DEPARTURE OF THE WASHINGTON DELEGATION. First to become organized was the Wushing- ton delegation, in charge of Special Agent Lewis. The Indians in this crowd were Young- Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses, Big Road, He-Dog, Little Wound, Fire Thunder, Ameri Strikes, High Hawk and High Pipe and Hump and ed Elk, Minnecongues, from Cheyenne river. With these were the in- terpreters. Baptiste Pourier (better known bere as “Big Bat”) and Louis Shangrau. The Rev. Charles Cook, the Episcopal clergyman here. will also go as an interpreter. The Wash- m outtit squatted down near the agen ice and had a good smokeamong themselves, saying but little wo any one. BRAVES WHO WENT To CHICAGO. The Chicago party was, perhaps, less distin- guished, but very much more interesting. It was composed largely of young Brule and | Ogallala bucks. who were especially active in the strife which has just come to an end. They were hand-painted in the highest style of the artand while every mother’s son of them was inwardly delighted at the prospect of a holiday | excursion, jots to eat and an insight into the views of @ big city, they unanimously mani- {ested the most supreme indifference to all the LISTENING TO THE BAXD. ratorY proceedings.

Gen. Miles was xpparently everywhere. He saw that the tourist Indians—paint, gay moces- were properly assigned to seats on the hay in the waiting wagons and just at 11 o'clock gave the word to go. There was a little more of the handshaking among Indiane and whites (th Indians borrowed the handshake from their it), a grand fare- well chorus of squaws—fortissimo—and the cavalcade was en route for Rushville and civ- ilization. TRANSFERRED TO WASHINGTON. ‘The seat of the Indian trouble seems to have been suddenly transferred to Washington (some people believe it has been there all the time) and instead of the combatants being Sioux and soldiers it ix the War and Interior De- partments that seom to be tearing each other's eyes and in a politely official way clutching each ae THE EPIScoPaL cHUncH. other'sthronts. ‘Those people who wee things— even as throngh a glass,dat y—are watel strife with much inte of the combatants will get in the next blow. As soon as the hoxtile chiefs had agreed to ur- render their right to camp anywhere except where Gen. Miles should designate—for that y did surrender—it was believed Miles that a number of, the representa- malcontents should be titken to Washi ton, where they might talk with the Grent Father of the grievances they have detailed at length in the columns of Tue Star. The con- seut of the authorities in Washington was asked and obtained. THE INTERIOR DEPARTMEXT STEPS IX. Miles then proceeded to select the Indians “ | who should go and was about to send them eastward when information was received to the effect that a special agent of the Interior De- partment would be on at once to take charge of e chiefs and act as their chaperon to the national capital. Thus news was what might be regarded as in the nature of a “set-back” for the general, for the whole matter had viously been conducted by the War Depart- ment. From thence the proposition originally emanated, and it was advanced with the idea at it would assist materially in bridging over the period of transition between war and peace. An officer of the ninth cavalry—Lieut. Chas. Tavior—had been notified that he might be required to take charge of the expedition, and the preliminary arrangements were well under way when Secretary Noble kicked the props PONY LADEN WITH 350 POUNDS OF BFEF. from under and bronght the half-built strac- ture to the ground. ‘The idea and its pri organization and the credit which may attac to it belong entirely to Gen. Miles, but Secre- tary Noble seems to have been quite successful in securing possession of the War Department thander. Miles does not say mach about it. butL know he thinks some one has committed grand ceny. for some time that the Interior Department was gpposed to any of these Indiaus journeying to ashington until Secretary Noble saw they were bound to come. then he accepted the sit- uation and all the side dishes that go with it. GEN. MILES’ MOVE. It is now Gen. Miles’ turn to move and he has started. The Interior Department may have its delegation of Indians, but that aggre- gation of copper-skinned humanity is very tame indeed when compared with the band of hostiles which Gen. Miles took with him to Chicago today on the same train as that which bore Special Agent Lewis of the Indian bureau and his following. While the general will not say a word as to what he intends doing with the Brules who accompanied him, it is pretty certain that in the fullness of time they too will journey to the national capital and have talks With the Great Father. It is checkmate. ARMY OFFICERS ON THE PLAINS. People who have seen thearmy officer only {when he has adorned presidential receptions | with his glittering full dress uniform or at such seasons as called him forth to parade with his command would never recognize him as he is in the field. Asa leader of the german, clad in evening dress, he is, as a rule, most graceful, but when he gets into the clothing which a South Dakota climate calls for he is another individual. More tha few of the A WOMAN CORRESPONDENT. who have been lerge figures in social Washing- top either are or have been here during the course of the Sioux trouble and it is with dif- ficulty that some of them have been recognized. ‘The first thing most of them did when they got away from the railroad was to bid udieu to the barber, and by this uetion the countenances of uumber became transformed very mate- nally, The next motion,and it was carried almost unanimously, was to get out of their reputable uniforms and into the i ry or three. Those who were lucky enough to be the poweasors of buckskin shirts prt them on, and those who were less fortunate tried their best to get some.

