ST. PAUL, Dec.6.-A special from
Pine Ridge agency says several of
the hostile chiefs. accompanied by q
number If armed warrlors, came
into the agency this morning and
had . conference with General
Brooke. He told them to come
back 70 the agency and cease hoetiI-
lilies and they would get all the pro-
visions they wanted. They went
back to the camp TO report TO their
followers. making DO promises.
OMAHA, Dec. 6.-The Bee's Pine
Ridge special about the conference
between General Brooke and the
hostile chiefs says the latter were
Turning Bear, Big Turkey, High
Pine, Big Bad Horse and Bull Dog.
They were decorated with war
paint and feathers, as were also
their ponies. General Brooke ex-
planned to them that the great
father wanted - tell them IL they
would come in near the agency
where he and General Brooke could
see them often and not be compel
ed TO depend upon irresponsible
rumors to learn what they were
doing, he would give them plenty
to eat and employ many Of their
young men as scouts, etc. The
soldiers, he said, had not come to
fight them, but 70 protect the set
tiers and keep peace. As to failing
% locate the boundary line between
Pine Ridge and Rosebud, all such
differences would be satisfactorily
adjusted after the Indians had
shown . disposition 10 come in rs
requested by the great Father. He
suggested Wounded Knee rs .
place that woult lie satisfactory.
The Indian chiefs listened intent
lively, and Turning Bear then spoke
for them. The effrontery displayed
by the fellow was remarkable. He
said 1t would be q bad thing for the
Indians to come nearer the agency,
because there was no water or grass
for their horses. He could not I'M
derstand how their young men
could lie employed as scouts il there
were no enemy to be watched. They
might come in, but as the old men
and tquaws have no horses, thes
should have the Great Father TO
eend horses and wagons to the Bad
Lands and take all the beef and
other things they had there to the
camp that might be agreed on.
General Brooke said all these
things would be considered after
they had shown q disposition to
obey instructions. No reference
was made on either side 10 tbs dep.
relations the hoctiles had been COM
hitting on the Governments heards
as well as rettlers' homes.
After the pow-wow the chief
were fed, and, after the equaws at
the agency had performed a lance
for them, returned TO their camp.
WHAT JOHN DAYLIGHT HAS To SAY.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-rhe Tribune
prints . letter from Quapaw. Inaian
territory, signed by .Masse HadJo,"
known to the whites as "John Day
light," In which the writer vigor-
odciy uCkCo05 VIC hCSclAI t-ls.-.
He says thousands have never
taken kindly to the Christian re-
ligion as preached and adds. "The
code Of morals, as practised by the
white race, will not compare with
the morals Of the Indians. We pay
no lawyers or preachers, but we
have not one tenth part Of the crime
that you have. II our Messiah does
come we can force you into our be-
lief We will never burn innocent
women at the stake or pull men to
pieces with horses because they re-
fuse to join in our ghost dance.
"You white people had Messiah,
and IL history is TO be believed
nearly every nation has had one.
You had twelve apostles; We have
only eleven, and some of these are
in the military guard-house.
We also had q Virgin Mary and
she is In the guard-house. You are
anxious to get hold Of our Messiah,
% you can put him in irons. This
you may do in fact you may
cruelty him, as you did that other |
one, but you cannot convert the
Indians to the Christian religion IN. |
Iii you contaminate them with the |
blood Of the white man."
