PRINCESS FLOUR Best Made. Ask your Grocer. WHAT DOES IT MEAK? Is the Revenue Cutter Going to Brins: Liliuokalani Here? Perhaps the Queen Has Accepted that SoOO.000 Bribe, and Wants to Visit Gresham and Cleveland. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 4. The United States revenue cutter Thomas Corwln Is under special orders for a 2.500 mile trip. Her destlnaUon is Honolulu, without doubt. Whether any person In diplomatic authority 13 coming here from Washington to go to the islands on the Corwln Is not known. It is quite likely, however, that a special messenger intrusted with secrets of state will be the emissary who will occupy one of the state rooms already set apart In the after cabin. The greatest secrecy has been maintained since the special orders arrived Saturday noon. These turned the cutter over to the State . Department and placed her under waiting orders. Instructions were also given to prepare for a 2.500 mile voyage and to be ready to sail In forty-eight "hours. A heavy supply of coal has been stowed on the Corwin's decks, In addlUon to that inthe bunkers. Yot Denied by Grenhani. WASIIINGTON.Dec. 4. Secretary Gresham declined to say anything this morning in regard to the report published that tho revenue cutter Thomas Corwln was to carrv a message on behalf of the State Department from 6an Francisco to Honolulu. There is reason to suppose, however, that the story Is substantially correct. Secretary Gresham was very busy with dispatches during the latter part of yesterday which are to go on the Corwln. As to what these contain nothing can be learned. Secretary Gresham was very emphatic In his assertions, at different times, that Minister Willis had received no further instructions since his departure from this country, and that he needed none. This gives rise to the surmise that the dispatch in haste of a special messenger at this time can only be caused by a change in the policy Intended to be pursued. An effort to learn from the officials on duty in the Treasury Department whether the Corwln has been turned over to the State Department to convey messages to Minister Willis met with but little success. An unusual amount of reticence is manifested in connection with the subject The fact that no denial is made of the published statements regarding the matter is accepted generally as an Indication that the reports are correct, and that the vessel is now at the disposal of the department. She is in good condition for travel and could make the trip in about nine days, or about the same time occupied by the Rush when slo took Commissioner Blount to the island. REPENT AT LEISURE. The Slastbaura-Van Kirk Marriage Will Soon Be Annulled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, 111.. Dec. 4. Word was received here to-day that proceedings would be Instituted In the courts at Chicago to annul the romantic marriage of Julius Mastbaum, of this city, and Julia Van Kirk, of Chicago. When the bride left here Wednesday it was understood that she would meet her husband In Chicago, and it was supposed that the affair would come to a happy conclusion and the young couple would live together. When she arrived at the Chicago depot she was met by Mr. Fuber and other Chicago friends. She came to the conclusion that she had made a mistake In accepting the situation. She remained with her friends in Chicago and Mr.. Mastbaum went to his parents in Philadelphia. Mr. Mastbaum's power of attorney consenting to a decree of divorce was sent to Edwin Winter, an attorney of this city, who returned it to the friends of Mis3 Van Kirk In Chicago, where it is thought a suit will soon be brought to annul the marriage. Mr. Foy at Insane. CHICAGO, Dec. 4. One of the assistant attorneys for the prosecution In the Coushlin case emphatically denied to-day the statement that Mrs. Foy is insane. Mrs. Foy ij the woman who has told a sensational story of the Cronin murder, alleged to have been gleaned from her husband, who, she claims, was one of the conspirators. In the Coughlln trial to-day the search for Jurors was continued. The defense exercised lis last peremptory challenge on Herman -Husch, a restaurant man. who lived in Chicago for three years, and who said he had never heard of the Cronin case until last Saturday. Jerry Flynn, the clerk susIended a week ago on suspicion of having tampered with the Jury list, was reinstated to-day. Flynn filed an aiiidavlt declaring his innocence of the charge against him.

