C,, Aug. 22.—The Secretary ofthe Interior having been. interviewed upon the subject ‘of the Poncaa Indians, exprosscd himself a8 followat ‘There has beon so much criticism upon the treatment of the Poncas by the Government that I deem ft proper to give a clear statement of tho fucts, which will show that the wrong done to that Tudian tribo was frankly acknowl- edged in my first annual report, as well as tho report of the Commissioner of indian Affaire, and that In the meantime everthing bas beeo dono to Indemoutfy them for their losses and to make thelr situation as comfortable as possible. ‘the followtug facts aro taken from the offictal records: _By tho treatles of 1817, 1820, nnd 1853, a tract of 96,000 acréa in Southeastern Dakota was so- cured to the Poncas. By the treaty of 1803 be- tween the Untted States and the Sloux this tract was ceded to the Bloux, irrespective of the rights held thereinby tho Poneas, both by treaty and occupancy. This treaty having been ratl- fied in the usual jay, became, of course, the law of the land. The Poneas, howeyer, continued to occupy the ceded tract; but they were so harassed by ‘ RAIDS FROM ‘TIM B10UX (vetween whom and thumeclves 8 feud jad. long’. existed) that the pres- encs of troops was frequently required for thelr protection from such fncursfous, and they petitioned tho Government several times to remove them to to Omaha Reservation, where they might live in safety. In 1876 on agreement was made with the Sloux “Indians bya commission, of which tha Hon, George W. Mannypenny and Bishop Hl, B. Whipple wera members on the part of the United States. Itwas agreed, that the Sioux Indians “shoutd hereafter recotve a}! anunitics provided by the sald treaty of 1888, and all sub- mstence and supplies which. may be provided for,them under the present or any future act of Coneress, at auch polnts and places on the said reservation os the President of the United States shall designate.” At that time the Sioux were located at Camps Robinson aya Sheridan, in Nebraska. In pursuance of this agreement of 1876, Con- gress, by act of March 8, 1817, provided for THE REMOVAL OF THE S10UX to the Missourl'River, and the removal of the oneas to the Indian Territory. The Indian ‘Appropriation act for the previous year had niso made appropriations for rémoving the Pon- cas thither. . ; As the fulttative stap, Inspector Kembla vis- fted the Poncas in January, 1877, with instruc tlohs to'chdenyor to obtain their cobscnt to a settloment among the Osares, and to proposo ‘that they sent’a delegation to the Indian ‘Terrl- tary tomake the solection. They at frst ob- jected to any remoyal, but finally agrocd to end a delegation to examine the country. They ero informed that the expense of sending delegation could’ vot bo incurred until hey had first consented toa surrender of thetr akota lands. Buch consent was given’ by tho ‘oncas In formal council on 27, with the understanding that, after the return of the delc- gation, final negotiations were to ba completed in Washington. Unfortunately, on account.of thelr fphospitable reception by the Osaes (oc- eationed by the absance of thé Qsaze Agont ‘with the principal Chicfa), the poor uccomnmo- dations provided during their stay there, and the undub prolongation of thelr visit by bad weather, the delecation of Chicts BECAME DISHEARTEND at the outsct, declined the friendly advances of tho Kawa, refused to look further, searcely no- {iced tho rich lnnda which were pointed out slong the Arkansas river, and, on reaching Ar- kansas City, olght Ohlefa left in the nleht for home, on foot, and, forty days tater, réached tho Ponca Agener. The other two, with the Inspector, Agcnt ‘Lawrence, and the tnterproter who lad accom- panied the delegations salected the northeast- ern part of the Quapaw Roservation. On thelr return to the Aceney, after further negotiations, 170 Poncas on tho 1th of April started with Inspector Komble .for the Indlan Territory. Among them were two of the three Chieta, then Hving, who éizned the tresties of 1817 and 1820. - Many Others who had slenifled nwillingness to go were afrald at the last mo- ment because of the threats of the other party. ‘The feudaund jeatousles which had always oxlst- ed hotween the various bands of this tribe wero 60 hightened by this difference of opinion on the subject of removal that a force of forty-flye soldiers was sent from Fort Randall, not to compel removal, but to protect those whe wore Yepartng to etart from the threatened violence of tho opposition, Mach suffering was canacd by storing and floods, which prevailed during tho Whole Journey to the Torritory.

