Prominent among the question* of the year t was the Biorßelds incident in what i.« known M the McaapHto Ivlina strip bordering on the < Atlantic ocean and within the Jurisdiction of < Xlcaragua By the treaty of IMP between < Qml Britain and Nicaragua th* former gov- (

ernment expressly recognlted the sovereignty of the latter over the strip, and a lltnfted form of self-government was guaranteed Id the Mosquito Indians, to oe exereissd according to their customs, for themselves and other dwellers withi* Ilk limits. The so-calledna-tlve gorrfftment. which grew to be largely tnade up; of aliens, for msny years disputed the sovereignty t>P Nlcaragna over the strip and claimed the right to maintain therein a practically independent municipal Early in the past year efforts of Ntearagn* tb maintain .sovereignty over the. Mosquito territory led to serious disturbances, culminating in the suppression of the native government and the attempted substitution of an impi-nctjlceble composite administration, in which Nicaragua and alien residents were to participate, failure was followed ..by an tnsurrectlonfwhich for a time obstructed Nicaraguan rule, expelling her officers and restoring the old organization. This In turn gave place to the existing local governmetjt establishing and upheld by Nicaragua. ! Threatened IHaturbance* In Peru. Peru.

More Battleships Nee.led. The secretary presents with much earnest- : uess a plea for the authori-ation of three additional battleships and ten or twelve torp do boat*. Wh.io the uaarmored vessels heretofore authonreedt includin'.' those now nearing vompletioa wi if constitute a fleet, which it is believed is sufficient for ordinary cruising purposes in im* of peace, we have now conjpletcd and in process of construction but four firslcl ms battleship* and but few torpedo boots. Ts wear* to have a navy for warlike operation*. offensive and defensive, we certainly j ought to lucre*** both the number of batUq- ■ end torpedo bsmkk •

The manufacture of armor require* expensive plant and the aggregation of many -killed workmen. AU the armor necessary to comp cte the vessels now building will be delivered before the Ist of June next If no new contracts are given oat contrac'ors must disband.their workmen and their plants u»ust lie idle. Battleships authorized at this time would not be well under way until late in the coming fiscal year, and at least three years and a half from the date of the contract would be required for their completion. The secretary states that not more than 15 per cent, of the cost of -uch ships need be included in the appropriation for. the coming year. I recommend that pro.islon be ma c for the construction of ■ additional battlediips and torpedo boats. The secretary recommends the manufacture not only of a reserve supply of ordnance and ordnance material for ships of the navy, but also a supply for the auxiliary fleet. Gunsand their appurtenances should be provided ;and kept on hand for both these purposes. We have not to-day a single gun that could be put upon the ships Paris or New York of .the International «Navigayon company dr any other ship of our reserve navy. The manufacture of Snsat the Washington navy yard is proccedt satisfactorily, and none of opr new ships will be required to wait for their guns or ordnance equipment , i, Transfer of Coast Survey. Both the secretary of the navy and the secretary of lhe treasury recommend the transfer of the work of the coast survey prope.- to the naw department. I heartily concur In this; recommendation. Excluding Alaska and a very small area tiesides, all the work of mapping and charting our coast has been .com'-, pleted. The hydrographic work - which must be done over and over again by re son of the shifting and varying depths of water consequent Upon the action- of streams sa l tides, has heretofore been done under the direction: .*! of naval officers to subordipatton to the, supcr-toten-lent of the coast survey. ,There seems to be no good reason why toe navi' should not- have ■ ent re charge hereafter of such work, especially as the hydr, graphic office of th * navy depart- ’ Bienk is no.w. an J has been for manv year- engaged !:i making efficient maps entirely similar to those prepired by the.ciiastfS’irvi y. Civil Service In tile Navy. The *ys»gm adopted a few years ago regulat-ling-the employment of labor.at the navy i yard* is rigidiy upheld a:, t has fti’ly dem >nT'fifrazed its usefulness and expedien y. It is within the d knaln of civ:! s* rvi.- > r< f.-rfti Inasmuch as workmen are employed .through a board of labor selected at each navy yard and are given work without reference to politics i and in the -order of the!** application preference. however, being given t > army and navy veteran* and th' -se having former navy ■experience.’ Amendments sug-.-este,! by ex-, perience have been made to the r i es reg slatting the system ,Tirr> <; ;h itsb.peration iho i work.at our naty yard* ha* been va*tlv improved in efficiency and the • ppoitun.ty to I work hag.been honestly an l fairly t 6» willing agitl competent that if thia system continues, to; l-.* strictly adhered to there will soon be a* a natural consequence such an equalization ff'f party .bepel’t* as will remove ; all temptation t<? relax orabandon it .

