The first council with the Indians was ^eld^t Rosebud Agency. Some of the chiefs were stubborn, or pretended to be so, at the start, but tbrou h the influence largely of Gen. Crook a sufficient number of them were induced to affix their signa­ tures to the treaty to insure its ratifica­ tion. Gen. Crooks well-known prol ity had a wonderfully good influence with the Tndians. They kno«r him well as their friend, and when told by him that this was a good bill they had faith in his as­ sertions. One Indian, a spokesman of the Ogallalas, came in from his band to infoim the General that his band would Bign if he would assure tbem of his (Crook's) approval of the bill, and this is but one example of what he has done with all the bands. Of active personal contact with the Indians Gov. Foster and Maj. Warner had none except in general council. While as enthusiastic and as earnest in the work, they were | fit rangers to the Indians' customs, and | were looked upon with more suspicion than one whom they know as they know Gen. Crook, who has been their good friend in the past. The confidence which the Indians have in Gen. Crook's entire disinterestedness made him the speaker for the commission. The General made fi speech to the Indians in which he ex- Eressed his sorrow that they should treat im so badly when they knew he was their friend. He reieried to the time when he was in charge of the entire Sioux Nation, and appointed military offi­ cers to be their agents, and aAked: "Did 1 not get you rations then? Did you ever fo hungry when I was here? Now, when come back after eleven years 11 find you here, and yon tell me you are my friends. Have yon treated' me like a friend?" Speeches were made by the most stren­ uous opposers to the bill--Hollow Horn Boar, Two Strikes, and Yellow Hair. The first speech was made by Two Strikes, briefly in the following language: "What I said the other day, the same I say to­ day. There were some payment* which you promit-ed me under the treaty of 1868 for thirty years to come. Now, when there are ten years yet to come in which we are to receive annuity goods and all those things which you promised me, you come with another treaty. We all remem­ ber that other treaty. You say this treaty1 and the one of 1868 along hand in hand I cannot understand this. My thought and that of my people is to have payment for the goods as promised in 1*68. I have heard about John Giass (Charging Bear) asking for $1.25 for thi6 land in Washington, but.I know nothing about this. I ask for 25 cents more, so our young men can have money to buy better clothes. Tell this to your Great Father, and see what he says. If he says give 25 cents more we will'sign." Yellow Hair, who has always opposed the treaty, said: "I want to be a white man and work like a white man, as my Great Father asks me to. I want, when I wqrk, to get good pay for it, and to learn to be a blacksmith, carpenter, and so forth. When I was in Washington the Great Father took me around and was a friend to me. He promised me many 1 things, but we did not get them. Why I did they lie to us? Some white men come here and are good to us and are our friends. We are glad when such men come here and are their friends. I shake hands with you with a good heart. You give me cations and I am glad. We must proposed reserva vation for this agency.l He, then ex­ plained fully the provisions of the pres­ ent bill, and pointed out the difference between the present and last year's bill. He concluded: "We are not here to ask your consent if you are unwilling to give it, but the Great Father and all your friends among the white men believe this bill is a good one for you." Major Warner then Bpoko to the In­ dians. He said: "My friends, the days of war are past, and the days of peace be­ tween the white men and the red men have come. The Great Father sends us here to-day to talk with you as one friend talks with another. The day is past when you can live by hunting, and now you can only live as tbe white man does --bv tilling the soil. The Great Father wishes that your sons shall be taught how to farm and become mechanics, and your daughters shall become your school teachers, and that the money which is now paid to the white men shall be paid to your own people, and that you shall become citizens as the white men. He has sent us to you to tell of this bill, and we can neiiber add to it nor take any­ thing." The following d»y another council was held at which Old-Man-Afraid-of-His Horses, Red Cloud, Little Wound, Blue Horse, Youug-M an-Afraid-of-His-Horses, and other chiefs Bpoke. Their talk was a rehearsal of their individual views as to the promises of the treaty of 1868, which have not been fulfilled. They spoke at length with the evi.ient intent of using np time aud preventing an im­ mediate decision. When they finished, Maj. Warner ex­ plained the provisions of that treaty. Gen. Crook then talked to them much in the same way as at Rosebud, and in addi­ tion explained the part of the bill in ref­ erence to paying Red Cloud for his ponies, and told them to be careful of any men who wanted to get any of this money; that advice from such me a was not worth much; that while he thought it was for the interest of all of them that the bill should be accepted, still the Com­ missioners wanted t) em to do as each thought best. He concluded by saying that tbe bill was ready for signatures. No Flesh was the first to touch the pen. About forty signed in twenty min­ utes, when further action was defertad for tha d»y.