I1m Annual
Report-4Condition
Indians.
of the
. TilE IXDIAX CiCESTIOX. ,.
The General sets apart a large portion
ef his report to the discussion of the In
i)in ' tiV-y-tioii. lie says :
t "1 Le situation in this respect is wholly j
unsatisfactory. I ha Indian Department,
Owing to want of sufficient appropriations,
or from wretched mismanagement, has
priven to the fcetllerants in the
Western country constant anxiety daring
the last year, and in some places
loss of lifer and Iofs of prpnerty, attended
with dreadful -crimes and cruelties. There
I-baa been .an insufficieacv of food at the
agencies, and, as the game is gone, hunger
has made the Indians in some cases eles
perate, and almost any race of--,men will
nht rather than starve. It seens to me,
withrwise management, that the amounts ;
appropriated by Congress ought to be suffi
cient,, if practically applied to the exact
purposes specified, and if the supplies are
regularly delivered. But the reports of the
regiment commanders, forwarded herewith,
would indicate a different result, except in
the Case of the Red' Cloud and Spotted
'Tail' bands of Sioux, who, although threat
ening in their condrtct, have been tho best
supplied and have been humored until
their increasing insolence constantly
threatens to bring about a breach of the
pcajce. v
RED CLOUD AND SPO 1TED TAIL.
: I had;hojed that the agencies of these
Indians would have been retained on 'the.
Missouri river, where they could have been
fed:j;ud looked after at comparatively
sball expense, but this would' not have
soiled the traders and contractors, who I.
fear.5 labored systematically last summer
and fall to work ipon the result which has
beeu-obtained, and now these Indians are
on wrse ground than' the Missouri river
bottom, and located at points beyond the
river line? of transportation fqr instance,
Red Cloud's band where the- expense of
feeding will be probably five times as great
as on the! M issouri river. In addittou
thesoIndians are now located near the line
of travel to the Black Hills, and are on the
eitreriie western limit of their reservation,
and where contact with the whites is liable
to frequently occur, and I doubt if in the
F- resent frame of mind of the Red Cloud
odiaris the two races can live so closely to
gether without fighting. There does not
seem to be' now, and there never has been,
much steadiness in the management of the
Indians, and if it were not for the results
which io severely involve the military this
would, be none of my business and would
not bo mentioned here.
- . PAD OUTLOOK FOB THE SAVAGES.
Thov General reviews the' condition of
the Indians ten; years ago and the causes
leading to their present unhappy state.
He says:
The outbreaks among the savage tribes
will certainly.go on unless wise measures
arc adopted to preveDt tlicni. Already
there have been engagements with the
Kiowitsi Comonches, Cheyennes, Nez
Ibices, Bannocks and Bhoshones. The
Crowa will come in next the Assinaboines
and Grtis Ventres and wild tribes north of
the Missouri will be obliged to follow.
Spotted 1 Tail's and Red Cloud's people"
will 'be driven to the same condi
tions eventually, and so- on down to
)the fribes in the western part of
the Indian Territory. To prevent or even
avert the calamity which may occur we are
entirely unprepared, for without exposing
other important points we can collect to
gether but a few hundred men. For in
,Ltance, at Fort bill and vicinity to meet the
located in the Indian Territory, numbering
u3,0fjrj br 4,000, "we have riot more than 300
effort iyT men. At Fort Reno, to guard
the GaefYjeanes(anl Arapahoes, numbering
i),UW or ,uv, we.navc uui ucccumg vJ
effective men. At , Red Cloud Agency,
where there are at least 6,000
Indians, wo have only two com
panies and- could, not in ten days
collect over five or six hundred men. At
Spotted Tail we have only two companies,
numbering 119 meii, and it would take two
weeks to get ail the troops we could mus
ter and they would not number much
more than 500 or 600 effective men, while
the Indians' namber not Jess than 7,000.
and so on. j At points where there are In
dians and agencies! and at other strategical
points tne nunmer oi troops is msignmcani,
and if outbreaks occur, as I fear they will,
the consequences would be appalling, and
I wish . to warn the General of the Army
that we have not half the troops required
t meet these anticipated -troubles.
THK BEMEDY PROPOSED.
. The General is of the opinion that kind
treatment, administered with steadiness and
justice, wpnld remove our; western frontier
of all it 4 appalling horrors arising from
Indian outbreaks. With treatment of this
kind the Indians can ba made self-supporting,
and in an incredibly short time, toQ.
; THK TEXAS FROSTIER.
j A.S compared with the opinions usually
entertained by the public regarding dep
redations on the Texas frontier, General
Sheridan says:
I think the Mexican government is mak
ing more exertion to suppress lawlessness
than heretofore. If it does not succeed I
would recommend that Congress pass an
act that, from and after a certain fixed
time, if depredations in Texas are not dis
continued, a force af troops be sent across
at certain points aud kept there until dep
redations entirety cease. The moral effect
of such Congressional action would, in my
opinion, prevent all future trouble.

