 Fort Giosoa, 9th March, 1893.

 SIa--Tbe Commissioners appointed by the President of the United States, for the purpose of holding treaties with, and settling, matters of dispute relative to land boundaries, &c., arising be- tween the different Indian tribes west of the Mississippi river, were 10 have held d Council with the Osagc Nation, on ta.e 25ai of last month, at the Grand Saline, oil the Ncosilo river; aud no iiit, 22d of the same month, Maj. YouNG, of the U uJ.s:Ss $. A4rHij, witsi eohpa,lics h. and D.ofthe 7th Infantry, and Capt. BEANS company of the U. $. Rangers, Was, at tEe instance of the Commissioners. .de- tached from this post, for the purpose of attending them during the operations of the council. The detachment ar rived at the point of destination on the 24th, and formed their cncainpment near the Neosllo. The Osagcs, about 77t.a9, in number, arrived iii tic course of {. few days afterwards, and pitched their camps about one mile distant.

 The weather was cloudy and cold, SC much so, as 10 render the movements of the Indians extremely tardy; and they were so much under the influence of superstition, which is common 10 the wild Indians of the west, that they could not be prevailed on 10 go into Council during the continuance of the cloudy weather. At length, however, on the 7th inst, the day being clear and pleasant, the Indians assembled, and the ceremony of shaking hands--(which is alwaysa eparators measure with them, 10 the comrnenccment of bnsiness)-- was performed; hut,in consequence of the utter impossihility, at that place, of procuring forage for the horses of the Rangers, Or even the necessary supplies of provision for the Indians, the Com missioners thought proper 10 adjourn the Council to this post. where they themselves, and the troops, arrived yes= terday-and the Indians are expected to- morrow. Should they arrive and fhe weather be fair, the Council will progress on Monday, the llt!l i.st.
