Doctor Agnew told | Sheriff Daggett that he was not without hope by any means. The alarm outside the White | House is much greater than it is in. All the secretaries and attendants are hopeful that all is still well. MEDICAL TALK OUTSIDE. In medical circles outside the White House the opinion is sometimes expressed that it is the bullet which causes the irritating symptoms now manifested, and that after all the terrible suffering the President has undergone it will be necessary yet to remove it to ensure recovery. It is sald that so far asthe straight track of the wound is concerned it is, healing, and that granulation is nearly compléte—heyond, how- ever, near where the bullet is lodged there is believed to be an obstruction which does not fully discharge at the orifice of the wound, and cannot because the deflecting course the ball | took makes it impossible.

The | doctor replied in an exceedingly emphatic man- ner that there were no indications that the ball is the case there will be no DRT OF INDIAN AGENT COOK. ng additional report of the kiiling Rosesup, August 6. sterday I notified you of the death of Chief Spotted Tail. To-day I haye the honor to inform you of the capture of his murderer, Crow Dog and an accomplice named Black Crow, both head men of the Brule Sioux. For safety they have been sent under guard of police to Fort Niobrara, some 35 miles distant, where they will be kept closely confined until a deputy J. 8S. marshal arrives from Deadwood, they will be formally transferred to the ci thori of this territory to answer to the ‘ges against them. I stated in my letter of yesterday that the murder was the result of a long standing feud. While this is partially true, new evidence has been developed which throws a different light upon the affair. It seems to have been the object of along and weil natured plan to rid themselves of Spotted ail. The conspirators were few, but of desper- ate character, who had fully made up their minds that if the ef would not resign they would kill him. The ringlezder was “Black ” who now makes no secret of his intea- His ambition was to hold Spotted Tail’s could not be accomplished by y did not scruple to use the most | rdly means. Upon ascertaining | these facts I had “Black Crow” arrested an accessory to the murder and sent him to bear “Crow Dog” company. With their leader gone the disaffected ele- ment will rapidly disperse and no longer exist as an organization. In connection with the subject of a head chief over the entire peo- ple, I beg leave to offer the following sugges- tions, which I trust will receive your early con-, sideration. The position of head chief isa hin- drance to civilization. The main object of this personage Is to centralize all power in himself. ‘o do this he must strive to continue tribal re- ations; to prevent his people sattering ever the reservation for the purpose of taking up allot- ments of land. He must gather them in vil- lages where they can keep alive their barbarous customs, dances, ete. In short, to retain his hold as chief over the nation he must act in op- position to the measures adopted by the govern- ment for the ultimate civilization of Indians. The minor chiefs are already squabbling for the office, but I have informed them that the ap- pointment and recognition of so important a po- sition must come from the office of Indian affairs. I have, therefore. to recommend that no succes- sor to Spotted Tail be appointed: that his son, young Spotted Tail, be recognized as chief of his own immediate band, and that at any time a representative of the tribe shall be desired at Washington for conferring upén the interests of this people, he shall be chosen with special ref- erence to his intelligence and feyalty to the gov- ernment. Of this, the agentawmld be the es judge. ‘ If the office of Indian affairsishonld direct this, it will forever preclude the Ppesaibility of such an ; gecurrence as that of yesterday. Being of the cninion that this is necessary, it should be represented ats'the coming ‘con- ference with is H Secretary of the Interior, zappaitted 2 the Loafer Sioux to take bp : the delegation.
