not talk so from talking at all. This Spot.
ted Horse has always talked as meanly as il
was possible for him to do so. He has told
me that he would kill some of the Indians
if they didn't stop farming.
And this is the man the committee put
forward to intimidate the Crow people. and
thus get them to say just what they wanted
them to say. The result was that the better
element of the Grow Nation was in doubt as
to what was the best thing for them to do,
and SO either stayed away entirely to avoid
quarreling with Spotted Horse and his
young men and Deaf Bull, or else said they
wanted the lease stopped, rs they would
have said of any paper or proposition that
might have been presented to them at such
a time and in such manner
think it was very great wrong to per-
NIT outside parties to come upon this reser-
vation to incite the Indians as they have
done. 1t would have been all right, of
course, to send an officer of the Department,
or several of them, if necessary, to arrive at
the truth of the matter concerning the lease.

long as live, that the only wrong done here
was the wrong of tying up great body of

the Crows to sign the lease.
Very respectfully, H. J. ARMSTRONG,
Agent.

me when I say that my only object in writ

Mrs Ellen Call Long, lady Commissioner of
Florida, called few ladies together in the build
ing OF the United States Life Saving Service at 4
O'Clock yesterday
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was present.
Mrs. Long explained the purpose of the NO
mans National Relief Association which was
formed in New York City in $780, and which is
now under the Presidency of Mrs. Chief Justice
Waite. The Association was formed with some
what the same object as that of the Red Cross
Society, but this is strictly national
They found that after persons had been res
cued from wrecks they were often in a COM
pletely destitute condition, as were persons after
fires and floods.
Stations are established in many parts of the
country, which collect money and clothes for
these destitute sufferers, and distribute them to
the Life Saving depOts
In the Mississippi floods the Association acted
noble part, expending thousands of dollars in
Louisiana and Mississippi
The flag carried down the river by the Asso-
clation al that time was exhibited, and also the
little mite boxes in the shape of life boats which
are allowed to be placed on all The shps to get
contributions for the society.
Mrs. Long hoped that the New Orleans wo-
men would take this matter up and had received
a promise that the Woman's Club, of New Or
leans, would give IL their attention
Capt: Mcclellan added few words, and Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe, in the midst of her remarks,
suggested that amidst wOman's work in saving
Lille that she should devote as much time as size
possibly could to sanitary work as applied to her
home and its surroundings. Much might be
done by systematic organization, and the au-
thorllies might be greatly aided by the mistresses
OF houses enforcing the closest attention to sani-
tary laws which apply to the cleansing and dis
injecting of premises and care in the Ventilation
oil homes, preparation Of food and airing of bed
and ether clothing Mrs. Howe was listened to
with marked attention; she always speaks intel
ligently, and from valuable fund of obscrya-
tion, reading and experience.
Mrs Olive Wright, of Colorado, then, in a few
appropriate remarks, presented the Woman's
Club of this city with a number of valuable and
interesting books and other objects of interest,
after which the assembly gradually dispersed
