The rames ot the Indians are Ouray, bead chief of the Utes; Coho, ‘tobomaserico, Tepacha, Monchick, Jose Katel and the iatter a boy about fourteen years 0 The conference lasted several hours, Ouray acting as spokesman on behait of the indians. THE PARTICULAR POINT IN THE TREATY under discussion was the disposition of the gov. ernment annuity. Ouray said be understood Mr. Brunot to say that the Utes could spend this money in any way they pleased, but was informed that this was a mistake, and that ir could only be exp nded as their agent and the government thought best. Ouray then asked it he could yet, say a hundred horses, when he wanted them, and Commissioner Smith replied no, not unless the agent should recommend it, and the government deemed his judgment good: The money would be expended tor the Indians so as to benefit them. Ouray replied that there might be A GREAT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION between himself and the agent as to what they need. “Yes,” replied the commissioner, -‘you might want horses and we might give you a school house instead.” “And” perhaps you would want me to go to school,” said Ouray with a good natured laugh. The commissioner said he desired themto live like the whites, to plow andsow, &e., and when this was inter- preted in Spanish, which tangaage all the del- egation speak, the Indians langhed and Oaray said they had no desire to live like the whites. Ouray rather insisted upon being allowed to sp dene money as he might think proper, but final Y AouREp TO THE ARRANGEMENT, when told by Mr. Brunot that the government would be likely to grant all ef his requests, if reasonable. Secretary Delano said he was glad to see them, and to hear such a good account of them from their agents and others. fe also told them he desired them to live like the whites; whereupon Ouray made some remark in Spanish, and all of the members of the dele- gation laughed heartily. The interpreter was asked to interpret Ouray’s observation, but did uot do £0, saying it was ouly a joke. Mr. Brunot explained to Secretary De!ano THE HONORABLE AOTION OF OVRAY in the case of the two Utes who killed Agent Miller sometime sinee.

A Dull Season and Why-Seusible Views of a Motel Keeper v= jon in Hotel Prices. [Bditorval Correspondence of The Star.) BUFrALo, October 0. The programme for our excursion party to day included a visit to Niagara Falls, The day was alternately cloudy and sunny; giving u views of the falls under both of the aspects de scribed by Dickens; shining and glowing like molten gold when the sun is on them, and when the day is gloomy, ‘‘they tall like snow, or seem to crumble away like the front of a great chalk cliff, or roll down the rock like dense white smoke.” The Niagara season is over of coarse though all the year around a certain number o! visitors find their way to the falls, Niagara continues to be the paradise of courting couple and of the pewly married, and the few visitor- to be seen were quite evidently of one or the other of these persuasions. There isa reason for all this. Nowhere else are there such dan gerous precipices and abysses, making it im- peratively necessary that the male arm should encircle the female waist. Nowhere else is there such opportunity to illustrate the oak and ivy business; and the guide books continue to parade the awful fate of Miss Martha Rugg, the ter, who for wantot a male arm to cling to «fell over the bank, and descending a depth of 115 feet was dashed on the sharp rocks below.” ‘This has been A DULL SEASON AT NIAGARA. It has been dull at all the watering places, to be sure, and the popular theory of the tandlords, is that everybody went to Eu- rope. one hotel man who explains it in a more intelligible way. This is Mr. James . Fulton, the proprietor of the Internationa’ Hotel at Niagara, Mr. Falton is an acti business-like man, who, commencing as a clerk, has worked -his way up to the proprietorship o: one of the finest pieces of hotel property in the country. He sa: ‘This has been a bad year for the hotel men. It has made me feel pretty sick, and I have been looking into the matter to vee where the difficulty Some will say that the great summer hotels were empty this year because the health and pleasure-seeker= all went to Europe, but this isa mistake. I got into the secret in a trip up into New Eng- land not long ago. At a country he there I found a house full of first-class guests, who had been there through the entire season. There was nothing attractiv« about the place; the surroundings were dul and uninviting, and the smallest rill tha: trickles over Niagara presents more attraction than could be found within fifty miles of thi country hotel. Yet it was crowded, and with the best class of people nd who came to stay tor the season, while Niagara, the greates wonder of the world, bas been visited only by birds of passage, who stay a day or two and fit elsewhere. On looking further I found that th cause was really a matter of price; the mode- rate prices charged for board was au inducement to even wealthy people to make arrangements season. I have made up my mind that the hotel busiress of the country is on a false basis. We must come down and give th public the benefit. of the declining prices since the war. The shoddy people have played out. They haven't a coat to their backs, amd scarcely a shirt; and the hotel people have got to rely upon the business meu of the country for their custom; and the business men are apt to count the cost be. tore deciding where the family shall go for the feason. A single man stopping for a day or two doesn’t mind the difference of a dollar per day more or less, but when it comes to a whole fam ily it is a matter for consideration, even fer wealthy people. I accept the situati next season to make an entire ch I shall reduce the price per day from ), and for weekly and monthly boar’ ore proportionately. I have a large and ve hotel; have invested all the pr Agara season one; but I propose to test the experimen of keeping my house full for the entire seaso: at low prices, instead of half full at high prices Niagara, with its supreme attractiens, ought to be crowded all the summer, and I mean to make ~~ experiment of lower prices to bring people ere.” NIAGARA PHNCED IN. I asked Mr. Fulton if the feeling raised throughout the country by the “fencing in’ of Niagara had not had something todo with the falling off of visitors. Fulton :—Undvubtedly it had; but there was &@ good dea! of injustice in that clamor. As you will see, the only place really ‘fenced in” is Prospect Point on the brink of the American Fall. This was a very dangerous and exposed point, and for the safety @t the public it was necessary to build a parapet wall along the precipice at a heavy expense. An enclosure was made here with a trifling admission fee of 20 cents, (and not much more for the season, intended to be barely sufficient to pay interes on the cost of the wall, which wall, as you will see, not only ensures safety, but enables the spectator to get a view never before attainable, directly overhanging the American Fall. There is really no more reason why there should no. be a small toll to pay the interest of the cost of this improvement than there should be a tol! for crossing the bridge to Goat Island. Q. But would it not have been better for thy Falls citizens to have borne the expense and made the view free? A. The difficulty is there is nobody here able to stand the burden for such improvements. The community here consists of a few huadred people, mostly poor people. The consequence ig that the Porter family have had to shoulder the cost and get what returns they could in the way of tolls Q. What about the extortions of the hack- men? A. Here, too, there is injustice in the clamor. Formerly there was undoubtedly cause for the complaints, but now the hackmen have been put under restrictions.

