How Custer Died-Graphic Description
of the Massacre Oh the Little Big Horn.

Sr. PAUL, June pa special TO
the Pioneer Press from Custer's bat
Hefeld, in Montana, describes the cell
ebration of the tenth anniversary of the
battle by few of its survivors. The
Sioux chief, Gall, went over the field
and described the manner in which
Custer!s command YVES Destroyed.
Gall is a fine-Iooking Indian, 46
years old, weighing over 200 pounds.
He was reticent at first, but finally he
told his story with dignIiy and ami
nation:
We saw the soldiers early in the
morning crossing the divide. When
Reno and Custer separated
watched them them until they came
down into the valley. The cry was
raised "the white soldiers are coming"
and orders were given for the village
to move Immediately.
Reno swept down SO rapidly upon
the upper end that the Indians were
forced 10 fight.
Sitting Bull and / were at the point
where Reno attacked. Sitting Bull
was the big medicine man. The
women and children were hastily
moved down the stream where the
Cheyennes were encamped.
The Sioux attacked Reno and the
Cheyenes Custer, aud then all became
mixed up. The women and children
caught horses for the bucks to mount.
Then the bucks mounted and charged
back on Reno, checked him and drove
him into the timber. The soldiers

been done. Speaking as to the cause
of Mr.. Gladstone's recent defeat, Mr..
Manning said that it seemed to him
that careful examination of tha text
OF the bill which was refused a second
reading was necessary to an adequate
realization of the difficulties in the
path Of Mr.. Gladstone, and he added
the problem is most difficult of solu.
tion. The statesmen of our Own con-
stitional epoch created a fourteenth
government for national concern out
of the thirteen existing a1d jeaiou
sovereign States, but the British Par
Lament has to construct an Irish
government for local concerns out of
one imperial govei nment, which has
not written constitution, distributing
into three compartments executive,
legislative and judicial functions, and
providing for Supreme Court appo-
inted for life, which can peremptorily
decide when either department or any
one of the autenomics and confederated
states overtops its prescribed bound.
aries. Mr.. Gladstone has also to en-
counter the peril which inevita bly,
environs one who is compelled to in
itiate and formulate a plan and SUBJ
NIT it TO hostile legislative criticism.
The purpose of his bill is the reestab.
lishment OF legislative body in Ire-
land to deal with affairs purely Irish,
without detriment to the unity and
interests of the realm at large. The
difficulty lieA in its de ails rather than
its principle, and when the details
were seen by him to be unacceptable
he endeavored to withdraw the bill
for future amendment as to details but
10 obtain at the same time an indorse
ment of the principle by the second
reading of the bill. Then the ops
ponents of the ministry demanded a
definition of the principle apart from
the definition set forth in the bill.
