Washington, :. The condition of Senator
Davis has improved since last night.
The Senate naval committee had under
consideration this forenoon the construction
of iron shipOuiding, yards and docks for
naval and commercial purposes.
The position taken by gentlemen closely
connected with the administration is that the
British high commission perfectly understood
the views of the American high commission
ers in the negotiation OF the Treaty OF Wash
ington, both from its terms and the asser-
,ions in the protocol. and that therefore, our
government is altogether justified in present
ing the case as it has claiming consequential
damages. In case the board of arbilrators
shall not award gross sum in satisfaction of
the SC, called claims, this government is will
ing to stand by the decision of the arbitrators,

SUBSIDIES FOR NAIL STEAMERS.

There are but three lines Of ocean steam
ers, namely, the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, between San Francisco, Chins and
Japan, with provisions made for semi-month-
ly service after October /, 1873, the United
States and Brazil line (monthly) and the
California, New Zealand and Australian line
(monthly) plying between the United States
and foreign ports, and owned and operated
under our flag. l earnestly recommend that
such liberal contract for carrying the mails
be authorized with these lines as will insure
their continuance If the expediency Of ex-
tending the aid Of Government to lines OF
steamers which hitherto have not received 1t
should be deemed worthy Of the considera-
ton Of Congress. The political and com
mercial objects make it advisable to bestow
such aid on a line under our flag between
Panama and the Western South American
ports By this means much trade now d.
yertcd to other countries might be brought
to us. to the mutual advantage of this cOun-
try and those lying in that quarter OF the
Continent Of America. The report of the
Secretary of the Treasury Will show an
alarming falling off in the carrying trade for
the last Ten or twelve years, and even Tor
the past year. | do no. believe that the
public treasure can be better expended IN
tue interest of the whole people than IN
trying TO recover this trade An CIpendi-
ture Of S5,OOO,OOO per annum for the next
five years, il 1t wonId restore to US our pro
portion Of the carrying trade OF the world,
would be probably expended. The price OF
labor in Europe has 50 much enhanced with
IN the last lew years that tue cost OF building
and operating ocean steamers n the Uhted
States is not 20 much greater than IN Europe.

TIE AB0RIGINES.

Tie policy which was adopted at the
beginning of this administration with regard
to the management of the Indians has been
as successful as it's most ardent friends
anticIpated within so short time 1t has
reduced the expense of their management,
decreased their forages upon the white
settlements, rendered to give the largest
opportunity to the extension of the great
railways through the public domain, and the
pushing settlements in more remote districts
of the country and az the same time
improved the condition of the Indians. The
policy will be maintained without any
change, excepting such as further exper renee
may show to be necessary to render 1t more
efficient.
The subject of converting the so-called
Indian territory south Of Kansas inso home
Tor the Indians, and erecting therein a
terri toral form Of government, is one oil
great Importance. As a compliment to the
existing Indian policy, the question OF
removal to the territory has within he past
year been presented TO many Of the tribes,
resident upon other and less desirable
portions of the public domain, and has
generally been received by them with favor
as preliminary step to the organization OF
such a territory. 1t will be necessary 10
confine the Indians now resident therein 10
TURNS OF proper size which should be
secured them in fee; the residue 70 be used
for the settlement of other friendly Indians.
Efforts will be made in the immediate future
to induce the removal of as many peaceably
disposed Indians only to the Indian
territory as can be settled properly without
disturbing the harmony of those already
there. There is no other location now
available, where a people who are endeavor-
ng to acquire knowledge of pastoral and
agricultural pursuits can be as well accom-
noda ted as upon the unoceupied lands in
the Indian Territory.
A territorial government should, however,
protect the Indians from the inroads of the
whites, for a term of years. until they be-
come sufficiently advanced in the arts and
civilization to guard their own rights, ami
from the disposal of lands held by them for
the same period.
