10 NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1875——TRIPLE SHEET. FAST POSTAL TRAINS. The Herald’s Rapid Transit Plan as | Adopted by the Government. eer THE NEW SYSTEM OF MALL COMMUNICATION. Interesting Details Concerning the Trains and the Matter Despatehed. THE OPENING OF A NEW ERA, Wasmixorox, Sept. 15, 187: Postmaster General Jewell furnishes the following *tatement concerning the fast mail trains:—The Post Ottice Department proposes to despatch mails to-morrow morning (the 16th), by all the early fast trains which have been lately puton the lune over the New York Central Railroad, which is fully equipped, starting at a little after four o'clock, taking the mails from New ‘York city and the New England States which should go over the Northern line. The Penusylvania Central line train which leaves Jersey City at half-past four A. M., will connect at Harrisburg with the train and mail Which will leave this city at six o'clock for Pittsburg and the West, To organize so many aew mail trains and postal cars bas been a work of very great labor. The Northern | Foute, however, will be the best eqmppod, becanse It heretofore had a large mail, and catchers for the purpose of catching mails at stations where ‘he trains do not stop are already up on the New York Dentral Railroad and its connections West. The Penn- nylvania Central Railroad has, as yet, none of these mail catchers, though they will be put up as soon as possible ull along the line of the roads, so as to accom- modate this fast train, It now appears that so long ago as last November the Postmaster General put himself in communication with some of the leading railroad Men and urged a more rapid transit of mails, He had 3 personal interview with Commodore and W. H. Van- derbit in New York, in which he urged them to put on a train to make the trip from New York to Chicago in | twenty-four heurs, Although he could guarantee no extra pay for it, he thought it would be an object for the railroad ,to run a train for concentrating mails, which would reheve other trains of the road and enable the road to do the business of the de- partment more profitably to themselves and more advantageously to the public than when scattered on so many trains, as was then being doue. The Pennsylva- nia Railroad authorities had been previously spoken to im regard to the same matter. Two or three months ago the New York ,Central road offered to run a fast train and it was accepted by the department. Septem- ber 16 was designated as the day when it should be put on. Within a few weeks the Pennsylvania Central Rail- road offered to do the same thing, and their offer was also accepted. It has been found a very difficult under- | jaking to organize the Pennsylvania Railroad route to do the business properly at this time, but the Post Oiice authorities will be on hand to-morrow to take the mails destined for Pittsburg and the southern portion of the Eastern and Middle States, and do the best they can with them. Since it was decided to put on this train on the 16th schemes for distribution have had to be made, | and post offices and postal cars notified to make up for | that train. More than 600 notices have had to be written and sent within a week, as THE RAMIFICATIONS OF A TRAIN like this, spreading out from the termini of the route like a fan, are very extensive. The Post Office Department is confident that it will deliver its mails after the 16th in less than twenty-six hours in Chicago and Cincinnati, and less than thirty | four hours in St. Louis, from New York. The Penn- | tylvania Railroad, with its usual enterprise, is putting bn fast trainsto connect, South and West, with this irain, so that the entire South and Southwest will re- | teive the advantage of this train by more than twelve | hours, One-eighth of the entire mail matter of the country originates in New York city, and more than that—perhaps three-sixteenths—originates in New Eng- and, Some estimate it still higher, so the northern route, taking all this New England mail, together with bhat originating in New York, must of necessity have a” very large preponderance im the amount of mail matter ‘ransported over it, ‘The New York Post Office despatches, per week, of mail originating there, 226 sacks for Wisconsin, 210 for she State of New York, 200 for Michigan, 200 for Chi- 2ago, 150 for lowa, 60 for Nebraska, 250 for California, 200 for Union Pacific distribution, 200 for Minnesota. And estimAting one-half of Illinois, 100 sacks; one-half | of Ohio, 175, and.one-half of Indiana, 120 sacks, to go over the Northern