They Return from the East and Mr..
Bull Becomes a Private Citizen.
The Sitting Bull combination that started
out two or three months ago under the dircc-
ton and general management of Col Allen,
returned to st. Paul yesterday, with the ex-
ception of Long Dog, Spotted Horse Bull
and Mrs. Spotted Horse Bull and Louis Pr-
meau. who returned several weeks ago.
Those who came yesterday were Sitting Bull
and wife, Grow Eagle, Gray Eagle, Flying
By, Princess Red Spear, Harry
Mclaughlin. These left yesterday
afternoon for the reservation. Col.
Alien will remain in New York for s. few
days. Ehle Allen and Major Newson re-
turned to ST. Paul with the Indians. Major
Newson says the com bination was successful
in money point of view. at New York
they exhibited for three weeks, giving five
exhibitions daily at each one of which be
spoke about twenty minutes. From New
York they went to Philadelphia, where they
exhibited for two weeks in the same way as
at New York They then went to Brooklyn
for week. He says that over loo, 900 people
visited the show. The major is quite hoarse
on account of his frequent talks, and is
pretty well tagged out, with his exertions
in Indiana oratory. The immediate occasion
for the return of the major is the fact of his
having received the in formation that several
members OF his family were sick, and he felt
that it WAS more important to him to re-
turn home and attend to them than it was to
continue with the CONT alton. He there
fore determined TO return i'm mediatey and
L.
ton in New York, in a financial point OF
view, and it proved a drawing card every
where. 1t was originally the in
tentiou 10 take the indians on
to Boston, Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New Orleans, and then in
the spring to take them 10 Europe. When the
major started outhe expected TO be with the
ombination for year, but found it impos
sible on account of sickness in his family,
Politics interfered some with the combina-
ton in general way, but on the whole they
did all the business they could conveniently
handle
''Have a cigar with me,'' said Ehle Allen,
chief engineer of the Sitting Bull circus, to a
GLOBE reporter, as be emerged from the
Merchants barber shop last night. The
scribe said be would have TO go him just
once, and after the Havanas were lit a
pleasant conversation ensued on the political
situation east in general and the luck of the
Sitting Bull racket in particular.
After SAYING that it was safe to gamble
two to one on New York state going Demo-
cratic, Mr.. Allen spoke of the Indian show.
1--WE have had most successful trip" he
said, land aside from the good time all
around, land New York isn't so very slow,
my boy,) we quit about 1000 ahead.
| Why, you should have seen the
crowd that waited in front of
the Eden musee the day we opened.
Twenty-third street was damned, and mind
| you We hadn't been billed much either and
| didn't know how we were going to show. 1t
was the same way in Brooklyn, and we
scooped them in Philadelphia
With reference to the unexpected return
of the party, he said that they had been
called back by influences emanating from
Standing Rock, intimating that the
Catholic clergy, under whose charge
Sitting Bull and his people are at present,
| desired the party to return until after the
election. In conclusion he said thatas soon
as the election was over they expected to re-
| turn.
