The large American Interests established In that country in connect .on with the Nicaragua 1 anal were not molested. The canal oomjjany has unfortunately be come financially seriously embarrassed, but a generous treatment has been extended to It by the (iovernment of Nicaragua. The United State arc especially Interested In tne success ful achievement of the vast undertaking this company has in charge. That it snould be ac complished under distinctively American aus pices, and Its enjoyment assured not only to the vessels of this coantry as a channel of communication between our Atlantic and Pa cific sealioarda, but to tbe ships of the world in the lilt rests of civilization, is a proposition wbich. in my judgment, does not admit of question. Oautemela has alao been visited by the po litical vicissitudes which have affifcted ber Central American neighbors; but the dissolu tion of Its legislature and the proclamation of a dictatorship have been unattended with civil war. An extradition treaty with Norway baa re cently been exchanged and proclaimed. Tbe extradition treaty with Russia signed in March. 18n7, mad amended and con tinned br tbe Senate in February last, was duly proclaimed last June Triple Protectorate of Kimoa. l,ed by a desire to compose differences and contribute to the restoration of order in feamoa. which for some years previons bad been the scene of conflicting foreign pretentions and native atrife. tbe United Mates, departing from It policy consecrated by a century of observance, entered four years ago into the treaty of B rlln, thereby becoming jointly bound with i.ngland and Germany to establlah and maintain Malietoa Laupepl as King of si i. oa- early Is the life of this triple protectorate, the native dls.entlons it ws de sign -d to quell revived. vulte lately, at the request of the other poaeis, and In fulfillment of its treaty ob ligati n, tola '.iovernment agreed to unite n a joint military movement of such dimensions as would probably secnte the sur render of trie Insurgents without binodsned. Tue warship Philadelphia was accordingly put under orders lor Samoa, but before she ar rived the threatened conflict was precipitated by King Malletoa's attack upon the Insurgents' camp. M stasia was defeated and a number of nien killed Tne British and German naval vessels present subsequently secured tbe sur render of Mataa.a and his adherents. This incident aid the events leading up to It s g naliy illustrate tbe impolicy of entangling alliances with foreign powers. Claims Against paiu. More than fifteen rears ago this Govern ment preferred a claim against Spain in be half ol one of our clt.zens for pmp' rty seized and confiscated in mtia. lu lw tbi claim was ail ju -ted. Spain agreeing t psll-jti-ditionaliy as a fair Indemnity H. j'.i-v. a respectful but earnest note ut recently ail dresed to the Spanish Governmen mating upon a prompt fulfillment of Its long neglected obligation, other claims p a lerred by tbe I nlfrd States against fpam in behalf of American citizens for property confiscated in Cuba, have been pending for many years. At the time Spa n's title to tbe Caroline Islands waacounnned br arbitration, that Government agreed that tbe rights which baitbeen acanired there by American mission aries should be recognized and respected. The reproduced caravel, Santa Maria, bnilt by Spain and sent to the Columbian Imposition, has been presented to tbe United state in token of amity and In commemoration of the event it was deslgued to celebrate I recom mend that, tn accepting this gift, Congress make grateful recognition of th sincere friendship which prompted It. American Missions In Turkey, Important matter have demanded attention In our relations with the Ottoman Porte. The firing and partial destruction, by an unie strained mob, of one of the school bnildingsof Anatolia College, established by citizens of tn Initod Stales at Maraovan. and the apparent indifference of th Turkish Government to the outrage, notwithstanding tbe complicity of some of It official, called for earnest re uionatrano. which was followed by promise of reparation and punishment of the offenders. Indemnity for tbe injury to the building, ha already been paid, permlaslon to rebuild given, registration of the achool nmirt. in th. name of the American owner aeenred, and effi cient protection guaranteed. Hawaiian Itootloa. It 1 hardly neceaaary for ma to state that Suestioaa arising from our relation, with lawall have caused aerlous em barraasmeut. Juat prior to tbe installation of the present administration tbe existing government of Hawaii had been suddenly overthrown and a treaty of annexation had been negotiated be tween the Provisional Government of the la lands and th Inited States and submitted to tbe Senate for rati float Ion. Thl treaty I withdrew for examination, and dispatched tbe Hon. J sane H. Blount, of Oeorgia. to Honolulu, aa a special commissioner to make an Impartial investigation of the otrcumstanree attending lb change of government, and of all the ecu dittoo bearing upon the subject of tbe treat . After a thorough and exhaustive examination Mr. Blount submitted to me his report showing beyond all question that tbe Constitutions! Government 0f Hawaii had been subverted with the active aid of our representative to that uovnramoat, and through the Intimida tion caused by th presence of an armed naval foroe of th United State, which waa landed for that parpos at the Instance of oor Min uter. Upon the fact developed it seemed to me th only honorable course for our (toverr. nont to pursue was to undo the wrong teat bad bora done by taooe representing a, and to restore, a far a practicable, th Stat OXMtlBg at the tlm of ant fanrial tw- terventaon. wita a vlow of inJiahtM tkU roamH within tbe constitutional llmiuof obligation and responsibilities gr wing out of any enangod condition broatit abont our Bajutiuebl iaterforeao. our t aiaieter at B rJa has t J ff?" liiiailali laotraetlowa to . that Tha (gg no mfovaaakioa of ao- ioaavvd OM Bf ft cimcinTt.t folutwn, iSttH it ih t4&.U Krb.

