MONEY FOR INDIANS.
Provisions for the Payment of Money
-. -.

Provisions for the Payment of Money to
Red Men Agreed to.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, July %.
If the MedaWak enton 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 $1,000 came up in the Indian bill,
Cockerell objected, or asked explanation.
Teller claimed that it ought to come out OF
the Sioux funds. rs
Senator Davis explained that these In
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. FIJI
There was a running discussion, IN which
the treaties, the wars and the various ac-
tions Of the Indians were gone over. SEN
ator Teller asserted that all the great West
had been Sioux ountry since 1882. There
was considerable fun made of Cockerell
when he undertook to read the Indian
names co ntained IN various treaties TWAS

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

Among other amendments reported by

implements, etc, and one OF 500 900 for sur

the proceeds OF the sales OF Chippewa lands.
Another provision Of some interest to
Minnesota, and particularly to the people
OF North Dakota, was a bill which Senator
Casey introduced, and which was passed
several months ago, providing for the re-
noval OF the Turtle Mountain Chippewas
to the White Earth reservation in Mime
sofa. When this bill was up for 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's no doubt of the
bill becoming law. It's asserted that all
ChippeWas, whether at Turtle Mountain or
Mile Mile Laos, should be gathered where the

was not unexpected, and, it is claimed, was
not the result of the present financial condi-
