He said: “Whydo you want our lands? Have you notenough land for the white people ? Lookacross the river (pointing to the oppositeside of the Missouri). You will see a househere and there miles apart. Why do yourwhite people not take that land and let us alone ? You are not paying us enough for our land. Fifty cents an acre is not enough. Our land must be worth much to the white men, for when they first come here they are very poor and after they have been here some time they are (pointing to the commissioners and the governor) dressed very well. I will not sign either paper.” Grass maintained his reputation asA CUNNING SPEAKERand won applause from the Indians. Mad Bear spoke next. He opposed the treaty strongly. Among other things he said in reply to the statements of the commissioners: “I do not believe the great father’s heart will ne bad if we do not signand I will not sign.” This was pretty discouraging to the commissioners but they will not give up yet and will hold another conference to-morrow. Sitting Bull said this afternoon that he would not consent to the opening of the reservation, and the chiefs informed the commissioners of the action of the Indians in taking an oath to the Great Spirit that they would never sign. All interest centers inSITTING BULL,but he refuses to have much to say. He would not enter the circle to-day,.but during the conference sat outside on his pony with Rain-ln-the-Face, who also declined to become a part of the circle. Sitting Bull, Kain-in-the Face, LongiDog andCircling Bear are the most bitter of the Indians, and those who think they have no influence among their race are mistaken. It is worthy of consideration that within a few hours from the time of Sitting Buli’s arrival at the agency the oath to the Great Spirit was taken, and as Sitting Buli was the medicine man of the nation during the great Indian wars, this is known to beONE OF HIS TACTICSALGER lt;After an h General Harr forenoon, jui rival of his gi distinguished first time. .Aof the visitin*bands and a lt;rison and Linthe Harrison calling on Gorison pleasanto the crowd“What’s the icourse of his “1 composed ago ana Gene iiig them e reading his s gem of conce up my mind i made no ini not held any We are glad1 date—a man i can be found word can be; all Harrison:place he ha warm as tho borders [app patent upon of the Unit* before them, and prosperit tions are at always had wortn carini English govevSt. Paul, .of the men bipremature diPaul, died iother one, is ] liable to die have been tafrom a multi]is generally i shock.Sklni
