THE BAND OFFERS NO RESISTANCE.

A Resolution for an Investigation Into the Muniier of the Death or Sitting Hull Presented in the

House.

GATIIEUKP IX.

PINK Rinr.u AGENCY, S. D., Dee. 28.— Sitting Bull's band of 150 waiTiors, led ly Hig Foot, have just surrendered to Colonel Sumner, who with B00 soldiers succeeded in surrounding them in the vicinity of Standing' Rock while they were making for the Had Lands. The Had Lands leaders counted upon 300 Indians from Standing Rock, including Sitting Bull's band of 200 Indians from the Cheyenne agency, and llump and Big Foot's braves at Cherry creek, and accessions from northern agencies which would have swelled the hostile camps to over 1,000. "llad the conjunction been effected," said General Miles, "theso Indians, in the absence of military protection, could have massncred as many settlers as the Sioux did in the Minnesota troubles of 18(12."

Colonel Sumner in his dispatch announcing the capture of Big Foot, says: "This cleans up the Indians along the Cheyenne." lie has orders to take the Sitting Jiull and Big Foot parties into Fort Meade, or if more practicable to Pierre.

General Brooke wires that Turning Bear with his band, the advance of the Pine Ridge delegation to the hostile camps, has arrived at the Bad Lands. General Brooke has sent word of the surrender of the Silting Bull people and Big Foot and thinks this news will aid his ambassadors in their work of hurrying in the recalcitrants. Brave Bear, the Pine Uidge policeman, who brought in the Indians who precipitated the dilliculty at the agenoy by drawing a knife and assaulting a policeman, says that Short Bull wants to leave the Bad Lauds, while Kicking Bear insists upon defiance. The Indians here, he says, believe that the party who went out will at least succeed in aiding Short Bull to come in with his followers. Oeneral Miles is of the opinion that the death of Sitting Bull left the hostile conspiracy without a head, and that ar. early surrender of the hostiles is probable.

Stands First, widely known as one of the most sagacious of Indian scouts, has returned from a spying errand to the hostile camp. General Brooke sent him out last Thursday, and he spent all of Saturday in the hostile camp. When lie attempted to present to them' the peaceful mission on which ho hud been sent the Indians leveled their guns at him and his voice was drowned in the -babel of their war cries. Then one of the leaders among the liostiles said to him that they would listen to no more peace talk, and they would never again allow an advocate of peace to leave their camp alive. The statements they made a week ago to the big peace party sent out to parley with them to the effect that the white soldiers were cowards and afraid to fight them were reiterated with vehemence. They called Stands First a woman and the slave of the white man. Stands First asked them what would become of their wives and families hi aasc the soldiers came after them, and the hostiles replied they had been ready for a month to show how they could protect them. He says there area few In the hostile camp who would be willing to come in but a great majority he thinks will not.

RAPID CITV. S. I)., Dec. S3.—Reports from the Bad Lands say that on Sunday ten cowboys went down near Battlo creek draw, where there are a large number of hostiles encamped on the reservation. They concealed themselves on Bear crock, and hud not waited long until eight Indians rode slowly up the draw aud dismounted and unsaddled. The cowboys slowly crept upon the bluff and poured a volley of lead into them, one Indian dropping dead. The others were so frightened that they lied for their lives, the cowboys shooting until they were out of range. The cowboys captured seven fine saddles nnd three good Indian ponies.

Monday morning Mr. McCormack came and reported that during the night, while he was away from his ranch, hostile Indians shot it to pieces and shot the windows out. They cut all his grain sacks and scattered the grain all over the ground and destroyed the furniture. Tho great hindrance to their capture is that after coming out thieving and destroying property they return to their reservation, where the troops can not follow, there being strict orders against it..

WASHINGTON-, Dec. 2:).—Major-Gener-al Seliofleld lias received the following dispatch dated Rapid City, S. D., December 33, from General Miles: "I bollevc nil or very nearly all of the followers of Sitting Hull have been captured. Colonel Sumner reports the capture of Big Pool's band of Sioux numbering 150. He has been one of the most defiant and threatening. Tho lesult so far has been satisfactory."

Commenting on General Miles' telegram, General Sehofield said he thought it wOuld not be very long before all the Indians now in revolt would be captured and the Indian troubles, for the winter at least, brought to an end.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The Commissioner of Indian Affairs lias received from Indian Agent McLaughlin a report dated Fort Yates, Standing Rock Agency, December 10, of the fight between the Indian police and the folnvers of Sitting Bull on tjie 15th in-t-tnnt.