ROMETHING PHOMISED. Apectal IMepated to TAs Tridune. Wasntnatox, D, C., Aug. 23.—The Bureau of Statistics has now in coarse of preoaration a “Statlstionl Abstract of the United States,” which promises to be, when completed, one of the most interosting documents published by the Government. It will consist of about 150 pages, and will embrace tables In regard to finance, cofnage, commerce, tmmlgration, ton- nace. navigation, postal service, ratlroads, agri- culture, and mining. The tables upon each atibjoct will be placed upon a alnele page In com- parative form, and will extend back for at least ten years, so that at a single glance the eve can fallow the comparative increase or de- creaso for exports, imports, or other statistics for the period of the comparison, It will bo a flecided improvement on the old form of xb- stract heretofore published, inasmuch as the latter only furnished comparisons for two or three years. ‘The new pnblication will bs more after the style of the Britian atatiatical reports. One of the most advantngcour features of the naw abstract will be the manner in which the exports and Imports of gold und ailver will be separately tabulated. The old system In- eluded ‘tliese items under the bead of merchandise. —s system not 60 ensily un- derstood, According to the direction of Secretary Sherman, the now abstract will contaln moro statiatics relating to finance than Tver, but hie 18a man of morose disposition, and he was sullen and indolent aman his fel- lows atter their final removal, and about the thine the spring work began at the Agency ho ran atvay to the north, From these facts {t will appear that, when the present Adminiatration came fp, the removal of the Poneas had been determined unon and had actually peen Initiated, smi that the action of Coneress and the policy of the previous Admlin- {stration was simply carried out. It haa been end that the present Commissioner of Indian Aifatra a3 carly as 1870 instigated the removal of this tribe, Flow nrenostcrous this Is will appear from the fact that bo came into office late in the fall of 1977, It seemato have been a favorite fica under the arlniinistration of President Grant to remove as many of the Indian tribes as jasslbte into the Indian Territory. While this iden with reeard to the southeri Indians was undoubtedly cor- rect, it. was not correct with regard to the north- ern tribes. The present Administration when it came into power could do nothing but carry out lowe previoualy enacted. So it did with regard tothe Poncas. It did all that was in its power to remedy the wrong dono, aud to put them upon thie road to comfort uni prosperity. ‘thera have been in the peers some statemonte with regard to that tribe, which, in tho face of exist- ing facts, _ APPEAR POSITIVELY LUDICROUS. Wo have read of White Eagle, the Chfof of the Poncas, who had beon on his oll reserva- tlon, a civilized landhalder, and who wus wear- Ing gentlemen's clothes aud was cullivating the soll like other elvilized farmers. ° Here In this office you can sce bis portrait. taker when ho was hore—a regular “blanket Indian ’—wwith all his Indian finery upon hia body and his toma- hawk In bis hand. Whilo the Poncas always have been very good Andiaus, they woro very far removed from a cly- flized condition, 1 has been eald that upon their old reservation they wore supporting: themsclves by thelr own agricultural labor. ‘The fact ts, that they were ‘rationed Indians,” regularly fod by the Government. They are gradually approaching clyllized coniition now, and are certalniy nearer to it at present than they bave crer been before. To charga the prevent Administration with the removal of the Ponces, theréfore, is absurd. ‘What. the preacnt Admiulatratlon fs responsible for {s the efforts thut have been and are being made for their welfare since; and the result of those efforts appears from a report which I re- celved only a few days ago from Col, Meacham, a life-long friend of the Indians, who visited tho Ponca Reservation a few weeks since, THB RAPORT. .

A CORNET-PLAYER IN A RAGE. Atan examination of Levy, the cornet-player, held in New York the other day, with refereuce to his estate and earnings, instituted by one of his creditors, there was a funny scene. His counscl was Mr. Barrett, and’the creditor's was Mr. Cooney. ‘The examination was beforo o Referee, ‘The Now York Times says: On boing asked Mf he knaw Arthur Chappel, of Kond street, London, Levy objected to an- swering, but, under the Referce's direction, he sald ho knew bin. “Are you acquatnted with the fsinily of ong Scots, a pork-buteher in Lon- dont” asked Cooney. Levy objected again, nid almost climbed up on file councel’s aliout- ders while he whispered in his cnr. As he re- suined his scat he thumped his fist on his knee, and said to his lawyer: “Tt won't answer ft: vou ean do just as you please; d—d if 1 will.” Mr, Barrott told Mr, Coonoy that this was not only not professional, but was contemptible and incan, and was ou attempt to disyraco his cellent. Along and angry discussion as to the relevancy of the question was ended by the Referee naking Mr, Cooney to state what he in- tended to prove, This was. the stenal fora fresh ontburet, and Levy rocked in bis chair fn tury, “£ offer to show,” sald Cooncy, “that Mr. Levy has scent a portion of la earniuge hoine through Mr. Chany that Mr, Levy married 2 daughter of Scott; Uiat. ehe fs now his wife; and that this lady whom be bas slice inarried hero fs not. entitled to.any part of his earnings or te support by nim.” “Levy Juinped from hie newt and elitabed lalf way over the table toward Cooney, livia with rage, and, in a voice that could “bo heard fn the street below roared, OLfarl Lier!