of Indian and other nars prior to the late civil war. and the widows and relatives of such soldiers. The remainder, numbering 937,505. are receiving pensions on account of the war of the rebellion, and of these 469.341 are on the rolls under the authoritv of the act of June 27„ 1890. sometimes called the dependent pension law. The total amount expended for pensions during the year was $139.801.451.05. leaving an unexpended balance from the sum appropriated of Si >.205.71,’ 65. The sum necessary to meet pension expenditures forthe vear ending June 3J, 1898. is estimated at JIW.OOO OQO. Pension Frauds. The barefaced and extensive pension frauds exposed under the direction of the courageous and generous veteran soldier now at the head of the bureau leaves no room for the claim that no purgation of our pension roils was needed or that continued vigilance and prompt action are not necessary to the same end. The accusation that an effort to detect pension fraudsis evidence of. unfriend iness towards our worthy veterans, atid a denial of their . claims to the generosity, of the government, suggests au unfortunate indifferenceto the commission of any offense which has for its motive the securing of a pension and indicates a willingness to be blind to the existence of mean and treacherous crimes which play upon demagogic fears an I make sport of the patriotic impulse of a grateful people. Eleventh Census. The completion of the eleventh census is now u In charge of the commissioner of labor. 'l'he ■ totdl disbursements on account of the work for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1894. amounted to 810 3A5.676.81. At the close of the year the number of persons employed in the census office was 679. At pres at there are t I about.4o . The whole number of volumes nee* ■ ess try to cofnprehend the eleventh census will ! be twenty-ttve. and they win contain 22.278 j printed pages.. The assurance is confidently ■ made tha’ before th? cl se of the present cal- . en iar’year the m iterial still incomplete will J be pra rueally i.ihadd. and the census can certainly be closed by the 4th of March. 1895 After ■to it the revision and proof-re.tditig necessary to bring out the volumes will still be required. .T h- text of the census volumes h s been lim- | ' Ited. as far as posstb.by to the ana'wsis of star I ■ ■ ■ ■ ■■■■■■- 1.

increasing appreciation by our people of these ' advantages. i To Protect Public Health. I am entirely convinced that we ought not to 6e longer without a national of health or national health officer charged’ with no other | duties than such as pertain to the. protection ; of our country from the invasion of pestilence and disease. This would involve the estab- , lishment. by such board or officer, of proper quarantine precautions. Or the necessary aid and counsel to local authorities on the subject, prompt advice and assistance to locate boards of health or health officers in the suppression of contagious disease, and in eases where there are no such local boards or officers the immediate direction by the national board or officer of measures of suppression, constant and authentic information concerning the health of foreign countries and all parts of our own country as. related to contagious diseases, and Consideration of regulations to be enforced in foreign ports to prevent the introduction of contagion into our citie* and the measures which should be adopted to secure their enforcement. , • ■ The Labor Inquiry. By virtue of a statute of the United States passed in 1888.1 appointed, in July last. Hon. John 1). Kernan, of the state of New York, and Hon. Nicholas E. Worthington, of the st ate of Illinois to form with Hon. Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of labor, who was designated by said statute, a commission for th®*purpose of making careful inquiry into the causevof th® controversies between certain rairoads and their employes which had resulted in an extensive and destructive strike, accompanied by much violence and dangerous disturbance with considerable loss -of life and great de- [ struction of property. The reportwf the commissioners has been submitted to ’me and will ; be transmitted to the congress wish’the evi- , dence taken up on their Investigation, Their work has been well done, ami their standing and intelligence give assurance that the report and suggestions they make are worthy of cartful consideration. Favors tree Coal and Iron. The tariff act passed pt the last session of the congress