W c could not forget, however, t tm t this government was in diplo-matic relations witli tlm then established goi eminent ot Chile, as it i now in such relations, with, the successor of that govern- - U) CIll. 1 uiu unite sure tha' President Montt, who has, under circumstances of promises for II. u peace of I 'hlli', l.ii-- installed president of Unit republic, will U'it desire Hint in tho unfortunate cu nt of ony revolt nifuint bis aul biirit y, the policy of this government should b other than which we have recently observed. No ollicial complaint of tlio conduct of our minister or of our naval officers during the slruggio ,H8 .cii presented to this (rovrru. incut and it is a tuHitei of regret that so many of our o u people should have given cur to imolliclul charge and e unplainU that maiiilcstl) had Iticlr orig.o '.' j'evolt and in a wi-- h to pervert the reluliomt of tho fulled Slate with Chile. 1 he collap-- c of the government of Balma-ecd-t. rou-l- it about a condition wliieli i un-fortunately too familiar in history of the ( eulial nii'd South American state. Willi I he overthrow of the llalmuccda government he and many of his counselors and officers became, fugitive for their Uvea and applied lo Ihu commanding officers of tin) foreign linval vessels in Ihe liarbor of Valparaiso and to the resilient foreign ministers at Sun-tiag-for asylum, this as yet freely Riven ac-cording to my iuforuiatlon by Hie naval ves-sels of several foreign pow ers and by several of the legations at Santiago. The American minister as well as his colleagues, acting under the impulses of liumauit.v, usvlum to political refugees, w hose lives were in peril. 1 have uotjbecu willing to direct Ihe surrender of such of Ihcse persons lis arc still in Ihe American legation without suituhle. understanding. His believed that the government, of Chile is not in a position, ill View of Hie precedents ill which it has been connected, to broadly deny the right ot asylum, and He' correspondence lias not tliiis tar presented any such deuial. Tut- tr atiucnt of our minister for a time was such as to call tor u decided protest, and it was gratifying to observe that unfriendly measures, winch were undoubtedly the re-sult of the prevailing excitement, were at onto rescinded or suitably relaxed. Hie Valparaiso Incident. Ou the sixteenth of October an event oc-curred in Valparaiso, bo serious and traffic In lt circumstances and results as to Very Justly excite the indignation of our people, and to call for prompt and decided action on tlu part of tlm government. A consider-able, number of tlio sailors of fur. fnitcd Stales steamship Baltimore, then iu the har-bor of Valparaiso, being upon shore, leave, and unarmed, were assaulted by armed men nearly simultaneously in different localities iu the ciiy, One petty officer w as killed outrltrlit .f pd seven or cicht seamen were seriiki;..; wounded, one of whom has since died. So savage and brutal was the assault that aev. eral of our sailors received moru than two, and on as mauv as eijrht stab wouuds. Aa mvcstiiratiou iif Hie affair was promptly amde by a board of g'!lcers of tha Baltimore, Hid their report sti.Ta that these assaults luiHHLirijvoked'aat our mcu were tcrt! duclinK theuise,r n - r im ablrjnrl or-derly manner, and that sonic of the pofice o the city took' part in the assault and used their weapons With fatal effuct (wliile a few others w ith some well disposed ritir.eni en-deavored to protect our men). Thlrty-ai- of our sailors were arrested, and some of them whilo being taken In prison were cruelly beaten and maltreated. The fact that they were all discharged, no criminal charge be-ing lodired against any one of them, shows very clearly that they were Innocent of any breach of the peace. So far as 1 have yet been able to learn, no other explanation of this bloody work has been suytfcted thau that It had its origin in Its hostility to these men as sailors of the. United Stales wearing tho uniform of their k'oTC'mne.ril' and not in any individual net or personal animosity. The attention of the Chilean government m at once called to this af-fair, and a statement of fact obtained by ttie iuvestUation wc had conducted was sub-mitted, accompanied by a request to be ad-vised of any oilier or qualifying facts in the possession of the Chilean government Hint might relieve this affair of the. appear-ance, of un insult to this government. The Chilean government was also advised that if such qualifying facts did not exist this irovernnient would confidently expert full and prompt reparation. It is to he regretted that the reply of the secretary for foreign atlairs of Hie pro. visional government was couched iu an of. tensive tone. To tills no response has been made. This government is now awaiting ihe result of an investigation which has been conducted by the criminal court of Valparaiso. It is reported unollieially that the investigation is about completed and that the result will soon be communicated to this government, together with some adequate nnd satisfactory response to the note by which the attention of Chile vt as called to this incident. If these just expectations should he dis-appointed, or bhould further needle's delay intervene I will by especial message, bring this mailer to the especial attention of congress fur such action as maybe neces-sary. The entire correspondence with the government of Chile w iil at an early day ba submitted. I renew