Thursday from Fort Randall. They num-
Der, all told, 147. They started with $50.
-Four died on the way-all men-and one was
born. The party shows signs Of the best kind
of treatment at the hands of the military,
and are a different lot Of people from the
sorry Crows who surrendered in starving
condition in 1881. The trip has been cold
and tedious, but the Indians are all in the
best of spirits. From the time the boat passed
the first settlement of Indians, twenty miles
below here, songs OF greeting were heard at
different intervals. When the boat arrived
here Sitting Bulls broad form was discovered
in the rear of the pilot-house, conspicuous in
its solitariness and glaring blue new army
overcoat. The chief looks ten years younger
than when he surrendered, and is evidently
very glad to retnrn. After the first commo-
tion over the arrival, your correspondent was
given ample opportunity for an interview.
Sitting Bull was asked what he wished the
"iren tslker" to tell the President and peo-
pie, and the burden of his reply was [ am
not angry or ashamed. I am glad to be free
once more, and srn to the place where l

The Chinese Question In New York.
New YoRK, May 11th.-The Herald,
which has taken the most active part with
the city penny papers in the Chinese sensa-
ton, whiie the Tribune, Times and other
papers have held aloof, today. in a long edi-
torial, moralizes on the vickedness of the
anti Chinese sentiment. It SAYS Because
the eastern end Of Mott street is almost en-
tirely given up to vicious Cinnamon and their
unclaan ways, just as parts Of the Sixth and
Twenty-ninth and other police precincts are
devoted to iadecencies that the Celestials
must work hard to surpass, there is no possi-
Bile sense in the general TRADE against the
Chinese as q class. Beastly Cinnamon flock
to the Mott.street "joints just as beastly
Americans ceusregate at Billy McGlory's 3
and similar dens. They can't have less pity
for youth and ignorancs than the thousands
of men who were born and reared in the
shadow of the Christian churches.
New York, May 11tb.-The Mail and
Express says: The newspaper exposures of
the Infamous practices of the worst class of
Chinese in Mott and Pell streets have had
the same effect on the notorious opium smok-
ing resorts in that quarter produced by bona
fide police raids on gamblers. The propri-
etors OF these deus Of iufamy, for the most
part, have been sufficiently scared to keep
their places shut in the daytime, and many
Of them have been provided with alarm
bells, while pickets of the DEVILS army have
kept vigilsnt patrol. The Mail and Express
loftily adds s. 1t should not be forgotten by
our Pacific slope friends, that in the midst of
the excitement in our Chinese quarter there
has been no salk of violence. Even the
Chinese joint keepers have been as safe from
rough treatment as our respectable American
merchants on Broadway"

by the police tonight on the opium joints of
Mott street, four arrests were made. Later
two women were arrested at another joint.
New YoRK, May 11th.-"One of the star'.
ling events of the week." said Talmage. st
Tonight, sis the vigorous attack on the
opium dens of New York. The charge is led
on by Father Berry and the Catholic Young
Mems As ociation. It has long been a dis
grace to San Francisco that with the great
opium dens that should have been extirpated
in week, she kt cps them to show to
pe,pls from the Atlantic coast, as sn evil
dence Of the itkedness of the Chinese. I am
glad Father Barry lesds forth in the cam
paign Of deeency against filth. Bravo !!
Let ell newspapers and sll good peo-
pie support him in this movement. The
police have denied the existence of any such
infamy, bu. the headlights Of the New York
newspapers have been turned or, and these
pest-honses of sin, and death, and ignominy,
and outrage will be speedily hurled out of
existence. What is needed in such cases is
not tact or moral suasion, or gospel, but a
police club and the Tombs Court, and the
darkest dungeon CT the penitentiary. 1t is
high time the good people of cities rise up in
their holy wrath and demand that drunken
ness and uucleanliness and crime of sll sorts
quit the city limits. hail this weeks move.
