Indians at St. Louis Fair.

 Government Approval of the proposed Congress of Red Men.

 The department of the interior at Washington has given its consent to the proposal of the management of the St. Louis world's fair to hold a red men's ethnological congress on the exposition grounds, says the New York Evening Post. The invitation to take part will be passed around the several reservations, and it is the desire of the department that, as this will probably be the last gathering of its kind -- the tutelage of the Indians being now generally so far on its way toward dissolution -- as large a proportion as practicable of the older generation of Indians shall be present. They are the element who retain the traditions of the old and characteristic tribal life and traits. The later generations, it is hoped, have got to the point where they will speedily merge into our population.

 The appropriation set apart for this feature is believed to be large enough to permit several hundred Indians of both sexes to come to St. Louis. A space will be assigned to the congress apart from the government building, with a stockade around it, so that the white guardians sent with the red men from the reservations can keep them continually under their eyes.
