The recent outbreak In Wyoming Territory, where numbers of tin -offending Chinamen, Indisputably within the protection of the treaties aad the law, were murdered by a wob, and the stm more

threatened outoreaa: oc ih same

naturalization by Germany during the past year has attracted attention, by reason ot aa apparent tendency on the part ot the Imperial Gorernmsnt to extend the score of the residential restrictions to which returning natarallied dtisens ot Germany asserted to be liable under the law of the Kmaire. The temperate and lust attitude taken by this Gonernment with regard to this class of questions will doubtless lead to a satisfactory understanding. THK CABOUKK ISLANDS DISPITTK. The dispute ot Germany and Spain relative to the domination ot the Caroline Islands baa attracted the attention ot this Government by reason ot extensive interest of American eltixent having growu up In those parts during the past thirty years, and because tbe question ot ownership Involves Jurisdiction of matters affecting the status of our owa citizens tinder civil and criminal law. Whllut standing wholly aleof from the proprietary Issues raised between powers to both of which the United States are rlemtly, this Government expees that nothing In the present contention shall unfavorably affect our oltlxeas carrying on business there, and has so la formed the Governments et Spain and Germany. rtsHnts in bkitish-ambkica watbbs.

The marked good-will between the Ualted States and Great ltritaln has been maintained during the past year. The termination of the Hefting clause ot the treaty ot Washington, In pursuance of the Joint resolution of March S, 1W. must have resulted In the abrupt cessation on tbe fourth of July ot this year. In the midst of their ventures, ot Mm operations of citizens of the United States engaged In fishing In British-American waters, but for a diplomatic understandine reached with Her Majesty's Government In June last, where ! u.vruiw was obtained that no In

terruption of these operations should take pl3 during the current fishing season. In the interest of good neighborhood and ot the commercial intercourse of adjacent communities the question ot the -North American ttsherles Is one of much Importance, follow, lag oat the IntlinaMon iilven by me when the extensory arrangement above, described was negotiated. I recommend that Congress provide for Mie appointment ot a commission in which the Governments ofithe United States and Great Britain shall be respective.

ly represented, cnargeu wun tne cousiurration and settlement, upon a Just, equitable and honorable basis ot the entire nutation of the flailing rights of the two Governments, and their respective cltlaeas. on the eoaat of the United States and British Xorth America The Uniting Interests being intliuately related to olher general questions dependent upon continuity and in -tercourse. consideration thereof In all their anuHlea mhrbt also properly come w.thln

the purview of such comtnls-tlon, nnd latltede of expression of both '.dee should be permitted. The correspondence In reintloa to the fishing rights will be submlUtd. MMTOnN OF THK ALHKT. The Arctic expwring Reamer Alert, which was ganeroasly given h' Her Mnjeety's Government to aldln tlie relief of the Ore ely expedition, waa, after the successful attainment ot that humaue purpose, returned to Great Britain In nursuance of the authority conferred by Mm act of March 3d, lata; EXTRADITION TKHATIUS. The ina dequacy a existing arrangements for extradition between the United states and Great Britain hat been long apparent. The tenth article of tho treaty of IHt, one of the earliest com pacts la this regard entered Into by us, stipulated for surrender In resnect ot a limited number of offenses, Other

crimes, no leas inimical to the social welfare, should be embraced, and the procedure of extradition brought Into harmony with pres. ent international practices, notations with Her Majesty's GeVerament (or an enlarged treaty of extradition have been pending since 1870, and I entertain strong hopes that a satisfactory result may be soon attained. THK ALASKA KROVTIKK. The frontier line betw een Alaska and British Columbia, i". dellned by the treaty of cession with Uusila, follows the demand tlon assigned In a prior treaty between Great ltritaln and ttuteta. Modern exploration dlaclosea that this ancient boundary Is impracticable as a georanhicat fact. In the unsettled condition of that region, the question lias lacked Importance, but the discovery ot mineral wealth In the territory the line Is supposed to traverse admonishes us that the time has come when aa accurate

knowledge of tne Boundary te aeeuiui to avert Jurisdictional complications. I recommend, thoieforo "that provision be made for a preliminary racoaaoissanee by officers of the United States to tha end of ae

quiring more precise information on the subject. I have Invited Iter Majesty's Government to consider with us the adoption of a more convenient line to be established by meridian observation or by known geographical features without the necessity of aa expensive survey of the whole. HATTf. The late Insurrectionary movements In Haytt having been quelled, the Government of that republic baa made prompt provision far adjudicating the lossca suffered by foreigners because ot hostilities there, and the olainta ot certain eltlzens of the United States WUI be In Mils manner determined The long pending claims ef the two citizens of the united States, I'elletler and Lazare. have been disposed of by arbitration, and an award In favor ot each claimant has been made, which, ay t. e terms of the engagement, is final, it remains for Ooniras to provide for Mie payment of the stipulated moiety "f the expenses. A question aroa e

with Hayti during tne nest year oy reason ot the exceptional treatment ot an American e It lien, Mr. Van Boskelen, a restdent of rort-atcrnnee. who. on stilt by creditors resldlax in the united States, was seatenetd to Imprisonment, and, under the operation of a llnyllan statute, w.is denied relief secured to a native llaytlan. ThlsGoveminent ns.Mned Ills trentv right to equal treatment with native nt Haytl In all suits at law. Our contention was denied by the Haytlan Government, which, however, wliile still professing to maintain the groand taken by Mr. Van Boskelen'a right, terminated the controversy by setting hint at liberty without explanation.
