PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
The reportsof the heads of the several ex-
ecutive departments, required by law to be
submitted to me, which are herewith trans-
mitted, and the reports of the secretary of the
treasury and the attorney general, made di-
rectly to congress, furnish .1 coinpi' chensivo
view of the administrative Work not the last.
fiscal year relating to internal affairs.
The reports will, I believe show that ovei y
question has been a.p1iroachcdfimisidered and
decided from the st: midpoint- of public duty
and upon considerations affecting the public
interests alonv. Again I invite to every branch
of the service the attention and scrutiny of
congress.
The Work of the state department during the
last year has been characterized by an unusual
number of important. ncgoi lotions. and by dip-
lomatic results of a notable. and highly benefi-
cial character. Among these are the recipro-
cal trade arrangements which have been con-
cluded, in the exercise of the powers conferred
by section 3 of the tariff law, with the republic
of Brazil, with Spain for its West India pos-
sessions and with San Domingo. Like negoti-
ations with other countries have been much
advanced, and it. is hoped that before the close
of the your further. definite l radc arrangements
of great value will be. concluded.
In View of ”)0 reports which have been re-
ceived as to the diminution of the seal herds in
the Behring sea, l'dl:c1ncd it. wise to propose to
her majesl'y‘s go: 1'1'11111c111. in February last
that an agreement, for a closed season should
be made, pending the negotiations for arbitra—
tion, which then scorned to be approaching a
favorable conclusion. After much corre-
spondence and delays for which this govern-
111c11twas not; rospoi1sible,an agreement was
reached and signwl 11:1 the l5ill of June, by
which (lrcutl1'il;:i.11111(101'11111I{,i'roin thatdatc
and 1111'. il l11.'1 l, It'd: ,l,o prohibit the killing by
l1c1's11b_,'(L:"1.< of seals in tho l-Echring sod, and
the government of the United States, during
the same period, to enforce its existing prohi—
bition against pelagic scaling and to limit the
catch by the Fur l-‘cul company upon the is-
lands to 7,500 skins. If this agreement could
llaL.'1.Ll11L1.Ln rout-hell earlier. in response to the
strenuous endeavors of this government, it
would have been more cll'u-tivc; but, coming
even as late as it did, it. unquestionably re-
5111ch in greatly diminishing the destruction
of the seals by the (‘unadian sealers.
In my last. annual message I stated that the
basis of arbitration proposed by her iiiajesty’s
government for the adjustment- of the long
pending controversy as to the seal fisheries
was not acceptable. 1 am glad now to be able
to announce that forms satisfactory to this
government have been agreed upon and that
an agreement as to the arbitrators is all that is
necessary to the completion of the convention.
Provision should be made for a. joint demar-
cation of the frontier line between Canada and
the I'uitcd rllnlcs, wherever required by the
increasing border settlements, and especially
for the exact local ion of the water boundary in
the straits. and rivers.
I should ha ve. been glad to announce some
favorable. disposition of lhe boundary dispute
between Usual. Britain and Venezuela. touch-
ing the western frontier of llritish Guiana, but
the friendlv efforts of the United States in that
direction have thus far been unavailing. This
government will continue to express its con-
cern at. any appearance of foreign encroach-
ment on territories long under the administrat-
five control of American states. The deter-
mination of a. disputed boundary is easily
attainable by amicable arbitration, where the
rights of the respective parties rest, as here, on
historic facts, readily ascertainablc.
Triumph for American Pork.
The law of the last congress placed this gov-
ernment in a position to effectively urge the
removal of discriminations against our meats.
It is gratifying to be able to state that Ger-
many, Denmark, Italy, Austria and France,
in the order named, have opened their ports to
inspected American pork products.
The removal of these restrictions in every
instance was asked for and given solely upon
the ground that we had now provided a. meat
inspection that should be accepted as adequate
to the complete removal of the dangers, real
or fancied, which had been previously urged.
The state department, our ministers abroad
and the secretary of agriculture have co-oper-
ated with unflagging and intelligent zeal for
the accomplishment of this great result. The
outlines of an agreement have been reached
with Germany, looking to equitable trade con-
cessions in consideration of the continued free
importation of her sugars, but the time has not
yet arrived when this correspondence can be
submitted to congress.
The New Orleans Lynching.
The lynching at New Orleans in March last
of eleven men of Italian nativity by a mob of
citizens was a most deplorable and discredit-
ablo incident. It did not, however, have its
origin in any general animosity to the Italian
people. nor in any disrespect to the govern-
ment. of Italy, with which our relations were
of the most friendly character.
