Diplomatic Agencl. The- n- mportanee of the Nicaragua Canal. , As to. the representation of this gov-me- to Nicaragua.Salvador and Costa Rica, I have concluded that Mr." William L. Merry, confirmed as minister of the United States to the states of Nicaragua. Salvador and Costa Rica rhall proceed to San Jose, Costa Rica! and there temporarily establish the headquarters of the United States to those three states. I took this action for what I regarded as the paramount Interest of this country. It was developed upon an investigation by the lecretary of state that the governor of Nicaragua, while not unwilling to receive Mr. Merry in his diplomatic quality, was unable to do so on account of the compact concluded June 20, 1895, whereby that repubtic and those of Salvador and Honduras formis as known the Greater Reing what public of - Central America, had surrendered to the representative diet there, their right to receive and send diplomatic agents. The diet was not willing to accept him because he was not accredited to that body. I could not accredit him to that body because the appropriation law of Congress did not permit. Mr. Raker, the present minister at Managua, has been directed to present his letters of recall. Mr. Godfrey Hunter has likewise been accredited to the governments of Guatemala and Honduras, the same as his1 predecessor. Guatemala is not a member of the Greater Republic of Central America, but Honduras is. Should this latter government decline to receive him he has been Instructed to report this fact to this government and await Its fur-ther instructions. NICARAGUAN CANAL SURVEY. - A subject of large importance to our country and Increasing appreciation on the part of the people is the completion of the great highv.-aof trade between the Atlantic and Pacific known as the Nicaraguan canal. Its value to American commerce Is unlversnUv admitted.

In the future I shall take occasion to transmit to Congress the report of this commission, making nt the same time such further suggestions as may then seem advisable. feaa-ibllt- INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM. Eagland Waa the Power Which Blocked It President Has Hopes Yet, Under the provisions of the act of Congress, approved March 3, 1897, for the promotion of an International agreement respecting bimetallism, I appointed on the 14th day of April, 1897, Hon. Edward O. Wolcott, of Colorado; Hon. Adlal E. Stevenson of Illinois, and Hon. Charles J. Paine, of Massachusetts, as special envoys to represent the United States. They have been diligent In their efforts to secure the concurrence and of European countries In the international settlement of the question but up to this time have not been able to secure an agreement contemplated by their mission. The gratifying action of our great sister republic of France in Joining this In the attempt to bring country about an agreement between the principal commercial nations of Europe, whereby a fixed and relative value between gold and silver shall be secured, furnishes assurance that we are not alone among the larger nations of the world in realising the International character of the problem and in the desire of reaching some wise and practical solution of it. The British government has published a resume of the steps taken Jointly by th French ambassador In Irdon and the special envoys of the United States with whom our ambassador in London actlveiv In the presentation of this suhject to her majesty's government. This will be laid before Congress. Our special envoys have not made their final report, aa further negotiations between the representatives of this government and the governments of other countries ard pending and In contemnla. tton. They believe that doubts which have been raised In certain quarters respecting the possibility of maintaining the stability of the parity between th- metals end kindred questions may Vft b solved bv further negotiations. ' HOPES FOR AN AGREEMENT, I Meanwhile It gives ms satisfaction to State that the special envoys have already demonstrated their ability and fitness to deal with the subject, and II Is to be earnestly hoped thatThelr labors may result In an International agreement which will bring about gnltlon of both gold and silver ai ney upon such terms and with such feguards as will secure the use f -th metals upon a basis which shall ork no Injuries to any class of our citizens. i COMMERCIAL - - Tart A Reciprocity, sad the Building . t of to the fur seals 'In the North Pacific ocean and Bering sea were renewed at an early date by this administration and have been pursued with earnestnesa Upon my invitation the governments of Russia and - Japan sent delegates to Washington and an international conference waa held during the montha of October and November last wherein it waa unanimously agreed that under the misting regulations this species of useful animals was threatened with extinction and that an international agreement of all the interested powers waa necessary for their adequate protection. The government of Great Britain did not see proper to be represented at this conference, but subsequently tent to Washington as delegates the expert commissioners of Great Britain and Canada who during the cast two yekrs visited the Pribiloff Islands and who met In conference similar commisssion-er- g on the part Of the United States. The result of this conference waa an agreement on important facta connected of the seal herd