M'KINLEY TO CONGRESS THE PRESIDENT REVIEWS THE NATION’S AFFAIRS. Annual Message Is Read in Both Houses of Congress—Various Im- portant Questions Are Discussed —Attitude of the Government in the Difficulty Is Ex- plained—Financial Condition of Chinese the Gevernment Is Said to Be ( Most Satisfactory—Policy Regard- ing the Philippines Is Set Forth— Porto Rican Affairs Considered— Business of the Various Depart- ments Reviewed. The following is a synopsis covering the most important points contained in the presdent’s messagé: In opening, the president says: At the outgoing of the old and the incoming of the new century you begin the last session of the Fifty-sixth con- Bress with evidences on every hand of individual prosperity and with proof of the growing strength and increasing power for good of republican institu- tions. Your countrymen will join you in felicitation that American liberty is more firmly established than ever be- fore, and that love for it, and the de- termination to preserve it are more uni- versal than at any former period of our history.” . The president then refers to the won- derful growth and development of the country during the century just closing. The population in 1800 was 5,308,483. To-day it is 76,304,709, In our foreign relations, says the president, the dominant question has been the. treatment of the Chinese problem. Our relations with all other countries have been happy. The president goes into the Chinese question at great length. The history of the outbreak, familiar to all readers, is narrated in detail. The subsequent landing of the troops of the allied powers are the events which succeed- ed are fully set forth. The president then continues: ‘The policy of the United States through all this trying period v clearly an- nounced and scrupulou: carried out. A circular note to the powers, dated July 5, proclaimed our attitude. Treat- ing the condition in the north as one of virtual anarchy, in which the great provinces of the south and southwest had no share, we regarded the local authorities in the latter quarters as representing the Chinese people with whom we sought to remain in peace and friendship. Our declared aims in- volved no war with the Chinese nation. ‘We adhered to the legitimate office of rescuing the imperial legation, obtain- ing redress for wrongs already suf- fered, securing, wherever possible, the safety of American life and property in China, and preventing a spread of the disorders or their recurrence. AS was then said, ‘the policy of the government of the United States is to seek a solu- tion which may bring about perman- ent safety and peace to China, preserve Chinese territorial and administrative entity, protect all rights guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty and inter- national law, and safeguard for the world the principle of equal and tm- partial trade with all parts of the Chi- nese empire.’ Faithful to these pro- testations, which, as it proved, reflect- ed views and purposes of the other co- operating governments, all our efforts jhave been directed towards ending the anomalous situation in China by nego- tiations for a settlement at the earli- est possible moment. As soon as the sacred duty of relieving our legation and its dependents was accomplished we withdrew from active hostilities, Jeaving our legation under an adequate guard at Pekin, as a channel of negoti- ation and settlement—a course adopted by others of the interested parties. Overtures of the empowered represent- atives of the Chinese emperor have been considerately entertained. The Russian proposition looking to the res- toration of the imperial power in Pe- kin has been accepted as in full con- sonance with our own desires, for we have held and hold that effective rep- aration for wrongs suffered, and an en- during settlement that will make their recurrence impossible can best be brought about under an authority which the Chinese nation reverences and obeys. While so doing we forego no jot of cur undoubted right to exact exemplary and deterrent punishment of the responsible authors and abettors of the criminal acts through which we and other nations have suffered griev- ous injury. The general basis of nego- tiaticns formulated by the government of the French republic have been ac- cepted with certain reservations as to details, made necessary by our own cir- cumstances, but, like similar reserva- tions by other powers, open to discus- sion in the progress of the negotia- tions. The matter of indemnity for our wronged citizens is a question of grave concern. Measured in money alone, a sufficient reparation may prove be- yond the ability of China to meet. All the powers concur in emphatic dis- claimers of any purpose of aggrandize- ment through the dismemberment of the empire. I am disposed to take due compensation that may be made in part by increased guarantees of security of foreign rights and immunities, and, most important of all, by the opening of China to the equal commerce of all the world. These views have been and will be earnestly advocated by our rep- resentatives. The government of Rus- sia has put forward a suggestion