route, leaving more than 4,000 sacks bo be despatched from New York alone for the North- trun line. It is estimated that New England will fur- aish an equal amount, which should mainly go over she Northern road. New York city despatches of | mails, which must go over the Southern route, about 100 sacks per week for Missouri, about 200 for St Louis and Arkansas, about 100 for Kansas and Colorado and 125 for Texas, making a little less than 1,000 sacks per week for that route, including half of Indiana, Ohio and Lilinois. It is probable that the New England States will furnish from 500 to 1,000 sacks to go in this firection. It is contemplated to put on postal car ser- vice ag fast as needed on the trunk lines and take up | vhere it is not needed on the lateral and small lines. | THR WESTERN ROADS, | The roads west of Pittsburg are offering postal car | Lcilities as fast as the department can use them. They nil be put on, if needed, from Pittsburg to the Missouri | River. At present, however, it is anticipated that all wail matter over this route can be distributed and as- sorted by the time trains reach Pittsburg, in which case \t will go in closed pouches for points of destination, arriving just as quickly as if they were in postal cars, the mail should increase so that it cannot be properly made up by the time it reaches Pittsburg postal cars will be ran to Columbus or further, until sufficient time 8 gained In the postal cars to make up all this mail matter to its destination, The department hopes that she railroads will find it to their interest to despatch ‘ore mails at one time, instead of having postal cars on | Yo many trains on the same road, The rates now paid to railroads under the law, which sannot be increased or lessened by the Post Office De- partment, are large enough, it is believed, to pay the mmilroads well tor doing this business. After the Post- master General’s visit to Chicago and the West last | spring and observing the immense amount of mail mat- | ter going between the Atlantic and Pacific, not only for | yor own department but for the British Post Office, he | nyestigated the cost of transportation, and found, under she law, the department paid the failroads for every won of mail matter between New York and San Francisco, by whatever route, $575, or more than twenty-cight | vents per pound, exclusive of the handling of the trains and of transshipment at terminal points of the line, so | ‘at lor every pound of newspapers transported over ‘his entire distance the department loses more than wenty tive cents a pound and on every pound of mer- thandise it loses more than ten cents a pound. Of course but a small proportion of the mail passes from ocean Lo ocean, oF the deficiency would be even greater than $7,000,000, which is about the estimate for it, THE TRAINS TO WASHINGTON. Postmaster General Jewell to-day telegraphed to New York that there was no reason why the mail from shat city for Baltimore and Washington should not bave the advantage of the new fast mail line which is ‘© begin to-morrow morning, and ordered that the mail ‘or both cities should be delivered on the same train at | Philadelphia now carrying the packages of the Hyra.p | for Baltimore and Washiogton newsdealers, This will give both cities their New York mail three hours earlier aud subscribers to the Henao nearly the same advan- | tage now had by the exclusive delivery of only news- paper packages. In Baltimore it will give the mer- [ chants their New York mail during business hours. | But this ts only the beginning of a better system of prampt delivery between New York and the South, As | soon a8 arrangements can be made the Postmaster Guneral intends the New York mail shai! reach Balti- more before eleven o'clock A. M. and the Washington mail by twelve o’clock noon. ‘THR BENRVIT TO CONGRESSMEN, During the session of Congress this will be of great Demet to Congressmen. Instead of fritvering away heir ime io useless legislation they wiil be able to dis- bose of each day's mail during the hours of the session 4ud road the Hnauo for wise instruction on importaat | thirty-tive pound torpedo, which | small spar lashed to the quarterof the boat. The pending votes, The Postmaster General, while renew- ing his ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO THE HERALD for developing the system of lightning mail trains, says that neither of the two fust trains leaving New York to-morrow will be any additional cost to the govern- ment. There has not been a single appointment to the ; foree, and he hopes eventually that it will be a