fiTess Biiail' otherwise act.
I^dlowing the further provision of tho
joint resolution, I appointed the Honor
ables Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois John
T. Morgan of Alabama Robert R. HI'tt,
of Illinois Sanford B. Dole, of Hawaii,
and Walter F. Grear, of Hawaii, as com
misslor^fs to confer and recommend to
•congress such legislation concerning tho
Hawaiian islands as tlvey should deem
proper. The commissioners having ful
filled. tholr mission confided to them,
their report will be laid before you
at an early,*lay. It is believed, that their
recomrr.onflnUona will have th6 earnest
•consideration due to the. magnitude p£ tho
responsibility resting upon you to give
such shape to the relationship of those
mid-Pacific lands to our home Union as
will benefit1 both 1n the highest degree,
realizing tho aspirations of the communi
ty that has cast its lot with us, and elect
ed to share our political heritage while,
At the same time, justifying the foresight
•of those who for three-quarters of a cen
tury havu looked to 'the. assimilation of
Hawaii as a natural and inevitable con
summation, in harmony with our needs,
and in fulfillment of our cherishcd tradi
tions.
Czar's Peace Proclamation.
His majesty the czar, having announced
,liis purpose lo raiso the imperial Russian
..mission at this capital to the rank of an
anlwHsy, I responded under ihe authority
conferred by the act of M.iroli It, 1803. by
commissioning and acciedit:ng the ao.ual
representative! at St. Pttersbm" ii* the
capacity of amb ssador extraordina a id
minister plenipotentiary. The Russian
embassador to this country has since
presented his credentials.
The proposal of the czar for a general
reduction of the vast military establish
rnciiis. that vviMsvh so heavily up'oi1 many
op'e 11 time of ace was mraun c.itc.'l
to this gove ni'ient with an earnest invi
tation to be represented in the conference
which it is contemplated to assemble with
a view to discussing the means of accom
plishing EO desirable a result. His maj
esty was at once informed of the cordial
sympathy of this government with prin
ciple involved in his exalted proposal and
of tho readiness of the tin ttd St tes to
take part in the conference. The active
miitarv force of the United States as
measured bv our population, territorial
area and taxable wealth is and under
prospective conditions must continue to
be, i'n time of peace, so conspicuously less
than that of the armed powers to whom
the czar's appeal Is especially addressed
that the ciuestion can have for us no
pr-'Hir:il importance save as marking an
auspicious step toward the betterment of
the confiit on of tlife modern peoples and
the cultivation of peace and good will
among them but in this view it behooves
nr. as a 'nation to lend countenance and
aid to the beneficent project.
The claims of owners of American seal
ing vessels for seizure by Russian cruisers
in'Bering sea are being pressed to a set
tlement. The equities of tho cases justify
the expectation that a incisure of repara
tion will eventually ba accorded in har
mony with percedent and in the light of
the proven facts.
The president says that the newly
credited envoy ot the United States to
the Ottoman porte carries instructions
looking to the disposal of matters in con
troversy with Turkey for «. number of
years.
I have the satisfaction of being1 able to
state that the bureau of the American re
publics, created in 190, as the orfgan for
promoting commercial intercourse and
fraternal reflations among the countries of
the Western, hemisphere* has become a
most efficient instrument of the wise pur
pose of its founders, and is receiving the
cordial support of the countries of the in
ternational uniion which are actually rep
resented in its board of management. A
commercial directory in. two volumes, con
taiming- a mass of statistical matter de
scriptive of industrial andi commercial in
terests of the various countries, has been
prinited.in English, Spamiish, Portuguese
and French, and a monthly bulletin- pub
lished in these four languages and dis
tributed in the I^atini-American coun
tries sa well as in 'the United States,
has proved to be a valuable medium for
disseminating information. and furthering
tho variod interests of the international
un'i on.
Alluding to the financial affairs of the
country, thu president says in part:
"The secretary of the treasury reports
that the icreipts of the government from
all sourcer during the fiscal year ended
June 30, l.Sl'S, including $04,751,223 re
ceived from sale of Pacific railroads,
an otmted to $i05,M21, :::.j and its ex
penditures to $443,908,382.
"It is estimated upon the basis of pres
ent revenue laws, that the receipts of the
govefnment foV the year ending June 30,
18119, wl'l be $577,874,047 and its expendi
tures S68I.S74.C47, resulting in a deficiency
of $112,000,000.
ac­
Currency Legislation.
