PRESIDENT'S VIEWS AS GIVEN IN HIS FIRST ANNUAL MESSAGE WMblnfton, Dor. 3. There wns a very good nttt-ndnnrc In tho gnHr-rlns of tho House tn-tlny to listen to tin: rending of the first niessnffe of Prosl dffBt Hoosevelt. Orrilnnrlly presiden tial messatres at the opening of a Con gress are listened to In perfunctory fashion, hut to-day throughout the reading the keenest Interest was man ifested. Hardly a member left his seat until the reading was concluded. The principal features of the mes sage are as follows: "To the Senate and House of Hepresen tatlves: "Tho Congress assembles this year under the shadow of a great calamity. On the lth day of September President McKlnley was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan American Ex position at Buffalo and died in that city on the 14th of that month. "Of the last seven elected Presidents he Is the third to hnve been murdered, and the bare recital of this fact U suffi cient to Justify grave alarm among all loyal American citizens. Moreover, the circumstances of this, the third assas sination of an American President, have a peculiarly sinister appearance. Both President Lincoln and President OarQeld were killed by assassins of types unfortunate and not uncommon In history President Lincoln falling a victim to the terrible passions aroused by four years of civil war and presi dent Onrtleld to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed office-seeker. Presi dent McKlnley was killed by an utter ly depraved criminal belonging to that body of criminals who object to all governments. At the time of President McKlnley's death he was the most widely loved man In the United States. His political opponents were the first to the bear the heartiest and most gen erous tribute to the broad kindliness of nature, sweetness and gentleness of character which eudeared him to his close associates." After paying an eloquent tribute to his murdered predecessor, the Presi dent adds: "I cranestly recommend to the Congress that it take Irto consider ation the coming to this country of an archist or persons professing princi ples hostile to all government and Jus tifying the murder of those placed in authority. They should he kept out of the country, and if found here should lc deported to the country from which they came. No matter calls more ur gently for the wise thought of the Con gress," Referring to the prosperity of the country, the message says that during the las! five years business confidence has been restored and the nation Is to be congratulated upon Its present nboundlug prosperity. Mischievous laws, however, can easily destroy this. There may have been abuses In the ac cumulation of wealth, but the ciiptalus of Industry, railways, manufactures and commerce have, on the whole, done great good to our people. "The mechanism of modern business Is so delicate that extreme care must be taken not to Interfere wlih It In a spirit of rashness or Ignorance. "The men who demand the Impossi ble or the undesirable serve as the al lies of the forces with which they are nominally at war, for they hamper those who would endeavor to Unit out in rational fashion what the wrongs really nre and to what extent and in what manner it is practicable to apply remedies. "AH this Is true; and yet it Is also true that there arc real and grave evils, one of the chief lwlng over-capitalization because of Its many baleful conse quences: and a resolute and practical effort must be made to correct tbesa evils. The first essential Is determin ing how to deal with the great Indus trial combinations is publicity." He lays great stress upon the fact that a full knowledge of the operatic ns of large corporations will do away with most of their dangers, and says the government should have the right to Inspect and examine the workings of the great corporations engaged In Interstate business. There should lo crentod a cabinet of ficer to be known as secretary of com merce and industries. It should be his province to deal with commerce In ls broadest sense and whatever concerns labor, business and merchant marine. Labor must 1m protected by tariff and In other ways, and for that reason the President regards it necessary to re enact immediately the law excluding Chinese laborers. Our present Immi gration laws are unsatisfactory. We need every honest and efficient Immi grant who brings here a strong body, a stout heart, a good head, and will be a God-fearing member of the communi ty to come and remain with us. Hut all others should be excluded. Passing to the tariff system the mes sage says the first requisite to our prosperity Is the continuity of the sta bility of this economic policy. "Cur experience In the past has shown that sweeping revisions of the tariff are apt to produce conditions closely approaching panic In the busi ness world. Yet It Is not only invisi ble, but eminently desirable, to coin blue with the stability of our economic system a supplementary system of re ciprocal benefit and obligation with other nations. Such reciprocity Is an Incident and result of the firm estab lishment and preservation of our pres ent economic policy. It was specially provided for in the present tariff law, "I ask the attention of the Senate to the reciprocity treaties laid before It bv my predecessor." The message then cells attention to I tie condition of the Amerlcun mer chant marine, and says action Is de manded by Congress. It is discredita ble to us as a nation If our merchant marine should be utterly lusignlnnuit In comparison to that of other ua'lous where we overtop In other forms of business. Kroiu every standpoint