matter of economy. The next step will be toward providing an earlier mail train for the South, when the Hrxaty Will reach Richmond on the day of its publication, THE POST OFFICER ON WHEELS EXHIBITED 4 THE GRAND CENTRAL DEPOT YESTERDAY, Yesterday afternoon the new postal ears built by the Hudson River and New York Central Railroad companies for the Post Office Department, and intended to run to Chicago in twenty-six hours, starting this morning, were placed on exhibition at the Grand Central depot They were four in number, named respectively Gov- ernor Dix, Goyernor Morgan, Governor Tilden and Governor Tod, of Ohio, Under charge of Depot Master Joseph Franklin the train started from the Grand Central depot with a dozen or so of passengers for the plains of Spuyten Duyvil, where it hauled up for about an hour and was photographed. All the cars were painted white, and made quite an odd and picturesque appearance. On the car “Governor Dix” there was a medallion in the middle inscribed above and below the title “United States Post Oifice.”” At the forward end another me- dallion was placed, illustrating the wondrous accom. plisiments of the modern postal system and embracing & badly constructed Latin inseripiion w the effect— “Novus ordo seciorum.”? At the latter end was an- other medallion with @ spread eagle aud shield, and the words “E Pluribus Unum.” On the car “Governor Morgan” the ornamentation consisted stuply of a me- dallion in the middle, with a wild spread eagle making a desperate effort to fondle a big United States shield. Underneath were the words “United States Post Office.” At both ends were medailions containing the figures in exaggerated size—‘702.". The “Governor Tod’ was precisely the same, and the ‘Governor Til- fa tlisag of @ similar character wo the ‘Governor 1x." INTERIORLY these cars were different. The cars called Tod and Morgan were for storage mails; Dix for letter and local paper mail, and Tilden for distribution of through | paper mail Two of the cars were bare, like freight cars, ut finely painted. In these cars it is intended to fling the heavy mail bags, and permit plenty of room to the postal cars to do the work of distributing the matter in- tended tor each station, The novelties in the interior arrangement of the cars were nothing striking. They were altogether what may be seen in the general Post Office, and the best way of describing this new experi- ment would be by saying that it is the Post Office on wheels. These four new cars are very little different from the postal cars that have been running on other roads for years past’ The Heratp idea of running & fast train to Buflalo suggested this present scheme of the Post Office, but it might as well explained that it ig not the Post Office that has built these cars. Mr. Vanderbilt, alter discovering the success of THE UMRALD ENTERPRISE in driving 4 train through to Buflalo at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and 4 expense that private enter- | prise could aiford to sUstain, concluded to aak the gov- ernment to be allowed to carry the mails at an equal rate of speed, He made the proposition and it was ac- cepted. The cars were built at the expense of the rail- road, but from designs furnished by the Post Office. A POST OFFICE NOTICE. At one end of the distribution car the following no- tice wag posted up:— Post Ovrick DxpartweNt Notick.—Railway Post Office clerks and route agents will allow no person to remain in their cars unless duly authorized. Any | failure to comply with the above order will be con- sidered a sufficient cause for removal. GEORGE 8. BANGS, Approved, General Superintendent K. M.'S. MARSHAL JEWELL, Postmaster General. THE EXCURSION PARTY RETURNING TO NEW YORK—OPINIONS OF THE CINCINNATI PAPERS. Prrrsevra, Pa, Sept. 15, 1875, The party who accompanied the fast limited mail to Cincinnati are here in a special car on their way back to New York, The Cincimnati afternoon press are pleased with the feat of putting New York papers in their hands in time for their earlier edition, but some of the morning papers are not. The Gazette thus utters its growl:—The point the Western newspapers make is that the special fast mail is put on to carry the New York papers, whose circula- tion ts local only, while Cincinnati morning papers, whose circulation is territorial as wide, do not have the favor and have w pay the expense of giving it to New York.” The Enquirer, in a spirit of appreciation of the ben- efit derived, says of it:—"'This tip has demonstrated that the Post Olfice Department has been compelled to follow the