" EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, OCT.
26.-GEo. H STUART, EsQ.-My Dear Sir
Your favor of the 24th inst, saying that q
change in the Indian policy of the admins
tration is reported to be contemplated, is
lust received. Such q thing has not been
thought of at present. Ifthe policy toward the
Indians can be improved in any way, l will
always be ready to receive suggestions on
the subject, but if any change is made it
must be on the side of the civilization and
Christianization of the Indian. l de not be-
lieve our Creator ever placed different races
of men on this earth with o view of having
the stronger exert all his energies in extermi-
mating the weaker. If any change takes
place in the Indian policy of the Govern
ment while l hold my present office, it Will
be on the humanitarian side OF the question:
Very truly yours, U. S. GRANT"

cided in favor of the United States in the San

lin Minister, Odo Russell, is seeking to

The decision of the Emperor William of
Germany in the San Juan boundary dispute
has been formally communicated to the
American and British Governments. The
Emperor holds that the American claim is
most in accordance with the true interpre-
tation of the treaty of 1888. The English
papers comment at length on the award,
and, as is almost universally the case where
a decision is adverse to British interests, de-
nouuce it in round TERMS. The Times says
" it is unsatisfactory, unclear and undicisive,
but We (they) will accept it." The Post
gravely insists that it will not tend to i'm
prove the relations between England and
America. The French President has for
hidden the sale of caricatures of the ex-
Emperor Napoleon and his family.....The
Spanish Cortes has rejected by a large vote
