HONESTY OF THE RED CLOUD AGENT. ——_——_ A Certificate of Character for the {nterior De- partment and the Indian Bureau. A QUESTION OF VERACITY UNSETTLED, Wasmyarox, Sept. 10, 1875, The Red Cloud Indian Investigating Commission have resumed the examination of witnesses, and the prospect is that, if they intend to fight it out on the line of ex- amining every person whose name has been or may be Suggested to them, it will take them, not only “all summer,” but will carry them into another adminis- tration. The feature of the session to-day was the ex- amination of Bishop W. H. Hare, who has had an ex- tensive acquaintance with the management of the Jadiang, under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, in carrying out the peace policy of the Presi- dent. Bishop Hare spoke with both candor and caution, and was tenderly conscientious lest any unguarded statements of his might be considered as re- flecting upon the personal character and integrity of any person whose name or position he had occasion to mention, The principal part of the examination had special reference to the conduct of APYAIRS UNDER DR, SAVILLE, the agent at Red Cloud, respecting which the Bishop had made a special examination and report over a year ago, While stating his opinion, in which the Commise sioner of Indian Affairs concurred, that, for a variety of » reasons the period of Dr. Saville’s usefulness as an Indian agent had- passed, Bishop Hare took ccasion to express bis unshaken confidence in the personal integrity of the Red Cloud Agent, and, in general observation with the Commissioners after tho close of his formal examination, he pointed out the dif- ficulties the Doctor had had to contend with and the disaifected interests at work against him, and defended him from the unjust aspersions which, he said, have been cast upon him. The Bishop also testified to the assistance he had re- ceived from the Interior Department and the Indian Otice im his endeavors to correct abuses in the management of tho Indian matters at the agencies, upon the general subject of Indian affairs, “expressing substantially the same views which he had previously embodied in his special report to the department, Professor Marsh and the Commissioner of Indian af- fairs were present at the examination of Bishop Hare to-day, and the Professor turned examiner for a time and asked'the Bishop some questions more especially touching the fact as to whether certain recom- mendations made in Bishop Hare’s report bad been carried out by the department, BISHOP HARK'S TESTIMONY, By Mr. Faulkner—I call your attention to the fol- lowing paragraph in the pamphlet containing Professor Marsh’s charges: “Essentially the same excuse for the inferior char- acter of these cattle was made by Agent Saville im Washington, June 1, 1875. When questioned by Bishop W. H. Hare in ty presence in regard to this particular issue Agent Saville then stated that the poor condition of these cattle was owing to hard driving some forty- eight hours, with little grass or sleep, to hurry them waa as the Indians had had no beef for some time, he havfng kept back rations to imduce them to be counted; these cattle arrived in the morning and he weighed most of them the same forenoon; some few that were wild he did not weigh, but estimated; the issue was made on the same afternoon of the receipt; among the cattle then issued were some forty or more ‘small and scallawag cattle; Agent Saville was confident that these cattle, thin as they were, would weigh 850 pounds on un average; on my questioning this he in- sisted that those he weighed came up to that average and that those estimated were tully as large; he, him- self, weighed all of the herd that were weighed on the morning tbey arrived; memoranda of these statements of Agent Saville were ‘taken down at the time by both Bishop Hare and myself, and, ata subsequent confer- ence, were found to agree.”” Now, do you recollect the extent of that interview that took place between yourself and Agent Saville which is there referred to, and if sogive us the sub- stance of it, as far as youcan recollect? A. I accept this statement, with the exception of one or two words that do not affect its substance. 1 would omit the phrase, ‘forty-eight hours.” I don’t deny it, but I don’t remember it, If it be a verbatim copy of the statement I stand by it; but there are a few words that Ido not remember. I willread it over again [reading]. Essentially the same excuse for the inferior char- acter of these cattle was made by Agent Saville in Washington, June 1, 1875, when quostioned by Bishop W. H. Hare, in my presence, in regard to thisparticular issue?’ A. “That is so.” Q “Agent Saville then stated that the poor con- dition of these cattle was owing to hard driving some forty-cight hours with little grass or sleep, to hugry them through, as the Indians had had no beef for some time, he having kept back rations to induce thom to be counted?’ A, “That is 80, except I won’t be suro about the words ‘ forty-eight hours’,”” Q These cattle arrived in the morning, and he weighed most of them the same forenoon??? A. “That is 80.” Q “Some fow that were wild he did not weigh, but estimated?’ A, “That is so.’ “ The issue was made on the same afternoon as the receipt.’ ‘That is so,” ‘Among the cattle then issued were forty or more ‘‘scalla- wag" cattle.’ “Iwon’t be sure about the number, He may have said forty, but I don’t remember exactly.” ‘Agent Saville was confident that these cattle, thin as they were, would weigh 860 pounds on an average.’ “That is so.” ‘On my questioning this, he insisted that those he weighed came up to that average, and that those estimated were fully as large.’ ‘That is so.” ‘Ho himself weighed all of the herd that were weighed on the morning they arrived.’ “That is so." By tho Chairman—Did you understand Saville to say on that occasion that these cattle would average 850 pounds and no more?” A. “Not to say so; but the im- pression upon my mind was that they would not weigh more than 850 pounds; I thought that a man who wished to prove that the cattle were up to the standard would not state the lowest figure, but rather the bigh- est figure which his conscience would allow; if, there- fore, Saville again and again reiterated that they would weigh 850 pounds, it was clear to ine that they would not weigh 950." By Mr. Harris—‘‘Sayille stated that in that conversa- tion he was repeatedly asked by yourselt or Professor Marsh whether the cattle would come up to 860 pounds as the minimum named in the contract; to which he said he thought they would, and more?’ A. “1 don'y remember the ‘more;’ I do not think he could have used ‘more;’ 1 think that would have made an impres. | sion upon my mind,” Q “Then, as to the other part of his statement that the qhestion was put to him to give the minimum num- ver of pounds or the average numbor of poun ated in the contract, do you know whether the contract was referred to in your conversation?” A. “The contract was referred to; not visibly produced, but referred to verbally.” Q “I state to you as well as T ean remember, without being able at this moment to read his exact statement, the substance of what he said, in order that, if you think proper, you can affirm it or contradict 1, either way?” A. “I would not be willing to do more than to give my impression of it, There were a great many other thingson my mind, This was, with me, a sido fesue, Iam aiminister, That was no particular busi- ness of mine, and, having asked about it, I dismissed the matter frommy mind and attended to my usual affairs, and I don’t wish to give anything more than as my memory serves me now.” hd By the Chairman—What I wish to “irrive at is whether or no you had any recollection that would en- ablo you to say when Saville talked about the weight of the cattle, whether he was speaking of their a tua weight or whether he only combating the state- ment that they would not weigh pounds, merely disputing that statement as a fact? A. “He was not disputing that as a fact, that they would not weigh 850 pounds’ But I had wilked with him and with Professor Marsh so much previously about it that I thought he never stated that they would weigh 950 pounds, and, therefore, when I saw that it appeared, from certain vouchers in the Auditor's office, that he reported that | however, ‘ey averaged over 1,00v pounds, my heart sunk within me. But that is merely an inference of mine. 1 can- not present it as anything like evidence, I know nothing positive. Q “Iwill ask you, Bishop, if you recollect the eir- cumstance of a conversation between Dr. ile and Professor Marsh in reference to the seven head of cattle that it was charged by Professor Marsh were very inferior—the same that General Bradley gave a cer- tifieate in reference to—if you remember Professor Marsh writing down something concerning it and Dr. | Saville stopping him and telling him that he misrepre- | sented or misunderstood him?’ A. ‘1 do remember i.” By Mr. Fanlkner—Had not yon better state, Bishop, what you recollect with reference to it?” A. “I would rather be questioned,” By Mr, Fanikner—‘We would rather you would give the statement as it presents itself to your mind.”” By the Chairman—‘‘Dr, Saville said in his testimony before us, ‘When I met Professor Marsh again it was in Bishop Hare's room in the hotel. There this question came up again and Professor Marsh stated, in substance, that I bad said that I had received those cattle and tseued them too; I told him that I had not said so, that I said that I thought that I had not recetpted for them, but I could not remember distinctly; he then asked me ‘if you have received them wero they issued to the Indians? I eaid probably they were, He then went to take it down, and then repeated over | nearly what he says there in the statement. 1 stopped him and told him that he wilfully misinterpreted or misunderstood ine, I told him I thought he was i 4 to make up a case against me and fle did not care how he did i, By that time Bishop Hare got up and put his hand on me, for | was getting very angry. | said a good deal more, but that is the substance of what I said to him about tt.’? . ‘Now, what {s your recollection as to that conversa- tion?” A. “Well, 1 do not think I can answer until I know what is said in Professor Marsh’s pamphlet which is there referred to; I am willing to. state, informally, I understood the point Professor Marsh made was that Dr, Saville had said that he receipted tor thore seven head of cattle and tlfereby made the gov- erninent responsible for them, while I understood Dr, | Saville to say that he did hot receipt for them but simply received them; that be made a distinction be- tween the two words; that he (Saville) represented that they were driven up with the rest of the cattle and he had permitted them to be driven into the corral and af- terwards they were issued to the Indians; that he did not receipt for them although he received them; there | is a distinction plainly implied between the two words; that is to say, if he had receipted for them the government would be responsible and have to pay for them, while if he merely allowed them tobe driven in and did not receipt for them the government was not responsible for them; if a man delivers six barrels of merchandise to me and I receipt for them I am responsible for them, and then if he afterward de- livers four more barrels and J do not receipt for them I am not responsible for them; the difference was in the two words ‘receipted’ and ‘received,’ Professor Marsh understanding that it was ‘receipted’ and Dr, Saville that it was ‘received;’ it was in regard to that that the paling was displayed; as to which Saville said I do not how, By Mr. Harris—‘This is what I find in our record of Dr. Saville’s testimony, taken before us at Red Cloud agency :— “Q. In the same connection Professor Marsh says that Agent Saville was confident that these cattle, thin as they were, would weigh 850 pounds on an’ average. Did you make that statement to him?” A. “I shall hav to explain that in the same way by recalling what was said; Bishop Hare asked me if theso cattle would weigh every one 1,000 pounds, and I gaid, ‘No, they would not,’ and then remarked that the contract did not require them to be 1,000 pounds in weight, and he asked me bow much it was and I told him 850 pounds, and he turned to mo and said, ‘Did these ‘cattle average $60 pounds?’ asking a general explanation if they came up to the contract; I answered him in these words, ‘Yes, and more;’ those I think were the exact words, “Q Did you at any time claim, In that conversation or any other, that they weighed 850 pounds?” A. “No, sir, not fixing the amount, ouly that they filled the contract.” Q “lask you now If that statement accords with, your recollection ?”? A. “I would omit the words ‘and more,’ but if | was put on my oath to deny that he said ‘and more,’ I should prefer not saying it, because it is merely a matter of memory, and a man’s character is at stake, ”? Q “Then, Bishop, how in other respects does the statement agree with your recollection?” A. “Ex- actly.” 4 By Mr. Atherton—“Do you remember his speaking of the £1,000 and the contract?” A, “I do.” By Mr. Harris—‘I want in that connection to ask an- other question, Do you know whether Dr. Savillgor notat that time, tn the presence of Professor Marsh and yourself, claimed that he was then speaking without his books and without the means of giving you the ex- act figures im tho matter?” A. “Ido not remember that he aamed it,” Q. “Do you know whether or not that was the fact, whether he had any books by him or whether you had @ transcript of the books?’