lead of the New York Hekaup in bringing great cities nearer together. It is understood that trains | will start both ways on Thursday next, and if we | cannot return the compliment by putting 28,000 | copies of the Enquirer in the State of New York to convert the wise men of the East who gather about the cradle of the New York Manhattan Clab and the hard money democracy of Gramercy Park, we can, at least, throw our intlation flag tn the face of the Empire City und ery, ‘Rise ap, Willum Allen! more money and more rapid inter-communication between sister cities,’ The party will leave for New York this morning, and if on time will arrive there at twenty-live minutes past teu A. M. on Thursday. TORPEDO EXPERIMENTS, ADMIRAL PORTER TESTING HIS NEW INVENTIONS. Newrort, R. L, Sept 15, 1875, Admiral Porter, Captain K. R. Breeze, commandant of torpedo station; Lieutenant F. M. Barber, in com- | mand of torpedo boat, and Lieutenant F. H. Paine, of | the same vessel, went out this morning in one of the torpedo station steam launches to test two improve- ments of Admiral Porter's for placing torpedoes under an enemy's vessel. The first experiment was an im- provement on the spar torpedo. The torpedo contained twelve pounds of powder, and was quickly lowered from the end of a spar instead of by the old fashioned and more clumsy method. The launch steamed at the raft at full speed, and ata signal given by Admiral Porter the torpedo wus lowered. and exploded in five seconds under the raft, the débris of which flew in all directions. This experiment was considered a success. The second experiment was by a was attached toa jaunch was run alonside of a raft, and at a signal given by the Admiral the torpedo was allowed to d: and was sustained at five feet below the surface by a small float arranged by Lieutenant Paine, The boat attaining its full speed steamed away from the raft, and unreel- ing a wire attached to the torpedo by means of which, when at fifty yards from the raft, it was exploded by electricity. Tho raft was blown high in the air, some of the pieces going as high as 100 feet. The ad- vantages of this plan over others are greater safety of the attacking boat, which would eseape before the enemy had an opportunity to fire at them in the old method, THE PARK THEATRE. There was no performance of “The Mighty Dollar” at the Park Theatre last night, owing to financial dift- culties of the management. Deputy Sheritf Campbell held an execution against Mr, William Stuart, the manager, and shortly before the performance was to | begin he seized upon the furniture and other stago properties necessary for the piece and removed them. The first notice Mr. and Mrs. Florence had of the action was upon repairing to | the theatre in the evening to prepare for the | performance. A good audience gathered to see the Jiece, but was turned away with the announcement that Mrs. Florence was ill, This announcement ought not to have been made and was entirely unauthorized by Mr, or Mrs. Florence, The accident to the manage- ment was a yreat disappointinent to the Florences, as their new piece was beginning to take a decp hold upon the public and promised ty have a very successful run, ‘The following card from Mr. Stuart explains iteelf:— Park Thxarne, Wednesday night, To te Eorror ov THe Heraio:— I desire to say that proceedings arising out of law- | suits connected with the theatre prevented the Park | Theatre opening this evening. It was a matter with which Mr. and Mrs. Florence were wholly unconnected, and which belonged exclusively to me. Performance will, of course, be resumed this (Thursday) evening, Your obedient servant, W. STUART, THE QUARANTINED VESSELS. The steamship Columbus and the Norwegian bark Falken, a# announced in yesterday's Hunay, are de- tained at the Lower Quarantine on account of sickness among the crew, The former vessel was bound to th port from Havana, The assistant steward and two waiters, having a light attack of fever, were removed to Dix {sland Hospital and will soon recover. The bag. gage was passed yesterday and arrived at pior 13 North River about four o’clock, The steamer has been fumigated and will discharge to-day. The case,of the Faiken is much worse, all but two of the crew being very ill. The fever broke out three days after leaving Wilmington, N. C., and they were obliged to put into this port in distress, Six of the crew are reported to be very low and their condition is regarded as dangerous, The vessel is bound for Rove dain via London, She will be obliged to remain here several days, until her crew recover or until she can procure enough hands to enable her to proceed on her Journey.