„ Obstinate Chiefs. A dispatch of Thursday, June 20, from Pine Ridge Agency, states that Gov. Foster opened the council oft Wednesday by inviting any Indians desiring informa­ tion to speak. After counseling nmong themselves for some time Old-Man- Afraid- of-His-Horses, now over 80 yenrs old, arose and said that tbe paper in his hand was given him at the time of the treaty of 1868, in Fort Laramie. "It means," he said, "that nfter cultivating the ground ' of eight gener-tions we were to become self-supporting. There are twenty-one years more due on that treaty and "there is no use in going ahead of the time. It seems to me you are in a great hurry to start a new treaty now while there is so much time before the old treaty expires." Red Cloud was the next speaker. "I have," he said, "the same sncar paper, but here is a map of my reservation which was given me by the Great Father. Spotted Tail and I made, that treaty of 1868, nineteen years ago. By that treaty we were to receive cattle and horses and sbecp and farming implements until the treaty runs out. Since that time we have made another treaty to give the Great Father, and we have pay for seven gen­ erations. Now, py lriends, the Great Father ha«n'l paid the things prom­ ised us, but wants us . ^ y Fessenden's calling of balls and strikes in the second inmng, and thereafter ran things with a high hand. "I've been robbed of games enough this season al­ ready," said he after the game, "snd I made np my mind ns soon as I saw how things were going in that game that it wss time to do a little kicking myself, and I did it." No one who was present at the game that afternoon will doubt Anson's state­ ment. There was not au inning of the game in which the big Captain's powerful voice was not heard iu determined dis­ pute with the umpire. Fessenden threat­ ened, and blustered, and bluffed at the "old man" throughout the nine innings, but the beauty of Anson's kicking is that he always knows what he is talking about, and, consequently, has the best of an argument upon any rule or point of play that he may decide to kick upon. Before Anson began to kick the game promised to be as tame a one as that of the day before, when Cleveland had won by a score of 5 to 4. The "old man's" kicking, however, had the effect of awak­ ening the members of both teams, and the amount of ginger they threw into their work made the game a bitter fight to the very end. Chicxgo finally took the victory by a score of 5 to 4, Duffy's hit to center sending in the winning run in the last half of the ninth inning. Another good effect of the "old man's" kick was the battery work done by the team. Anse himself went to bat four times and made four beautiful hits,each of which helped along or biought in a run. Duii'y and lhan also did great stick work, and where Chicago had not been able before this season to hit O'Brien they jumped upon his delivery and deliberately batted out their victory. It was a triumph in­ deed for the "old man," who of late has been doing little or no batting compared to his record of last season. Cleveland captured the third game of the series handily--score 7 to 4--tuns winning two out of the three, much to the discomfiture of the big Chicago cap­ tain. In this game the double umpire system was introduced, and Fessenden and McQuaid worked together in first- class style. There was no wrangling, bad­ gering or kicking, and the balls and strikes were attended to with care. Chicago has returned home, and during the 1 emaming days of the month it will meet the four Eastern league teams-- Washingion, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. Williamson will rejoin the team July 4, when be expects to play his first game of the reason in Chicago. The return of the big short-stop will be hailed with joy by every lover of base-ball in the lake city, for his coming will put the team in smooth working order again. ' CURRENT BASE-BALL TALK. Tim Keefe, of the Giants, holdp tha record on strikeouts, in a single game, for, the season. Twelve of the Bosto- nians went down before his curves in the series. CI ark son comes next, having struck out^ten of Anson's hopefuls. There are four players in the leagne who have a batting average of over .400, while tl ere is not a player in tbe associ­ ation who has yet reached that figure. The Chicago team has made more home runs than any other clab so far, with a total of twenty. New York |s seventh, with nine to its credit. There seems to be nothing the matter with John Montgomery Ward as a sec­ ond baseman. Tom Daly, tbe oil Chicago catcher, has signed with Washington. He is now with the team in Boston, and says his arm is in first-class condition. The Giants -tear rubber-soled shoos when plnving the outfield on the home grounds, "as the boards make it uncom­ fortable with spike shoes. Of late visit­ ing outfielders are following the New York team's example, and find that thay can pay a much hatter game on rubber than upon steal. :-•$ M : 5 so XMQdlcAtes TLo*e Under Tn>s> Ji»r CAIIS IMPSHSB I Sulltvaa's Cfaaam Bivu^lM%tikrTaae- Frank .Woodruff, vadsr indlc**^; aft Chicai© for compilefty in ̂ Cronin s mtodar, has m£ia aafother al confessi< n, in wbich he claims to te!$. whole story of the crime.