needs important amendments if it is to be executed effectively and with certainty.' In addition to such necessary amendments as will not change rates of duty. I am still very decidedly in favor of putting coal-and | iron upon the free list. 1 The. Sugar .Schedule. So far as the sugar schedule is concerned. I would tie glad, under existing aggravations, to see every particle of differential duty tn favor < f refined sugar stricken out of our tariff law. ( It. with all the favor now I accorded the sugar re tin ng interests in | our tariff laws, it still languishes to the extent | of closing refineries, and thousands of discharged workmen. It would seem to present a hopeless Case for reasonable legislative ai l. '. Wha'cve'rs-lse is done or omitted. 1 earnestly repeat here the recommendation I have made In .tnother portion of this communication, th it the additional duty of 1-10 of 1 pent per pound laid t pon sugar imported from countries p?yI ing a bounty on its export be abrogated. It seems to-be that exceedingly important considerations point to the, propriety of this amendment. An ArguHfent for Free Ships. With the advent of a new tariff policy not only calculate l to relieve the consumers of our land in thereo-t of their daily 1 fe. but to invite a better development of American thrift and create for us closer and more. profitable I commercial relations with the rest Os the world, dt . follows hs a logical and imperative ne essttv tha' we should at once remove the ‘ chi- f if fiot the on}v obstacle which has so longspreventeiTour paWeipation In the foreign carrying trade of th® sew A tariff built.upon .the theory that It is well to cheek imports and that a home market should bound the industry and effort’of Aiaerican producers, w:is fitly supplemented by a-refusal to allow American registry to vessels built abroad thpugh owned and navigated by our people, thus exhibit .ng a willingness to abandon contest for tjie advant iges of American trans.-Oeean e carriage. -Our new tariff policy. . built upffil t:;e th-’o--. that .it is well to encre :ra-ei such Importations as o:ir people need, and that our products and mauufaetures ■ should t:-id mark- re in every part of the hibit-able-'globe.-is ei-ireistently supplfffiente I by ' the greatest possible lib -rtv to our citizens in - the ownefSh’pan I navig ition o! ships ia wiiich our products and .manufactures may be transported. . ' ' The Issue of Bonds. During the last month the gold reserved In the treu-t rv for .the purpose . f redeeming the n -set of the govermnent circulating as money in the hands of the people became so reduced, and its further denletion in the: near future seemed so cert.il i that'jjn the exercise Os proper care for the. publse welfare it became necessary to repie.ui'h the reserve and thus maintain popular faith iti the ability and determination of the government to meet, as agreed, its pec.lniiry obligations.' It would have been well if in this emergency authority hid existed to issue bonds of the government bearing a low, rate of. interest • and maturing within a short period, but the congress having failed to confer such authority, resort was necessarily had to th® resumption act of 1875. and pur uant to its provisions bOnds were issued drawing interest at the rate of 5 percent- per annum, and maturing tea vears afn?r their issue. th it being the -hottest time authorized by the act lam glad to say, however, th it on the sale of these bon Is rhe premium received operated to redo- e the rate of interest to be paid by the government to less than'3 per cent. T cannot for a moment believe that any of out viti.-eus are-’d liberateiy. willing that- their go . ernm >nt should default in its pecuniary ob- . t ,»ns or that its financial operations should be reduced to a silver basis. At any rate I should not feel that my duty was done if I omitted any effort 1 could make to avert such a calamity. Change in Currency System Advocated. The absolute divorcement of the government from .the business of banking is the ideal relationship of the government to the circulation of the currency o' -he country. This condition cannot be immediately reached but as a step in that direction, and. us a means of securing a more elastic currency and ob iating ojher obie. tions to the present arrangement of bank circulation, the secretary of the treasury presents in his report a scueme modifying present banking laws and providing for the issue of circulating notes by stat-? bunks tree from taxation