Ye 18, 1875. ork Board of THE INDIAN FRAUDS. Statement of Indian Commissioner Smith Before the Commission, A GENERAL DENIAL OF CHARGES. Old Stereotyped Complaints, Not Worthy of Attention. The Red Cloud Commission met at one o'clock to-day. Senator Howe, who arrived here last night, was a mem- ber of it, Commissioner of Indian Affairs Smith read @ statement in reply to the allegations of Professor Marsh against him. He commences by stating that about the 20th of April last Professor Marsh came to his office, bringing packages of coffee, sugar, tobacco and flour, which he had brought from the Red Cloud Agency, but said that he had not in any way tested these samples by comparison with sup- plies which were then being issued by the agent, and that he did not put great confidence in Red Cloud’s statement concerning samples, Professor Marsh made no charges of fraudulent — transac- tions on the part of Agent Saville ex copt in the name of Red Cloud, say. ing that Red Cloud claimed and repeatedly declared that his agent was cheating them. The inter- view with Professor Marsh, as far as the Commissioner was concerned, was a pleasant one, and had been brought about because of the Commissioner's request to Professor Marsh some time previous to observe at the agency anything deserving of attention that needed correction and to make a note of it for the Commis- sioner’s information. The next morning an account of this interview appeared in a New York paper, giving an incorrect and entirely unfair version of it, which had been made the text of some very se- vere, unjust criticisms of the Interior Department, and especially of the Commissioner’s official action, In these attacks of the press great emphasis was laid upon the qualities of the supplies, which, according to Red Cloud’s samples, had been furnished to the Indians, ‘The newspaper version was so far from being true, and the eriticiams and charges founded upon it so unjust, that the Commissioner was sure Professor Marsh would be mortified by the false attitude in which he had been placed toward the Commissioner, who confidently ex- pected, as a matter of courtesy and houor, that the Professor would at once correct them, especially in view of the fact that all the information given to the press on this subject had come exclusively from himself, and that he was known to be in intimate relations with the paper in which it ap- peared; but Professor Marsh did not make any such correction. On the contrary, ne allowed the con- tinued misrepresentation, based ‘upon an incorrect ver- sion of the matter, and especially based on the samples he had brought, w’ receive a very wide circulation of the press, without any denial from himself, A few days afterward Professor Marsh was invited before the Board of Indian Commissioners, to whom he gave a much more extended account of his Red Cloud obser- vations and inferences, which resulted in the appointment of a commission to inquire into the whole matter and report the facts. While the Commission was being formed Professor Marsh was in Washington and was present at a council held with Red Cloud and his delegates, for the special pur- pose of hearing what’ complaints he had to make respecting his supplies and his agent ‘The opportunity given to that chief and his band to stute their grievances was most ample. The record of the council would show that Red Cloud’s grievances, as presented in person, were not serious, and that no com- plaint was made by him against his agent until drawo out from him by the inquiry of Professor Marsh, “Whether he was perfectly satisfied with his agent?”? Relative to the ailegations of inferior supplies furnished the Red Cloud Agency, the Commissioner says that the purchases were made on contracts entered into in pursuance of bids offered and publicly read in New York, on the 2d day of July, 1874. The award of the contracts was made in accordance with the advice of the Board of In- dian Commissioners, who had before them all the bids, and upon the judgment of the inspec- tors’ of the samples, as to which _ offered the best values, and, bids in each case for the government to accept, The supplies were, in the judgment of the Commissioner, fully equal in grades to those in use by the great ma- jority of the laboring people in this country, and were ‘of the quaiity which ought to have been satisfactory to the Indians. The Indian Bureau took ail reasonable and necessary means to protect the government from imposition and fraud and to secure