the recommendation in my special message dated January Id, I'.IO, for the adoption of the necessary legislation to en-able this government to apply in the ease of Sweden and Norway the same rjilc in respect to the levying of tonnage dues us as claim-ed and secured to the shipping of tho I'nl-te- States in lsis under article s of the treaty of 137. Fonscra, but this government did not fail to express to him ils anxious Folic iintion for the peace of Brazil and for the maintenance of tho free political institutions w Inch had been reeeutly established, nor idler our ad Tlca that great moderation should bo observed In the classes of parties and tho contest for leadership. These counsels were received In the must friendly spirit and the latest information is that a constitutional government tins been established without bloodshed. The Nvw Orleans Lynching. The lyivhing at New Orleans In March lust of eleven men of Italian nativity by a mob of citizens was a most, deplorable, and discreditable inc ident. It did not, however, have its origin In ony general animosity to tho Italian people lior iu any disrespect to tho government of Italy with which our relations were of the timet friendly character. The fury of the mob was direcicd against these mrn as the aupposed participants or accessories of tho murder of a cliy officer. 1 do not allude to this as mitigating in any degree this otfenc against law and humanity, but only as affecting international questions which grew out of it, ltwas onco represented by the, Italian minister, that several of thoso whoso lives bad been taken by tho mob were Italian subjects and it demand mado for the punishment of the participants and to in-demnity to the families of those men killed. It is to bo regretted that tho manner in which these claims woro presented was not such as to promote a calm discussion of tho questions involved, but this may well be attributed to tho excite-wen- t and indignation with which the crime uaturally evoked. The views of this gov-ernment as to its obligations to foreigners domiciled here wero fully stated in tha cor-respondence as well as iU purpose! to make an investigation of tho affair with a view to determine whether there were present tircumstanccs that could under such rules we had iudi-rj'-.'- an obligation upon the United States. The Vwnrary absence of a minister plcnL pote.Tt 'ias ..rei,i,.i capitul nas new siivjj; "IijtcCj but it ity. V Ijr f JneuUi 'lOucItTsVjg, . ?je ,t suggestions growing out of .k incident are worthy tho at- - 2 vr l congress. It would, I believe, bo M.ipf- competeiiB lor cwigiess to make offenses against the treaty rights of for- - cigners domiciled in the United States cog. niiable in the federal courts. This has not, however, been done, and tho federal olllcers ,and court have no power in such cases to intervene either for the protection of foreign citizens or for tho punishment of ids slayers. It seems to mo to follow in this j :ata of law, that the olllcers of the stale charged wilh tho police and judicial powers in such cases must, in the consideration of international questions growing out of such incidents, be regarded in such sense as fed-eral agents as to make this government an. swerable for their acts, in caes where it would he answerable if the United States had urged its constitutional power to define and puuish crimes against treaty rights. The Chilean Imbroglio. The Chilean war in Chili, which began in January last, was continued, but for-tunately with infrequent and not im-portant armed collisions until Au-gust Slli, when the congressional forces landed near Valparaiso and after a bloody engagement captured that city. Presideut Balmacada at once recognized that his cause was lost and a provisional govern-ment was speedily established by the victor-ious party. Our minister was promptly directed to recognize and put himself in comuiuuieatiou with this government so soon as it should have established its de facto character, which was done. During the pendency of this civil contest frequent in-direct appeals were made to this govern-ment to extend beligerent rights to the in-surgents and to give audieueo to their re-quest. This was declined and that policy was pursued throughout which this government when wrenched by eivil war so strenuously insisted upon the part of Kuropoau nations. The Itata, an armed vessel commanded by a naval officer of the insurgcut fleet, manned by its sailors and with soldiers on board, was siczed under process of tho United States court at San Diego, C'al., for a violation of our neutrality laws. While in the custody of an officer of tho court the vessel w as forcibly wrested from his control and put !o sea. It would have been inconsistent with the dignity and self respect of this govern-ment not to have, insisted that Washington-- , P. C, Dee. 0. President Ilarrisou today scut his message to con-gress. It is as follows: TO TUB fcBNATC AND nOlSE OF KKI'UE. SESTATIVES: The reports of the heads of the several executive departments required by law to be. submit!' I to mo which are herewith transmitted and the report of the secretary of the treasury and attorney-genera- l made direct to congress, furnish a coinpiehensiye review of the administrative work of the last fiscal year relating to In-ternal affairs. It would be of great advan-tage if the reports could have nn attentive perusal by every member of congress, and by all who taku an interest iu