Hats in the Azores.

A resident of Fayal, says the Revue Scientifique, complains of the abundance of rats and rabbits. The rats multiply fast, and make all sorts of depredations, not only within houses, but in the fields and gardens. They attack a great number of edible fruits, such as bananas, oranges and grapes; they infest granaries, houses and fields. Among other depredations, the rabbits have attacked a field of tea plants, and of four thousand vigorous shoots that were set out by the proprietor, they have destroyed 3,988 completely, leaving him twelve by way of consolation. The farmers are beginning to ask what they shall do. Shall they import the mongoose? The example of Jamaica makes them hesitate. And still another example in the Azores is of a kind to render them cautious in matters of acclimation. The pigs there have been allowed to run wild and live in a state' of freedom; the result is that imported partridges have almost entirely disappeared, the young having been eaten by the swine. It is thus difficult to tell what to do, and meanwhile rats and rabbits are abandoning themselves to all sorts of excesses.

Auction of the vast military establishments that weigh so heavily upon many peoples In time of peace was communicated to this Government with an earnest invitation to be represented in the conference which It Is contemplated to assemble with a view to discussing the means of accomplishing so desirable a result. His Majesty was at once Informed of the cordial sympathy of this Government with the principle Involved in big exalted proposal and of the readiness of the United States to take part in the conference. The claims of owners of American sealing vessels for seizure by Russian cruisers In Behring Sea are being pressed to a settlement. The recommendation made In my special message of April 27 last Is renewed, that appropriation be made to reimburse the master and owners 'of the Russian bark Hans for wrongful arrest of the master and detention of the vessel In February, 1896, by officers of the United States District- Coprt for the Southern District of Mississippi. Immediately upon the outbreak of the war with Spain the Swiss Government, fulfilling the high mission it has deservedly assumed ns the pntron of the International Red Cross, proposed to the United States and Spain that they should severally recognize and carry Into execution, as a modus Vivendi, during the continuation of hostilities the additional articles proposed by the International conference of Geneva, Oct. 20, 1868, extending the effects of the existing Red Cross convention of 1861 to the conduct of naval war. The Swiss proposal was promptly and cordially accepted by us and Simultaneously by Spain. The newly accredited envoy of the United States to the Ottoman Porte carries instructions looking to the disposal of matters In controversy with Turkey for a number of years. He Is especially charged to press for a just settlement of our claims for Indemnity by reason of the destruction of the property of American missionaries resident In that country during the Armenian troubles of 1805, as well ns for the recognition of older claims of equal justness. The arbitral tribunal appointed under the treaty of February, 1897, between Great Britain and Venezuela to determine the boundary line between the latter and the colony of British Guiana, is to convene at Paris during the present month. It is a source of much gratification to this Government to see the friendly resort to arbitration applied to the settlement of this controversy. Bure-ti of American Republics I have the satisfaction of being able to state that the Bureau of American Republics. created in 1890 as the organ for promoting commercial Intercourse and fraternal relations among the countries of the Western Hemisphere, has become a more efficient Instrument of the wise purposes of its founders, and Is receiving the cordial support of the contributing members of the International union which are actually represented In its board of management. During the last year the important work of collecting information of practical benefit to American Industries and trade through the agency of the diplomatic and consular officers has been steadily advanced, and in order to lay such data before the public with the least delay the practice was begun In January, 1898, of Issuing the commercial reports from day to day, ns they are received by the Department of State. We desire, in common with most civilized nations, to reduce to the lowest possible point the damage sustained in time of war by peaceable trade and commerce. This purpose can probably be best accomplished by an International agreement to regard all private property at se.a as exempt from capture or destruction by the forces of belligerent powers.