heretofore in dispute which should place beyond Controversy the duty of the governments concerned to adopt measures without delay for the preservaJion and restoration of the herd. Negotiations to this end are now in progress, the result of which I hope to be able to report to Congress at an early day. WANTS AN ARBITRATION TREATY. International arbitration cannot be omitted from the list of subjects claiming our consideration. Events have only served to strengthen the general views on this question expressed in m Inaugural address. The best sentiment "t th' efvtiigod world Is moving toward the settlement of differences betweer the nations without resorting to th horrors of war. Treaties embodying these humane principles on broad lines without In Ary way imperilling our interests or our honor shall have my constant encouragement. EXPOSITION OF 1900. The acceptance by this government of the Invitation of the republic of France to participate in the universal exposition of WOO at Paris was immediately followed by the appointment of a special commissioner to represent the United States in the proposed exposition with special reference to 'The securing of space of an adequate exhibition on behalf of the United States. The special commissioner delayed his departure for. Parts long enough to ascertain the probable demand for space by American exhibitors. His iries.-developed ai almost unprecedented Interest in the proposed exposition and the information thus acquired enabled him to Justify an application for a much larger allotment of space for the American section than had been reserved by the exposition authorities. The result waa particularly gratifying, tn view of .the feet that the United States was one of the last countries t accept the Invitation of France. The reception accorded our special commissioner was most cordial and he waa given every reasonable assurance that the United States would receive a consideration commensurate with the proportions of our exhibit The report of the special commissioner as to the magnitude of the coming exposition and the demand for space for American er" 'bits, supplies new arguments for a li'eral and Judi cious appropriation by Congress to the end that an exhibit fairly representative of the Industrie and resources of our country may be made In an exposition which will illustrate the world's progress during the nineteenth century. The exposition is Intended to be one of the most important and comprehensive of a long aeries of International exhibitions of which our own. at Chicago waa a brilliant example, and It Is desirable that the United States should make a worthy exhibit of American genius and skill and their unrivalled achievements In every branch of Industry. THE NAVY. Favorable Condition as t Yeoeels, bat Men and Monitions of War are Needed, The present Immediate effective force of the navy consists of four battleships of the first class; two second and forty-eigother vessels, ranging from armored cruisers to torpedo boats. There are under construction five battleships of the first class, sixteen torpedo boats and one submarine boat. No provlslors has yet been made for the armor of three of the five battleships, as It has been Impossible to obtain It at the price fixed by Congress. It is of great Importance that Congress provide this armor, as until then the ships are of no fighting value. The present naval force, especially In view of Its Increase by ships now under construction, while not as large as that of a few other powers. Is a formidable force, Its vessels are the very best of each type; and with the Increase that should be made to It from time to time. In the future, and careful attention to keeping it in a high state of efficiency and repair, lt ls well adapted to the necessities of the country, MORE INCREASE NEEpED. Th great increase of the navy which has taken place In recent years was justified by the requirements of the naval defpnae and has received public approbation. The time, has now arrived, however, when this Increase, to which the country la committed, should for a time take the form of increased facilities commensurate with the Increase of our naval vessels. it ts an unfortunate fact that there la only one dock on the Pacific coast capable of docking our largest ships and only on on the Atlantic coast, and that the latter has for the last alx or seven, months been under repair and therefore Incapable of use. Immediate steps should be taken to provide' three or four docks of this capacity on the Atlantic coast at least one on th Pacific coast, and a floating dock on the Gulf. ThJi la th recommendation of a very competent board appointed to Investigate the inqu- ht a Merchant Marla. In order to execute as early as possible the provisions of the third and fourth sections of the revenue act Approved July 24, 1897, I appointed the Hon. John A. K arson, of Iowa, a special commissioner plenipotentiary subject, to undertake the requisite negotiations ARMS AND MEN WANTED. to avail countries with . desiring foreign themselves of these provlslona The negotiations are now proceeding with several governmentrboth European and Amertcan.lt is believed That bv a careful exercise of the power conferred by that act some grievances of our own and of other countries in our mutual trade relations may be either removed or largely alleviated, and that the volume of our commercial exchages may be enlarged with advantages to both contracting parties.
