Indians.


MIssoULA M. T J, September j b.-Sen-
.tor Vest and Delegate Msginnis, OF the 10.
dian Missions. returned here to-day from
st. Mar. i Mission, Bite X lDt alley. at
the Fiathesd Agency the Indians refused 10
sell suy ,rtion of their reserve, or move
10 another reservation. They said they had
no grievances, and were highly pleased with
THAR Agent, MAJOR Rjnsn, and all they de-
sired was to keep whisky away from their
Young men. The Pen dO;eile and Kotenai
chiefs indorsed the above.
The S. Igustius Mission Schools, slso on
the reservation, wera visited by the Commls-
sion. The schools are well conducted by the
Sisters Of Charity and priests. About fifty
Indian girls and the same number OF boys
are being educated. and they show rensrka-
Bile proficiency. Senator Vest spoke highly
of the teachers and pupils.
The council at st. Msry's Mission yester-
day was rather dramatic. Charios, the FIAT
head chief with few hundred Indians, has
steadily refused to go upon the reservation.
The Indians cultivate few ranches, but are
steadily growing poorer, and the valley. is
thickly settled by whites. The reservation
Indians and whites want the Indians removed
to the reservation to avoid anticipated trouble.
In the council Senator Vest and Maginnis
sat opposite the chiefs. Through an inter
Charles. who is a noted brave, with faca
of wonderful strength and msssiveness. gsz5d
defantly at Vest for a moment, and then be-
gan his reply. 1--WE are only few. We
ara poor and weak. You want to place your
foot upon our reck, and grind our faces in the
dust, but 1 will not go. 1 will go to the
plains"
"Nez Perces tried to go to the plains, u
broke in Vest. Look, there are no plains
now! The white men are as thick as leaves
from ocesn to ocean. II you do not get a
title TO vour lands here, like the white men,
the soldiers will come some day and place
you upon reservation"
"My hands and those ef my psople are
free from the white mans blood, said
Charlos. "Whsn the Nez Perces came here
we protested to the whites. Why does the
white man take hi4 part from US now?
Then he took IF his hat, threw it upon the
hoor, stamped upon it, and with bszlng eyes
gazing upon Vest he shouted. You may
take Charles to the reservation, but there
will be no breath in his nostrils. Charles will
be dead be Will never go there alive
Senator Vest stood up and answered the
tawny caieftain in language as emphatic IS
his own, that he must obey the white man, 3
laws as implicitly as did the white man. II
he did not, he must go where the Government
chooses to send him"
Before tire Council broke up Charles agreed
to 20 to Washington with Agent Roaan and
talk the matter over with the Great Father.
The Commissioners leave tonight for
Helens and the Blackfoot Agency, thence to
Fort Assiniboine to meet the northern tribes
A Phenomenal Horse.
CHICAGO, September 12th.-The Tribuae's
indianapolis special says: The local sporting
fraternity is now agog over the latest senss-
ton in the shape OF hsrsetesh, and II the
tales told are true it is certainly wonder.
John Martin, blacksmith at Noble sville,
twenty miles north of here, is the owner Of
the horse, a six-year.old stallion. lie &C.
cepted an old mare in payment for a debt,
and she fosled the horse. The sire Is not
known. Martin did not know what prize
he had, and since the animal was broken he
has been driven to the owners buggy. Re-
Gently Martin was led to believe that he
might venture to enter the county fair races
with some promise of success, but when he
applied ct Noblesville aud elsewhere he was
hooted at. Last week he was admitted to q
county fair at Northern Indiana, and to ev-
erybody's surprise captured prize with ease.
Last Friday, there being nobody to enter one
of the Noblesville races, Martin was told
that If he could beas 230 with his old brute he
might have the stake. Without any prepar-
alton he accomplished the mile in 2:24 on a
half.mile track. The horse has never been
trained, nor even taken care of more than
comfortably. One thousand dollars has been
offered for him, and admirers of the animal
offer to back him in a race for S., 600 against
the horse Mambrino, with a record of 2:16.
DIR. Brown, learning the history of the ami
NAL, went up to Noblesville and hunted out
the old mare which fosled the horse and
bought her for $780, and two days later, on
the reputation of her sod, sold her for 5000.

latest arrivals here from Pansma is Captain
John H. Ackers, of Brooklyn, who recently
made careful examination OF DE Lesseps'

porter, he said: Along forty-eight miles,
where it is proposed to dig the canal, there
are dredging machines, exosvstsrs, station
ary engines and other paraphernalla Tor the
work proiscted. but the whole collection srs
practically useless. Some OF it Hes used Tor
excsysting sand when the Suez Canal was
dug, and it WON'T be worth much on the
American Isthmus. 0GlY natives and negroes
will consent to work on the canal. Tne lat

The Canal Company have received q number
of new locomotives for their railroad, but
they are too long for the shert curves on the

vision in It which prevents foreigners from
owning the road. Occasionally there is

their assistants, caused by fever breaking out
among them"
