too much water to enter our principal harbors. The
powerful ships now built such as the Devastation
class draw asa feet of water the and about four
feet less at the bow. They 10 carry the 3Ston,
l2-inch Iihed gun. The Monarch class draw about
20 feet at the stern and carry the Is

the 25ton II inch ried gun 10 the 10inch and 9nch

seven feet OF wafer, carrying one 0nch rife, which
possesses the same penetrating power as our 15nch

Our most powerful iron-clads, with H1nch side

WASHINGTON, Nov 81
The following are the main points of
the annual report of the Secretary of the
Interior to the President on the Indian
question. The report bears date Oct. 81,
1874:
The operations of the Indian Bureau DUR
ing the past year are highly gratifying. They
furnish conclusive evidence of the justice,
wisdom and practicability of the policy In
The success of this policy Is no longer prob.
lem. II steadily pursued, we shall soon see
all rowing tribes located upon reservations.
We may reasonably expect occasional dis
turbances in the future caused by individuals,
or by disorderly bodies of Indians, but with a
judicious and efficient execution OF the pres
ent mode OF treatment II Is not believed that
we shall see another general, or even serious,
Indian war.
The present method of dealing with the
Indian race aims to induce, and when neces
sary to compel, the roaming tribes TO accept
reservations as rapidly rs possible. On such
reservations they are Instructed in agricul.
ture and In other pursuits incident to ciyiliza-
ton, and with the aid of our Christian organ.
izations their intellectual, moral and relig-
ious culture Is advanced as rapidly as practi.
cable. When a tribe refuses to accept a res
ervation and continues TO violate the laws Of
civilization, 1t Is treated with all needful
severity, and thus made to appreciate the ad
vantages OF accepting the kind and humane
treatment which the Government surely ex-
tends to such as are disposed to peace. By the
judcious exercise of power and persuasion II is
the aim Of the Government to deal kindly and
justly with this unfortunate race and to make
them appreciate, as speedily as possible, the
real motives and purposes Of the Government.
The execution OF this policy ID necessarily
attended with difficulties which cannot al
once be entirely overcome. am happy Ia
being able to say that the earnest, active and
cordial cooperation Of several Christian or

agents has been assigned, and upon whose
nominations alone such agents are appointed,

over receipts of nearly SS,000,OO0, or about %
per cent OF the entire revenue of the depart
ment How far the American people will be
willing to go In this direction remains to be
seen The difficulties in the way Of adopting

while properly guarding the revenues OF the
department, shall also afford to the new and
growing patrons of our country the mail facili-

they can and must be surmounted. / deem it
suitable to say here that ! propose to guard