It was at once represented by the Italian min-
ister that several of those whose lives had been
taken by the mob were Italian subjects, and a
demand was made for the punishment of the
participants and for an indemnity to the fam-
ilies of those who were killed.
It is to be regretted that the manner in which
these claims were presented was not such as to
promote a calm discussion of the questions in-
volved; but this may well be attributed to the
excitement and indignation which the crime
naturally evoked. The temporary absence of
a. minister of Italy at this capital has re-
tarded the further correspondence, but it is
not doubted that a. friendly conclusion is at-
tainable.
Some suggestions growing out of this un-
happy incident are worthy the attention of
congress. It would, I believe. be entirely com-
petent for congress to make offenses against
the treaty rights.of foreigners domiciled in the
United States cognizable in the federal courts.
This has not, however, been done, and the
federal officers and courts have no power in
such cases to intervene either for the protec-
tion of a foreign citizen or for the punishment
of his sin yers. It seems to me 210110an this
state of the law, that the office of the state
charged with police and judi 1 powers in
such cases must, in the consideration of inter-
national questions growing out of such inci-
dents, be regarded in such sense as federal
agents as to make this government answerable
for their acts in cases where it would be
answerable if the United States had. used
its constitutional power to define and punish
crimes against treaty rights.
The Itatu Incident.
The civil war in Chili, which began in J anu—
ary last, was continued, but fortunately with
infrequent and not important armed collisions,
until Aug. 28, when the congressional forces
landed near Valparaiso, and after a. bloody en-
gagement captured that city. President Bal-
maceda at once recognized that his cause was
lost, and a provisional government was speedily
established by the victorious party. Our min-
ister was promptly directed to recognize and
put himself in communication with this gov-
ernment. so soon as it. should have established
its dc fat-t0 character, which was done. Dur-
ing the pcndcucy of this civil contest- frequent.
indirect. appeals were made to this government
to extend 111.1lligcrcnt rights to the insurgents
and to give audience to their representatives.
This was declined, and that policy was pur-
sued llll'l)lll:ll‘.'.il‘lt, which this government, when
wrenchcd by civil wa.r,so strenuously insisted
upon on the part of European nations. The
Itafn, an armed vessel commanded by a naval
officer of the ins-urgent flcet, manned by its
sailors and with soldiers on board, was seized
under ])lOL(‘S.‘Ll of the United States court at
San Diego, ( n‘l. for a violation of our neutral-
ity lawn. \Vhile in the custody of an officer of
the court the vessel was forcibly \vrcsted from
his control and. put to sea. It would have been
inconsistent “Elli the dignity and self respect
of this government not to have insisted that
the Itala should be returned to San Diego to
abide the judgment of the court. This was so
clear to the Junta of the Congressional party, .
established at lqniquc, that, before the arrival
of the Ilata at that. port, the secretary of for-
eign relations of the provisional government
addressed to Rear Admiral Brown, command-
ing the United States naval forces, a. communi-
cation, f'rom which the fol lowing is an extract:
“The provisional government has learned by
the (Labh-grains ol’ the Associated Press that
Advertise in Winn-lint GAzanrn.
the transport Itata, detained in San Diego by
order of the United States for taking on board
munitions of war and in possession of the mar-
shal. left. the port, carrying on board this offi-
cial, who was landed at. a point near the coast,
and then continued her 101 acre * ’F * If this
news he corr cut, this gov crninent would de-
plore the conducl ol‘ the Itata, and, as an evi-
dence that. it is not disposed to support or agree
to the infraction of the laws of the United
States, the undersigned takes advantage of the
personal relations you have been good enough
to maintain with him since your arrival' in this
port to declare to 5011 I but . s soon as she' is
within reach of our orders his government w ill
put the Item, with the arms and munitions
‘ she took on boar'd 111 San Diego, at the dispo-
sition of the I nitcd States.
Atrial 1n the district court of the Lnited
States for the southern district of California
has recently resulted in a decision holding
among other things that, inasmuch as the Con-
gressional party had not been recognized as a
belligerent, the acts done in its interest could
not be a violation of our neutrality laws.
From this judgment the United States has ap-
pealed, not that the condemnation of the ves-
sel is a matter of importance, but that we may
know what the present. state of 0111' law is; for
if this construction of the statute is correct-
thei'c is obvious necessity for revision and
amendment.
