Since last March the foreign steamships
engaged lu trade with the Orient have
been reduced to eight, with no new
ships building, and he urged the subsi

Japan tor practically the same regula
tions that have been applied to the
United Slates.

regarding the advisability ot the pur
chase by the United State, ot part or
all ot Lower California, in Mexico, so
that control ol the Colorado river along
th. portion where it has broken its
bounds, could be undertaken by the
United States government. Smith urges
besides the matter ol the Colorado
river, that th. United States already