Warm weather brought oyt a number of caps, but they have never become popular. Two or three officers, principally of the division staff, have started the scheme of wearing what are generally believed to be buckskin undershirts outside of their vests. The effect has init a make it pop- time departed for climes waere it is not regarded as unreasonable to have your boots blacked once a week; where clean clothing is really neces- sary; where barbers are neither few nor far between, and where 2 man wRo occasiounlly takes a’ bath is not looked upon ase hydro- pathic monomanine. Ht would have been « good for some of those people who are always shouting about “West Px Indes” had they seen the workaday manners and customs of army officers. Any kind of food was enough, any brand of whisky was sat , any clothing, so long as it was warm, would do. Neither dirt nor discomfort was avoided when either of those two evils became necessary. Yet these men be “society's scented darlings. ‘TOLD TO MOVE ON. Capt. Francis E.

MTLES AND HIS BooM. If Gen. Miles is still the possessor of a presi- dential “boom” it must be evident to any ono familiar with the situation that the boom is not in good working order. Enthusiastic friends of the general’s have declared him to be a presidential candidate, and those who could hardly be classed as friends have given the idea wings and then proceeded to make it fly most erratically. ‘This war, when connected | with other successful campaigns, would capture | the soi‘ vote of the great west, said the enthus- jasts, and straightway the ‘anti-Miles men charged that blood would be shed to add luster to what no one denied was brilliant record.

Now that Gen. Miles has gone noone here imagines for a moment that any more guns will be hauled over from the hostile camp. A great many army officers hold, and 1 have written of this subject before, that a com- plete disarmament of the Indians would result in the speedy transfer of all Indian property to setilers through active accumulatory efforts on ‘the part of the settlers. Of course this docs not refer to all «the settlers, but to ‘those adventurers who will not stop short of larceny if larceny will profit them anything. That there are many such 1 know. During the past two weeks I have ridden over a good de: of the region which ne: i by friendly Indians. These friendly Indinns had homes scattered all over the reservation, quite large a number of these log “shacks” be- ing within twenty-five miles or so of the ugency. in half a dozen of these homes I saw maranding white men who had come iu over the Nebraska line and who were busily engaged in appropriating anything and was wo the entir ry for some time, upon the bands of hostile I who lind roamed through those portions of the reserve.

One of the queries which has been floating around camp for some days pust seems to be RED EAGLE SKINNING A STEER. rather pertinent now that the question of dis- armanent is up and that is “what did the hos- tiles surrender when they came into the agency?” Gen. Miles says of this surrender: “‘A more complete submission to the military power was never known.” The facta are that =e 4,500 Ogalialas and Brules who had been | behaving threateningly as a whole, but who | readily talked peace, came im under the guns of the command at Pine Ridge of their own free will and accord. ‘They made the terms by insisting that a delegation of thetr chiefs and thead men be sent to Washington and by stipu- lating that the surrender of arms should be voluntary.