Sir Thomas Erowua writiugshave long
beerf esteemed highly. Coieridge wro.e of
the "Religio Medici" : "This book paints
eertaiii parts of mora! mvI inielleetual
being (the best parts, no doubt,) better
than inv other book 1 have ever met with
and the style throughout is delicious.?'
Thcnew edition of Browne's works includes
the 'Religio Medici," 'A Letter to a,
Friend," writings upon Christian morals,
urn-burial, vulgar error.-; and o-lier sub
jects. His wide learning, his perceptive
and well-balanced mind, gave his writings
great weight at the time of their publica
tion (he lived from 1605 to 1082), ad they
were translated into Latin. Italian. Ger
man, Dutch and French. The style is now
very antiquated, und is moreover marked
by a large proportion of Latin words which
had been then rectritly brought into the
English languagie, but many of1 which are
now obsolete. Th! composition is smooth
and the points plainly stated. An extreme
example of Browne's style is the following
the first sentences of his "Christian Mo
rals": "Tread softly and circumspectly in
this funambulatory track and narrow path

leaven not good actions, nor render virtues

The New Phase ol" the i'lihery Dispute.
Boston Advertiser. j
The violent expulsion of our fishiug ves
sels from the. coast fisheries ciT Newfound
la nil, last winter, is ia a fafr way to defeat
the settlement intended by the Halifax
award. In that event all the questions
left open by the treaty of Washington, as
well as the nature of our treaty rights, will
be again the subject of negotiation and
fmblic debate. . It is not a pleasant out
ook. -. j
The report that the English government
had taken ground sustaining the - outrage
committed by the fishing people of New
foundland on the Gloucester fleet last win
ter is in a measure confirmed by the publi
cation of Mr. Evarts's letter to the Ameri
can minister in London. This correspon
dence has intervened while that relating to
the payment af the award was stiiliin pro
gress. If the position of the English gov
ernment is adhered to, and the provinces
can destroy by local regulations the value
of the fishing rights secured by the treaty
of Washington, what is there left ? j
: Mr. Evarts resists this pretension prompt
ly, earnestly, aud in a spirit which the
country will approve. The issue thus raised
is a serious one, and take3 precedence of
all other pending questions under the trea
ty. It is not assumed that the judgment
indicated in Lord Salisbury's note, approv
ing the auction of the Newfoundland people,
is the final determination of the English
government. On the contrary, Mr. Evarts,
in showiug how inlposslbM it would be for
our government to accept the claim of the
colonial authorities, approved by Lord Sal
isbury that the treaty rights of
our people are subordinate toand must
be eiereised in conformity with, their
island regulations submits the whole mat
ter, for reconsideration, with serious and
cogent reasons for .withdrawing such a
claim. I
On this side of the border, at least, there
can be but one response to the position
our Government has taker.. We were
about to pay an absurdly exorbitant price
for certain concessions mpue by .the treaty;
and we arc told at -the last moment that
even these concessions may be overruied at
any moment by the interests or the whinis
of "the several provinces.' This is not the
entertainment to which we were Livited
A Faut Collision.
The National line steamer Helvetia
from Liverpool for New York, has called
at Queenstown arid reported a terrible ca
tastropne iu the Irish Sea. During her
run fiom Liverpool the Helvetia came into
collision with the British revenue steamer
Fanny and cut her down. The Fanny sank
immediately, carrying with her seventeen
of the crew. Only seven persons were saved.
This unfortunate affair is as yet shrouded
in mystery. No particulars have yet
reached this country as to the time or cause
of the collision. It is probable, however,
that it took, place at night. The
loss of so many lives would indicate the
inability of the Helvetia to render prompt
assistance, and it is likely , the fortunate
survivors managed to escape in oue of their
own boats. Collisions at night, even in
thick' weathermay be avoided by the use
of powerful electric lights set on the masts
of ships. On the night of July 18 the
steamer Faraday, on her voyage from New
York to London, came near running down
a passenger shipclose to the George's Bank
during a fog. Had not the powerful elec
tric light on the Faraday revealed the ap
proaching ship in time to allow pf the
helm being pat to starboard instead of
port, and the engines being reversed, a
frightful loss of life might have recurred.