that, in the event of protracted divergence of views in relation to indemnities, the matter be relegated to the court of ar- pitration at The Hague, I favorably incline to this, believing that high tri- unal of arbitration could not fail to reach a solution no, less conducive to the stability and enlarged prosperity of China itself than ‘immediately benefi- cial to the powers, ‘The message states that the relations with the various nations are cordial. Minor diplomatic negotiations with several European and Central and South American countries are progress- ing satisfactorily or have been happily concluded. ~Good will prevails in our relations with the German emperor. Our friendly relations with Great Brit- ain continue. The important questions arising out of the war in South Africa and our policy in relation thereto are fully explained. Our claims upon the government of the sultan for reparation for injuries suffered by American citizens in Ar- menia and elsewhere give promise of early and satisfactory settlement. His majesty’s good disposition in this re- gard has been evinced by the issuance of an order for rebuilding the American college at Harpoot. The president announces that formal ratifications of the convention for the pacific settlement of international dis- putes have been received at The Hague from sixteen powers. In accordance with Article xxlll. of the convention the president announces the appoint- ment as arbitrators of ex-President Harrison, Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, Hon. J. W. Griggs and Hon. George Gray. On the subject of reciprocity treaties the president says: “Since my last communication to the congress on this subject special commercial agreements under the third section of the tariff act have been proclaimed with Portugal, with Italy and with Germany. Com- mercial conventions under the general limitations of the fourth section of the same act have been concluded with Nicaragua, with Ecuador, with the Do- minican republic, with Great Britain on behalf of the Island of Trinidad and with Denmark on behalf of the Island of St. Croix. These will be early com- municated to the senate. Negotiations with other governments are in progress for the improvement and security of our commercial relations.” Continu- ing this subject, the president says: “The policy of reciprocity so manifestly rests upon the principles of interna- tional equity and has been so repeated- ly approved by the people of the United States, that there ought to be no hesi- tation in either branch of the congress in giving to it full effect.” Touching on the subject of an inter- oceanic canal, the president says that this important matter has assumed a new phase. He refers to the forfeit of the contract of the Maritime Canal company, and explains the reason therefor. Continuing, the president says: “Overtures for a convention to effect the building of a canal under the au- spices of the United States are under consideration. In the meantime the views of the congress upon the general subject in the light of the report of the commission appointed to examine the comparative merits of the various trans-isthmian ship canal projects may be awaited.” Taking up the question of finances, the president says: “It is gratifying to be able to state that the surplus revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900, were $79,527,- 060.18. For the six preceding years we had only deficits, the aggregate of which from 1894 to 1899, inclusive, amounted to $233,022,991.14. The receipts for the year from all sources, exclu- sive of postal revenues, aggregated $567,240,851.89, and exports for all pur- poses except for the administration of the postal department, aggregated $487,713,791.71. The receipts from cus- toms were $233,164,871.16, an increase over the preceding years of $27,036,389.41 The receipts from internal revenue re $295,327,926.76, an increase of $21,- over 1899. The receipts from It is gratifying also to note that year. miscellaneous sources were $38,748,053.97, as against $36,394,976.92 for the previous year. It is gratifying also to note that during the year a considerable reduc- tion is shown in the expenditures of the government. The war department expenditures for the fiscal year 1900 were $134,774,767.78, a reduction of $95,- 06,486.69 over those of 1899. In the navy department the expenditures were $55,- 953,677.72 for the year 1900, as against $63,942,104.25 for the preceding year, a decrease of $7,983,026.53. In the ex- penditures on account of Indians there was a decrease in 1900 over 1899 of $2,630,604.38, and in the civil and mis- cellaneous expenses for 1900 there was a reduction of $13,418,065.74. Because of the excess of revenues over expendi- tures the secretary of the treasurer was enabled to apply bonds and other securities to the sinking fund to the amount of $56,544,556.06. The details of the sinking fund are set forth in the report of the secretary of the treasury, to which I invite attention. The sec- retary of the treasury estimates that the receipts for the current fiscal year will aggregate $580,000,000, and the ex- penditures $500,000,000, leaving