the delivery of the proper articles for the use of the Indians. DENIAL OF CHARGES. The Commissioner then states at length three charges of fraud and wrong which Professor Marsh endeavors to fasten upon the Indian officer:—First, as to shielding contractors by false statements; second, that he had been made acquainted with the wrongs at the Red Cloud Agency, but had taken no measures to prevent them; and third, of fraud or connivance with fraud’ in connection with the transportation ser v To these charges the Commissioner gives an emphatic denial, and shows they are not true, The Commissioner says that Professor Marsh is entirely wrong when he imputed to him any unworthy motives for the part he had taken in relation to his complaints respecting Indian affairs Professor Marsh’s statements and complaints were so much after the old stereotyped form with which the Commissroner had become familiar, and which every man seems to learn by heart the first day out of Cheyenne, that he did not attach much value to them, and it was, therefore, not unlikely that he showed the feelings which would be natural when he suspected that Professor Marsh had come as the bearer of Red Cloud’s complaints, because of his belief that Red Cloud had been badly treated and that the Indians had gotten the better of the Professor. The Commissioner says he is not aware of any expression, by word or otherwise, on his part, from which Professor Marsh was entitled to infer that he de- sires to prevent publicity or exposure of fraud, He did charge Professor Marsh with want of courteous and honorable treatment to him and the department in al Jowing such public statements on his authority without the slightest proof having been offered to the Commis- sioners or any one else to sustain them, and when he himself did not claim to know, from personal observa- tion, that the statements made in connection with his name and his visit w the Red Cloud Agency and his bringing the samples to the Indian Office were true. The Commissioner asked the Commission, in making up their findings on Professor Marsh’s charges, to weigh well the condition of suspicion and distrust in which the Department of the Interior had been placed, the shock and horror which those charges have given to the minds of many of the best citizens of the evantry, and the destructive blow which has been struck at public confidence in the possibitity of Indian civilization and honest government; and might he not also claim the right to consider his own case in relation to Professor Marsh's statements ? THR COMMISSIONER'S AMBITION. ‘He had but one desire or ambition as a Commissioner of Indian Affuirs, and that was to do something to lift 270,000 people out of a barbarous and sermi-barbarous condition into Christianity, civilization and Ameriean citizenship. He knew that he despised wrong and meanness, and that, in his estimation, there was noth- ing meaner than’ to defraud an ignorant, wretched or helpless man, and that no inducement could be offered to make him desire to shield rom exposure and punishment any man guilty of such crime. Up tothe present time he had enjoyed the reputation among @ large circle of acquaintances of being an honest man, That reputation wus all that he had of any value, Professor Marsh had, in fact, though probably without intention, done ail thata man in his position could do to destroy the Cormmissioner’s name and take from him that which he prizes above all earthly things—namely, the good opinion of good men. The Commissioner invited the attention of the Com- mission to the provision of law defining the powers of the Board of Indian Commissioners and of the Secretary of the Interior in regard to vouchers for Indian sup plies, from which it appears the Secretary has power to sustain, set aside or modify the action of the Board and cause payment to be made or withheld, as he may determine. The Commission in conclusion, notices several other complaints, and also says there was no loss in receiving cattle beyond the one twenty- fourth part provided for by the contract. On the con- trary, at several agencies there was a decided inerease in weight which the cattle took on after their delivery by the contractor. ‘The statement of the Commissioner was ordered to be printed. The Commission will interrogate the Commissioner | on the points presented, and Professor Marsh has some | questions to ask him, The Commissioner was usked by | Mr. Faulkner, of the Comm therefore, constituted the best | plies before they are issued at agency, The Commissioner replied that he aid | not know there