
AT THE T,RVEE.

All was hustle and excitement at the
levee Sunday morning in anticipation of
the arrival of Sitting Bull. AT 10 o'clock
he arrived, and Capt. G. W. Bachelor, Of
Pltlsburg and one of the principal owners
of the Yellowstone line, and B. D. Yer
milye, private secretary of general maua-
ger Haupt, Of the North Pacific, took the
famous chief in charge and invited him
to visit the city. He was asked to step
into the general managers car and ride
up town, but this he refused, not fully un-
derstanding the modus operandi of the
cars BE requested that the car be moved
so that he might see how it worked, but
after this request was granted he was
more confused than ever and declared he
would rather walk than approach the
machine. A government ambulance
being near at hand, Maj. Kirk kindly
offered the use of the vehicle for the trip.
The large crowd which had gathered at
the landing now began to disperse in the
direction Of town, where they understood
Sitting Bull was to be given reception.
From Capt. Clifford, who was in charge
of the boat and Indians, it was learned
that nothing of interest took place on the
boat coming down; that Sitting Bull was
ievial and not at all respondent as reported
At Buford he was morose and imperative
in his requests to be left at that post, but
finally discovering that Uncle Sam was
determined in the matter he made little
resistance, although he held to the last
that he thought it was wrong. On the
boat one or two songs were INDUCED in,
but everyone was orderly and under per-
feet discipline.

In the Spring of 1877 Senator Blaine,
being called on to make an energetic pro-
test against some phase Of President
Hayes policy touching Governors Packard
and Chamberlain, concluded q lengthy tel
| egram to the Boston Herald Of April 10 in
the following words, published next day in
the Associated Press dispatches:
81 trust, also, that both Governors know
that the Boston press nc more represents
the STALWART Republican feeling Of
New England on the pending issues than
the same press did when it demanded the
enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law in
1851"
The advocates of the Hayes policy i'm
mediately tossed the word ''stalwart" back
and forth in terms OF ridicule, and made
merry over it, as they thought, at Mr..
! Blaine's expense. AS usual, Mr.. Blaine
| stood his ground, and his phase soon took
its place in the political nomenclature OF
| the day. 1t was Mr.. Blaine who first used
| it, and it must be exceedingly gratifying
| for Mr.. Conkling to strut around in the
| borrowed plumage of the Secretary of State.
1t was a year or two later that Mr.. Conk-
ling adopted the word, for during the early
period OF Mr.. Hayes Administration,
| when his policy was announced and in
augurated, Mr.. Conkling kept very quiet
| and was understood to be acquiescent. He
was anything else than Stalwart then.
Two or three days after Hayes was inau-
gurated, Mr.. Conkling voted against seat
ing Kellogg from Louisiana, and made sew
eral demonstrations which were decidedly
anti-Stalwart. In short, just 80 long as
Mr.. Hayes kept his hands off of the pat
ronage Of New York Mr.. Conkling had NO
| occasion to be a Stalwart at all. But when
the President touched the Custom House
by replacing Mr.. Arthur, Mr.. Conkline
became the Stalwart Of the party, and has
ever since sought to appropriate the title.
Conscientious objection to Hayes policy
| did not make Conkling a Stalwart. But he
overfowed with Stalwartism when the do
main Of patronage was invaded.
And so now, again, Mr.. Conkling re-
turns to his muttons." 1t Is the Custom
House once more. Other Senators and
former statesmen have had distinctive
fields OF action and marked features il
their careers. Mr.. Webster expounded thu
| Constitution, Mr.. Clay built up the Ameri
can system, Mr.. Calhoun labored for Stat,
rights, Mr.. Benton battled for hard money
Mr.. Seward struggled for the abolition O
s~layery-but Mr.. Conkling has expended
all his great energies and conceded abili
ties in upholding the grandeur of the Gus
tom House and the sacredness Of patron
age. Let New York rise in her might, ant
keep her great Senator in his splendid an,
ennobling career.-N. Y. Tribune.

Some months ago several business and
professional men Of Bodie organized a
prospecting syndicate, with a capital stock
Of $3.50. The Free Press says that q large
and powerful horse, q fine blackboard,
harness, tools, provisions, blankets, arms,
ETC., were purchased, and these together
with a well-illed purse, placed in the
hands OF a chosen prospector and he at
once moved upon the rich mineral region
Of Inyo County. After a while the pros
pector drew upon the syndicate for more
money, writing from Big Pine. The
money was sent, but had scarcely reached
its destination when the trusted ~prospector
made another draft. This was repeated
until the syndicate became bankrupt, and
then the prospector became silent. In
quiry about the horse, blackboard and
harness revealed the fact that the 'hon-
est'' prospector had soaked" them at Big
Pine and left for parts unknown, remark
ing as he left, that while he "didn't regard
the prospecting expedition as an unqual-
flied success, yet he'd had a hades sight Of
fun playing poker" The horse, harness
and blackboard were redeemed, and on
Wednesday last Smith & Stevens sold them
at auction for 500. A number of cases
similar to the above have occurred in this
locality.

The MasfOdOus.

The Ministries drew another good house
last night, and the season Of four perform
ances has been the most successful given
in the present theater. Although surfeited
with amusements, good, bad and indiffer-
ent, the Mastodons have demonstrated the
fact that Eureka is a good show town when
an entertainment is offered worthy Of pat
robage. The company carries no dead
weight. 1t is strong in numbers, and COM
posed OF artistic material. 1t has an ex-
cellent band, splendid dancers, and some
OF the best delineators Of the ne
gro character on the stage. With
such an array of talent, minstrelsy
takes a powerful hold on the amusement
public, but the lack Of versatility and
change OF programme is a serious draw
back. No doubt many of those
who attended the Mastodons' per-
formances were surprised at the
similarity OF much Of the bust
ness with that OF the Big Four,
while many Of the gags were identical.
In going further westward the Mastodons
will have to look to their laurels for origi-
nality. The closing act last night was a
decided improvement on the one the pre-
ceding evenings, though there was scarcely
enough Of it. 1t was ell Trovatore y
with a vengeance, and would have stirred
Verde to the marrow to have witnessed it.
The music was delightfully."- rendered, and
Emerson, Vernon and Kayne gave the vo-
cal score in a manner that brought out en-
thusiastic applause. 1t was a happy ter
mination of q successful season.

A False

Dame Rumor was busy yesterday in cir
culating a report that the Eureka Il Cali
fornia Lumber Company would remove
from their present extensive quarters, on
upper Main street. to give place to the
depot of the Eureka & Colorado Railroad.
A SENTINEL reporter interviewed Mr.. Mills
on the subject last evening, and that gem
tieman stated emphatically that the old
bag lied. The report probably gained
currency from the fact that the Lumber
Company has for some time been consider
ing the matter OF removing the yard to
the lower part of the town, nearer to the
depot. But there Is no truth whatever OF
a railroad depot being placed on the site
now occupied.

Some OF the newspapers are comment

that occur in Bodie, says the Standard,
and argue that the town must be bad. To

Times are dull, money scarce, and the
weather miserable. Under such a condi-
ton Of affairs there must be some mex
