The people of Dakota must accect the
conclusion that for the present the ne
Rotiations with the Sioux Indians for
the surrender of one half their reserva-
tion are failure. At the three agencies
visited the commission has succeeded in
securing the consent of but 1876 Indians
and III of these willing reds reside OF
Grow Greek, q reservation which is not
q part of the great Sioux reservation :
This reduces to twenty-five the
number OF actual occupants of
the tract to be given up to
civilization who have expressed
their Willingness to permit the transfer.
These twenty-five were found at Stand
ing Rock and Lower Brule. The COM
mission has now departed for Cheyenne
agency, an untried field, and they go
there without much hope of success.
Rev. W. J. Cleveland, OF the commission,
writes friend at Sioux Falls:
We shall certainly do ell in our power
to secure the three fourths required by
the bill bot there Is little or no pros
pect of our success as things are going
now.
Captain Pratt, of the commission, has
gone to Washington to ask permission
to take delegation OF Sioux Chiefs into
the presence of the great father to dis
cuss the proposition. This indicates an
abandonment of the present plan oil
operations.

A Brule Sioux Indian Reminds his Own

Lower Brule Agency, OAK, Sept. 10
The Indians held several councils yes
terday. at which the friends OF either
faction were well represented, The bill
was thoroughly discussed on every point
more intelligently than has yet been
done. Among the speeches for the bill +,
the one delivered by Spotted Horse is
worthy of mention. spotted Horse is
member OF the police force and is one of
the shrewdest detectives in the north
west and deservedly very popular among
his people. After listening to speech
| which charged the government with
numerous violations of former treaty OBJ.
legations, Spotted Horse stated;
He had been having his eyes on the
| doinRs of the whites before in regard to
the Indians. Now, We have been
erumbling that the great father has not
| fulfilled former treaties. Well, now
suppose the government will sum up all
| the damage the Sioux Indians have done
since the adoption OF the treaty of 1898,
| Why, 1t would take oil that hes been
promised US to pay 1t up. Ali our per-
sonal property, yes and our heads, too,
would scarcely psy for the mischief we
have done. 1t makes me ashamed
to think of it. Why should
the government be SO kind to Us
What benefit are. we to them that they
shoald have fed and provided for as d.!
these years. Now look at il fair end
| square. They don't esk us to pay the
damage we have done; they don't even
mention it TO uR, but instead they come
to us with better bill than ever, offer
| ing to feed, give US horses, cattle, homes
and schools, If one of you had done
| the damage to nae that we have done to
the government, and I had property OF
yours in my hands, of course L would
hold it to make good the damage done
We have violated more of onr obliga
tions than the government has. and now
that the great father kindly extends his
hand and offers all these things we
should take it.
According TO present indications about
$50 of the 800 Indians here will oome
promptly forward and sign, and it is
likely 30 great percentage will have q
material effect apon great many more

Capt. Pratt has gone to Wisconsin

is that different policy will be pur.
