on Secretary Lamar one day last week.
While waiting 70 be admitted Assistant Sec
rotary Joslyn noticed that the Indian chief
was rather shabbily dressed, and, going into
the Secretary's room, suggested that an order
lie gwen for the purchase of new suit for
Red Cloud. The suggestion pleased Mr..
Lamar, and he came out Immediately, shook
hands cordially with the chief, and said to
Mr.. Josyn: 'Dress him up fine" Indian
Commissioner Price was then directed to
issue an order on clothing store for new
suit for Il "A Cloud; but, TO the ast9nishment
Of every body in the Office. Mr., Price positively
refused to obey the order. Secretary Lamar

obey his superiOr's orders Is said to be owing
to the fact that Red Cloud has declined to call
on him since his arrival in the city.
