tha International character of the prob
lem and In the desire of reaching some
wise and practical solution of It.
The British government has published a
resume of the steps .taken jointly by the
French ambassador in London and the
special envoys of the United States, with
whom our ambassador in London actively
co-operated in the presentation of this
ubject to her majesty's government. This
will be laid before congress. Our special
envoys have not made their final report,
as further negotiations between the rep
resentatives of this government and the
governments of other countries are pend
ing and in contemplation. They believe
that the doubts which have been raised
In certain quarters respecting the possi
bility of maintaining the stability of the
irlty between the metals and kindred
Uesllons may yet be solved by further
IKotlations.
Meanwhile, it gives me satisfaction to
late that the special envoys have al
lady demonstrated their ability and flt
fss to deal with the subject, and it is to
be earnestly hoped that their labors may
result in an international agreement
which will bring about recognition of
both gold and silver as money upon such
terms and with such safeguards as will
ecure the use of both metals upon a
basis which shall work no Injuries to
any class of citizens.
RECIPROCITY.
Kesotlntlon Peutllns With Euro
pean) and American Government.
In order to execute as early as possible
the provisions of the third and fourth sec
tions of the revenue act approved July
14, 1897. I appointed the Hon. John A.
Kasson, of Iowa, a special commissioner
plenipotentiary to undertake the requi
site negotiations with foreign countries
desiring to avail themselves of these pro
visions. The negotiations are now proceed
ing with several governments, both Euro
pean and American. It is believed that
by a careful exercise of the powers con
ferred by that act, some grievances of
our own and of other countries In our
mutual trade relations may be either re
moved or largely alleviated, and that the
volume of our commercial exchanges may
be enlarged with advantage to both con
tracting parties.
THE MERCHANT MARINE.
Government Should Foster This
IiUiiKiitNhiiiK Industry.
Most desirable from every standpoint of
national interest and patriotism is the
effort to extend our foreign commerce. To
this end our merchant marine should be
Improved and enlarged. We should do our
full share of the carrying trade of the
world. We do not do it now. We should
not be laggard any longer. The inferi
ority of our merchant marine is justly hu
miliating to the national pride. The gov
ernment, by every proper constitutional
means, should aid in making our ships
tnmllfar visitors at every commercial port
of the world, thus opening up new and
valuable markets to the surplus products
of the farm and factory.
SEALING tllESTION.
KrKOtlatlons In I'rogrexii for Preser
vation of the Herds.
The efforts which have been made dur
ing the two previous administrations by
my predecessors to secure better protec
tion to the fur seals in the North Pa
cific ocean and Behring sea were renewed
at an early date by this administration,
and have been pursued with earnestness.
Upon my invitation, the governments of
Jiussla and Japan sent delegates to Wash
ington, and an international conference
was held during the monthB of October
and November last, wherein it was unant
mously agreed that under the existing
regulations this species of useful animals
was threatened with extinction and that
an international agreement of all Inter
ested powers was necessary for their
adequate protection.
The government of Great Britain did
not see proper to be represented at this
conference, but subsequently sent to
Washington as delegates the expert com
missioners of Great Britain and Canada,
who had during the past two years visited.
the Frlbvloff Islands, and who met in con
f erence similar commissioners on the part
of the United States. The result of this
conference was un agreement on the lm
jjortant facts connected with the condi
tlon of the seal herd heretofore in dis
pute, which should place beyond contro
vcrsy the duty of the government con
cerned to adopt measures without delay
for the preservation and restoration of the
herds. Negotiations to this end are now
in progress, the result of which I hope
to be able to report to congress at an
early day.
INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Recent Eventi Strengthen the Preal
dent's Views.
International arbitration cannot be
omitted from the list of subjects claimlnt
our consideration. Events have recently
erved to strengthen the general views on
this question expressed in my inaugural
address. The best sentiment of the civil
ized world is moving toward the settle
ment of differences between the' nations
without resorting to the horrors of war.
Treaties embodying these humane prin
ciples on broad lines without in any way
Imperiling our Interests or our honor shall
bave my constant encouragement.
THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
Arguments for a Liberal Appropri
ation by Congress.
The acceptance by this government of
the invitation of the republic of France
to participate in the universal exposition
of 1HU0 at Paris was immediately followed
by the appointment of a special commis
sioner to represent the United States In
the proposed exposition with special ref
erence to the securing of space for an ad
equate exhibit on behalf of the United
States.
