Affairs Col Lea, the Commissioner, being of
necessity absent, they were received by Col.
Nix, the Cnief Clerk, who stated TO them the
fact OF the time of their Great Fathers being
taken up in attention upon the Grand Council
OF The nation, it was proper TO forego giving
d
the adjournment. of Congress. Assurance was
given that III the time intervening every atten.
ton should be shown them for their protection,
comfort and pleasure; and that they should
see all the interesting departments and inven-
tons OF the country in the vicinity.
Dir. Mix recognised the son ofthe celebrated
keokuk, as n companion of delegation Of the
irite who was here in 1887, and referred spe-
cialiy TO him. He also expressed qualification
at meeting the delegates, and promised them
future acls of kindness anojfrendly interviews.
The young keokuk has remarkably fine
eye and face; AMI son ofthe celebrated Black
Hawk. though of rather settled countenance, is
al least remarkable for his bulk Of frame and
charac teristic marks of frmness.
The Indians expressed themselves gratifed
al the assurances given, and took respectful
leave.-Repnblic.
There are eight Indians to the delegation
Keokuk being the principal Chief, with seven
sub-chefs and braves, their names being ka-
peecoma, PishHeenanee, Tackwauss, Wash
awmeesaw, or young Black Hawk, Mnhna
toowa, Nakascowat, Mahnwytook. The head
Chief OF the Fox branch is Powaishich, with
snb-chief and braves Paasheesheemong Shee-
sheeconass; Monuss, Ahnahmoneegua, and
Ahreecoos.
The Sacs number at this time about thirteen
hundred souls, the Foxes about seven hundred.
Their numerical strength has been reduced by
death since the last enumeration of them was
taken. The tribe still retains its love of So
wage life and manners beyond almost ell others
OF the removed Indians on our borders. They
dislike schools, missionaries, and even dfpel-
hngs, ana many OF them yearn 10 go further
West, thar they NAV be still more distant from
civilization, as well us nearer the buffalo and
ether game. Their eflurts at cultivation have
been very feeble, though they inhnbit fine
country, well adapted TO successful agricul-
lure. The tribe has fund Of $50, 600, part of
which might be sergIceabIy employed in mi.
'iating the tribe III The simple arts OF enclosing
and tlling the soil, end in building suitable
dwellings.
The FISHERY TRoU BLEs.-The advices by
the steamer Asia are to tie effect that there is
agenerally received report in England that
Thomas Barring, Of the well known firm of
Barring Brothers s. Co., is about to visit The
United States on special mission from II e
British Government for the arrangement of t Q
fishery dispute. The New York Commercial
makes the following statement ON the above
eport:
eve have been put in possession of private
letters, OF the h hest authority, which place
this matter III somewhat different light. Mr..
Barring positively declines any "dIploma,ic
agency" in the matter-his visit TO this cCun-
try beng originally planned on account of his
own business operations. There is no doubt,
however, that in this matter he thoroughly un-
ders!ands the views and purposes of the Brit
ish Ministry, and hos their entire confidence,
and IT is not al all improbable that he may
uaofflclaly talk with cur Government upon
the subject, ard efiectually remove the misun-
Outstanding which seems TO have prevaled.'
All the private letters by the steamer, as
we'll as the tone ofthe leading English papers,
would seem to indicate the most pacific state
OF fleeing Oh the other side of the Atlantic
The New York Express says:
ave have seen letter from a prominent
American gentleman in London, to his CORES.
pendent here, that he has ust had an interview
with the American Minister, who assured him
that the British Ministry has sent instructions
TO the colonies that Will at once silence and
allay apprehensions OF difficulty in relation TO
ale fishery question.
The report in the London Standard, that
American stocks were about 10 be sent out in
the Asia for resale is not confirmed by the PR
vate letter. No intimation of that kind has
be, n made to several of the prominent houses
connected with England on this side. One of
the gentlemen here we enquired of, pertnen,Iy
remarked, IF 1t were the case it j. not proba.