EVASIVE,WEAK

Mr. Cleveland's 3Iessage Received with Disappointment. No Remedy Suggested for tho Business Depression That Still Overhangs the Whole Country. TRUE TO BRITISH FRIENDS The Message First Submitted to Lombard-Street Speculators. Its Contents Known Sunday Night, Nearly a Day in Advance of Its Publication in America. VIEWS OF CONGRESSMEN The Document Dissected by Messrs. Johnson and Waugli, And the President Severely Arraigned for His Outrageous Charge Against Pensioners. . ONE REDEEMING FEATURE Intimation that Wild Cat Banks Would Not Be Approved, Crisp Comments from Ex-SpeaKer Reed and Others Pension Part Not Acceptable to Gen. Palmer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Dec. t-Evasive, barren and weak that is the preponderance of opinion in "Washington to-night of the message which President Cleveland seit to Congress te-day. Never was there a greater disappointment in a public document. Under the almost uneiampled stress of commercial conditions It was expected that the President would make some important recommendations, would point out remedies for the financial distress, the business depression which abounds the country over, but he has failed in all objects but evasion. Wherever he has attempted to speak out he has beclouded his purposes. He has offered nothing but a homely, lifeless, impersonal and meaningless review of the past nine months of government work. It appears that the only ones who have been or will be benefited by the message are Britten speculators. The full contents of the message were in the hands of Lombard-street speculators last night, and all London took advantage of thb information upon our markets this morning. There was heavy selling on the Board of Trade in New York from London at the opening of the market this morning. No buying orders came from London, and it was not long before a cable inquiry brought the intelligence that London speculators were taking advantage of the President's message. This is not the first time British speculators have been taken Into the confidence of President Cleveland. They discounted his call for an extra session of Congress and his silver message. They have the inside Information upon all of his official acts far In advance of American citizens. MR. JOHNSON'S VIEWS. The Journal correspondent to-night called upon the Republican members of the Indiana delegation and requested their views upon the message, and below they gie them in a way most interesting to Iloosler readers. Representative Henry U. Johnson said : "An opportunity to send in a strong message has been lost. The document is a mediocre one in every respect, and will add nothing to Mr. Cleveland's reputation. It is entirely too long for the small amount of good matter which it contains. It abounds In statistics and facts taken from the reports of the various heads of departments, and which properly belong therein, but It will not at all answer as a substitute for these reports. In this particular the message cannot be said to be labor saving. The number of acres annually planted with seeds distributed by tho Agricultural Department la set forth with punctilious exactness, but one looks in vain for some reference to the proposition to repeal the ten-per-cent. tax on State bank circulation, now pending before the committee on banking and currency, and which many Democratic Representatives are determined shall be favorably reported and enacted into a law. The vast importance of the banking system to the country would have fully justified a presidential treatment of the subject. "The favorable reference to civil-service reform is almost ludicrous, in view of the character of some of the President's appointments and the notorious disregard of the civil-service law in the classified service of the government, where competent employes are being reduced and discharged upon flimsy pretexts, and simply to make way for Democrats. Xo additional light is thrown upon the Hawaiian question, but Congress and the country are graciously informed that when the experiment has been tried the result will bo communicated. In the treatment of this subject, however, it is noticeable that the President Is somewhat sensitive to the charge that he is acting without due regard to the constitutional limitations which surround the executive department in such matters. "The treatment of the pension question i3 on a par with the well-known views of Mr. Cleveland with respect to the pension list. His language, is very similar to that employed by him la a previous document relating to the question. The declaration that many names have been put upon the pension roll by means of wholesale and gigantic frauds, and that thousands v f neighborhoods have their well-known fraudulent pensioners are outrageously false, and his efforts to Justify the cruel policy of the Pension Office by citing alleged precedents when that otHce was under Republican management will deceive no one. The country fully understands the difference between the Republican and Dmocratlc construction of the pension laws and administration of the Pension Bureau, and the oil soldiers know where to locate the responsibility for their mistreatment. "The do-nothing policy seems to bo the one recommended with respect to the money question, and yet the suggestion that authority be conferral to issue bonds and the expression of indifference as to the reassembling of the International monetary conference are quite significant.. Mr. Cleveland evidently favors the single gold standard, with power to sell bonds and obtain additional gold reserve with which to maintain silver coin at a parity, yet he is lacking in aggressiveness of statement on this point and leaves something to inference. "lie commits himself squarely to the provisions of the Wilson tariff bill so far as the provlsons of this measure are made known, and contents himself with the familiar arguments that have been exploded time and again. In his anxiety to go Into grinding competition with cheap-labor nations for the 'markets of the world,' he seems to lo? sight of the fact that even thse markets have, under such competition, a limit, and that the homo market is liable to escape us. Free raw innteral alone will not enable us to share neu