Condition of the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury reports that tlie receipts of the Government from all sources during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, including $84,751,223 received from sale of Pacific railroads, amounted to $405,321,333, and its expenditures to $443,368,582. There was collected from customs $140,575,002 and from Internal revenue $170,900,041. Our dutiable Imports amounted to $324,735,470, a decrease of $58,156,600 over the preceding year, and Importations free of duty amounted to $291,414,175, a decrease from the preceding year of $90,524,008. Internal revenue receipts exceeded those of the preceding year by $24,212,068. The total collected on distilled spirits was $02,546,999, on manufactured tobacco $36,230,522 and on fermented Uquors $30,515,421. We exported merchandise during the year amounting to $1,231,482,330, an increase of $180,488,774 over the preceding year. On the Ist of December, 1808, the amount of money of all kinds In circulation or not included In trensury holdings, was $1,836,879,504, an increase for the year of $165,794,066. Estimating our population at 75,191,000 at the time mentioned the per capita circulation was $25.09. The provisions made for strengthening the resources of the treasury in connection with the war have given Increased confidence In the purpose and power of the Government to maintain the present standard, and has established more firmly than ever the national credit at hbme and abroad. A marked evidence of this Is found in the Inflow of gold to the treasury. I renew so much of my recommendation of December, 18J7, as.follows: “That when any of the United States notes are presented for redemption in gold and are redeemed In gold, such notes shall be kept and set npart and only paid out in exchange for gold. This is an obvious duty. If the holder of the United States note prefers the gold uiul gets It from the Government. he should not receive back from the Government a United States note without paying gold In exchange fur it. The reason for this is made all the more apparent when the Government issues an Interest-bearing dwbt to provide gold for the redemption of United States notes a non-interest-bearing duht. Surely It should not pay them out again except on demand and for gold. If they aro put out lu any other way they may return again, to be followed by another bond Issue to redeem them—another Interest bear lug dobt to redeem a non Interest-bearing debt” In my Judgment the present condition of the treasury amply Justifies the Immediate enacLmeut of the legislation recommended otvo yoar ago, under which a portion of the fold tvoldXngs should be placed In a trust ulul from which greenbacks should be redweuifd upon presentation, but when once red coined should not thereafter be paid out except for gold. It Is not to lie Inferred that other legislation relating to our currency is not required; on the contrary, thorn Is an obvious demand for It. The Importance of adequate provision which will Insure to our future u money standard related as our money standard now and to that of our couiinerclal rlvuls Is generally recognized. The companion proposition that our domestic paper currency Him 11 be kept safe aud yet be so related to the nevtU of our Industries and internal commerce as to be adequate ui\d responsive to such Hotels Is a proposition scarcely less Important. Prompt Adoption of Maritime Policy. The annexation of Iluwiil! ami the changed relations of tho United States to Cuba, l'orti* Itlco aoid the Philippines, re suiting from the war, compel the prompt udopuuu of a nutrltbne policy by the United Hiatus. There should be established regu lar aud frequent steamship communication, encouraged by the United States, under the American flag, with the newly acquired islands. Proventlon of Yellow Fever. In my last annual message I recommended that (ingress authorize the appolpt incut of a commission for the purp se of making systematic Investigations with reference to the cause ami prevention of yellow fever. Ii Is my earnest desire that these problems may be Coiutldor<sl by competent experts , and that everything may be done which the' most recent advances In sanitary science cun offer for the protection of the health of our soldiers In Cuba and Porto Rico slid of our citizens who ure exposed to the dangers of Infection from the Importation of yellow fever. Increase of Army Recommended. The Importation of legislation for the |>ormunoqt Increase of the army Is manifest, and tho recommendation of the Secretary of War for that purpose has my unqtiHllilotl approval. There can be no question that at tills time and probably for some time in the future 100,000 men wllDbe none too many to meet the necessities of the situation. It is my purpose to muster out the entire volunteer army us soon ns the Congress ahull provide for the Increase of the regular establishment.

In my last annual message I stated: “The Union Pacific Hailway, main line, was sold umler the decree of the United States Court for the District of Nebraska the Ist and 2d of November of this year. The amount due the Government consisted of the principal of the subsidy bonds, $27,236,512, and the accrued interest thereon, $31,211,511.07, “making the total Indebtedness $58,448,223.75. The bid at the sale covered the first mortgage lieu and the entire mortgage claim of the Government, principal and interest." This left the Kansas Pacific case unconcluded. By a decree of the court' In that case an upset price for the property was fixed at a sum which would yield to the Government only $2,530,000 upon its Hen. By a'somewhat complicated transaction the Government secured an advance of $3,803,000 over and above the sum which the court had fixed as the upset price, and which the reorganization committee had declared was the maximum which they would pay for the property. Department of Justi.ce Building. I deem It my duty to call to the attention of Congress the condition of the present buildings occupied by the Department of Justice. The building noW occupied by It Is pronounced unsafe and unsuited for the use to which it is put. A proper regard for the safety, comfort and convenience of the officers and employes would justify the expenditure of u liberal sum of money In the erection of a new building. In this connection 1 may likewise refer to the Inadequate accommodations provided for the Supreme Court iu the Capitol. , Growth of the Postul Service. The postal service of the country advances With extraordinary growth. Within twenty years both the revenues and the expenditures of the Postoffice Department have multiplied threefold. In the last ten years they have nearly doubled. Our postal business grows much more rapidly than our population. It now involves an expenditure of $100,000,000 a year, numbers 73,000 postoffices. and enrolls 200,000 employes. The war with Spain laid new and exceptional labors on the I’ostotllce Department. The mustering of the military and naval forces of the United States required special mall arrangements for every camp and every campaign. This necessarily was met by the prompt detail and dispatch of experienced men from the established force, and by directing nil the Instrumentalities of the railway mail and postoffice service so far as necessary to this new need. Under the same authority, when our forces moved upo'u Cuba, Porto Ktco aud the Philippines, they were attended nud followed by the postal service.