During the progress of the war in Chili this
government tendered its good ofiiccs to bring
about a peaceful adjustment, and it was at one
time hoped that a. good result might herein-lied,
but in this we were disappointed.
Amer-l um Officials “’ero Impartial.
The instructions to our naval officers and to
our minister at Santiago, from the first to the
last. of this struggle, enjoined upon them the
most impartial treatment and absolute non-
intcrferencc. 1 am satisfied that these instruc-
tions were observed and that our represents.-
tives were always watchful to use their influ-
ence impartially in the interest. of humanity,
and, on more than one occasion, did so effec-
tively. No official complaint of the conduct
of our minister or of our naval ofi‘iccrs during
the struggle has been presented to this govern-
ment; and it is a matter of regret that so many
of our own people should have given our to un-
official charges and complaints that muni-
festly had their origin in rival interests and in
a wish to pervert the relations of the United
States with Chili.
The collapse of the governtnont of llalmaceda
brought about. a condition 11 liich is unfortu-
nately too familiar in the history of the Con-
tral and South American states. ‘vVith the
overthrow of the Balmacedu government, he
and many of his councilors and officers be-
came at once fugitives for their lives and ap-
pealed to the commanding officers of the for—
eign naval vessels in the harbor of Valparaiso
and to the resident. foreign ministers at San-
tiago for asylum. This asylum was freely
given, according to my information, by the
naval vessels of several foreign powers and by
several of the legations at Santiago. The
American minister, as well as his colleagues,
acting upon the impulses of humanity, cxlcnd-
ed asylum to political refugees whose lives
were in peril. I have not been willing to
direct the surrender of such. of these persons
as are still in the American legation without
suitable conditions.
. The treatment of our minister fora time was
such as to call for a decided protest, am: .1. was
very gratifying to observe that unfriendly
measures, which were undoubtedly the result
of the prevailing excitement, were at once re-
scinded or suitably relaxed.
The Massacre of American Sailors.
0n the 16th of October sailors of the United
States steamship Baltimore were assaulted by
armed men nearly simultaneously in different
localities in the city. One petty officer was
killed outright and seven or eight seamen were
seriously wounded, one of whom has since
died.
An investigation of the affair was promptly
made by a. board of officers of the Baltimore,
and their report shows that these assaults
were unprovoked, that our men were conduct-
ing themselves in a. peaceable and orderly
manner, and that some of the police of the
city took part in the assault and used their
weapons with fatal effect, while a. few others,
with some well'disposed citizens, endeavored
toprotect our men. Thirty-six of our sailors
were arrested, and some of them, while being
' taken to prison, were cruelly beaten and mal-
treated. Thc fact that they were all dis-
charged, no criminal charge being lodged
against any one of them, shows very clearly
that they were innocent of any breach of the
peace.
The attention of the Chiliau government
was at once called to this affair, and it. was
advised that if such qualifying facts did not
exist this government would confidently expect
full and prompt reparation.
Chili Must Give Satisfaction.
It is to be regret tcd that the reply 0f the sec-
retary for foreign affairs of the provisional
government was couched in an offensive tone.
To this no response has been made. This gov-
ernment is now awaiting the result of an in-
vestigation which has been conductcd by the
criminal court at Valparaiso. It is reported
unofficially that the investigation is about. com-
piled, and it is e. :pectcd that the result will
soon be communicated to this government, to-
gether with some adequate and satisfactory
response to the note by which the attention of
Chili was called to this incident. If these just
expectations should be disappointed or further
needless delay intervene, I will, by a special
message, bring this matter again to the atten-
tion of congress for such action as may be nec-
essary.
The Chinese Outbreak Against Foreigners.
The late outbreak against foreigners 111 vari-
ous parts of the Chinese empire has been a
cause of deep concern in view of the numerous
establishments of our citizens in the interior
of that country.
The Chinese government has declined to re-
ceive Mr. Blair as the minister of the United
States on the ground that as a participant,
while a senator, in the enactment of the exist-
ing legislation against the introduction of
Chinese la‘o111rcrs, he has become unfriendly
and objectionable to China.
You will be called upon to consider the ex-
pcdiency of making special provision by law for
the temporary admission of some Chinese arti-
sans and laborers in connection with the ex-
hibit of Chinese industries at the approaching
Columbian exposition. I regard it as desirable
that the Chinese exhibit be facilitated in every
proper way.
[Refei once is here made to American rights
in the Caroline islands and the Interconti-
nental railway.]
Russian Persecution of Hebrews.
