THE MESSAGE.
PFtESIOENT CLEVELAND ADDRESSES
CONGRESS.
Synopsis of tho Important Question's
BtcnHloned Hawaii, Sliver and the
Tariff Tho Chinese Question Reviewed
A Long Message
The annual message of the president
to congress was delivered Monday noon,
t contains about 15,000 words. Follow
ing aro the salient points, of tho more
important paragraplis:
Concerning Hawaii, tho president says
It is nnnpcefsiry to state that tho ques
tion has caused serious embarrassment.
The withdrawal of the treaty from the
senate and tho sending of Commissioner
Blount to Honolulu ure viewed.
"After a thorough and exhaustive ex
amination Mr. Blount submitted to me
his report, showing beyond all question
tnat the constitutional government of
Hawaii had been subverted, with the
active aid of our representative to that
government, and through the intimida
tion caused by the presence of an armed
naval f orce of the United States which
was landed for that purpose at the in
stance of our minister.
"Upon the facts doveloped it seemed
to me the only honorable course for our
government to pursue was to undo the
wrong that had been done by those rep
resenting us and to restore as -far as
practicable the statns existing at the
time of our forcible intervention. In
view of accomplishing this result, with
in the constitutional limits of executivo
power, and recognizing all our obliga
tions and responsibilities growing out of
any changed conditions brought about
by our unjustifiable interference, our
present minister at Honolulu has re
ceived appropriate instructions to that
end. Thus far no information of the
accomplishment of , any definite results
has been received from him. Additional
advices are boon expected. When re
ceived they will be promptly sent to
congress, together with all other infor
mation at hand, accompanied by a
special executive message fully detail
ing all the facts necessary to a complete
understanding of the case, and present
ing a history of all tho material events
leading up to the present situation. "
Tba ClilBese.
"The legislation of last year, known
as the Geary law, requiring the regis
tration of all Chinese laborers entitled
to residence in the United States, and
the deportation of all not complying
with the provisions of the act within
the time prescribed, met with much op
position from Chinamen in this country.
Acting upon the advice of eminent coun
sel that the law was unconstitutional,
the great mass of Chinese laborers,
pending judicial inquiry as to its valid
ity, in good faith declined to apply for
the certificates required by its pro
ririons. "It is believed that, under the recent
amendment of the- act extending the
time for regWtration, the Cliinese labor
ers thereto entitled, who desire to reside
in this cocntry, will now avail them
selves of the renewed privilege.
Repeal of the Silver rorchasa Act.
The recent repeal of the provision of
law requiring the purchase of silver bul
lion by tho government as a feature of
oar monetary scheme has made an en
tire change in the complexion of our
currency affair. I do not doubt that the J
ultimato result of this action will be
most salutary and far reaching. In the
nature of things, however, it is impossi
ble to know nt this time precisely what
conditions will be brought nbout by the
change, or what, if any, supplementary
legislation may in the light of euch con
ditions appear to be essential or expedi
ent. Of course, after the recent finan
cial perturbation time is necessary for
the re-establishmont of business confi
dence. When, however, through this
restored confidence the money which has
been frightened into hoarding places is
returned to trade and enterprise, the
survey of the. situation will probably
disclose a safe path leading to a perma
nently sound currency, abundontly suf
ficient to niect every requirement of our
Increasing population and business.
In the pursuit of this object we should
resolutely tarn away from alluring and
temporary expedients, determined to bo
content with nothing less than a la.-ting
and comprehensive financial plan. In
these circunistinccs I am convinced that
a reasonable dulay in dealing with this
Fubject. instead of being injurious, will
increase tho probability of wiso action.
The Wilson Tariff Hill Indorsed.
The president recommends the passage
of the rejrm tariff bill prepared by the
wavs and means committee.
Large congregations assembled in all
tho Catholic churches in the United
States lost Sunday, which was the day
sot to tako up a collection to buy a
homo in Washington for Mgr. SatolU.
J. J. Van Alen will not go to Italy as
United States ambassador. He respect
fully declines to accept the. appointment
and in spite of the president's request
that ho reconsider this determination he
firmly declines. The correspondence has
been inado pnblic,
Tho report of tho interstate commerce
commission pays special attention to the
court decisions wherein' the word "line"
is given a different meaning from that
held by the commission. Recommenda
tion is made for an amendment so as to
bring water carriers under tho law. Tho
commission recommends additional leg
islation on tho following subjects: With
Tespoct to proceedings to enforce lawful
orders of tho commission; to give legis
lative construction to the word "line
in the statute; to provide for establish
ing through routes and joint through
rates; to give tho commission power to
prescribe minimum as well as maximum
rotes to competitive points; to provide
for the adoption of a uniform freight
classification; to make corporations sub
ject to tho act liable to indictment for
violations of -the Iuw; to provide a pen
alty for failure on the part of carriers
to file annual reports within, a specified
time. .

exercised over the compulsory change in

It has been definitely determined that
the income tax system to be reported by
tho ways and means committee will bo
confined to a tax on the net incomes of
all corporations and on successions and
legacies. The Democrats of the commit
tee havo also decided to increase the
rates radically on cigarettes and to im
pose a tax on playing cards.
Tho postmaster general's annual re
port shows that the deficiency for the

instead of $1,532,432, as estimated by
Wana maker. Instead of a surplus there
will be adeficit of $7,830,000 the current
year. It is estimated that the gross rev
enue of the year ending June SO, 1893,
will be $S4,427,74S and the expenditures
30,899,483. The deficit will be increased
fl ,250,000 by the fund, taken from the
unpaid money order account. -
The annual report of the secretary of
the interior reviews the work of all
branches of the department during the
past year. He comments oa the ntter
inadequacy of the legislation thus far
enacted to provide for the legimate pro
curement of public timber to supply the
actual necessities of the people depend
ent upon th?m to promote the settle