an ex- cess of revenues over expenditures of $80,000,000. The present condition of the treasury is one of undoubted strength. It will be the duty, as I am sure it will be the disposition of the congress, to provide whatever further legislation is needed to insure the continued parity under all conditions between our two forms of metallic money, silver and gold. Our surplus revenues have per- mitted the secretary of the treasury since the close of the fiscal year to call in the funded loan of 1891 in the sum of $25,364,500. To and including Nov. 30, $23,458,100 of these bonds have been paid. This sum, together with the amount which may accrue from further redemptions under the call will be ap- plied to the sinking fund.” The president says that the benefi- cia: effect of the new financial act, so far as it relates to the modification of the national banking act, is already apparent. In concluding this subject, he says: “A large increase in national bank note circulation has resulted from the act, which permits national banks to issue circulation notes to the par value of the United States bonds deposited as security instead of only 90 per cent thereof, as heretofore. The increase in circulating notes from March 14 to Noy. 30 is $77,889,570. The party in power is committed to such legislation as will better make the currency responsive to the varying needs of business at all seasons and in all sections.” “Our foreign trade,” says the presi- dent, “shows a remarkable record of commercial and imdustrial progress. The total of imports and exports, for the first time in the history of the country, exceeded $2,000,000,000. These experts are greater than they have ev- er been before, the total for the fiscal year 1900 being $1,394,483,082, an in- creage over 1899 of $167,459,780. ‘The im- ports for the year amounted to $849,- 941,184, an increase over 1899 of $152,- — 792,695. The increase is largely in ma- terials for manufacture, and. is in re- sponse to the rapid develo; manufacturing in the United States.” The president recommends that con- gress, at its present session, reduce the internal revenue taxes imposed to meet the expenses of the war with Spain in the sum of $30,000,000. This reduction Should be secured by the remission of those taxes which \experience has shown to be the most\burdensome to the industries of the people. He spe- cially urges that there be included, in whatever reduction is made, th legacy tax and bequests for public uses of a literary, educational or charitable char- acter, In again urging immediate action by the congress on measures to promote American shipping and foreign trade, the president directs attention to the recommenéations on the subject in pre- vious messages. On the subject of trusts, the presi- dent says: ‘Restraint upon such com- binations as are injurious and which are within federal jurisdiction should be promptly applied by the congress.” Touching the Philippine question, the president adverts to his former declaration to use the authority vested in him to uphold the sovereignty of the United States in those distant lands, as in all other lands where our flag right- fully floats. He has steadily pursued the purpose thus declared. Our forces have successfully controlled the great er part of the islands, overcoming the organized forces of the insurgents and carrying crder and administrative reg- ularity to all quarters. What opposi- tion remains is, for the most. part, scat- tered. Desiring to bring about a stable administration of affairs as early as possible, the president says he ap- pointed for that purpose the commis- sion headed by Judge Taft. “This com- mission,” says the president, “is com- posed of eminent citizens, representing the diverse geographical and political interests of the country and bringing to its task the ripe fruits of long and in- telligent: service in educational, admin- istrative and judicial careers, has‘made great progress form the outset. As early as Aug. 21, 1900, it submitted a preliminary report, which will be laid before congress, and from which it ap- pears that already the good effects of returning order are felt; that business, interrupted by hostilities, is improving as peace extends; that a larger are. is under sugar cultivation than ever before; that the customs receipts are greater than at any time during Span- ish rule; that economy and efficiency in the military, administration have created a surplus fund fof $6,000,000, available for needed public improve- ments; that a stringent civil service law is in preparation; that railroad communications are expanding, open- ing up rich districts, and that a com- prehensive system of education is be- ing’ evolved. Later reports from the commission show a yet more encour- aging advance toward insuring the benefits of liberty and good govern- ment to the Filipinos, in the interests of humanity and with the aim of build- ing up an enduring, self-supporting and self-administering community in those Far Eastern seas.” “I have, upon another occasion,” continues the president, “called the Filipinos ‘the wards of the nation.’ Our obligation as guardian was not lightly assumed; it must not be otherwise than honestly fulfilled, aiming, first of all, to benefit those who have come un- der our fostering care. It is our duty so to treat them that our flag may be no less beloved in the mountains of Luzon and the fertile zones of Mindan- ao and Negros than it is at home; that there as here, it shall be the revered symbol of liberty, enlightenment and progress in every avenue of develop- ment.” “The civil government for Porto Rico, provided’ for by the act of con- gress approved April 12, 1900, is in suc- cessful eperation, according to the president. The courts have béen es- tablished. The governor and his asso- ciates, working intelligently and har- moniously, are meeting with commend- able success. On the 6th of November a general election was held in the is- land for members of the legislature, and the body elected has been called to convene on the first Monday in Decem- ber. He recommends that legislatior be enacted by the congress conferring upon the secretary of the interior su- pervision over the public lands in Port Rico.” TThe president renews his recom- mendation as to the necessity for cable communication with Hawaii, with an extension to Manila. The territorial government of Hawaii is in full opera- tion, and conditions on the island are highlv satisfactory. Qo 25th day of July, 1900, the pre -ays, he directed that a call be ‘or an election in Cuba for me: ft a constitutional convention to fr a constitution, as a basis for a stable and independent government in the island. The election was held on thé 15th of September. and the con- vention assembled on the 15th of No- vember, 1900, and is now in session. When the session concludes its labors the president says he will transmit to the congress the constitution as framed by the ccnvention, for its considera- tion and for such action as it may deem advisable. The president next takes up the ques- tion of an increase in the army. On this subject he says: ‘The present strength of the ermy is 100,000 men— 65,000 regulars and 35,000 volunteers. Under the act of March 2, 1899, on the 30th of June next, the present volun- teer force will be discharged, and the regular army will be reduced to 2,4447 officers and 20,025 enlisted men. In Porto Rieo we have reduced the gar- risons to 1,636, which includes 896 native troops. There is no room for further reduction there. We will be required to keep a considerable. force in the Philip- pine islands for some time to come. From the best information obtainable we shall need there for’ the immediate future from 50,000 to 60,000 men. I am sure the number may be reduced as the insurgents shall come to acknowledge the authority of the United States, of which there are assuring indications. It must be apparent that we will re- quire an army of about 60,000, and that during the present conditions in Cuba and the Phikppines the president should have authority to increase the force to the present number of 100,000. “The continued and raptd growth of the postal service,” the president says, @ sure index of the great and in- business-activity of the coun- ent of:|try./ Its most strifing new develop- ment is in the extension of rural free delivery. This service ameliorates the isolation of farm life, conduces to good roads and quickens and extends the dissemination of general information. Experience thus far has tended to allay the apprehension that it would be so expensive as to forbid its general adoption or make it a serious burden.” The president approves the recom- mendations of the secretary of the navy for new vessels, and for addi- tional officers and men, which the re- quired increase in the navy makes nec- essary. He commends the establish- ment of a national naval reserve and of the grade of vice admiral. Pension matters were touched on briefly. The president says: |The act of May, 1900, among ‘other things, pro- vides for an extension of income to widows pensioned under said act to $250 per annum. The secretary of the interior believes that by the operations of this act the number of persons pen- sioned under it will increase, and the increased annual payment fer pensions will be between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. In conclusion the president says: “In our great prosperity we must guard against thé danger it invites of extravagance in government expendi- tures and appropriations; and the cho- sen representatives of the people will, I doubt not, furnish an example in their legislation of that wise economy which in a season of plenty husbands for the future. In this era of great business activity and opportunity caution is not untimely. It will not abate, but strengthen confidence. It will not re- tard but promote legitimate induStrial and commercial expansion. Our grow- ing power brings with it temptations and perils requiring constant vigilance to avoid. It must not be used to invite conflicts, nor for oppression, but for the more effective maintenance of these principles of equality and justice upon which our institutions and happiness depend. Let us keep always in mind that the foundation of our government {s liberty; its