? A. ‘He did not produce aaa? “iit vile oe Pratilibe Ward “eidsietltpta’ ot! is accounts?” A. “I had not.” Q “Perhaps it could not be so at that time, because I believe you afterwards saw the record of hisstatement of the weight of the cattle received on that day?’ A, “f saw it in Professor Marsh's statement.” By the Chairman—Q. “Bishop, have you read tho Pamphlet of Professor Marsh?” A. “Not tully, I took it up, but 1 was very busy with other matters and have not read it fully.”” Q “Then you are not aware of what the charges are which are made in his statement to the Commission ?”” A. “No, not specifically.” Q. “So far as you have read them and are aware of them, is there any information that you can give us that would be relevant to the questions raised there, going to show the correctness of any of those charges— any testimony in support of them that you could give us?” A. “I would prefer you to ask mé questions. have nothing to say in answer-to that general question, | but I should be very glad to answer any particular ques: | tion. Q “Well, then, are you aware of any frauds trated upou the Indians by Agent Savillet” not. Perpe- A “I am Q@ “Or upon the government?” A. “I am not.’? Q “Are you aware, even, whether or not the num- ber of Indians at the Red Cloud Agency has been oyer- estimated or overstated by the agent or by anybody else, by which the government has been wronged?” A. “I am_ not.” By Mr. Harris -“I want to ask you whether or not yow have so investigated that matter as to have formed an opinion upon that subject?” A. “I examined that matter whon was at the agency in March, 1874; so ‘tar as I know Savile's reports up to that dato regarding the numbor of Indians | were true, But there is no subject upon which men | have such difference of opinion as upon the number of Indians. Regarding the time when Professor Marsh was there I have no information. I was not th Upon the subject of the general question I would rea ‘In the third place the testimony is abundant and unanimous to the point that these agencies, always the refuge in winter of our northern Indians who have connected themselves with no agency in particular, were last winter the resort of a larger number than usual.’ Q “Do you know bat rig ® issue of annuity goods at Red Cl A. “Ido not.’ Q “You are not aware of any circumstances that might be regarded as fraudulent in reference to the issue of goods?” A. “I am not,” % Q “Do you know anything of the quality of the beof issued by the agent at the Red Cloud Agency to the Indians?” A. “At what time?” Q “Atany time?” A. “Begarditia the time covered by my report, which is here, I have read that report | this morning and I stand by every word of it to-day, | Q. “Have you any Knowledge on the subject that is | not embraced in your report?” A, “Do you mean up to the time that report was made or since then ?’” Q “Since that time.” A. “No; I have no know!l- in reference to the joud Agency in 18749" edge.” ¢ “Can you give us the names of any persons who | havo any knowledge on the subject??? A. “No, 1 can- not; I will say, gentlemen, that I stood by Agent Savlile because f believed him to bean honest man in a dificult position, fretted by men some of whom had bad motives, unul I met him here last June; then I fone to the conclusion that he was not the man for the place.” By Mr, Fautkner—Q. ‘Was that conclusion based upon any facts or upon his temper and character?” 4. “Partly upon his temper, partly upon the fact that he had been 80 bothered and there were many persons enlisted against him that [ believed hus influence for good was gone, and partly—I would rather what I say would not be put down; it is not testimony; a man's character is at stake, and I cannot say it if itis put down, but I will state what I was going to say for the benelit of the commission,” Mr. Harris—~‘This is not the time or place for confi- denttal communications"? Bishop Hare~-"Well, then, I will say in the third place that I thought the Episcopal Church ‘should no long be responsible in any wav for an‘agent regarding whose | character so many questions had been raiged."’ By the Chairman—" Do you know of any frauds or wrong-doing on the part of any beef contractor at the Red Cloud Agency, or at the Spotted Tail Agency f”” A. by Ido now" @ | “Do you know anything of the character and qual- ity of some pork that was issued at Red Cloud Agency in 18747" A. “1 do not’?