public affair, such a perusal could not fail to excite a higher appreciation of the vast labor and conscientious efforts which are given to tho conduct of our civil adminis-tration. Tho reports will, I believe, show that every question has becen approached, considered and decided from the standpoint of public duty, and upon considerations af-fecting the public interests alone. Aealn I iavite to every blanch of tho service the at-tention and scrutiny of cougrcss. Hecliiroclty Troaties. The. w ork of tho stato department during the last year has been characterized by an by nu unusual largo number of importaut negotiations and by diplomatic results of a notably and a highly bene-llci-character. Amoug these are the reciprocal trade arrangements which have becu coucluded in the exorcise of tho jiowcrs conferred by section 3 of the tariff laid with the republic of Brazil with Spain for its AVest India possessions and w ith Snn Domingo. Like negotiations with ofher countries have been much advanced, and it is hoped that before the close of the yrur further definitive trade arrangements of great value will be concluded. Seal Fisheries. ' In view of the report ?t had, "been re-ceived as to the dimlnuti jn of the dtnl herds In tho Behrlng sea, I deemed it wise to pro-pos-o to her majesty's government la Febru-ary last that arrangement for a ''(edeea-sq- n should be made pending tiitious for arbitration, whicLL lien; seemed to bo approachinf "V V favorable ronclusiou. After much poudeuce and delay for which this jro"J mcnt wub not responsible an agreement was reached on the 15th of June by w hich Great Britain undertook from that date and until May 1, lt-'- to prohibit the killing by her subjects of seals in the Bchring sea and the government of the United States during tho same period to enforce Its existing prohibition against pelogic scaling and to limit the catch by the fur seal company upon the island to 7500 skins. If this agreement could have been reached earlier in response to the strenuous endeavors of this government, it would hare been more effective, but coining as late as it did, it unquestionably resulted in greatly de. minishing the destruction of ".he seals by the ( anadiuu sealers. In my last annual message 1 stated that the bar-i- of arbitration proposed by her inaj-csly-government for the. adjustment of the long pending controversy over the. seal fish-eries was not aceeptible, I am glad now to be able to announce that terms satisfactory to this government have been agreed upon and that the agreement to the arbitration is all that is necessary to the completion of tho convention. In view of the advanced poi-lio- n of this government has taken ou tho subject of international arbitration, this extension of our adheranee to method for tho settlement of disputes, such a have arisen in the Bearing sea, will, I doubt not, meet with the concurrence of congress. Provision should be made for a joint dem-arcation of tho frontier line between Can-ada and the United States, wherever by the increased bounds settler, and especially for the exact location of tho water boundaries In the straits and rivers. A Boundary Dispute. I should have been glad to announce somo favorable disposition of the boundary dis-pute between Great Britain and Venezula touching the western frontier of Brilish (iiiiana. but the friendly efforts of the Uni-ted States In that direction have thus far been unavailing. This government w ill con-tinue to express its continual opposition to foreign encroachments ou the territories long under tho control of American states The termination of a disputed boundary is easily attainable by amicable arbitration when the rights of tho respective par-tics- , rest, ns here, on historic facts readily ascertainable. jard as desirable that thu Chinese exhibit uo facilitated in every proper way. The Carullue Islands. A question has arisen with the govern-ment of Spain touching the right of Amer-ican citizens in the Caroline Islands. Our1' I'ltizens i here, long prior to Hie confirmation u' of Spain's claim to the islands, had secured by settlement and purchase certain rights i to tin" recognition and maintenance which Hie faith of Spain was pledged, tj I have had reason within the past yrr very strongly to protest agsitist. the failure tl carry out this pledge ou the part of hi majesty' ministers which has resulted l'l great Injustice and injury to tho Auitirica4 j residents. A Celebration Iu Spain. Tuc government and people of Spain pur. pose In celrbiatr the luOlh anniversary of the discovery of Ainorie.i by holding an exposition it t. Madrid, which will open on the l'.'th of September and continue until the lilst of Dceeinher, lS'.U. A cordial invitation has bernextended to tho United Mates to take part iu this relation, and as sipain was one of the first nations to -- sprcss ihe intention to par-ticipate in the World's Columbian exposi. tion.tt would be very appropriate for this, government to give Ibis iuiitatiou its friend-ly prouiotiuu. Intercontinental It all way. Surveys for the connecting links of the projected Intercolonial railway are in pro. gre-- s, not only in Mexico but at various pootts along Hie cotirsa mapped out. Threw surveying parties art now in iho Held. under the direction of the commission; nearly loot) miles of lie' opnsed railway have becu sur-veyed. incii;.',ii.g the luo-- t difficult part, that through Kciuidor and the southern part of Colmii'iia.