Tha special commissioner delayed his
departure for Paris long enough to aseer-
tain the probable demand for space by
American exhibitors. His Inquiries de
veloped an almost unprecedented interest
In the proposed exposition, and the lnfor
niatlon thus secured enabled him to Justi
fy an application for a much larger al
lotment of space for the American section
than had been reserved by the exposition
authorities. The result was particularly
gratifying in view of the fact that the
United States was one of the last coun
tries to accept the invitation of France.
The reception accorded our special com
mlssloner was most cordial, and he was
aiven every reasonable assurance that
the United States would receive a consid
cratlon commensurate with the propor
tions Of our exhibit.
The report of the special commissioner
at to the magnitude of the coming expo
eltlon and the demand for space for Amer
lean exhibits supplies new arguments for
a liberal and Judicious appropriation by
congress to the end that an exhibit fairly
representative of the Industries and re
sources of our country may be made in
an exposition which will Illustrate tha
world's progress during the 19th century,
Ths exposition Is intended to be the mos
Important and comprehensive of the long
series of International exhibitions of
which our own at Chicago was a brilliant
example, and it Is desirable that ths
United States should make a worthy ex
hibit of American genius and skill, and
their unrivaled achievements In every
branch of Industry.
TUB NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT.
Armor for New "Warships and Mora
Drydoeks Needed.
The present Immediate effective fores of
ths navy consists of four bsttle-shtps of
tbe first class; two of the second class
a ad 41 other vessels, ranging from
armored cruisers to torpedo-boats. There
are under construction five battle-ships of
the first class, 16 torpedo-boats and one
submarine boat. No provision has yet
been made for the armor of three of the
five battle-ships, as it has been impossible
to obtain It at the price fixed by congress.
It is of great importance that congress
provide this armor, as urtil then the
ships are of no fighting value. The pres
ent naval force, especially in view of its
increase' by ships now under construc
tion, while not as large as that Of a few
other powers, is a formidable force; its
vessels are the very best of each type;
and with the Increase that should be made
to It from time to time in the future and
careful attention to keeping it in a high
state of efficiency and repair, it is well
adapted to the necessities of the country.
The great increase of the navy which
has taken place in recent years was Justi
fied by the requirements of the naval de
fense and has received public approba
tion. The time has now arrived, how
ever, when this increase to which the
country is committed should for a time
take the form of increased facilities com
mensurate with the increase of our naval
vessels. It is an unfortunate fact that
there Is only one dock on the Pacific coast
capable of docking our largest ships, and
only one on the Atlantic coast, and the
latter has for the last six or seven months
been under repair and therefore incapable
of use. Immediate steps should be
taken to provide three or four docks of
this capacity on the Atlantic coast, at
least one on the Pacific coast, and a float
ing dock on the Gulf. This is the recom
mendation of a very competent board ap
pointed to investigate the subject.
There should also be ample provision
made for powder and projectiles and other
munitions of war and for an Increased
number of officers and enlisted men. Some
additions are also necessary to our navy
yards for the repair and care of the larger
number of vessels. As there are now on
the stocks five battle-ships of the largest
class, which cannot be completed for a
year or two. I concur with the recom
mendation of the secretary of the navy
for an appropriation authorizing the con
struction of one battle-ship for the Pa
cific coast, where there Is at present only
one In commission and one under con
struction, while on the Atlantic there are
three in commission and four under con
struction, and also several torpedo-boats
authorizes in connection with our general
system of coast defense.
NEEDS OF ALASKA.
Existing; Conditions Demand a
Change in the Laws.
The territory of Alaska requires the
prompt and early attention of congress.
The conditions now existing demand a
material change in the laws relating to
the territory. The great influx of popula
tion during the past summer and fall and
the prospect of a still larger immigra
tion in the spring will not permit us to
longer neglect the extension of civil au
thority within the territory or postpone
the establishment of a more thorough
government. A general system of public
surveys has not yet been extended to
Alaska, and all entries thus far mude in
that district are upon special surveys.
The act of congress extending to Alaska
the mining laws of the United States con
tained the reservation that it should not
be construed to put In force the general
land laws of the country.
By an act approved March a, 1S91, au
thority was given for entry of lands for
townslte purposes, nnd also for the pur
chase of not exceeding 100 acres then or
thereafter occupied for purposes of
trade and manufacture. The pur
pose of congress, as thus lar
expressed, has been- that only
such rights should apply to the territory
as should be specifically named. It will
be seen how much remains to be done for
that vast, remote, and yet promising por
tion of our country.
Special authority was given to the pres
ident by the act approved July 24, 18117. to
divide that territory into two land dis
tricts, and to designate the boundaries
thereof, and to appoint registers and re
ceivers of said land offices, and the presi
dent was also authorized to appoint a
surveyor-general for the entire district.