This government has found occasion to ex-
press, in a friendly spirit, but with much
earnestness, to the government of the czar, its
serious concern because of the harsh measures
now being enforced against the Hebrews in
Russia. By the revival of antiseniitic laws.
long in abeyance, great numbers of those un-
fortunate peoplc, have been constrained to
abandon their homes and leave the empire by
reason of the impossibility of finding subsist-
ence within the pale to which it is sought tc
confine them. The immigration of these peo-
ple to the United States—many other countries
being closed to them—is largely increasing and
is likely to assume proportions which may
make it difficult to find homes and employment
for them here and to seriously affect the labm
market.
It is estimated that over 1,000,000 will be
forced from Russia. within a few years. The
Hebrew is never a beggar; he has always kept
the law—life by toil—often under severe and
oppressive civil restrictions. It is also true
that no race, sect or class has more fully cared
for its own than the Hebrew race. But the
sudden transfer of such a multitude under
conditions that tend to strip them of their
small accumulations and to depress their ener-
gies and courage is neither good for them nor
for us.

The Effect of the Tar“! Bill.
The general interest in the operations of the
treasury department has beemmuch augment-
ed during the last year by reason of the con-
flicting predictions, which accompanied and
followed the tariff and other legislation 01' the
last congress affecting the revenues, as to the
results of this legislation upon the treasury
and upon the country. On the one hand it was
contended that imports would. so fall off as
to leave the treasury bankrupt and that the
prices of articles entering into the living of the
people would be so enhanced as to disastronsly
affect their 1: omfort and happiness, While on
the other it was argued that the loss to the
revenue, largely the result of placing sugar on
the free list, would be a, direct gain to the peo-
ple; that the prices of the necessaries of life,
including those most highly protected, would
not be enhanced; that labor would have a
larger market and the products of the farm
advanced prices, ‘ while the treasury surplus
Ind receipts would be adequate to meet the
Ipproprlations, including the large exceptional
expenditures for the refunding to the states
of the direct tax and the redemption of the 4%
per cent. bonds.
It' is not my purpose to enter at any length
into a discussion of the effects of the legislation
to which I have referred, but a. brief examina-
tion of the statistics of the treasury and a gen-
eral glance at the state of business throughout
the country will, I think, satisfy any impartial
inquircr that its results have disappointed the
evil prophecies of its opponents and in a large
measure realized the hopeful predictions of its
friends. Rarely, if ever before, in the history
of the country has there been a. time when the
proceeds of one day s labor, or the product of. .
one farmed acre, would purchase so large an
amount of those things that. enter into the liv-
ing of the masses of the people. I believe that
a. full test will develop the fact. that the tariff
act of the Fifty-first congress is very favorable
in its average effect upon the prices of articles
enteiing into common use.
During the twelve months from Oct. 1,1590,
to Sept. 30, 1891, the total i clue of oui' foreign
commerce (imports and exports combined) was -
$11747,800,406, which was the largest of any year
in the history of the United States. The larg-
est in any previous year was in 1890, when our
commerce amounted to $1,617,]39Jl93, and the
last year exceeds this enormous aggregate by
over one hundred millions. It. is intcfesting,
and to some will be surprising, to know that
during the year ending Sept. 30, 1891, our im-
ports of merchandise amounted to $824,715,270,
which was an increase of more than eleven
million dollars over the value of the imports of
the corresponding months of the preceding
year, when the imports of merchandise were
unusually large in anticipation of the tariff
legislation then pi-nding. The average annual
value of the imports of merchandise for the
ten years from 1581 to 1890 was $093,186,522, and
during the year ending Sept. 30, 1891, this an-
nual average was exceeded by $132,528,468.
The value of free imports during the twelve
months ending Sept. 30, 1891, was $118,092,387
more than the value of free imports during the
corresponding twelve months of the preceding
year, and there was during the same period a
decrease of $106,893,509 in the value of imports
of dlftiable merchandise. The percentage of
merchandise admitted free of duty during the
year to which 1 have referred, the first under
the new tariff, was 48.13, while during the pre-
ceding twelvc months, under the old tariff, the
percentage was 31.27, an increase of 13.91 per
cent. If we take the six months ending Sept.
30 last, which covers the time during which
sugars have been admitted free of duty, lbe
per cent. of value of merchandise imporlcd
free of duty is found to be 55.37, which is a
larger percentage of free imports than during
any prior fiscal year in the history of the gov-
ernment.