F. Hl. Winston Protests Energetically 80 Par as the North Side Is Concerned, ‘The Finance Committeo had a tengthy session yesterday afternoon, and among other things considered was the Mayor's recommendation to establish bathing-houses for the multitude at the acyeral pumpiny-works. The Mayor was preacnt with o ground drawing of what he wanted, and, much to his surprise, F. H. Winstun dropped in to oppuse tho whole scheme. As noon as the matter had been opened up MR. WINSTON READ A LENOTHT LETTER ho bad prepared as a remonstrance, of which the following ia the text: Citicano, Aug. 23.—7o the Hon. 4. @. Chairman of the Finance Commitice—; P, citizen and taxpayer of twanty-nix veata’ standing, 1 tlenlre to enter my protest acalnst the adoption of the order for the erection of a batling-howee on the Water-Worka gronnds on the North Site, as ‘the samo hag been proporcd and naked for by the Mayor, and in now pending before your Commit- tee, Atfiratalght of the communication in the papers I suopored it was intended as a huge joke, or pecbaps s cheap bid for popularity, sa.com- mon nowadays in tha city. Subsequent In- vestigation haa convincea me that the acheme has been well developed, anil embraces the appro- printion of tho city's ground« and water by the erection of a bathing-house by the company which haa been organized and which’ now owna the Natn- forum and tho awimming-scliools on the South and Went Sidon, and whlch prapnees to coueolidate with thone to be erected onthe city’s grounds, It Jo not proposed to make theee hathing-hourcs free, R mall chasge into bo made--five or ten centa—for the use of the common tank by the poor, and better quarters aro to he provided for the wealthy and distinguished, who are etpected to pay literally, The inatitution Is cx pected to pay largely. At the preaent intention of Acharge of 25 centa per head, §t should pay from 15 10.20 per cent per annum on the cepital invert- ed.

THE MAYOR pationtly to the reading ant somo comments which followed, and was considerably ruilted thereat. He replicd angrily, and insisted that he had been prompted in his recommendation by a desire to beneflt the poor,— “the artisan, mecnanic, and Jaborer.” He hootad at the idea of creating a bathing monopoly, and sald he was entirely alncere, and that he had no foten- tlon of giving the proposed riclts to Mr. Kadish, or ang other Individual, but 6lmpiy of estavlish- ing pathing-louses for the people. Mr. Winston insisted that Mr. Kadish had assured him that the project had been well- matured, and that he (Kadish) was to become the public waeher, He had talked the whole question over with him and the plans and pure noses had been detaited to him, and further than this, the project was not what It seemed to be, or what the Mayor would bare St to appenr. It was not to hate “free” bathing-houses—the city to donate the ground und water.—but one at which a small price should be charged, which was to be graduated according to the purag of the bather and theaccomnodations received. 1t was ontragcous, and WHEN HE VOTED POR MR. HARRISON no never aunposed that he would meet him lob- bying againgt the interests of vroperty-holuers as ayor of the entire city,” and trvlue to use city property to the dainage of hinsctf ant others for. tho beneflt of Mr. Kadish, or avy other Individual. The Mayor responded, cesticulating yigorous- ty, te dented that the move wus in the interest of Kadlsh, or any one else, and wanted Mr. Winston to understand that what-he sald he ment. Mr. Winston came ta the front again, amd re- iterated what ho bad said and what Kadish had told him. The Mayor flred unin response, The blood rushed to tls fave, and he ineisted that tls plane carried out would not create a nuisance, cic. Mr. Winston stuck to his position, at eu- ceated that, if it was proposed to cive Kadlsty water without cost, it might be well to donate tt for his present establishments, Iie thought if the city gave him the water, ho would reduce the price of bathing at the plaves ho hud, and netter accommodate the poor people, without damaging Individual rights. The Mayor made no responre to this further than to say that it free fhathing-houscs would affect the value of tho adjacent property, the Committee should be crreful whint tt did dn the matter, and he retired from the room, followed by s look from Mr. Winston, who was de- termined, apparently, that the fact that he has ne lore for his Honor should not be lost stghtof. ‘As soon os the Mayor had left MB. WINSTON ADDRESSED THE COMMITTEE firmly and politely, insisting that the Coancil had no right in law to divert the city's property for any such purpose, and, furthermore, that roperty-owners Jn bi vicinity were averse to the move. He did not cure what they did on the Weat Side, but be would nover, consent to the establishing of a nulsancoof the kind on the North Side. ‘Che Council might donate water to Kadish, and ground, too, for that mat- ter, but not at his expense. He would not stand ft, and if elven time he would present a remon- strance alened by overy person owning property in proxhaity to the Water-Works. Ald. Throop sald there was no especial caus for haste in tha tnatter, and suggentod that whatever Mr, Wlaston inight deatro to present {uthe shave of a remonstranco be lald before the Council, as tho Comnilttes could not take cognizance ot anything which did not come through the proper channel. Mr. Winston said he was proesed for thine, amd wanted to yo out of town fora couplo of weeks.