Pursuant to this authority, a surveyor
general and receiver have been appoint
ed, with offices at Sitka. If in the ensu
ing year the conditions Justify it, the addi
tional land district authorized by law
will be established with an office at some
point in the Yukon valley. No appropria
tion, however, was made for this pur
pose, and that Is now necessary to bo
done.
The Military Post.
I concur with the secretary of war In
his suggestions as to the necessity for a
military force in the territory of Alaska
for the protection of persons and prop
erty. Already a small force consisting
of 25 men and two officers, under com
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Randall, of
the Eighth Infantry, has been sent to
St, Michaels to establish a military post.
As It is to. the interest of the government
to encourage the development of the coun
try and Its duty to follow up its citizens
there with the benefits of legal machin
ery, I earnestly urge upon congress the
establishment of a system of government
of such flexibility as will enable It to ad
Just Itself In the future to the needs at
tendant upon a greater population.
Relief for Starving; Klondlkers.
The startling though possibly exag
gerated reports from the Yukon river
country of the probable shortage of food
for the large number of people who are
wintering there without the means of leav
ing the country, are confirmed In such
measure as to justify bringing the matter
to the attention of congress. Access to
that country this winter can be had only
by the passes from Pyea and vicinity,
which is a most difficult and perhaps Im
possible task. However, should these re
ports of the suffering of our fellow-cltl-sens
be further verified, every effort at
any cost should be made to carry them
relief.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
New Regulations for Five Civilised
, Tribes Are Imperative.
For a number of years It has been ap
parent that the condition of the five civil
ized tribes In the Indian territory under
treaty provisions with the United States,
with the right of self-government and
the exclusion of all white persons from
within their borders, have undergone so
complete a change as to render the contin
uance of the system thus Inaugurated
practically impossible. The total number
of the five civilized tribes, as shown by
the last census, is 45,484, and this number
has not materially Increased, while the
white population is estimated at from
200,000 to 250,000, which, by permission of
the Indian government, has settled In the
territory. The present area of the Indian
territory Is 25.504,546 acres, much of which
Is very fertile land. The United States
citizens residing In the territory, most of
whom have gone there by Invitation or
with the consent of the tribal authorities,
have made permanent homes for them
selves. Numerous towns have been built.
In which from looo to 5000 white people
now reside.
Valuable residence and business houses
have been erected In many of them and
large business enterprises are carried on
In which vast sums of money are em
ployed, and yet these people, who have
Invested their capital In the development
of the productive resources of the coun
try, are without title to the land they oc
cupy and have no voles whatevtr In ths
government of tha rations or tribes.
Thousands of their chl.urcn who were
born in the territory ara of school age,
but the doors of the schools of the sec
tions are shut against them and what
education they get Is by private contribu
tion. No provision for the protection of
the life or property of these white citi
zens is made by the tribal governments
and courts. The secretary of the interior
reports that leasing Indians have ab
sorbed great tracts of land to the exclu
sion of the common people, and govern
ment by an Indian aristocracy has been
practically established, to the detriment
of the people. It has been found impos
sible for the United States .to keep its
citizens out of the territory, and the con
ditions contained in the treaties with the
nations have for the most part become
Impossible of execution. Friends of the
Indians have long believed that the best
Interests of the Indians of the five civil
ized tribes would be found In American
citizenship with all the rights and privi
leges which belong to that condition.
The Dawes Commission.
By section 16 of .the act of March 3,
1S93, the president was authorized to ap
point' three commissioners to enter Into
negotiations with the Cherokee, Choctaw,
Chickasaw, Muskogee (or Cret k) and Semi
nole nations, commonly known as the tlve
civilized tribes in the Indian territory.
Briefly, the purpose of the negotiations
was the extinguishment of the tribal title
to any land within that territory, now
held by any and all such nations or tribes,
either by cession of the same or some
part thereof to the United States, or by
allotment or by division of the same in
severalty among the Indians of such na
tions or tribes respectively as may be en
titled to the same, or by such other
method as may be agreed upon between
the several nations and tribes aforesaid or
each of them with the United States, with
a view to such an adjustment upon the
basis of Justice and equity as may, with
the consent of the said nations of Indians
so far as may be necessary, requisite and
suitable, enable the ultimate creation of a
state or states of the Union which shall
embrace the lands within said Indian ter
ritory. The commission met much oppo
sition from the beginning. The Indians
were very slow to act and those in con
trol manifested a decided disinclination
to meet with favor the propositions sub
mitted to them. More than three years
ago the commission affected an agreement
with the Choctaw nation alone. The
Chickasaws have refused to agree to its
terms, and, as they have a common Inter
est with the Choctaws In the lands of said
nations, the agreement with the latter
nation could not have been made with
out the consent of the former. April 23,
1897, the commission effected an agree
ment with both tribes the Choctaws and
Chickasaws. This agreement, It is under
stood, has been ratllied by the constituted
authorities of the respective tribes or na
tions or parties thereto, and only requires
ratification by congress to make it bind
ing. on the 27th of September, 1S97, an
agreement was effected with the Creek
nation, but If is understood that the na
tional council refused to ratify the same.