An appropriation is licecs-sar- y to enable thu United Slates to fulliil ils treaty obligations in this respect, Hawaiian Relations. The death of King Kalakua In tho United States afforded o. etision lo testify our friend, ship tor Hawaii by conveying Hie king's body to his own land in a naval vessel with all due honor. The government ot his sue. cessor, (jnnrn Lilioiikalama, is seeking to promote closer commercial relations with the United Slates. Surveys for tha niueh needed suh. marine cable from our I'acltlc coast to Honolulu are in progress, and this enterprise should have tho suitable promotion of the two govern, rnente. I strongly recommend that provision he made for improving tha harbor of Pearl river and equipping it as a naval station. The arbitration committee formulated by the International Amrican conference lap. sed by reason of the failuro to exchance rati. Orations fully within the limit of timo pro. vuled but several of tho governments con-cerned have expressed a desire to save thi Uopyr.'iut result of the conference by an ex-t- - ,,vn of the puriod.

This government has fouud occasion to express 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 of Russia. By the revival of laws lone in obeyance. Great numbers of those unfortunate people have been constrained to abandon their homes, and leave tho empire, by reason of the of finding subsistence within tho pale to w hich it is sought to confine them. The immigration of these pen. pie to the United States, many other countries being closed in largely incresing and is likely to propor. tious w hich may make it difficult to find homes and employment for those, here and to seriously atlect'the labor market. It is estimated thai overone million will be forced from Kussia within a few years. The Heb-rew is never a beggar; he lias always kept the law, life by toil, often under severe u ml oppressive civil restrictions. It is also true, no racr, sect or class has more fully cared for its own than tho Hebrew race. But the sud-den transfer of such a multitude under con. ditions t;iri tend to strip them of their small accumulations and to depress their energies and courage, is neither good for them nor for us. The banishment, whether by decree or by not less certain indirect methods, of so large a number of men and women is not a local question. A decree to leave one country, iu tho nature of'things Is an order toentersoino other. This consideration, as well as tlio suggestions of humanity, furnishes ample, ground for remonstrances w hich have been presented to Russia, while onr historic, friendship for that government cannot fail to give the assurance that our representa-tions are those of sincere well-- ishcrs. The MraraKiia Canal. The. annual report of the Marilinc Canal company of Nicaragua, shows that much costly and necessary preparatory work has been done during the year in the construc-tion of shops, railroad tracks and harbor piers and breakwaters, and that the work of canal construction had made some success. 1 deem it to be a matter of the highest run. ccrn to the United Slates that this canal g the waters of the Atlantic and oceans and giving us a short water com. munieatinn between our ports upon these two great seas, should be speedily con-structed, and at the smallest practicable limit of cost. The gain in freights to tho people and the direct saving to the govern-ment of the United Slates in the use of naval vessels would pay the cost of this work within a short series of years. The report of the secretary of the navy show the saving iu our naval expenditures which would result. The senator from Alabama (Mr. Morgan) in his argument on this subject before the senate Ht. the la.-- t session did not overesti-mate the importance of this work when ho said that "the canal is the most important subeet now connected with the commercial growth mid progress of the United Mates.'' If this work is to be promoted by tho usual financial methods and without the aid of this government, the expenditures iu its interest-bearin- g securities and stocks, w ill probably bo twice the actual cost. This will necessitate! higher tolls and constitute a heavy and altogether needless burden upon our commerce aud that of the world. Every dollar of tha bonds aud stock of the com-pany should represent a, dollar expended In Hie legitimate and economical prosecution of the work. This Is only possiole bT giv-ing to the bonds the guaranty of the United States government. Such a guaranty would secure the ready sal at par of a three per cent bond from time to time as the money was needed. I do not doubt that, built upon the business methods, the canal would, when fully inaugurated, earn Ha fixed charges and operating expenses, but. if its bonds are to be marketed at heavy discounts and every bond sold is to be accompanied by a gift of stock, as has come to be ex-pected by investors in such enterprises, tha traffic will be seriously burdened to pay in. terest and dividends. I am quite wil. ling to recommend government promotion in the prosecution of this work if oilier means offered for securing Its com-pletion is of such trancendant interest that the government shonld in my opinion secure it by direct a ppropriatioes from its treasury. A quantity of the tionds of the canal com-pany to nn amount necessary-t- completing nftiie canal could T think be giyensaaa not to Involve any seririu risk ni ultimate Ios, 'Ihe things, to bs caiaiully gumojsU no. W9 The Slave Traftte. The adjournment of the senate without ac. Hon on the pending acts for the suppression of the slave traffic in Africa and for the re-form of the revenue tariff of Hie independ-ent state of Congo, left this government un-able to exchange those act on the date lixed, July l'.ri. A mixl'in rii' iuli has been con-cluded by which the powt r of the Congo state to s on imports is left unim-paired, mid by agreement of all Hie signa-tories to the general slave trade act the time for tlie exchange of ratifications on the part of the United States has been extended to February !.', isj'.'