Th demand for forest reserve haa b

Patent to Foreigner,
In granting patents to foreigner th
proper course for tht country to follow
la to give the same advantage to for

benefits of oar patent lawa on Inventions

would be patentable in the foreign coun

oould get a corresponding patent in auch

In my last annual messaere the atten

necessity of enlarging the aafety-appllanc
aw. am u is graurying to note that this
I" w araa amended In Important respects.
With ftie increasing railway mileage of
tha country, th greater number of men
employed, and the us of larger and
heavier equipment, th urgency for re
newed effort to prevent th loss of life
and limb upon the railroads of th coun
try, particularly to employes, la apiwrrnt.
Fur the Inspection of water craft and
th I.lfe-Kaving Service upon th water
the r.'ongresa haa built up an elaborate

Th only people who ar contented w!th
a syatem of promotion by mcr seniority
are those who er contented with th

On the other hand a sytem which en
couraged the exervla of social or politi
cal favoritism In promotion would be
even worse. Kut It would sorely txi cay
to devise a method of promotion from
grade to grade In which the opinion of
the higher officer of the eervlce opon
ths randldatea ahould be deel-.lv upon
th standing and promotion of the latter.
Just auch a system new obtain at West
Point. The quality ef each year' work
determines the standing ef that year a

poattion which his military aupertr de

Moreover, when a man renders such

Th Navy.
Shortly after the enunciation of that
famous principle of American foreign
policy now known aa the " Monroe Doc
trine,'" ITesident Monroe, In m special
nieannge to Congresa on Jan. 30, l-c't,
spoke as follows: "The navy la the arm
from whlc. our tJovernmuit will atwaye
derive mot aid In support of our
rights. Every power engaged in wsr will
know the airensth of our naval power,
the number ef our ships of each class.
their condition, and the promptitude with
which we may bring them into aervice.
and will pay due vouaideratlon to Uiat
argument."
I heartily congratulate the Oongrea
cpon the steady progress In building up
the American navy. We can not a fiord
a let-up In this great work. To stand
till mean to go hack. There ahould be
no cessation In adding to tne effective
unlis of the fighting strength of the fleet.
steanwhlls the Jvavy department and tho
officers of the navy ar doing well their
part by providing constant service at
sea under condition akin to those of
actual warfare. Our offlcera and enlisted
men are learning to handle the battle
hips, cruisers, and torpedo boata with
high eniclency In fleet and squadron rr-
Biatlona, and the standard of markman
ahlp la being steadily raised. Th best
work ashnr le Indispensable, hut the

It le eminently desirable, however, that
there shou.d tie provided a naval general
staff on llnea similar to those of the Gen
eral 81 iff lately c'euled for the army.
Within th Navy department jtself th
need of the servlt-e lave brought about
a aystem under whh h the dunes of a
general staff are partially pi formed ; for
the bureau of Navigation haa under its
direction the War College, th ornc of
Naval Intelligence, and th tioard of In

though undee the excellent orTleers at