Mr. | } Faulkner replied that the | question was suggested to him by the Bishop's own | remark that he had stood by Agent Saville until he | came here in June last, when he came to the concli- | sion that he was not the man for the place, The con- | Yersation then turned upon the condition of afairs in | that Indian country at the time the Bishop made the mvestigations upon which his report was based, In this connection he went on to sa Bistiop Hare—Several white had been killed in the neighborhood of Laramie Peak within two days; 80 many murders had occurred that the whites became alarined; 1 had private information from Indians which was threatening; some men urged that these Indians had been driven to frenzy by wrongs perpetrated upon them by their agents, and hence there were wartike Proceedings: 1 wus telegraphed to by the government | and asked to go out to Red Cloud Agency aud Spotted Tail Agency—-I was then at Yankton Agency,—and examine into the ‘true state of ullurs at those agencies; these Indians had been put | under my missionary care and the agents were | | the nominees of the Episcopal Church; I felt bound to go, and out of my going there came this report; I did not go to examine into the truth of Mr. Walker's report as my chief business; the question was altogether a bigger one; eome people maintain that Indians never | do wrong and never have committed depredations; that | some white men must have been the immodiate cause; that is all humbug; these Indians are very violent, | very savage, and burst into war simply | from the violence of their natures; of | course they aro grievously outraged by white men, | but not always by their agents; I have read this motne ing the report which I made a year ago last April, and L | | aim pleased with it to-day, I will say, moreover, that in all my experience in the Indian country the rations that Thave seen have been wholesome and good, but not first class; at the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail ageucies in March, i874, 1 saw bad flour; so far as 1 could discover | it was the remains of flour sent there the previous | ear, 71 will take your recommendation, which we | will mark No, 1, that the agents at the’ Red Cloud | and Spotted Tail agencies and at any agencies hereafter | established among the wilder Sioux to be supported by a military foree which should, however, except under extraordinary circumstances, be at a short | distance from the agency and not ‘immediately ad- joining; the reiation of the agent and the commanding | officer should be detinitely determined; that an agency | be provided for the Northern Siotix, and that, to this | end, they, bo refused rations at the existing agencies, | and a Mlegution of them be induced to visit Was! ington, and that the location of the be in’ the neighborhood -of the Black Q “Had you seen anything in Saville’s conduct bo- | fore June, 1875, that made you think him morally weak?” A. “I deciine to answer the question, respect | fully to you.

A. “Yes, sir; I think I do.” “Will you please’ state what that was in sub. stance?” A. “I think I remember your stating that, in your opinion, they would fall below the contract | average, but I understand that the issue when Saville | was present to have been whether the eatuie came up | to the contract ge or notY That is my memory.” | Q “Did he say anything that led you to tafer that he | claiined more tha: 0 pounds actually for that lot of cattle?” A. “He did hot.” . | Ry Mr, Harris—Q. “Did you understand him to be stating the result of that weight, the figures which fo remembored as the actual weight?” AL “Yes, he re- i ved them,’ " Q. “The quostion 18 whether you undersgpod him to be stating when he roferred to the woight the exact | average weight.” A. “No, sit; mot the exact weight.” | Q “Did he say anything about that; did he leave upon urmind the impression that he not then the his, or that he remember them; or ther he was giving you the exact or the proximate weighty” A, “He leit such an impres- y \ x aj | giving his reasons therefur. | the society at their pryate rooms, the rain preventing advieable that tho original programme, which j had an hour. earlier been abandoned, should be taken up, and that the Governor should address tho people assembled on the Farr Grounds, The party were driven at once to the grounds, and’ were tendered a private reception in the office of the association and soon after were ¢ | Broadway, or in sion that ff 1 aiscovered tnat they artuaily wetghed 950 { pounds I should have been very much surprised. ’* Q “Upon this point the controversy between Pro- fessor Marsh und Dr, Saville 1s brought down to a few words, Saville saying, ‘I said they would come up to the average and 1 and the Professor claiming that he said they would weigh that precisely.