They took us first up Delaware avenue,a street lined with handsome, roomy houses, surrounded by beautiful lawns and shrubberies, and well calculated to contest honors with Cleveland's famed Euclid avenue. —The residence of Millard Fillmore is on Delaware avenue, a comfortable looking, un pretentious, drab-colored house. with red win dow facings, and picturesque, clustered chim neys. Mr. Fillmore is greatly respected in Bat- falo. His bust, portrait, and photograph meet one atevery turn.

Mr. Bowen, the railroad lawyer, tells m that twenty-five years ago he went to schoo! to Millard Fillmore at Aurora, Erie county. The er's pay was $15 permonth. Mr. Fillmore was not a graduate in the modern school of Christian Statesmansbip, and did not profit by his opportunities. The earningsof nis busy life, though sufficient for his comfortable but unos tentatious style of living, are estimated to be leas than $75,000, and his income is moderate for the reason that he will not invest in anytuing bear- ing a higher rate of interest than three or four = cent., believing that any investment pi ising a higher rate is unsound. Filimore’s family consists of his wife and a bachelor son, who is @ court clerk in Buffalo. —Buffalo has many reminiscenses of Mark Twain, and of his remarkable attempt at pub lishing @ newspaper on an entirely new plan. After his return from the Holy Land, (per Quaker City,) Mark took a wife, and parchased the third interest in the Buffalo Express, owned by A.M. Clapp, Public Printer. They say that Mark’s style of newspaper work was unique. He is not an early riser, and is as slow of move- ment as of speech, consequently he didn’t get to the office very early in the morning. And when there his movements were not characterized by nervous haste. Seating himself in a capacions pivot-chair, his first move was to deposit bis boots in the waste basket, and re- place them with roomy slippers. Then cle vating his slippered feet te a comfortabl cushion on the exchange papers. (their 0 legitimate use in his estimation,) it was his wont to lay back in his chair, swinging himself lazily on its pivot, and tell stories of wit and wisdom by the hour to the associate editors. ‘This was vastly pleasant to all concerned, but somehow it did not work in the way of making enclusion t his forte n the # hy as a newspaper Was ni tained his interest year and a half, th take part in the than six weeks.

Fargo, the express man. With the exception, perha) art’s big marble house in New York, it is the most costly and pretentious private resi dence in America. It is an odd freak in haman nature that men childless, or almost withou family, should have such a mania for erectiag these huge structures for ahome. A. T. Stew art, without chick or child, builds a great coud gloomy edifice of marble, that looks more like # public building than a private house, and Far- go, with no living children, puts up this im mense structure that towers above Bu almost as the Capitol does above Washington As we drove past the house in the chilly autumn evening a single light 1m, one of the smaliest of the forty or fifty rooms of the great building, showed where the little of occupants had gathered for snugness. Mr. Fargo, the founder of the express business in this country is much esteemed by his tellow-citizens as @ liberal large-minded business man. Like most of the leading Buffalonians, he has made his way from small beginnings, and it is told here how his en terprise was endangered at its outset by the dif- ficulty he experienced in raising the means to buy bis first horee and wagon. —The pride of Buffalo is its shade trees. It is almost as truly a ‘forest city” as was Port land, Maine, before the fire, though the trees are younger and smaller than were those of Portland. The Buffalo pavements are of stone, mostly; a kind of free-stone that seems to do well for the purpose, being easily worked m small oblong blocks. A few streets are paved in wood, but wood is not popular here.
