More Pow 1Tou)e to be Held at PineRldge for the Santee Agenoy Pine Ridgo Agency (Dak special to the Omaha Beet No council has been held between the commission and the Indians since the big council on riday which lied Cloud failed to attend and no more will be held without the Indians particularly desire it The Indians con tinue to hold small councils with them selves and have talks with members bi the commission The wisdom of the commission in discontinuing the council where the Indians could daily harrangue each other to fight the bill and repeat their imaginary grievances of former treaties not and declaring the government must wait till their children are educated to make this treaty is al ready having its effect and bearing fruit A number of chiefs who were opposed and always spoke in Connoil against it are now inclined to favor the bill Aniobg those are Young Man Afraid Littlb Wound and High Wolf Their action will bring a largo following The Cheyennes are acting independently and will sign almost to a mnn The commission concluded to divide yesterday Governor oster and a por tion of the clerical force will leave for Santee agency to day where it is under stuod the Santecs are willing and wait ing to sign the bill The governor will take the private car nt Rushville which will take him to the nearest point to his destination and then be returned for the other members of the commission who will have the governor join them on their way to the upper Missouri agencies General Crook and Major Warner with the indefatiga ble Captain Roberts of General staff and others with the commission will remain here to complete the work which will possibly take them a week as the commission fully realizes that it is useless to try and hurry the Indians here The more this is done the more unsatisfactory the result as they become onlv the more snsm'cious and obstinate While the influence of Red Cloud may be scoffed at and deified there is no doubt ho still has great influence over a larjjo following and it will take time patience and work to undermine this in fluence and convince the average Indian that the day of chieftainship 14 passed end ho bus a right to think and act for hiinsolf This is being daily done here and many converts are be ing made to the now order of things so the best results may be hop ed from the work of the oom mission There is now no doubt that this

definitely known that prior to the arrival of the oommwionera a combination was formed at this nkeucy with Bed Cloud at the head pledged to oppose the bill and not oven to consider it This explains

in tlje corridors a great crowd made up in the main of men whose coun tenances denoton their Celtic origin struggled and tore and beat in vain against the barred doors Sullivan escorted by Sheriff Matson and two deputies was brought in by a private entrance lie was a shade paler than usual and at the audible commo motion caused by his appearance his eye swept the crowd as if in apprehen sion of a hostile demonstration Then i he took a seat among his array of coun sel Three was the hour that had been fixed by Judge Tuley for ren I dering the decision but that hour came I and went by and still hi honor was abr 1 sent As minutes went by Sullivan became perceptibly nervous and his ag itation was communicated to the spec tators All sorts of rumors went around the room concerning the delay but the turn of conversation stopped like a clock when at 3:45 the judge made his appear ance Without any delay he plunged into the case Having explained' the petition and the law upon which it wAs based he proceeded to briefly review the testimony taken before the jury and which had covered 1100 pages of type written copy Hequoted copiously from the evidence of the witnesses to whom Cronin had said that Alexander Sullivan would! be the cause of his death and that the latter had instigated a con spiracy to kill him None of this evi dence he said' would lie admitted in a court of law This excluded there was practically no evidence against him It was conceded' that Sullivan was an en emy of It was also conceded that Cronin was a bitter enemy of Sul There were several theories of the murder One was that ho was mur dered by pooplo for revenge growing out of society troubles Assuming this to be so what evidence was there iden tifying Sullivan with the crime He was not shown to be connected with the renting of the cottage or the hiring of the horse and buggy It was not shown that he knew O'Sullivan or that he had met any of the other prisoners Ne act could bo timcofl home to him The that Cronin was killed to prevent' the exposure ot secrets ot be trian gle was unreason li appear that Croniu was posfiessiop of any vital facts All he had would have been in existence after his death He could not have taken them with him All of the evidence taken at tlie Buffalo inves tigation was in the possession of Dr MoOaliey of Philadelphia and others Asto the theory that it was perpetrated as a result of a decree of the Clan Na Gael the facts stood out that Sullivan had severed his connection with that or der years ago How then could he in fluence or control it It was not shown he hul ever met or had any business dealings with any of the other con spirators The jury was influenced by hearsay testimony The strongest evi dence against Sullivan was fur nished by himself It was the protest is sued five days after the disap pearance against his sitting on the Sul livan trial committee It was couched in language of extraordinary virulence and hatred But this very public action at such a time tended to show Sullivan had no knowledge of the conspiracy It seemed incredible that if he was a party to it he wdnhl promulgate such a document right after the murder The evidence pointed to Sullivan as a manwho desired revenge of Cronin but it pointed to no overt act No impartial man could make up his mind that any jury would convict Sullivan on his evi dence The mere fact that one party was an enemy of the man killed was no proof that he was a participant in the murder He had therefore come to the conclusion and not without very considerable hesitation that a bail to such an extent as to insure his appear ance 'should an indictment be found should bo accepted Sullivan preserved his usual cool stolid demeanor when the oonclusion was announced and an attempt to ap plaud was suppressed by the bailiffs There was an argument between the state attorney and Mr Trude aa to the amount of bail The latter who said Sullivan was almost entirely without means thought $5000 to $10000 suffi cient inally $20000 was agreed uori The four gentlemen named swore to the aggregate possession of over $500000 of real estate the bonds were made out and signed and Sullivan walked out of the