. Chinese Outbreaks. Tho late outbreak against foreigners in various parts of Ihe Chinese government has been a course of deep concern, iu view ot Hie numerous establishments of our citizens in the interior of that country. This gov-ernment cau do no less than insist upon a continuance of the protective, aud punitory measures, which tne Chinese government has heretofore applied. No effort will be omitted to protect our citizens peaceable in China, but receut unofficial information indicates that what was at first regarded a an outbreak of mob violence against foreigners has '1 Hie form of an hisii'rection against public order. Tho Chinese government lias declined to receive Mr. Blair as the minister of the United States on Hie ground that as a par-ticipant as a senator in enactment existing legislation against the introduction of Chi-nese laborers he has become unfriendly aud objectionable lo China, and I have felt con-strained to point out to Hie Chinese govern-meu- t the unleiiahlcncss of this pcsiliou, which seems to rest as much upon tho ae. crptahility of our legislation as on that" of the person chosen and which if admitted would praetically debar the selectiou of any representative as long as the existing laws remain In force., You will be culled upon to consider tho of making special provision hy law for the temporary admission of some Chi-nese artisans and laborers in onnectiou with the exhibit of Chinese, industries at tho arrrl-nln- Coiimibiaa tipositiou. X re. :h - the Itata 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 Iqulque that before tho urrhalof the Itiata at that port, the secretary of foreiga relations of the provisional government addressed Hear Ad-miral Browu, commanding the United Slates naval forces, a communication from which the following is an extract: "The provisional government has learned by the cablegrams of tho Associated Tress that the transport Itita, detained in Sou Diego, by order of tho United States for taking ou board munitions of war and iu possession of the marshal, left the port carrying on board this ortlcial, w ho was landed at a point near Hie coost, and then continued her voyage. If this view be correct, this government would deplore the conduct of the Itata, aud as an evidence that it is not disposed to sup-port or agree to tho Infraction of the laws of the United States, the undersigned takes ad-vantage of the personal relations you have been good enough to maintain with him since your arrival iu this port, to declare to you that 03 soon as she. is within reach of our orders, his government will put the Data with the arms and munitions she took ou ut San Diego, at tho disposition of the United States. A trial iu Hie. district court of the United States for the anthem district of California, has recently resulted in a docis. ion holding, among other tilings, ti.at inas-much as Ihe congressional party had not been reorganized as belligerent, the set done in its Interest could not be a violation of our neutrality laws. From th's judg. inent the United States has appealed, not that the condemnation of the vessel is a matter of importance but that we may know what Is tho present state ot onr law, for if this of Ihe statute is correct, there is obvious necessity for revision aud amend, mcnt. During the progress of the war in I. bile tils (rovciuaicnt tendered; il gcod I Our Meats Triumphant. The la w of the last congress providing a system of inspection for our meats intended for export, and clothing the president w ith power to exclude foreign products from our market In case the country sending them should perpetuate injustice indiscrimiuat ely againat any product of the United States, placed this government in a position to ef. fectively urge the removal of such discrim-inations against our meats. It is gratifying to be allowed to stute that German', Den-mark, Itialla, Austria and France, iu the order named, have opened thoir ports to in-spected American pork products. The removal of these restrictions in every instance, was asked for aud given solely upon the ground that we had now provided a meat inspection that should be accepted as adequate to 'he complete, removal of the dangers, real or fancied, which had been previously urged. The stato department, our ministers ahroad, and the secretary of agriculture, have with unflag-ging and intelligent zeal for the accomplish-ment of this great result. The outlines of an agreemeut has been reached with Germany, looking to equitable Irado concessions In consideration of tho continued free importation of her sugars, but tho time not yet arrived when this correspondence can be submitted to congress.