I do not doubt th: .1 the ultimate result ot this ac tion will be most salutatory and far-reaching. In tbe nature of things, however, it is impos sible to know at this time precisely what conditions will be brought about by the change, or what. If any. supplementary legis lation may. in the light of such conditions, i appear to oe essenti i or expedieut. Of course, 1 after tbe recent financial perturbation, time I is ncceasary for the rc-establisbme t of busl- i ness confidence. When, however, through : this restored confidence, the money which lias been frightened Into boardlng-oiacea is re. turn.d to trade and enterprise, a survey ot the situation will probably dis close a safe path leading to a oer- manentiy sound currency. abundaiitlv ' sufficient to meet every requirement of our in creasing population and business. In tbe ! pursuit of this object we should resolutely . turn away from alluring and temporary e- j pedleuta, detrtmlned to be content with not i- , in less than a lasting and comprehensive ' nnsnclal plan. In these circumstances 1 am - convinced that a reasonable delay In dealing 1 witn i-uis suDjcct, insteai or oeing injurlons, I will increase th probability of wise action. !

The execution of this jaw tn it. early stages does not seem to l ave been In accord with Its ttue ntentton; bnttowsr lthe close of the last administ ra tion an autborltallve construction was given to tbe statute, and since that time this con struction has been followed.

Tbe discovery having been made that many names hsve been put npou tbe iwnslon roll by means f wholesale an 1 gigantic frauds, tbe Commissioner suspended paymenta upon a number of pensions which seemed to be fraud ulent or unauthorized pending a complete ex amination, giving notice to tne pensioners In order that they migl t have an opirt unity to rstabllsb. if possible, tbe justice of tbelr claims, notwithstanding apparent Invalidity.

Tbe 1'roinl.e of Tariff Reform. After a bard struggle tariff reform Is directly before ua. Nothing so Imiortant claims our attention, aud nothing so clearly present it self as both an opitonnnlly and a duty aa opportunity to deserve the gratitude of our fcllow-cltlzene. and a duty Imposed uoa os by our oft-repested profession and by the e.nphatio mandate of tbe people. After full discussion our countrymen have poke tn favor of this reform, snd they have confided the work ot Us accomplishment to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged to It. If there 1 anything in the t. eory of a representation in pabllc places of the people and their desires. If public officer ar reallv the ftervarits of the peoplo. and If pollt- ! leal promises and professions have any bind ing force, our failure lo give the relief so long awaited will be sheer recreancy. Nt thing sboultl Intervene to distract our attention or j disturb our effort nntll this reform la aocota- pllsbed by wise and careful legislation, ! V hit we ebould alanchly adhere to th principle that only tbe necessity of revenue justifies the imposl tlon ot tariff duties and other Federal taxation, and that tbey ebould be limited by strict economy, we can Dot close our eyes to the fact that conditions have grown wbich. Injustice and fairness, cell for dis criminating care lathe discrimination of snch duties snd taxation a. the emegencie of our Oovernment actually demand. Manifestly. If we are to aid the people dlrec.lv through tariff reform, on of It most obvious features should be a reduction in preseul tariff charge upon the neces saries of life. The benefits of such a re duction would be palpable and substantial, seen aud felt by thousands who would be bet ter fed, and better clothed, and better shel tered. These gifts should lie the willing bene factions of a Government whose highest func tion Is the promotion of the welfare of the people. Not leas closely related to our people' pros perity aud well-being I the removal of re strictions upon the Tmpoitation of the raw materials necessary to our manufact urers, ibe wjrld should be open to our national Ingenuity and enterprise, Tula oea not be while Federal legis lation, through tbe Imposltlna of high tariff, forbids to American manufacturer as cheap material ss thee used by their com petitor, it ta quite obvious that the en hancement of the price of our manufactured products, resulting from this policy, not only confines the market for these products within our own borders, to the direct disadvantage of our manufacturer, but also increase their cost to our citi zen. The interests of labor are certainly, though Indirectly, Involved in this feature of our tariff system. Tbe sharp competition and active struggle among our mat ufru tur ers to supply the limited demand for their goods, soon fill the narrow market to which they are confineii Then follows a ""i"""'"" "ufs J'"-'"- a discharge of n the home of our i utt)ieuslon of work In the mills and fao- employes. and distress workbigmcn. Kven It th I often disproved assertion could lie marie good tnat a rower rate ot wages wnuin result Irom free raw materials and low tariff duties, th intelligence of onr worklnginen lead them quteklv to discover that their steady employ ment, permitted by free raw materials, is tbe most Important factor tn their relation to tar iff legi-latlon. A measure ba been prepared by the appro priate Congressional committee embo lying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested which w.ll be promptly .ubmitted for legislative action. It 1 the result of much patriotic and unselfish work, and I believe It deal with It subject oonltently and as thoroughly as existing conditions per ron. I am satisfied that tbe reduced tariff du ties provided for In the proposed legislation, added to the existing Internal-revenue taxa tion, will, in th near future, though perhep not immediately, produce sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the (iovernment. Additional lalornal Hevrnue Taxes. The committee after full consideration, and to proviae asraiast a temnorarv denclencv whl. h may exist before the business of tha country adjust ltaelf to the new tariff eched- ".' wl"' embraced In tbelr plan a few additional Internal revenue taxes.