was such a treaty stipulation, The Commissioner was further asked whether there was any necessity for employing @ | frewht contractor, to which question the Commis- sioner resi “i at some length, showing that, in his opinion, t rnment is served betwer in that way than in’any other, ‘The Commission to-night examined Mr. Brevier, who was Indian Inépector in the section where Mr, Bosler | supplied cattle, He testified, among other things, that | Mr. Bosler discharged his obligations with fidelity, and he did not believe, from Mr. Bosler’s character, that he would engage in a fraud of any kind. The Commission | expect to close the investigation here to-morrow or the next day. THE EVENING The evening schools will be opened on Monday, SCHOOLS. October 4, and the principals will be in attendance to | F examine pupils applying for admission for a period of two weeks, beginning on Monday. Besides the Even- ing High School in West Thirteenth street, which also opens October 4, there are ninetoen schools for males, thirteen for females and two colored schools, THE BLACK HILLS NEGOTIATIONS. THE PLACE OF COUNCIL FINALLY AGREED UPON— TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND ABORIGINES IN AT- TENDANCE—THE INDIANS PREPARED TO RE~ SPOND TO THE WISHES OF THE GOVERNMENT. Rep Croup Aakxey, Sept. 14, Via Fort Lanamix, Wy. T., Sept. 15, 1875. It having been finally determined to hold a council at the mouth of the White Clay Creek, six miles northeast of this post, the Indians are all moving in this direction, The Missouri River Indians and those of the Spotued Tail Agency are expected here —_ to-night. The commission is now awaiting General Terry from St. Paul, who is due here to-morrow, Senator Allison says that as Senator Howe has returned to Washington he is unwilling to proceed wiih negotiations until Terry arrives. A great’ many Indians are becoming dissatis- fled with the delay, as those living at & great distance are desirous of return- ing home before the cold weather sets in. The attachés of this agency are constantly besieged by Indians in- quiring as to the cause of the delay and when the Council will begin, The commission has been together three weeks now, and thus far has accomplished nothing beyond having informal talks with the Indians who have vieited’ them, at none ot which was a word said about be age J ny 2 a day for beginning the Council; consequently the Indians have been left in utter ignorance on that point. On Satur- day 550 head of beef were issued to the Indians, and yesterday a large train with additional supplies came in from Cheyenne, Thus far no definite amount has been spoken of as THE PURCHASE PRICE of the Black Hills country, and on this point the In- dians are very anxious. ‘they are perfectly willing to sell and will take whatever ts offered them, as they say the white men will occupy that country anyway. ” It is thought the commission will not offer the Indians much money, but will provide for their sustenance for a long ‘term of years, which arrangement would be preferable for all parties, as the government must support them in any case. ‘A large delegation of Mis- souri River Indians waited on tho commission last Saturday and expressed MUCH DISSATISFACTION, because the Cominissioners had not moved to Shadron Creek, twenty-five miles from here and half way to the Spotted Tail Agency, as they said, Rev, Mr. Hinman, of the Commissioners, had told them last summer that the Council would be held there, Spotted Tail presented them last week with 120 horses, with the understanding that they were to insist upon the Council being held a@ Shadron Creek. Upon the occasion of their visit on Saturday Red Cloud's band also presented them with a large number of horses, ge Kidder, a delegate to Congress from Dakota, and Mr. Steele, delegate from Wyoming, are here, They expect to remain until the close of the Council. Mr. J. D, Terrill, of the ‘Treasury Department, is also here, accompanied by his wife. THR NUMBER OF INDIANS. who will attend the Council is estimated to be about 25,000, Their camps extend for a distance of about forty miles along White Barth River and the Bluffs. This vicinity is covered with their ponies, each head ofa family owning on an average fifty ponies, These are all in excellent condition, and the Indians them- selves are well clothed and healthy looking, An In- dian girl was accidentally shot near the entrance to the agency stockade, on Saturday night, by an Indian, the ball grazing her chin, SHIPPING NEWS OCEAN STEAMERS, DATES OF DEPARTURE PROM NEW YORK FOR THE MONTHS Steamer.
