Arrangements will also prob-bly be made to use the upper story of 'emperance hall as barracks for the mili-try.Mott’s Green will be an excellent loca-on for the encampment; centrally lo-ated, convenient to the street cars and ummy line, and in an attractive and eautiful part of the city.Mr. L. L. Alderman, of Iola, Fla., is pending a few days in the city, accom-anied by his family. Mr. Alderman is one f the honorary vice-presidents of the imposition company, aud is enthusiastic n the subject. Calnoun county will, in 11 probabilities, send us either a county r a club exhibit of Florida products, as Ir. Alderman recognizes the importance f west Florida being advertised amoneled all the brilliant maneuvers during the Custer campagin, for which Sitting Bull was given credit.He is unquestionably the finest living Indian orator, and his speech at this council is pronounced by the interpreters to be the most eloquent ever delivered on the reservation. Among other things, he said, in alluding to the arrival of the commissioners and the proposed new treaty: “These commissioners have to talk about our lands. Five of us have been chosen to speak. When wo confront them in council we must not speak fast; we must know what we want before we ask for it. We should listen to the whites and learn what they care to offer, and then we should, without foolish speaking, think what we are willing to give.“When I was at Fort Rice many years ago there was a treaty made with us. In this treaty the whites made great promises. They told us that we would have many cattle and that our horses would cover the plains. I returned in a few years and learned thac we were again deceived. They did not keep their word and we were as fools. When they made that treaty they told us that our lands went north to the river of the Cannon Ball. Now they tell as that it goes no further toward the great north light than the Cedar creek. Again we are deceived. When I the commissioners have come out they have made us big promises. They would not tell us what the Great Father said, but would talk to please the Indian heart.“We believed them, but we have lost much of our lands and our children have been hungry. In the past 1 have not com-lained. I believed the Great Father was onest and acted with a good heart, but unless this treaty with us is fair and we are told the truth my heart will not be good. We can not accept land apart ineauing|3everally). We want grazing lands. Our reservations have been growing smaller and smaller, aud soon we will be without a huutingground. They come, I hear, with two papers—one to take our lands aud one to keep them—they tell as we must sign one or the other and our names will be counted. This is the first time I ever knew that an Indian can be made to sign a paper against his will.”At the close of Gall’s speech the applause was savagely enthusiastic.After speeches by Running Antelope, High Bear and others, and the reading of the proposed treaty, which was printed in the dioux language, Mad Bear again addressed the circle and called upon all op-nnw'H to rriTnntr rnnsp.nt t.o thp. trp.atv t.o