tral markets with other manufacturing nations. We must have cheap labor also. The laboring men of 'this country will hardly be deceived by the presidential assurance that wages can bo maintained here under a policy that aim at ruinous- cheapness In manufacture. The Indorsement of the Wilson bill by the President, however, renders it highly probable that this measure will ultimately become a law substantially as reported by the committee on ways and means. The power of the executive to Influence legislation has just had a striking illustration in the passage of the bill for the repeal of the purchasng clause of the Sherman act at the special session of Congress." DISSECTED BY DAN WAUGII. Representative Dan Waugh, of Tipton, said: "The message was very lengthy, and but little more than a detailed statement of the, workings and condition of the several departments of the government, which could be drawn up by any experienced clerk. That portion of It relating to Hawaiian, matters was a great disappointment, it g.ve no further information than the country has already had through the public press. The treatment of the tariff subject created the only interest manifested during the reading of the message, and that was only a repetition of the views of the President heretofore expressed. On the

whole. Judging from the lack of interest and empty seats at the close of the reading of the message, it was a disappointment to a good many of our Democratic friends. As a State'papcr it falls far below the message to ' the extra session- There never was, perhaps, in the history of the country a message delivered to Congress under such peculiar circumstances. Congress had been in session three months, and the only legislation suggested by the President as being needed by the country was the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. Congress, however, did not step with ine accomplishment of that legislation but went ahead, presented and fcrmulated legislation upon almost every important public question. "The policy of the administration In every department of the government had been established and known to the country. Tl ere seamed to be but little use for a message. Tha only thing for the President to do was to indorse his own administration and the act of Congress. This he seems to have done, Gresham, "my commissioner," Hoke Smith, all. In the administration of affairs we have the strango reversal of thr natural order of things. In the executive and legislative branch of the government we have tho rule of legislation nrst and the message afterward. In tho Mate Department wo have the rule to recoynize a lepubllc and theu destroy it, in order to boost a half-civilized Queen upon a tottering throne. In the In terior Department we have the rule, hang tne old soldier ana try him afterwards. Yet, I presume in the work of destruction you may have rules and order the same as in any other business. "The President indorses the Hoke Smith raid upon the soldiers. This will not please some Northern Democrats, who want their votes to return them to Congress. It is rumored that a few Democrats threaten to commence a light upon the administration policy of dropping pensioners from the roll without notice or hearing. Why didn't they commence the fight sooner? The Hoke Smith rebellion has been going on for eight months. Why have they waited until more than fifteen thousand soldiers have been suspended from the roll as frauds and suspects? Why have they waited until they heard the wavering voice from Ohio, New York and other States in November last. This threatened fight will fool no one. It will be a fight by agreement only, a plav for votes, and to be kept before the public until the next general election. These same men who now feign friendship for the soldier would vote for Cleveland or Hoke Smith if nominated for President in IS'rf. This administration war on the old soldier has made him an Issue In politics again. The Republican party, which has always leen his friend, should gladly accept the Issue. It has never lost a battle since the war while fighting his cause, but failed .and lost when his name and achievements were mentioned In campaigns only In a whisper for fear of offending some helf-hearted patriot. The great soldier family constitute one-third the voting population of the country, and are Interested In his being protected under the law. as much as pig iron and- wool, and will be a source of great strength to us in 18!U and 1. if not whispered to death. I like the manly course of the Journal; it's not afraid to speak out." HATCH OI OPIMOXS. IInv Senntor nnil Hepreentnllve View lire Irenllntir Document. WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-It is not often that the public awaits a President's message with the intensity which has been manifested In the document to-day sent to Congress. The message was listened to with close attention In both houses and the views of members on the document ara pertinent and Interesting Just at this time. Ex-Speaker Reed said: "I dislike to comment on the message, because it would not be seemly to do It in adequate terms. It is exceedingly disappointing both In matter and manner. It Is largely made up of a wearisome resume of the reports of his secretaries, which they have hardly Improved by condensation. On the Hawaiian question we are left as much in the dark as ever, and must wait the news of the next steamer just as we have been waiting so long. That part of the message which relates to the tariff Is most surprising. It asseverates that the House committee in chargo of that subject has i formulated plans and devised methods of taxation which, as a member of the committee, I have not even heard proposed. It is a rather unusual sensation to learn of the deeds -of the committee, not Ih the committee room, but from the President of the United States. Has that committee ceased even In form to be composed of both parties, and has it, without even the formality of a word In open committee, Informed the President of its determination in such way that the President can officially communicate it to the House? How Ions has it been part of