"In my judgment, the present condition
of the treasury amply justifies the imme
diate enactment of tho legislation recom
mended one year ago, under which a por
tion of the gold holdings should be placed
in a trust fund from which greenbacks
should be redeemed upon presentation,
but when cnce redeemed should not there
after be paid out except for gold.
"It is not to be inferred that other legis
lation relating to our currency is not re
quired on the contrary, there is an obvi
ous demand for it."
The importance of adequate provision,
which will insure to our future a money
standard related as our money standard
now Is to that cf our commercial rivals, is
generally recC3
:iisod.
The companion proposition that our do
mestic paper currency should be kept
safe, and yet be so related to the needs of
our industries and international com
merce as to be adequate and' responsive
fo such needs, is a proposition scarcely
less important. The subject in all its
pairts Is recommended to the wise consid
eration of tho congress.
The president says that in view of the
recent acquisition of territory by the
United States, there should be established
regular and frequent steamship com
munication. under the American flag with
the nmvly acquired islands.
In view. also, of the increased impor
tance of the proposed formation of a com
mission of sanitary experts to investigate
the yellow fever problem, owing to the
military occupation of Cuba, the presi
dent recommends that congress should
provide for such commission.
Tlie Army.
Under the act of congress approved
April 26, 181)8, and authorizing the presi
dent in his discretion, upon a declaration
of war by congress or a declaration by
congress that war exists, I directed the
increase of the regular army to the max
imum of 02,000 authorized In said act.
There are now in the regular army
57,802 officers and men. In said act it
was provided "that at t'he end of any
war in which the United States may be
come involved the army shall be reduced
to a peace basis by the transfer in. the
same arm of the service or absorption by
promotion cr honorable discharge under
such regulations as the secretary of war
may establish of supernumerary commis
sioned officers and the honorable dis
charge or transfer of supernumerary en
listed men, and nothing contained in this
act shall be construed as authorizing the
permanent increase of the commissioned
or enlisted force of the regular army be
yond that now provided by the law in
force prior to the passage of this act ex
cept aa to the ircrease of twenty-five
majors provided for in section 1 thereof."
The importance of legislation for the
permanent increase of the army is there
for© manifest and the recommendation of
t'he secretary of war for that purpose has
my unqualified approval. There can be
Tia question that at this time and probably
for some time in the future, one hundred
thousand men will be none too many to
meet the necessities of the situation. At
all events whether that number shall ba
required permanently or not the power
should be given to the president to enlist
that force if in his discretion it Shall be
•necessary and the further discretion
should ijo civ£n.hi® tft-recrult within the
above nunc rrom rne inhabitants' or ttie
isl-inds with the government of which we
are charged.
It is my purpose to muster out the on-"
tire '.volunteer army as soon as the con
gress Shall provide for the increase of the
regular establishment. This will be only.
an act of justice, and will be much ap
preciated by the brave iren who left their
homes and employments to 1 clp the coun
try In Its emergency.
The following ret'omnvniMlations of tho
secretary of the navy, relative to the in
crease of tihe navy, have my earnest upi
proval:
Finst—Three sea-going sheathed and cop
porcd battlefiihip.s of about 13,500 tons
trial displacement, carryiing the heaviest
armor a.ml most powerful ordnance for
ves'si'ls of tlioir clans ar.rl to have the
highest practicable fpeed and greatest
radius of action. Estimated cost, exclu
sive of armor and armament, .? i,UUl,UU
each.
Second—Three sheathed and coppered
armored cruiisem cf about 12,0tHl tons -~-!al
displacement, carry!,tin the .heaviest armor
a.nd most powerful ordnance for vessels
of their claps, amd to have the highest
practicable speed and greatest radius of
action. Estimated cost, exclusive of ar
mor and armament. $4.000.ilOO each.
Third—1Three sheathed and coppered pro
tected cruisers of about 0.000 tons trial
displacement, to have t'he highest practic
able speed and great rad'ius of actiom, and
to carry the most powerful ordnance suit
able for vessels of their cla.ss. Estimated
cost, exclusive of armor and armament,
$2,150,000 each.
Fourth—Six sheathed and coppered
cruisers of about 2.500 tons trial displace
ment to have the highest speed compati
ble 'with good cruising qualities, great
radius of action and to carry the most
powerful ordnance suited to vessels ot
their class. Estimated cost, exclusive of
armament. $1,140,800 each.
