Special to THE MoRNGSG GALL


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The Post says
that Secretary Noble, in talking of the policy
10 be pursued with the Indians hereafter,
said that first of all they should he deprived
Of firearms. L lie intellect that could master
the mechanical intricacies of a Winchester
rifle was luite capable of nppreciating the
noble simplicity of a plow, and he proposed
to give the hostile Sioux an opportunity as
well as an incentive TO earn their own
living. Out of 244O0O Indians in the United
over two-thirls are earning their own liy-
ing The Secretary is decidedly in favor of
making these Indians, who depend on Gov
ernment bounty, work for their living just
as white people do. They should be treated
with perfect fairness aud justice, but work
should enter into any policy or scheme for
their civilization.
SURRENDER OF ARMS.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan. 1S.-More
guns were turned into Agent Pierce to-day
by the hostiles. Tney told him that a sys-
temauc search was being made in the tepees
and that all the weapons found would be
turned over. The custodian said to-day that
800 guns had been surrendered and at head
quarters. It is claimed that the arms turned
over exceed in number those received in any
other campaign.
Last night several shots were fred in the
hostile camp, but nobody was hurt. To-day
the Indians were gloomy aud sullen. Friend
lies Informed your correspondent that a
number Of Troublesome young men still
have bad hearts and cannot be converted.
General Miles is meeting with some oppo-
s!tion IN his plan Of segresating the several
Indian tribes. Notwithstanding the Chey-
ennes had started t. Tongue River, the tlibs
is still detained outside of the breast-works
awaiting commission from the Interior
Department to move. The General proposed
TO send back to their respective agencies all
the Indians not belonging to this place.
Another council was held to-day, but
nothing important transpired. General
Miles tonight issued congratulatory ad-
dress to the soldiers, with a review Of the
campaign. General Miles will probably
leave for the East early next week, and
General Brooke has resumed command OF
tile forces in the field.