our system that the comriUtee of an 'Independent branch, and, alove all, the committee which control the purse shall report to Congress through the President? Is It the result of rumored blending of the appointive with the legislative power? It is bad enough to have a tariff bill made up by. a little coterie Political bill as Mr. Wilson calls it but to have it communicated to the President before It reaches even the committee and still less the House, shows a determination to bo moved by no facts and modified by no arguments, and makes apparent the absurdity of apiointing Republicans on ways and means at all." Mr. Springer, chairman of the last committee on ways and means and of the banking and currency committee of the present Congress, said: "In reference to the tariff the mes.sage Is clear and forcible. In this the message will receive the cordial commendation of everj" Democrat in the land, and of many ethers who realize that our present protective svstem is injurious to the best interests of the people. In reference to the currency the President very hopefully anticipates that a survey of the situation, after public confidence Is restored, will lead to a permanently sound currency. This view of the subject excludes definitely and forever the policy of a return to the alluring and temporary expedient of State banks of issue. The President is evidently opposed to the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on the circulation of 'State banks. In reference to Hawaii the President takes the only course which Is consistent with international honor and comity." Mr. Holman said: "It is an able and forcible document. The earnest expectations of economy contrasts strongly with mes-sues heretofore presented." Mr. McCreary, chairman of the foreign affairs committee: "It Is an able and appropriate document. It furnishes much valuable Information. He presents our foreign affairs, monetary matters and the tariff with great ability, and I think his recommendations ar generally good." Mr. Oat en said: "I listened attentively. It abounds in details and Is full of Information about the departments, but makes few recommcndatlos." LACKS CLEAR 'EXPRESSION. Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa: "The message Is, in most respects, formal. In the matters of public Interest that are in dispute the message lacks any satisfactory expression. In respect to Hawaii the President conceals from Congresn all Information that Is important, and seems to know really less about the situation than Is known to the general public As to silver the President lacks the courage to state his views and commits the whole subject to the policy of delay. On the question of Issuing bonds to maintain our currency and to meet the deficit of insufficient revenues the President's language is wanting in dellniteness, and makes no pretc-nse of a leadership of public opinion. He seems to have exhausted hla power of leadership In

the midsummer attack on the interests of silver. The President's views on the tariff are well known, and his ardent support of the proposed Wilson bill surprises nobody." Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee: "The President's message is all right. He Is especially right on the tariff." Mr. Cobb, of Missouri: "I am heartily in accord with, the message and its conclusions.' " Mr. Tracey: "I am satisfied with it It is a good message." Mr. Gear, of I6wa, a member of the committee on way and means: "The President says that he will restore Liliuokalani. gives the majority of the ways and means committee away on the Income tax, and agree9 with Hancock that the tarjff is a Jocal Issue, and asks the people not to kick." Mr. Uynum, a memb'V of the ways and means committee: "It x u very concise but clear statement of the multitude of questions Congress will be called upon to consider. The principal views presented meet my unqualified approval. I am especially pleased with the tariff question and the rouracriNvtia manner the President came to

the support cf the committee, as tariff reform could not be accompnsneu. wiinoui the support of the administration." Mr. Fickler: "The assertion of the President that there are great and gigantic frauds In connection with the pension rolls and large numbers of fraudulent pensioners upon the rolls is wholly unsubstantiated by facts." t . Mr. Caldwell: "The President indicates that every pensioner received his pension by fraud, and defends his action in suspending pensions without giving the old soldiers a hearing by asserting it is the French method. He still maintains his unAmerican policy regarding the restoration of Qu-en Liliuokalani.- His recommendations of an income tax upon corporations will not only decrease the wages of the workingmen. but Increase the cost of the product to the consumer." "GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN." Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, said: "-The gen eral tone of the message Is quite characteristic of the President. A large part of the message is flat, stale and unprofitable, being simply an unnecessary elaboration of the facts presented in ' the reports from various departments of the government. He vouchsafes to the people no Information regarding the Hawaiian situation .more than we heretofore had through the public press. He confirms, however, the rumor that he is thoroughly committed to the overthrow of the present provisional gov ernment and the restoration of the Queen Hereafter the slogan of Democracy snoultl be 'God save our Queen.' The message op the. silver question is vague and uncertain. It commits the administration fully to the indorsement and approval of the Wilson bill, one of the 'worst bills in the way of tariff legislation, in my Judgment, vrhlch has ever been presented to the consideration of the House of Representatives." Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, said: "It seems to me the message is not satisfactory to either the frelnds or opixments of the administration. It gives an Imperfect abstract of the departmental rerorts. The country was expecting definite information touching our relations with Hawaii. Specific information as to what the President Is doing and will do is withheld. The President recommends amendatory legislation touching the issuance of government bonds. He does not 'siiy for what purpose. His indorsement of the tariff bill not passed by the committee or reported to the Hoise Is unusual l mL.y say unprecedented. The message will not tend In any respect to restore confidence to the producing and commercial interests of the country." Representative C'aruth: "The message is, of 'course, a stronge paper. It could not be otherwise and come from G rover Cleveland. It is wise, patriotic and Democratic." Mr. Poutelle: "It is the first executive document which directly impugned and charged malfeasance - In ofiloe and practically treason upon a United States minister, against whom nothing was charged by the administration up to the time his resignation was accepted. The people of London may be aware cf the-policy which the ruler of the United States pursues and his authority for making war, tearing, down and putting up government, but we are not." Air. Payne, a member of the ways and means committee: "The message its a remarkably disappointing document. It is mainly devoted to a resume of the reports of the several departments, to which the President seldom adds an opinion of his own. 'On important matters it gives little informatior On Hawaii affairs it gives us no Information. His announcement of the internal revenue feature of the plans of the ways and means committee is astounding. This Is the first Information the minority members have had that any conclusion has been reached. If reports are correct the Ieople of Londo.-. were informed on this imIortant matter much earlier than members of the committed. The question now(seems to be whether all legis-'Utlon must originate at the White House." "SILENT AS THE GRAVE." Mr. Dingley: "The message is voluminous in Its resume of the details of the work of the several departments, and wearisome in Its recapitulation of the smaller Incidents of the questions which have arisen in our foreign affairs, but on the one great foreign question which Congress as well as the country ought to know the.exact situation, to-wit: our relations with Hawaii, the message is as silent as the grave, beyond a repetition of the announcement made by Secretary Gresham. Instead of some recommendation on the currency question, we have simply 'delay' suggested as to silver .and silence as to the plan to restore the State banking system and to provide for currency wants in the future." Mr. Dalzell, a member of the ways and means committee: "The President says that after full discussion our countrymen have spoken in favor of tariff reform, and have confided the work of the accomplishment to the hands of those who1 are solemnly pledged to it. I infer that by the latter expression the President means the majority of the ways and means committee, and by 'tariff reform the proposed mongred bill given to the press a week ago. It would seem' that the President has not yet heard the news from Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa. When he refers to the reduction of tartff charges on the necessaries of life I suppose he has reference to champagne and brandy. The fact that the President rcasserts the time worn and so often and, under the operations of the McKlnley law, so emphatically disproven assertion that a' protective tariff Increases the cost of goods to the consumer, shows what a hide-bound theorist the President is. and how facts weigh nothing with a tariff reformer. On the whole, he must be a most devoted admirer of the- President who can find in the message any strengthening of the Democratic iositlon on the tariff question." Mr. Hepburn said: "The mes.sage Is a business paper, devoted mainly to the business of condensing the statements and recommendations of the Secretaries. Necessarily, it is tedious and dreary. The discussion of the Hawaiian policy is disappointing. He favors tarhf reform, but whether it Is tariff reform of the variety of 1SSS or 1S92 is left in doubt. I do not think the message will add to the President's fame or harmonize the contentions in his party." Senator Voorhees: "In the main the message is a sound, strong document. I have not examined it critically ' and cannot go into details. I think It will be well received by the country." Senator McPherson: "It Is excellent all the way through. 1 was especially pleased with the recommendations In regard to the general finances and the tariff, and as to the principles involved in the tariff bill." Senator Murphy: "It Is a good message." Senator Kyle: "There was nothing striking in the message, though it contained some good points. I was pleased with hi3 recommendations for an income tax, but what he said about Hawaii and his recommendations concerning the issuance of bonds were not to my liking." Senator Morrill: "The President's indorsement of a tariff bill not yet agreed upon In committee was very unexpected and remarkable." Senator Hlor: "It was a most remarkable message In several respects. It treats the Important questions affecting the welfare of the country feebly and briefly. The imputation of the President concerning civil-service reform, to the effect that the law was enacted because of fear of public opin ion, and not because of the conviction of the legislators who enacted It, is without precedent. This reflection comes with an ill grace from a Presldr- ho 'has dealt, as the existing Presiden- .ias den It, with the consular service of the United States without even taking advice of his Secretary of State, and whose apjointment of Van Alen has been such an offense to the country's sense of decency. The message Is further remarkable In stating the report of a committee of one house, namely, the ways and means committee of the House, before the committee has determined upon it, and before some of its mem(font In tied on Sixth Page.) Gov. CitmlmckH New Hook. Professor Rldpath says: "Colonel Cumbaek has walked abroad wdth the proud step of a fearless and Invulnerable spirit. His manners and disposition have won uim the affectionate regard of his fellowmen, at " the same time that hl3 abilities as a writer and speaker have commanded their respect and admiration."

