Incl~tdedin the band of Apache prisoners of war from Fort Sill are Chief Geronimo, the famous Apache warrior, and his able lieutenant, Nachie. The various delegations from other agencies also have many prominent men. 'Many difficulties were encountered in the work of preparing and installing the Iadian Congress, and in making it what it was originally intended by the Department that it should be, namely, a congress of the several Indian tribes of the United States, at which their native customs, habits, mode of dress, domestic life, dwellings, etc., should be portrayed. The greatest difficulty lay in the fact that Congress delayed the appropriation for the purpose so long that insufficient time was allowed to select, equip, and prepare the several delegations. In many cases the Indians were distrustful or did not want to come to the congress. This was especially true of some of the oldest and best types of Indians-the ones that were really most desired as delegates. As a rule, no difficulty was experienced in obtaining any ~inmbeor f mixed bloods or partially civilized representatives, who for many reasons were the least desired. It required repeated efforts and much persuasion to get Indians of the desired cPass, such as the Utes, the Bauuocks, the Shoshones, the Nee Percbs, the Osages, the Navajoes, and Xorthern Cheyennes.
