SITTING BULLS n!sr DAYS.

4 4 Chicago dispatch says: The story
/; OF the last visit paid by white man to
Sitting Bulls camp prior to the tragic
events Of to-day throws flood Of light
on tho old Chiefs willy character, and
strongly depicts the circumstances exist
ing in the isolated camp.
Agent Mclaughlin Gays: Sitting
Bulls camp is on the Grand river, forty
miles southwest from the agency. The
"ghost dance" was at its height. There
were about forty-ilye men, twenty-five
women, twenty-five boys and ten girls
participating. A majority OF the latter,
boys and girls, were until few weeks
ago pupils OF the day schools OF the
Grand river settlements. Next morning
I had long talk with Sitting Bull and
a number OF his followers. Ispoke very
plainly to them. Sitting Bull, while be.
/, ing very obstinate and at first INCLINED to
assume the roll OF big chief before bis
followers. finally admitted tho
truths Of my reasoning. He then
& stated his proposition, which was
that I should accompany him
on journey to trace FROM
this agency to each Of the other tribes
of Indians through which tho story Of
the indian Messiah, had been brought,
and when he reached the last
!tribe or where it originated, If
they could no. produce the man who
STATED the story and we did not ind the
sNnew Messiah as deseribed upon the
e.uth, together with the dead Indians
! returning 10 reinhabit this country, he
s would return convinced that they
!. {the 1ndiaSs) had been i'm.
posed upon. I told him that it was use.
Iese, but The TACT OF his making me the
proposition that ho did, was o conyinc.
ing proof that he diG not fully be:ieye
in what he was protesting and endeav.
oring SO hard TO make others believe"

4 ST.. PAUL, MIMI, Dec. 15.-The news
i OF the killing OF Sitting Bull has been
confirmed by advices received by Cen
eral Miles q. the military headquarters
in this city. He received two dispatches
this evening, the frs. from Pierre, S. D ,
stating that Sitting Bull and his son had
been killed, but giving no further par.
ticulars. The other dispatch was from
Standing Rock Agency and stated that
the Indian police started out this morn.
ing to arrest Sitting Bull, having under.
stood that hc proposed starting for the
Bad Lands ut once. The police were
followed by troop of cavalry, und er
Clptain Fouchet, and infa I!ry under
Colonel Drum. When the police reached
Sitting Bulls camp on the Grand river,
about forty miles from Standing Rock,
they found arrangements being made
for departure.
The cavalry had not yet reached the
camp when the police arrested Bull and
started back with him. His followers
quickly rallied to his rescue and tried 10
retake him. In the melee that. ensued
the willy old chief is Gaid to have been
killed and five OF the best Indian police
were aleo killed. One OF the police
jumped on one OF Sitting Bulls horscs
and rcde back to the cavalry and in
fantry, telling them to hurry up to the
support OF the police. and then hurrisd
on TO the Agency with news OF the bat
tie. Nothing later than this has yet
been received, but'the death Of Sitting
Bull aud Of at least five OF those who
had captured him aeems undoubtedly
true.

we're adopted by the last Congress, and which
gave to the majority the right conferred upon
them by the people. He declared the work of
the last Congress to be the best and greatest of
all preceding ones, as none other had dared to
throw down the gauntlet as they had done in
passing the tariff bill in the face of all impehd-
ing election. Mr.. Reeds Subsequent remarks
were devoted entirely to the Mckinley bill.

A Hard Winter Coming.

1t is going to be hard winter, says a dis
patch to the New York San. Horace johnson
Of Middle Haddam, Conn, who predicted the
great blizzard and has been on the top shelf in
the estimation of Connecticut people ever
since, says so. He bases his prediction on the
pEenomenally large hay crop and the hard,
thick shells Of crabs. He finds further verIf-
cation of the signs in the two-story muskrat
houses with base burners on the top floor and
coal i'll the cellar. Then he examines the corn
husks and finds ieecy sort of wool on the IN
side. A friend brought him squirrel the
other day and he says the fur is triple extra
thick and very fine. 'Coons are fatter than
usual, and this is a sign that they prepar-
ing for a long siege. Mr.. Johnson paid man
50 cents TO dig out woodchuck, and more
signs were found in the bottom OF the burrow
plush cloak hung on projecting stone, and
it has been Mr.. Johnson's experience that
woodchucks never purchase plush cloaks un-