It Is unwise for tin- United States to con tinue to rely upon the ships of com peting nations for the distribution of our goods. It should be made tulvuu ti.geous to carry American goods In American-built ships. Regarding the establishment of gold us the standard moiiey the President luuintuius thai this coudltion should i h it I n lie. It was a timely aud Judi cious act. he declares. Referring to the regulation of interstate ruilwuys the message was brief. It saye the act of 1N87, creating a commission w'as experimental and could be Improved. "Experience has shown the wisdom of Its purposes, but has also shown, possibly, (hat some of Its requirements nre wrong, certainly that the means de vised for the enforcement of Its pro visions are defective." Touching the subject of agriculture, the message says that the Cabinet de partment has accomplished real value In upbuilding foreign and domestic trade. It has created In the public opinion more Just appreciation of the value of forests. The message de clares that this should be continued and Immense forest reserves maintain ed. The reclamation and settlement of the arid lands, the President says, will enrich every portion of our country Just as the setlement of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys brotight prosperity to the Atlantic states. There should be no extravagance, however, In the matter of spending public moneys, and whatever the nation does for the ex tension of Irrigation should harmonize with and tend to Improve the condition of those now living on irriguted land. We are not at the starting point of this development. Over JS'JOO.OOO.OOO of private capital has already been ex pended on the construction of these Ir rigation works and many millions of acres of arid land reclaimed. The na tion must ultimately co-operate with the several arid states In proportion as those states by legislation and adminis tration show themselves tit to receive It. With a few creditable exceptions, the arid states have failed to provide for the certain and Just division of streams in times of scarcity. Lax and uncertain laws have made It possible to establish rights to water In excess of actual uses or necessities, and many streams hnve already passed Into pri vate ownership, or u control equivalent to ownership. "Whoever controls a stream practi cally controls the laud it renders pro ductive, nnd the doctrine of private ownership of water apart from land cannot prevail without causing endur ing wrong. The recognition of such ownership, which has been permitted to grow up in tlie arid regions, should give way to a more enlightened nnd larger recognition of the rights of the public In the control and disposal of the public water supplies. Laws founded upon conditions obtaining in humid regions, where water Is too abundant to Justify hoarding It, have no proper application in a dry country. "Laws so vitally affecting homes lis those which control the water supply will only be effective when they have the snnctlou of the irrigators; reforms can only be final and satisfactory when they come through the enlightenment of the people most concerned. The larger development which national aid insures should, however, awaken in every arid state the determination to make its ' Irrigation Bystem equal In Justice and effectiveness that of any country in the civilised world. No thing could be more unwise than for isoluted communities to coutiuue to learu everything experimentally. In stead of profiting by what Is already known elsewhere. We are dealing with a new and momentous question. In the pregnant years while Institu tions are forming, and what we do will nffect not only the present but future generations." Speaking of the new acquisitions the Pttslden ; says our aim must be to de velop Hawaii on traditional American lines. We do not wish a region of large estates tilled by cheap labor, but a healthy American community owning small farms. "Porto Itico," says the message, 'is thriving as never before, and Is being administered officially and honestly, and In Cuba progress has been made, and we must put the Inde pendent government of the Island Upon a firm footing, and before the present sessions of Congress close this will be an accomplished fact aud Cuba will start as her own mistress. In the Phil ippines our problem Is larger. There are rich tropical Islands Inhabited by vary ing tribes. We must help them along the stony and difficult path that leads to self-government. Alrendy a greater measure of prosperity aud government al honesty has been obtained In the Philippines than ever before in their history. "The Monroe doctrine should be the curdinal feature of the foreign policy of all the nations of the two Americas, as It Is of the United States. It Is In no wise Intended as hostile to any uu lion of the old world." "The work of upbuilding tho navy must be steadily continued. No one point of our policy, foivii.'