I join with the secretary of tl).c navy
In recommending that the grades of ad
miral and vice ndmiral be. cmnorarily
revived to ba llled with officers who have
espocia'lv distinguished thfinselves in the
war with Spain.
The special attention of the congress is
called to that part of the report of the
secretary of the interior in relation to the
five civilized Indian tribes. It is note
worthy that the geniral condition of the
Indian shows marked progress. But one
outbreak of a. serious character occurred
during the year, and that among the Chip
pewa. Indians of Minnesota, which happily
has been supressed.
While it has not yet been practicable to
on force all the provisions of the act ot
June 28. 1808. "for the protection, ot' the
•people of tho Indian Territory and for
other purposes." it is havimg a salutary
eff'-f upon the nations composing the 11ve
•tribes.- The Dawes commission reports
that the most gratifying results and great
er advance tov,-::rd the attainment of the
o^.ects of the government have been se
cured i-.n the past year than in any previ
ous year.
I ca:nnot too strongly indorse the rec
ommendiatione of the commission and of
the secretary of the interior for the neces
sity of providing for the education of the
90,500
white children resident in the In
dian Territory.
Pulillc Lnntla.
The pvblie lands disposed of by the gov
ernment during the year reached 8,453,
890.92 acres, an increase of 014,780.20 acres
over the previous year. The total receipts
amounted to $2,277,995.18, an increase of
$190,003.90 over the preceding year. The
lands embraced In the eleven forest res
ervations, which were suspended by tha
act of June 4, 1897, again become subject
to the operations of the proclamations
of Feb. 22, 1897, creating them, which
added an estimated amount of 19,951,360
acres to the area embraced In the reserves
previously created. In addition thereto
two new reserves were created during the
year, tne fine Mountain and Zaca Lake
reserve, in California, embracing 1,044,594
acres, and the Prescott reserve, In
Arizona, embracing 10,220 acres, while the
Pecos River reserve in New Mexico has
been changed and enlarged to include 120,
000 additional acres.
At the close of the year thirty forest
reservations, not Including thoso of t'he
Afogonac forests and the fish culture
reservation in Alaska, have been created
by proclamation under section 34 of the
act of March 3, lS'.'l, embracing an esti
mated area of JO,719,474 acres.
The department of the interior has in
augurated a forest system, made possible
by tho act of July, 1898, for a graded
force of otlicers in control of the reserves.
This system has only been in full opera
tion since August, but good results have
already been secured in many sections.
The reports received indicate that the
system of patrol has not only prevented
destructive fires from gaining headway,
but has diminished the number of fires.
Promoting Agriculture.
The department of agriculture has been
active in the past year. Explorers have
beein sent to many of the countries of the
Eastern and Western hemispheres for
seeds and plants that may ibe useful to
the United States, aind with the further
view of opening up markets for our sur
plus products. The forestry division of
the department is giving special attention
to the treeiless regions of our coumtry, and
is introducing species especially adapted
to semi-arid regions. Forest fires, wiiich
seriously interfere with production, es
pecially in irrigated regions are being
studied that the losses from this cause
may be avoided. The department is in
quiring into the use and abuse of water in
many stales ut tne West and coueu-uing
information regarding the laws of the
states, tne decisions of the courts and the
custo.ns of the people in. this regard so
that uniformity may be secured.
Experimental stations are becoming
more valuable every year. The apyropr.a
tion of $'(02,iKK' by congress is supple
mented by $400,000 from the stations.
Nation wide exp-rimenits have been con
ducted to i.!3-e.:-i ui.:.'i the suitableness'as to
soil and clim.ote an-cl t'tates for growing
sugar beets. Tho number of beet sugar
factories has been doubled in the past two
years, aim tins aiii.'.ny ot tne uiiutea
States to produce iu own tugar from this
sou-rce has been clearly demonstrated.
The weather bureau -forecast and ob
servation stations have been extended
around tlhe Caribbean sea to give early
warning of the approach of hurricanes
from the south seas to our fleets and mer
chant marine.
I earnestly urge upon congress the im
portance of early legislation providing for
the taking of the twelfth ce .sus. .iJiis
i3 necessary in view of the large amount
of work which must be performed in tho
preparation of the schedules preparatory
to the enumeration of the population.
•mere were on tne pension rou& on june
30, 1898. 993,714 names, an increase of
nearly 18,000 over the number on the rolls
on the same day of the preceding year.