Negotiations are ytt to be had with the
Cherokees, the most populous of the live
civilized tribes, and wiih the Semlnoles,
the smallest In point of numbers and ter
ritory. Tne provision of the Indian appropria
tion act approved June 10, li96, makes it
the duty of the commission to Investigate
and determine the rights of applicants for
citizenship in the five civilized tribes,
The commission Is at present engaged In
this work among the tribes, and has made
arrangements lor taking the census of
these people up to and Including the 30th
pf the present month.
Should the agreement between the Choc
taws and Chickasaws be ratified by con
gress and should the other tribes fall to
make an agreement with the commission,
then 6ome legislation must be had by con
gress which, while just and honorable to
the Indians, shall be equitable to the
white people who have settled upon these
lands by Invitation of the tribal nations,
Hon. Henry L, Dawes, chairman of the
commission, in a letter to the secretary of
the Interior under date of October 11, 1897,
says:
Individual ownership Is not In their
(the commission's) opinion absolutely es
sential to any permanent Improvement in
conditions, and the lack of it is the root
of nearly all the evils which have so
grievously atillcted these people. Allot
ment by agreement is the only possible
method, unles3 the United States courts
are clothed with the authority to apportion
the lands among the citizen Indians for
whose use it was originally granted,
I concur with the secretary of the In
terior that there can be no cure for the
evils engendered by the perversion of these
great trusts except by their resumption by
tne government which created them.
QUARANTINE LAWS.
Appointment of a Bacteriological
Commission Also Recommended.
The recent prevalence of the yellow fever
In a number of cities and towns through
out the South has resulted In mttVh dis
turbance of commerce and demonstrated
the necessity of such amendments to our
quarantine laws as will make the regula
tions of the national quarantine authori
ties paramount.
The secretary of the treasury, In that
portion of his report relating to the opera
tlon of the marine hospital service, calls
attention to the defects In the present
quarantine laws, and recommends amend
ments thereto which will give- the treas
ury department the requisite authority to
prevent the invasion of epidemic diseases
from foreign countries, and In times of
emergency, like that of the past summer,
will add to the efficiency of the sanitary
measures for the protection of the people
and at the same time prevent unnecessary
restrictions of commerce. I concur In his
recommendation.
In further effect to prevent the Invasion
of the United States by yellow fever, the
Importance of the discovery of the exact
cause of the disease, which up to the
present time has been undetermined, has
been obvious, and to this end a systematic
bacteriological investigation should be
made. I therefore recommend that con
gress authorize the appointment of a
commission by tho president to consist of
four expert bacteriologists, to be selected
from the medical corps of the marine hos
pital service, one to be appointed from
civil life, one from the medical corps of
tha army and one from the navy.
THE BOXD-AIDED ROADS.
To Protect the Government's Inter
est la the Kansas Pacific,
The Union Pacific railway, main line,
was sold under decree of the United
States court for the district of Nebraska
on November 1 and 2, this year. The
amount due the government consisted of
the principal of the subsidy bonds, $27,
230,512, and the accrued Interest thereon,
$31,211,711 75, making the total indebtedness
$58,448,223 75.
The bid at the sale covered the first
mortgage lien and the entire mortgage
claim of the government (less Interest).
The sale of the subsidized portion of the
Kansas Pacific line, upon which tha gov
ernment holds a second-mortgage Hen
has been postponed at the Instance of the
government to December 16, 1897. The
debt of this division of the Union Pa
cific railroad to the government, Novem
ber 31. 1897, was the principal of the sub
sidy bonds, $6,303,000, and tha unpaid and
accrued interest, $6,626,690 33, making a
total of $12,929,690 33. The sate of this road
was originally advertised for Novenr
4. For the purpose of securing tha most
publla notice of tha event, It was post
poned until December 16, and a second
advertisement of tha sals was made. By
the decree of the court, the upset price
at tha sale of tha Kansas Pacific .must
yield to tha government tha sum of
$2,500,000 over all prior Hens and charges.
If no uther or better bid Is made, this
ium Is all that the government will re
ceive on its claim of nearly $13,000,000.
