Rows of chairs were placed in the center of the room, which were occu- pied by the Indians who reached the depart- ment shortly after 10 o'clock. Facing the a» semibled red men sat Secretary Noble behind low, lang desk. Near him Secretary Proctor was an interested listener to the proceedings. the sides of the room were the spectators, mostly ladies. Among those present were Tudian Com: Storgan ahd. Mrs. Mor- FE line, Dawen, | Mise “Kate Foote, Mise cher, Miss Sickels, Miss Grace Howard, De Cuny, Senator Casey ‘and others interested in the Indians. The wife of Secretary Noble and ‘Misa Halstead, the wife of Secretary Proc- tor and Miss Proctor wore also present. ‘THE CENTRR OF INTEREST. ‘The center of interest, however, was the group'of men whose high cheek bones and swarthy faces indicated their Indian blood. ‘The Midians were evidently dressed for the oc- casion. Not a blanket or a feather or a blotch of paint was to be seen. They all wore store clothes and as far as the outward garb is eonoerned theve Indians te a civi ay rance. ront Tow of chaise was occupied by Join Young-Man-Afraid and American Horse, an when Secretary Noble came into the room he shook inds with these men, and the rest of the delegation understood that in 80 doing their hands were grasped by the Secretary. On the left of the Secretary was the table occupied by the represcntatives of the and near him sat the stenographer, Mr. Edwards, of the census office. * ‘THE INTERPRETER CALLED FOR. The Secretary indicated that he was ready to hegin the conferenee by calling for an inter- preter. Rev. C. 8. Cook, the Episcopal minis- ter at Pine Ridge, was culled upon to perform it duty. Rev. Mr. Cook iw a half- born in the Sioux country, and has the farther advantage of having’ been fully edueated. He interpreted the postic which some of the speakers dropped into occa- ly very effectively and the touches of sarcasm and humor which were now and then a feature of some of the speakers wore translated so that the foree of the point made was not lost.

The Secretary then asked if the Indians had made any arrangements about speakers. He said that he could not hear them all for want of time, but would listen toa few, and he de- sired them to speak as briefly as possible. He added that if thero was_no objection he would first hear from John Grass, Hollow Horn Bear, Amer Horse, Two Strike, Hump and Young-Man-Afraid. ‘Spenking for the delegation, John Rencontre, a balf-breed, who is a delegate, replied that such an arraugement would not be satisfactory, ay it was 1d that each agency present should be represented by one or more speakers. Tesponse Secretary Noble said that he nla hear what Joba Grass and American had and when they had finished then he would ask them what other speakers desired to be hoard. ‘There was no objection offered to this plan, and John Grass stepped forward and began his h.

Louis Reichard of Rosebud then relieved the Rev.

He knew the total was siall and he didn't care to say. Secretary removed the embarrassment by a ve them something to do when they finished at achool.

Then Young-Man- Afraid said be would postpone further conver sation until Monday, TWO STRIKE BAD BIB IXxINGS. ‘Two Strike was next called for. The wily old warrior did not want to say much, but his man- ner was quite vigorous, He acknowledged that there had been trouble, but that was gone. He had made peace with Gen. Miles, had turned in his arms now came to report to the Great Father. He was always going to do what he could to maintain peace. “He joined with one of the Indians in the rear of the room in a request that he be allowed to seo Gen. Miles, who th understood would be hereon Monday. They wanted to see him. RUMP AND HIP FARMING FAILURE. Tho next speaker was Hump—than whom no better Indian ever lived if his record during the campaign of 1876 be erased. He called xttention to the fact that he bad farmed at Cheyeune Rivet for three years and had no ‘crop, and for that reason he wanted the rations increased and continued. Cheyenne River agency had suffered much in this trouble —about 800 of the had been killed—and there should be some consideration shown the survivors. He, too, wuggested that a little money from the Secretary would be acceptable. High Hawk, Ogaliala, told with a loud voice how earnest be had always been for pexce. His rincipal complaint was as to the dividing li tween the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies; the line had caused much trouble and he hoped it would be removed. HOLLOW HORN BEAR'S COMPLAINT.

He complained of the trespassing of troops on the reservation without what he be- lieved to be just canse and expressed hitnselt as being hurt ‘because the soldiers had killed many of his people. One man (referring to the affair at Wounded Knee) wanted to fight; the others did not. ‘That man fired his gun and then the soldiers shot men, women and children. He was some- what lost, but he was going to try to do right, as be had always done, buthe had to ony thal only the white man had broken the mutual promises.

Hollow Horn Bear then asked that those In- dians who had lost property during the late trouble might be reimbursed and went into finaucial matters in connection with old and unfalfilled treaties. Cows had been prom- -ago, but they had not been given. Crops’ were failures in his country and only cattle raising was a success. The cows ought to’ be sent out right awny. ‘There was money due the Indians and he hoped that would be weed in the purchase of cows and mares.

The white people aleo want islation. The white people have to wait a long time for their rights because the legisla- ture is much engaged. When the Sioux came here last year the Secretary did his atmost’ t make prom. her Congress to do these things according to the recommendations of Gen.

THE REDUCTION WAS 4X ACCIDENT. It was a mere aceident that 100,000 should have been cut off the Sioux appropriation im- mediately after the agreement with Gen. Crook, It would have been the same if there had been no agreement. These things should convince the Sioux that the government bas been trying to do Tndiaus.”” what was right for Secretary Noble — then entered yy & lengthy explanation of the boundary line between Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations and showed how the Indians had agreed to that line just as they agreed to every- thing else in the law which was enacted by Congress, and then sent out for the Sioux to When that had been fully explained and the Indians had been informed as to the best methods of redress, the Secretary went on to say that everything had been done by the au- thorities to improve the condi’.or. of the Sioux tion. nation. In conclusion the Secretary advised the In- dians to think over the many things the government had done for them; to look at the promises made vy Gen. Crook and to have confidence ix what he said. The Secretary said he w-uted the Indians to make up their minds to <<» the best they could to educate or to ‘ave educated their children and never to It sheir young men dream that they could ever get anything by force from the United States.

INVESTIGATING, HEIZER’S DEATH. Coroner Patterson Commences an Inquest at the 8th Precinct This Afternoou, AN ANONYMOUS LETTER RECEIVED aT POLICE HEADQUARTERS—THE MAX WHO FIRST FOUND MEVER TELLS HIS STORY—DR. HENDERSON GIVES HIS EVIDENCE. When on the night of the 10th of last month the late John H. Heizer was found sitting be- side a railroad track on Ist street northeast he was in terrible agony. ‘The sole of his foot had been cut off and he was unable to get up. His 8p- | screams for help were heard by Mr. Thomas Murphy and Mr. Thomas McDonald. The former was first to reach the injured man, and when he asked what was the matter the sufferer responded, “I've beeu ran over by « tram,” and in almost the same breath he told that he had been robbed and thrown from the . MeDonald was the next one to appear and with the assistance of others he removed the injured man to Sullivan's saloon, where he was cared for until the patrol wagon arrived and conveyed him to Providence Hospital. The train which left the Baltimore and Ohio station that night for Takoma went out on middle track, along Ist street between G and H streets, and according to the railroad men there were cars on either side track. On one of the tracks there were freight cars and on the other track were coal hoppers, and the dis- tance between the passing tr: xd the care not in motion was about three feet. ‘MR. HEIZER'S sTaTeMENT. Mr. Heizor’s statement of the affair, as pub- lished in Tuz Stas at the time, was that he was seated in the smoker of the bobtail train and when the smoke proved sickening to him he started forward to the only other passenj car on the train and was attacked = two unknown men, who robbed him and threw him the train.