The amount of the appropriat.on by act
of Dec. 22, 1890, for the payment of pen
sions for the fiscal year 1858 was $140,000,
000. Eight million seventy thousand e.feht
hundred and seventy-two dollars and
forty-six cents was appropriated by the
act of March 3, 1898, to cover deficiencies
to army pensions, and repayment the
sum of .$12,020.33, making a total of $148,
082.892.79 available for ihe ayment of
pensions during the fiscal year 1S98. The
amount disbursed from that sum was
$144,001,879.80, leaving a balance if $3,431,
012.99 unexpended un tho )tn of June,
1898, which was covered into the treasury.
There were 3S9 names added to he ro Is
during the year by special acts passed at
the second session of the fifty-fifth con
gress, making a total of 0,480 pensions by
congressional enactments since 1801.
TTfe several documentary reports will bo
laid before you. They give in great detail
the conduct of tho affairs of the govern
ment durinir the past year and scuts
many questions upon which the congress
may bo called upon to act.

TREATY ALMOST
CONCLUDED
ESSEXTl.VIi FEATURES HAVE BEEN
DISPOSED OP.
Senator Davli Soya tUe Treaty Will
Be Found to Be One of the Most
Interesting: Paiicis of Its Char­
acter Ever Written—Complete De­
tails for the Evncnutlon of the
Philippines Stipulated—The Ques­
tion of a Coaling Station in the
Carolines Not Yet Settled—Spain's
ltcqucst for Free Shipping- in
Cuban and Porto Rican Waters
Ilejectcd.
Paris, Dec. 8.—The peace of Paris is
practically an accomplished fact. Yes
terday's session disposed of the essen
tial features of the treaty which will
be embodied in the following eight
articles:
First—The customary preface of
treaties, in the nature of an expression
of amity and of hope for perpetual
peace.
Stcond The relinquishment by
Spain of her sovereignty ever Cuba.
Third—The withdrawal of the Span
ish troops.
Fourth The relinquishment by
Spain of her sovereignty over Porto
Rico.
Fifth—Spain's cession of the Philip
pines.
Sixth—The withdrawal of the Span
ish troops there.
Seventh Payment by the United
States of $20,000,000 for the Philip
pines.
Eighth—The provision for the "open
door" commercial poiicy in the Philip
pines.
The rough draft of the treaty, which
may be considerably changed,
Covers the Proposals.
It makes a long document which, Sen
ator Davis, of the United States peace
con mission, says will be found to be
one of the most interesting papers of
its character ever writtiv.. So com
pletely are the details of ihe evacua
tion of the Philippines stipulated that
a commission such as arranged for the
Spanish withdrawal from the West
Indies will be unnecessary. Among
the questions yet unsettled, however,
are the coaliug station and religious
freedom in tlie Carolines, the Spanish
commission not having replied to the
American offer. Tlie Americans have
agreed to transport the Spanish pris
oners home, including the garrison and
sailors at Manila captured by Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Merritt, as well as
the soldiers and civilians held by the
Filipinos, whose return the Americans
have guaranteed. As compensation,
Spain
Promises to Liberate
all Cuban, Porto Hi can and Philippine
political prisoners. Spanish soldiers
electing to remain in the colonies may
do so, but it is more a matter of
economy for the Americans to return
the others, as they must be fed as long
as they are kept, and Spain is unable
to bear the expanse of the repatriation.
Also the Americans have rejected
Spain's request for free shipping for
ten years in Cuban and Porto Eican
waters, they having given the Spanish
commissioners such poor consolation
as the latter may derive from the per
mission to re-apply when the diplomat
ic relations have been renewed for
shipping concessions under the reci
procity scheme of the Dingley law,
for which Senor P-upuy de Lome waa,
negotiating in Washington when the
war broke out. There are still under
discussion eiglit secondary subjects
which the Spanish commissioners
broached last week, including the
status of patents and copyrights. The
American commissioners handed to
Senor Rios a written reply covering
these questions. There will probably
bt no joint session to-day as tlie Span
iards desire time to consider this docu
ent.
SIGNING THE TREATY.
Expected ly Members of the Cabinet
Within a Few Days.
Washington, Dec. 8.—The cabinet at
its meeting discussed in a general way
matters in connection with the move
ments of troops to Cuba, but nothing
new was developed. The president's
message to congress was also talked
over, as well as the prospective early
signing of the Paris treaty. It was
the opinion of the members that the
commission will probably be able to
leave Paris with a signed treaty with
in the next few days.