Increasing the Navy. The following recommendations of the Secretary of the Navy relative to the Increase of the navy have my earnest approval: 1. Three sea going, sheathed and coppered battleships of about 13,500 tons trial displacement, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of their class, and to have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action. Estimated cost, exclusive of armor and armament, $3,600,000 each. 2. Three sheathed and coppered armored cruisers of about 12,000 tons trial displacement, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of their class, aud to have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action. Estimated cost, exclusive or armor aud armament, $4,000,000 each. 3. Three sheathed and coppered protected cruisers of about 6,000 tons trial displacement; to have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action, nud to carry the most powerful ordnance suitable for vessels of their class. Estimated cost. sxcluslve of armor and armament, $2,150,000 each. 4. Six sheathed and coppered cruisers of about 2,5(H) tons trial displacement: to have the highest speed compatible with good erlusing qualities, great radius of action and to carry the most powerful ordnance suited to vessels of their class. Estimated cost, exclusive of armament, $1,141,000 each. Additions to the Pension List. There were on the pension rolls June 30, 1808, 093,714 names, an Increase of nearly 18,000 over the number on the rolls the same day of the preceding year. The amount appropriated by (he act of Doc. 22, 1806, for the payment of pensions for the fiscal year 1808 was $140,000,000. Eight million seventy thousand eight hundred and seventytwo dollars aud forty-six cents was appropriated by Hie act of March 31, 1898, to cover deficiencies -in army pensions and repayments in the sum of $12,020.33, making a total of $148,082 802.70 available for the payment of pensions during the fiscal year 1808. The amount disbursed from that sum was $144,651,870.80, leaving a balance of $3,431,012.00 unexpended June 30, 1808, which was covered into the treasury. The total receipts of the patent office during the Inst year were $1,253,048.44. The expenditures were $1,081,633.70, leaving a surplus of $172,314.65.

Government LamU Disposed Of. The public binds disposed of by the Government during the year reached 8,45:1,8110.92 acres, aw Increase of *514,780.20 acres over the previous year. The total receipts from public lands during the fiscal year amounted to $2.277,000. 18. an Increase of $100,008.90 over the preceding year. The special attention of the Congress Is culled to that part of the report of the Secretary of the Interior In relation to the 11 vp civilized tribes. It Is noteworthy that the general condition of the Indians shows marked progress. Hut one outbreak of a serious character occurred during the year, and that among the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, which happily has been suppressed. Dawes Commiuiioii Ucport, While It has not yet Been practicable to enforce all the provisions of the act of June 28. DOS, “for the protection of the people of the Indian Territory aud for other purposes.” It Is having a salutary effect upon the nations composing the tlve tribes. I cannot too strongly Indorse the recommendation of the commission and of the Secretary of the Interior for the necessity of providing for the education of the 30,000 white children resident In tlie Indian Territory. Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture has been active In the last year. Kxplorers have been sent to many of the countries of the Eastern anil Western Hemispheres for seeds and plants that may lie useful to the United States and with the further view of opening up markets for our surplus products. The forestry division of the department Is giving speclul attention to the treeless regions of our country and Is Introducing species specially adapted to semi arid regions. Forest tires, which seriously Interfere with production, especially In Irrigated regions, are being studied that the losses from this cause may be avoided. The department Is ImpilrIng Into tin* use anil abuse of water lit many Stales of the West and collecting Information regarding the laws of the States, the decisions of the cyurts and the customs of the people In this regard, s'o that uniformity may lie secured. Experiment stations are becoming more effectin' every year. The annual appropriation of s72*Umi*i by Congress IN supplemented by 1400,000 front the States. Nation wide experiments have been conducted to ascertain the suitableness as to soil aud climate and Stales for growing sugar l*ee!s. The number of sugar factories lias been doubled In the Inst two years aud the ability of the Fulled States to produce Its own sugar from this source has been clearly demonstrated.

W a ailing ion Centennial. In the year lots* will occur the centennial anniversary of tit • founding of the city of Washing mil for th • | crmaiietit capital of the Government of the I tilled States. A movement lately Inaugurated by the citizens to have the a universal ,v celebrated with Hi ting ceremonies. Including, perhaps, the establishment of a handsome permanent memorial to mark so historical an occasion and to give It more than local recognition, hus met with general favor oil the part of the public. I recommend to the Congress the granting of an appropriation for this purpose mol the appointment of u commit tee from Its respective bodies. The alien contract law Is shown by ex perlence to ueed some amendment; a measure providing better protection for seamen Is proposed; the rightful application of the eight hour law for the benefit of labor and of the principle of arbitration are suggested for consideration, and I commend these subjects to the careful attention of the Congress.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

bv .local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused' by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When tills tube gets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten aro caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

A Sagacious Horse.

Some amusement has been caused bj* a story about a horse belonging to a contractor. It appears that a short time ago it slipped on the roadway and fell into a bin or pit that was just alongside. The animal suffered no apparent injury, but could not be induced to make any effort with a view to escaping from its narrow prison. At last It xvas determined that mechanical means of rescue must be brought into play, so a derrick was sent for. and with som® difficulty set up over the hole, slinging gear being provided to hoist the victim. Just as all was ready and operations were about to begin, the dinner bell rang. Dobbin pricked up his ears, gave himself a shake, put his fore feet on the edge of the bin, and was out of it in the twinkling of an eye. Then he shambled off quietly to his stable In time for Ills midday feed.