under certain limitations. Features of the Proposed Scheme. It is proposed to repeal ail laws providing for the deposit of. United S'ates bonds as security tor circulation: to permit national batiks to issue circulating notes not exceeding in amount 75 per cent of their paid up and unpa.d capital, provided they deposit with the government, as. a guarantee fun*, in United States legal tender notes, including treasury n-tes of 189 '. n sum equal in amount to 3J per cent, of the notes they desire to issue, nils deposit to be maintained at all times, but whenever any bank retire- any part of its circulation a proportional part of Its guarantee fund shall be returned to it: to permit the secret »rv of the treasury to -pre-, pare and keep on hand ready for i.-sue in ca-e an increase in eirerflatiqn is desired blank national bank notes for each bank having circulation. and to repeal the provision- of the present law imposing, limitations and restrictions upon banks desiring to reduce or increase their circulation—thus permitting such increase, or reduction within the limit of 75 per cent, of capital t i be quickly blade as emergencies arise. ~ For a Safety t und. In addition to the guarantee fund required, it is proposed to provide a safety fund for the immediate redemption of the circulating notes -of failed .'banks- by imposing a agnail, annual tax. -ay one-half of 1 per cent . upon tne average circulation of eacn bank until the fund amount to 5 per cent, of the total circulation outstanding When a bank falls it- gu-nintee fund is to be paid into th:s safety fund and its note*are to be redeemed I in the first instance from such safety fund i thus augmented -any impairment of such I f-ind c iu- 1 thereby to be made good from the I -.mmediatelv'available cash -assets of said bank, and if these should be insufficient such impairment io be made good by pro rata- assessment among the other banks, their contributions constituting a first lien upon the assets of failed bank ia favor of the coutriouting banks; as a further security it is contemplated that th® existing condition fixing the individual llabilty of stockholders is to be retained ’and the bank s indebtedness oh account of its circulating notes is to be made a first lien on all its as-ets. For the purpose of meeting the expense of printing notes, official supervision, cancellation and other like charges there shall be tali'poaed a tax of say % of 1 percent, per anI num up-m.the avferoge amount of notes tn circulation It is further provided- th -.t there I shall be no national bank notes issued of less I denominatfon than ten dollars: th «t each nai tiotmlbahk except in case of a failed bang, .’shall redeem or retire its note, in the.first tnI si-an’-e at it s own Ofltee or at agencies to be designate T bv it. and that no fixed reserve i need be maintained on account of deposits. Another very important feature of this -p.an is the exemption of state batiks from taxation i bv. the Una -d States in cases where it is shown to the satisfaction of the secretary' of I the treasury and comp*roher?,of the. currency ' by banks claiming f-ach exemption that they dire not had' outstanding their circulating - notes exceeding 75 per cent, of their paid-up ami unimpaired capital: that tbeir stockholders are individually liable for the redemotion of tbeir circulating notes to the f ill extent of their ownership of stock; that the liability of said tanks upon their circulating notes constitutes under their state law a first lien upon, their assets; that such banks have kept and maintained a guarantee fund In United States legal tender notes including treasury notes of 1890 equal to 30 per I cent, of tbeir outstanding circulating notes . an t that such banks hare promptly redeemed their circulating note.-ywhen presented at their j principal or branch offices. '| it is quite llkelr that this scheme may be usefully amended in seftne of Its details: but I : am satisfied it furnishes a basis for a very great improvement la our present banking and currency system. Conclusion. .1 conclude this communication, fully appra--1 dating that the responsibility for kill legislation affecting the people of the United states rests upon their representatives in the congress. and assuring them that, whether in accord >nce with recommendations I have made or not. I shall be glad to cooperate in perfecting any legislation that tends to the prosperity and welfare of our country. Gbovkb Clbvelama. Executive Mansion. December 3,1884-
