place , which Is six miles east of Porcupine
Itutte , or about sixteen miles northeast of

scorns that Carr's command is to constitute
the cast and north sides of the square.
From the expression upon the fates of the

A scout came In this morning and reported

indulging in a wild war diinco only eight

that the soldiers would como and fight them

( A'hcrpuultc at a distance fiom hcio cannot
predate the feeling , thounoltciablo deter-
ilnatlon that has taken possession of those
representing the Goveimncnthoio rogniding
Jlils situation. A , uity of Indian scouts
today v Islted the scone of Moudaj 'n battle ,
and found nine Imlians whoweio wounded in
the light still n'.lvo. Two of them had been
taken ton log hut near by and weio being
cared for by a squaw that had remained be
hind the other seven , all of whom wore
found Ij ing in gullies remote from
the battleflelii , having sin vivcd the blizzard
without attention of any kind. Two were
bucks , nnd the other flvo weio squaws
U'hcio was scarcol ) enough llfo loft in any of
the seven to pay the scouts for bilnging them
in , but they did so , nnd they are now w 1th
ttio others in the Episcopal church.
In addition to tlio nine adults found , two
tiny Indian babies , neither of thornovei three
months old , were found alive , each beside the
dead body of its mother. Thoj wcro well
wiappcd up , but how they suivlvcd the fear
ful weather of the last foi ty-clght hours scorns
n mystery. The llttlo innocents wcro of
of course brought to the agency and found
filcnds in the wives of some cf the Indian
couts.
the thiity-flvo wounded Indians brought
oilutter the battle , noaily till
whom vveio squaws and children , not n
jho has as yet died , though many of them are
.badly mangled with millets.
' The rear guard of the party of chultj
floiug scouts that went out on their search
for wounded Indians was foiccd to ex-
charge scvcial shots with some roving bos-
tiles , who seemed to think the former had no
business to do any nets of kindness.
For the benefit of the few people who nifty
feel Hko immediately seeking to attach some
blame to the military for not taring
foi these wounded Indians sooner , I will snj
that , lifter the battle , the Indian scouts did
> go over the Held and picked up all the dis
abled hostile * they could find , bofoio the
troops woio compelled to hurry in hero and
piotect the agency from the uprising that
occuried , as previously desciibed In my dis
patches. Since then they hnvo been too busy
every moment preventing n niassne-io heio to
spend thno doing deeds of kindness.

President nnd Mrs Harrison received all
the diplomatic officials nnd social world of the
capital at their Now Ycir lovco The occa
sion was moio than ordlnnilly biilllant , cclo-
biating , as it did , the completion of the
white house Improvements and the christen
ing I of the blue pulor. In each of
all these details Mi's. Harrison has been
si closely interested that she enjojcd the nd-
inhution that ovcrjbody else so fully ox-
prosscd ' in the results. Of course there was
j1 dainty floral decoration in all the pnrlois ,
but in the blue room , whoso graceful proportions
tions and rich ornamentation needed nothing
to accent them , Mrs. Harrison bad
only n few flowers placed. The thrill
of excitement caused oy the re
port of ( lie at Seerctiry Blnino's
house and the discovery Inter that It ivas at
Mr. Letter's homo wns the ono sad Incident
of the day. A heavy fog prevailed nil day ,
but it old not seem to detract anything from
this icccption or at any of the ofllclal houses.
Many n glance of sympathy followed" tlio
depaituio of Societary Iracy from the bill-
llant scene just after ho had escorted Mrs.
Melvco to the blue pallor ind had piid his
icspctts to the president and vlco president
and their wives. Ho wore black gloves and

But again the sccno changed and all looked
forwatd to the grand cntiOo of the ttlploni Utc
cotps. led by the suave Baron Fava. Secro-
taiy Hlalno perfoimcd the ngrceablo duty of
presenting the foreigners to the picsldent ,
being assisted by M. Tovellon Blown. As
they passed bv tbo receiving party
in stately but swift 'pioccsslou ono
scarcely took in the details of
the elaborate court dresses on the
brilliant military uniforms. The corps tuined
out in larger numbers than over heiotoforo ,
iio.nly all of the thirty-three countiies with
which we have diplomatic connections being
icprescnted. Many of the gentlemen were
accompanied by their wives nud daughters
and this so augmented the throng that
the capacity of the red parlor ,
where they had galheicd before
being presented to the president , wns
scat cely sufllclent to bold the gaily appat cllod
tluonir Mr Vechavun , the Core in charge
d'affali-cs , und his pictty llttlo wife looked

After the Coieans came the supreme

There woio but few ladies after the first
half hour. The vlco president and Mrs.
Morton wlthdiovv fiom the iccoptlon , Miss
liachnel Sherman accompaujing them , and
went back to their own home to commence
their iccoptlon. Their withdrawal was also
thoslpnal for the departure of Secietary
Blulnc nnd ids daughter , who also bad a per
emptory engagement to meet The cabinet
ladies felt equal freedom in leaving the line
caily , and bofoio the icccption
ivas nn hour In pioqicss the
president and Mrs Hnirlson alone icinnlncd
to lecelvo the constantly Increasing throng.
Manv of the ladies who formed part of tbo
pageant behind the line also foisook their
places early , so that when the public was ad
mitted it did not ha\o what hasnlvvajs added

The toilettes of the receiving party as well

Harrison's gown gave herself and her friends

She was unusually animated and took the
opportunity of asking all her Intimate friends
their opinion of the w hite house with Its new
dccoratlQns nnd electric lighting. Her housewifely -
wifely enio. which never deserts her , seemed
to exact itself in a inarKed degree today ,
nnd vvhilo others were admiring the
new lights she was planning the changes
which she ttimks necessary for tholrim-
movement.
Mrs. Morton's gown was of white brocnded
sntm , flounced with old Venetian point. Her

A OCtlUOt'S CONTilAST.
A curlous'contrast hi tone with the tidings
of Indian lighting In South Dakota is fur-
ilshcd bv n moaiorlnl to congress It was
drawn up at n nicotine of the ropicsontatlvcs
of the religious Society of Friends for Pcnn-
&j Ivania , Now Jersey nnd IJelavvare. hold n
few days before Christmas. This memorial
speaks of the enormous nniounts of money
jxpcnded for many years In hostilities with
Indians , the primary cause of which has been
.ho Injustice and rapacity o' the whites , and
asks congress whether it li ot the part of
wisdom , mctcy and forbearance befitting a
VIP
powerful nation to inquire into the
cau o of the piesont trouble nnd to
n plv a remedy which might ic-storo tran-
qullfty cvciv wiieio wlthout'fuuher effusion
Jl
of blood. "Tho discontent nnd suffering
which have followed tbo reduction of rations
duo the Sioux under the stipulations of
former ticatles nt a tlrao when the failure
of crops had already caused n scarcity
of fooei. by which they were
threatened : with starvation , and the opening
of 11,000,000 acres of their land to occupation
of the whites before the terms of agreement
for its sale , as they understood it , had been
ratified by the government and the money
piov Ided for Its p lymcnt , appear to have been
the chief causes of the distrust and animosity
toward the whites , and the disposition on the
pait of some of them to nets of violence
which nowexist. . These feelings have no
doubt also been stimulated by the illusion In-
dus'ilously propagated aniODi ; them of tbo
speedy appearance of a supernatural
being ns the avenger of their
wrongs nnd their deliverer. Disappointing
to them as this expectation of tbo appearance
of a Messiah must be. should not the wide
spread acceptance of this belief cxcito pity

true understanding of the hroccpts of Him
