INVESTIGATING THE SIOUX.
Sitting Bull Finds Out that He Isn't Chief
in This Campaign.

Fort YATES, D. T., Aug. 22.-Senators
Dawes, Logan and Cameron, of the select
coi.-mttee to inquire into the grievances of
the Sioux Indians, held a council here, to-
day, with the confederated bands at this
agency. About 500 Indians were present,
including Sitting Bull, Gall and Rain-inthe-
face, said to be the man who killed Gen. Gus
ter. The inquiries of the commission were
principally directed to an investigation
of the terms of agreement ceding $4,000
square miles of this reservation to the gov
eminent IN consideration of %, 900 cows and
1000 bulls. The Indians claimed that they
signed the agreement when not fully under
standing it. They say they now wish TO be.
come farmers and own their land in sever
atty, if they can be furnished with nipple
ments and instructions in cultivation.
They are not willing, however, to
give up their rations, but insist
on their continuation under this policy. In
the council Sitting Bull told the committee
that he had been appointed by the Great
Spirit to speak to them, and that he alone
had the right to express the sentiments OF
the Sioux. When informed that all should
receive recognition, he used insulting lam
guage to the committee and left the council.
he afterwards returned, apologized, and adj
dressed the committee, saying he wished
IS, 600 for the land covered by the agree
ment.
AT the close of the council General Logan
administered the following rebuke to Sitting
Bull:
"Sitting Bull, this commission came here in
behalf of the government, having nothing in
view except to ascertain the wants of the In
dams, and to inquire into the provisions of the
treaty recently made, and whether or not 1t is
satisfactory. When you talked with the com
mission you insulted them. This is not the first
time you have been guilty of Otfenses of this
kind TO committees of Congress. You said you
were chief appointed by the Great Spirit. You
were not appointed chief by the Great Spirit,
nor mas any one been. You are not a great chief
of this country. You have no following,
no power, control, and right 10
any control. You are on an Indian reservation
at the sufferance of the government, fed and
clothed by the government. All you have is the
gift OF the government. tell you this that you
may know that you cannot insult people who
come here, nor committees of Congress. You
must behave yourself like good Indian, and If
you should ever be guilty of such thing again
you will be put into the guard-house and to
work"
Sitting Bull sat in silence during General
Logan's remarks, making no sign beyond a
few shrugs OF the shoulders.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
Generally Favorable Conditions for the Au-

New York, Aug. PAR. G. Dun & Co. s
Mercantile Agency reports that nothing oc-
CURED during the week to alter the gener-
ally favorable conditions which exist for au-
tumn business. Business throughout the
country has been well maintained. Bank
exchanges indicate considerable increase
over the corresponding week of last year,
and there certainly are indications of in
creased activity at many leading centers.
The conditions of the money market seem
favorable, and the year is likely to be one of
vast production. The grain market has been
irregular, at times giving some evidence
of strength, but all advance in price has been
subsequently lost Provisions are also
Irregular with considerable fluctuations
but closing weaker In petroleum the
market is generally unsettled, with a ten
Gency upward, but without material ad-
vance. Freights are stronger, with desirable
tonnage in good request. The wool trade is
dull. The market view for cotton is i'm
proved somewhat, on account of the reports
of damage and short crop In butter and
cheese business is moderately active, with
some export demand. Brazil grades of coffee
are in better demand and at slightly i'm
proved prices. Tea is dull and unchanged.
Raw sugar is a little more active prices
steady. Refined is in only moderate demand
at prices trit1e weaker. The iron trade is
not very satisfactory. In consequence Of a
supply of most kinds OF pig. prices are lower
The feeling in trade, however is more hope

The Vice Regal Visitor.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The marquis oi
Lorne to-day visited the capitol, in com.
pany with his suite and the British min.
ister, and the party was subsequently
joined by Speaker Keifer and escorted
to the private gallery. No ceremony
was observed, and after an interval Of
half an hour the party went over to the
senate. The party proceeded to the real
Of the senate on the republican side, and
the presentation of senators to the mar.
quis commenced. It was noticed that
when Wade Hampton and Butler were
introduced the marquis retained then
hands longer and tighter than any Of
the others, probably as token of esteem
for the kindness shown himself and wife
while at Charleston. The reception
was entirely informal and business was
not interrupted by the advent of the
party, who spent half an hour on the
floor. A laughable incident occurred
during their stay, caused by the sudden
lighting of the hall, and the simultane
GUS dropping of cane by some careless
spectator in the gallery over the head Of
the marquis. The latter was conver.
sing with Senator Edmunds, when sud.
denly there was loud clicking caused
by the electric lighting apparatus in the
roof of the chamber, while the spectator
referred to, in his anxiety to catch a
glimpse of the visitor, let his cane slip
out Of his hand, creating terrible cla-
NOR as it rebounded from step to step.
The marquis looked forlorn, as did his
escort, probably anticipating q bomb as
the next offering in their honor from q
Fenian or nihilist. A ripple Of laughter
followed from the galleries at the oddity
Of the situation, and during this the Wis.
itors Departed. ,ll.-

An Illuminated Ice Palace,

Montreal Special to New York Sun:
At night the ice palace was Q thing of
beauty again. The electric lights made
it huge crystal lantern. All the people
and all the sleighs turned toward the
Victora rink at this time, and about 1900
of those who went there got in. The
building is like that of the American In
stitute in New York. It was hung with
British and Yankee flags. The band Of
the Victoria :ritles played in the galleries
The spectators lined the walls. The
main floor was sheet of virgin ice
Suddenly from Zone of the doors there
dropped out q myriad of figures in gay
attire-bakers, clowns, huntsmen, In.
dians negroes, fairies, princesses, squaws
vivandieres, and characters of nearly
everyi imaginable sort. These were
represented by the best Of the
young people of the city,, Such skating
was never seen south of st. Lawrence,
It is said that the mothers here put
skates on their boys and girls with the
firstl pairs of shoes, There was an ice
grotto in the center of the rink kept
ablaze with stage fire. A real fountain
played in it. Around and around this
the skaters swept. The effect was like
the blending rings of color thrown from
magic lanterns. No man on the ice
seemed to resort to muscle, no girl put
forth on effort. Round and round and
in and out they skinned, now slowly
and like meteors, as though the steal they
rode on gathered power from the ice.

An old fashioned woman's crusade
came near being revived in Miller this
week. Two or three young ladies inn
bued with the very laudable spirit oi
checking growing disposition on the
part Of their brothers to play cards and
frequent those places where dissolnte
habits are supposed to originate, paid a
sudden visit in person to these places
and took the wayward youths in charge
1t is said by those who were present, the
appearance of those ladies created a
wild stampede and commotion among q
number of other sisters brothers who
were on hand. 1t was highly amusing
to see how the vacant places under the
billiard tables and behind the bars, were
filed. Three or four, ostrich like, pull
led the lapels of their coats up over
their heads while others attempted to
conceal themselves behind their billiard
cues. The young ladies accomplished
their purposes, however, and were ac-
companied home by crest-fallen and

opposes the proposed reduction in Judge
Moody's salary and gives as its reasons
for such opposition that it costs twice as
much to live in the Hills as in any other
portion of the territory, that the Judge

a year at his own expense and that he is
on able and upright Judge and is worthy
of his hire.
