Indians May Come to Chicago.

Secretary Hoke Smith has granted permission
to Buffalo Bill for Indians to visit Chicago
with his wild west show. A thorough investigation
of the records of the department in regard
to Cody and Salsbury's treatment of the
Indians and the beneficial results attending the
red man's association with this organization
having been satisfactory a favorable decision
was given. There will be 100 Indians and the
directors intend to invite as guests the principal
chiefs of historic celebrity to visit Chicago and
see the great World's Fair. Maj. Burke, who
is here in connection with the matter, called
upon President Cleveland to-day and was accorded
a hearty greeting. The major has invited
the president and party to visit the wild
west when in Chicago.