In the informal conversation which — followed he gave some account of his experience among Indians generally, his observations as to their character and customs, expressed his poor opinion of w men around the Indian agencies and said the government should adopt a firmer policy in dealing with the Indians, A LETTER FROM MR.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 10, 1875, Mong Kong dates are to August 16, and Shanghai to August 17. ‘The British Minister, Mr, Wade, had left Tientsin for Pekin, there to deliver the ultimatum of the British government in the case of Margary, Several attachés of the British legation preceded him on different dates to give the Chinese government full and timely warning of the action which Mr. Wade would take It is com- monly understood that if his ands are not acceded to within twenty-four hours he will withdraw his lega. tion and declare open hostilities, These demands com- prise a complete investigation of the case, the punish- ment of the offenders, and heavy pecuniary damages, It is not doupted that the Chinese anthorities will | agree to everything and pay the indemnity promptly, though as to the punishment of the guilty parties much evasion is expected. The relations between Mr, Wade and Li-hung Chang, the Viceroy of China, while at Tientsin were not cordial. The treaty between China and Peru had been ratified at Teintsin after a long delay and many difficyjties. Mr. J. Meadows, formerly of the Englis¥ consular service and latterly interpreter for the Peruvian Lega. | tion, died suddenly at Teintsin, ‘There had been renewed attacks by Chinese mobs on telegraph attachés near Foochoo. : ‘The efforts to obtain an explanation of and redress for the murder of Mr. Blacklock, an English assistant in the Foochoo customs service, had utterly failed, RUSSIAN AND JAPANESE TRANSFERS—ARREST OF UNITED STATES CITIZENS. ‘The Pacific Mail steamship City of Tokio, trom Hong Kong, China, via Japan, August 24, has arrived, The Russian and Japanese Commission had. sailed to complete the transfer of the Kurile Islands to Japan and the Saghalien Islands to Russia, Reports are circulated among Japanese officials to the effect that a war between China and England is immi- | nent, but they are not believed to be based upon any in- telligence beyond that already received by foreigners. On retiring from the Japanese service next month General Logendre will receive the firse imperial deco- Tation ever offered to any foreigner, ‘The question of the Corean invasion remains un- changed. The most influential members of the gov- ernment are against it, though they are not in the ma- jority. Judge Richardson, of the United States Court of Claims at Washington, and Commander Lewis, of the United States sveamer Yantic, while travelling within the treaty limits of Yokohama, were arrested by local officers and sent back to the foreign settlement.

GOVERNOR TILDEN AT FORT ED- WARD. THE OPEN AIR RECEPTION PREVENTED BY THE RAIN. Fort Epwanp, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1875, In accordance with previous arrangements, Governor Tilden arrived at Fort Edward this morning and was received by a committee appointed to escort him to the grounds of the Washington Agricultural Society. On account ofthe rain it was thought advisable that the reception to the Governor should take place at the Opera House, to which place the party adjourned, where an appropriate address of welcome was’ made by Dr. J. E. King, gf the Fort Edward Institute. Tho Governor respond! ina brief speech, thanking the citizens for the hospitalities extended to him, and assuring them of the pleasure it gave him to revisit their beautiful village and gaze upon the spot which in his childhood he had been taught to reverence for its historic fam: He was followed by Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer- in a few well chosen remarks, atter which the party visited the Institute and were driven to tho Fair Grounds, where they were received by the officers of their appearance in public. Fort Eowan, N. ¥., Sept. 10, 1875. At one o'clock the weather appeared more favorable and the rain finally ceased. It was then deemed escorted to the grand stand, where, despite the chilly and damp state of the weather, a large throng, number- ing nearly 6,000 people, including many of the genticr sex, had assembled. The Governor was introduced by Mr. E. l. Coy, President of the society, and ad- dressed the audience in a clear and distinct voice, which was heard in every part of the circle, THE RAIN PREVENTS THE SPEECH MAKING. Sanpy Hi, N. Y, Sept. 10, 1875. Owlngto the storm the Governor will not speak to- day before the Washington Agricultural Society. The address will be delivered to-morrow, weather per- mitting.
