when you can live by bunting, aud now
you can ONLY live MS the white man does
by tilline the soil. The Great Father
wishes that your SONS shall be taught
bow to farm and become mechanics, and
your daughters shall become your school
teachers, and that the money which is
now paid to the white men shall be pnid
to your own people, and that you shall
become citizens as the white men. He
has sent us to YOU to tell Of this bill, and
We can neither add to it nor take any,
thing"
He explained how the proposed reser-
vat:on for this agency exceeded in size
that in last years bill, and on that point
alone there was enough land to give ev-
cry man. woman and child l22 acres, and
that in the whole reservation there would
be $50 acres for each Indian, young and
old. In this bill it is provided that you
may take your land in severalty and have
patent" He explained the provisions
with reference to allotments, and as to
the assistance the Government would
give in starting them in the new path;
visions, and the permanent fund created,
and how the interest is to be expended.
Major Warner concluded by asking each
one not TO be influenced by prejudice, by
anger, OR tiat.ery. but urged each one to
think and act for himself. At the con-
clusion Of his speech the council broke up.
Throughout the council the Indians lis
tened with close attention and were evil

which the act of Congress was explained
by the Commissioners. 1t is probable
that they will expect several days in
which to talk with each other before they
will take any decided action.

the treaty, said: Il want to be white
man and work like white man, as my
Great Father asks me to. 1 want. when
work, to get good pay for it, and to learn
to be blacksmith, carpenter, and SO
forth. When I was in Washington the
Great Father took me around and was a
friend to me. He promised me many
things, but we did not get them. Why
did they lie to us? Some white men come
here and are good to us and are our
friends. We are glad when such men
come here and are their friends. l shake
hands with you with good heart. You
learn to work and know how to make q
living. We want the Indians and half
bloods to be employed at the agency,
then the money will stay here and not go
east, like now, when the white men do
the work.
From Rosebud the Commissioners went
TO Pine Ridge Agency and held council
with the Indians. All the principal
chiefs and many of their bands. as we'll
as the representative men of mixed blood,
were present. Agent a. D. Gallagher
was chosen by the Indians to act as in
terpreter.
sion, then addressed the Indians. He
said: "My friends, we greet you by that
name and believe you meet us in that
you with an act of Congress for your ac-
ceptance or rejection We are here to
explain it to you fully, and any word we
say or you say will be taken down and car
ried to the Great Father-your questions
and our answers-and if we talk wrong,
then the Great Father will know it and
all that We do will go for nothing. One
of our number is known among the In
dams as q man who never deceived them.
We expect you to find that We will do the
same way. You must know that you can
not now live as your fathers did. The
Great Father and his council have for
long time been studying what it was
best to do for you, and last year sent
commission to you with a bill which you
rejected. Then he sent for your head
men and talked with them at Washing
ton and now this commission presents
to YOU bill which is practically
what YOUR head men said they
would be willing to agree to.

future than it is now. He here exhibited
a large map of the Sioux Reservation.

friends among the white men believe this
bill is a good one for you.

At the close of the council simultane
Gus rush was made by large number Of
mounted Indians, who surrounded the
council grounds, the meaning of which
transpired afterward. The Indians had
appointed large number of soldiers be-
fore the council met, and said the rush
was made to prevent any Indians from
speaking in favor of the bill after the
Commissioners had finished their talk.
unfriendly feeling toward the bill, and
added to the difficulty to be overcome by
the Commissioners.
The following day another council was
held at which Old Man Afraid Of His
Horses, Red Cloud, Little Wound, Blue
Horse, Young Man-Afraid-of-H His Horses,
and other chiefs spoke. Their talk was
rehearsal of their individual views as
to the promises of the treaty of 1868,
which have not been fulfilled They
spoke at length with the evident intent
of using up time aud preventing an i'm
mediate decision.
When they finished, Maj. Warner ex-
planned the provisions of that treaty.
Gen. Crook then talked to them much in
the same way as at Rosebud, and in addi-
ton explained the part of the bill in ref
erence to paying Red Cloud for his
ponies, and told them to be careful of
any men who wanted to get any of this
money; that advice from such men was
not worth much; that while he thought
it was for the interest of all of them that
the bill should be accepted, still the Com
missioners wanted them to do as each
thought best. He concluded by saying
that the bill was ready for signatures.
No Flesh was the first to touch the
pen. About forty signed in twenty min
utes, when further action was deferred for
the day.
Obstinate Chiefs.
A dispatch of Thursday, June 20, from
Pine Ridge Agency, states that Gov.
Foster opened the council on Wednesday
by inviting any Indians desiring informa-
ton to speak. After counseling among
themselves for some time Old-Man-Af
Of His Horses, now over 80 years old,
arose and said that the paper in his hand
was given him at the time of the treaty
of 1868, in Fort Laramie. 1T means"
he said, "that after cultivating the ground
of eight generations we were to become
self-supporting. There are twenty-one
years more due on that treaty and there
is no use in going ahead of the time. 1t
seems to me you are in a great hurry to
start new treaty now while there is SO
much time before the old treaty expires"
Red Cloud was the next speaker. Il
have" he said, the sameesugar paper,
but here is a map of my reservation which
Spotted Tail and I made that treaty Of
1868, nineteen years ago. By that treaty
| we were to receive cattle and horses and
sheep and farming implements until the
treaty runs out. Since that time we have
made another treaty to give the Great
Father, and we have pay for seven gen.
erations. Now, my friends, the Great
Father hasn't paid the things prom
Used US, but wants us to give
more land before we are paid for
what is due us now. Gen. Crook is mere,

be signatures of three-fourths of all the
bdians of the tribe will be necessary to
Pnsummate the contract and open this
ast area, which will afford homes to TO-
% settlers, giving them l60 acres apiece.
lere is little doubt that the negotiations
Pill be successful, and it is expected that
pine time in August the President will
sue his proclamation throwing down the
ats which now keep home seekers out of
lis coveted territory.
The first council with the Indians was
(eld at Rosebud Agency. Some of the
|llets were stubborn. or pretended to be
at the start, but through the influence
ersely of Gen. Crook sufficient number
them were induced to atTx their sigma
Tres to the treaty to insure its ratitica-
ION. Gen. Crooks well-known prohity
(ad wonderfully good influence with the
ldlans. They know him we'll as their
Fiend, and when told by him that this
Eas good bill they had faith in his as
eftlons. One Indian, a spokesman OF
ne ogallalas, came in from his band to
nfosm the General that his band would
ign IT he would assure them of his
Crook's) approval of the bill, and this
put one example Of what he has done
With all the bands. Of active personal
contact with the Indians Gov. Foster
ND Maj Warner had none except in
general council. While as enthusiastic
na as earnest in the work, they were
uangers to the Indians customs, and
sefe looked upon with, more suspicion
nan one whom they know as they know
zen. Crook, who has been their good
Tend in the past. The confidence which
a Indians have in Gen. Crooks entire
lslnterestedness made him the speaker
OF the commission. The General made
speech to the Indians in which he ex-
'tessed his SORROW that they should treat
l hi SO badly when they knew he was
al friend. He referred to the time
| S; he was in charge of the entire