Tbeac new as sessment, ar not only absolutely just and easily borne bat they have the further merit of being uh aa can be remit ted with out unfavorable boalneas disturbance when ever tbe nsostslty of tbe Imposition no longer exist. In my great desire for the suc cess of this measure I can not restrain tha nggeatlon that Ite success can only bo attained by mean of uncelflsh counsel oa th part of tbe friend of tariff reform, and a a result Mr willing S? .Moat, praooat dealres and I anxbltimia to tST S,?Jl ft"1 IceaTtatSo't. rf.".!

Another vaifratit told a story of a man he had met in South Oeiiuauy on the road with .00 mark, in his pocket, which he h.id collected in two weeks in Munich. Itis a g eat amusement for the tramp off duty to figure out the pos tiblliile of his callintf and to illus trate the Mine with stor es.

I saw the record for March, and found that hfs Ba ns had been ninety-three marks and a lew pfen nigs, not includinif the uieals which he had had in various kitchens where the servants were friendly. I must say riitht here, however, that such sucesi is found only in cities For I am)lcd the charity of the countrr time after time, and it is worth a l.are livlr.a only, or, as Carl was wont to tay, 'One can'i net fat on it." one tramp was pblloMiphhini; In a m Hinder na way over his life on the r. ui and what first brought him there, lie reasoned that as he was Imrn lay tbe blame should Ire put on his i arc-1 its. but ho finally concluded that the schnaptmllasebe also had a hand in the business. Another com panion said: '-Why should I work when I cm tieir more than lean pos sibly earn? Now, If I should follow my trade, I could earn about 18 marks a week, liut as a lieKar 1 can beat that by 10 marks. So, brother, It Isn't all the blame of theschnapps llasche that we're on tiie road.

It miKht be con ectured, i.erhaps, that i-cott's and riyron's treoius was favored by the circumstances of their birth; that the wild scenes In wh ch Scott's Infancy was pawsed, and tha local lcitcuda with which bis bead was tilled, determined him to ballad writing-, and tbat the ballad writing In-d naturally In lu turn to romance; uod that the hlh station and undis ciplined llttertv of Byron's childhood fo lered that passionate self-will and brooding- tma.indtlon which showed themselves !n his tlerctJ, scornful, and moody verse. This, we say, rolht, perhaps, le conjectured with some probability, and the like miuht be ?aid of W ordsworth's Infancy. Hut how t-nall we maintain that tbe conditions of Keate's Cock t ey birth in a livery stable, or his education in a disectinir room, fa vor, d the growth of that most deli cate and rich type of almost Hellenic clearness and beauty of imagination? And how shall we maintain that Dicken's menial tasks in the cork ng of blacking bottles fostered the growth of tl.at wondcrfu humor and that microscopic accura y of vision which tilled the world with laughter ai.d with Inimitable caricature, such as no comedy, not even Molicre's bad anib ljated?

It is the rare exception, and nob tbe rule, when we Und Chatham suc ceeding in producing such a botbou-e flower as William i ltt, or James Mill succeeding in elaborating a specimen more perfect than himself of a thinker of his own type, in the studious, diligent, diffuse, lucid, and rather dreary logl Ian and economist who left bis mark on the English philosophy of tbe third quarter of this century, or do we ever find In rare Instances of this sort the higher kinds of oilginal genius.