HAWAIIAN REPUBLIC DOOMED Minister Willis Was Instructed to Restore Liliuokalani, And When That Result Is Accomplished tho President Will Send Another Message to Congress. THE TARIFF BILL INDORSED Mr. Cleveland Thinks It a Con sistent and Thorough Measure, And Says Additional Internal Revenue Burdens, Including" an Income Tax, Have Been Decided On. CIVIL SERVICE LAW UPHELD And Hungry Spoilsmen and Ardent Reformers Slapped. Deficits Duo to Business RepressionRetrenchment and Postponement of Financial Legislation Urged. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Thc President's message, was submitted to Congress at 1:35 o'clock this afternoon. It follows: To the Congress of the United States: The constitutional duty which requires the President from time to time to fcdve to the Congress information of the stateof the Union and recommend to its considera tion such measures as he shall judge neces sary and expedient. Is fittingly entered upon by commending to the Congress a careful examination of the detailed statements find all supported recommendations contained in the reports of the heads of d?partments who ore chiefly charged with the executive work of the government. In an effort to abridge this communication as much as 13 consistent with its purpose, I shall supplement a brief reference to the contents of those departmental reports by the mention of such executive business and incidents as are embraced therein, and by such recommendations as appear to be at this par ticular time appropriate. "WILLIS'S INSTRUCTION'S. Onr Hawnllnn MlnfMcr Warn Ordered to IleNtore Queen Lllluoknltanl. While our foreign , relations have not at all times during the past year been entirely free from perplexity, no embarrassing situatlon remains that will not yield to the spirit of fairness and love of Justice, which. joined with consistent firmness, character ize a truly American foreign policy. It is hardly necessary for me to state that the questions arising from our rela tions with Hawaii have caused serious em barrassment. Just prior to the installation of the present administration the existing government of Hawaii had been suddenly overthrown and a treaty of annexation had been negotiated between the provisional government of the islands and the United States and submitted to the Senate for ratification. Th!s treaty I withdrew for exam ination and dispatched Hon. James II. Ulount, of Georgia, to Honolulu as a spe cial commissioner, to make an Impartial Investigation of the circumstances attend ing the change of government, and of all the conditions bearing upon the subject of the treaty. After a thorough and ex haustive examination Mr. Illount submitted to me his report, showing beyond all ques tion that the constitutional government of Hawaii had been subverted with the active aid of our representative to that govern ment and through the intimidation caused by the presence of an armed naval force of the United States, which was landed for that purpose at the Instance of our min ister. Upon the facts developed it seemed to mo the only honorable course for our government to pursue was to undo the wrong that had been done by those repre senting us, and to restore a3 far as prac ticable the status existing at the time of our forcible Intervention. With a view of accomplishing this result within the consti tutional limits of executive power, and rec ognizing all our obligations and responsi bilities growing out of any change of condi tions brought about by our unjustiilable interference, our present minister at Honolulu has receive I appropriate instructions to that end. Thus far no information of tho accomplishment of any definite result has been received from him. Additional adVices are soon expected. When received they will be promptly sent to the Congress, together with all other information at hand, accompanied by a special executive message fulljj detailing all the facts necessury to a complete understanding of the case, and presenting a history of all the material events leading up to the present situation.

My predecessor having accepted the olTico of arbitrator of the long-standing missions boundary disputes, tendered to the In dent by the Argentine Republic and Krazll, it has been my agreeable duty to receive the special envoys commissioned by those states to lay before me evidence and arguments in behalf of their respective governments. The outbreak of domestic hostilities la the republic of Brazil found the L r.it -d States alert to watch the inter tit of our citizens in that country, with which v. e carry on Important commerce.

Tho legislation of last year, known as th Geary law, requiring the registration cf all Chinee laborers entitled to residence la the United States and the dei-crtatioa of all not complying with the provisions of the act within the time prescribed, met with much opposition from.

It being the plain duty of this govornmtnt to ail in suppressing the nefarious tram? impairing, as it does, the praiseworthy and civilizing efforts now in progress in that region.
