MONEY FOR INDIANS.
Provisions for the Payment of Money to
Red Men Agreed to.

Provisions for the Payment of Money to
Red Men Agreed to.
WASHINGTON. Special Telegram, July %.
If the Medawakenton band of Sioux
Indians the stragglers that located along
the Mississippi river, could have heard the
nice things said about them in the senate
to-day they would have swelled with
pride. When the provision in the bill to
pay them 5000 came up in the Indian bill,
Cockerell objected, or asked explanation.
Teller claimed that it ought to come out of
the Sioux funds.
dams had severed their tribal relations
that they had been the friends of the whites
during the Sioux massacre of 1862, and
since then had taken care Of themselves
with such support as they had received
from citizens of Minnesota.
There was a running discussion, ia which
the treaties the wars and the various &C.
tons of the Indians were gone over. Sem
ator Teller asserted that all the great West
had been Sioux country since 1892 There
was considerable fun made of Cockerell
when he undertook to read the Indian
names contained IN various treaties 1t was
shown, however, that in all treaties made
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. had never been paid
for the annuities they lost when. the Sioux
ere driven from the state. The provision
went through.
Another fight was made over the Chey-
ennes in Montana, over the proposition to
pay them $4,000. Cockere1l. of course,
raised the objection. Senator Power favor
ed the proposition and on motion of Nor
gan of Alabama the amount was raised to
$3.50
FOR THE CHIPPEWAs.
Among other amendm ents reported by
the committee on appropriations and
agreed to were the following:
Inserting an item OF $15O,OOO to pay the
Chippewa Indians OF Minnesota the award for
damages sustained by them on account OF the
building Of dams and reservoirs on Lake Win
nebagoshish, Cass lake and Leech lake. Insert
ing an item for 500, 900 for mills, agricultural
implements, ETC., and one OF 500, 900 for sur
veys. allotments, etc. for the Chippewa Indians
of Minnesota-bOth sums to be reimbursed from
the proceeds of the sales of Chippewa lands.
Another provision of some interest to
Minnesota, and particularly to the people
OF North Dakota, was bill which Senator
Casey Introduced, and which was passed
several months ago, providing for the re-
moyal. OF the Turtle Mountain Chippewas
to the White Earth reservation in Mime
sofa. When this bill was up tor consider.
alton before there was some discussion, and
it was then shown that the Indians had no
rights at Turtle Mountain. With hundreds
OF other bills it was hung up in the house,
but Mr.. Hansbrough had it inserted in the
Indian appropriation bill, and to-day it
was agreed to by the senate. There was
some apprehension that the Minnesota SEN
ators might offer some objection to the
provision, but now there is no doubt of the
bill becoming a law. It is asserted that all
Chippewas, whether at Turtle Mountain or
Mile Lacs should be gathered where the
agent can look after them