superstructure, peace.” LOST HIS TEMPER. ’ Result Was He Found Just What He Was Looking For. ‘The fur salesman was holding up on his arm a very handsome specimen of what appeared to be Russian sable. “You wouldn't think,” he said, “that that color was indirectly due to a loss of temper, would you?” “I didn’t know that the Russian sable had a bad teinper,’”’ responded the cus- tomer. “Your knowldege is not always to be relied on,’”” laughed the salesman. “This is not a Russian sable skin. It is a red fox, and thereby, so to speak, hangs a tale.” ‘The customer asked that it be unfolded. “In New York city,” responded the salesman, “lives a furrier, who, knowing a good deal about the dyeing of seal skins and other furs, sought for years and years to find a dye that would trans- form a red fox skin into a Russian sable, as far as appearance went. All his efforts were nugatory and void, as the lawyers say, but he would not give up the search. One day, less than two years ago, he was busy over his, dye pots seeking the elusive alchemy. He thought this time he had it sure, but he was disappointed once more, and I am sorry to say he lost his temper and acted in a most unseemly manner. He held in his hand a bottle with a chemical of some kind in it that he had intended using in some other dyes that he did know about, and in his violence he knocked the bottle against a box and broke its neck. This made him madder than ever, and with a bad word he hurled the broken bottle and its remaining con- tents into the disappointing dye pot. Then he left the place, and when he came back, much cooler in mind, behold, there was that in the dye pot which caused his special wonder and he began an imme- diate investigation. Just what effect the chemical or the broken bottle had on the dye he could not ‘ell, but a very ap- parent change had been effected, and he hastened to try a strip of fur in it. When the fur was taken out it was no longer red fox. Neither was it quite Russian sable, but it was on ihe way, and after a little experimenting with the unexpect- ed chemical he hit upon the right thing, and the secret was his. To-day he is converting red fox skins into Russian sable for 1900 firms in all parts of the world, and it is needless to say he is not, getting poor at it. Russian sable is a beautiful and expensive fur, but this imitation is quite as effective, for three or four years, as the genuine thing. and doesn’t cost anything like as_ much. Cheaper furs, that look as well, while they last, as expensive ones, are more satisfactory anyway to the majority of purchasers, because styles change and people want something ne once in awhile if they can afford #t.’’—Washing- | ton Star. a —_>__—_— Friendly Dog Stopped the Fight. On one of the most pleasant side streets of Cleve¥ind live two dogs—a large, digni- fied hound and a saucy, small fox terrier. The two are the best of friends, and the big dog is always watching over the little one and doing his best to keep the pert fellow out of a fight. But the other day his watchfulness failed. Another terrier came and yelled defiance at the hound’s comrade and when the big dog arrived upon the scene it was to behold a frantic, tufmbling, snapping heap, of which his favorite was part. He seemed to consider the state of things, then gave a sigh of patient dignity and began to walk around the combatants, keeping a critical eye on the sttuggle and evidently acting the part of umpire. His favorite was getting the worst of it, but he did not interfere. May- be he thought the punishment of defeat was better than any he could bestow. He watched silently till all at once his friend gave a yelp of real pain and trouble. Then suddenly the big dog awoke. With a bound he was beside the other two. ‘With one tap of his paw he sent the vic- tor, dver into the dust, grabbed his favor- ite in his mouth as a cat grabs her kitten and made off to his own back yard. Dur- ing the next hour he licked, scolded and fondled the repentant terrier. And now the two are more devoted than ever, though the little dog seems more meek and decidedly more obedient than of yore. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. —_—___-———-: Temporary Incognito. “what are the names of that newly married couple in the next flat?” “Oh, we can’t find out for a few weeks; each now calls the other ‘Bird- ie’ ’—Indianapolis Journal.

Many of our leading citizens of great wealth’ are hard workers. ground when ill-health attacks him. Our laboring classes are found in/herds and hordes in the “hivesofindustry.” What isall this work for? In most cases it is for daily bread, in many for maintenance of others. Great numbers also work to ucquire wealth. Some for great commercial prominence. Some to preserve intact a splendid inheri- tance. Necessity, generosity and ambition are the inspiration of all classes of indus- try, and the object of every one fallstothe Maintaining health is the most vital thing in the world for workers of every class, and the usefulness of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and oerve remedy, as a strengthener of the constitutional and vital powers, is beyond all question.