The government has no Information as
to whether there will be other bidders or
another bid than the maximum amount
herein stated. The question presented,
therefore, is whether the government
shall, under the authority given It by the
act of March 23, 1S94, purchase or redeem
the road in the event that a bid Is not
made by private parties covering the en
tire government claim.
To enable the government to bid at the
sale will require a deposit of J900.000, as
follows: In the government cause, $500,000,
and In each of the first mortgage causes,
$200,000, and in the latter, the. deposit
must be In cash. Payments at the sale
are to be as follows: Upon acceptance
of the bid a sum which, with the amount
already deposited, shall equal 15 per cent
of the bid, the balance In installments
of 25 per cent, 30, 40 and 50 days after the
confirmation of the sale.
The lien on the Kansas Pacific, prior
to that of the government on July 30,
1897, principal and Interest, amounted to
$7,421,088 11. The government, therefore,
should It become the highest bidder, will
have to pay the amount of the first-mortgage
Hen. I believe that under the act
of 18S7 It has authority, to do this, and
In the absence of any action by con
gress I shall direct the secretary of the
treasury to make the necessary deposit,
as required by the court s decree, to
qualify as a bidder and to bid at the sale
a sum which will at least equal the prin
cipal of the debt due to the government,
but suggest, in order to remove all con
troversy, that an amendment to the law
be Immediately passed explicitly giving
such powers and appropriating in general
terms whatever sum is sufficient therefor.
In so Important a matter as the govern
ment becoming the probable owner of the
railroad property, which it perforce must
conduct and operate, I feel constrained
to lay before congress these facts for Its
consideration and action before the con
summation of the sale. It is clear to my
mind that the government should not
permit the property to be sold at a price
which will yield less than one-half the
principal of its debt and less than one-
fifth of its debt, principal and interest.
The government, rather than accept less
than Its claim, should become a bidder
and thereby the owner of the property.
and I submit this to congress for action.
CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY,
Recommends That Oonnrress
Con-
tlnue to Develop It.
The congressional library, provided for
by the act of congress approved April 17,
1Mb, has been completed and opened to
the public. It should be a matter of con
gratulation that through the foresight and
munificence of congress the nation pos
sesses this noble treasure-house of knowl
edge. It is earnestly to be hoped that,
having done so much toward the cause
of education, congress will continue to de
velop the library in every phase of re
search, to the end that It may not only
be .ne of the mbst magnificent, but
among the richest and most beautiful
libraries in the world.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Room for Further ' Improvement,
Which Will Be Made.
The Important branch of our govern
ment known as the civil service, the prac
tical Improvement of which has long been
a subject of earnest discussion, has of
late years received Increased legislative
and executive approval. During the past
few months, the Bervlce has been placed
on a Btlll firmer basis of business meth
ods and personal merit. While the right
of our veteran soldiers to reinstatement
in deserving cases has been asserted, dis
missals for merely political reasons have
been carefully guarded against, the exam
inations for admittance to the Bervlce
enlarged and at the same time rendered
less technical and more practical, and a
distinct advance has been made by giving
a hearing before dismissal upon all cases
where incompetency is chnrged or a de
mand Is made for removal of officials in
any of the departments.
This order has been made to give the ac
cused his right to be heard without In
any way impairing the power of removal.
'which should always be exercised In cases
of Inefficiency or Incompetency, and which
is one of the safeguards of the civil ser
vice reform system, preventing stagna
tion and deadwood and keeping every
employe keenly alive to the fact that se
curity of tenure depends not on favor,
but on his own tested and carefully
watched record of service. Much, of
course, still remains to be accomplished
before the system can be made reasonably
perfect for our needs. There are places
now In the classified service which ought
to be exempted and others unclassified
may properly be Included. I shall not hes
itate to exempt cases which I think have
been Improperly included In the classified
servlceor Include those which, In my Judg
ment, will best promote the public ser
vice. The system has the approval of the
people and It will be my endeavor to up
hold and extend It.
I am forced by the length of this mes
sage to omit many Important references
to affairs of the government with which
congress will have to deal at the present
session. They are fully discussed In the
departmental reports, to all of which 1
Invite your earnest attention.
The estimates of the expenses of ths
government by the severul departments
should have your careful scrutiny. While
congress may find It an easy task to re
duce the expenses of the government, It
should not encourage their Increase.
These expenses will, in my Judgment, ad
mit of a decrease in many branches of
the government without Injury to the pub
lic service. It Is a commanding duty to
keep . the appropriations within the re
ceipts of the government snd thus prevent
a deficit. WILLIAM McKlNLKY.
