Indian Affairs.

The secretary Of the interior, in his
annual report, regards the situation in
the Indian service as favorable, and as
a vindication of the humane policy in
augurated at the beginning of Presi-
dent Grants executive term. He
recommends that the system of cash
annuities be abolished, and that pay
ments to the Indians be hereafter made
in goods and supplies. He says the
Sioux nation is almost completely sur
rounded by tribes that are really friend
Iy to the government and at the same
time bitterly hostile to the Sioux. If
these friendly tribes could be literally
supplied with improved firearms and
ammunition, the present supremacy of
the Sioux might in a few years be de-
stroyed with but little aid from the
army.
The secretary refers to the lawless
condition of the Indian territory, and
says if the Okmulgee constitution with
the proposed amendments is not adopted
at the next meeting Of the Indian coun-
Gil, and Congress shall not deem it ad-
visabIe to erect territorial government
within the territory, he trusts that the
necessary Legislation may be obtained
to at least provide for the organization
of court or courts.
The secretary invites the attention of
congress to the request from the colony
of Mennonites residing in Southern
Russia for a modification of the exist
ing land laws In certain particulars to
enable them to settle upon our public
domain in compact colony. The en-
tire area they will probably require viii
be about five hundred thousand acres.

THE ESTIMATES.

The estimates for the next fiscal year
are S19, ,252, ,235, and to this is added
some 1854, $50 for current repairs, build
ings, docks and incidental expenses IN
navy-yards, etc. These estimates are
less than those of last year by rather
more than 81, 1000, 600. but they do not
include any extraordinary expenditure
for the permanent improvement of the
navy, nor the aFnaments necessary either
for the repair of our iron-clad feet,
nor for the continued prosecution of
some of the great works necessary to a
proper condition of our naval estab-
lishnent.

be held this evening at s o'clock. Among the
causes which have conduced to the infusion
OF greater energy into the preparations for

the successful efforts Of the president, DR..

basis OF progress and Improvement. The
medical department could not well be behind
In this new departure, and II Is hoped that
the instruction will be worthy OF the city
and the university. Ampler meahs for the
demonstration Of different subjects will be
employed, and the professors will assume
that direct supervision Of the students ad-
vance which Is so essential In the study of
profession. 1t may be mentioned, as a mark
OF tine tendency towards q more carful teach
Ing, that during the past winter ut least three
OF the professors made almost constant use
OF the microscope in demonstrating what