If we turn to exports of merchandise the
statistics are full of gratification. The value
of such exports of merchandise for the twelve
months ending Sept. 30, 1891, was $92.3,ll9llf‘o,
while for the corresponding previous twelve
months it was $860,177,115, an increase of 3502,-
914,021, which is nearly three times the average
annual increase of exports of merchandise for
the preceding twenty years; this exceeds in
11.1111 nut and value the exports of merchandise
during any year in the history of the arm 1Lrn-
ment. The increase in the value of exports of
agricultural products during the year referred
to over the corresponding twelve months of
the prior year was $45,846,197, while the in-
crease in the value of exports of manufactured
products “as 316, 8.38, 240.
There is certainly nothing in the condition
of trade, foreign 01' domestic, there is cci'lainl y
nothing in the condition of our people of any
class to suggest that the existing tariff and
revenue legislation bears oppressivcl y upon the
people or retards the commercial development
of the nation. It may be argued that our con-
dition would be better if our tariff legislation
were upon a free trade basis; but it cannot be
denied that all the conditions of prosperity
and of general contentment arc pros-cut in a.
larger degree than ever before in our history,
and that, too, just when it was pt'opi:-.'-sicd they
would be in the worst state. .L‘L._L.; :li'ion for
radical changes in tariff and 1111:1111 ..l legisla-
tion cannot help, but may seriously impede,
business, to the prosperity of which some de-

The report of the secretary of the treasury

The Silver Laws.
Under the law of July 14, M90, the secretary
of the treasury has purchased (since Aug. 13)
during the fiscal year 48,393,113 ounces of silver
bullion at an average cost of $1.015 per ounce.
The highest price paid during the year was
$1.203"), and the lowest, 80.9636. In exchange
for this silver bullion there have been issued
$50,577,498 of the treasury notes authorized by
the act. The lowest price of silver reached
during the fiscal year was $096315 011 April W
1891, but on No 1'. 1 the market price was only
$0.96, which would give to the silver dollar a
bullion value of ’1'-Ii i cents.
Before the influence of the prospective silver
legislation 11.)». felt in the 111L'In .411 or was

ablest advocates of free coinage in tin: last con-
gress wore most confident in their predictions
that the putt-bases by the government re-
quired by the 1.1 .1 would at once b1 log the
price of silver 101.2.I29 pei' ounce, which 51 ould
make the bullion value of a dollm 100 cents
and hold. it there. The prophecies of ' the anti-
silver men of disasters to result. from the coin-
age of $2,000,01’lllpcr month were not wider of
the mark. '1 be friends of free silver are not
agr,ced I think, as to the causes that brought
their hop‘ct d 111' cdictions to naught. Some
facts are known. The exports of silver from
London to India. during the first nine months
of this calendar year fell off over 50 per ccut.,
or $17,202., 730, compar ed with the same months
of the preceding year.
The exports of domestic silver bullion from
this country, which had averaged for the last.
ten years ov cr $17 ,,000 000, fell in the last fiscal
year to $13, 797, 391; while, for the first time in
recent years, the imports of silver into this
countiy exceeded the exports by the sum of
$2,745,301In the pi cvious year the not ex-
ports of silver from the United States amount.-
ed to 58.191915. The production of the United
States increased from 50, 000, 000 ounces in 1889
to $1,500,000 in 1890. The government is now
buying and putting aside annually 54,000,000
ounces, which, allowing for 7,140,000 ounces of
new bullion used ' in the arts, is 6,640,000 more
~14,
. than our domestic product available for coin-
a e.
gI hope the depression in the price of silver is
temporary, and that a. further trial of this leg-
islation will. more favorably affect it. That
the increased volume of currency thus sup-
plied for the use of the people was needed, and
that beneficial results upon trade and prices
have followed this legislation, I think must be
very clear to every one; nor should it be for-
gotten that. for every dollar of these notes
issued a full dollar’s worth of silver bullion is

Supreme Court Decision.
At the conference of the Supreme
Court judges in New Haven, Saturday,
the famous case brought to compel the
county eommissioner's to surrender J o-
sie Barry, a girl who was sent- to the
County Home and then boundout to a
Westport family, was decided, and the
commissionersare victorious. The case
was brought in the name of Margaret
Whalen, the child’s mother, against
George H. Olmstead, who was at the
time secretary of the board. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court on a
reservation, and the Superior Court is
now advised to dismiss the complaint
and remand the child. The reasons are
by Judge Fenn. The plaintiffs sought
to recover possession of the little girl
for the purpose of placing her in a New
Haven Catholic institution.
