The Indian problem.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-The Presi-
dent gave an audience to-day to the COM
mittee appointed at the recent conference
at Lake Mohonk to present to him the re-
suit of their deliberations on the Indian
question. Gen. Fisk headed the delega-
ton and presented the members to the
President. The Hon. Erastus Brooks of
New York read an address embodying the
views of the conference as to the best
method OF improving the condition of the
Indians. Remarks were also made by the
Rev. Lyman Abbott, Mr.. NJ. E. Gates and
Gen. Fish, each of whom advocated the
abolition of the present system of Indian
reservations, and favored the adoption of
policy in regard to them similar to that
so successfully employed in the case of the
colored population. The President listened
attentively to the speakers, and assured
them of the deep interest he had in the
Indian question. He reviewed briefly the
many difficulties encountered in dealing
with the question, which he acknowledged
was most important, and said the great
trouble to his mind was as to the first
practical step to be taken in improving the
condition of the Indians. Shall we give
them more schools and churches and agri-
cultural instruments for use on their
reservations, or shall we deed them
ldhuo III oCNCIdlaS anu AOoNC bhCh
to their own resources. One trouble be
found was to get rid of the influences
the old chiefs. Then, agaia, if we leave
the Indians to themselves, and one be-
comes hungry, loud cry goes up sll over
the country that we are starving the In
dians. How are we to gst the Indians to
miDgle with the whites? We certainly
can't drive them of their reservations. Is
it better to keep them under tutslage
where they are, or could their civilization
be better accomplished in some Other
way? The question is surrounded with
difficulties" continued the Pref ent
land the most important consideration, t.
my mind, at present is, What is the mos
useful thing to be done?" He said that
while 1t 7 light not be well for the cause to
disturb The Indians in their present
homes, ne believed that the reservations
would ultimately be given to them in
s5veralty, and the Indians thrown or
their own resources. The President re-
minded the committee that the cause
which they advocated would require years
to consummste, but ntimated that he
hoped to be able to make beginning IL
the right direction during the remaining
years of his administration.

STEAD SENTENCED.
The Editor of the &c r,;cn WALL Gazeue
ImprisOned for Three M0ns'

LoNDoN, Eovember 10.-The trial OF Mr.
Stead, editor of the FaH Mal Gazette, Mr.
, S-.,,>son Jacques of the same paper, Mrs
Rebeccs Jarrett AM, Nine. Louise Mourey
on the charge OF indecently ao-.suitins
Eliza Armstrong, was begun to- day at the
Central Criminal Court.
The prosecution announced that all the
charges against Mr. Bramwell Booth had
been Withdl swn, and that the conspiracy
charge against the defendants had been
abandoned.
Eliza Armstrong testified regarding the
alleged indecent assault on her, the evi.
dence go far being repetition OF her
former statements.
The Jury returned verdict of guilty oi
indecent assault against all four of the
prisoners.
The Justice then passed sentence on the
prisoners as follows: Mr.. Stead three
months, Rebecca Jarrett six months,
Sampson Jacques one month, all without
hard labor, and Madame Louise Mourey
six months with hard labor.
HOW MR.. STEAD REGARDS HIS TRIAL.
Speaking of the result of the trial, Mr..
Stead said yesterday to a newspaper cor
respondent: 81 am in monstrously good
spirits, because / regard the trial as hav-
y
against my investigations. Let it be re-
membered that out of thirty-seven col
umns hardly three depended upon Mrs.
Jarrett's evidence, and that / employed
her only at the earliest period before had
learned how to go to work myself. /
strongly deprecste any attempt to make a
row on my behalf or to say that l have
been treated upjustly, because that is not
true. made blunder and am now pay
ing the penalty for it. But still l am up
held by the knowledge that my blunder
was better than the wisdom of the Others" "
The foreman of the jury was evidently
much affected on Saturday, because of his
religious sympathy with Stead. He said
af'erward: "Stead is guilty; yes, guilty Of
being deceived"
Therefore" said Mr.. Stead this morn
irg, 81 have written him letter telling
him if l had been in his place should
have found the same verdict. He should
not, therefore, feel unhappy"
Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong will probably
civil Y prosecute MIR. Stead in order to re-
cover damages for injuries inf cted on
themselves and daughter by the abduc-
iion of the latter from her home.

RIEL must die. There is no chance for
his escape from the gslows. The Cana
dian Ministry have determined TO make
an example OF him, even in face of the
murnuTiHgs and threstenings of the
French population. This is bad policy,
especially because it cannot be claimed
that it is strict justice. There is much OF
ektenustion for the rebellion in the con-
dition of the hali-bresds and the treatment
they were subjected to by the Canadian
government. This ought to weigh with
the ministry TO prevent them from COM
mltting crime greCter than Rjel's. The
example of the United States at the close
of the war, too, of which leading Republi-
cans are especially proud, ought not to be
lost upon the Canadians, particularly
when, If followed, it will allay the race
prejudice now msnifesting itself so pas

The performances of The Professor by
Gillette's company are spoken of in the
most congratulatory way by the press
everywhere. An exchange saws: "Mis-

the generous applause and was the recipi-
ent Of handsome floral tribute. The lady,
who is comparatively debutante, is very
handsome and presents an attractive stage
appearance. She is the possessor of a sweet,
sympathetic voice, which shows evidence
of good culture, and her singing is done in
splendid taste. She is evidently eapa-
BILE of something more serious than
ballad singing. Her rendition of Where
are You Going, My Pretty Maid, was quite
coquettisb, and merited instant recog-
milton from the large audience, and called
for an encore. Miss Chestham ia develop
ing good acting talent, and is destined 10
achieve success in comedy parts. The
balance of the cast of the Professor, as
given last evening, was excellent, and a