-t and domes tic, is more important tl:uc this to the honor and material welfare, and above all to the peace of our nation In the fu ture. Whether we desire It or not, we must henceforth nn-ognlze that we have International duties no less than International rights. "Our coplc Intend to abide by the Monroe doctrine and to insltit upon It as the one sure means of securing the IK'uce of the Western hemisphere. Tho navy offers us the only means of mak ing our Insistence upon I lie Monroe doctrine anything but a subject of de rision to whatever uutloii chooses to disregard It. "The death Of Queen Victoria caused the people of the United States deep and heartfelt sorrow, to which this government gave full expression When President McKlnley ,n,,, our nation lu turn received from everj quarter of the Hiillsh empire expres slons of grief aud sympathy u less sincere. The death of the Dowager Empress Frederick of Germany also aroused the genuine sympathy of the American people, aud this sympathy was cordially reciprocated by Ger many when the President was assass Inated. Indeed, from every quarter of the civilized world Me received, at the time of the President's denth. assur ances of such grief aud regard as to touch the hunts of our people. In the midst of our atfllclion we revereliity thank the Almighty that we are at peace with the nations of mankind; and we firmly Intend that our policy shall he such as to coutiuue Unbroken these International relations of mutual respect and good will." THEODORE ROOSEVELT. PEOPLE and EVENTS DEATH OF VON HATZFELDT. Count von Hatzfelt. former German ambassador to Great Drltaln, who died in London November 22, resigned hit post with the permission of the emper or a short time ago, because of 111 health. Death occurred at tho German embassy. He had been ailing for years from heart trouble and Internal com plications. When It was seen that he was sinking the last sacrament was ad ministered. He remained fully con scious to the last. Count Paul vor Hatzfeldt-Wlldenburg was born on Oc tober 8, 1831, and was specially educa- COUNT VON HATZFELDT. ted for the diplomatic service at the ter in order that their daughter might universities of Berlin and Bonne. He 'was secretary of legation at Pails in der Bismarck in 1862, and in 1874 was appointed German minister to Spain. He was subsequently promoted to the post of ambassador to Turkey, and was recalled from Constantinople In 1883 to serve as secretary of state for for eign affairs. In 1885 he succeeded Count Munster as Ambassador to the court of St. James. Count von Hatzfeldt-Wlldenburg married the daughter of Charles Frederick Moulton of New York. He was divorced from her In 1886 at the instigation, it Is said, of Bismarck, who objected to her because her mother had been an actress, and who refuse.! to recommend Count Hatzfeldt to the post of foreign secre tary unless he secured a divorce. The separation was only nominal, however, and they were remarried two years la marry Prince Maximilian of Hohen lohe. BRYAN TALKS OF BRAZILIANS. Col. Charles Page Bryan, minister to Brazil, delivered an address at the Ar mour Institute of Technology In Chi cago recently on "American Diplomacy in South America." He asserted that Brazil was more In sympathy with the United States than with any foreign power. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, president of tho institute, announced that ad dresses would be delivered later by the following: President Schurman of Cornell, President Eliot of Harvard, President Draper of the University of Illinois, Senator C. W. Fairbanks ol Indiana and Senator Spooner of Wis consin. MAKES HORSES APPEAR SPIRITED. Bit burrs for making horses hold their heads high In the air are said to be in common use in New York. Eight pairs of the burrs were removed from the mouths of horses at t a c h e d to private car riages In front of the Madison Square Gar den In New York on T h u r sday night. The owners of the carriages desired to have their horses make a good appearance at the horse show, and hit upon that means of making an ordinary animal appear frisky. The bit burr is a contrivance made of heavy leather, three inches In diam eter. In the center Is a hole large enough to admit the bit. On the Inner side of the burr are bunches of bristles, which protrude a quarter of an Inch. Tho burr Is slipped on the bit and the bristles rub against the side of the horse's mouth when the line Is pulled taut. Tho burr is used legitimately for correcting a "one-line puller," as s horse which pulls to one side la called. Bristles is the usual material used for studding the burr, although It la charged that some horse owners use tacks, with the sharp point filed off. Both kinds of the burr are sa d to have been removed trom the New York horses. Whore Mnrrluae U Kpldemlr. Servla is in trouble now with an epidemic of marriages. The cause is the system of marriage banks founded as an encouragement to thrift, but which have proved to have quite an opposite effect. The young men and maidens of Servla begin paying into these Institutions at an early age on the promise of a premium on marriage. Immediately a small sum has been ac cumulated the desire for marriage grows overwhelming, with the result that the first offer Is snapped up. In consequence prematurely early and un happy marriuges are general. Ths matter has now reached the govern ment, and the advisability of abolish ing these banks, which are held to bs the root of ths evil, Is being debated. IMS WEEKLY PANORAMA MACHINISTS' UNION AGENT.

Miss Spellman Is a petite and pretty young lady, with black hair and dark brown eyes. ABBEY'S VISIT TO AMERICA. Edwin Austin Abbey, the noted Am erican painter who is now on his way for a short visit to the United States, has been chosen by King Edward to commemorate the coronation by paint ing the scenes attendant upon that function. He Is a native of Philadel phia, who, In 1878, at the age of 28. went to live permanently In London EDWIN AUSTIN ABBEY. Since that time Mr. Abbey has become one of the foremost artists of Europe.

This Illustrious Am erican Is a member of the Koyal Academy and the Royal Institute, and he was recently elected an honorary member of the Munich Academy, in which he has exhibited several of his canvases with great success.
