THE ELECTION PILL. The discussion of the election bill was then resumed. Mr. Higgins taking the floor. The pending measure went, he said, but slightly beyond the one now on the statute books. It did not in any way take the control of elections from the state authorities. The whole subject of elections was left by the pend- ing bill to the states, and all the declamation against it as to ite interfering with elections in the states was grouridiess and rested on nothing . bat bald majeropresentation.

In the House today Representative Blanch- ard of Louisiana offered for reference the pre- amble and resolutions setting forth thas “as the recent killing of the Indian chief, Sitting Bull, appears to have been accomplished under circumstances recognized neither by the laws of war or those of peace, That a committee consisting of five members of this House who are members-elect to the House of Representatives of the Fifty-second Cor to ‘be appointed by the Speaker of the present Hone, is directed to inguire into and investigate the killing of the said Indian chief, Sitting Bull, and the immediate cause leading thereto, and whether a state of war ex- isted which justified his summary taking off, and, if not, what justification, if any, there was for his violent death at the hands of the Indian police in the employ of the govern- t.

NOW SITTING BULL WAS KILLED. By this time the police were surrounded by Sitting Bull's followers, members of the ghost dance, and the first shot was fired by “Catch- the-Bear,” one of the hostiles, and the lieuten- ant of police, Bull Head, was struck. The fighting then became’ general; _ in fact, it was a hand-to-hand fight. Sit- ting was killed, shot through the body and head in’ the early part of the fight, by Bull Head and Red Tomahawk, each of whom shot athim. Four policemen were killed outright and three wounded, one of the latter dying at | the agency hospital this morning after his removal there. Bull Head, the lie tenant of police, is dangerously wounded, but may recover. The hostiles lost eight killed and several wounded, and were driven from the field by the police. They fled up Grand | river, leaving their wives and families and all their property and dead babind them. THE TROOPS. Two troops of United States cavalry—100 men—arrived on the ground immediately after | the fight, whieh had occupied les than half an hour, and took possession of the camp, its in- habitants, property and dead. The military did not pursue the fleeing hostiles and the latter will, no donbt, fall into the hands of some one of the commands moving at the | different points west or south of the reserva- | tion. The police returned about 3 o'clock this | afternoon accompanied by the cavalry detach- ment, having in charge the — remains of the four dead policemen and Si ting Bull, also two prisoners, “He Growler,” Sitting Bull's nephew, twenty-one | years old, and “Middle,” son of Little Assina- ine, twenty-one years wd. The dead pols men will be buried tomorrow at the age with military honors. Sitting - i's ergo are inthe possession of th» military at Fort Yates. | THE CASUALTIES.

THINKS SITTING BULLS DEATH A BENEFIT. “While this conflict,” says Agent McLaugh- lin. “cansing the loss of some of our best, noble and brave policemen, is to be very much regretted, yet the good accom: plished by the’ ending of Sitting Bull's career whose influence hasbeen of such a retarding nature and the determina- tion manifested by the police to maintain the will of the government, is most gratifying. Sitting Bull's arrest was undertaken in obedience to the following telegram from Gen. Rug r, dated St. Paul, December 12, 1890: To commanding ofticer,Fort Yates, N.D.: The ivision commander has directed’ that you it your special duty to secure the person of Sitting Bull. Call on Indian agent to co- operate and render such assistance as will best promote the purposes in view. HOW THE ORDERS WERE ISsvED. It appears that John M. Carignan, the teacher of the Grand River day-school, located near Sitting Bull's house, had kept Agent McLaughlin well informed as to the movements of Bull and his followers. At 3 o'clock in the morning of December 14 he went over to Bull Head’s house and the learned that Sit- ting Bull had written the agent for permission to go to Pine Ridge. He had received an ur- gent call from his friends there to join them, and that God was to uppear to them. “Bull Head” said that Sitting Bull had made up his mind to go with or without the agents permission, and he asked Carrignan to advise the’ authorities to arrest Bull at once. Upon this information, which was conveyed to the military headquarters, the orders for his arrest were issued.
