Specials to tke Denver Tribune from Los Pinos, dated tke th, represent that Saturday witnessed some decidedly animated occurrences at the CoimwMoiiers' meeting. After Jai'k had declined to Inform the Commissioners what Indians had been eoiieerned In the White River massacre, the Indians retired to Ouray's house to debate what course to pur- j sue. No Indians appeared at the Agency I until Saturday, but seem to have been engaged at Ouray's In conducting ! TUB WU.HKST 1UNCIC8 j and in making Aery speeches. A man w:t8 , sent from the Agency to Ouray's with food for the horses of tlieludtans. and dbcovcml from the noise on the inside, that the Indians ; were greatly excited. Tltoso whom he saw I were bedecked in feathers and war paint, and he was so frightened lh:it he turned back and did not deliver the hay. On , Saturday, at 12, the Ute came Into the ! Agency and took seats Inside the Axcticy building. Jack, Colorow, 12 other White j lilver Utes, and, of course, Ouray, being among the Indians present. When the Indians am! Commissioners, had taken their j seats, Gen. Hatch addressed the Indians, setting forth tho full demuuds of the Commission, Its rfcht to make the demand and the patience already exercised with tho Utes. "To-day," he said, ' I your last chance; j WK WILL WAIT .NO I.OXtltfK. i We want Your tlnal answer, and wo want no i evasions.'' The list of the Ute- charged h tho Agency women with taking part in tho massacre was then road, and the question put by Hatch, "Will you surrender the men whose names are In this paper, to bo tried, and the guiltv puni-licd and tho Innoeent acquitted!'" The quotlon was put twice, and after consultation evasive answers were returned both times. When the question was repeated a third time, Ouray replied, without consulting the other Utes, " llow do we know that these Indians you name were at White River at the timcof the massacre? or, even If they were there, wo do not know they were concerned in It. These women mentioned the muiies which came tirst to their Hps, whether they know them to lw guilty or not. We can not depend on what they say." " That Is what wo dciR'iid on." said Hatch. Adams tlten ad dressed the Indians, making a speech of over an boiir'i duration. miivIiil. utnontr other things, that the Commissioners tliil not want to punish Colorow, Jack and others that took partlntheThornburgh tight, hut the cowardly dogs who participated in the massacre of unarmed men at mo Agency, closing ny sayiiur. " We want those Utes. and we will ave them." The Indians held a consulta tion in a low tone of voke among themselves, but did not seem inclined to reply at all. When Hatch again arose and asked if the guilty Indians were to be surrendered, saying he bad made his last appeal, no one moved or spoke for a few moments,' when Colorow lighted a tug pipe the plpo or ieacc. r.acii Indian ure-ent drew his Knife and laid it on his knees. THK QUESTION OF PEACK OR WAR being the one pcndlmr. Colorow passed the pipe to the next man without smoking, aud it went round. When the circle was finished he jumped to his feat, straightened up to his full height, pulled his belt around until tho knife-sheath wa-t in front, pulled his knife out, and threw it with force on the floor, ?ulvering antl ringing, instantly every ndian present dropped his hand to hts hcit and laid his hand on his knife or pistol. The whites did the same, and the two parties stood fronting and defying each other for some moments, eacti wamnt: lor the outer to make a forward move. There were hut six white men, while there were 35 Indiana in the room; and in soldiers in an adjoining room. Finally ourayspoKe: " we can not deliver up to vou these Indians unless they are tried In Washlnfrton: thev must not be tried in Colorado; theCoUrado people are all our enemies, and to give mem up to ne tried in this State would bo to surrender them to be hanged; we will bring those twelve men here for vou to ee, and then whom you decide guilty shail be taken to "Washington, and the President shall determine their guilt or Innocence. Douglas will have to go; we know he was in the White Jtiver trouble, and you Mian oecuie who else. Upon this condition, and not otherwise, will we surrender the guilty Indians." This was said with OKKAT AHROOANCK ANI BOMl.VKSH. Ourav said It would take about a week to brinsrthemen In. Hatch told him he ac cepted the xroposition so far as bringing the participants or me massacre m, nut as iaras taking them to Washington, he had to telegraph for permission to Secretary Schurz. Colorow and Jack Immediately dispatched to bring in the 12 named, Including Douglas and Porstine, sayintc they would be back in five days. After they had taken their departure Ouray again spoke, reiterating his statement that the Utes could not get Justice in Colorado, but eouid-oniy get it in wasiiIiikrton. " You three (meaning Hatch. Adams and the legal adviser, Valol.) arc all my enemies. I am one. against three, tou hate mel You arc all Colorado or New Mexico men and a Frenco devil.

As far as I can ascertain, this amrtion is admitted by devolopmontkts, yet it is undoubtedly true that the Indian elephant makes two implement, or forms and alters curtain things go as to adapt them specially to fulfill definite purpose, for which, unaltered, they would not ho suitable, One evening, soon after my arrival in Eastern Asia, ami whilu tlto live elephants were as usual being fed opposite tlto bungalow, I observed a young and lately caught onu stop up to , Iminboostake fence and quietly pull one of tho stakes up. Placing itundcr foot, it. broke a piece off with the trunk, and after lifting it to its mouth throw it away. It repeated this twice or thrico, anil then drew another staku and began again. Seeing that tho bamboo was old and dry, I asked the reason of this, stud was told to wait anil see what it would do. At Inst it seemed to get a piece that suited, and, holding it in tho trunk firmly, and stepping the left foro-leg well forward, passed tho piece of bamboo under tlto armpit, so to speak, nnd began to scratch with some force. IWy surprise readied its climax when I saw a largo elephant leech fall on tho ground, quite six inches long and thick as one's finger, and which, from its position, could hot easily be detached without this scraper, or scratch, which was deliberately mado by tho elephant. I subsequently found that it was a common occurrence. Leech-scrapers arc used by every clepnniit tlaiiv. Un another occasion, when traveling at a time of year when tho largo Hies are so tormenting to an elephant, I noticed that tho one 1 rode had no fan or wisp to beat them off with. Tho mahout, at my order, slackened pace and allowed her to mj to tho fddo ot tho road, where for some moments .he moved along rummairitiir the smaller jungle on tho bank. At last she camo to a cluster of young shoots, well branched, nnd after feeling among them and selecting one, raised her trunk and , nearly stripped down the stem, taking ' off all the lower brandies and leaving a fine bunch on top. She deliberately cleaned it down several times, and then, laying hold at tho lower end, broke off a beautiful fan or switch, about five feet lonr, handle included. With this she kept the Hies at bav, as we went along, Happing them off on each side every now and then. bav what wo uiav, these arc both really bona lido implements, each intelligently made for a definite purpose.
