SIOUX COMING ROUND.
They Will POw-WOw at Lower
Brule.
Special to the Globe

Special 10 the Globe
CHAMBERLAIN, Oak, Sept. 1.-THE
great pOw-wOw of all the leading chiefs
of the Sioux nation will be held at
Lower Brule, Saturday. The matter of
accepting or rejecting the Sioux bill
will at that time be definitely deter
mined upon, and upon this conference
hangs the success or failure of the Sioux
commission. 1t was owing to this pow
WOW that the commissioners concluded
to remain at Lower Brule week longer.
That the pOw-wow is to be held at
Lower Brule looks favorable, as chiefs
of Importance and strength at the
agency are heartily in favor of the bill,
and they will be heard at this pow-wow
in no uncertain terms. That the In
dians are earnestly considering the
Sioux bill is also proven by the contem-
plated conference, and the feeling to
listen to nothing that the commissioners
encountered at the outset is rapidly dis
appearing. The outcome of this great
pOw-wow will be awaited with great
anxiety by all who are interested in the
great Sioux reservations.
TWO POWERFUL CHIEFS UNITED.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, OAK, Sept. 17.-An In
has been at the Cheyenne agency brings
discouraging news regarding the
prospect for securing signatures at that
agency. The hope of those who have
been studying the situation was that the
enmity which for years has existed be-
tween Red Cloud and Young Man
Observation-Disclosures would keep the
latter from supporting the former in his
opposition to the treaty. 1t has been
well known that Red Cloud ha. been
working StrenuOusly against the treaty,
but the hatred which Young-Man-
Afraid-of-HiS-Horse had for him was
depended upon to keep them apart. As
the chief with the long name is one of
the most popular leaders among the
tribes, there was hope that he would
induce large number of the Indians to
favor the treaty, not because he was sim
cerely in favor of the treaty. but because
he would do anything to prevent his old
opponent from scoring a victory; but
this hope has fled. The Indian states
that Red Cloud and Young. Man Afraid
of-IIiS-E Horses have been friends for
some time, having been brought to-
gether by Col. Bannester, special Indian
inspector, who held a conference with
the Indians last fall. During the con-
ference Col. Bannester made a speech,
in which he stated that he regretted to
see that these two great chiefs were en-
emies and refused TO be friends. He
made an eloquent plea for friendship
among the Indians and said that moth
ing would please him more than to see
Red Cloud and Young
Ilis-Horses" shake hands before their
people and forget the differences
of the past. Much to the surprise
of the Indians who knew of
the bitter enmity between the
chiefs, they rose simultaneously and
stepping into the circle clasped hands
and Swore friendship. 1t was an im-
pressive scene and will not soon be for
gotten by those who were present.
Since that time these two powerful
chiefs have been working in harmony,
and both are said to have been doing
their utmost TO defeat the treaty for the
opening of the reservation. 1t is hoped
by the whites that the old jealousy be-
tween these chiefs may be revived dur
ing the conferences so that the opposi-
tiOn TO the treaty may be divided and
broken. The commissioners, who have
been meeting with success at Crow
Creek and Lower Brule, will visit Chey-
enne and have their tilt with Red Cloud
before returning to Standing Rock.
