CHIEFS AT THE CAPITAL.
Sixty-One Prominent Sioux at the
Interior Depart

The Sixty-one chiefs and Sub-chiefs from
the great Sioux reservation in Dakota, COM
posing the delegations from the several
tribes of the Sioux nation, which have come
to Washington to confer with the President
and the Secretary of the Interior, and to
present their objections to the law recently
passed by Congress for the REIMBURSEMENT
of II ,000,0 600 acres of the reservation, were
escorted to the Interior Department at 10
agents. All the chiefs, we'll as
the Interpreters, wore civilized dress,
with the exception of moccaslns, but each
wore conspicuously earrings, ornaments, or
trinkets of some kind peculiar to their race.
Rarely has SO notably a delegation of In
dams appeared in Washington. Prominent
among them were Sitting Bull, who made
the medicine for the Custer massacre; Gall,
who commanded the Indians in that fight;
John Grass, said to be the most intelligent
Indian in the whole Sioux nation, and sew
eral others of prominence among their peo-
pie. Assistant Secretary Muldrow, the
members of the Sioux Commission, Indian
Commissioner Oberly, r. Y. Belt, Chief of
the Indian Division of the Secretarys Office;
Mr.. Peel, Chairman of the House Indian
Committee and Delegate Clifford of Da-
kota occupied seats near the Secretary.

land. a member of the Sioux Commission,
offered prayer in the Sioux language, ask
ing for the presence and guidance of the
Great Spirit in the council. The Indian
stood with bowed heads during the prayer,
and at its close Secretary Villas addressed
them. He explained in details the methods
which he had adopted to secure a faithful
and honest and free expression of their
wishes with respect to the law. He said that
the Commission had been instructed to fully
and with absolute faithfulness interpret to
them the provisions of the act. Every Indian
over Is years of age had been furnished with
a copy of the act, that he might have it
interpreted for himself if he doubted the Off
cial Interpretation. The Secretary said that
the chiefs before him had been selected to
come to Washington and lay before him and
the President their objections to the act. He
would gladly hear their objections and would
give them every opportunity toexplain fully
their wishes in the matter.
Several of the Chiefs responded through
an interpre: err, saying they were too tired
after their long journey to talk, and at their
request the council was postponed for a cou-
tple of days.
