Nez Perces Fugitives Reach British Territory Amid Mixed Reactions
Reports from Fort Walsh indicate about 60 Nez Perces crossed the line into British possessions where they were greeted by Sitting Bull. Major Walsh of the Mounted Police witnessed no protest as the group settled in, effectively naturalized into British Indian society. In other items, English neutrality on war contraband is noted, and the New York cigar makers strike expands to 12,000 workers with broad support. The Turkish-Russian War and Pleven siege updates conclude with conflicting reports on Osin Pasha’s condition.

Sioux council at Fort Walsh ends in insult to US Commissioners
The Sitting Bull led council at Fort Walsh ends with open contempt for US Commissioner efforts.

The piece blames Canadian policy for inviting Sioux back and warns Canada to control its wards or face American accountability.

Missouri River above Great Falls to be navigated by new steamers
Civil engineer Danlevy reports the Missouri above the Falls is navigable for light-draft steamers with depths near five feet and no major obstructions. A portage of about nine and a quarter miles is needed around the Falls, with a road to connect portage sites. A 125-ton steamer will be built to operate above the Falls and two 2-boat dratted steamers will run between the Falls and Bismarck, enabling freight from Bismarck to Helena region once water levels permit.

Direct Road to Virginia Passes Through Pipestone Route
Public spirited citizens push for a direct Pipestone Pass road from Butte to Virginia City and the Jefferson and Ruby valleys. Estimated $1500 covers necessary improvements to grade, widen routes, and ease freighting, tying Butte to Silver Star, Virginia City, Deer Lodge, and Missoula. A direct link would boost trade, farm produce flow, and regional travel, with Geo Brantley planning a triweekly stage line to connect to existing Overland and Virginia City lines.