FORGER'S CONFESSION.
Admits His Crime So That :Iis Part
ner May Not Benefit.
San Francisco, Dee. 8.—Carl Becker,
one of a quartet of forgers, who raised
a $12 check to $22,000 on the Nevada
bank, has confessed. His accomplices
have all turned state's evidence, and it
is believed that Becker confessed so
that Crcegan, who has been his partic
ular partner in crime, could not bene
fit by his confession which was made
about ten days ago.
They Wnnt More Money.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 8—A commit
tee of five men, representing the teleg
raphers and station agents along the
lines of the Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf railroad north of Kansas City, ar
rived here to present a demand' to the
company's general officers for an ad
vance of 25 per cent in wages. It is
stated that a refusal to grant the in
crease may result in a strike which
would involve about 400 men.
OPPOSITION TO
EXPANSION
SPRINGS UP IN THE SENATE|rHUS
EARLY.
Senator Vest Introduces a Joint Res­
olution That Under the Constitu­
tion No Power Is Given the Fed­
eral Government to Acquire Ter­
ritory to Be Held and Governed
as Colonies—Brief Discussion of
Navigation Laws—House Adjourns
Out of Respect to the Memory of
Two Deceased Members.
Washington, Dec. 7.—The first note
of the anti-expansionists was sounded
in the senate by Senator Vest of Mis"
souri, who introduced the following
joint l-esolution:
"That under the constitution of the
United States no power is given to the
federal government to acquire territory
to be held and governed permanently
as colonies. The colonial system of
European nations cannot be estab
lished under our present constitution
but all territory acquired by the gov
ernment, except such saiall amount as
may be necessary fr.r coaling stations,
correction of boundaries and similar
governmental purposes must be ac
quired and governed with the purpose
of ultimately organizing such terri
tories into states suitable for admission
into the Union."
A brief discussion of the navigation
laws was precipitated by the consider
ation of a bill amending those laws by
the addition of a provision that foreign
built vessels v.'recked in the United
States, purchased by citizens of this
country and repaired to the extent of
three-fourths of their value shall be
subject to forfeiture if they engage
subsequent^' in tho coastwise trade of
the United States. Mr. Ve-t, a member
of the committee on commerce ex
pressed his opposition to the bill,
principally because it afforded protec
tion to the coastwise trade which need
ed no protection. Mr. C'atfery of
Louisiana, who is a men?bet of the
committee on commerce, opposed the
bill. Finally it was made r. special
order for next Monday. At 1:30 the
senate adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
The President Sends in the Report
of the Hawaiian Commission.
The house was in session less than
half an hour yesterday when the

of Ohio and Love of Mississippi were
announced and an adjournment was
taken cut of res.peot to their memory.
Tlie customary resolution for the dis
tribution of the president's message to
the several committees having juris
diction was adopted, and' the deficiency
bill, carrying the appropriation for the
extraordinary expenses of tlie army
and navy from Jan. 1 to July 1, 1899,
was reported and will be taken up by
the house to-day. The report of the
Hawaiian commission, transmitted by
the president, was laid before the
house and referred to the committee
on territories, together with a bill of
fered by Mr. Hitt to carry out the
recommendations of the commission.
Express Company Must Pay.
Lansing, Mich., Dec. 8.—The Mich
igan supreme court, in a unanimous
opinion, decides that the American
Express company in Michigan must
itself pay the war revenue tax of 1
cent exacted on all packages trans
mitted. The court also decided) that
the pure food law passed by the last
legislature is unconstitutional because
no enacting clause was passed with
the bill.
Will Pay a Dividend.
Boston, Dec. 8.—The receivers of the
Massachusetts Life Benefit association
have asked the supreme court for
leave to pay a dividend of 20 per cent
upon the deaths and disability claims
which they have allowed as proper
charges against the fuuds in their
hands. They have on hand $203,000
and the dividends will consume about
$200,000.
An Emergency Fund.
Washington, Dec. 8.—An estimate of
$1,000,000 for the navy department as
an emergency fund was submitted to
congress. This is required to meet
unforseen contingencies arising from
new conditions and the results of the
recent war. It is desired that the
fund be immediately available and to
contirue available until Jan. 1, 1900.
Ice Plant Exploded.
New York, Dec. 8.—An explosion of
ammonia on board the marine hospital
ship Bay State as she was lying in a