same time the most satisfactory as it baa devel oped one of the most talented lawyers' in the tribe a man whose shrewdness is a match for the ordinary white lawyer It also revealed the further fact of the perfect nature of the three parts of the commission which are as perfectly fit together for this work as the metals in an electric belt All are necessary This afternoon at the request of American Horse The commission met the Indians in council and conducted an examination into the merits of the preseiit bill After American Horse had asked some questions in relation to the issue of oxen instead of horses as requested by them while in Washington recently and mentioned the map which showed the reservation colored in dark red Raying he had lain awake many niglits thinking about this matter but still could not understand it Major War ner addressed the council firing some what of humor at them He also ex plained the little box shaped piece which shows on the map as land belong ing to Nebraska but which was in cluded in the reservation to prevent the white men selling whisky to the In dians This brought out the question of lines which again and again came up in the discussion When Major Warner at tempted nil ex planation of this matter American Horse coolly informed him he thought he knew nothing nt all about the matter He asked General Crook what he knew about the matter receiving a reply that the general knew nothing The general further in formed them that he had asked the of the inferior to have the line surveyed nnd when the line is thus surveyed it will lie permanent When the general spoke of surveying with air instrument working by the stars Ameri can Horse said he guessed the stars jumped about a great deal when some lines were run The misunderstanding about the lin arises from the old agree ment made at the time of the treaty of 1868 whereby the Indians were allowed hunting privileges south to the Republi can river though the reservation line was then fixed as far north as the Ne braska line This right to hunt was re linquished1 later asmentionedby Red Cloud the other day American Horse sjaike of the pleas ures of meeting with friends and refer red to tlie adoption of Governor oster into the tribe by the name of Man of His Tail and hoped he would not soon desert them He also took consideration of Major Warner nnd informed him that there were many fine horses here and beautiful women who would Ire happy to ride out with him nnd entertaiil him no he hoped they w'ouldlie in no bnrry to leave soon but would remain long enough to have this matter thoroughly ohscussed Ho also asked them to telegfliph to the great father ami ask him to find some one who knew about the line of the reservation This wks explained as unnecessary to which American Horse said he was glad to know this commission were honest When he had asked the other commis sioners to telegraph to the great father they had said: apd then gone away into a room and written out a dispatch which they brought back say ing: is what the greet father says now do not be afraid of anything here for nothing shall mar the peace of this hour was his assurance" Governor oster also spoke to them at length concerning their requests and promising to use hie influence to have them granted by the great father and also explained the conditions under which they took the signatures of the squaw men and half breeds The coun cil took on the nature of a conversation each one speaking briefly American Horse asking questions and making statements quaintly illustrated by na own references and the commis sion each taking turns answering ques tions Red Cloud asked for a council with General Crook from which he desired even the official stenographer should be excluded This left the correspondents on the fence to look with longing eyes across the green wheye on immense concourse was in council with the gen eral At this council Red Cloud wai the principal speaker He persisted in misinterpreting the treaty of 1868 and i ns it had agreed ne am not want nny tinuing he grew very angry and im pertinent ordering all those who came with this commission to leave the res ervation nnd at once too General Crook called a halt at this juncture nnd told Red Cloud some of the past parts of his history with which he was familiar He also mentioned why he issued the order to seize all of the Indian ponies nnd leave them afoot because Red Cloud would not listen to reason but his intention of go ing on the war path The general also gave other instances of the duplicity of Red Cloud in the past transactions he had with him and expressed his ob vious desire in this case to obtain all the rewards The council broke up by a sugges tion of General Crook that thoge who desired should go to the office and sign and others who were opposed should so state This led to regular stampede of Red Big nnd Little bands passing through the office in single file to the number of nearly four hundred each one declaring himself opposed to tugning A notable exception to the action of these Sioux is that of the Cheyennes who held a council in the afternoon and decided to sign in a body These

meeting the scouts Governor oster and Major War ren held a council with the other In dians headed by American Horse who was their spokesman The meeting was opened by him de siring that the several tracts of lan'd al loted to each one by the severalty clause should be measured and staked so that all could see how much land it contained This request being granted American Horse continued: am going to feed you on the minds of my people every day but I will try to not overfeed you and make you sick I do not say this for your displeasure but forthe sake of your reputations We do not wish to tire yon but we are a slow people and want time to thor oughly understand this matter before we decide Then if they decide to sign it is well if not to sign well and good it will be our fault not yours The lines of the res ervation as he understood it at the time of the 1868 treaty were then given nnd the truth of this assertion left to any Indians afany agency to be visited Tlie line of the reservation in the 1876 treaty was also traced and described These things we supposed were done and never would be changed for we thought that when the Indian put down his name it would be forever If there is a white man now living who saw this line we would like him brought here Yon are high people at alluding to the former offices held by thmh I want this matter to be well known so that when we decide it will not hurt your reputations at home Let us ac cept this or not in forty years from now we will remember you and if we make a mistake we will not blame you at all We must have plenty of time so that there will lie no trouble hereafter If yon get homesick for your children we will loan you our children If yon get lonesome for your wives we will loan you our wives to run about with yon
