Secretary Noble Orders an Increase of
Rations to the Sioux. -.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The secretary of
the interior to-day directed that the Sioux
Indians be supplied with increased rations
sufficient to conform to the agreement made
in 1877. The appropriations for supplies
for the Sioux have deceased every year upon
the supposition that the Indians were be-
coming more and more capable OF main
tanning themselves. Owing, how
ever, to the partial failure of
crops for the last year or two
and restlessness of the Sioux, which is be-
ieved to be in measure due to the reduc-
ton of rations, the secretary has ordered
the increase The increase will amount to
between one-tourth and one-third of
the present supply. Acting Indian
Commissioner Belt to-day sent to
congress an urgent request that several ap-
preparations asked for during the last sesS<
sion to carry out agreements made with the
Sioux by the Sioux commission of which
Gen. Crook was chairman receive the
prompt attention of that body.