Ailer giving in detail the now familiar btory of the battle, and the death of the famous chief, Agent McLaughlin speaks in the very highest terms of the judgment and bravery of the Indian police and 'lie strongly urges the Government to give them lorae substantial reward for theil bervices. lie also urges that a gen

CRA.WFORDSV1LLE, INDIANA. TUESDAY DECEMBER 23, l«90

erous allowance be made for the families of those who are dead. He asks the co-operation of the Interior and War departments in obtaining prompt Congressional action "which will secure to these brave survivors and to the families of the dead a full and generous roward."

Besides the Indian police there were four volunteers, viz.: Grey Eagle, who Is one of the judges of tho court of Indian offenses Spotted Thunder, Otter ltobe and Voung Kagle, who participated in the fight, rendering good service and deserving like recognition. Grey Eagle's two sisters are Sitting Bull's wives. Until about seventeen months ago he was Sitting Bull's main support.

A large majority of the Indians at-the Standing Rook agency, the agent says, are loyal to the Government, and universal satisfaction is expressed by them, as it ends the ghost craze here. "WhiU this conflict," says Agent McLaughlin, "causing the loss of our best, most noble policemen, is to be very much regretted, yet the great good accomplished by the ending of Sitting Bull's career, whose infiuence has been of such a retarding nature, and the determination 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 General Rup-er, dated St. Paul, December 12: "To COMMANDING OrncKn. FOKTVATES, N. D.: The division commander has directed that you make it your sptclul duty to secure the person of Sitting Bull. Call on Indian agent to co-operate and rondcr such assistance as will best promote the purposes In view."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Mr. Blanchard (La.) has introduced in the House a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of five members of the House-to inquire into and investigate the killing of Sitting Bull and the immediate causes leading to his death, and whether a state of war existed which justified his summary taking off and if not wlmt justification there was. if any. for his violent death at the hands of the Indian police of the Government. The resolution charges the committee with the further duty of investigating the threatened Indian outbreak, and the causes thereof, and whether neglect by the Government of its treaty obligations with the Indians, or the tardy, or inadequate fulfillment of such obligations on the part of the Government, had any thing to do with the turbulent state of affairs existing among the Indians. A preamble to the resolution says that the killing of Sitting Bull appears to have been accomplished under circumstances recognized neither by the laws of peace nor those of war. A similar resolution was introduced by Mr. McAdoo (N. J.)

VOORHEES' VOICE.

Senator Higgins (Del.) spoke in favor of the elections bill. He was followed by Senator Voorliees (hid.) who criticised President Harrison for that portion of his message to Congress urging the passage of the election bill. If Mr. Harrison, lie said, should undertake to put on the stage "A School for Hypocrisy" he could not do better than dramatize tlmt portion of his mesbage that relates to fair and honest elections. The rank corruption of the Presidential election of |S8s wasresting folded aivay in "blocks of live" and was still fresh and carefully preserved in the minds of the American people.

Senator Voorliees charged that within sixty days after the incoming of the present Administration an extensive, powerful and corrupt conspiracy was formed to import a certain class of voters from distant parts of the country into the States of Indiana. West Virginia and Connecticut in order to secure majorities in those. States for the Republican ticket in isf»2. The proof of it had been published in the Now York World 011 the 4th of October last, including a letter from Mr. Huston, Treasurer of the I'liited States, to Mr. Lindsay, the author of the plan, "declnriug himself heartily in favor of the scheme" and s:-ying that he would speak to the 1 resident, about it. It was painful. Senator Voorliees remarked. t- iv licet that the man who knew Benjamin Harrison better Ihnn any other man in public life knew him. wiio hud carried him and his fortunes through the stormy and corrupt campaign in IS88 in Indian. who had studied him and hia political methods nt close range, fjjt himself wnrranitcd in submitting for his consideration and approval a corrupt project for the overthrow of honest resident majorities by the shameless importation and colonization of black voter- froin the South. And yet that man i.Mr. Huston) retained his high office, had met. with no rebuke and continued to bask in executive favor and confidence. The names of Mr. Dudley ahd Senator Quay (Pa.) having been introduced in connection with this schema fcH- colonizing negro voters in Indiana, Senator Voorliees said that he took no pleasure in commenting

The bill now before the. Senate, he said, and which was made an Administration measure, would take control (by force if necessary) of the elections of every State. Benjamin Harrison, I10 said, had rc-ordcil his distrust of tlip people of all the Slates, and the people on their part, in nearly every commonwealth of the I'nion. had with unparuileled unanimity recorded their distrust of him and of his Administration.
