Villas and other officials this afternoon, and
the secretary addressed them as follows:
my friends: You have travelled long
way to visit Washington, and ] am glad
to see you. The congress which makes
laws which govern this whole country, has
made the law (holding in his hand the act)
for the purchase of your reservation. Con-
gress saw that the time had come for the
Sioux Indians to take sure steps towards
civilization, and that the waste and un-
used lands of their reservation ought to
be settled upon and made homes of"
The secretary then explained in detail
the methods which he had adopted to sc.
cure the faithful, honest and free express
sion of their wishes with respect to the
law-whether they would accept or reject
it. White Ghost, Swift Bird and Swift
Bear claimed that they were much fatigued
from the long journey and wished a post
ponement OF the council until Monday
next, which the secretary granted.