He Sift remained tl ere four days, aud becoming sick, on March 89 stared for the eowttr r;. hospital, but dritted to P. O'Sullivan's 1 placa in Lane park. Woodruff says he was- a voluntj<r on th? Canadian'sidaduring the I® " Fenian raid, and a memb r of the 24th Kent battalion, whose headquarters were at Chatham. He then had an opportunity to "4 learn a great deal about Irishmen and ^ Irish societies. As soon as he saw O'Suili- van he decided he was a Fenian and core?- ij menced a conversation on the subjebt of ' the Fenian raid. O'Sullivan told him hp j wo Id get him some work if possible, but a day or so afterward he (Woodruff) went to work at Dean's livery stable. He says he met Dan Couthlin first osk Weils stroet in a saloon, ami tue secend time on April 1 at the corner of Wells Division streets. They started down town and had gone but two blocks when they mat O'Sullivan, the iceman. Two days latsi' (April 3) Woodruff says he went into the rear room in t'ol Van Praag's saloon on Fourth avenue and found Coughlin and a man named Mel- villa drinking there. An introduction fol­ lowed and Melville gave Woodruff f:i and told him he might have some w. rk for him to do. Woodruff says two days afterward (April 5) he went to McCoy's hotel to see Melville, but did not find him, and on th» way back, while going north, he met Coughlin and a man named McDougall in front of the Northwestern depot. Wood­ ruff says he first met MoDeugall during the Fenian rebellion, when the latter was on the American side of tbe river at Niagara. McDougall told Woodruff to- oall him "Williams." After a talk between Coughlib and Mo- Dougali the former went off and latter led Woodruff first on a round through West side resorts and then, late at night, to- the flat at 117 South Clark street. They slept together that night in the flat aud in the morning McDougall told Woodruff that it was best for him to go to Alexander Sulli­ van for work, intimating that tha 'work was "crooked." Accordingly the aexft day he called at Alexander Sullivan's of­ fice, but the latter gave him a very cool reception and told him that if he had 907 work for him be would tell Williams (Mc- Dougal1.) • The next day (April 7) Woodruff says he met Williamson a grip car going north on the North Side and told him how Sullivan had repulsed him. They got off at Divi­ sion street, and had walked but a bloslc when t ay met Alexander Sullivan. Ho •talked with Williams and Woodruff, and then took the former aside and talked to him in a low flone of ' voice and gave him some money. Woodruff says that Mr. Sullivan then asked his pardon for the re­ pulse of the day before and gave hisn to understand that be might need him for somo work. Woodruff says he saw Will­ iams and Coughlin on April 30, and that each asked the whereabouts of the other. On the afternoon of May 4, he says, Coughlin called at Dean's livery stable and hired him to carry a trunk and paid over $25. Woodruff then tells tha story of th* night of the murder much as he told it tl Chief Hubbard. He says he drove out, 071 Lincoln avenue to Ashland avenue, and met "Williams ' and "Melville.'/ He waited, in front of tbe cottage while Williams and Mellville, aud P. O'Sullivan carried out the trunk. They drove to the lake shore with the trunk, leaving O'Sullivan behind to clean up the house. After leaving the body iu the catch basin and the trunk on Evanston avenue they drove back past tho cottage and saw a woman, supposed to be Mrs. Whalen, going out of the cottaga in tbe rear. Woodruff embellishes the story with many detai's. He says when P. O'Sulli­ van came out of the cottage with til# trunk he had a paint brush in his band. He says McDougall was a Philadelphia blacksmith and that Melville was a me­ chanic of some sort. He says he was some­ times known as O'Shea. He says that Coughlin bad him carry a letter written in cipher to Alexander Sullivan and that the lettei *ead: "Going up to O'Sullivan's.'* Chi&if Hubbard says that ho nas though# for a week past that Woodruff was tha man who drove the horse which carried the trunk away from thj Carlson cottage. His opinion is not founded entirely on Woodruff's statements, as he lelievea Woodruff to be polish d liar. As re­ gards the other parts of thf* confession* Chief Hubbard says he took but littla stock in them and he does not believe Woodruff knowe anything about the de­ tails of the plot Or the identity of tha people engaged in it outside of the man who employed him to carry the trunlc away. State's Attorney Longeneoker relies upon the story of Woodruff as good evi­ dence. "You see," said he, "that while Wood­ ruff has not told anything very new he has reaffirmed the confession that he made to Chief Hubbard and supported it by many circumstances known to us before. On the whole I think we may consider his confession as pretty near tbe truth about this business. He tells us that he was sick for two weeks with the old German at 175 Southport avenue; that he want to P. O'Sullivan's for work; that he staid at tha American Exchange hotel and that he re­ ceived money from the American express company. He tells where he met Coughlin and O'Shea and McUcugall, and in short at every point in his n-urratife he supplies those litile details which when verified prove tbe truth of a large part of the story." "Do you know anything, ajmut O'Shea or McDougall?" "I never heard of O'Shea. McDougall, I think is known to Dillon. ' "What do you think of what Woodruff says about Aelxander Sullivan:'" "It is characteristic ot Sullivan to have told Woodruff that he di ( not know him and that he hai no work for bim to do, but it seems improbable that SuIUvalS paid money to tbe murderers " . : i , ,t .-I •sF I)'i If? % $ m •M Ni •• *!¥fts HIPPOLYTK_N0T A VICTOR. - Tha Story that Ub Army Had Ciptafsi Port AU Prl»ea Not Trn».
